"Welcome back to another year of Transfiguration guys. You all know who I am, but for those who may have transferred or were recently on the receiving end of a poorly used memory charm, I am Professor Aeon Summers." Aeon said with a grin. "Let's get right down to business, shall we?" He waved his wand at the board and as with the previous years, the chalk sprang to life and got to work.

Imbuing objects with magic: Switching Spells
"This year we are going to focus primarily on switching spells. Who can tell me what switching spells are? As self explanatory as it is." He looked around, not surprised by the many raised hands, and pointed to a student sitting near the front of the class.

"Switching spells are those spells that switch two objects with each other."

"Correct! Two points for you. Now switching spells may seem like useless spells at first, but after a while you'll see their potential. Their major use is in trickery. Many objects at prank shops are imbued with switching spells." He fondly recalled his time spent at joke shops when he was younger. Wands turning into chickens were a good example of the spell.

One of the students raised their hand.

"What does imbue mean, professor?"

Summers considered the question for a moment, wondering how to phrase it. "It means...to put one item, idea, or in this case spell, into a second one." He explained as simply as he could.

With that. he flicked again at the blackboard, making appear what looked like an assignment.

"Unfortunately, I'll have to leave a more in depth explanation for a later class. For now, I'll need everyone to complete the task written on the board. I hope everyone has their writing utensils. You can submit the assignment before you leave class today."
Homework: For extra credit, you have several options:
1) Essay: Write everything on what you know about switching spells.
2) Essay: Write a trick that was performed on you or someone else. You can use something from an RP, you can use a real historical trick that you researched, or you can make one up. If there are any spells involved, please state them. Please have this be 250-350 words.
3) Draw a picture (by dolling, blending, using artpad, or whatever) with the same theme as #2.Transfiguration,4,1

Eleanor didn't want to go back to school. School meant that she didn't have time anymore to go to the sweet shop and buy anything she wanted. Instead, it meant sitting in a classroom listening to boring lectures. On the bright side, at least she was able to see that boy from the Yuleball again if she had the chance to. As the girl entered the Transfiguration classroom, she took her usual seat in the room and waited for the lesson to begin. This year they would be learning about switching spells. Eleanor tried her best to listen to what the professor had to say about them and put her hand up tentatively to ask a question. "What does imbue mean, professor?" she asked. Ellie didn't bother to write any notes down on what he said but she nodded at his answer nonetheless, figuring she would remember it. When the lesson ended, Eleanor quickly left the classroom and headed to her next class.

Lilyanna was very glad to be back at school. She had missed going to classes and learning new things and was quite proud of herself for the grades she managed to get last semester. The classes she had to do this semester she wasn't very good at but she hoped that, with the help of Andrew and Daniel, she'd be able to get through them. Her first class of the semester was Transfiguration. She made her way there with the rest of her year group and took her usual seat at the front of the classroom as she waited for the lesson to begin. Switching spells seemed extremely interesting and Lilyanna couldn't wait to learn about them. Her hand went straight up in the air when the professor asked what they were. "Switching spells are those spells that switch two objects with each other." she said confidently, and smiled when the professor told her that she was correct. When the lesson ended she left with a good amount of notes and headed to her next class.

[justify]The recent headache with Lennon aside the ravenclaw was feeling pretty good about what she was facing in this semester. She had done well in the last one, and knew she could do just as well if not better in this one too. Though there was little way to go up from where she was. Sianna did have more on her plate during this semester, though most of the large school events were done there were still a few left and then there was the oh so simple method of picking the pictures to use, and it took a while, Sianna took a lot of pictures, she knew it was better to have too many than too few. The teen was getting ready for the day, she had finished her own little schedule, and she was trying her best to find a place for all of the things she had to do. It was working out just fine, a few things needed moved around but that was about it. Everything else was fine. She was getting ready for the day, brushing her hair carefully, putting it up in a ponytail and then gathering the right books for the lessons that she had that day.

The ravenclaw walked into the transfiguration classroom and looked to the professor as she took her seat. The girl couldn't help but wonder what this class might have in store for them over the coming weeks, whether it would be largely theory or if they would be doing just a little bit more than that. Either way, it wasn't like she was overly bothered as long as they were just learning something. She looked at the board as the man waved his hand and made something appear on the board behind him, clearly it was what they would be covering during the lesson, during the semester. Switching spells. Of course the girl had seen both of her parents use this spell on multiple occasions but she was eager to learn it herself. Sianna listened to Lilyanna as she said what the spells meant, which seemed obvious, and listened as the professor continued with the lecture. Although this was interrupted with a question about the meaning of one of the words. And though Sianna was sure that she knew what it meant, it was nice to have the professor explain it, just to be sure that she was right. This however appeared to be all the lecture would involve. She wasn't too bothered by this fact, given what they would be learning over the semester.

[justify]While his situation with Elysia was still as unexplained as ever, he felt in a definitely better position moving forward. He was fairly happy that he didn’t have much on his plate so he could spend a bit more time thinking about it. He didn’t usually want to spend his time thinking about girls but this, with her seemed as good a time as any to begin doing so. The teen was getting ready for the day, getting his books in order, organising them so they were right and focusing his attention on what they would be doing in the classes, since it was the first week he assumed that it would be very little that they wouldn’t be focusing on much besides what they would be learning in the class. He had decided once more to do the duelling tournament, certain that he had gotten better and that he would do better overall, he wasn’t going to lose to Elysia, but he knew he was never actually going to win. The teen was just happy to try his skills again. The boy cast those thoughts out of his mind and then gathered the rest of what he would need before leaving for the class.

Zared had problems as he grew older with a lot of the spell casting classes so he was tentative about transfiguration this semester. He could do the theory work, but practical was proving to have a lot more trouble that he had anticipated. However, given that this was the first week, he felt pretty certain that all they'd be doing was theory. He took his seat within the class, as always with Lestat and let his gaze settle upon the professor at the front. He was once again surprised that they would be in their last semester with this man as their professor. He didn't like this professor much either, good at his job sure, but he didn't like him. Zared listened to his lecture, to the switching spells that they would obviously be doing over the coming semester. he knew what they were, it was fairly self explanatory, but listening to the answer one of the other students gave reaffirmed it in his head. He didn't care much about the term the professor had used, but listened regardless to the explanation given. With that the lesson was brought to an end, it hadn't been particularly complex, which he was pretty happy about, and it gave him a full week to get some background knowledge about switching spells to then be able to do them.

[justify]The hufflepuff was rather eager to just get started, his grades from the last semester had improved, which was a good thing, he was happy with it, just one A, and the rest EE’s. It wasn’t as good as it could be as others in his years were but he was pretty happy with it regardless. He was trying his best and it was paying off. He had decided to become more involved, with no clue what he wanted to do after school and poor grades he knew he needed to focus. Of course Quidditch was his best option, he knew he could at the very least start at that point, but there was so much more that he could also focus on. He had signed up for duelling which was a first for the hufflepuff and he was just trying his best to put himself truly out there in the world. The teen was happy, he wasn’t doing too badly he thought, he was managing. He had a few more classes during this semester so he was keen to get started on the studying he needed to do for them, keen to just get started on the classes in general.

Ares walked into the transfiguration classroom and took a seat within the room. He was happy with how the first week back at school had been going so far and was pretty happy with the classes in general. he had quite a full time table and he was trying his best to do better in all of his classes in general which was more difficult with so many but he was trying his best. The teen looked towards the professor at the front of the room as he began his lesson. Telling them what they would be covering over the semester which turned out to be switching spells. He nodded along and wrote down a few bits and pieces about what the man was saying. Listening closely to Ellie's twin's answer to the question. The professor used a word that while he was sure he knew he didn't entirely understand so, the hufflepuff raised his hand and asked, "What does imbue mean, professor?" and he was very happy that he did ask it. Happy to have a better understanding of what the professor meant. With that the lesson appeared to be over, the teen packed up his things and left the room.

[justify]It was a new school year and Lennon was excited and ready for it. He was taking a lot more classes than before because he was still unsure what he wanted to do as he got older. The thought was worrying but he hoped he could keep up with his classes and find out what he was meant to do as he took these lessons. So far, Transfiguration had always been his favorite subject, it was the epitome of the type of greatness magic was all about. He walked into the classroom and took a seat just as the professor got started with the lesson. He wondered if he should take out his supplies for note taking and decided to do so just in case. He raised his hand along with several others but the professor chose someone else so Lennon put his hand back down. He quickly jotted down a few notes of what Professor Summers said, and he wondered if the professor would show them an example of a switching spell. Unfortunately, the lesson was over, so there wasn't much time left for the professor to show them, but he did promise to go further into detail about the spell this year so Lennon wasn't too discouraged. He quickly wrote down the homework assignment and then packed up his things and then left the classroom, trying to recall any time in which he had experienced a switching spell but nothing came to mind at the moment.
