She continued pacing amongst the students, stopping every now and then to observe their handiwork. It was safe to say that some of them were naturals and disappointingly some of them …… weren’t. If they couldn’t even manage the simple conjuring of a cloud the next half of the lesson wasn’t going to fare well for them.
“Some of you could do with some more practice.” She said bluntly, returning to stand before the blackboard and facing the group. “But regrettably time isn’t on our side.” Otherwise some of them would no doubt be here all day. “Remember, visualisation and determination are key here. Picture the cloud you want to form before you say the incantation clearly.” Yes, she was looking at you Mr Anderson-Belfort. She’d heard rumours of class pranks involving potions….. had someone slipped the young Hufflepuff a Babbling Beverage?
With a few flicks of her wand, each and every cloud vanished in a puff, and off to the side of the gathered students appeared a clothing rack containing a number of bright yellow rain macs in varying sizes. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that there wasn’t going to be enough for quite everyone….
“I want you all to go and fetch yourself a rain mac,” she said, pointing in the direction of the clothing rack for those that were too busy day dreaming to notice. “And while you’re doing that, I have a question for you. What uses might magical folk have for weather related spells?”
OOC: This is where the fun is gonna start, guys! If you want to have your charrie miss out on a rain mac, that’s completely up to you. And Joyce wants you to come up with a reason magic folk might need weather spells. We’re gonna be moving on in another 24 hours-ish.
