...............and NOTHING.
What's wrong with this cloud?! He did pronounce the incantation clearly, did the wand movement properly, and there was intent! How could it possibly not do anything when he wanted the cloud to snow? Intent was there. Promise!
Grrr. Maybe Transfiguration isn't for him.
SPOILER!!: Grayson

It wasn't the fact that he was being watched. No no, Grayson really didn't care about that for once. It was the person who was talking to him that made him pause. Wasn't this the same guy who had run off to the wrong table at the start of term feast? Uh huh. He'd run off to the Huggers and Finders table when he was clearly meant to be in Slytherin. Dumb.
There was also the matter of 'mate' but the fourteen year old was going to brush that aside. Especially since this kid was offering help and free help too. Just out of the blue. A nice gesture. Huh. Maybe he could learn a thing or two about that from him.
............................... NAH. The thought itself was tiring.
"You've been having trouble with your cloud too?" Was it just as much of an idiot as his one? At least the boy wasn't as much of an idiot as he'd initially thought. Grayson eyed the cloud above his head before saying, "It could do. Intent and whatnot. That's important, yeah?" He was already rolling up his sleeves as he said this, looking more determined than before. Because he was going to get it to freaking snow. "Romanos said something about inner willpower once. That helped me with a curse." You know, if they were offering advice. Free advice.
The boy had better not tell anyone that he did this otherwise people were going to expect more free advice from him and that was a no-go.
He watched the boy curiously as he cast the spell before turning his attention towards his own cloud. This had better work otherwise.............. he'd think of something but the boy would be in trouble if he was feeding Grayson bad advice. Snoooooooow. Great flakes of snow that would be PERFECT for initiating snowball fights. "Stiricidium Nubila!"
Come on! SNOW. The kid's life depended on it. Not really.
Well, he was wrong. The other dude could talk, and not as picky as he thought he would be. Didn't he see his state? Hello? Leaves and twigs on his hair and uniform? He was a mess and it was his cloud's fault.
"Yep. It just won't snow!" he said as he pointed and poked his cloud, obviously getting frustrated with it.
"I tried the intent thing too. Doesn't work for me." Shrug. Oh well. Maybe he needs to focus more. Or maybe he just ended up with a
picky cloud. Evil, innocent looking cloud he's got.
SPOILER!!: Maddie

She just needed to remember the incantation and she could--
"Finite." Maddie eyed skateboard boy and nodded slowly, pushing some wet hair out of her face. "Right, I knew that." Clearly NOT but she wasn't about to admit it. Also, "Thank you for that." She smiled a LITTLE at the boy and then looked up at her cloud, a cloud which was no longer raining. THANK MERLIN. Now if she could just get the thing to produce SNOW.
...
After rolling her neck and tucking back her extremely ridiculous hair, Maddie was ready to have another go. She held her wand and eyed the cloud curiously, wondering what ELSE she could possibly do to get it to snow. It wasn't like she was asking it to produce KITTENS or anything, Merlin. Snow was STANDARD weather stuff. She really couldn't get why she wasn't able to do this. Clearly the possibility of her not being skilled enough hadn't crossed her mind.
"Stiricidium Nubila!" After she'd finished the wand movement, she looked up at the now changing cloud and held her breath. It WAS darkening AND changing shape but was it going to snow? HM?!
... ... ...NOPE.
More. rain. STUPIDRAINCLOUD.
The brunette wrinkled her nose and pointed her wand towards the cloud, trying not to SHOW how discouraged she was. "Finite."
Handy spell indeed.
"You're welcome, Coop." Ethan gave her a thumbs up and watched her do the spell. Eh. Nope. Rain. The Slytherin grinned at the tiny person as she ended the spell all on her own. She's a fast learner...which is expected since she's a Claw. Mhm.
Now, moving on to his cloud. His evil, fluffy, innocent looking piece of...cloud.
"What else could you possible produce?" he asked as he looked at the fluffy looking thing.
"Merlin. Just not rocks, okay? I had hail, earlier and it wasn't nice." Clearing his throat, he eyed his cloud with piercing gaze and imagined it to be snowing. Once he got that picture in his mind clearly, he went on with the incantation and wand movement.
"STIRICIDIUM NUBILA!" Ethan's cloud grew bigger and darker and started to...
SNOW.
Like...there was a
snowstorm. The Slytherin flailed at the amount of snow that was pouring down on him, and his tiny square of space in the classroom started to pile with snow in a matter of seconds.
"Too. Much. SNOW!" Ethan coughed at how cold it was and swatted the snow that was pouring down. He pointed at his cloud once more and ended the spell.
"FINITE!" And his cloud became smaller and friendly looking once more. The Slytherin flopped on his pile of snow and made an audible sigh.
Well, at least he got what he wanted now. Heh.
