Sophia checked her watch. Oh crap, it was almost 8:16, she was so behind time. A swift wave of her wand cause to the door to shut itself then lock. There would certainly be no late comers in her class and she would be making no exception when the end of year game and people had fallen behind. Nope.
If everyone here could make the effort to get to class on time, it obviously could be done. One point for everyone and their effort!
Right, so the clouds were behaving better than she had expected them to. Not once did she have to charm them to get them going again or anything. That perhaps had a lot to do with how cold things had gotten around here. All the clouds were thriving...why if they didn't figure out why---right right she was off thoughts again...class time.
"Good morning everyone and welcome to another Transfiguration class! My mood is not so foul today, so the person who changes that will rue the moment they do." And that was a promise. Yep.
"Congratulations to everyone who managed to get their clouds working and for those who didn't..well your clouds seemed to want to work so they corrected themselves..." Quite odd but she'd investigate later.
"Now I plan to kick out any whiners, so for those who want you can take a seat on a stool. As you all can see, we have a garden setting here and by now you all know why. This place should be transformed into a beautiful ice garden. Now that we have the snow we can all move on to making the ice crystals or in this case, the ice flowers, which you will plant in the garden." She looked around the class for any confused faces.
"The spell we will be using today is Orchideous Stiriacus. What it will do is to conjure ice flowers from your wand which you will then plant in the garden. Now you all know that conjugation is the third branch of transfiguration right?" Her eyes narrowed at all of them. Or did she need to do a full blown lesson on conjugation because Merlin knew these kids didn't read.
"The wand movement for this spell is moving your wand in a semi circular motion in a clockwise direction. If you do the opposite you will end up creating a wreath. There will be no wreaths in my garden. If you have no questions...begin."
She said that like it was going to be on a test. The THIRD branch of transfiguration. A calm smile hung itself on Cutty's otherwise figuratively frozen face and never quite got to his eyes. Once Bellaire gave the ok, she didn't need to tell the young Slytherin twice. He held out his wand and tried the wand motion Bellaire had just described. "
Orchideous...Stiriacus. Stiriacus." Clockwise semi-circle.
"
Orchideous Stiriacus." He spoke the words and motioned his wand until the tip of his wand, for magic or climate, frosted at it's tip momentarily. Was that how it would happen? Would the flower slowly grow out of the tips of their wands or would it shoot more like other flower conjuring spells? "
Orchideous Stiriacus!" The incantation manifested in a puff of visible breath as his wand semi-circled about the frigid air. The tip of his Aspen was white with cold and at first appeared to be gaining and inch or two before it became apparent that a flower was shooting forth from it's end. It's petals translucent toward the tip and frosted at the base reminded Cutty of blown glass.
He brought the flower closer to his face and inspected it. What did it do? Maybe it was all for the sake of beauty.
