Bump....bump..bump the excitement of the race was beginning to wear off for Norah as her nose progressed to further levels of painful numbness. She gave Cris and Jasmine each a weak thumbs up because she was NOT going to sit here and complain about the cold to her two new and totally mature acquaintances friends. Her eyes fell to her hands which were red and freezing, but her inspection was cut short by Cris yelling for her to watch out. Scolding herself for her moment of distraction she threw herself behind Cris and stuck her wand out from behind him, yelling Reducto...reducto...reducto! She shot the spells somewhat at random, highly aware of the fact that she knew a grand total of zero other helpful spells in this situation. Pulling herself back up from behind the boy she gave him a grin and said, "Thanks." She looked over to Jasmine and saw her still holding the reigns. They were a reliable group, those two.
