A Prefect in Need of a Spell
Here I am, 30 minutes before The Feast and it's pouring rain. I need some spell to stop the rain.
So far, I've tried 'Dryuppo!' and 'Cloudbegoneium!' and even the greatly feared 'Rainoceasium!'...all to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I recall a short story (not the title or the author, though -- some English teacher, I) where it had been raing and raining and RAINING. The protagonist, a very young man, was subvocalizing ( as he had all of his life) "Rain, Rain, go away; come again another day." He came to the realization that the childhood chant HAD ACTUALLY WORKED, and that now truly was "another day." And here came all of those postponed rains from the past. (Fun thought, huh?)
