Tuesday, 8:00 am - 1st Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin prof_peregrine May 21 2007, 03:01:02 UTC

"In honor of All Hallow's Eve, today we will be transfiguring these miniature pumpkins into candle wicks." Professor Peregrine told his class as they settled down. He grinned at a few of their costumes, before moving on to the incantation. "Candela pomum."

He tapped the little pumpkin on his desk and transfigured it into a candle. "Okay? Let's all give it a try."

Re: Tuesday, 8:00 am - 1st Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin jeannm May 27 2007, 14:48:00 UTC

"Okay!" Jeannie answered his question, even though it was rhetorical, because she didn't know what 'rhetorical' meant. She was exceedingly cheerful - YAY HALLOWEEN - and dressed up as a niffler. So sort of like (in her opinion) a cross between a rat and an armadillo, but whatever. And it was kind of hard for her to walk around, but again, it didn't matter.

She did her best to hold her wand with her claw-like glove, and after a moment of effort got herself to hold it, and beamed with pride.

The class seemed more excited about this little experiment than his older students, so Professor Peregrine grinned. He started on his usual walk around the classroom to help his students with their incantation, pausing at Jeannie's desk in the middle.

"Good morning, Jeannie," he greeted her. "Nice costume! Niffler right? Are you ready to transfigure your pumpkin?"

Re: Tuesday, 8:00 am - 1st Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin jeannm May 28 2007, 15:20:47 UTC

"Good morning, Professor! Thank you! Yep it is! Yes I am ready!" Jeannie answered all four of his remarks in one go, grinning happily. Okay, well, maybe she wasn't as ready as she thought she was, since her wand fell out of her hand again moments after the words came out of her mouth. She frowned and put it back in her hand, this time more firmly. Candela pomum, she told herself the incantation again in her head, just in case.

"Candela pomum," she repeated happily, and squealed with delight as her pumpkin began to transform. It never got old! Her wick turned out all right - kind of orange and pumpkin-shaped, and it still had a bit of a stem at the top, but still a candle. Good for the first try, hopefully.

"Today, we will be continuing our transfiguration of rats into goblets," he told them, motioning towards the little rodents running in the boxes on their desks. "For those of you who managed the complete transfiguration last week, we will practice untransfiguring them today."

"The incantation is Carchesium rattus," he reminded them as he walked around the room to start helping the students.

Darcy nodded at Veronica. "Yes. Well, at least I THINK I'm ready." She did not feel particularly inclined to pat her rat on the head, but she wondered if perhaps some sort of affection or apology wouldn't hurt.

In the end, she opted for great big apology with a side of logic and a splash of guilt trip.

"Listen," she said quietly, feeling slightly silly for talking to a rat, "I'm sorry about last week and the whole tail thing, REALLY I AM, and I'm sorry we're still not done yet. But the faster you turn into a goblet the faster I can turn you back and then you'll be done for good! And not only that, but my grade in transfiguration won't be so bad, hmmm?"

"Okay," Darcy straightened up and gave Veronica a grin. "NOW I'm ready for sure. Carchesium rattus!" she cried, and a moment later was frowning at a furry goblet with whiskers.

Re: 3rd Year Classes (Combined) prof_peregrine May 28 2007, 16:50:55 UTC

Professor Peregrine had happened upon the two friends in his walk around the room, pausing to eye Darcy and her attempt at the transfiguration. "That was a good effort, Darcy," he smiled encouragingly, pulling out his wand.

He tapped the goblet and untransfigured it back into the rat. "Now once more," he smiled and then leaned down to whisper. "It also helps to envision it as a glass full of water."

5th Year Classes (Combined) prof_peregrine May 21 2007, 03:20:56 UTC

"Today, we will be continuing our scarves and hamsters transfiguration," he told the class. "As a reminder, the incantation is Cricetinae textus."

"Those of you who have successfully transfigured your hamsters may work on untransfiguring them back into scarves," he said. "The same untransfiguration spell can be used as before. Reverto."

Re: 5th Year Classes (Combined) emogen_ackart May 26 2007, 15:21:10 UTC

Emmy smiled as Professor Peregrine began the lesson. She was feeling more like her usual self today and it showed as she bounced happily in her seat. She jotted down the incantations he gave them so she'd have them to remember later. Then, putting her parchment aside, she pulled out her wand and reached out a hand to move her scarf closer.

"Cricetinae textus!" she shouted as she aimed her wand at the scarf. It quickly wound in on itself, curling up into a ball. Before long, there was a hamster sitting on her desk, though his fur was just a bit oddly shaded. Of course, Emmy thought he looked rather pretty like that, with little green and blue spots of paisley.

She patted him on the head then turned to watch her friends give it a try, "It's your turn, Geordie, isn't it?" she beamed.

Re: 5th Year Classes (Combined) geordiedu May 27 2007, 19:28:55 UTC

Geordie pulled out his notes from the first lesson on cricetinae textus and skimmed over them. It really did have an interesting history; he'd been doing some additional research because really, WHY would one need to transfigure a scarf into a hamster, and it was quite fascinating and....right. So, perhaps, he thought, watching Emmy bounce from the corner of his eye, he should have spent less time reading and more time practicing.

"Cute," he praised his mate's hamster with a grin. "You should bring him to play with A'tuin." Geordie made his own attempt, and it wasn't TOO horrible. The scarf didn't become a hamster, but at least this time it was a hamster-sized ball of scarf this time. "Rerverto", he said quickly, before anyone could criticize, and at least THAT spell worked. The aimed his wand at the scarf and took a few deep breaths, psyching himself up to try again.

Re: 5th Year Classes (Combined) felixthehero May 28 2007, 16:38:42 UTC

Felix's notes for the current spell they were going over were somewhat embarrassing, as they partially consisted of about four inches worth of cricetinae textus copied over and over again, because it was easier to remember if you copied it so many times your hand hurt. So he had found. He glanced over the incantation quickly and then covered his notes with his textbook.

Hamsters were cute, he was becoming quite fond of them, but he wasn't going to let this known. He greeted his hamster when it succesfully transfigured--"Cricetinae textus,"--with a scowl and a muttered, "Don't do any business on my notes, you ( ... )

Wednesday, 10:00 am - 6th Year - Gryffindor / Hufflepuff prof_peregrine May 21 2007, 03:29:08 UTC

"Today, we will be continuing our cauldron into crab transfiguration." He gestured towards the cauldrons that had been relatively unharmed and unfortunately not transfigured from last lesson.

"Cancer lebes." He reminded them of the incantation. "I expect everyone's cauldrons to be crabs by the end of class." He winked, although he was quite serious. "So, let's begin."

Re: Wednesday, 10:00 am - 6th Year - Gryffindor / Hufflepuff j_zhang May 23 2007, 15:02:42 UTC

Jackie had to pause for a moment before taking her things to the Hufflepuff "side" of the classroom. Not that the Badgers and the Lions really "separated" the room, but even when they paired off, most of the friends stayed with friends of their own house. It probably made for better after-class studying, but the two houses were so friendly with each other that it really didn't matter.

"Hey, Orville!" she greeted cheerfully, plopping her cauldron besides him. She gave him an encouraging smile, and tried not to look at Phillip and Vivien at the other table. "Don't worry. I have potions that will cure anything your skin might hate."

Re: Wednesday, 10:00 am - 6th Year - Gryffindor / Hufflepuff p_davenport May 28 2007, 21:14:22 UTC

Phillip had arrived early for Transfiguration, having skipped study hall to sleep in only to lose track of time and be unsure if he was early or late for class. Upon arriving he had taken his usual seat, set out his things, then realizing he was still early, had fallen back to sleep, his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand. He was sure Professor Peregrine or Jackie or someone would wake him up when class started.

Or he'd just sleep through class, which wasn't all that bad, really. It wasn't like he needed to pay attention, right? Er, well, so he probably did, but that's why Jackie was his partner, wasn't she? Besides, they were probably still going to work on the cauldrons again, so he wasn't very concerned. And so he stayed quite unaware as Jackie passed their table and took Vivien's usual seat.

Thursday, 3:00 pm - 6th Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin prof_peregrine May 21 2007, 03:55:05 UTC

"Today, we will be continuing our cauldron into crab transfiguration." He gave an encouraging smile towards the students whose cauldrons hadn't been transfigured last week.

"Remember, it's Cancer lebes," he enunciated the incantation. "I expect everyone's cauldrons to be crabs by the end of class." He winked, although he was quite serious. "So, let's start."

Re: Thursday, 3:00 pm - 6th Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin joryelecott May 24 2007, 19:56:59 UTC

Jory had managed it last week, although it had been sort of cauldron-shaped still. This week, he imagined an entirely crab-shaped crab was possible. "I'll go," Jory said to Saffron, twirling his wand about in his fingers. Quicker he finished, the quicker he could go to sleep. With a clear conscience. Well, he'd have to revert it back to a cauldron, too, he didn't want to be sleeping in class with a crab crawling all over his head and laying eggs in his hair or something.

Aim, fire. "Cancer lebes."

With a frown, he studied the outcome, narrowing his eyes. Hmm. Looked about right...

Although, the longer he stared at it, the creepier it became. Perhaps he hadn't ever looked at a crab up close before. "Creepy looking bugger," he commented in a hushed whisper, prodding the crab with his wand and trying to keep it from coming too close to him. "And I think I've given him a gimpy claw."

He eyed the crab for a moment more. "I mean 'her'."

Re: Thursday, 3:00 pm - 6th Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin beaubarrett May 29 2007, 20:29:36 UTC

Beau glared at the cauldron sitting in front of him on his desk. He had not come anywhere near a crab last week. He hadn't managed to do anything to his cauldron yet. His only hope was for Aurelia to help him. He hated being so hopeless at Transfiguration. When Professor Peregrine stated his expectation for the end of class, Beau winced just slightly.

He defiantly did not look toward the Ravenclaw tables, not wanting to draw their attention to himself. It seemed that every week, he cursed the fact that the Slytherins shared this class with the Ravenclaws. Only the Gryffindors would be worse.

Sighing, he pulled out his wand and glanced at Aurelia pleadingly. Of course, his pride wouldn't let him ask for help in so many words, but usually a look was enough.

He stared at his cauldron hard, "Cancer lebes." Come on. Do something, he thought fiercely, waiting to see if he'd suddenly gotten any less hopeless.

Re: Thursday, 3:00 pm - 6th Year - Ravenclaw / Slytherin bellaurelia May 31 2007, 01:42:36 UTC

Aurelia gave Professor Peregrine a somewhat tight smile at his wink - really, now. She found him to be quite a competent teacher, but most of the students had already succeeded at least partially with this transfiguration, and for those who hadn't she saw no need to rub it in. She had not personally yet completed the spell in class, but since last week a few practice tries had her quite confident in her abilities today.

She did not have her partner's opposition to ignorning the Ravenclaws, when they were doing something worth paying attention to. Slightly amused, Aurelia grinned at Jory and his very close inspection of his crab. Personally she thought the only pronoun they really required was "it." "I'm not for sure," she called to him in a clear voice, taking a guess at words she'd not QUITE been able to make out, "but I'm fairly certain that's what they're supposed to look like ( ... )
