Transfiguration - Lesson One Danni Pride was on her usual perch, sitting Indian style on her desk, as the students entered the classroom. "Fourth years and up on the right, third and under on the left, please." she said in a cheerful voice, "It'll be easier for me to keep track of you then." she added with a wink. Out from behind the desk she pulled out a jar of catterpillars and three boxes of wooden matches. |
Josey entered the transfiguration classroom with a grin on her face. "Hi, Professor," she said as she sat on the right. She couldn't wait for class to start. |
Cassandra walked in and nodded at her professor. She took a seat on the left, as she was instructed. Third year, and so much further to go. She pulled out her book, a roll of parchment and the quill her mother had given her as a present. She sat quietly and watched the others be seated. |
Kay enter quietly into the classroom. She smiled at the professor and took a vacant seat at the back of the room. After pulling out her notebook and quill, she sat patiently, waiting for the class to begin. |
Alexis walked into the Transfiguration classroom. "Hello professer." She said then she said down at a seat on the left. |
Pauline walked into the Transfiguration room. She saw a couple people in there already and went to go find a seat. She saw Kay sitting at the back and went up to the seat in front of her. She smiled at Kay and took a seat waiting for the class to begin. |
Jolie was ready for her first Transfiguration lesson at Hogwarts. Hugging her books to her chest she slid to the right side of the room as the teacher instructed. Jolie tucked a stray strand of blonde hair behind her ear and eagerly awaited the beginning of the lesson.. wandwork was, after all, one of her best talents you could say. |
Erin waltzed into the Transfiguration classroom, a smile on her face. She was happy, and she hoped the professor wouldn't mind her dancing as she came in. As she was instructed, Erin took a seat on the right side of the room. She was a fifth year. Erin placed her bag on the floor beside her chosen seat, one in the second row. Once seated, the girl pulled out her book, wand, quills and parchment. To pass the time before everyone else arrived and the class began, Erin opened her book and began skimming over the glossary of spells in the back of the book. |
Megan skipped in and sat on the left side of the room in a desk at the front. She pulled out her textbook, parchment, ink, and a quill and sat waiting for the Professor to start class. |
Natalie entered the classroom and nodded to Professor Pride, "Good day, Professor." she said as she walked to the right of the classroom. She sat down and took out her school supplies before setting her bag down, under her desk. |
Dinara walked into the Transfiguration classroom and waved a hello to the professor. She then followed the instructions and being a first year she took a left and sat down toward the front of the room. She then sat her bag on the floor and pulled out her quill, ink, and a new sheet of parchment. She was ready. |
Upon entering the room, Kennedy heard Professor Pride request that third years and below sit on the left side of the room. Kennedy walked to the front row on the left side and took a seat as close to the center as possible, while still remaining on the left. She then proceeded to take out from her tote bag her Transfiguration text book, a quill, ink, and parchment. She awaited further instructions from the professor. |
Kiara entered the classroom without making any sound. Ah... She had missed that particular class so much. Well, actually, that was probably the only class she had ever missed but then again Transfiguration had always been the one subject she considered to be the easiest. Quote:
As she looked around, she noticed that there were more and more students in there by the second. Not wishing to have to stand while the teacher spoke, Kia sat down near a girl she had never seen before at Hogwarts but seemed to be from her house as well. 'Hey there' She said softly as she took a seat. She then put her books, a piece of parchment, a quill and ink out of her bag, ready to start taking out notes. |
Danni hoped off her desk and closed the door, "Alright, anyone else who walks through that door will now be officially late and have five points taken off their house. Now, on to the lesson, Lets burn some caterpillars!" she said picking up the jar and a box of matches. She stared around the room for a second before bursting out laughing, "I'm only kidding, I would never hurt these little guys." she said as she picked up one of the caterpillars she had named Zork and put it on her shoulder. "Ok, each of my first through third years students will be given a match, and each of my fourth through sevenths will be given a caterpillars. Anyone care to venture a guess as to why?" |
Rachel ran into the classroom at break-neck speed. She freightened the professor and the students in the classroom. She had been late to too many classes and she refused to be late to this one. She promised the professor to study hard and being late didn't count as studying. "Hello, sensei." She sat down and got out her parchment and quill. She was determined to be the best in the class. |
Dinara thought for a moment and then raised her hand. "Is it because non-living objects are easier to transfigure than living objects?" |
Natalie raised her hand, "To transfigure them, Professor?" Natalie suggested, stating the obvious. "But matches would probably be easier for them." she nodded at the younger students. |
Alexis raised her hand."Um maybe it's harder to work with living things?" |
Erin eyed Professor Pride when she mentioned burning caterpillars, but once she realized that the woman was joking, Erin laughed along. Once the professor asked a question, Erin raised her hand. "Because caterpillars are living creatures, so they are more difficult to transform. Therefore, it makes sense for older students to try transfiguring them, because the magic is more advanced. And matches, nonliving objects, aren't quite as hard to transform, so they'd be more suitable for younger students." Erin smiled, quite sure that she'd given a fairly good answer. |
Sarah who was on the left hand side was confused. She knew it was to transfigure but wasn't sure to what they were transfiguring. She looked up quill in hand with a piece of parchment. |
Kennedy raised her hand and replied, "With a match, it is as simple as transfiguring a unimodal piece of wood, whereas with a living thing, there are different body parts, such as a brain, which make it much more challenging to successfully transfigure." |

"As for you younger students, you will be turning your match into a needle, try not prick yourselves! The spell is Slinario. Ok everyone, off you go!" she said smiling kindly as she passed out matches and caterpillars. "Oh and younger kids, try not to set yourself on fire." OOC: Natalie you were also correct but I have a no editing rule in my class ;) |
Dinara looked from Professor Pride to her match. She thought, well here I go...I hope I don't set anything on fire! She wrote down the spell used to transfigure the match into a needle and then picked up her wand. She took a deep breath and focused on her match. She raised her wand and said, "Slinario!" Dinara was pleasantly surprised at the result. "How is this Professor?" |
Jolie had just been rearranging her books when an older girl, in her house though, took the chair next to her. Careful not to lose any house points Jolie only gave the girl a polite smile - hopefully there would be time to talk after class. Deciding it would be best to lie low for her first class, Jolie was only too happy to let someone else answer the question, although she was a tad disappointed it hadn't been a Ravenclaw. Taking a caterpillar she looked at it for a moment, it was cute - all fuzzy and little. Jolie rolled up her sleeves and closed her eyes.. then started waving her wand. Although nothing happened. Nonverbal spells had always been a dud with her. She looked at the girl next to her, hoping for some inspiration, maybe if she knew how to do it, she could teach Jolie. |
Erin smiled at Professor Pride as she gave her a few house points. Then, as she listened to the instructions, Erin's frown flipped over. Nonverbal spells. She'd attempted them a few times, and most of her attempts failed. Erin was sure that this would be tricky. "Thanks, Professor," she mumbled as she was handed a caterpillar. With the little guy in her hand, Erin examined him. He was actually quite cute, she decided. Marky-Doo. That seemed like an excellent name for a caterpillar. Erin set Marky-Doo down on her desk and picked up her wand. She was hesitant, but she continued anyways. Slinario, Erin thought in her head, trying to make the voice inside her sound confident. Nothing happened. The caterpillar was still a caterpillar. |
