Professor Summers stood in the direct centre of the classroom, wand in hand as each of the students desks were moved into line along the far walls, giving the room a much more spacious feel. Though, with the desks moved, evidence was left in the form of clean, albeit slightly scratched squares on the tiled flooring, the spots once occupied by their wooden legs. With a few waves of his wand, bubbles and soapy suds appeared and snaked along the floors, encircling the room until most of the dust was cleared and the scratches mended. Aeon wasn't the best at domestic magic, but he had done a pretty decent job. The professor circled the room, examining the flooring for any remaining marks until he was interrupted by his students, arriving to see their usual seating had been shuffled around. Returning to the middle of the room, Aeon smiled at them. "Hey guys. Sorry, I was just preparing for today's lesson. One moment." he explained before gesturing once more with his wand. The desks shifted their shape, creaking and changing as wooden arms crept up the backside of each, forming a single large circle containing a vanity mirror. Summers dropped his arm once more, every student now able to see his or her own reflection.

"Alright, pick a seat, any seat. Today's lesson will involve you needing to be able to see yourself, at least until you become practiced in what we will be learning today." The Professor grinned, waiting for each of his pupils to find a spot, some recognizing what used to be their usual desk. With everyone seated, he began. "Today we will be performing transfiguration, surprise, but this time - On ourselves. You will be working with a spell that is capable of changing your ears, specifically. To start off with, we will be transfiguring our ears into the ears of a goat. If you don't remember what a goat's ears look like, or for some reason have never seen a goat, I have drawn an accurate representation as an example on the board." As he finished speaking, the blackboard at the back of the room flipped to show a majestic work of art.

Clearing his throat, the professor continued. "As we progress through the lesson, you may attempt other types of ears, however, as this is a form of human transfiguration, it is a lot more complex than things we've learned previously and it will take you some time to really master the spell, so don't expect it to be easy. A quick warning before we start practicing;" He stopped, looking around the room with a serious expression, something he didn't have too often. "The Ministry would like to remind you that, whilst using transfiguration on someone else can be a fun prank, if its non-consensual you are at risk of coming under harsh punishment. It's very easy for this kind of magic to go wrong. Think before using it on anyone other than yourself." He reminded them, though they'd already been reminded of this rule multiple times in the past.

"So with that out of the way. Lets begin. As I said, human transfiguration is more complex and requires a lot more concentration. With enough practice, however, you will be able to cast this non-verbally. In the meantime, we'll be performing this verbally. Now, the incantation is Auris and its the standard three-tap method." To demonstrate, Aeon tapped his wand at his ears. They grew and expanded like giant saucers until they eventually stopped, in the form of large elephant ears. Aeon felt that if he flapped them, he would be in danger of flying away. Another three taps and his ears resembled a rabbits. Three more and they appeared pointed and elven. "There's a lot of creativity with this spell, once you master it. If you're unhappy with my depiction of a goat, you should find that there are already photographs of real ones on your desks for reference. You may begin. I'll be around if you need any help."

[justify]Another week. Another day. Another lesson for Killua Freecss. And it would be a total lie if he as much as uttered that he liked it. No. He would rather have the day to himself within the dormitory or within the library lounging about and letting himself get lost within books. But nooooo. He just had to agree with Abel that taking Transfiguration would be fun. He should have known that it was either he and Abel had very different concepts of fun or his best friend had tricked him into entering a class the former assassin would find to be a complete snore-fest. Today, he merely sat on his seat and listened to the professor's lecture. Hey, maybe he should give the class a chance this once. And he did. Though what he found for this lesson was more boring than the previous. Seriously? Turning human ears into goat ears? Couldn't his professor be more creative than that? And besides why would he even want to turn his own ears into goat ears? This professor must be seriously demented. And so, with a shake of his head and before his professor could even demonstrate how it could be done, the younger slumped his head on his desk and started to snake into a peaceful slumber. Sleep was more important than goat ears. And this time, he was determined to not be awakened until this class was over. He'd do without seeing Abel or anyone else in goat ears really.

"Dreadful. Do not bother returning to this class unless you have any desire to bother participating."
