Second Years, Lesson Four: Introduction to Inanimate to Animate Transfiguration
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 whole month. He carried on teaching, but his voice muffled. “Goo affernoon. I’sh nishe to shee you all. Qwills and parshment out." The leaf making it almost impossible to talk. This was a theory lesson today and he pointed his wand at the board and wrote out the following:
Copy down the following:
We previously covered Animate to Inanimate Transfiguration. Now focusing on more complex and difficult Inanimate to Animate Transfiguration
Inanimate object refers to any object that is non-living. To change it into something animate, you will need to give your chosen object the illusion of life. Sight, breath, limbs, anything that makes an animate object live.
Transforming an inanimate object into something alive requires a clear and precise mental image of your target. You must visualise every detail from the shape of the eyes, the texture of the skin, and the colour variations. Without this focused visualisation at the moment of casting, the spell will fail or produce a misshapen, incomplete result.
Edward waited until everyone had caught up their notes before clearing the board and starting again.
Inanimate objects have no minds of their own. All of it must be given by you as the caster. Objects lack any sort of cognitive or instinctual processes. Therefore, the caster must create a brain for the object. For instance, if you're conjuring a frog, you must imbue it with the instinct to eat insects, a sticky tongue for catching prey, and slimy, textured skin. If this step is not performed correctly, then the object will change into the animal, but it might very well be brain dead.
Edward waited again for the class to catch up, most of his attention taken up by the mandrake leaf in his mouth, at least he hadn't had to talk much. "Wesh do a demonstastion." Edward told them, gesturing with his wand toward an empty chair to the side of the room. It bloomed into a brightly coloured flamingo, its pink feathers standing out as it strutted around the classroom with hardly a care in the world. He said as some of the students watched, fascinated as it approached them, close enough to touch it if they so wished. Edward's eyes meanwhile drifted to the clock, noting how late it was. "Classh dismissed." He said, reluctantly changing the flamingo back into a boring old chair and disappearing into his office before any questions could be asked.
Homework: RP attendance! Extra Credit for taking notes on the lesson. 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 and I am sorry
