Then the world would be a desert.

It can be the sort of summer where you occasionally get light rain at a convenient hour, say between a couple of hours after sunset and before sunrise.

And miss out on having fun in the snow?

Yes.

You're just not a snow-person. If you hate the snow so much, you could always go south for the winter. Like the birds.

That seems a great deal of effort compared to the weather just doing what I want. Snow is fine aesthetically, I suppose, but why can't it also be warm?

You just want to control everything; the weather, the temperature, the water. That's not really the weather's fault, though.

Are you suggesting that it would be nicer to have a snow fight, if the snow felt warm? And you'd do it? Because I have my wand right here and we could use Aguamenti. We could have a water fight, right here.

I don't know... I think it'll still be too dry to sustain a civilization. I've read that both India and Greece are struggling with these very dry summers...

Warm and dry.

Summer on the plains and winter in the mountains, then; the snow run off will keep everything green and fertile.

But then it's not summer all the time and everywhere.

Spoilsport.

It's mountain summer. Still snow, but less than winter and more melting and feeding rivers and water tables.

And I feel the world would be a much better place if I did control everything--save for the sheer and unrelenting effort that would take.

Not sure that works but fair enough.

Have you always hated joy?

Dude, I've lost the majority of my memories so I don't even know myself.

Mmm, so the reason why we're not all bowing down to you, is because you're lazy? Where's your ambition? You could hand more of the daily boring stuff over to underlings and just concern yourself with the bigger picture.

And that bigger picture should definitely have me chasing you with water.

If you don’t remember anything then who you are now is who you are intrinsically: a fun-killer by your very nature.

Gee thanks. I may also explode into a big fire ball at any time so i got that going for me too.

If I could rely on minions to do their jobs properly, I wouldn’t need to take over in the first place. And you chasing me with water would seem to end with me getting wet, and what’s in that for me? Much better the other way around, I should think. Hypothetically. In the big picture.

...metaphorically or literally?

Literally. [With a little bit of concentration he conjures flames down his arms.]

Does that hurt? You don’t appear generally flammable. Why fear exploding?

It doesn't hurt... but it's quite warm. The problem arises when I start losing control. That's when Big Fiery Ball may be a risk.
