Professor Summers waited in front of his desk for the students to arrive. There was a tiny jar on his desk, though the contents weren't visible unless you leaned right down to it. As the class walked in, they didn't notice the jar. Once they had taken their seats, Aeon walked to the front of the classroom.

"Hello there! I'm not going to do too much talking today, so let's get on to it." Professor Summers smiled as he waved his wand at the jar. It floated up off his desk and into his hand. "Ok, in this jar are matches. I would like each of you to walk up to me and carefully take a match. Single file now, and don't push anyone." With some clatter, the students scooted out their chairs and walked up to him.

Once everyone had a match, Professor Summers put the jar back down and turned to the students. He held out his hand which was holding a match. "Today we are going to turn matches to needles. Of course we will be using the 'three tap' motion with our wand as usual and the incantation is 'Flammeus Tailora'." Professor Summers tapped his wand in the palm of his hand three times and said "Flammeus Tailora". In the blink of an eye the match turned into a needle. "It is that simple. Well, as always, I will be walking around the room as you work. If you need something, raise your hand. At the end of the class, I need you to turn your needles back in. Now, you may begin."

Bleaire followed in line to get one of the matches in the jar that Professor Summers is holding. She then went back to her seat while waiting for more instruction.

Yeheey! They're actually gonna use magic now. Ok, so a three tap motion with the wand and then the incantation, how hard could it be...
But first she wrote the incantation to make sure she won't be saying something off.

Flammeus Tailora
- for turning a match stick to a needle

Well it sounds like flame in flammeus for the matchstick and tailor from tailora for the needle. How nice would it be if incantations are that easy to remember.
Bleaire then realized she was stalling and was wasting precious time. So she proceeded. A three tap motion and "Flammeus Tailora" while pointing the wand to the matchstick.

Well, it didn't really work out as easy as Bleaire expected but after a few tries she finally got it... After they were dismissed, she then returned the needle back in the jar and went to leave.

[justify]Miya was exhausted and didn't want to go to class, but she also did not want to miss Transfiguration. The lessons were fascinating enough to make her put up with the difficultly. Spells were difficult for her. Miya struggled to pronounce everything correctly and was certain she was going to be the worst witch in the history of Hogwarts. Miya lined up with the rest of the class and took a match.

She tapped her wand three times and tried to cast the spell. "Flammeus Tailora" The incantation made her think of a tailor sewing clothes out of fire and Miya wished she could learn to do something like that, but clothes made of flames would undoubtedly be dangerous and scare muggles, and Miya didn't think her father would approve at all. The match turned into a needle immediately and Miya held it up to examine. Turning an unlit match into a needle made it suddenly dangerous and Miya was fascinated and a little bit unnerved by the spell. She returned the needle to the jar and left the classroom as the lesson ended.

Eleanor tried not to keep reminding herself that exams were only around the corner as she entered the Transfiguration Classroom. They stressed her out too much and she was really not in the mood for anything today. Her sister was barely anywhere to be found at times like this and Eleanor could only imagine how long she'd stay up at night to study for the exams. Eleanor was not like that though and would much rather wing it to the best of her ability than to waste time studying for something that is probably going to have no effect on her when she's older. It wasn't that she didn't take pride in her education, she was just lazy. She took a seat in the middle of the room and listened carefully to what the professor said. Today they were going to be using their wands and Eleanor almost jumped out of her seat, very excited for what was to come. She had been waiting for that moment her whole life and was extremely excited.

When the professor had finished what he was saying and the rest of the class started to begin, Eleanor thought she should begin too and tapped on her match three times before saying the incantation. "Flammeus Tailora." she said, trying her best to sound confident. The match didn't do anything and Eleanor frowned at it. Her match was most likely broken. She tried again though and the tip of the match had turned silver, indicating that she was almost there. It took the whole lesson for it to finally work and when it did, Eleanor took a big sigh of relief. She would have to practice that more but for now she was off to the Great Hall for some food. She was hungry after using so much of her energy and knew that the Great Hall was the best place for her at times like this.

Danyel made his way to transfiguration, taking a seat that was left as he didn't much mattered where he was seated. He did look at the jar but didn't pay too much attention as he listened to the professor. While he quietly took out his parcment and ink, trying to look prepeared.

Seeing all the other students walk up to the jar as he waited for the others, he stood up as one of the last ones and grabbed himself a match taking out his wand he followed the instruction. Tapping his wand three times he pointed it at the match and said "Flammeus Tailora" making the match turn into a needle, he nodded a little being reliefed that it actually worked for him.

After everything was done he was one of the last to bring his needle back to the jar, as he wondered what else they might learn in Transfigurations.

[justify]Sianna had a lot of things going on, far more than she would've expected so early on in her school career, mostly boiling down to the fact she'd been recruited to be a part of the yearbook team, it had come as a bit of a surprise originally, but she found having to study under the strange sixth year slytherin to be stressful, it wasn't that he wasn't nice, but more that he wasn't exactly bright, and Sianna had to resist the urge to be constantly correcting him on everything he did wrong, for one thing, in his photography he had no technique barely knowing how exactly the camera work, or what the buttons did, where Sianna might take five minutes to get the shot, he would take no time and it didn't mean that the picture was any less good. The young girl knew the experience and working at the school in doing this would be a good thing when she left school, even if she didn't want to pursue photography. there little time to really ponder this as the time for classes approached, and Sianna gathered her things and left the room, heading straight for the classroom.

Sianna walked into the transfiguration classroom and took her usual spot in the room, she glanced to the front where the professor was stood and began the lesson, telling them all to get to their feet and take a match from the front, which she did easily, without needing to push or shove, once she had returned to her spot and everyone finally had a match the professor actually got started on the lesson, telling them exactly what they would be doing, showing them how they would do it, what it would be transformed into and the incantation, Sianna followed along, writing down small notes for each one, it wasn't long after that the lesson was handed over to them, and Sianna got to actually try it, she imagined turning the match into a needle, muttered the spell a few times over to be sure she'd gotten it right and then pointed her wand at it, tapping it three times before saying, "Flammeus Tailora," she said with all the confidence she could muster and before her eyes the match changed into a needle. She tested the sharp point against her finger before handing in the needle and when instructed to then leaving the room.
