You have my deepest sympathy (as long as you do not
pass it on to me, that is ;-> )

I would presume that water poses an obstacle for that
spell - my impression is that in many variants of
folklore, water is an inhibitor for magic.  Of course,
Harry and the other Hogwarts-students could just be
obsessed with finding complicated solutions, where a
simpler solution would have sufficed.

Why on earth do you want help?  I find myself in a
much similar predicament (though my outline isn't
quite on paper yet), and it is a wonderful feeling. 
Can you think of anything better than being addicted
to HP?

I'll now withdraw, and get back to counting devils (I
have to doublecheck my previous results).
