Transfiguration 7:2

Professor Lyra Potter was wandering around the classroom as the students arrived, placing a small box with holes in it on each desk. "Welcome! I want to get things rolling quickly. Take a seat." She said cheerfully 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 nodded. "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.



Homework: RP the lesson. First poster answer the first question, second person answer the second question. Good luck!
 
Mikael entered the classroom quietly, eyes wandering towards the box on his desk. His eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of the holes on it. Whatever was inside, it was alive. He sat, and listened as the professor launched into the lesson. He clenched his jaw when frogs and grasshoppers were mentioned. And here he thought he was done with these infernal creatures. At least he didn't have to touch them anymore. He opened the box with a hover charm on the lid, and petrified the creature inside - both done nonverbally. He didn't want te thing escaping after all. Three taps. Image. Intention. Control. The frog turned into a grasshopper with a poof - and he petrified it again for good measure. He stared intently at the creature, his jaw clenching harder as he concentrated. Three taps. The grasshopper vanished, replaced by the frog once more. Good. Now he can leave.
 
It seemed the novelty of being taught by an increasing roster of family members hadn’t quite worn off on Bailey and would likely remain until she finished her time at Hogwarts. She settled into her seat in Aunt Lyra’s classroom and listened as she began to discuss Untransfiguration, raising her hand when asked what it was. “Untransfiguration is returning something to its proper form”. She said confidently, remembering it from their first lesson. Bailey took notes as Lyra explained further, but the main takeaway seemed to be focus. She could do that. Once the lesson was over, Bailey packed up and made her way out of the classroom.
 
Hinata went to class and took a seat. She listened to the quick lecture and then went to practice untransfiguration on the frog on her desk. It took a few tries until she was successful.
