Transfig HW #1 :: Post #6 Quote:
"Hmm?" he replied, somewhat distractedly as he glanced up at the lake to make sure his boat was staying within reach. But then when he answered, it was clear that Tobias had heard exactly what Cutty had said, and he grinned in that pure innocent way of his. "I like everyone," the Hufflepuff answered simply, as if that was all the answer anyone would ever need. "Why'd'you ask? .......... Don't you?" Laying the vine across both of his knees, Tobias pictured that strong, fortified rope he'd managed to create in class and waved his wand at it. "Vinea Funiculus!" The result was pretty much instantaneous. The was the spell Tobias had mastered a lot quicker, probably because the vine was already in the shape of the rope he was trying to make. This was definitely a rope, clean and yellow, but thin. Nothing like the sturdy looking think he'd managed before. "Reverto." |
Transfiggy HW #1-Post 7 Text Cut: Toby "Some seem to be better at their jobs than others." He gave a bit of a vague answer. With the exception of Forrest, Cutty hadn't observed Tobias with other students, so he had no idea how true his notions were. But what he had seen was Tobias at work with the staff at Hogwarts. And maybe he was and maybe he wasn't kissing backside, but one thing was for sure. Toby had them eating from his hands. One more time. Picture it clearly, Mordaunt. The entwining pattern, the texture and even the smell of rope like a bitter tisane. "Vinea Funiculus!" He said tapping the end of the vine with his aspen and feather. The magic wended down from the point of contact plaiting and whipping back the appearance of vine and replacing it with Cutty's desired one of rope. Cuttty picked it up, held it close to his face and tugged at it twice between his hands to test it's strength. Not bad. Bellaire had said that they would be doing larger scale ones in the future, however. So he wanted to have this down. "Reverto!" "I was just asking because you seem like you get on better with older people. You know, living with your grandmum 'n all." Could he actually have something in common with Tobias Tempus, afterall? |
Transfiguration 1.1 "This is stupid," she stated decidedly, wand in one hand and a West in the other. What did the countless number of times Alice had successfully cast the spell in class stand for if not that she'd mastered the material? Although Bellaire couldn't possibly know about her progress if she hadn't actually been present in the class to see it. Ahem. But either way, the seventh year was completing the homework assignment, 'cause she was a good kid. She dragged her boyfriend along too, on account of Transfiguration bored her to death most of the time, and Alice needed something interesting to keep her from dozing off. Also because she needed reminders of what they'd learned in class. The moment she'd found a nice spot by the lake to work in, Alice started drawing blanks. "What was the movement for the wood again?" Point? Jab? Something. Merlin. She blamed Bellaire for her information retaining skills in this subject. |
trans 1.1 Quote:
"Do you think she's spying on us so that she knows we actually did the homework?" West wondered. "I mean, couldn't we just not and say we did?" How would she know otherwise? He knew the spell, could do it just fine and Alice.... okay maybe she'd forgotten. Okay then. There was a reason to do it then. Help the girlfriend. "Lignum Navicula and tap." He said obligingly, and set down the bag she'd given him containing their equipment, his and hers. Did she wanna go first then? |
Transfiguration 1.2 Quote:
And she KNEW the incantation, West. Hmph. She was still smarter than him. Totally was. Tap, then? She extended her wand arm out to her piece of wood, picture of a boat clearly in her mind, and gave it a good tap. "Lignum Navicula." |
Trans 1.2 Quote:
"Gryffindor." He said affectionately and kissed her cheek. Lie by omission. What even. Gryffindors, honestly. West settled down on the grass, and might have just watched but figured he'd get this stuff over with as fast as possible so that then they'd have some non-homework time together. That'd be good, that was an inspiring reason to do it all wasn't it? It was. He grinned at her and then turned his attention to his own bit of wood. "Lignum Navicula!" He tapped the wood with his wand, focusing hard on it becoming a boat... small boat anyways. So it worked, but was it water tight? "Did you bring something in the bag that we can put in the boats to see if they stay dry and all that?" |
Transfiguration 1.3 Quote:
The spell was easy enough when had the movement down pat, and Alice's piece of wood shaped itself into a small boat right away. Testing, though? ".... no." Preparation in advance? As if. Winging it was more her style. She looked at him expectantly. Well? What were they doing? West was still the smart one (for today). |
trans 1.3 Quote:
And since Alice hadn't brought any would be passenger, that left it up to West to do something. He put the boat down and dropped his wand into his hand. "Rabbits." He suggested. Yes? West looked around until he found a couple of rocks of a good enough size for their boats and held them up. Rabbits? Was she okay with that? He passed her one of the rocks and then pointed his wand at the other rock. "Lapifors!" The rock bulged and then all of a sudden expanded, fur pushing out and then ears and a nose and tail... until there was a bunny sitting in his hand looking quite startled. He examined it seriously and then popped it in his boat. Yep. He was ready to test and see if it floated. |
Transfiguration 1.4 Quote:
.... a rabbit? Really? "What are you going to do if they sink? Jump in and save them?" 'Cause he wasn't really going to let a bunny drown, right? Maybe she'd been spending too much time with Mo and his animal loving ways, but that seemed strangely unethical. Also, why hadn't he transfigured her rock too? Didn't he know Alice was lazy? "Lapifors." After a point at the rock, it began to enlarge, sprouting fur and two floppy ears and a wet nose thing that ended up shoved into her palm. Only hers was a lot fatter than West's on account of her rock had been larger. She had to cast a Shrinking Charm on the alarmed looking bunny to make it fit in her boat, and then she was finally ready for testing too. This was ridiculous. |
trans 1.4 Quote:
"Its a rock." He wasn't exactly going to mourn the sudden drowning of a couple of rocks. West tipped his head to one side. How Mo of her. "If they don't float, we can revert the bunnies back to rocks. No problem." He waited while she sorted out her boat passenger and then West stood up and headed to the edge of the water. He put his boat and its rabbit on the water and gave it a light push, sending it out a little further. The rabbit? Looked confused and huddled in the bottom of the boat, probably wishing it was still a rock. |
Transfiguration 1.5 Quote:
He probably shouldn't have dated a Gryffindor. Really. Alice, being her lazy self and all, crawled to the edge of the water instead of walking and gave her bunny a head pat before pushing her boat out. And lo and behold, it floated. Seemed as if West didn't need to play rabbit lifeguard after all. |
Trans 1.5 Quote:
But look, both boats floated just fine. Seemingly watertight. They could leave them to float a bit while they practiced the other spell too yeah? Then fish them out, change everything back, and be on their way. "Vines now?" |
Text Cut: Barty Lucky for him, Cosgrach missed that scowl while laughing, because he wasn't a fan of scowls, you see. He didn't miss his comment though, and raised an eyebrow. "Like?" Things he was glad to be here for? Cosgrach had always been curious about things that binded a person to a place, and he hoped the boy would honestly tell him now. The man couldn't decide for sure whether he was dealing with a potentially great potineer or a plain stupid adventurer, so he had to ASK before he promised more to the boy. "What are those things, son?" Did he actually KNOW somethings? Oh man, he should have known better. But he still knew better. It was just a matter how 'how' and 'what' to explain. "Because the water is contaminated." He casually omitted 'probably'. That colour sure wasn't PROMISING. "It's getting cold. The squid isn't the only creature there. You wouldn't want to be held hostage by grindylows. And the lake is huge. Shouting there won't get you far either. If the squid isn't in your vision, it would take you a week to find it." He shrugged. His tone was casual, because for all he knew, the boy could just ask an older student to perform the spell and get in there after Cosgrach left. It would be his problem then, though. It was his problem now. Cosgrach was just warning him without being dramatic and exaggerating to scare him off. "But he seems like a good guy." The CoMC Professor. "I'm sure if you said you wanted to learn more about the squid--" because Cosgrach appreciated his reason, but he was sure Javier wouldn't fully get it, "--he would inform you and if you acted like this super nice, responsible and hardworking child, I can't see why he shouldn't hold class about it and let you all in the lake." Fair enough? Good. |

"So would you say you followed in your brothers feet with all of that stuff?" She smiled weakly. Anna could see it, if that was the case. |
Transfiguration 5 Text Cut: ^___^ Permission, yes. Ella nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. This was nice, having a normal conversation with Lottie without feeling like she wanted to make a quick getaway. Perhaps the talk they'd had earlier in the term had made things a bit better between them? At least now she knew where she stood if anything. Vinea Funiculus and pointing. Sounded familiar. "Yeah, that. Thank you." For the reminder. The eighteen year old had notes in her bag somewhere but she wasn't keen to go fishing for them at the moment. There was just way too much stuff in there. She...should probably clean it out later or something. Amusing, that was. Ella smiled a bit wider at the demonstration, noting Lottie's dissatisfaction with her work. "It wasn't that bad. Perfectly good rope if you're, say, a mouse." She was kidding, of course, and not meanly either. "Your next one will be better." Obviously. The brunette didn't strike the blonde as the type to give up until something was perfect or near to. Her turn. Pointing her wand at the vine, Ella concentrated on what she wanted and then said clearly, "Vinea Funiculus!" Hm. It was a rope, not a bad one either. Ella set her wand down and picked it up in her hands, tugging on it gently. "Strong but...too heavy, I think." Ella wasn't exactly the strongest around so she'd need to work on that. "Reverto." And again because she wanted to get her rope as good as she could. "Vinea Funiculus!" A point of her wand later and again, there was a rope. Better this time. If only they had more people for a tug-o-war match. Perhaps her and Lottie would be on the same side this time around. |
Post #3 Text Cut: Botros! <3 Alec grinned from the man and then to the cane and then back again. If only he hadn't had homework to do because talking about a dragon cane was much better. It was a DRAGON cane, you know. "Maybe later?" he said, nodding at the cane. He DID want to take a closer look at the cane. Maybe find out where Botros had gotten one from? But he grinned, especially at the way the man was clapping. For HIM. "You think so?" Should he explain? "Oh... it's to help us survive out in a jungle. I mean... if we're stuck and we need ropes or a boat, we use these spells." And he was eighteen which meant that he could use magic outside of school without the fear of getting a letter from the Ministry. "The other one... is to transfigure this chunk of wood," Which he nodded at. "... into..." This one was harder which meant more concentration, yeah? Deep breaths... "Lignum Navicula!" TAP! "... into a boat." Which was sitting in place of the chunk of wood. He picked up a small rock and placed it into the boat. Small boat was small. In the bag? This was MUCH more exciting than the boat and rope. "I brought snacks! I thought it'd be a good idea to eat and practice spells at the same time. ... Erm... how do you feel about..." The Hufflepuff reached into the bag and pulled out two small boxes, both filled to the brim. "... sandwiches? One is peanut butter and jam and the other one is BLT." Did Botros want some? |
Quote:
"No way. I'm nothing like my brother. He plays sports I see them as rather dull. I'm good at school work, he was popular with girls and stuff. Pretty much anything Jacen is I'm the opposite. Always been that way." |
Text Cut: Kita How to survive in the jungle? Oh wow. That was one exotic class, if he could say so himself. He scratched his non-existent goatee and watched the boy turn a bunch of wood into a boat. From his first try, too! Aww, Botros chuckled with amusement and moved to tap the boat with his knuckles. Y'know, checking if it was wood for real. "Great job, really." |
Transfig post #1 Bay walked down towards the black lake with his objects in his hands muttering the words he needed to master. "Vinea Funiculus and what was the other one.. oh right Lignum Navicula!" going over and over in his head. getting right down to where the water meets the ground he placed his items down and was super focused on trying to slowly pronounce each word. |
Post #4 Text Cut: Laila and not Louisa Botros checking the boat made Alec feel better and... as if this was an Ancient Runes lesson where they had to write in runes. Yeah, and Botros was checking to see if he had written it correctly. Which reminded the boy: he needed to make a start with that piece of homework. ... One homework at a time. "Thanks!" GRIN. "I think this one is harder than the rope one which... was why I started with that first." You know, if the man wanted to know. "I did!" he said, his chest puffing out a little in pride. They were no pancakes or waffles but... his sandwiches weren't bad, right? Right. "Okay. Erm... if you get peckish, feel free to take one, yeah?" Also, was Botros planning on helping him with the spells? ... Maybe? The man used the word 'we'. Not you, we. Which meant... ... He got to work with BOTROS! GRIN. Trying not to look overly happy about this, Alec nodded and set the boxes of sandwiches down on top of his bag before turning to look at the boat. "Reverto." It was good to start from the beginning, yeah? "I think we can try and make a bigger boat. I mean... if you're stuck in a jungle, you'd need a boat big enough to fit yourself and the people you're with, yeah?" And one that would float. That was something they could try later. Right now... he was just going to... ... Breathe. Deep breaths. Concentrate. Confidence. Pretend to be... Candy Girl for the time being. She was full to the brim with confidence. Lignum... Navicula... Lignum... Navicula... "Three... two... one... Lignum Navicula!" TAP! ... Too loud? |
Transfiguration 1.6 Quote:
Vines now. Nodding a little, Alice reached into the bag and grabbed the pair of vines. One of the two was tossed over to West before she turned back to her own. This one was a point, right? Not asking him either way. Point. "Vinea Funiculus!" |
Quote:
Jackpot. So they had arranged to meet at the Black Lake with their wands, vines and wood since they needed the water in their testing anyway. The second year slipping everything into his satchel and making his way down when it was time, looking out for the older boy. Thankfully he was recognizable, Bay situated near the water's surface. "Hey..." he greeted as he came up beside him, taking his own seat upon the grass. "How well have you been at the spells?" His own work had been...okay. |
Trans 1.6? I think Quote:
Ahem. Vine time! He caught the vine she tossed at him and then pointed his wand at it. Focus. Strengthen it. And stuff. "Vinea Funiculus!" |
Transfiguration 1.7 Quote:
Or not. That expression said otherwise. Alice wrinkled her nose and turned back to her vine, which had thickened and toughened and twisted itself into a piece of rope around the size of the starting material. Was there any way to test if they had become strong enough? But that might have been unnecessary, seeing as vines were rugged, too. So she'd just wait for West. Yeah. |
