    I think our squid was hunted endlessly and had to continuously keep moving in order to stay alive untill one day a kind stranger came across the terrified squid. He saw how afraid the squid was of him because of how he was treated by his fellow wizards and promised to protect him. Which he did, anyone who tried to hurt of capture the squid the man defended him with magic and when he eventually manged to gain the squids trust, he moved him somewhere he could be free and safe to live. Which happened to be the hogwarts grounds. I would imagine this happened before hogwarts was built and when it was built, the giant squid saw all the wizards and witches and maybe he got a bit nervous and wanted to flee at first. But when he saw they meant him no harm and most of them were children he sought to protect them like he was protected.

    Hey folks, it's Larry Weatherman here with your daily weather broadcast. Whilst the temperature will be dropping overnight, the skies should remain clear - no rain or fog are expected, so if you do see any mists, stay clear, as there's likely some dementors nearby. Tomorrows national Quidditch league final seems to be set on a perfect day, with the winds keeping low but the temperature staying low enough to keep our players cool in the skies. They may see a little drizzle, but we know our teams, and I'm sure that won't stop them. Up in the northern parts of Scotland, there may be even more rain than normal, so please take care if you choose to use the weekend for garden de-gnoming.

    My invention is a small metal sphere called a Nubis Imperium (Latin for 'cloud control'). When it is turned on, the sphere unfolds into a rectangular control board, and creates what looks like a small cloud, which floats above the users head when in use, and is stored in the sphere when not. The rectangular control board has a series of symbols, such as clouds and raindrops, and when the witch or wizard touches their wand to one of the symbols, that weather begins to come from the cloud. The board can they be folded again and stored as a sphere until they wish to change the weather or stop using the cloud.

    I would suggest a spell that could turn any weather into sunshine. Say you have an important event coming up like a outdoor birthday party or a wedding and the weather is raining or even snowing. Well with this spell you would be able to change it to warm sunny weather. Name: Sunny Day Incantations : Sol Torem

    Graphic: https://postimg.cc/jLFtzx7M I suggest the Tornado spell, whose incantation is "Ventus cuniculum." It is a spell that instantly creates a tornado at the tip of the caster's wand. It starts smaller, though if you continue to focus on building up the spell, you can make it more significant with time. It may be useful to create a distraction or force items to be swept up by its wind, It can be cast by moving your wand downward, then gradually moving it up and diagonally in looping movements where the circles overlap.

    Sky Clearing Charm Imgur Link - Larger Version [1920 x 1920 px] Incantation: Caelum Clarum (Pronunciation: KAAY-lum-CLAA-RUM) Wand Movement: Triple, inward, clockwise spiral then a strong upward jab towards the sky. Purpose: On a rainy or cloudy day, this charm clears a portion of the sky above the caster’s head for a short period of time, and as the person walks ahead, the portion of the sky left behind them goes back to being as it was, and the portion currently above the witch/wizard’s head clears up. This spell requires a huge amount of concentration and willpower to hold, and most witches/wizards won’t be able to hold the spell for any longer than 20 minutes at a time without taking a break.

    Don't you wish that sometimes, you could control the weather? There's one spell that we know of, but not much else really. We can see that the research into this part of magic is actually quite limited. Suggest to the Ministry of Magic some sort of magical method (either a spell, potion or a magical item) that witches and wizards can use to get some semblance of control over the weather. Tell us about the weather-controlling magical measure in 100 words or more. Alternatively, you can create a graphic of it and explain it in at least 35 words. If you take the graphics option, please keep your image to 600x600 pixels and upload it to an image hosting website, then share the link. Post your submission below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of April to earn 10 rubies!

    A lot of people like intense, yet somewhat harmless weather conditions. Some like to watch or listen to thunderstorms, go north into the cold to watch northern lights, mountaineer in snow conditions or just like to stand in the rain. Solve the tents and trees puzzle below to see where people put up tents to observe mother nature in all her glory. Find all of the tents. Every tent is attached to exactly one tree, and every tree is attached to exactly one tent. The number of tents is the same as the number of trees. The clues tell you how many tents are in that row or column. A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically next to a tree. Tents are never next to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. A tree might be next to two tents but is only connected to one. Send your solution to me and one other organizer through private message (Subject: April Showers Task 11) by 11:59 pm HOL-time on 30th April to earn 10 rubies.

    Meteorologist: good evening folks, this is Riley Colett from wizarding wireless network. Here to bring you tomorrow's forecast. And it's not good news folks. For tomorrow quidditch match we can expect, dark skies, heavy rain and a bit of a breeze. It's going to be a wet one folk, make sure to keep yourself dry using the impervius charm. Good news is that temperatures should reach around 18 degrees. So wet but warm. More good news is the rain and wind should clear around late afternoon, to leave clear skies. Which is good news for all the people planing any celebration parties. And also for the shooting stars coming our way. Temperatures should go down to about 12 degrees so a mild night ahead of us. That's all folks, enjoy the rest of the evening.

    Hello! I'm Ivy Grey! When Harry, Ron and Hermione get stuck in Devil's Snare, Hermione's dialogue is my number one favourite! "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare... what did Professor Sprout say? -- it likes the dark and the damp---" "So light a fire!" Harry choked. "Yes -- of course -- but there's no wood!" Hermione cried, wringing her hands. "HAVE YOU GONE MAD?" Ron bellowed. "ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?" Said by Professor Albus Dumbledore, this line is a also a top favourite: "Second- to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."

    Meteorologist: Good afternoon, wizards and witches! We'll look at the weather forecast for the next three days. On Tuesday, there is a chance of rain totaling an inch and a half. The great news, however, is that we have gotten word that the Quidditch matchup between rivals Lancashire and Cork will continue as scheduled, rain or shine! On Wednesday, expect cloudy conditions, with parts of London being particularly foggy from noon to 8 PM due to the use of the fogging spell Nebulus to help conceal the important meeting discussed earlier on the Wizarding Wireless Network. Finally, on Thursday, you can expect clear skies, likely giving you a nice view of the shooting stars set to happen that night! This has been your three-day weather forecast. Have a good rest of your day!

    Reporter: Good evening, and welcome everyone, I'm James Roycewell and this is the Wizarding Wireless Network: Weather Prophecy. Now, let's have a look at what we can expect across the British Isles for tomorrow. We're in for a curious mix of conditions, folks. Areas in the north of Scotland should expect some lingering blizzards, with possible downpours later in the evening. Keep an umbrella and some Frostbite Wax handy if you're up that way. For our central regions, it appears a heavy rain and potentially a storm are brewing. These warm rain showers are said to possess restorative properties, so don't shy away from stepping outside and letting the healing showers make you feel better. So for those living up north or in the central regions, I suggest you plan your Quidditch matches, Broom racing competitions and open-roof parties accordingly. Meanwhile, down south in places like Cornwall and Devon, we're expecting a gloriously sunny day with a small possibility of drizzle. Just a heads-up for those attending important meetings or Ministry hearings! That's all for tonight, folks. For more detailed forecasts and localized weather warnings, stay tuned to the Wizarding Wireless Network. And remember, if you're ever caught in a particularly nasty downpour with no way of finding shelter, a simple Cheering Charm followed by Vermillious, can often do the trick!
