Torin did not like Transfiguration. He was not great at it, and he wasn't sure how good he would do in this Final. But he also wanted to try. Nothing wrong with trying really. Hopefully he would do okay, because it was the magic of this subject he got more than the theory.
He approached the first station, and read the instructions:
Quote:
Station one is a regular desk. On it is a simple silver bracelet set on top of a picture. The picture if of the original item: a Hogwarts tie. The instruction sheet on the table reads: revert the bracelet to its original state.
Reversion was pretty simple as far as Torin could remember. He had reverted objects before, and he knew the spell and wand movement. So he figured that he would have no trouble with this part of the practical.
He picked the bracelet up from on top of the picture, and started to inspect it, taking in the feel and appearance of it so he would have some idea of it's properties. Then he looked towards the picture of the Hogwarts tie.
The tie was different from the bracelet. It was soft and flexible, unlike a hard and circular bracelet. He took in all the differences between the bracelet and the tie, and then he started focusing his attention to imagining the bracelet breaking free from it's form and turning back into a tie. Closing his eyes, he then flicked his wand at the bracelet slowly in a sorta sweeping matter and muttered, "Reverto."
And there was then a tie in his hands instead of a bracelet.
And moving on to the next station:

Station two is a stool upon which rests a pink Frisbee. The instruction sheet beneath it reads: make a watch.
So he had to turn a Frisbee into a watch. That was easy really. He remembered doing this with Brody. But then he decided that he didn't want to think about that right now after the fight that they had. He wasn't even talking to her right now.
Sighing, he cleared his head of thoughts about his girlfriend.
He was going to make his watch orange. Because orange was the best colour ever, and he didn't want to make a pink watch. Violet would freak out if he made a pink watch, going on again about how he should be a girl.
Anyways.
Raising his wand, he twirled it in three tight clockwise circles and gave a little flick at the end. "Horolos." He was imagining what his watch would look like while he muttered the spell.
And he had an orange watch. Success. He was amazing like that. hehe.
On to the next station:

Station three is a small table. On the table is a box with holes cut in it, containing a chicken; a small pail with chicken feed and some space to work. Under the table is another box with a stuffed chicken toy in it. First and second years may choose to use this toy, instead. All others must receive special permission BEFORE their final to do so. The instruction sheet reads: make a pillow.
Great. He had to turn a chicken into a pillow.
Looking at the box with the holes, he frowned. He wasn't sure how good he was at this stuff. animal-to-object transformations... he wasn't really sure he was confident with them.
Taking the lid off of the box, he was startled when the chicken started hopping around and making loud noises. He didn't want the thing to jump out and start running around the room. That would make things more difficult for him. So he started trying to soothe the thing, talking to it in a soft and friendly manner. Not that he was sure that it made any difference. The thing was so loud, he was being drowned out.
Carefully reaching under the table and into the feel pail, he grabbed some food before holding it out for the chicken to eat. Then he started petting it gently as it began to eat. He was getting the chicken's trust and trying to make it feel more at ease.
And it was a rather nice chicken really. He wasn't too fond of the animals, but it was rather cute in a weird way.
Now it was time to work on the spell.
With a swish, flick, and point, he muttered, "Pulvinus." He had focused on the chicken turning into a pillow. The chicken to change from a soft creature with limbs to a nice soft object made of cloth.
And he had a pillow. A nice soft and fluffy white pillow.
On to the last station:
Quote:
The fourth table is a long table with three boxes taped out on the surface, and the numbers 1, 2 and 3 taped out in them. The sheet reads: lay out your items in the appropriate boxes and leave the testing area.
Right. Time to put the tie in the first box, the watch into the second, and the pillow into the third.
He placed each into the proper box and smiled, crossing his fingers that he did a good job and wouldn't fail his practical.
And then he walked out of the testing area. |
