"Dementors make it feel cold. The students on the train could feel them coming as they arrived, so it's possible they froze up the mechanical bits in some way. Let's try that hypothesis if this doesn't work."
She glanced across the room to where the Head Girl and Aspen were having a ball flying their train. Flying... trust Aspen. And really it was so odd that the two of them were such good friends.
Nodding he agreed with that. It really was just wrong. "It would make a lot of sense and make it sounded like they were just following orders." Yep, he liked that idea, dementors couldn't be all that bad, right? Yes they sucked happiness out of everyone, and made everything and everyone cold. But they were useful right? I mean they did go and guard Azkaban.
"I hadn' thought of thet!" he exclaimed, "Mebbe thet was what happened, they might haf frozen mechanical stuff in the train." That's true, the students had felt the presence and the cold before the train had actually stopped.
"Ok, there's something on the track, and the train's coming down the track. Would it be far enough ahead te be able te stop in time?" he pondered as he took and started pushing the train himself towards the parchment ball obstacle. "And would there be a lurch from when it finally stopped?" Would it be able to stop though, before it hit the obstacle? And for what reason would the dementors appear if the train had stopped for the obstacle. Would they have placed an obstacle there?
