Should at least help for...a few minutes. Sigh.

The astronomer turned his attention towards the Hufflepuff, hanging on the boy's every word. "Anything is a possibility," he nodded. "Will definiately keep it on the back burner," he continued, giving his noggin a firm pat with his head for emphasis.

"Dodgy...at best, very dodgy," he muttered with a hint of a growl in his tone. That summed it up, didn't it? He could only assume that the extreme cold was causing some sort of chemical reaction to the school's powder and the fireplaces themselves. They were unreliable enough that he was unwilling to risk the transport of his suits though them at least.

Airey wasn't going to field any of the questions about carvings on the walls of the castle's exterior, or really anything pertaining to runes, as that was far from being his forte. Instead he looked towards the Ancient Runes professor with his mouth hanging open like a bass. Yes...what about all that?

But then his attention was pulled towards Mr. Simon and his most recent finding...and the moderate panic that ensued after. The runic theories being thrown out were giving the man a headache, so he was going to ignore those as well. "Let me take a look at that," he nodded as he leaned over the Slytherin and read the passage. Oh yes, this had been the story he had been briefly referring to at the beginning of the term in his lesson, so he was briefly tickled by having pieces of the story filled in. Briefly being the key word. Terminology was also seemingly pointing towards the winter solstice...just when had is started really getting cold around here? "Winter is extremely crippling to crops, Mr. Newell," he replied gravely with a brief glance towards Miss Cambridge as he recalled their conversation in the kitchen. She was leaving Javy's creatures alone still, yeah? "Especially back in the time of Morgan la Fay. Could very easily have been trying to weaken the kingdom this way." But that was pure speculation.

Dark wizards tended to have motives that were...dramatic and rather illogical.

And again, he glanced towards Professor Botros for all the runes talk because it was essentially going in one ear and out the other. However, something else caught his attention - and mostly because of conversations he had had with Medea over the course of the term. "Someone want to tell me what a chort is?"

A chort?

Simon blinked. Why did that word sound so familiar? Hadn't he read about it somewhere in a textbook. Wasn't that a demon or something? Now what was it? Hadn't the author mentioned that the muggles had deemed it a 'demon' but instead it was just very, very, very bad news. But also wasn't it apart of some type of mythology?

"Does it exist in our world? I thought it was a evil creature-demon-thing from mythology..." he said, trying his hardest to remember something about it. He couldn't remember anything so he supplemented his personal gut feel at the moment about the whole creature. "If they do exist then it sounds like very, very, very bad news."

And if it existed, just how could they stop it. He glanced at the older students and the Professors with curious blue eyes.
