[And Fred turns back to the water, eyes deep set in concentration because all magic, especially a spell of his own making, requires absolute focus; but traces of the smile stay on in the way he marvels at his own production as it begins to form and wrap itself around the both of them.

Sure enough, as the monster swallows them both, he feels the cold surround him - but none of the base instinct that says 'air, you need air.' It surprises him once again, and though he actually managed to accomplish some semblance of the suspension originally desired, it breaks his focus and they both go splashing back down into the fountain's pool, at which point he just lays in the water laughing loudly.]
