"Hey guys, welcome back! Please take your seats," Professor King said with a grin. "We've had some practice on Animate to Inanimate Transfiguration, so it's time to move on. We are going to move on to transfiguring an inanimate, or non-living object, into an animate, or living one. I've got quite a lot to teach you before you can attempt to cast a spell." The class groaned. They knew that 'I've got a lot to teach you' meant 'another theory session'. "Ah, get over it!" She laughed "Again, an inanimate object refers to any object that is nonliving. To change it into something animate, you will need to give your chosen object life. Sight, breath, limbs, anything that makes an animate object live. These types of transformations are immensely more difficult than inanimate to inanimate or animate to inanimate transformations, so please pay attention," she said as she flicked her wand at the blackboard.
"Just like other transfigurations, when transfiguring something that is not alive into something that is alive, you must first have a very clear mental image of the thing that you are transfiguring. Every little detail, whether it be the different shape of the eyes, the texture of the skin, the color of the object - all of it must be visualized in your mind at the time of casting for a transfiguration spell to take proper effect. Skipping this very important step will often result in a misshapen object, or a completely failed transfiguration altogether." Professor King paused for a bit, looking around to see if anyone was taking notes before continuing. "Any person that wishes to become successful at transfiguring inanimate objects must remember an important point: inanimate objects have no minds of their own. Not a single bit. All of it must be given by you, the caster. The first and most often forgotten step is that a button or a chess piece doesn't have a mind to control automatic responses or a thinking process. Therefore, when a wizard or witch casts a spell on an inanimate object and changes it into a living creature, they must create a brain for the object. A few thoughts about eating insects here, a long sticky tongue there, some slimy, bumpy skin, and you have created a frog. BUT, if this step is not performed correctly, then the object will change into the animal, but - it might be a dead one, or alive but unable to think or move." Ava then realized that the students were getting bored with a long lecture. It was a very important lesson, and she still had to talk about the wand movement for inanimate to animate transfiguration, but she understood that she would have been very bored as well; so to get their interest back and wake them up, she decided to show them some live transfiguration. "Let's try it then, shall we?" Professor King said with a grin. She pointed her wand at her chair and flicked her wand. Students laughed when they saw a monkey instead of a chair. The monkey began to walk around the class, dancing and swinging it's arms. The students laughed as they followed the monkey's progress through the room. "That is an example of Inanimate to Animate Transfiguration," Ava said as the class looked behind at the monkey. Before being able to continue, Professor King realized that their time was up "Oh dear, we are out of time," Ava stated with a smile. She had wanted to get to wand movement in today's class, but she had spent a lot of time talking, and then the monkey took up a bit of time too. "See you all next time!" she exclaimed happily, as students got up to head to their next class. After they had gone out, only Professor King and the monkey remained inside the classroom. She turned toward the monkey, wand in hand, ready to get her chair back. Homework: RP the lesson. |
