"Those of you who are still writing, you'll have more time, but I could use everyone's attention." Preston reached into the box, extracting a child's dog toy. Placing it on the desk, he unholstered his wand.

"We're going to learn two spells today. Or, rather, we'll learn another use for a spell that returning students already know, and then a new spell. But the first is important so that you can fix any mistakes you make."

"Untransfiguration reverts a transfigured item back to its previous form. Last term, students learned the Reverto, pronounced re-VER-toe, would revert an item to a previous natural state - like a butterfly to a caterpillar. The SAME incantation, with a slightly different emphasis, will undo a transfiguration. Like so."

Preston tapped the toy, transfiguring it into a vase, decorated with the images of little dogs. "Pronounce the incantation, re-ver-TOE, with a light flourish of your wand, concentration on the form you want the item to return to."

"Reverto!" Preston flourished his wand, and the vase shrunk back down and into a child's toy.

"Now, it's much easier to revert something you transfigured in the first place, so we're going to give you some practice reverting things you didn't. That is why I've asked you to bring a personal item. I will be transfiguring your items into something else. I want you to take note of the new properties of the item. Even without knowing what spell I used, you should be able to think about what kind of changes occurred. Take careful notes of those properties and then picture in your mind the item changing back, focusing on each specific property. Concentrate on that image."

Preston picked up the box again, just in case some wanted to change their item. "I don't expect the younger students to be successful immediately. The strength of the original spell has a lot to do with how easy untransfiguration is. Keep at it. Don't be surprised if you get it part of the way but not entirely. Older students, fifth year and above, this should be easier for you, so I would like you to try the spell nonverbally. The concentration for that, coupled with the concentration should provide more of a challenge."

Preston tucked the box under his arm. "I'm going to come around and transfigure your items once you are done with your initial notes. If you would like to pick a new item because your item is too personal or valuable, please do."

ooc: I will let you know what your item has been changed into, but I leave the details to you. It's ok (and expected) that your character may have trouble with the spell, especially if they are younger. Points are awarded for participation/effort, not necessarily success.

With a swift tap, the bracelet had become a clock.

Waiting for her response, Preston looked about the room to see who else was ready. "Who else? Questions?" [/color]

Iris listened to the professor talk, and she quickly scribbled down anything she'd need. Like the spell, and the pronounciation. Remembering that the pronounciation was different would be very important.

As the professor went around changing everyone's items. As he got to her, she watched as the rainbow beads were replaced for a plain pewter clock. Wow. Colourless, much?

Practicing the spell in her head as the professor went around transforming everone elses objects, too, She read through what she'd written, to focus on what her bracelet looked like to begin with.

Any questions? Iris wasn't sure if 'can we start now?' was a good question to ask.. So she just went back to practicing the spell under her breath before attempting to turn the clock back into the bracelet..... "Reverto... Re-ver-TOE... reverto..."
