Moving about the room, Professor Jacqueline Black quickly transfigured the desks to have a large, lighted mirror attached to them so the students would have an easier time of working with the spell. Just as she finished, the students started to file in and stopped, looking a bit confused. "Come in, come in. Grab a seat! We have a fun topic to cover today and I want to let you have plenty of time to practice!" Professor Black motioned to the modified desks, smiling at the students confusion. She moved quickly to the front of the room and hopped up on top of her own desk, folding her legs pretzel-style and clasping her hands, resting her elbows on her knees. Assessing the group before her, she counted heads to make sure all were present before continuing. "Alright. Today we are going to cover color-changing spells. This is a bit of non-verbal magic that you should be able to accomplish with a bit of practice. We are going to work on something small, then you can work up from there." She picked up her wand from her lap, and twirled it in her hands. "Color changing will be achieved by following a few simple steps. First off, you need to concentrate. Picture in your head the object you are trying to change the color of clearly. You want to make sure that you are not distracted so that you don't have any issues with your transfiguration. Second, you want to picture the object changing to the color you want. The more detailed the image in your head, the better your end result will be. Third, tap the object three times." She brought her wand up to her hair, tapping it three times. It quickly changed from its dark blonde color to a vibrant green. Tapping it again, it was a brilliant sky blue. Once again, and it became a hot pink shade. Professor Black hopped down from the desk, leaving her hair the last color she had played with. "Now its your turn. Don't forget to concentrate and don't panic! I am here to help you fix any mishaps you might have. It might take a few tries to get it right, but don't give up. I want you to work on a smaller item -- your eyebrows. Now, give it a try, using the mirror to help you out. Have fun!" She gave them a friendly smile and began to wander around the room, watching for successes and for those who need a bit of help. Too soon, the class period was over and she restored those who were successful back to normal. As the last student left the room, she restored her own color back from the pink before setting the classroom up for the next group to come in. Homework: Simply rp the lesson. Have any mishaps you wish! Have fun! |

[justify]During the fourth week of classes, Nikandros Matthias was rather excited about the election, which he knew that he had every reason to be. He could barely focus on lessons ahead because of it. However, the Gryffindor prefect had to push forward no matter what. He still needed decent grades. He needed to impress his father and himself. He walked into the classroom and found his seat. His amber eyes looked around to see none other than Rosie and Bryce, all close and such. He knew that they’d end up together, despite not being official. His rival seemed sad but he was not worried. Not in the least bit. His eyes wondered about to finally find Alaska. He looked as beautiful as ever. He would never tell her that. He would get a bigger head. He shook the thoughts from his head and started to focus on the lesson that was about to start. They were going to be covering color-changing spells, which sounded much easier than conjuring, but it was a bit of nonverbal magic. They were soon told the steps, but his mind was still focused on the fact that it would be nonverbal. He had issues with that. However he kept in mind what he needed to do, and watched the professor change her hair color, several times to very bright shades that did not suit her at all. Nikandros looked into the mirror, and he knew that he wanted. He had always wanted to have silver hair, not gray, but liquid silver. He took out his wand, and he held it by his hair, and he thought of what he wanted, and did not let any othis color of thought come into his mind. He tapped his hair three times, before he saw his blonde hair melting away to a silvery color. A Slytherin silver. Nikandros smirked slightly, but he didn't want to mess it up. It just looked strange on his right now. After the class was over, his hair returned to blonde thanks to Professor Black before he left the classroom in a hurry. [/justify] |

[justify]Damon Kyle was really glad to be attending another class today. Everything about magic made Damon giddy, from Transfiguration to Potions, though Defence Against the Dark Arts was a lot different. He often did not appreciate that class. Damon was really happy about the other classes though! Damon really wanted to just sit down and get started. Damon found his seat in the front of the class, and he settled in beside his best friend. He waited for the others to arrive which was getting closer and closer. He was one of the first ones to come in here, out of all of the sixth years anyway. At least the holidays were coming up really soon. However once the others had arrived, they were ready to begin the lesson once more. He knew that everything would turn out as good as it always had. Looking at the mirror on his desk, he wondered what they were going to be doing today. They would be going over a fun topic? That sounded fun to his! Even if he did not know what it was immediately. He still wanted to have fun today, and fun in class was just great to the Prefect. Today they were going over color-changing spells, and it was a bit of nonverbal magic. Damon had issues with that already with Lumos and Nox coming rough to his. However maybe Transfiguration spells would be much easier. The professor demonstrated on how to do it, which was thought and three taps. Now it was their turn to get it done! He thought of what color to change his hair before he figured that it would be a pretty blue color, almost like Ravenclaw’s! He tapped his hair three times and concentrated. His hair changed to a brilliant blue. He then changed it to yellow. Then he went to the professor to get it changed back as they were free to go. [/justify] |

[justify]It was the fourth week of lessons and Sergei Zhefarovich was more than ready to get the rest of the semester done and over with. There were just a few more weeks left of school, and Sergei was relishing in it. The Slytherin looked up and saw the professor before he felt like he was going to be wasting his time like he always was in classes. Although this one was an exception. He was earning his house some points, so he should not be complaining. Slytherin really needed the points right now. Sergei did not really care though. The other sixth years entered the classroom and they were ready to begin. He just hoped that no one would come in here and make him risk Slytherin losing their points and losing their lead to the house that he did not like except for one certain someone. Well, two, if one counted his cousin. Once all of the sixth years were into the classroom, Professor Black sounded excited about the spell that they were going to use. It was color-changing spells. Yet why did they need a mirror for that? It was also nonverbal magic which he was positive would make things a bit more interesting, not to mention a bit tougher. The first thing was to concentrate, and use the mind’s eye. The more detailed, the better, much like conjuring. Then tap the object three times. He looked at the mirror after they were told that they would have to do it. He could not even picture himself with any other color hair besides black. Sighing, he took out his wand and forced himself to focus. He was going to turn his hair white. He concentrated on his hair. He could see it changing to a very vivid white. He tapped his hair three times and the black melted away to white. Sergei was amazed, and then he changed it to a dark maroon. White was just too much. The class period was over and he got the professor to turn his hair back. He left the classroom, wondering if Transfiguration was coming easier to him because of his extensive training. [/justify] |

[justify]Each week was getting a little easier as time went on. Bryce Chamberlin felt somewhat better, and he had people he could talk to about this, and help him through it. That was what mattered the most. He walked into the classroom for the fourth week of lessons. The holidays were drawing nearer, and this would be his first Christmas without his father. That tugged on the strings of his heart, but maybe he could invite Rosie over, and they could enjoy it together. Maybe her family too. It would be really nice. He hoped to have a big gathering. He looked forward, and hoped that everything would turn out okay with lessons, his assignments and everything in between. Bryce took his seat and made sure that the professor was not talking yet. He waited for the professor to start talking so that he could start lip reading once more for the lesson ahead. The mirrors were distracting, but at least Bryce did not look as sad anymore. The spell that the sixth years would have would be the color changing spell, which did not have any sort of incantation. Good, he hated to use spells anyway. He wondered what hair his needed to turn into, before he decided on blue, for Ravenclaw. He tapped his hair three times before it turned blue. He smiled, and he turned it pink next. He loved this spell, perhaps more than the other students in the class. But, not matter how hard he tried, he could not turn it back to the original color. He went up to the professor to have it changed back before he left for the day.[/justify] |

[justify]Tybalt couldn't believe how quickly the semester was flying by. It seemed like just the day before he'd been at home celebrating the holidays with his parents and his family. It was a strange thing. He couldn't quite believe it. He was happy however, this year was proving to be good. He knew that he was doing well, and he knew that he didn't have much time left in the school, so he was determined to have as much fun as possible. His eyes were set on the Quidditch cup, but next year they were set on the house cup. He would work as hard as he ever to be sure that he could help his house get to victory. It was the least he felt like he could do. He smiled to himself as he prepared himself for the next lesson. He was looking forward to it. Despite the amount of work he was doing, and the extra stuff he did on the side, he was really happy with it all. he was really pleased with how much he was managing to achieve. He was despite the amount of work he was doing really loving every moment of it. Which for most might be a little strange. Sitting down in the usual spot the Gryffindor prefect looked to the front of the room. He liked the things they'd be doing in the class. It was definitely good fun. And the water was useful. He was sure that this would be good fun too. The professor got her lesson started. Tybalt smiled happily as the professor told them what they'd be doing. Colour Changing, well, he was sure it would be fun. But he was sure that it would be better if he could see the colour in the first place. Which meant that he was maybe going to have a little trouble. He knew his hair was brown, and well, he hoped that would be get back to it's original colour. He sat watched the professor show them what it was like, finding that he could notice the slight differences between them. He was sure that he should just stick to whites, greys and blacks. He knew his hair was brown, but it wasn't like he could really see that. He looked in the mirror and when instructed to, raised the wand to his head, he'd turned it white, since he'd be able to see that. He tapped it three times, and then he watched his hair slowly change to that colour. He smiled slightly. Then he did it again, changing it to a grey colour. He smiled slightly, but as the lesson was then wrapped up he changed it back to the colour he was sure was right, though it was perhaps just a little bit brighter than his natural colour. Then he just gathered his things and left the room. [/justify] |
