An Uncomfortable Dinner I

Soleia frowned at the curious display of magic, but she still held her breath and focused her energies on the pile of notes sitting on the desk. Her entire room could flood, but she had to save her notes. 

A strange power flowed through her veins and once again she felt a burning sensation on her earlobes. Soleia hissed in pain, but she ignored it. She stared, enraptured, as slowly but surely the ice started to melt― no, it wasn't melting. She watched on in astonishment as the ice seemed to fade away, as though it had never been there to begin with. Her notes were perfectly dry. 

How was this possible? Before Soleia could marvel at this shocking reversal of events, she shivered and let out a sneeze. 

"Soleia!" Celestina's voice rang loudly from outside. "Don't stand inside there― it's cold!" 

"Right, I'm coming out now!" Soleia panicked.
