Second Years, Lesson Five: Learning Torte (teapot into a turtle)
It had been hard work teaching with a mandrake leaf in his mouth for a month, but Edward was reaching the end of this unpleasant step of Animagus training. The next step would be even tougher, but he'd work on that over the school break. For now, Edward was putting out a display of different teapots of various designs and colours when his second years arrived. "Weh hahv a fhun lesson today." He greeted them brightly, picking up a multi-coloured polka dot teapot and holding it in the palm of one hand, then using his wand to write the lesson brief on the board behind him.
- You will each turn one of these decorative teapots into a tortoise.
- I want you all to be very careful when performing this spell. I will be taking points off of your grade if the tortoise breathes steam or has ceramic tiles on its shell. Patterns are fine, but I don't want to see actual porcelain left over.
- We're focusing on a complete transformation.
- The incantation is Torte, practice pronunciation first.
- Take your time, and remember to focus. At the end of class, bring your tortoise to the front for grading
Edward took out his wand and pointed it at the teapot he was holding. "Torte!" He spoke the incantation as clearly as he possibly could in his condition so his students could hear. With a poof, the teapot changed into a tortoise that fitted nicely in his open palm and now brown and green in colour. "Come one by one, choosh your favrite teapot an return to your seat wif it." Edward placed his transformed tortoise back onto the table, turning it back into a teapot with a quick flick of his wand.
Once each student had selected a teapot and returned to their desks, Edward gave them the go ahead. He kept an eye on the class and helped where he could. At the end of the lesson he dismissed the class then quickly retreated to his office.
Roleplay attempting to turn your teapot into a turtle. A successful transformation will earn full marks. Tag @Professor Edward Pirrip if you would like me to interact with your character (although might be best to wait until next week)!
