Seeing that Professor Virohsa had taken care of Alex, Zekke had grabbed a second cup of hot tea went over to see how Kay was doing.

After he had set the teacup and saucer down where Kay could reach it along with a chocolate frog with a leg broken, he squared his shoulders and shook out his wand. "I'm going to check on the thermostat. Surely it's not supposed to turn people into popscicles?"

He went to the closet and pulled out some winter gear and bundled up and headed to the section of the greenhouse where Kay had come from.

Merlin, but it was COOOOOOLD!

There was a sound that sounded vaguely like "Eeee!" as he disappeared into the area. It was so cold in there that it was actually snowing! "Negative 15 degrees Celcius..." he muttered to himself as he made his way over to the thermostat.

"Good grief," he hissed, his breath looking like puffs of vapor as he mumbled to himself. The thermostat was quite frozen and covered in ice, it seemed, and the dial just would NOT budge.

Maybe it needed to be repaired with a charm or something or re-charmed.

He shuffled back out of section 30 looking like a snowman himself. "The thermostat's frozen at negative 20 and it seems like it's getting colder and colder. I'm going to try and thaw it out, but maybe someone should try warming the plants. It's going to get too cold for them before too long."

He waved and disappeared again into the Section 30 and started to work on thawing the frozen thermostat with the thawing charm.
