Professor Jacqueline Black walked into her classroom with a smile. She had the pleasure of teaching the Seventh Years and was rather excited. The types of Transfiguration they would be learning this term were fun for her, more advanced than before. Hopping up on her desk, she quickly turned into her animagus form, sitting on her haunches on the desktop for the fun of it while she waited for the students to arrive. When all her students had arrived, she hoped off her desk, changing from her animagus form as she did so. She couldn't help but smirk a bit as there were a few students that were caught off guard, despite having seen her form in the classroom before. "Welcome back to Transfiguration! Let's get this party started since you have lots to learn and prepare for this year. I know you have your NEWTs looming at the end of the year and my goal is to make sure you are ready for them. We will cover a few new topics, but in the process of covering these, you will be revising for your exam." Professor Black smiled at the class then continued. "Today we are going to start with Untrasfiguration and reversal spells. Untransfiguration is returning something to its proper form. An perfect example of this is when you turned a beetle into a button. I know I always had fun turning them back into beetles after the class was over. Untransfiguration is essentially a reversal spell. We will learn more about these types of spells this term," she said pausing for a moment. Giving the students a once over, she realized that was enough talk for the day. "Ok. Time to do something a bit more fun. We are going to build a bit upon the conjuring you did as Sixth years. Remember, concentration is essential! Picture what you are wanting to conjure clearly and as detailed as possible in your mind's eye. Today we are going to work on chairs." With three taps in the air, Professor Black conjured a simple wooden chair as a demonstration for the class. "Don't stress yourself with anything extremely complex. Just imagine a plain wooden chair. The more complicated the chair the harder it is to create," she said. There were a few she knew would want to try a more complex chair, but she hoped they would wait until they at least have a simple wooden chair first. "This is a nonverbal spell, but it is important to use the three-tap method with your wand. Now, once you have a standard wooden chair, bring it up to me and we will test your work. Any questions?" she asked. Seeing none, she waved her hand at them. "Have at it! You have the rest of the class to practice. I will be here if you need any help." Professor Black moved to sit pretzel-legged on top of her desk, watching their work intently. RP the Lesson. Feel free to include an image if you wish. Just fire me a PM if you wish Jacqueline to participate in your lesson. This term will be RP based like the last two years have been. |

Brir entered the transfiguration classroom. this branch of magic quite interested her and although it wast her strongest subject which was care of magical creatures followed by charms, she still wanted to do well. it hadn't always interested her, but since she started undergoing monthly transformations she had started to be interested i what the class had to offer. she took her seat in the room her rowan and basilisk wand resting on the table. it was the start of the seventh year course and she knew that there would be a lot of work in the rest of the units but she hoped that this time she would be able to keep a little perspective and not got to worked up in everything. she listened as the professor spoke about what they would be doing. untransfiguration. that sounded interesting. making things back to what they were before. however today they would be conjuring a chair. when it was time to start she stood up, she always found spells easier to do standing up, and focused on the picture of a simple chair she had used many times in the past. she tapped her wand three times in the air and nothing happened. she closed her eyes and tried again still nothing. the third time she tried she opened her eyes and there was a chair floating in front of her however as soon as it touched the floor it fell over. apparently she wasn't concentrating well enough. she tried again but nothing happened. a couple of times later a usable chair was there in front of her. she smiled. and moved to a clear part of the room as there was plenty of space before trying a slightly more complex chair in the remaining minutes of class. just before the lesson ended she managed to make a simple armchair appear. she was quite proud of herself. as the professor checked them. once she was sure that they were holding she picked up her bag and made her way out to the grounds where she went for a run. |
