"Sorry for dismal shield, my lack of enthusiam," he rambled and continued to apologize about this entire messy situation. Cordova liked snow. Ever since he was a little boy he would always go play in the snow with his mother, making snow men and throwing snow balls. "Mum,' he said quietly and twitched at the thought of his home and how uncomfortable it would be take another student attached at the arm.

He glanced at William and nodded at the same time adding something that sound like "hmpf". Twisting his wand through his fingers, he contemplated what he should do about "their" little situation. Without realizing how much taller he was than William, he lifted both of their attached arms closer to his face, forcing his partner to stand on his toes. "Alrighty then," he lowered their arms and pulled his chair closer to sit in it. "I'm going to try the Confrngo spell. I doubt it does anything or a lot but it's better than nothing. To be on the safe side," he added glancing up at William. "I'll count again and on three you say "Protego" you know," he paused hoping what he thought wasn't going to really come out. "Just in case something is chucked off of the chain/stone," he struggled with deciding what to call it. "Better me than you, agreed?"
William forced back the impending sigh that was threatening to escape from his mouth and nodded as he covered himself up awkwardly in his robes. The gusting wind was chilling him to the bone now and he suddenly leaned down, accidentally pulling Cordova with him.Holding his wand out he said "Incendio" and watched as a small burst of flame erupted from his wand, blowing wildly in the wind. Nodding, he then said "Protego!" as he flicked his wand towards the now burning fire. A shield protected the flames now and he looked up shrugging. "If we can't keep dry we can at least keep somewhat cool." He explained gravely as he stood back up.

He looked back at him, shocked now. "I don't want you getting hurt as well. I could try to project the shield to go around both of us, thus keeping us both protected but I'm not sure if that'll work." he said in a slightly apologetic voice. He nodded at Cordova though, waiting until he counted to three before muttering the shield charm again with force in his voice, "Protego!" the shield burst to life, covering him and blocking half the chain from hitting cordova. "Best I can do." He said, secretly wishing his mother was here with a hot cup of cocoa and a bowl of chicken soup.
