First Years, Lesson Four: Learning Scriopea (quill into spoon)
Edward was the type of man who can spend an age pondering a decision, but once his mind was made up, little to nothing could deter him away from it, and becoming an animagus was no exception. He was now on the second step of the process and realised that it was either now, or wait another month to complete a rather difficult step of carrying a single mandrake leaf in his mouth for a month. He carried on teaching, but his voice muffled. "Welcumb bback firsh years, how aw we all feewing?" He asked them as they settled down for the lesson, now they had covered the very basics, the students were going to get to try practical Transfiguration today. "We’re moofing onto pwactical Twansfiguwation t'day. Take out yw qwill and wand." He turned around and grabbed his own quill from his desk and took out his wand. The leaf made teaching difficult, but he made use of the blackboard behind him
To spare the class, he wrote the next instructions on the board:
We're changing our quills into spoons today. In Transfiguration, focus and imagination are essential because if you can’t visualise the outcome, the spell won’t work. You're altering an object's very structure, so concentration is crucial. We'll use the 'three tap' method and the incantation is Scriopea.
"Scriopea!" Professor Pirrip tapped the quill three times and said the incantation. In front of their eyes, his quill turned into a silver spoon, with feathery patterns lined through its metal to hint at what it had once been. He picked up his new spoon and held it up to the class.
More writing on the board:
This is what you should end up with, though your spoons may vary depending on what you imagined. Mine is silver, but some of you might end up with something a bit rusty the first time.
Now, you might wonder, 'Why bother turning a quill into a spoon?' The truth is, it’s not practical. What matters is mastering the process and building experience, even with something as random as this."
Don't forget, three taps, and 'Scriopea'. I will be walking around as you do this. Please hold off leaving at the end of the lesson until I have changed your spoons back into your quills.
Edward usually invited questions at the end of the lesson, but today he did not, and abruptly disappeared into his office after dismissing the class.
Note: "Finite" is a counter-spell, not Untransfiguration, and shouldn't be used to reverse any transfigurations.
Homework: RP trying to turn your quill into a spoon! Tag @Professor Edward Pirrip if you would like me to interact with your character (but probably best not to on this occasion).
Edward is becoming an animagus. One step is to carry a single mandrake leaf in his mouth for a month, which he is doing now. Source. Thank you for your patience
