It bugged her.
Narrowing her eyes at the thing, Evelyn thought for a moment before raising her hand. "Are we shooting arrows at them?" she asked, a little evil smirk appearing on her lips. Pfft, well that's the first spell that popped into her mind when the Professor said 'hazard'.
What a violent thing to think of first. Poor stuffed animal. Issy made a mental note to make sure that the one Evelyn was using was still intact at the end of the lesson.
"Urr, no, we're not." No.

He raised his hand and answered with the only logical conclusion he could come to. "Are we transfiguring them into REAL animals?" he asked. Cause, you know...it was Transfiguration. That was what you did.
"We're doing conjuring today actually, but good guess." Isabelle smiled at sleepyhead. It would be kinda fun, too. But no.

A twinkle formed in Issy's eyes. Someone was so close.
"You are along the right track, Kurumi. With the cage suggestion." So close. But not exact.

Mia looked at her stuffed animal and then over to each group of students before raising her hand in the air. "Are we going to transfigure them into the animal that represents our each individual houses?" Because that would be so cool. Even better if it was like Alex said and they conjured a real one.
"That's a good guess, and a very patriotic..." was that the right word?
"one, Mia. But not today. The separate houses is for the task later on." Which you will find out about....later on.

"Good guess, Chloe, but that's not it." Isabelle smiled at the Gryffindor and moved on to the next answer.

She looked up at the professor then. "Seeing as we are using the stuffed animals. They are soft and wont hurt if they hit something or someone. I would hazard a guess at Geminio. Creating duplicates?"
Ahhh, they were using the stuffed ones for now. But she wasn't going to tell them that until later, when they'd practised enough.
"Not today, Luin." Smile. Quote:

Simon looked at the Professor and smiled, he was going to ask if they were going to destory the teddies. "Professor are we going to destroy the teddies?" Simon thought it might be fun to do that, even though he doesn't normally like destroying things.
Destroy the teddies? Another one that wanted violence. Lovely. She might have to check all the animals before they left.
"No, Simon. We're not going to destroy them. In fact the spell could even be used to help them. If they were real." "As Kurumi so very nearly got, we are going to conjure something to use for animal capture, smaller animals anyway." Hence the stuffed ones that were no bigger than a bunny.
"It's not a cage per say, at least not to start with, and it doesn't hurt them. The spell you will be learning conjures a net, which when it touches the ground, hardens to form a cage, or a trap of sorts. Those of you that are more skilled..." Yes, sixth and seventh years I'm looking at you.
"...might even be able to manage ones with doors in them. For easier access."
Turning her wand on the blackboard, Isabelle flicked it and the chalk started scribbling a word:

"Let me demonstrate." Isabelle wandered over to the nearest student and gave them a smile, before nabbing their toy. Rolling her sleeves back, she placed it on the ground in front of her, and took a level stance. In reality the thing would be moving, so a firm base was always a good start. Pointing her wand at the animal, she jabbed it forward while saying the spell.
"Incarcolvo!" A black mesh erupted from the end of her wand and headed in the toy's direction, momentarily covering it completely. But within seconds it had sprung up and gone stiff, leaving the animal with room to move around inside - if it could have moved.
Turning back to the kids, she grinned.
"Now it's your turn. Please practise saying the spell on it's own first, then the wand movement, then put the two together. You may stand as well, if you feel it would help you. And don't forget to ask for help from me, or the older students, if you need it." OOC: I'm heading off for the night, so please just have your charrie practise. No excessive chatter though, Issy is still there even if I'm not.
