When the coast was clear and Shaw felt reasonably comfortable enough to rejoin his class, he stood and crept out. "So I guess you all see the difference? It's all transfiguration, but all very different. It all takes a different set of skills, different mindset, and different array of items depending on what you're up to."

"Your task today wasn't to make up new spells. You're all about 12 years old or so and Shaw knows you don't know. But it's important to know where spells come from, how they originate. Transfiguration is some of the hardest magic out there and if you don't get them there basics, you won't ever get it. Like Josh and Team Shaw. They GOT it."

Shaw was proud of Team Shaw.

"Some of you might have achieved some of them there magic words though. We might at least get half results, which is half better than no results."

Without further ado, Shaw whipped his wand out and shed his alligator cloak once again. He cast a loud "Verto Canis" at the fallen cloak.

Though the cloak didn't change forms at all, it HAD sprung to life. The cloak barked and yelped and started "jumping" on students that had sat at the front of the room.
