Upon entry into the Transfiguration classroom, each student was presented with a small cardboard box sitting atop their desks, a few shifting slightly in place whilst croaks sounded through holes randomly dotted along the boxes lids. Aeon sat comfortably in the throne he'd conjured from the previous lesson, a box of his own lain out across the table in front of him. He smiled as the seventh years took their seats and waved his wand at the door behind them. It shut with a quiet click.

"Hey guys! Welcome back. As you can see, we're going to be doing some more practical work this lesson." Summers announced once everyone had settled. He gestured briefly to the boxes before them. "Today, we'll be practicing Untransfiguration and performing non-verbal magic. Contained within the boxes you see are frogs. Now, if you think back to...third year, I believe, you might remember learning a spell to transfigure frogs into grasshoppers. Can anyone tell me the incantation?" The moment the professor finished the question, hands were up. He selected the first student to raise theirs, and received the answer. "Yes, exactly!"

"As always, the key to success here is focus and visualisation. See in your minds eye the frog becoming a grasshopper. Don't let your thoughts stray, else you might end up with an unpleasant outcome. I'd prefer all of you attempt the initial transfiguration non-verbally. Once you have your grasshopper, you'll need to attempt to untransfigure it. Like so."
Summers removed the lid from his own box and lifted out the frog, an ugly fat thing that was more spherical than anything. He tapped his wand thrice above it, and its slimy, green body shrank down and reassembled into a much smaller, brown speckled grasshopper. Before the insect could leap to freedom, he tapped it three times again and it immediately reverted to its original form. "Voila! Too easy. For me, at least. Don't be expecting to get it straight away. Good luck to you all though, and make sure you don't lose your frogs or grasshoppers. I'd prefer them not roaming around my classroom. Begin!"

Summers idly watched from his throne as the students got started on their tasks. A few of their amphibians attempted to hop away, but as they were all basically adults now, by wizarding standards, no one seemed to have any problems keeping things under control themselves. Once he had seen every student complete their transfiguration and reversal at least once, the class was dismissed and the boxes returned to his desk.

[justify]Killua had nothing better to do than enter Transfiguration class. After all, that was the only class he was going to do this semester and nothing else. Aside from not having the required grade, Killy was just not up for the rest of the classes available to him so he had just taken up Transfiguration upon his best friend's suggestion. He knew not whether the class was easy but all he knew was that this was a time for some shut-eye. And indeed, that was his current plan. His classmates could fuss out all they want, but he was going to have some rest. And so, as soon as he took his seat beside Abel, the Slytherin let his head slump onto the desk as he fell asleep. He woke up in minutes though thanks to the annoying croaks within the room. Seriously, can't a guy sleep in peace? And so, he opened the box in front of him and watch his classmates try the whatever spell. He just wanted this frog to shut up really. And so, he brought out his wand, focused his hazy thoughts and cast the spell wordlessly. The amphibian began to change, it's head turning to that of a grasshopper. But that was it. Well, at least it wasn't croaking anymore. And with that, he closed the box once more and resumed to his peaceful slumber and he had no plans of waking up till needed or till this class was done and over with.

"P. Thanks for trying, but laziness just doesn't cut it in my class."
