It wasn't too hard to organise a path to the portal once they were all back together. Lily had been suggesting several more complicated things… until Kat had pointed out that Appoline and herself were perfectly capable of just 'climbing' along the wall without damaging their hands. Wiggles would need help sure… but he was also tiny enough that Kat could carry him, and so could Lily.
So once that was all established they drunk some more potions and dove into the water with Lily leading the way. The fish Lily had been annoyed at was, shockingly, still there in the water. It did turn slightly when so many people approached the entrance… but didn't do anything else. Kat was expecting it from Lily's stories but it was kind of weird to see. The green roots blocking the area had also entirely healed, and needed to be cut open again.
