Kurumi walked over to Nessie and administered a Hot Air Charm to the Hufflepuff to dry her robes before heading back over to her own cloud to practice some more when she noticed...of course...West.

WELL HE WOULD GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME thanks to the professor's help.
He looked all determined.
He was FOCUSED.
And a little mad that he had got it wrong when apparently getting it right and being awesome at charms got you points and gold stars. He wanted a gold star!
SO, focus. He was focused.
"Protego Caelum!" He tried the wand movement again, like how the professor had shown....
.... but he got so caught up in getting the wand movement right that, you guessed it, kid got rained on.
So instead of going back to her rain cloud like she had intended to, Kurumi took a little side trip over to the Slytherin and waved her wand at him. "
West, you want a Hot Air Charm too? Might help you focus a bit more if you are not soaking wet," she offered. His choice though, of course. She wasn't going to force him to dry off.
Kurumi glanced up at his rain cloud again and then back at the drenched snake. His wand movement hadn't seemed far off, so Kurumi wasn't entirely sure what had gone wrong besides, well, West did seem to have a hard time focusing on any one thing at a time. That much was obvious with the questions he asked in lessons.
