She turned in a complete circle once to get a feeling for the ear's listening capabilities, then looked at Lyra, who had a look of amazement on her face.

"Well, I don't know how a fox hears, really," she said. "But it's, er, different now. It's difficult to put into words, I think." This was raising fairly complex metaphysical issues, in fact! How did a fox experience its own sense of hearing? Or any sense, for that matter. Kiri's brain was still human, after all. She waited patiently as Lyra pointed her wand at her and said the counter-spell. Her ear became very warm for a moment, and she felt an odd tickling feeling as the hairs disappeared, but when she raised her hand and touched it, her ear was back to normal.

Her hearing was, too, apparently. It seemed to have lost clarity and range in comparison to the fox's ear. What an interesting experience.
She smiled at Lyra. "You look so excited, why don't you give it a try?" she said kindly. "I'm... not sure though if it will work, I think we're both a bit too young for this."

Lyra beamed broadly when she heard she could try next. ´Finally, my moment of glory! victory! and uhm... indestructable fox ears! woohoo´ Lyra giggled at her own thoughts for a second and then closed her eyes, concentrating on a fox. Frowning a bit, she bent her head low her eyes still closed and the shape of a fox appeared in her mind. ´Ok now just focus on the ears, you don´t want to transform into a whole fox, atleast not now´ Lyra giggled again knowing that she had to stop herself from it otherwise it won´t work, concentration was the key at Transfiguration. Slowly but clearly she saw fox ears in her mind. Then, like a knight raising a sword, she held her wand up and pointed it at her ears, eyes opening now she said " Bestiar ears!" Lyra didn´t feel anything. Her ears weren´t fury and neither could she hear better than she normally did. Sighing she knew she hadn´t accomplished her *mission*. Feeling a bit dissapointed in her lack of magical abilities. She tried again, raising her wand to her ears again she said, "Bestiar ears!" . Now, she did feel something, it was like someone had pinched her ears but as quickly as it came it vanished too. Lyra looked up at Kiri, dissapointment and a bit of anger written on her face. " I guess i´m too young to learn this" She said lowering her wand down and sighing deeply.
