Professor Kalif Styx absolutely hated this part of Transfiguration, but alas, it had to be done. He used his wand to transfigure the normal desks to a vanity table, with a tall mirror on the front. Each student had one to themselves. This was pointless to him, but it was part of the curriculum. He thought the same about some of Herbology and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Once the seventh years entered, he gestured for them to take a seat as he stood at the front of the classroom. He gestured with his hand to bring down some of the lights to simulate a lighted mirror. They would need the light to see what they were doing. "You will have to stare at yourself, and I hope you have a sense of humor because of the next spell that you will be learning."
Styx knew that his wife would change her own ears, but he decided on something a little different. "Today, you will be working on human transfiguration. This is not to be confused with the process to become an animagus. This spell is restricted to transfiguring your ears into something else. However, allow me to give you a warning. It is illegal to perform this spell who is not expecting it. You might find it as a cute prank, but push some boundaries and you'll end up in Azkaban. Use them only on yourself, or others with their consent." Styx allowed this to sink in before he looked over the class to see who was paying attention.
"Now, raise your hand if you would like to earn some house points and come up here for a demonstration." Not many would volunteer for this, so he saw the first hand raised, and he gestured toward them with his hand as he used the other to take out his wand. "You, come up to the front." Once the student came up to the front, Styx said, "Face the class now. Everyone else, pay attention. The spell is Auris. The standard three tap method will be used. Eventually, you may use this nonverbally, but for now, use it verbally. Observe." He used the three tap method above the student's head and intoned, "Auris." The ears were soon turned into a pair of rabbit ears. He tapped again and changed them to a pair of car ears silently, and then untransfigured them to normal.
Styx put his wand away for now, and motioned for the student to take their seat once more. "To reverse this process is untransfiguration that you have learned the last lesson. It does not matter what animal ears you choose, but you must do so three times, and restore them to normal before you may leave. If something goes wrong, I will be around to correct your mistake. Begin." Styx stood where he was, and would move if the students needed his help. Once the first student was done, he stated, "Once you are done, you may leave. The rest of the year will be nothing but revision."
Assignment: RP the lesson. First student can come to the front to earn an extra 10 house points for the demonstration.
