No big deal as plenty of his classmates had worked it out well enough without his two cents and now they were moving on.

Tempestas Horribilis

The spell work seemed east enough, the working in groups against each other made it complicated. The fourth year was debating his options as people started pairing off and into groups. “Anyone need a partner…or a third?” he asked finally, figuring a welcoming partner was safer than nearly forcing himself on people. They did tend to feel obligated to say yes when you asked.

Tina smiled to herself, pleased that her answer had been accepted. Ooh, so they could use the same spell to create rain, snow, or hail instead of needing a different spell for each type of weather? Cool! She couldn't wait to try it... maybe she'd have time to do all three types! She took a quick moment to jot down the spell information before watching Professor Darlington's demonstration with rapt attention. For one wild moment, she worried she was going to be the unlucky subject, and she took an automatic step back to stay out of the cloud's path. Even with a rain mac. she didn't fancy the idea of getting rained or snowed or hailed on in front of the whole class!

Tina blinked, frowning slightly at the directions. Well,
this class took an unexpected turn for the worse! Group work and (sort of) duelling... two of her least favorite things rolled into one activity. Just perfect. She looked around the area as her classmates began pairing off. Nope, she wasn't going to approach some random person or shout across the room asking if anyone needed a partner... way too much potential for uncertainty! She was going to wait for someone to come to her instead.

While she waited, she was going to do as much of this activity as she could by herself. "Tem-PES-tas hor-RIB-ih-lis, Tempestas Horribilis," Tina repeated the incantation.
That spell was a little harder to pronounce than the first one, but nothing she couldn't handle with a little practice.
She practiced the wand movement a couple of times too, and she was about to conjure a new cloud when she overheard somebody ask if anyone needed a partner. Her dark head whipped around in the direction of the sound, and she saw one of her housemates. He seemed like a nice, safe partner choice!

Tina nodded, smiling slightly as she approached him. "Sure," she said. "I'll work with you... if you want." Which she hoped he did, since he'd asked if anyone needed a partner. Otherwise, this was going to be embarrassing!
