Locusta is the spell used. Professor Black was wandering around the classroom as the students arrived, placing a small box with holes in it on each desk. She had meant to get there early, but was running just a bit late. Today was going to be a fun lesson and she hoped the students would enjoy it as much as she hoped. "Welcome, welcome! I want to get things rolling quickly. Take a seat." She smiled as she placed the last box out and returned to her own desk in the front of the room. "Today we will be focusing on untransfiguration and nonverbal spells. Does anyone remember what Untransfiguration is?" she asked the class. A student raised their hand. "Yes?" she asked, pointing to the student who raised their hand first. She smiled at the correct answer. "You must have been paying attention last lesson. Great answer." She paused, then started to pace the aisle between the desks. "In the boxes on your desk you contain frogs. You will be transfiguring them into grasshoppers and back to frogs, using nonverbal spells. Just for review, who can tell me what the spell is for this transfiguration?" she asked. She nodded at another student, who gave her the correct spell. "Exactly." "The main thing to remember is to focus. You don't want to be thinking of a dog or cat and end up with a very odd animal. You will use the three tap method of course. You may verbalize the spell, but I would like each of you to also practice it non-verbally. You will change the frog to a grasshopper, then back to a frog, like this." She moved to the closest desk and opened the box. She took out the frog and placed it on the desk, tapping it three times. With a bit of a poof, the frog quickly became a grasshopper. Another three taps and the frog was back. "Any questions before we begin?" she asked. Seeing none, she gave the students the go ahead to start practicing. For the rest of the period, Professor Black walked around the room, helping and correcting the students. They were all doing fairly well and none of them had huge problems. She was pleased at the number of students who practiced the spell non-verbally right off. Soon, she had seen those who presented her with their grasshoppers and then again with frogs and dismissed the class. Homework: RP the lesson. First poster answer the first question, second person answer the second question. Good luck! |

[justify] Isabella Romanes could easily admit, as she walked through the doors of the Transfiguration classroom, that this was the best year of her life. She was happily in a relationship now, she felt like she was adored, much like her sister. She had a boyfriend, one that she could be with for a long time. It was very awesome, to say the least. She looked around and she took her seat where there was a box on the desk. The box on the desk had many holes in it, and she wondered what they were going to be doing. Soon enough the few seventh years that were taking the class were in here, and Isabella took a mental note that she would need to speak with Ostensia over how to be a good girlfriend. Already she knew, her first kiss with Demeter was not exactly...good. Stuff like that made her a little nervous to talk about though. Her mind was soon shaken from these thoughts, and she focused on the Transfiguration class. A question was asked, and Isabella raised her hand. She was chosen and she answered with, "Untransfiguration is the reversal of transfiguration spells." In the boxes in front of them were frogs, and they were going to be transfiguring them into grasshoppers and back again, nonverbally. That was going to be challenging. She remembered the spell. Locusta. Isabella did not have any questions before beginning, so she thought of the spell in her mind as she opened the box that contained the frog. She used the usual method of using the spell, and her frog soon turned into a grasshopper. Focusing, she tried, though it was on the second try did she manage to turn it back into a frog. She presented it to the professor, and soon enough it was time to go. Isabella packed her things, and she left the classroom for the time being.[/justify] |

Nadia made her way to Transfiguration which was a good class to her at least. She might not have liked the professor too much but she tried to put feelings aside. She took a seat after looking at the Slytherin Prefect, which wasn't much of a surprise. Shrugging, she took her seat and thought of how brilliant of a life she had. She was living with Tamalia, she was in her last year of school and she was dating the best boy in the world. Granted he had Graduated now, but that didn't matter to her. She planned on bringing him back to New Zealand with her. Alex believed that they should live in France, of course Nadia had different ideas. She planned on making him move to New Zealand. And she knew she could do it. He had better watch out now. She smiled at the professor as they were told to get on the ball with what they were going to be doing today. While today they were going to be continuing in Untransfiguration spells and nonverbal spells, Nadia hoped that they were not going to be working with something that crawled around. A couple of Questions were asked. One was answered by Isabella. But the second one was hers, with "Locusta". It was an easy question, but still. Even if she had to think twice on it and be sure that she was right in her head, In the box on her desk, she heard a croak, and her blue eyes glanced down to notice it for the first time. They were going to be turning them into grasshoppers and back again. That sounded easy, but she would have to work hard on it and never take it for granted. After the professor demonstrated, it was their turn. She thought of the spell in her head, and she did the three tap method on her frog before she watched it transform into a grasshopper. Doing it again, she managed to turn it back into a frog. She presented it before they were dismissed. She got her things and left without hesitation. |
