Simon was out of breath from climbing all those stairs. He took a moment to catch his breath, feeling incredibly out of shape. Since the school had been closed up the boy had rarely spent any time running around the castle, he'd mainly been nicely cooped up in his common room. Ahh. Yes. It was nice and warm there. Very nice and warm with the fire dancing in the hearth. Ahh.. It was a beautiful image.

He folded his arms as he walked down the relatively silent hallway. It had an eerie presence about it as if no one had ventured up here in a couple of days. He approached the nearest wall to him and slowly put his hand on it. In a matter of seconds, he quickly retracted his hand from it. These walls felt as if they had ice on it AND this was only the fourth floor. The boy wondered what the floors above this one must have been like if this wall felt this cold. He could only imagine.

Pulling out his wand, he took a deep breath and focused. Making several sideways figure eights, the boy cast the charm by speaking the incantation relatively quietly. "Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio" he said. Only a little puff of fog appeared after four charms. His blue eyes widened. Woah. This was going to take a while!

Simon repeated the movement again and uttered, ""Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio! Caelum Saepio" This gave him a medium sized puff of fog appear in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, making sure that he was truly focused this time. "Caelum Saepio!!" he said rather loudly as he preformed the sideways figure eight. This time a large puff of fog appeared in front of him.

Wonderful!

Five charms done. Now it was time to report back to his Common Room to see if Ethan wanted to go grab a bite to eat in the snowy Great Hall. Dinner was always an experience.
