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?"


Cris watched carefully as Norah cast the spell. Her wand movement, a swirling counter clockwise. That was correct. Her incantation was correct too. She had done enough to create a snow cloud and a single snowflake before it began to hail. He remained silent at Norah ended the spell and then he smiled at her.

"Sometimes, some spells are harder to cast than others. Remember Professor Bellaire did say this one would be hard to cast. You did really good," Cris smiled encouragingly down at her.

"I did notice from your facial expression that you were either feeling frustrated or angry when you cast that spell. That may have affected your concentration. When you cast a spell, you need to clear your mind of emotions and thought, and just focus on the spell you are about to cast," Cris explained to Norah, how he was taught to cast spells.

"Close your eyes and try to empty your mind. Then picture a storm cloud producing snow. Keep focusing on that image as you try casting the spell again," Cris suggested to his young friend.

"Go ahead, try casting the spell again," he coaxed her.
