Was he about to do some practicing from earlier years, or perhaps try something more challenging?
Considering the body weight bit of the basic Transfig spellwork formula, Cutty brought both of his feet closer together and lifted at the heels in a quick and almost dancer-like motion. They made a soft tap as they hit the floor. It seemed to be the most variable factor of the formula at times as his height had changed so dramatically over the summer. He stretched his duelists wand out and conjured a full-length mirror so that he could see what he'd done once he'd done it.
This was the one place he could've done it in a complete manner. There were people here that could and would if they realized it, change him back if he could not do so himself. Or in any case, he thought he could adapt to his new situation. He recalled the Egyptian spell and started at his feet, which were at once too small to support him and Cutty fell over forward. He inhaled deeply, determined not to break his concentration and have to start again. He continued the cast until he was about 1/4th of his original size and covered with russet fur. His wand landed onto the floor with a clattering sound as he no longer had the dexterity to hold it and he lept over toward the mirror he had conjured to have a look. Unlike the recent times he'd done it before, which had to be done in bits and pieces, this was a full and complete fox. He didn't care that the fur on the brushy tail was far too long in places or that one of the forepaws was larger than the others. His aim was not always for perfection, but for end game.
Human Cutty would've concealed his excitement, but with his animal emotions his four skinny legs bent and lowered his body as he darted about the room, tail wagging and little chortling squeaks coming from him. He sounded like a happy kazoo.
