Morphena was about to grab his wand to shut the door when he heard more footsteps. He wouldn't get there in time! He dived headfirst into the large bath, but still heard Steph's soft walk as she entered the room.
He peered above the water - slightly high enough to see that she had taken his wand, his robes, his shirt, his pants, and his underwear.
Probably his dignity.
"Hmph," he said. "There goes any sympathy for her."
He climbed out of the bath, and looked around for something to cover himself in. There was nothing - wizards dry themselves magically and he wasn't prepared for this.
Well, I'll have to risk it, he thought, walking over the the door in the nude. But the door was locked; he was trapped.
He would have to wait until some other prefect came in - in the meantime, he'd carry on enjoying his bath.
One way or another, he was not going to let her embarass him like this. Not without even worse revenge. And to think, he was planning on forgiving her.
