He stood, heading to see if anyone else needed his assistance. Quote:

"Make sure you keep track of what the properties were. Good notes are the key to easy reviewing before finals."
With a tap, the girl's pendant was now a string of brightly colored beads. Quote:

"Professor, can you transfigure my item again?" Selena asked. Ooh, maybe this time he'll transfigure it into a stuffed dragon! She would definitely mess up on purpose so she could keep the dragon. Preston approached. "I'm glad you want to try again. Practice makes perfect!"
Another tap, and a small rubber chew toy rested on her desk. Quote:

He was getting a bit off task, and seeing others trying roped him back into the job at hand.
"So, drumstick needs to be a broken blue quill." He muttered to himself as he tried to clear his mind and picture the quill. It was blue and ragged. It was spotted with ink stains and bent at the tip. It had a spit in the top most part of the feather.
He went ahead and closed his eyes. He pictured it with a great effort, but was hesitant to try the spell. :: Preston swung by the corner of the room again. "Go ahead. Give it a try. You can't do any more damage to it."
Well, Preston supposed he could... but it had started a broken quill, so worse wasn't much. Quote:

What is the item: Hair clip
Size: Medium
Shape: Oval
Texture: plastic
Colour: Brown
Weight: Less than a half a pound
Defining markings: Looks like a cat's fur
Emma put her quill down, and raised her hand. She asked the Professor,"Excuse me professor can you please come and transfigure my object?" Approaching with a smile, Professor Kingsley tapped the hair clip, transfiguring it into a a mitten. Quote:

Lifting up part of it cautiously, just waiting for it to move or tie her to the chair, she let it drop with a small thud on the desk and flinched. Nope. It didn't do anything to her. So it was safe. Sorta. For now at least.
Hmm, so it was...
Long
Heavy
Bendable
A rope
Thread like?
Rough
Tan-ish cream colored
Well, there was her mental list of what it was. Now, to change this back to her bracelet? So that meant, she had to imagine the rope turning back to silver, harden, shrink, coil, and become engraved with scales. And look like a snake. Well, it was a rope, so it was already halfway like a snake which made it easier.
Closing her eyes for a moment, she tried to imagine all those things happening to the rope, and mumbling the incantation under her breathe. This seriously took a lot more concentration then she had suspected, something that wasn't all that easy for her nowadays. But so far so good.
Picking up her wand, she kept her eyes closed, continuing to imagine the silver bracelet in her mind. With a swish of her wand, and a confident "Reverto", Evelyn took a moment before opening her eyes. Well, it sure looked like a silver snake, that's for sure. Picking it up by what looked to be the tail of it, Evelyn chuckled slightly before wiggling it in front of Destiny's face.
It was definitely her bracelet, except it didn't go back to it's original round bracelet form. It was limp. Preston nodded. "Good progress. Good progress. Keep at it."
He raised an eyebrow in the girl's direction, however, as she teased another student with it, making a small 'tut' noise as he walked by. Quote:

With a heavy sigh, she pulled out the earlier parchment and notated the new properties.
Finishing with that, Marilyn picked up her wand again and leveled it on the statue. Her anxiety was a little high due to the state of her locket. So, her hand was shaking a little as "Reverto" was muttered. Nothing happened.
Sighing, she tried taking a deep breath. It did little to steady her nerves as she leveled the wand with the little piece again. This time when she muttered Reverto...it twitched a little and changed from it's pristine white to the polished silver of her locket...but then stopped.
Why was this being so difficult? She cleared her mind and pictured exactly what Lydia Malfoy's locket had looked like, from its heart-shape to the cut of the diamonds littering the surface. After a moment or so, with her eyes still shut, she pointed her wand at the statue and said Reverto for a third time. When she opened her eyes, the locket lay in front of her once again. Thank Merlin... Preston watched the progression with earnest. It had seemed a rather nice locket, but after a while, it seemed she'd been successful. Her concentration had been quite apparent. Quote:

"Okay..." She said, with a little nod as she closed her eyes. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ...
She felt a bit foolish, sat in class with her eyes shut... Still, she concentrated on the sound of the ticking from the clock!bracelet, and focused on it getting quieter and quieter. While she was doing this, she also blocked out the sounds of people muttering the spell, so that she could eventually just focus on the silence completely. tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick ,tick, tick ...
When she couldn't hear the ticking anymore, Iris listened to the silence and focused in on it for a while, before opening her eyes again; still focusing on the silence. She raised her wand again and repeated the spell, "reverto!" along with the flourishingness of the wand, too.
Iris looked to her bracelet, and picked it up cautiously, examinining it. Well... It looked exactly how it did before it became a clock ... and there wasn't any ticking anymore. "It's worked, Professor... I think..." She said, looking up at the Professor. Preston smiled. "Yes, I do think you managed it. Well done. It will get easier with time. Part of the difficulty with this task is that I cast the original spell, so it is stronger and you aren't necessarily privy to the intention behind it." Quote:

She hated them, the reason she brung them to class was because she was hopping to get rid of them.
Guess not.
So she just sat slumped back in her seat with her legs pulled into her chair, staring at the thing with a vacant expression. Lost in her own little world. Preston approached the young Hufflepuff. "Am I boring you? Or is something the matter?" Professor Kingsley tried to combine a certain sense of firmness with a touch of concern. Quote:

She wanted to try again it was better then being bored after all. Preston nodded. "Make sure you keep good records. Solids notes will help you make sure you remember and understand what you did when you study for your exams."
Another tap, and the girl's necklace had become a belt.
