Transfiguration 7:2

Professor Lyra Potter was wandering around the classroom as the students arrived, placing a small box with holes in it on each desk. "Welcome! I want to get things rolling quickly. Take a seat." She said cheerfully as she placed the last box out and returned to her own desk in the front of the room.

"Today we will be focusing on untransfiguration and nonverbal spells. Does anyone remember what untransfiguration is?" she asked the class. A student raised their hand. "Yes?" she asked, pointing to the student who raised their hand first. She nodded. "You must have been paying attention last lesson. Great answer." She paused, then started to pace the aisle between the desks. "In the boxes on your desk you contain frogs. You will be transfiguring them into grasshoppers and back to frogs, using nonverbal spells. Just for review, who can tell me what the spell is for this transfiguration?" she asked. She nodded at another student, who gave her the correct spell. "Exactly."

"The main thing to remember is to focus. You don't want to be thinking of a dog or cat and end up with a very odd animal. You will use the three tap method of course. You may verbalize the spell, but I would like each of you to also practice it non-verbally. You will change the frog to a grasshopper, then back to a frog, like this." She moved to the closest desk and opened the box. She took out the frog and placed it on the desk, tapping it three times. With a bit of a poof, the frog quickly became a grasshopper. Another three taps and the frog was back. "Any questions before we begin?" she asked. Seeing none, she gave the students the go ahead to start practicing.

[Apolline Fontaine]

Apolline walked into the transfiguration classroom and took her usual spot in the room. She glanced at the professor as the woman got started and nodded lightly at what they were going to be doing within the lesson. She took a few notes that the professor was telling them, but they were given frogs to transfigure into grasshoppers, something she hadn't done in a long while. Apolline took her wand and then pointed it at the frog, she non-verbally managed to transfigure it and then it took most of the lesson to get it to go back, but she did eventually get it.

 

[Violet Owens-Rosemary]

The first week back of classes was no different to what Violet expected. They already had some homework assigned to them. Some classes were just very boring and not enjoyable and she would always much rather be on her broom, enjoying the fresh air, than locked up attempting to soak in material that she didn’t care about. The Ravenclaw hoped that her next lessons would be at least somewhat interesting as she packed her backpack and began heading to them.

Violet entered the Transfiguration classroom and took her usual seat in the room. The professor started the lesson by asking the class a question that Violet remembered from the previous week. "Untransfiguration is a reversal spell. So transfiguring something and then turning it back to its original state." she explained confidently. Soon enough, the professor put them up to their task for the lesson. They were going to be Transfiguring frogs into grasshoppers and then back into frogs with non-verbal magic. Violet collected her frog before taking it back to her desk. She pointed her wand at it and imagined it much smaller, skinnier, and agile, just like a grasshopper. She used the three tap method and beamed as it changed right into what she was imagining. Turning it back into a frog proved to be more difficult, especially since it kept wanting to hop away from her. Eventually the Ravenclaw managed to get it and she showed the professor before leaving the classroom at the end of the lesson.
