"Well done, Jasmine. You too, Norah," Cris called down to the young Hufflepuff. He was sure he heard a couple of Reducto calls coming from the little girl.
He squinted his eyes, as he looked forward, trying to discern what was just snow on the ground and what would be a pending obstacle. Everything was so white out here that landscape just seemed to blend together.
....and that was why he almost didn't see the snow mound until they were almost upon it.
"Snow Mound, Jasmine! Right in front of us," Cris quickly pointed out the danger even as he raised his wand and pointed it at the mound. "REDUCTO!" he called out even as he waved the appropriate wand movements.
Cris watched as a blueish beam of light shot out and headed towards the mound.
Had he cast the spell in time or would they plough right into the snow mound and end the race here?
They had barely averted one disaster when Jasmine noticed something straight in front of them and getting closer, fast. Squinting her eyes to see, she realized that it was a large mound of snow and they were heading right for it. At the same moment she heard Cris warn her of the snow mound. This time she was about to steer to the right, but her new best friend must have seen it too. Without her prompting, the horse veered to the right to try to avoid the wall of snow. Her protectors had her back because Jasmine heard spells flying left and right.
It all happened so fast that Jasmine wasn't sure which happened first. The snow mound exploded and her horse managed to pass just to the right of it. If jasmine could have high fived Cris, Norah
and the horse, she would have. They were quite a team. They were still in the race and they were in it to win it.
"Way to go guys!", she yelled. Eyes back to the front, Jasmine drove on.
