Realizing His Folly

*Thud*

A loud crashing noise was heard followed by a low groan filled with pain.

The snowstorm from earlier had drifted far away from the place where it had first originated and had finally come to a halt after traveling a considerable distance.

The moment it reached the end of its life, the snowstorm ceased existing just as quickly as it had come into existence.

'Where am I?' The young boy who had been swept away by the storm wondered when his body came in contact with the cold ground.

He did not know how long the whirlwind had been carrying him nor did he know about the location where it had tossed him.

The only aspect he knew thoroughly was the pain rippling through his body.

Draco could not even open his eyes as his eyelids had been frozen shut after being surrounded by that freezing whirlwind until now.

His body was now laid on the ground which had a thick layer of snow already covering it.
