He continued to look around the room, watching each student's progress. He noticed split boards and bent nails. "You'll want to practice enough on your own so that the nails are sturdy and that you are more confident with how much force malleus requires."
Returning to the board, he added a new spell. Cordage Creatus.
"If you all could pause for a moment, you can return to practice in a moment." Pausing to wait for the noise in the room to die down, Professor Kingsley clasped his hands behind his back.
"Hammer and nails is one way to bind things together, but another is rope. If you can transfigure a shoelace or a piece of string into sturdy, thick rope, you can manage any number of things, including creating shelter with nothing more than a blanket and some trees to tie the rope between."
Flicking his wand at the board, a list of items appeared under the incantation. Shoelaces, string, ribbon, wire, vines, snakes, eels
"There are other things, as well. Obviously, living creatures are more difficult."
Pausing, he looked around. "The incantation - Cordage Creatus - is pronounced cor-dahge crey-ah-toos, accompanied by two loose circles with your wand. I will be right back with your <ahem> subjects."
Preston disappeared behind the curtain and rummaged around before returning with a crate.
A crate that slithered.
"When you are ready to try this last spell, come and get a snake. They are defanged and not poisonous at all. You are quite safe." Amy walked up to the front and retreived a snake and set it on the desk "Cordage Creatus!" the slithering little snake was now a rope all curled up on the desk it was pretty except that in some spots it had snake skin instead of rope. "reverto!" she changed it back into a snake

"You can stay to practice for a while longer, but I want to assign your homework now, as class is drawing to a close."
He tugged on his ruffled cuffs as his eyes traveled across the room. "Some of what I've taught you so far this term has direct application. But, many of these spells can also be used creatively in any number of situations."
Flicking his wand at the board, the homework appeared.
List 10 different uses of the spells taught so far this term. You must name at least three different spells.
"I want you to share with me creative uses of the spells from this lesson and the lesson before. If I had taught you the spell for turning a rock into a chair, for example, one of the things you could list would be 'to break up for firewood.' That's the sort of thing I'm looking for."
Holstering his wand, he looked at the class. "You may stay and practice, but once you are done, please return your snake/rope and board to the front of the class. I will take care of restoring the creatures to their original form. Don't want you reverting worms that are then partially stuck in the wood."
ooc: I'll leave this class open until later tomorrow so you can continue to play, but if your charrie is ready to leave, they may. Amy gathered her things up and returned the snake and other objects to the professor "thanks for the awsome lesson professor" she said as she skipped toward the door "I'll probably stop by the practice room later" |
