Trick question! The honest answer to the boy's second question was yes, but Lars was certain that if students knew that, they would go around trying to give each other rabbit ears or monkey feet or something. "When performed with perfect accuracy, the spell generally lasts until it is reversed," Professor Svensson said. "But I would not be surprised if, while learning the spell, it wears off before being reversed. And as for using the spell on other people, it is possible. But doing so would earn you a detention, at the very least. I must advise you against it."

"Well, you could transfigure your vocal chords. But I think--and correct me if I'm wrong, I don't know much about anatomy--it might also be necessary to transfigure your mouth or something, depending on how exactly the animal you wish to sound like creates its sound," Professor Svensson answered. Eh...he knew next to nothing about animal anatomy. But his answer sounded intelligent, he hoped. "Keep in mind that you would want to either be able to perform the reverse transfiguration nonverbally or have someone present who can transfigure your vocal chords and such back into that of a human."

As he took to strolling around the room, Professor Svensson paused when he overheard an incantation that was not quite right. "Ah--careful, young lady," he said. "After bestiar, you say what you're transfiguring from. If you're transfiguring your arm into a wing, you would say arm and not wing; the wing is all in your concentration."
