Chris looked over to his co-Prefect and gave her a huge grin. She was really smart. He then listened as Professor MacFarlane gave her next discussion point. He took in the information and then thought about it for a minute before he raised his hand to speak.
"Well Professor, the possiblities of what would happen if Mercury were to be destroyed are endless. But some of them that come to my mind would be it make crash into the sun causing an explosion of a sort. Another very plausable thing would be that the planet would break up into meteors and large pieces of rock, since Mercury is a solid planet, and hit the Earth. These would have a big enough size to do serious harm on our planet. It could also as others said," glance over to Gold.
