Moving about the room, Professor Jacqueline Black quickly transfigured the desks to have a large, lighted mirror attached to them so the students would have an easier time of working with the spell. Just as she finished, the students started to file in and stopped, looking a bit confused. "Come in, come in. Grab a seat! We have a fun topic to cover today and I want to let you have plenty of time to practice!" Professor Black motioned to the modified desks, smiling at the students confusion. She moved quickly to the front of the room and hopped up on top of her own desk, folding her legs pretzel-style and clasping her hands, resting her elbows on her knees. Assessing the group before her, she counted heads to make sure all were present before continuing. "Alright. Today we are going to cover color-changing spells. This is a bit of non-verbal magic that you should be able to accomplish with a bit of practice. We are going to work on something small, then you can work up from there." She picked up her wand from her lap, and twirled it in her hands. "Color changing will be achieved by following a few simple steps. First off, you need to concentrate. Picture in your head the object you are trying to change the color of clearly. You want to make sure that you are not distracted so that you don't have any issues with your transfiguration. Second, you want to picture the object changing to the color you want. The more detailed the image in your head, the better your end result will be. Third, tap the object three times." She brought her wand up to her hair, tapping it three times. It quickly changed from its dark blonde color to a vibrant green. Tapping it again, it was a brilliant sky blue. Once again, and it became a hot pink shade. Professor Black hopped down from the desk, leaving her hair the last color she had played with. "Now its your turn. Don't forget to concentrate and don't panic! I am here to help you fix any mishaps you might have. It might take a few tries to get it right, but don't give up. I want you to work on a smaller item -- your eyebrows. Now, give it a try, using the mirror to help you out. Have fun!" She gave them a friendly smile and began to wander around the room, watching for successes and for those who need a bit of help. Too soon, the class period was over and she restored those who were successful back to normal. As the last student left the room, she restored her own color back from the pink before setting the classroom up for the next group to come in. Homework: Simply rp the lesson. Have any mishaps you wish! Have fun! |

[justify] Any sort of spell that Isabella was learning was not sticking at all. Isabella was still getting hang of that spell that conjured water. Chairs were good, but they often fell apart. Isabella Romanes must not have been putting as much strength in the spells as she used to. She entered the Transfiguration classroom with her head down, her blonde hair straightened and her magenta eyes not looking from place to place. Then she looked up to see that there was something different in the room, something that was not that easy to miss. There were mirrors attached to each desk. Now this was weird. She approached a desk and took her seat, where her magenta eyes looked upon her own reflection in what felt like weeks since she never used mirrors for make up or anything. Professor Black seemed lively today as she greeted the students as they filed into the classroom, and Isabella could not help it when she raised an eyebrow and saw that the professor was on top of the desk, sitting informally. It was never long until the lesson truly began, and Isabella let out a sigh of relief. They were going to be covering color-changing spells, which sounded much easier than conjuring, but it was a bit of nonverbal magic. They were soon told the steps, but her mind was still focused on the fact that it would be nonverbal. She had issues with that. However she kept in mind what she needed to do, and watched the professor change her hair color, several times to very bright shades that did not suit her at all. And her hair was still that pink color, enough to make her cringe. Isabella looked into the mirror, and she knew that she wanted. She had always wanted to have silver hair, not gray, but liquid silver. She took out her wand, and she held it by her hair, and she thought of what she wanted, and did not let any other color of thought come into her mind. She tapped her hair three times, before she saw her blonde hair melting away to a silvery color. A Slytherin silver. Isabella smirked slightly, but she didn't want to mess it up. It just looked strange on her right now. After the class was over, her hair returned to blonde thanks to Professor Black before she left the classroom in a hurry.[/justify] |

He was animated today, seriously animated. Today he tried something else from the joke shop and this time it did not affect his magic. He would know since he used a few spells on his way over here. He tried changing a rock to a toad, but was half way successful when his animated mind told him to go to class. So he ran like through the crowds of student and did not slowly down till he his toe hit the door. He was sorry for making such noise, but once your brain was animated the rest of his day would be like this. So he quickly docks his head inside the classroom and sat down at his desk. He was staring at his own reflection; his eyes were a bit red and itchy. He really needed to stop depriving himself from sleep; otherwise he wouldn’t have to take joke shop candy just so he could stay awake. It was becoming a bad habit for the seventeen year old. A newly form habit, he thought it would help him it only made things worse for him. Just two days ago he was drinking six cups of coffee, way to go with his sixth year. Nothing could ever go right for him when he wanted. He hated his dysfunctional personality, looks is nothing if you were mentally a little misunderstood. Least he could perform spells right? It’s not like he was mad with a stick? He smirked at that thought crossed his mind. Again the whole Divination lesson had a lot to blame for; he was practicing it more and more. It was becoming a part of him more, and that was good right? He needed and wanted to get into the Ministry of Magic and the department he was going for had a lot to do with unknown magic. He couldn’t wait to be done with school, physically he was exhausted but it be all worth it once he was accepted in that department. Dymetris practice his spell for the day. He put a lot of effort into make his eyebrows fiery red, it looked so cool when he got it right. Course it took a lot of him to do and once he was able to focus enough he was able to do the rest. This will be easy with nonverbal magic. He changed his eyebrows a few shades of yellow, when he was done the professor changed it back to normal. |

Transfiguration was quickly turning into the class she waited all week for. She was good at it now that she had her voice back and that she had other blocks removed from her mind. She was able to take the bubbles out the water she created now and make flat water. Her other Transfiguration spells where going well to, having been able to make the magical version of a clock radio no too long ago. It had been a small side project she had made for herself. It had taken her weeks but she had managed it and now it served as her alarm. It had a tendency to pick the music that it seemed to know would wake her up in a good mood so she hoped it stayed together for as long as it could. Sapphire came into the room at took a seat at one of the mirrored desks and looked at herself. She rarely did anything to her hair anymore because she liked the naturally messy look even though it made her look a bit weirder than she would have. Not that Sapphire minded being weird at all. With the words of RHI fading into the background of life Sapphire was having an easier time. She listened and watched as Professor Black started to change the color of her hair and smiled wide. This was handy when one didn't want to mess around with dies. Sapphire was itching to try it out herself after her hair went a violent pink. Sapphire took in the details of her curls, recording each one in her mind before she tapped her hair three times and made her hair go a violent red. Deciding she looked like she was bleeding a bit. Sapphire pictured another color. She tapped her hair three times again and made her hair go a bubble gum blue. This one she liked. She did as the teacher suggested and tried the spell on her eyebrows. She made them match the color of her hair. Sapphire looked at the effect and laughed to herself. This was too cool and she could see herself as one of those Japanese girls that went around with wild colored hair. After class was over Sapphire didn't take the spell off her hair. She was going to keep it for as long as it took for the spell to break down. |

Lapis stared in confusion around the classroom. Why did all of the desks have mirrors attached? When she sat down, she could barely see Professor Black without leaning around the mirror. Lapis had always liked the idea of mirrors, the fact that a bit of glass and mercury could show you what you looked like. But surely this was going too far. Then the Professor started changing the colour of her hair. Suddenly, Lapis understood the point of the mirrors. The class had discussed the possibility of changing the colour of hair with magic a long time ago, and now they would finally get to practise it! She was quite disappointed when the Professor added the proviso that they would only be changing their eyebrows. Lapis stared at hers in the mirror for a while. They were narrow, and black like the rest of her hair. It felt strange to tap her eyebrows with a wand,but as soon as Lapis did it the spell started to work. She grinned at her reflection, her left eyebrow her favourite shade of dark blue. Why it hadn't worked with both simultaneously Lapis didn't know, but she soon changed the other one as well. She was tempted to just leave the room with her eyebrows this colour, see who noticed and how many odd looks she got. But she knew that she didn't know how to remove the spell herself, so she went to ask the Professor to do it. |

Faxen walked into the Transfiguration classroom and came to a dead stop in the doorway. What in the world was going on here? Every desk had a vanity mirror attached to it. All it all, it made the classroom look very strange. Faxen walked towards her desk, wondering what Professor Black had planned for them today. It was bound to be very interesting. Faxen smiled at Dymetris next to her as he looked to be in a cheerful mood. She chatted quietly with him as her patience was tried. She really wanted Professor Black to hurry up and start this lesson! Without much more delay, Professor Black began the lesson. Today, she was teaching them how to change hair colors. Faxen was awed as Professor Black began to change her hair color. The Gryffindor prefect could hardly believe her eyes. The professor left her hair a bright pink color. Faxen smiled at the teacher who could sometimes seem scary. They were told they would just be changing the color of their eyebrows. Faxen looked in the mirror, concentrating on her eyebrow. She imagined it a shade of purple while pointing her wand at her eyebrow. It wasn't a gesture that she really felt comfortable with. Suddenly, her dark eyebrow changed colors. Faxen gasped involuntarily. She quickly changed the other eyebrow to the exact shade of purple. The Gryffindor girl grinned, pleased with herself. |
