As the wind started to pick up, Sutton quickly cast "Protego Caellum," around herself. Looking around, she tried to find a tree to hold on to as Professor Bellaire had suggested, but apparently she and Minnie had picked a really bad place to stand on the beach. The nearest tree was yards away, and the wind was picking up quickly. There was, however, a large rock nearby. Sutton wasn't sure how easy it would be to hold onto, especially once it was wet with the rain, but at the moment it was their best shot.

Seeing that Minnie was practically frozen in fear, Sutton decided running was going to be way easier than trying to explain. She grabbed the girl by the hand and started running through the sand toward the large rock. Unexpectedly, a gust of wind ripped toward them, throwing sand in Sutton's face. She closed her eyes just in time. Before she could even recover from that, something very solid and round smashed into her back, right near her left shoulder blade, causing her to let go of Minnie's hand.

At least it wasn't hear wand arm.

Reaching the rock, Sutton dropped down and tried to reach her arms out around the rock. Letting out a cry of pain that she was sure no one could have heard over the wind, she with drew her left arm back near her body.

This was not good.
