Baz storms off and, torn at the idea that he has failed, intends to kill himself through self immolation. Nicodemus at the time said no, yet refuses to tell Simon and Baz the wizard's name. They track Nicodemus to a bar in the West End, yet he only tells them that a few weeks before the attack, a magician came to him and brokered a deal to have him and other vampires attack Watford. Simon rushes to Baz's house to inform him, interrupting the Pitch family celebrations.

His request was fulfilled, but he was banished from the Magickal world. Over Christmas break, Simon learns from Ebb that she had a twin brother named Nicodemus however, after graduating, Nicodemus asked a vampire to turn him in order to gain immortality. With Baz missing, she instead asks Simon to avenge her murder (seemingly committed by vampires) and to find 'Nicodemus.' When Baz returns, having been kidnapped by creatures called Numpties and only recently escaped, he, Simon, and Penelope try to research Natasha's death and discover who Nicodemus is, but to little success. Yet another point of contention in Simon's life is his vampire roommate Basilton 'Baz' Grimm-Pitch, whom he considers his 'nemesis.' For the first two months of the school year, Baz is absent with no explanation, to Simon's frustration.Дuring October, when the veil between the living and the dead is thin, Simon is visited by Natasha Grimm-Pitch, Baz's mother and the former headmistress of Watford before The Mage. Despite their seemingly perfect relationship, Agatha yearns for independence and breaks up with Simon. Simon reunites with Penelope and the shy goatherd Ebb, as well as his beautiful girlfriend Agatha Wellbelove. The book is also frequently interrupted by short chapters narrated by a character named Lucy, who reflects on her own times at Watford years ago, and her budding relationship with another student named Davy, a man obsessed with the prophecy of the Greatest Mage. Their appearance is attributed to the Humdrum. Around the time of Simon's birth, magickal 'dead spots' started appearing all over England, places where magick no longer exists, and magickal beings are unable to use their powers. The prophecy states that one will come to end magick (believed to be a recently appeared creature called the Insidious Humdrum) and one (believed to be Simon) will bring its fall. Simon has an unprecedented amount of magical power, and is thus dubbed 'The Chosen One', the prophesied Greatest Mage. Raised among the 'Normals' (humans without magickal powers) Simon was discovered as a child by his mentor The Mage, who is the headmaster of Watford, and the leader of the magickal world. Simon Snow is an 18 year old orphaned magician returning to Watford School of Magicks for his eighth and final year. However, Rowell has said that Carry On is a novel written by herself, and should not be seen as CathвЂ™s fictional work вЂњ Carry On SimonвЂќ, which features in Fangirl. Carry On, Simon is the name of the novel-within-a-novel-based-on-a-book-series that Cath is writing in Fangirl.
