Well, it might have been a little obvious what they'd be doing. Mannequins + rubbish bags = .... Okay, maybe not so obvious to some.
Isabelle looked from child to child as they provided an an answer, some of them not quite what she was expecting. Quote:

"Hmmm..." she thought over Professor Magnus' question about the mannequins. "Well, it would only make sense that we learned how to clothe them, since they're mannequins right?" she thought. She raised her hand to offer her idea.
Once called on she said, "Professor, are we going to change the rubbish bag into robes?" She shifted her eyes to see if anyone in the room was laughing at her answer. She knew it wasn't very creative. "So that, if we tear ours or outgrow them...we could get new ones?" That sounded practical enough to her, though she supposed it could put quite a few shops out of business.
She sucked in a deep breath of air and stretched her arms back onto her desk. Speaking in front of class always made her a bit nervous.
"Not quite robes, but you're very close actually," she smiled. Quote:

Ari asked, thinking back to her Astronomy lesson....it was a reasonable guess. O__o
A rocket? "A rocket? No, no, we're not. No." Quote:

She heard Theo offer the answer about transfiguring their rubbish bag into clothes- it seemed plausible. It was very similar to what she was thinking. But the Gryffindor had a slightly different idea in mind. "Are we transfiguring the mannequin into rubbish? So that there would be.. rubbish.. in the.. rubbish bag?" That's what rubbish bags were for, right?
Right?  Nevermind, Theo's answer was much more intelligent-sounding and creative than hers. "It's always best to try and avoid turning things INTO rubbish, my dear. The world is full of enough of that already." Which was Isabelle's way of saying no. Quote:

Belle knew it was way out there but she wanted to be creative :3 Clones and different time periods. "It would be extremely interesting, I grant you. But not what we'll be doing today," Issy grinned.

The second-year paused letting her imagination unleashed ;mannequins , students and transfiguration. Hmmm…..
Finally ,Cassia raised her hand and spoke, "Professor, will we be dressing the mannequins like someone from the staff or even the governors who're in the castle?" You know considering there were many new people this term. "And then we'll guess who each mannequin is dressed like?" Because that would be a very interesting and fun game….lesson. And helpful too. The twelve-years old rubbed her hands excitedly assuming that her answer was right though the professor hasn't answered yet.But she so hoped for something fun! She sat on the edge of her seat eager for the Professor to answer. "Not quite, no." Because frankly she wasn't sure what any of the Governors would think if they happened to enter the classroom and see a clone of themselves. Might not go down very well. Quote:

"Professor we are going to transfigure them to real people." and then set them on fire...she said with a raised hand. Really she knew that her answer was far from true and logically they probably were going to change the rubbish bag on them into something fabulous! "The mannequins themselves are not actually going to be....participating in the spell." Not if she could help it, but there were a few young ones in class so who knew whether something would melt.

She had to admit that she found the mannequins a little odd and well...quite frankly a little creepy but the woman obviously knew what she was doing so even if these freaky, over-sized dolls somehow magically appeared in her dreams tonight it would be okay because it would mean that she had learnt something valuable today; now wasn't that what school was about? Cringe.
Her eyes glanced up at the one that was by her desk. Quit staring at me.
...It was still doing it....
O____O
She turned her attention to the Professor once more and heard her give her little explanation for trying to spook her out of ever attending another Transfiguration class. She snuck a glance over at the over-sized doll again and found that she was still staring at her. Prying her eyes away she turned to face the Professor once more. "Does it have anything to do with making this doll any less creepy?" Mannequin...doll...same thing really. Then people wondered why as a toddler Lex never liked those things.
Alexa would wait for a reply before writing her name on the thing and consequently owning up to it. Isabelle put her head down and tried to not let the Gryffindor see her amused smile. She had to admit the mannequins were not the prettiest things you'd ever laid eyes on, but... "Not really no," she said, composing herself, looking back up and shaking her head. Quote:

"Professor you want to open up a clothes shop and we are going to be the one's to dress the Mannequin?" Laura thought that was a good idea, it would actually be a fun one as well. "Yes and no," Issy replied. She'd let Laura figure out which went with which suggestion. Quote:

He whispered in jest to his lifeless partner. He reached up and scratched his name onto the name plate across its chest:
What could they possibly be doing today? He was completely stumped. "Are we designing an eco-friendly new uniform, professor?" He said with a slight grin. Wrong, but it was better than sitting in silence.
He was looking forward to his O.W.L. year in Transfiguration. He wanted that Outstanding grade, that's for sure. He settled into his chair more comfortably while his peers gave their own answers. "Not quite, but we're getting closer." Quote:

At first he wondered if they would transfigure the mannequin into a likeness of themselves. But thought that was to advanced for the first class. Then he got a better idea.
"Professor, are we going to practice CPR, because you need mannequins for that too"
He was still wondering why the mannequin had trash bags on them. Or not, as it turned out. "We'd need ones with heads to be able to do that though, Mister Barrington." And these ones were without them. Quote:
Originally Posted by Poolicious Messer eyes still glued to his mannequin. Wondering what they'll do with it. He took out his quill and wrote down his name on the plate and hung it around his mannequin. Poor mannequin, it has to wear rubbish bag but at least its wearing something, no?
The third year snapped his attention back to Professor Magnus and her question. He raised his hand up in the air. "Are we going to learn to transfigure our mannequin so they will look like us, Professor?" After all the mannequin was wearing name tag with their name on it. "Noooo, not today." She was....sorry? A couple of them seemed to want clones of themselves. Weird children. SPOILER!!: Correctamundo people Quote:
Originally Posted by verbain Theo looked to study the mannequin closer, once again. Yes.... they were only used for one thing really and that was fashion.
He stroked his imaginary beard and nodded.
Okay, he had it. "Are we transfiguring those rubbish bags into clothes?" And maybe even designing their own? Theo would maybe design a summer version of quidditch robes. A pair of shorts, you know? Gets a bit sweaty up on that pitch sometimes... Just a thought. Quote:
Originally Posted by Bazinga Minerva made sure that her name was on the plate as she listened to Professor Magnus and she just finished when she felt a smile cross her lips and a thought crossed her mind. Were they learning a spell that she had been hoping to come across for four years. This excited Minerva to know end at the thought of finally getting to use the spell that she had wished she knew to use on Harvey a few times. She pictured putting him in a dress when he irritated her with his cluelessness.
Minerva put her hand up, "Professor Magnus could we possibly be learning how to do a spell that will change things into clothes?" she looked at the bag and thought about how fun it would be to learn a spell that could change clothes. Change bags into clothes, maybe even clothes into other clothes. This could be the best spell ever if she was right.. well maybe second best. Her hair changing spell from first term was still her favorite. Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity Gideon turned his full attention back to Professor Magnus once she began class.

They did have a purpose...and noticing the name plate around its neck as well as those of others, realized that he must have missed the step of adding their names.
Now as for the purpose for the class only one idea came to mind so raising his hand, Gideon prepared to answer her question. "Are we learning spells that have to do with transfiguring clothing items? Perhaps various types over the course of the term, even to go along with the different seasons." It made sense to him especially given the nature of what mannequins were usually used for. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sierra eyed her mannequin out of the corner of her eyes. It was still creepy, regardless of whether or not Magnus had intentionally put it there for the lesson. It reminded her of Inferi, and...well, that was creepy. Then add the fact that it was wearing a garbage bag, and...it was just an odd site to look at.
It was obvious what they'd be doing today. Or, at least she thought it was. She raised her hand. "Are we transfiguring the garbage bag into different types of clothes?" she asked. Just what she always wanted to wear--a garbage bag. She lowered her hand then looked at the professor, waiting for her word one way or the other. Quote:
Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Snitch...of course. Wizarding expressions often included Quidditch references in them....but those sorts of things just made the Gryffindor itch and get nervous.

Kurumi was able to shrug her shoulders and open her mouth as if she were about to speak when Professor Magnus began the lesson...and told them to write their names on the nameplates around the mannequin's neck. Okay...THAT was creepy... although the presence of the trash bag on them sort of gave Kurumi an indication as to what they were going to be doing.
Which was precisely what was asked of Professor Magnus as well. Only not just for this lesson...but for the entire term. Kurumi furrowed her brow and looked back at the mannequin before glancing back at Professor Magnus she would write her name on the nameplate later. So...perhaps shirts or some sort of top today? Pants or bottoms next lesson? "Will we be learning how to transfigure and design clothing this term?" Kurumi asked as she raised her hand. "With...today's lesson focusing on how to transfigure a top of some sort?"
Redesign Hogwarts uniforms perhaps? Not that Kurumi had ANY real fashion sense as the fashion seminar had proved. Quote:

"We'll be transfiguring the rubbish bags into various items of clothing throughout the term until they are fully dressed?" she ventured. That would make it a long-term project, after all - say a hat today, a dress the following lesson, followed by shoes. Or something.
Vee could just picture her mannequin in a straw hat. She loved straw hats. Quote:

Originally Posted by Cassirin Vivi considered her mannequin thoughtfully as she created her name plate and hung it around the neck of the thing. It did have a sort of creepy vibe, and the trash bag was very unflattering. Not that a mannequin was in much of a position to fuss about how it was dressed.
Her classmates had good ideas - clothing, waterproofed rain gear, even rubbish. Her own ideas weren't very clever in comparison, but Vivi raised her hand anyway. "T-shirts, professor. Customized." Quote:

Aaaand question time! The badger's hand was in the air before she spoke up. "We'll be working on transfiguring things - like, anythiiiing! - into clothes?" If it was a term long project and all, they would have time to practice on all sorts of material, right? "And today we might start off with... rubbish bags." Sounded logic enough. "Turning them into a shirt." T-shirt, blouse, whateveeeeer, any kind of top! Maybe... or maybe not. Maybe just a raincoat like some were saying? Maybe... a random jacket?
OR MAYBEEEE whatever they wanted! Like a dress! Or a skirt! An overcoat! Sophie went on thinking about the new spell they were about to learn as her classmates gave their own answers. Quote:
Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 Following the Professor's instructions, Alex wrote her name and house on her mannequin's name plate. Adjusting it carefully around the mannequin's neck, she thought about the Professor's question. Alex didn't have ANY idea what the class would be doing today. Raising her hand, she decided to take a wild guess. "Professor, are we going to transform this trash bag into some kind of outfit that we can wear later to a dance or in a fashion show?" Quote:
Originally Posted by lazykitty Emmanuelle hadn't even noticed the plaque thingy they were supposed to have written their names on when she sat down for class. In fact, she didn't notice until the professor brought them up. Whoops. She quickly jotted said info down and put the plaque in the appropriate place.
Thinking about the question asked, there was only one answer that made sense to Em. Clothing. "We're going to be learning how to transfigure clothes," she said, her hand in the air. Obviously. They were surrounded by mannequins wearing trashbags. Quote:
Originally Posted by FireboltAvis88 Alyssa thought for awhile before raising her hand.
"Professor could we be transfiguring that plastic bag into clothes but not just regular clothes? Clothes that are made of plastic, but of course not transparent or else nobody would dare to wear them. "
Alyssa thought for awhile before adding. "Hey maybe like a rain coat or like those clothes made out of recycled plastic bags." Quote:

Then he quickly raised his hand. "Professor, are we going to transfigure them into clothing?'' It was the only thing he could think of. But who knew. Quote:
Originally Posted by hjhm Juliet is still staring at the mannequin. And according to professor Magnus, each of them has a mannequin on their own. Hence, why they needed to put their names on the name plate. Speaking of which, Juliet should put her own name as well. Juliet then took out her quill and started scribbling on to the name plate
Now that she's done, her eyes glanced over to the professor and then back at the mannequin. What will they be doing with this? Juliet has no idea on that one but the fact that it is a bare mannequin and this is transfiguration class.... Juliet could try guessing.
Raising her hand to make her guess "Are we going to transfigure clothes.... perhaps?" it could happen.

As he settled back into his seat he blinked at the Professor's question, then eyed the garbage bags draped around the dummy next to him. Its a garbage bag... made of plastic Up goes the hand "Professor are we transfiguring them into raincoats?..." wait she said something about the entire term "... or outerwear appropriate for the season?" Quote:
Originally Posted by DancingwithRainbows Angel had no clue what was going on but following the instruction she wrote her name around the neck of the mannequin hoping that in whatever she did next, she wouldn't look a complete fool. So because she had a feeling that sooner or later she'd actually have to answer the question she figured she might as well have a go... though she didn't even know what was normal for transfiguration... maybe she shouldn't have fallen asleep while Andrew was ranting...
"Um... something to do with fashion? Like are we designing our own clothes or... yeah?" oh gosh she wanted to crawl out of the classroom smiling she looked confidently as if she'd never stumbled over her words. "Could we make them to go shopping? Like muggle clothes instead of normal wizarding clothes?"
'Play it cool Annie' she thought to herself glumly. Quote:
Originally Posted by Tegz West thought that sounded like a good bet.

Pullin out her wand, she gave it a little flick and watched as her name appeared on it.

7th year Hufflepuff
Looking at the rubbish bag, she thought about what the could be doing. Raising her hand, she hazzared a guess. “Are we transfiguring them into rain jackets?” The bags would already sort of keep rain off, but a rain jacket would work better, and look less silly.
Bada bing. Bada boom.
In other words, yes. These kids were quite right. "Clothes. Yes. You are all right. Which is why I said you were almost correct with robes. It will be more separates than anything though," Issy smiled at the couple of them that were SO close. "Some of you came up with different ideas for tops - t-shirts, shirts etcetera. And the answer is yes to all of that. Depending on your skill level you could even attempt to make a raincoat if you wished," Issy said, nodding over at West, Emmaleigh and Vickers. "Basically the spell you will be learning today will change anything, as Miss Campbell suggested, in our case rubbish bags, into a piece of clothing for your upper body." Isabelle gestured to her from her shoulder down to her waist, in case any of them were unsure. "And as Prefect Hollingberry rightly guessed, my plan is for you all to learn a new spell each lesson, and over the course of the term create a full outfit for yourselves." Simple, right? They'd get to be fashion designers. "Now, do any of you have a question before we move on to the spell?" |
