He watched as students trickled in, and nodded decisively when that trickle stopped.

"Alright, let's begin." Preston clasped his hands behind his back. "There are three spells I want to teach you today, so I will refrain from lecturing so that we have as much practice time as possible." He looked over to the curtain quickly, before turning back to the class.

"Last lesson, we learned several ways to stay warm if you are exposed to the elements. Those spells might also be quite useful in other ways," he paused for emphasis, "but that will be for homework."

"Today, I want to give you a handful of spells that will be MOST useful after our third lesson, but will be useful today as well. Today, we will talk about making things that are binding or building in some way. I asked you about phobias and allergies because I did not want to present you with those if they were debilitating. My aim is to instruct you, not terrify you."

He looked around the room. "The spells I will teach you today can be used on an number of similar starting objects, but I have selected the more difficult to use. Live creatures that are difficult to work with."

Turning toward the board, he wrote up a single word: TACQUE.

"Pronounce ta-kay, this spell will produce a nail or a stake of various material, depending on your focus. You'll generally want metal though a wooden stake could have it's uses."

He paused. "What kinds of items are similar to nails or stakes that you could use this spell to transfigure?"

"I apologize that my question wasn't clear. I was looking for items to transfigure into nails, not things that could be done with them or things to make instead of nails. But I wasn't clear."

Walking to the board, Preston tapped on the surface. "Needles, toothpicks, twigs, pins, q-tips, straws and other similar items can be transfigured into nails or spikes with tacque. It is also possible, however, to transfigure worms into nails with this spell, and it is that we will practice now."

Walking behind the curtain, Preston returned with two metal buckets full of writhing earthworms. "Come up and grab a few worms and bring them back to your desk. You will practice the spell on these worms, focusing on turning them into regular nails. No spikes at this juncture. AFTER you are successful with regular nails, you may try other. The wand movement is a simple flick."

He looked over the class. "Worms. Tacque. Flick. Let's get started.[/COLOR]

Worms?!! They gonna transfigured worms?! Ewwww..That's sooooo gross..!! Freya put her gloves on before walking to the buckets where Professor Kingsley put the worms. She looked at the bucket. Ewww..That's a lot of worms. She took a deep breath before grabbed a few worms and returned to her seat. "Okay now the incantation and the wand movement." she took out her wand and flicked it "Tacque!" nothing happened. The worms still worms and it's still squirming.

She closed her eyes and tried to imagine a nail in her mind. She took a breath before flicking her wand "Tacque!" the worm turned into a nail before she could even blinked her eyes the nail turned to worm again.
