"Okay let's see. First, why don't you show me how you're doing it? That way I can help correct you if there's anything to correct," Cris first suggested.
"Remember keep your wrist steady, and say the incantation clearly." he reminded Norah.
Norah beamed at Cris, extending a hand to shake his. A little politeness never goes astray, eh? She turned to face her cloud with a look of grim determination. It WOULD work this time, yep. Five bazillion and first time's the charm, right? She waved her wand in the circular motion and said,
"Stiricidium Nubila," probably a little more forcefully than necessary, but she couldn't pretend she didn't have a good amount of pent up anger for that cloud. The cloud swelled a bit, darkening a few shades, and excreted a single snowflake before a shower of hail began to pound on Norah's shoes. She turned to Cris and gave him a grimace and a shrug before pointing her wand at the cloud and stating firmly,
"Finite." "I don't know what I'm doing wrong, she began before adding, as an afterthought,
"Is transfiguration always this hard?"
