Attention being drawn back to the board, Kayne listened and watched carefully as the Professor did his demonstration for the spell that they'd be learning today. It was one that he had wanted to learn for a while too, so the boy was ecstatic knowing that he'd be able to finally transfigure something into a dragon. A small dragon, but it was still a dragon! Eying up the white one as it flew around the room before landing back on the desk at the front, Kayne cracked a grin.

Now, it was his turn to play. Pulling out his wand, Kayne wanted to try it right away. Going over the syllables quickly in his head, he made a slashing motion at the stone with his wand, while confidently saying "Draconifers!" Nothing happened. Not even a little puff of light came out of the wand. Growling a bit at the mistake, Kayne pondered over the object. Was it his concentration maybe? Focusing a bit more on the stone this time, the Mordrake boy repeated "Draconifers!"...still...nothing...he couldn't help but roll his eyes a bit. He was most likely making an absolute fool of himself.

Keeping his cool though, Kayne just relaxed his mind. Maybe, if he tried one of the objects that he predicted to be easier to transfigure, it would actually work? So, his focus then shifted to the one he thought would be the easiest to work with: the leaf. Taking a few seconds to steady his breathing, Kayne closed his starry, hazel eyes. Then, with the same slashing motion at the leaf this time, he said once more with confidence "Draconifers!" A flash of orange light emerged from his wand. Lo and behold, once Kayne's eyes fluttered back open, there was a small green dragon sitting there on his desk! "Yes!" He exclaimed, finally happy that the results were finally there. Third time's really are a charm apparently.

With the thought of the spell actually working on the leaf, Kayne came to the decision that he would try the ice cube next, hoping for the same results. He went through with the same process as before instead of rushing into it this time. First, steadying his breath. Then closing his eyes and putting his focus into transforming the ice. With another slashing motion, he opened them suddenly and stated with conviction in his voice "Draconifers!" And boom, just like magic (because it was magic), he marveled as the ice cube altered itself into a white dragon. This dragon then swiftly flew towards Kayne, and perched itself up on his shoulder. Letting out it's best little dragon roar, he laughed in amusement. "Awwww, aren't you the cutest thing." He said to it. To his surprise, it had made another little screech back to him and started nestling it's head against Kayne's cheek. This literally sent Kayne into cuteness overload. Cheeks turning now bright red, the boy couldn't handle the adorableness of the petite creature.

Eyes darting back and forth from the two dragons, Kayne said to them "It's time to give y'all your other sibling." Hopefully, that was at least. He didn't speak that hopefully part because Kayne wanted to seem confident with what he was doing after the first two times failed miserably. Turning back towards the stone, this was the moment he was waiting for. Taking a deep breath in, and slowly releasing it, Kayne put all of his concentration into this attempt. Wand in hand, a slashing motion was made. "Draconifers!!" The orange light trailed as the wand went from one side to the other, and the stone transformed. Watching as it seemingly became sculpted like a statue, until it reached it's end result of the last dragon. Kayne let out a sigh of relief, as he had finally done it.

For the most part, his predictions had seemed correct. At least for himself, that was. So, carefully putting the other dragon back down on his desk, Kayne wrote in his notes.

SPOILER!!: Notes Leaf: a- 1 pt v- N/A c- 1 pt w and z- unknown Ice Cube: a- 2 pts v- N/A c- 2 pts w and z- unknown Stone: a- 3 pts v- N/A c- 3 pts w and z- unknown Final conclusion: The leaf is the easiest to be subject to change, whereas the stone is the hardest. Testing the theory: First two attempts on the stone failed, possibly meaning that it was indeed the hardest to concentrate on. Then the attempts that followed were all successes, with that little nuance on the last one with the light actually trailing with the motion of the wand. The weight of the objects certainly played a part in the amount of concentration required. __________________ ... MISUNDERSTOOD ... DILIGENT ... SECRETIVE ...
