And he was back in the Library, unscathed, because they got nothing. It was a bummer really. Ethan would love to hear the device go wail and uncover a curse right before his eyes. Merlin, that would’ve been epic. The Slytherin made his way towards the group, and took note of the Headmistress. Well, did her presence mean that they found SOMETHING? Like…a solid information that the snow was indeed the chorts’ doing?

The Slytherin gave the Headmistress a nod, and sat down beside Simon. “We got nothing. Professor Botros said there was not enough runic energy to say that we are under a curse.” Well, it was good news, yes? But this boy was not ready to rule it out. Ethan moved closer to Simon and shared his fresh theories with him. “Professor Botros’ device didn’t go off. It’s either broken or tampered…or the runic curse is outside of the castle.” It is possible, yeah? The suspicious stuff always happens outside...or places wherein they don't have direct access. He’d have to ask the old man that one once he gets settled in with the rest of the Runes Crew.

“How about the two of you? What have you got so far? With the chorts?” he asked Simon and Zander as he got a random ancient looking book from the coffee table and flipped through its pages. Wait. Why was Zander's book upside down? Merlin, that boy has some talent.
