Ginny sat there, answers in hand, trying to make head of tail of the puzzle.

The middle line was being troublesome, but...

Something about getting wet?

A tall man's hand won't reach?

Ginny went over to the sink, took out her wand and ordered "Accio key". then, for good measure, she reached down and had a rummage aroud the plughole, and under the sink.

Romilda tangled her fingers in her hair as she worked on the rebus. She had a slip of parchment next to her with the answers to this week's riddles. Well, she hadn't been able to figure out the fourth riddle, but that seemed alright now, since the answer wasn't required to solve the rebus.

A tall man's hand can't reach, in you... go?, wet you get, to the...

She frowned. There was a small image of some sort of plant... Neville would figure it out in a second... She peered at it. It looked like those cotton balls Muggles used to desfinfect wounds... Cotton... bottom... of... She glared at the parchment. A horse bridle? Ridle? No, that couldn't be right... bit! it...

She looked at the solution, then glanced at Ginny who had walked into the bathroom. She heard her rummage, but she came out again, Romilda had already gotten up. Her eyes met Ginny's for a moment, before she made a run for the garden. The hot tub!

Ginny saw Romilda making a dash for the garden.

She's figured it out!

She began to run as fast as she could to the garden. Charging forward, Ginny extended her wand arm and yelled 'Accio Key!' pointing the wand towards the tub as she continued running.

"Oh no you don't!" Romilda laughed as she ran towards the tub, made a jump, hit her knee on the edge - but didn't really care - and dived into the water.

The key was already starting to flow towards the surface and she grabbed for it, not wanting to let it fly out of the water.
