33. Petrificus Totalus


"Mars has not been this bright in an age."

What in Merlin's Beard did that even mean? Better question yet, did Merlin even have a beard...? Okay so that was off topic. Think. Think. He continued to pace. So its a freezing living Hoth out there. We're snowed in. How could Mars be as bright if we're in a middle of a blizzard- that made no sense whatsoever. He paused, shaking his head. But how could we be snowed in?

First he started off looking at Astrology books but he couldn't find anything. Sighing the boy let his mind wander. The night grew darker and darker. Was it actually night though? Simon tried to look out the window but unfortunately all he could see was snow and gloom. He frowned and headed back to the bookshelves as he laid out the facts he knew to be true in his mind.

Dementors, he answered, shivering uncomfortably at the thought of meeting one. He'd rather cast a full body-bind on himself than go on a date with one of those creatures.
