Be quite dramatic? Kiri was not good at dramatic. She stared hard at her wand as she repeated the motion again more forcefully, but it still wasn't quite as excessive as the professor's. She gave up. She'd have to try harder when it came to the actual transfiguration.
Which was, she thought worriedly, shaping up to be very difficult indeed. She was the older student in this pairing, so she would have to transform part of herself, and Lyra would watch and then perform the reverse spell.

A fox's ears or a fox's tail, then? The professor had pointed at his leg, so maybe just transforming the ears would be easier than somehow... growing a tail. So she would try the ears. Trying very hard to imagine a fox and, even more so, its ears, Kiri turned to Lyra. "Erm, alright, so I will try and transform my ears..." she said sceptically.
