As Zander got on behind Simon, he prepared himself mentally for the whizzing snowballs and whatever obstacles lay ahead of him. The Abraxan began moving at a reasonable pace and then all of a sudden, they were going really quickly! Yes, they had made the right choice with the winged horse so far. Brilliant. The horse continued to speed up and Simon had to hold onto the railing of the chariot. He nodded and grinned. "Yeah, he really is moving at a rapid pace," said Simon as he re-steadied himself.

They came up to the area with all the whizzing snowballs. From the far left corner of his vision, Simon could barely see something coming towards them. Nope. It wasn't a snowball. "Heads up, Zander. Flying objects. I'll get them." Using the sideways v-formation that they had learnt in DADA, he waved his wand and said the incantation, "Reducto! Reducto!" The objects were obliterated and landed safely behind them carriage.

He went back to surveying the scene when he saw something glimmer in the distance. What, was that? he wondered as he squinted his eyes, trying to decipher whatever that mold was. OH. MERLIN. It was a huge mound of ice or snow? "Watch out up ahead we have an ice mound or something," he said, informing Zander. Raising his wand, he performed another spell to protect their chariot and winged horse. "Incendio!"
