[ Harry's still upside-down when he hears the soft crunch of leaves underfoot, and with a whuff of effort, swings up and claws for one of the branches just within his reach, vying for getting into the tree rather than out of it. If it's the nymph, come back to check on her trap, he wants to be freed, rather than treed.

He lands in a crouch, hits a knee and remains low and quiet - a feat for him. ]
[ There's motion, and he whispers into his palms, readies the thrumming rings at the base of his long fingers and gets ready to knock a nymph into next week with a well-placed blast of force. Just wait. Hold on. She'll round that tree in just... a... second--! ]
