Aww... he was a nice professor. Cadence liked this one. She certainly hoped he didn't almost die or get chased away or disappear. Yeaah...

Looking at the scarf, she thought this would be pretty easy. A scarf was quite a bit like a bracelet, yes? Without trying very hard, she thought, "Reverto!" but nothing happened. Maybe this was going to be harder than she thought. Trying again, she concentrated really hard and.... "Reverto!"

yeaaah.... nothin.

Sighing, she put down her wand for a moment and skimmed her notes, looking for something that might help her. For some reason, she had heavily underlined the word Properties in her notes. Thinking hard, she tried to remember what he had said about properties. She had been the first to bring up the word, and he had praised her for that, but what else had he said? Something about imagining clearly the properties of your original object. Closing her eyes for a moment, she pictured her bracelet. She could see it clearly in her mind: the diagonal stripes made of knotted string...

Concentrating very, very hard on these properties, she thought, "Reverto!" And was very excited when her scarf began to transfigure! Except... it didn't shrink in size. The scarf remained the same size, but it was now a giant replica of her friendship bracelet.

Right. Raising her hand, she said, "Um... professor?"
