The small brunette was feeling ALL SORTS of pressure to perform but she just couldn't do it, no matter how steady her wrist was.
"Listen, Cloud." Maddie looked around to make sure no one was listening and then continued on. "I need you to not do this playing hard to get thing or whatever it is you're doing. I know change is hard but just give in. You might even like it, yeah? So change. For me. PLEASE?" Ahem. Yeah, that should do it.
Concentrating? YUP. Wrist steady? OF COURSE. OKAY.
"Stiricidium Nubila!" The first year performed the wand movement as carefully as she could and then STAREDDDD at her cloud, willing it to snow. Her eyes were growing big and sad-like when she felt a DROP. A DROP. Something wet had TOUCHED her eye! WAS THAT SNO--
Drip. Drip. Drip.
BLINK!
It was raining! The first year grooooaned and looked up at the cloud, her expression unreadable. "You're messing with me aren't you, cloud?"
How'd she STOP the rain, again?
Still soaking wet from his last attempt, Ethan wiped his face as water trickled down from his wet hair and pointed at his cloud once more. Transfiguration isn’t his best subject and this was starting to frustrate the young boy. He made an audible growl at his cloud and was about to try again, but got distracted with the sound of rain hitting the floor. He looked around and saw Coop getting drenched.
“What are you doing?” the Slytherin asked, amused at the Ravenclaw. Why was she just standing there and looking at her cloud? It dawned on him that the tiny person didn’t know how to end the spell. Ethan pointed at her cloud, and said:
“FINITE!” The Slytherin looked at the drenched little Claw and gave her a grin.
“The incantation is ‘Finite’ if you wanna stop or end a spell.” Helpful incantation if you ask him.
Turning back to his cloud, he pointed at it and started all over again.
“Stiricidium Nubila!” The cloud grew bigger and darker again…but this time it started to produce leaves and twigs.
“WHAT!?” The boy frowned and swatted the falling leaves and twigs on top of his head.
“Finite!” His cloud turned fluffy and happy looking again, while the boy—now with leaves and twigs sticking out of his hair and uniform, gave it a stink eye.
