And he was willing to bet it wouldn't taste like one either. Regardless, sigh, this was for an assignment and he was eager to try a nonverbal spell. Re-ver-toe. Re-ver-TOE. All right. He could do this. Fletcher rolled up his wrinkly, stained sleeves and flourished his wand, with his other hand out for balance. Re-ver-TOEEE, he thought strongly in his head, concentrating on an image of the pink cupcake from earlier. The boy flicked his wand and thought it again. Re-ver-TOEEEEEEEEE! And there was a little poof of smoke and the pygmy puff was gone, replaced by a... "Furry, yellow cupcake?" Fletcher tilted his head and stuck a pinky out to swirl off some of the sticky icing. He stuck his finger in his mouth and then started coughing. "Ewwweeww gross. This ain't my cupcake." |

He looked back at his desk... and it was bird-less. Uh... that wasn't good. Fortunately, the peacock moved slowly, and was strutting it's way towards the front of the class. "Oy, get back here you!" Kellen got up and grabbed the bird by the tail feathers, glad that its tail wasn't currently fanned. He hauled it backwards and adjusted his grip around its middle, ignoring the irate look it sent his way. This... was going to take a while. |
Timothy brooded a few minutes then attempted the charm again. He closed his eyes tapped and swirled the wand and..."Riveerto".....the doorknob spun around and came to a stop, appearing to be his old closed pocketwatch, he grinned at the professor and opened it triumphantly. There was a keyhole where the watch face should be. Crap So he tried it again, invisioning what it should look like deep within his thoughts. "Riverto!" It spun again, this time looking much akin to its last transformation, and he hurried to open it before declaring his victory. Yet...it was stuck..... He pried it apart and it was the normal watchface, ticking away cheerfully. He had done it....he was not too proud of himself though....and only through a trail of failures did he actually get to the destination. |

Giving the giant bracelet a quick glance, he added, "Keep at it. And if when I call time you still haven't managed, you can finish verbally." Quote:

--- Once more, Professor Kingsley took a lap around the room, transfiguring the items of students who had not previously had an item changed. There. Now nearly everyone, except those who were finished and working on their notes, was set up to try the spell. ooc: That's it for me for today. Keep working on your untransfigurations, but know that if you need Prof. Kingsley, it'll be a bit of a wait. Consider the above my transfiguring your item into something else. Below there's a list for those of you who already named what your original item is but hadn't had it changed yet. If you can't find your name or haven't posted in the thread yet, you can make up what Professor Kingsley turned it into with the following guidelines. 1st-4th year, inanimate. 5th-7th year, animal; spell to be attempted nonverbally. SPOILER!!: Your item was transfigured into.... (for those who I did not tell individually IC) |

Kitty! Gold totally did not register the the kitten was an animate object and, that considered, would be more difficult to untransfigure. What she noticed was that the kitten was absolutely CUUUTE. "It's so adorable," she said quietly, as she reached out a hand, to scratch the kitty behind the ear. It was a bit larger, of course, than her toy lion. But it was a lovely, little ball of fur, the kind she could have cuddled and played with all day long. AND the thoughts were distracting. She was thinking of her own kittens, High Heels and Mr. T, now. Right. Back to work. If Gold had been trying this spell verbally, she knew she would have been able to ace it, in the first try - she had lots of practice, with that. She had not done it much non-verbally, however - barely. Not to mention, this was actually a live object. That would make the transition more difficult. Concentrate, she told herself. What did she want? Something smaller, not furry, quite alike in appearance but not able to breathe, more mould-able, all plastic. "Reverto!" OOPS. Her Her toy-lion was back, but with a tail that was like the kitten's - no, that was the kitten's - and wagging quite unhappily -- and real paws. Kind of big, for a smallish, toy lion. Gold bit her lip, and looked up at Professor Kingsley. "Um?" she offered. "I think I could do it perfectly, if I tried the spell verbally," she added, thoughtfully. |

Ugh, mate, dis-gust-ing. But on to another attempt. Re. Ver. Toe. RE. VER. TOE. REVERTO! the boy thought, shutting his eyes to better focus as he flicked his wand at the puff!cake. He opened one eye cautiously at first and then the other and breathed a sigh of relief. Whew, that cupcake looked fully pink. "Would you like to taste it, sir, to make sure I performed the spell correctly?" Fletcher raised his hand and asked the professor. Merlin knew he wasn't going to try tasting it again. |
ok, I lied; but only because you posted while I was editing the 'ok I'm done' note ;) Quote:

"But I do have a question," he added. "Where did the pymgy puff go when I transfigured the cupcake back?" |

BREATHEEE. Reverto. What did she have, now? One kitty!paw, one lion!paw -- and a tail that wasn't plastic. Gold frowned, and tried again. Concentrate, Shiny!Brain. Concentrate. On tiinyyy, plastic paws. A tail, yes, but one that was a bright yellow, and could not, for the life of it, wag itself that way. Gold focused on it, focused on it a HEAP, and gave the spell another shot -- Reverto! The toy lion was back. No kitty!paws, no wriggly tail. Gold beamed at it, petted its head, and looked around for Professor Kingsley. She was happy. |
Catching Up! so behind, silly busy real life! :P Patroclus felt as though he was falling behind, which he was! The scribbled down the exceptions, mentally thinking, i will have to rewrite this so i can read it. He then quickly filled out his details on his object. Quote:
"Sir, I am ready to have my things transfigured." He smiled at the Professor. |

Ellie tried again. "Reverto!" The necklace's hear pendant (now black) shrunk until it disappeared. "Bye-bye heart" she said, quietly. "Reverto!" Now the links became solid. She began to wonder if it was supposed to be like this... Shouldn't it all happen at once, in one single 'reverto'? |
Mina looked at the pearls that were once her pretty bracelet. Feeling them between her fingers, she set them on her desk and picked her wand up. Giving them a tap and a swirl, she cast Reverto! Nothing Okay, that wasn't what she expected. Shaking her head, she raised her wand again and focused a little bit more. Again, she tapped the pearls and swirled. Reverto! This time half of the pearls were replaced with the silver links. It was a step in the right direction at least. She just needed to focus a bit more, she knew it. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and thought of just how her bracelet once looked and kept that vision in her head. Opening her eyes, she exhaled and gave the pearls another tap and swirl. "Reverto!" Now the bracelet looked like it had before. But was it exactly the same a before. Picking it up, she held it in her palm. It felt the same but she sensed it wasn't truly back to its original state. |

Giving her a light smile, he turned back to his work. |
Abbi's eyes rounded with excitement as the Professor transfigured her small button shirt to a laaaarge money toy... and then reality hit. If this would be as hard as flying she was doomed. Picking up her wand and practicing with the swishing first, when she felt comfortable enough she said "R-e-v-e-r-t-o". Nothing Happened. She frowned. Right, she didn't focus on the .. ehh what did the professor call them. The parameters of the change? or characteristics of it. Okay, she recalled the image of the button with her mind and tried again, swishing the wand with her hand she said "R-e-v-e-r-t-o" again and and and and it changed!! Into a smaller squishy ball? She raised a brow then squeeled! She made magic with her wand!!! It worked!! And and she made it turn into something else. Getting more excited she tried again in hopes of getting it right. |
catching up!! ^^ Quote:
He put out his 'valuable' item. It was a cupcake and it wasn't really valuable at all, like seriously, so he needn't worry if he make a mistake while casting it on the cupcake. And the cupcake didn't taste good at all, it had been mixed, prepared, and baked terribly by a terrible chef: Cedric himself. He jotted down on a parchment regarding 'bout the cupcake. He hoped that the information he'd given in the parchment was rather good enough. Quote:
Cedric raised his hand reluctantly, a bit undecided whether he really had to ask his professor about the thing that bothered him a little. "Sir, what if you were to turn or well, transform my cupcake into a flour, how could I retrieve its original form? Knowing that I have to keep in mind or concentrate about the countless, probably thousands of bits of flour while doing the untransfiguring spell, I think I'll have a hard time retrieving its natural look." That truly did bother him, yes. And he'd like to know the answer, of course. |
Ahhh... I hate teeeny posts. :( Quote:

Errr... right. Cadence had been expecting help, but all she got was praise. So that must mean she just needed to keep trying? As she sat there and stared at her gigantic friendship bracelet, she tried to remember the precise size that it had been. Spacial thinking was one of Cadence's worst learning styles, but she would have to try, wouldn't she. Looking at the giant friendship bracelet and trying to picture it smaller and actually, ya know, bracelet sized. She gave her wand a flourish and thought, "Reverto!" The width of the bracelet shrunk to the right size, but it was still far too long. Cadence let out an exasperated sigh, feeling very near the point of giving up. This was supposed to be easy for her. |
:: Ehgad closed his eyes again and thought about the quill. He thought about it sitting in front of him on the desk and even thought about what it felt like. His mouth worded the spell.. reverto reverto and then he finally pick up the wand. He flourish his wand and opened his eyes, "Reverto!" He yelled with earnest and enthusiasm. In fact his voice cracked at the end and the drumstick was his broken quill but was now in three pieces. It was only bent before, this was different. Ehgad gasped and picked up the pieces. No trace of the drumstick was left, but boy was this different. He didn't care that much though, he placed the quill on his desk. He overlapped the broken pieces so it didn't look broken and was pleased. He smiled and leaned back. "That was easy. I must be a genius or something." He boasted to some nearby students. He leaned so far back in his chair that his chair tipped and Bang he crashed his head into the corner of the room. "Geeeeeeez!" He stood up, "That wall tried to pull me in!" Rubbing his head and pouting once more, he blinked his eyes to hide the tears of pain welling in his dark eyes. :: |

"Because the Pygmy Puff was a transfigured creature, and not an actual one, it ceases to be. Your cupcake, while transfigured, retained some of it's cupcake-ness, so it was able to turn back. Nothing of the Pygmy Puff remains, except for the raw material used to create it." Terribly vague, to be sure, Preston thought, though as good an answer as he could manage without a lecture. Quote:

"A good question. I am going to use another example, because flour could be the result if you used reverto, emphasis on the VER, now to change it to a former state, instead of reverto, emphasis on the TO." Preston picked up the cupcake. "If I were to transfigure this cupcake into, say, 15 puzzle pieces, yes, you would have to concentrate on those individual pieces changing back into the cupcake. But, because the cupcake never really goes away entirely-- the spell would wear off and the puzzle pieces return to a cupcake -- the pieces, remember, for lack of a better term, what happened to them, which aids in your untransfiguration." Placing the cupcake down, he tapped it. A pile of puzzle pieces. Quote:
Another tap, and... a candle. Quote:

Patroclus had a profound belief in his transfiguring abilities after all, his mother was at one time the Transfiguration Professor at Beauxbatons. Looking at the boat, he same that in a way his sandal and it were very similar, the shape, the sturdiness and the functionality. Hism mother had always taught him to find the similarities in transfigured objects, rather than their differences when it came to reversing the affects. Staring at the boat, he raised his wand, and with a slight tap spoke the incantation "Reverto!" However the inital results were rather underwhelming. He tried again "Reverto!" This time there was definite improvement, the boat was now navy and made of leather. "So close" Patroclus whispered to himself. Giving himself one last attempt, Patroclus focused, re called on memories; memories of what it felt like to wear his sandals, he mentally wiggled his toes in the sandals, felling them hit the sole and the upper of the leather. With these thoughts and feeling embedded in his mind he gave it a shot, "Reverto!" Success, his sandals had returned. |
The spell was becoming easier with each cast. The professor was correct in stating that practicing the spell would get her mind off the other things that were running through it. Her concentration had incressed and because of it, she was now staring at a frisbee with rhinestones. Another step closer to untransforming the frisbee. After staring at the frisbee, but thinking about the ugly pink sunshades, she gave her wand a wave. "Reverto!" Part of the frisbee grew a transparent shade of pink from the lenses of the shades but changed no more. She twirled her wand between her fingers and tried to focus more on the frisbee. |

Okay, time to look for comparisons. This was a lot easier when he knew what the item had been in the first place. Look at the bird, compare it to a comb, then backtrack the steps. Part of him wondered if the next part of the class would be untransfiguring things they didn't know the original item for. The tail-feathers were pretty clearly the teeth of the comb, but the rest... ugh. Where the heck were the ends? And it was hard to picture all these brilliant colours as just dark grey and blue. Kellen observed the peacock a little closer, and noticed something on its stomach... the brand mark. So, if that was there... and the teeth of the comb were there, then the ends would be... oh but wait don't forget the colour... Reverto. He blinked, looking at a predominantly-gray-with-some-blue peacock. The peacock was looking at itself too, and puffed up its feathers indignantly. "Yeah, I'd be pretty peeved too," Kellen remarked. "Re--" whoops. In the head. Reverto. He thought he was done. He looked done. But then he ran a finger along the teeth of the comb and they still felt soft and decidedly un-plastic. A final Reverto fixed that problem. As an afterthought, Kellen removed the sticking charm from his desk. |
