Transfiguration 3 - Q&A
 

Alex skipped into the classroom singing to herself and looking happy. She scrambled up onto her desk and sat on it facing the class, "Hi!" she beamed happily, kicking her quills and paper onto the floor, "For class today, you guys get to ask me questions! Every time you ask me a question and I get it right, you get a water balloon, if I get it wrong, you dont. After class we'll had over to the Firing room and have a water balloon fight! Doesnt that sound like fun?" she explained in a overexcited voice. "We'll start in a few minutes."

OOC: I take no responsibility for what may come out of Alex's mouth :P

Freya walked in and as she did the Professor was speaking. 'Water balloon fight? I don't think so.' She took a seat and didn't even bother taking out her quill and notepad.

'Yeah, right. You can make up any answer you want and say that it is right because YOU are in charge.' Freya continued to think.

'Does it sound like fun?' "Yes, Ma'am." 'No.' Freya just sat in her seat with an almost sour look on her face. One of her favorite subjects and it's Professor had to lose their marbles as well? Spiffing...just spiffing.

"Transfiguration questions, duh." Alex giggled as she tucked her legs underneath her. "I guess we can start now so go for it!"

Paris was eying people already she wanted to hit with a water balloon and Willow and Tobi were the two she was gunning for. She giggled at the thought and raised her hand. "Professor Pierce what is the difference between charming something and transfiguring something?" She asked.

"When you transfigure something it changes shape or is conjured, charming something makes it do something else. Everyone knows that, come on give me a hard one." Alex responded flippantly as she lay down on her desk and hung one leg over the side, swinging it back and forth. "Oh, and heres your balloon!" she reached under her desk and pulled out a green water balloon and tossed it to the Slytherin girl.

This is so strange. Miranda was baffled at the way the professor was acting. She knew and expected adults to be boring and all... superior like. But Professor Pierce was going to give them waterballoons and then have a fight? Awesome! she grinned.

Now for a question... Miranda had a peek in her textbook.
"Professor," she raised her hand "Which is the first of the five Principal Exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration?"

Hehehe.

"Prrooofesssor!" Anna exclaimed, her hand in the air. "I have a question. Okay, so...let's just say I wanted to transfigure my hair a pretty pink polka-dotted color. Is there a spell for that? Oh, and what if I wanted to transfigure my dinnertime meal into a huge pile of candy? Can I do that, too?" she asked. "Oh, and professor, do you know how to spell the word Transfiguration? Anna was H-Y-P-E-R, and she really didn't feel much like sitting in class and being serious. What was the fun in all that?

Cale looked around the classroom in a mild state of shock. What was going onnnnnn? He had almost had enough of all these loony professors. Sigh. He figured he'd better ask a question since a number of them were flying all over the place. He raised his hand. "Professor, when you transfigure an animal into something else like...a teacup, do they feel anything?" he asked.

Chris waved excitedly to his favorte teacher and hoped she was excited to see him too. "Hey Professor Pierce, um... are there any rules that are especially important when doing Transfiguration?"

Mariel simply stared at Professor Pierce, as she sat on her desk and made her announcement about today's lesson, like she was completely mental because... well, she clearly was. But that seemed to be the trend at Hogwarts so she didn't spend much time dwelling on it.

Questions about Transfiguration? The second year didn't really have any, she usually just took it for granted that things worked the way they did some Ravenclaw she was, but she figured if that's what was happening today then she'd better participate lest she get in trouble.

Raising her hand, Mariel asked, "So when you conjure something, where does it come from?" And along that same line of questioning... "And when you Evanesco stuff, where does it go?"

Rian's eyes bugged open when she heard the instructions for today's lesson. Are these robes suppose to get wet? With a mental shrug, she smiled. Ah well. She could always buy new ones.

"Proffesor?" she asked, her hands shooting up into the air. "If a person is transfigured into an animal, do they take on the qualities of said animal? Or do they stay human-like?" that was a random question...but it was the first one she thought of. And she was pretty sure she knew the answer...but hey! Maybe she'd get a water balloon.

Paris giggled and caught her balloon. She took the tiny end of it and stuck it to her desk for safe keeping. This was going to be too much fun she could tell. Her eyes roamed to Anna and Cale, oh yes they were going on the list too, and of course Clifford was on there. "Professor what do you call a witch or wizard that can change their appearance without the aid of potions or transfiguration?" She asked as she bounced in her seat with her hand raised.

Daniel almost clapped his hands when he had heard of the great activity to follow after the question and answer part... He then thinks of something that can be asked to the Professor . He then raised his hands and said, "Professor how would you know if a thing is transfigured or not?"

Cedric raised his hand..this was exciting for him but what do water balloons means..they were in transfiguration..this could be serious..Cedric thought.."Professor..we know that we can transfigured a rat to a box..but how do we transfigured a box to a rat?"

A water balloon fight? Sakura raised an eyebrow slightly. Just what was a water balloon and what did one do in a water balloon fight? Well she supposed she would soon find out.

"Professor if I wanted to transfigure a human into an animal, say a fox against his or her will what spell would I have to use? Or is there even a spell for it?" Sakura asked, genuinely interested. If the professor told her the spell or incantation it would save her a whole lot of time trying to look it up in books that were likely kept in the restricted section of the library.

Cela made a face of confusion. How did they know if Professor Pierce got it right or wrong when they were asking the questions in the first place? And why were people answering questions which they should already know the answer to? She stared around at the class, mentally answering some of the questions. So weird. Someone was probably going to ask about the exceptions to Gamp's law next. Still, she figured asking at least one question.

Cela raised her hand slowly, "Professor Pierce, Is it possible to make transfigurations permanent? Or can all transfigurations be reversed?"
