Mmmmmmmkayy.

A tea kettle. Yush.

Jimbo lifted his quill and examined the kettle as he wrote.

Otayyy.

So, now to TRANSFIGURATE!
Jimbo put his quill down and took out his wand. He held it pointed to the tea kettle and concentrated on turning it back into the tiny little toy soldier he had brought in. He pictured the soldier's tiny-ness and green-ness and soldier-ness as he moved his wand the right way and said, "Reverto!"

He was looking at a tea kettle.
Okay...
Again.

He moved his wand again as he pictured the toy soldier. "Re-VERT-oe!"
Nothing. Damn. He thought about what he might have done wrong while he was casting. Maybe the wrong wand movement? No, no, he did that right. He was sure of it. Sighing, he managed to overhear the conversation Iris was having with the Professor. She seemed to be having more success than him so he payed attention as she cast her spell.

Ah...he was pronouncing it wrong. That explains it. He turned back the the tea kettle and imagined the tiny soldier. He did the proper wand movement once more and made sure he got his pronunciation right this time. "Rever-TOE!"

He looked at the tiny soldier in front of him and grinned. He'd done it! Muaha! Oh, but wait. Before getting overexcited, there was always something wrong. He put down his wand and held the toy soldier right to his face so he could examine it closely. Besides the fact that it's perfect green colour had faded a bit, there really seemed to be no difference-

TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

"OWWW!" He yelled, dropping the toy and covering his ears. Fumbling, he grabbed his wand as the noise went on, consuming the room. Pointing his wand at the soldier on the ground, he said, "Silencio!" and it went quiet.

Well, that obviously didn't work. But now that he'd made it go quiet, surely it counted as a full untransfiguration?
