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!

Minoas was overly enjoying this semester's transfiguration classes. Most people would consider conjuring a challenging branch of magic but the sixth year had no trouble excelling in it. He had to sucrifice hours of leisure time on it but more like a pleasant hobby to him rather than a boring school assignment. Minoas arrived at the fifth floor and the transfugiration classroom pretty confident about his ability to conjure water and flowers so far. He sat down at the front row and saw his soulful, grey eyes looking startled at himself. There was a mirror attached on its desk and Minoas realized that today's conjuring would have something to do with their own appearance. Minoas wasn't used to stare himself in a mirror. He was rarely using one while he was letting his light brown hair messy spiky and his few days stubble to show. An exception was occuring each time he was going to meet with Artemis but other than that sitting ad staring at himself through the mirror was somewhat awkward. Thankfully the professor soon explained the purpose of all those mirrors and in the room and Minoas watched her demonstrating the non-verbal spell on her own hair while he was thinking, he would never change his own hair color. It was good to know they were only going to practise on their eyebrows although it wasn't going to be less comical. In a matter of minutes the room was full of students of different colored eyebrows. After a few attempts Minoas watched his own eyebrows turning from light brown to indigo. He chuckled when he saw them then turning peach and after a couple of times he grimaced when they took an awful moss green color. Thinking that he could apply this technique to colorize the jets of his newly created spells, he left the room when the class was dismissed with his left eyebrow still in a bronze color.

[justify]The fourth week of lessons came just too soon for the Hufflepuff Prefect, Proserpina Laurent. Getting dressed, the young blonde hurried down to the classroom that she was due to attend to. This week, they were going to be doing something interesting in Transfiguration class. Proserpina was really lucky to have attended this class for so long. She managed to get past the OWL, and she was that much closer to becoming a healer. She really wanted to become a nurse and be able to help someone, but she did not know what field that she wanted to be in just yet, and she was really looking forward to doing something good for the society. It was something she really wanted in life. She took her seat and she waited for the professor to begin the class. It would not take long since there were not many sixth years left!

Looking at the mirror on her desk, she wondered what they were going to be doing today. They would be going over a fun topic? That sounded fun to her! Even if she did not know what it was immediately. She still wanted to have fun today, and fun in class was just great to the Prefect. Today they were going over color-changing spells, and it was a bit of nonverbal magic. Proserpina had issues with that already with Lumos and Nox coming rough to her. However maybe Transfiguration spells would be much easier. The professor demonstrated on how to do it, which was thought and three taps. Now it was their turn to get it done! She thought of what color to change her hair before she figured that it would be a pretty blue color, almost like Ravenclaw’s! She tapped her hair three times and concentrated. Her hair changed to a brilliant blue. She then changed it to yellow. Then she went to the professor to get it changed back as they were free to go.
