First Years, Lesson Six: Learning Gemelitiar (book into a jewellery box)

"Good morning everyone, this is our last practical lesson before exams." Edward told them as his students took their seat, surprised at how quickly the semester had passed. "To start, I’d like you all to take out your textbook and place it on your desk." he instructed, gesturing to his own as an example. "Today, we’ll be turning these books into jewellery boxes—or trinket boxes, if you prefer to think of them that way." Edward noticed an audible reaction when some students oohed and others groaned. Edward waited until everyone was ready with a textbook in front of them. "We will, of course, be using the three tap method. The incantation is 'Gemelitiar.' Like this." Professor Pirrip tapped his book three times and incanted the spell, "Gemelitiar" and the book immediately changed into a beautiful jewellery box made of mahogany wood, inscribed with sentences from the books pages in reference to its previous form. Garnets and opals adorned the lid which he opened to show the inside of the wooden box.

"When you try, I want you to visualise a box that feels personal to you. Think about what suits your style or draw on familiar memories like a jewellery box you’ve seen before. The clearer your image, the better your results. I would like all of you to begin, I will be walking around as always. After you are done, use the rest of your time to study." Edward let the students get on with the spell and at the end, he spoke before dismissing them. "You've all worked very well this term and I'm very proud. Good luck in your exam. Class dismissed!"

Note: "Finite" is a counter-spell, not Untransfiguration, and shouldn't be used to reverse any transfigurations.

Exams were on the horizon now, not that Julio was the least bit worried about them. Oh no, he was going to ace his exams so his father didn't have anything to complain about. He was really curious about the use of a spell for turning a book into a jewellery box. This was most certainly going to be a spell he never used again. Still, he got to work practicing the spell with some success. Frankly, his box still looked like a book, just more solid, but it had a lid and it opened. Maybe it could be one of those novelty jewellery boxes which looked like something else. Having no more time left, Julio handed his book box into the Professor before leaving the classroom once they had been dismissed. He'd have to make the time to revise for his exams in his own time.
