The harsh cold surounded him. The snow reflected a lot of light sent on by the sun. It wasn't very bright, but it was the region's 6 months of light, so it wasn't ever really dark. The sun didn't help much. It was still really cold, even to those bundled up with double digit layers of clothes.

It was quite easy for a wizard to keep warm in this weather though, as long as they were very careful as Remus Lupin was. He kept his wand in his hand, casting incendio every once and awhile and the heat coming from his wand would warm him up, if it was inside of his jacket, which was flame resistant.

So why was he in such an unhospitalable place such as this? Well he and a few others were to investigate a happening which took place when these transfers came. Remus didn't know the details of why, since these transfers were just students from the United States, though he guessed that there was something more there. Remus had been sent with a few others, though he was quiet as they walked to the pole, since a magnetic field prevented apparation.
