I would already have you up under my arm- - - - - - - - - ► Transfiguration
James was sprinting to the class room. Cursed castle had too many floor with stair cases which didn't stay where they were put. He really really didn't want to be late! Not because he cared particularly for the lesson or the teacher - more because he was late because he'd been in a herbology detention and if he was going to get a Transfiguration detention for being in a herbology detention then the cycle would never end! Besides, he'd left a nice trail of muddy shoe prints behind him and knew that if he didn't sprint then the caretaker would be on him like a niffler on a sickle! And no one wanted that!
James finally burst through the door of the Transfiguration classroom to find the lesson had already begun, although barely. The professor had just instructed James' class to begin the task he had set. Flying to a stop, door slamming shut behind him (James winced - he wasn't meant to be quite that loud), bag swinging wildly with the momentum of his run, James stood in the doorway. "Sorry... Professor... Detention... Herbology... Mandrakes"

[/color] He puffed, "Lost track... Of time... Sorry!"[/color] James, still catching his breath made his way to his seat next to Kadie and studied the four lines on the board. Well, this would be an uninteresting lesson - they'd done this last year! Oh well, what could you do?! He plonked himself down on the seat, a small cloud of dried mud puffing around him on impact. He dropped his frayed and tatty bag to the floor and extracted his text book and wand from inside. On his desk, a recently released guinea fowl wondered round, looking a little baffled. "Hello!"[/color] He whispered out of the corner of his mouth to Kadie, pretending to study the board. "What the hell are we doing this again for?!"[/color] He mumbled to her, "Bloody ugly things aren't they? Aren't you? Oops!"[/color] This last question was directed towards the poor creature who had drawn the short straw of James' desk. James had given it a light poke with his wand as he asked the question and the creature's head had turned bright yellow. Uh... Better put that right then.

Kadie looked up as her best friend came into the classroom. He had already had a detention under his belt? She shuddered at the thought that he'd had to put up with mandrakes. Anything to do with herbology would not be a good detention. "Hey,"she whispered back to her best friend's greeting. She laughed at James' words about the bird, making it quiet laughter of course. And then she went to work on the spells, wanting to get it over with as soon as possible. It wasn't like she wanted to be one of the first ones to get it right to impress her teacher or anything. She never cared about impressing her teachers. But there was that competitive nerd side of her that wanted to be one of the best just because. Probably because her parents still thought she'd give up, come to her senses and come back to the muggle world full-time. The hell that was happening.
She swished her wand a couple of times before uttering the words, Numididae Verto. It took a couple of times to get it right. But since they'd already done it, it didn't take as many tries as it might have if they'd never done it before. It was mostly just review. After she'd done it right, she set about to work to change it back. A couple of wand swishes and then she uttered, Verto Numididae. It didn't take too much time to do that. But then she continued practicing anyway to make sure she had it.
Finally she sat down after putting it back in its cage, and waited for further instructions.

 doin it up, gettin er done, and having some fun
Giancarlo watched as some students strolled in late. He did not normally accept tardiness but this was the first day of classes and he knew that it was sometimes hard to find the right class and such. He decided to let it go with a warning and gave them a look as they walked in that said it all. They would know just by recieving that look that he was implying not to let it happen again. He started watching as the class performed the spell that he had put out for them. It was not an easy spell to perform but it had been taught last year so he figured that people would be able to remember at least a bit of it. I guess a lot happens in the summer considering not many of them did. He went up to the first person who actually ended up being one of the tardy students. He watched as the guinea pig splinched which was totally normal. It was the first show he had at it and splinching was bound to happen. His second and third time did not turn out much better as they splinched as well. He jotted some notes down on his clipboard and continued walking to his next student.
He watched as this student (another tardy one) did the same as the first. Splinching was in abundance and this was a lesser performance of what he thought his students would remember. He however did watch as she got a couple of tries correct and wrote them down. He moved on to the next set of students, the first who got it correct on all three tries, the second who was unsuccessful at the beginning because of a pronunciation mistake but got it perfect once it was fixed, the third who had some trouble at the start but corrected himself, and the fourth who followed suit.
He then noticed another latecomer and motioned for him to sit down as he ended the lesson. "Alright class, that is good for this lesson. For those who arrived late, please remember that starting next class you will not be given a free pass and will serve time with me at the end of that lesson."
[/color] He directly pointed to the three people that came in late. "For those who have not yet done so please put your guinea fowls back in their cage and on this desk. I will post your in class grades up soon."[/color] He then motioned to the board where he had wrote the homework down, "For homework please continue reading your textbook on this incantation as well as pages 80-86 which is our next set of spells. Also, write a reflection of how you thought this spell went and why you think cross-species transfiguration is of importance. Class dismissed"[/color] He motioned to the door with his wand which allowed it to unlock and open. He said goodbye and started packing up his things. He decided that was a pretty successful lesson. OOC:[/color] If you want to earn extra points for your "homework" please send me a 250 minimum IC reflection of how you thought you did today (how you can improve, what you need to remember etc.) and why you think cross species transfiguration is important. Any person who completes it will get 20 house points! This is not mandatory so no worries if you can't! PM that to me by Monday at 6pmEST and your marks will be up soon. If you do not hand an assignment in, you will get a default mark of an A for your homework assignment. Thanks for a great lesson and keep your eyes open for the next one! This lesson is over so please do not post again![/div] doin it up, gettin er done, and having some fun template by eliza @ shadowplay [/center] |

WITH MARC'S PERMISSION
oh i could hide ‘neath the wings OF THE BLUEBIRD AS SHE SINGS—the six o’clock alarm would never end[/center][/font] Scarlett wore a bright smile as the professor pointed her out and complimented her memory with ten house points for Gryffindor! She nodded and thanked him in a hushed tone as she turned her attention once more back to Charlie, her guinea fowl as she released it from it's cage and it walked back and forth on her desk...
Scarlett struggled to listen to the rest of her professor's lesson. She knew what they would have to do but she couldn't help but spend much of the rest of class paying more close attention to her fowl. After quite awhile Scarlett realized that most of her classmates had already completed the spell or were in the midst of casting it...
"Oh Charlie! We have to hurry, I promise this won't hurt too much!" she whispered to her guinea fowl. Recalling from the lesson, Scarlett held her wand firmly in her right hand and began to try and concentrate fully on the task at hand. She waved her wand back and forth over Charlie twice and then with a sweet tone spoke...
"Numididae Verto...," her voice sounded just slightly hesitant as Charlie was surrounded by a puff of magic and once appeared now with tiny little ears and a body full of fur, but still in the guinea fowl form...
"Oh Charlie! I'm so sorry...I can fix this! I promise" she cried in a hushed tone. She didn't want to hurt the little fowl too much more. Scarlett focused her mind and closed her eyes as she flicked her wand back and forth over Charlie, "VERTO NUMIDIDAE!" she commanded and quickly Charlie turned back to his full fledged self...
"NUMIDIDAE VERTO!" she then commanded after two more swift wand thrusts over Charlie and he became the most adorable little guinea pig, in perfect form! "Oh Charlie, look how cute you are!" she softly giggled and then quickly went to work switching him back and forth a couple of more times...
Class was almost over and as much as she loved her now new furry friend Scarlett had to get Charlie back to his old self and turn him back in. "Alright Charlie, one more time and no more pain!" she smiled as she nuzzled his nose and set him back down on her desk. Two quick wand swishes and a confident command of Verto Numididae and Charlie was back, feathers and all...
With a small frown Scarlett coaxed Charlie back into his cage and locked it tight. "Til we meet again Sir Charlie!" she gushed to her little friend. Gathering up her belongings Scarlett took mental notice of her homework assignment and reluctantly took Charlie back up to the collecting desk. She smiled to her professor and waved farewell to Charlie and his fowl friends.
