Then the necklace turned in color... not black.. perhaps... but less silvery..
She tried again, "Reverto!"
Now it truly was black! Yay! Preston nodded, pleased with her progress and continued on. Quote:

He picked up the wand touched it to the doorknob and closed his eyes tightly…”revirto!” Timothy whipped his wand around and slammed it against the doorknob. When he opened his eyes however….it had stayed very much a doorknob but had now a clocks face upon the handle….ticking away fervently. Yet not a pocket watch.
Timothy was crushed…failure was not an option Continuing to make his way around the room, Preston observed the young man's efforts before moving on. Quote:

It was for a dog, for it was in the shape of a bone. She bit her lower lip. 'Study these properties, then then about your warm fuzzy scarf,' Selena thought. "Reverto!" Selena said with a wand flourish. It was now green and silver. Selena sighed. Better than red and pink at least. He watched as she struggled a bit, which was to be expected, even with her second. "You're doing well. Just keep at it." Quote:

And then class started, so she quickly took out her quill and ink bottle, ready to take notes.
But Merlin, she was so slow on note-taking today. Maybe it was her hand's way of protesting all those notes she'd taken in the other classes, particularly Muggle Studies. Well her hand needed to get over it! She had notes to take!
She would have liked to participate in the discussion, but she was busy jotting down what was said during that time (mostly to protest her hand's protest), so she had no time to say anything. And then there were more actual notes to be taken on the board, so she wrote those down, and her hand was cramping slightly by that point, so she paused for a begin writing down the properties of her bouncy ball personal item. But then the professor wanted their attention again so she set her quill down, secretly glad for an excuse to stop writing, and watched his demonstration. Then she quickly finished writing down the properties of her item:
And finally she was done writing, at least for the moment. She raised her hand so that the professor would know she was ready for him to transfigure her object.
Noticing the girl's raised hand, Professor Kingsley smiled. With a tap, her bouncy ball had become a snowglobe. Quote:

Reverto! she said, but nothing happened. The ribbon remained as it was. Lysandra just looked at it, somewhat dissapointed, but knowing it wouldnt have worked the first time she tried it. She pointed the tip of her wand back at the ribbon and tried again.
Reverto! she said again, but a little louder and yet again, nothing happened. What am I doing wrong? she asked herself. Maybe I'm flourishing too much. She thought about it again. Or maybe I'm not thinking of the object it was before! she figured out. Once more, she pointed her wand at the ribbon and took a deep breath. She concentrated on the broken bottle she pulled from the box and concentrated on transforming the ribbon back to that item. Reverto! she said, flourishing her wand lightly while continuing to concentrate on the broken ink bottle.
The ribbon shimmered and started to turn black, but the ends turned into broken bottle ends while the middle remained as a ribbon. Then it returned to being a ribbon. Lysandra smiled. Well, it's a start. she thought. With a nod, Professor Kingsley checked in on the girl. "You're letting go of your concentration just a little too early," he said as he passed her desk. "But you're doing well." Quote:

"Ommm yesshir, shorry sir," the boy tried to swallow, nod and speak at the same time. Worked out pretty well. "I'll just leave the others in this pretty little box here. They are for you, by the way, we just made 'em fresh in Charms."
Hopefully he'd accept the gift of cupcakes cuz uh, that was half the homework assignment right there. And who didn't like #cupcakes, right?!
Fletcher tapped his quill thoughfully on his parchment and listened to the professor talk. All right so he had to describe his cupcake.... easy.....
Once he had the description of his beautiful cupcake all written down, Fletcher calmly raised his hand and waited for the professor to come transfigure it. Mmmm mmmm the poor cupcake, getting transfigured and all. Good thing he still had a half-dozen fresh ones that wouldn't suffer the same fate sitting in that box to the side....
Preston approached the young man with the cupcakes. "Mister Fletcher," he said with a nod. "Remember, I'd like you to try the spell nonverbally first." With a tap, the cupcake became a pygmy puff.
Certainly not edible. Quote:

With the image in her mind, she pointed her wand at the collar.
"Re-ver-TOE!"
Sky opened her eyes, and, frustratingly enough, the only thing that apperaed was the silver charm, now clinging to the red leather of the collar. Oh, great, she thought. Okay. One more go!
"RE-VER-TOE!"
Sky opened one eye warily, and was releived to see her bracelet. But where the flippin' fudge was the charm? Preston stood near the first year. He seemed to recall that it had been a charm bracelet. "Try the spell again with some more concentration." Quote:

As Professor Kingsley said this, Iris wondered if by 'the intentions behind the objects' were intentional. Did he, like, make their belongings into certain objects for a reason? There was a lot of students, though... He couldn't possibly have managed to have come up with something particular for all of them. "Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks, Professor Kingsley."
Quickling picking up her quill, Iris made a few more notes about the whole concentration thing; just incase she'd need them later on. Preston nodded. "Would you like to try again? You don't have to. You can simply work on your notes, if you'd like." Quote:

"I can't seem to focus, that's all. Not bored." She averted her eyes to the frisbee on the desk, picking it up with her free hand. "Its a little harder than I thought it would be. Changing it back." Professor Kingsley crouched down. "I need you to at least try the spell, ok? It might give you something else to focus on?" He hesitated, before adding, "If... if it's something you need to talk to someone about, see me after class." Quote:

She watched as the small saucer had changed back into her locket. Holding it, she smiled and watched the rest of the class do there spells. Preston nodded in Miss Waters' direction. Good. They were getting it. Quote:

Picking up her item, she looked at it closely and started to write down what was need in her dainty handwriting.
Setting it back down on her desk, she raised her hand. She was ready for the bracelet to be transfigured and try her hand at turning it back. Stepping up quickly when he saw her hand, Professor Kingsley transfigured the bracelet into a strand of (fake) pearls. Quote:

After writing down his description he waited for the Professor to come around and transfigure it. Walking over quickly, Preston soon transfigured the scarf into a neck tie. Quote:

Snickering as the Professor 'tutted' Evelyn, she propped her stuffed butterfly on her desk. Perhaps if it was sitting up straight the reverto spell would work better. She thought about the brooch in all it's ugly glory and flourished her wand. "Reverto!!" she said a little louder than last time. She leaned in close and it looked like it was going to transfigure back into the brooch! The gems started to show and it was shrinking!
Shrink.
Shrink.
Shriiiiiink.
And then it stopped.
Blinking a few times, she picked up the brooch. It seemed like it was back to normal! Every gem was in place, and the missing one was still missing. The size seemed right, as did the colors.
Except..
..it was still FLUFFY! "Keep at it, Miss Shepard, you are doing quite well!" Professor Kingsley gave her a quick nod, making note of her excellent progress. Quote:

Now to wait for the professor to transfigure it into something else. Making his way to another Slytherin, Professor Kingsley tapped the hairclip, turning it into a pair of scissors.
----
Turning, he faced the class again. "You are continuing to do quite excellently. Remember, fifth years and old, try it nonverbally, first. Please, raise your hand if you have any questions or need help!"
ooc: PM me if you need anything, or if you can't find what I transfigured your item into. There have been a lot of posts.
