Transfiguration is magic which changes one object into another. It is possible to change inanimate objects into animate ones and vice versa. Some Transfiguration spells alter a part of something, such as changing a person's ears from normal into rabbit ears. Transfiguration spells were cast in ancient times as well. Circe, a Witch who lived in the Greek island of Aeaea, was famous for turning lost sailors into pigs.
The opposite of Transfiguration is Untransfiguration, which would be returning something to its proper form.
With each new spell, you will be learning first the Transfiguration and then the Untransfiguration so that you can change yourself back should anything bad happen. I advise you all to pay attention and not goof off in learning Untransfiguration.
For today, we will begin with changing an object or an animal into a goblet. With a simple and graceful swish and flick of your wand and by saying, "feraverto", your item should become a lovely cup. Keep practicing and I'll help anyone who needs it. It may take you a few times.
Now, for the untransfiguration: Flick and swish your wand in the other direction and say: "otrevaref", which is, for those who are a bit slow, the main spell backwards. Everyone understand? Good. Now, for your homework.
Assignment Fill out and answer these questions- write the questions as well and keep it neat!
1.) What is Transfiguration?
2.) Which witch turned lost sailors into pigs?
3.) Where was said witch located?
4.) What is the opposite of Transfiguration?
5.) What are the two spells you learned today and what do they do?
This will be due on June 17.
ooc:// Reason being, I won't be here on the 11th when it's originally due, so...yeah.

Ryan slipped into the classroom, and took a seat in the second row. He watched earnestly as the professor easily turned the animal on his desk into a goblet. Digging his wand out of his pocket, he tried the spell himself. "Feraverto," Ryan said, trying to copy Professor Imura's swish and flick motion above the mouse on his desk. It changed to become cup, allthough it was quite plain looking.

Hannah entered the classroom with her bags in one hand and her wand in the other. She sat down and sighed. " Feraverto. Said Hannah sighing at the end. She watched the mouse and it turned into a goblet.

Liam was actually quite pleased that his students decided to show up today- it was about time, it was. Last time, only three showed up and that was at the very end, so he was expecting quite a few more to arrive as time ticked on. Brushing back his aburn hair, he watched their progress with raised brows- they seemed to be getting it, which was a good thing. Going to Ryan, he grinned. "Nice work there, lad, bu' concentrate now on ge'in' it to be a lovely cup, li'e for y'r lady frien', eh?" he suggested with a chuckle, rising back up to his near seven-foot height and going to Hannah's desk. "Wot's the matter 'ere, eh?" he inquired as to her sighing.
Sarentegra entered into the classroom, sitting down in the back so that Liam couldn't see her or watch her the entire time without appearing suspicious. She knew that he was looking for her and she knew that he knew that she knew that he knew what she did. In other words...she was avoiding a loooong lecture about 'responsibility', hating those blasted things more than she hated, well, most Gryffindors, which was saying something indeed. Looking at the very frightened gerbil on her desk, she decided it was best to put it out of its misery and muttered "feraverto", swishing and flicking her wand easily, turning the little creature into a magnificent golden, silver-crusted goblet: it was obvious that she had learned this before.

Hannah looked up to the professor. " Oh...nothing...I was just up studying for this lesson in the libary at seven in the morning. Replied Hannah looking around. She looked over at Ryan then back at the professor. "But really I'm fine. She replied finally finding the words.

Nocturne wandered in, looking for a seat. She grinned when she saw Saren, and froze when she saw her spell. She hesitantly sat down beside her newest friend, "That was awesome." She said quietly, looking to the mouse in front of her. she frowned, before reading the board. "I'm supposed to turn this thing into a goblet?" She asked, before sighing and getting out her wand. With a few moments hesitation she waved her wand and muttered "Feraverto." She watched it, before grimacing when nothing happened.

Saren looked at Nocturne with a smile, glad that some people appreciated her work while still hoping that Liam wouldn't see her, so she muttered the counter-spell for the action, the goblet turning back into the frightened little gerbil, acting much like the smaller animals at the Menegerie in Diagon Alley. "Thanks- and you'll get the 'ang o' i' even'ually. Too' me a couple o' tries when I firs' learned i'."

"Er..... okay," Ryan replied, staring up at his lanky professor. He was going to attempt to get his cup to turn back into a mouse before trying again. His blue eyes studied the cup for a moment before saying, "Otrevaref!" while swishing and flicking in the reverse direction. Ryan had managed return his mouse to it's original form and was ready to try again with the goblet.

Hannah looked at her goblet. "Otrevaref! Said Hannah while swishing and flicking her wand. She tried not to sigh but she couldn't help it. Hannah looked at the professor and watch him change it back to it's normal form. She thought for a moment and remembered when she changed into her black dog form. Hannah could feel in her body that any minute she was going to turn into the black dog. She gave a sigh and watched her rections to everyone.

Concentrate, He told himself. Imagine a beautiful goblet, it can't be that hard. Ryan frowned as he studied the mouse, his blue eyes staring into it's beady black ones. "Feraverto!" He exclaimed, bringing his wand down in a less-than-graceful flicking motion. The mouse was gone, and in its place was a goblet, shinier than the last time, but still in silver.

Nocturne huffed when everyone else did it. She frowned in concentration, "Feraverto!" She cried, groaning impatiently when nothing happened. She took a deep breathe, before trying again, "Feraverto." She muttered, jumping up when it worked, grinning.

After copying down his homework, Josh took out his wand and looked at the tiny creature he was supposed to transfigure into a goblet. After preforming the swish and flick movement the class was shown he said, "Fereverto." The rat turned into a goblet. Despite the fact the goblet was the same greyish color the rat was before, it had a beautifully elaborate design with designs that consisted of dragons flying through the air. "I overthink things." he said, "This is the design I wanted, but I forgot to make it a better-looking color."

Hannah once again swish and flicked her wand at her pet and said " Fereverto." Soon her pet had turned into a lovely gold goblet with lovely old carved writing on it, Hannah smiled. " I finally did it. She muttered to herself.

"Otreveref." Josh said flicking his wand when he was finished critiquing his work. Luckily for him, the goblet turned back into the rat. "I got the untransfiguration down." he said happily. "Now if I can get the transfiguration down." he said doing the swish and flick movement again and muttering, "Fereverto." He watched as the rat transfigured into a less elaborate goblet, but said goblet was now a lovely shade of gold. Josh, now pleased with his work, grinned.

Hannah looked down at her Goblet. "Oterveref. Said Hannah pointing her wand at her goblet along with a swish and flick and the mouse turned back into a healthy mouse. " Lets me got the hang of it. Muttered Hannah under her breath.

Liam went down the aisles of the desks, nodding in approval at his students' work. Oh yes, this was much better than last time when all he did was answer questions. He glanced over at his sister to find her rapidly turnnig her gerbil into a goblet and back again, over and over again, obviously bored. He gave an exasperated sigh but soon brightened up when he saw the other childrens' progress. "Excellent work, all. I'm very proud of you for excelling so quickly," he said, knowing that praise was a large rung in the ladder of success.

Nocturne stared at the mouse-turned goblet, staring at the plain silver of it. She watched Saren amusedly, before attempting to un-transfigure her goblet. "Oterveref." she said simply, her eyes widening when the goblet grew a tail. She raised an eyebrow, poking the tail with her wand, She looked to Saren, "Is that supposed to happen?"

"Hey!" Ryan said with a frown, seeing Josh's goblet turn gold. "I can't get mine to change color." He stared at his silver goblet before returning it to a mouse with "Otreveref." Gold, he thought to himself. Come on, it can't be that hard dammit. "Feraverto," Ryan said again, concentrating on both making a graceful swish and flick motion, as well as the gold color of the goblet. His goblet stubbonly remained silver.

"Think of the goblet as a whole instead of just a color." Josh said to Ryan after he untransfigured the goblet and back into a rat. "Fereverto." he said as the same golden goblet transfigured from the rodent. "My grandmother had a goblet that looked similar to this, so it was easy for me to picture it in my mind." he informed him.

Sarentegra looked over at Nocturne, getting that uncomfortable feeling of someone watching her from her brother, so she needed to break her own silence. "Ah...no," she said with a good-natured laugh. "Think o' i' as...channging y'r appearance- i' shoul' come se'on' nature to ye af'er a while, as will Transfiguration," she assured the younger student, now thoroughly bored.

"Ah, okay. We don't have many goblets at home, but thanks." Ryan smiled, eyeing Josh's goblet enviously. "Oterveref." He said, and the goblet because a mouse again. Okay, I can do this, he thought, picturing the entire goblet in his mind down to the last detail. He decided since he had spent so much time trying to get it to turn gold, it would be a rosy colored metal instead, with a celtic knotwork band. "Feraverto!" Ryan said, as he flicked-and-swished. His mouse immediatley became the goblet he had pictured in his mind. "Awesome!" He said, a little too loudly. "Thanks man," he said turning to Josh.

Nocturne sighed, "Okay, thanks." she said, smiling. She put her tongue between her teeth as she did the precise wand movements before muttering, "Otreveref" She just managed to muffle her scream as the goblet grew legs and ears. She watched the legs kick at the air. "Otreveref." she repeated, growing impatient. she let out a thankful sigh when the odd goblet became a mouse. she huffed, "I just hope I can get this soon..." She muttered, before attmepting to transfigure the mouse back into a goblet. She gasped when it worked first time, and grinned, attempting to untransfigure it. "Otreveref!" she said happily, groaning when the goblet refused to change back.

Chance slipped in knowing he was late. He couldn't blame Kato or Charlie for any of the conversations they had. Things had begun to clear up and he didn't to keep it that way. If things didn't sittle out then someone would die. Prefribly him or Charlie. He sighed and quickly wrote the homework down and then looked around he hung his head again and lingered breifly in the back before continuing with his work.

Ruby walked into the classroom and took out her wand. She did the swish and flick modevation and said, "Fereverto." and her mouse turned into a lovely golden goblet with carved writing around it. She then looked at the goblet and did the modevation backwords, "Otreveref." and the goblet turned back to a healthy mouse again.
