Septimus ran the incantation over and over, first in his head and then aloud to practice for casting while he waited for a response. Thankfully it wasn’t long before a housemate was coming towards him, answering his question. “Great!” the fourth year remarked with a polite smile. “I’m Septimus,” he added since it wasn’t like every Ravenclaw knew everyone else, even though she looked to be around the same age or just a year apart.

Perfecting by end of class…no pressure.

The best be getting to it then. “So we’re trying to control each other’s clouds to get the other wet…right,” he mused, checking he got the concept as he took out his wand. “Nubecula!” he cast, pointing up at the ceiling sky to create his own cloud again. Now to be at the ready for the results of this weather duel.

Tina was glad she found a partner when she did, especially after hearing the professor's words. Join in with anyone? No thanks! Sorry, Professor, but she wasn't going to set herself up for rejection. She blinked at the lost cause comment. Wow, that was... harsh. If she thought that, why even turn the activity into a duel? This wasn't DADA! Whatever, there was no point in complaining.

Tina returned Septimus's smile with a small one of her own. "Nice to meet you, Septimus," she said. Well, technically she'd seen him around classes and the common room, but she didn't know his name. "I'm Tina." She nodded in reply to what he said next. "Yeah, that's pretty much it " Needlessly overcomplicated activity, in her opinion! Before she could get started, someone else (Hanna) had asked to join their group. "Sure, that's fine with me," she said, casting a quick look at Septimus. She hoped he'd be okay with it too!

Time to get started then. Tina drew her own wand and pointed it high above her head. She already knew she could conjure a cloud, but this time she wanted to try conjuring a cloud in a specific shape. Probably best to start out with something simple, not too far removed from a regular cloud shape, something like... a bludger! In her mind's eye, Tina envisioned a fluffy, round cloud. "Nubecula!" she said, concentrating hard on the image. She looked up to see if it worked; the cloud was a bit lumpy, but she supposed it looked a little like a bludger if you squint. Oh well, she'd have more time to practice that later.

For now, she just wanted to get this stupid weather duel over with! Nothing against her partners. she just didn't like dueling. it was the kind of unpredictable activity that set her teeth on edge! "Ready?" she asked, giving her opponents (and herself) a minute to prepare before she cast her spell. She decided she would try conjuring snow first; hail seemed too dangerous, and most everybody was doing rain. With a look of intense concentration, she visualized the cold white crystals gently falling from Septimus's cloud. She aimed her wand with a careful flick of the wrist and cast, "Tempestas Horribilus!' Did that work? She was almost sure she saw a light dusting of snowflakes begin to fall.
