Canine Animagus ☼ Spell Inventor Magical Menagerie Proprietor Transfiguration Professor 1-4 Brodie's Familiar

Aeon was seated at his desk by the front of the class as his third years filed in, a large glass tank containing multiple frogs taking up most of the desks surface space. The books and writing equipment he usually kept on it had been cleared away, shoved carelessly into a drawer to make room for the amphibians terrarium. Once everyone had taken their seats, he rose from his so the could all see him more clearly, rather than through glass, and began.

"Hey guys! So, today we'll be starting on Animate to Animate Transfiguration for the first time. I hope you're all excited. We've completed all of the easy stuff and now we're on to the intermediate areas. As you can see, we will be beginning practice using some frogs. I ordered too many for the Magical Menagerie so I don't have the space for them. In the mean time, we can use them for your studies." The professor stated, always happy to mention his store and urge people to buy from it. Everyone should have a pet. Everyone.

"Anyway, you'll all be learning how to transfigure these guys into grasshoppers. Some of you might be a little reluctant because you claim to be against animal mistreatment or whatever else you think makes you look like a good person, but transfiguration is not a painful process to undergo, even if its muddled up. I don't advise doing that though, its still uncomfortable to be stuck between species. But again, does not actually cause pain. Moving on. This type of transfiguration is referred to as Cross-Species Transfiguration, so keep that in mind. Naturally it requires a lot more concentration and visualization when performing this type of magic, so make sure you concentrate." He stopped speaking, making sure that everyone was paying close attention to what he was saying. He didn't want to have to deal with any mistakes. Once he was sure that he had everyone's full attention, he stepped back over to the terrarium and lifted out a large brown frog and set it on the little free space he had on his desk. It hopped from end to end, but seemed unsure as to whether or not it should try jump off of it.

"So, first of all we'll start with the correct wand movement. With this spell, you simply need to make sure you have a straight arm and point your wand directly at the frog. Like so." He stated, extending his arm toward the amphibian so that his wand hovered just inches away from it. "Be aware they'll be hopping about, so just adjust accordingly. Once you're sure you've got it...Locusta!" Summers incanted, shifting the frog into a small, bright green grasshopper. It hopped towards the floor and he quickly motioned with his wand again, freezing it in mid-air. "Whoops. Just be sure to keep track of your froghopper, whichever species it is at the time. Avoid creating an actual frog/grasshopper hybrid though. I don't want to see anyone leave their seats for the entire duration of this lesson. Can't have you stepping on the animals you're working with. The incantation if you missed it is Locusta, which I'll write up on the board behind me. As soon as you're ready, come grab a frog. We have about thirty minutes, let's go!"
