She pictured it shrinking, the pendant going away, turning back to black as it did so, one solid stand. "ReverTO!" she said, wand in hand, making sure to emphasize the right syllable...
And nothing happened... Cool... not.
"Professor, can you show me the wand movement again? Just to be sure..." Of course, she didn't expect it to change, really. But just to be safe, she wanted to make sure she was doing it right. Preston approached the desk and crouched down so that his wand was at her eye level. "It's just a light flourish, like this." Preston made a small swish in the air from the bottom left to the upper right, almost like a check mark in the air.
"Now you try, just the wand movement." Quote:

The chain isn't that important, Professor, so I don't mind. It's not real so she trailed off. Ok, I'll take something from the box if you don't want to transform the chain. She reached into the box and pulled out a broken ink bottle and placed it on the desk. Nodding, Preston tapped the chain, transfiguring it into a length of ribbon. Quote:

Preston gave a small smile and waited for her response. Quote:

Once he got all that down, he waited for the professor to come by and transfigure his object. With a simple nod, Professor Kingsley transformed the boy's toy soldier into a tea kettle. SPOILER!!: Jessica94ear and the clock!bracelet Quote:

So, Iris looked at the clock, and thought about what the bracelet looked like to begin with.
Okay... So... Rainbow bracelet. Glass beads; of different sizes.
She put the parchment with the bracelets description in front of her, and the clock in front of it. Thinking deeply on what the clock really was, Iris raised her wand. Making the motions that the professor had made, she said the spell, "Reverto!"
Nothing.
the clock was still shiny. And it was still ticking.
Frowning, Iris concentrated on the appearance of the bracelet, "re-ver-TOE!" She said, sweeping her wand.
Still no changes.
OKAY! Geez, Iris ... Focus ... The clock is about three times the size of your bracelet, and its pewter, instead of glass rainbow beads. THINK GIRL!
"reverto!" She said, flourishing her wand in the same way that the professor did. Slowly, the clock began to shink a little, until it was about the size of the bracelet. Grinning to herself, picked it up for a moment. It was actually quite a pretty clock. BUT, she needed to get her bracelet back to how it should be.
Placing the clock!bracelet back down on the desk, she raised her wand again; this time, focusing on the face of the clock disapearing and the frame of the clock turning into the sting of the bracelet; and the numbers becoming the beads. "reverto!" She repeated, again with the wand movements.
She watched the clock as it slowly turned back to its original form. WOO! It worked! Iris picked up her bracelet and looked at it. Okay... Maybe she'd have to do the spell again. The beads, whilst colourful, were looking like pewter still, not glass...
And it was ticking.
O__O ...
Her bracelet was ticking like a clock.
Iris guessed that she should have remembered the element of sound when she was thinking about the clock changing back into the bracelet. Oops.
Lifting her wand again, Iris focused on the sound of the ticking to turn into the sound of nothing. Because bracelets were only meant to occasionally rattle. "reverto!" She said, concentrating on the change A LOT.
O______________O ...
Why was it still ticking?!
Looking up from the ticking bracelet, Iris rose her hand, "Er... Professor... I've managed to turn the clock back into my bracelet... but I can't get the ticking to dissapear, too... " Merlin, could you imagine if she was stuck with it! At least it's not as bad as the ticking crocodile in Peter Pan. hehehe. Preston approached, taking note of the situation. "First, excellent work on the form. What I want you to do is this. Close your eyes and listen to the ticking and then imagine it getting fainter and fainter until it disappears." Preston paused to allow the girl time to do that.
"Now, once you hear nothing in your mind, focus on the silence itself, not on the absence of ticking, and try again." SPOILER!!: others attempting with various levels of success - Kris, TeamHermioneGranger, destinyjazzhands, xiiWishiWasYours Quote:

She sighed trying again focusing on what her necklace looked like before the change, "Reverto." she tried again. Alex breathed deeply at the lack of reaction. "Reverto." she casted again flourishing her cherrywillow wand, excellent for defense and transfiguration, thinking of it making the change from dinner plate to her pendant. Alex patted herself on the back mentally. YES! she chanted mentally it changed back! She of course used her wand to make sure holding it to eye level. She smiled it worked! Quote:

'Revertoe!' said Maddie, tapping the ball. Hmmm - it almost worked. It was now a white gold chain with a pearl sized bouncy ball on the end. Close. Quote:

Thank Merlin for that! She was tired of looking at the ugly, and she knew whatever it was going to be transfigured into would not be as ugly as it's original form. Why would her grandmother think she would like that? Pffft. Grandmothers know nothing about gifts.
Destiny waited as Kingsley walked around the room changing everyone's items. Yes, yes, almost her turn..BAM! The butterfly brooch was gone and in it's place was a STUFFED SHEEP TOY! She wanted to pick it up and SQUEEZE it because it was so FLUFFY and cute, but refrained from doing so. She was in class after all. Picking up her quill instead, she took notes on what the item looked like now.
Now she needed to change the cute sheep into that ugly brooch again? She hoped she couldn't.
Putting down her quill, she picked up her wand and pointed it at the toy. Reverto. Reverto. She had done this last term, she could do it this term. "Sorry, sheep." Picturing the ugly brooch in her mind, she gave her wand a flourish, "Reverto!" She figured the brooch would be sitting there, infecting it's ugly on everything around, but it was not there! Sighing, she picked up the stuff toy..
..only now it was a stuffed butterfly. Still cuter than the brooch though. Quote:

'Don't forget, the textures are different, this feels soft like silk, yours is made of yarn,' Selena added mentally. She looked at the pillow. The pillow was missing the braids and the tassels her scarf had. "Reverto," Selena said as she pushed the image out of her mind and through her wand. She looked at the pillow. Still... not quite a scarf yet... though it was made out of yarn now... She liked the pillow more though... "Reverto," Selena said again. This time the pillow grew tassels, Selena wrinkled her nose, it might as well be a carpet... Selena pictured the scarf, the pillow. The pillow wasn't warm lie her scarf, the pattern was different. The pillow's striped pattern was vertical, her scarf's pattern was horizontal... Selena said it again. "Reverto," Selena said with a slight flourish of her wand. It had become back her scarf! What a pity,she didn't have a new pillow. Preston made his rounds once more, taking note of the various levels of success. "Keep at it! You're all doing quite well. If you've been successful and would like to try again, let me know and I will transfigure your item again."
ooc: we're gonna be on this step for a while to give multiple timezones a chance to play. So, feel free to use multiple posts to be successful and if you HAVE been successful and want to give it another go, lemme know.
