"It is indeed a law of wizarding physics," Lars confirmed with a nod in the Hufflepuff's direction. "And thank you for giving two of the five exceptions. Take two points for your house." With a piece of chalk from the floor, Professor Svensson quickly scribbled those two Principal Exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration on the chalkboard.

"A point to Slytherin," Professor Svensson said, quickly adding life and money to the list.

Svensson nodded. "And finally, information," he said, adding that to the list as well. He paused, and then added, "A point to Gryffindor for your summation of the law and all five exceptions."

Diane listened to other people answer the question, and then raised her hand. "Would the exception to those rules be, The Philosopher's Stone?" she pondered out loud "Creating life... gold... I'm guessing food would be easy in comparison."

"I am not an expert on the subject, but the Philosopher's Stone does not create life--it simply prolongs it," Professor Svensson kindly explained to the girl.

Time to get to the point. "Now, I don't expect many of you to be able to conjure anything on the first try. Before anybody thinks of trying to help me conjure my furniture back, and definitely before anybody attempts to test this law and its exceptions (which won't get you anywhere, I assure you), we're all going to work on conjuring bird feathers," the professor told the class matter-of-factly.

Drawing his wand, Professor Svensson demonstrated for the class. "Watch closely, now," he said. Focusing his mind on a canary feather, Lars spoke the incantation ("plumexer") clearly and twisted his wand ever-so-slightly. Catching the conjured feather in his free hand, Svensson held it up to show the class. "See? There's basically no wand movement, and 'plumexer' is quite simple to say," he explained. "So if there's no questions, you can start trying to conjure feathers!"
