Spreading all her Transfiguration notes across her desk, Kurumi took out her wand and re-read the instructions she had taken on the Comletia spell. Before coming down from the dormitory, Kurumi had brought a few of her
ice cream sandwich erasers with her to practice on since she did not carry anything like a pocket watch with her. Picking up one of them in her hand, she set the others to the side and just stared at it for a few moments. Okay, so clearly this was going to be a little different than a pocket watch, but rubbery eraser was easier to transfigure, wasn't it? Worst-case scenario was that the desk was going to be covered in cookie eraser goo. She could clean that up easily enough.
Deciding that it would probably be a better idea to put everything on the floor except for the eraser she was trying to transfigure and left that in the center of the desk. Now, for the motion. She couldn't believe she hadn't realized it during class, but the motion wasn't so much of a cross as it was drawing the four directions. She had even learned a handy little phrase to help remember directions from a first year: Never Eat Soggy Waffles. Easy enough, she didn't really want to eat soggy waffles in the first place.
Picking up her wand with her right hand, Kurumi performed the appropriate wand motion, north to south, west to east and then poked the middle. "
Comletia!" she squeaked as she watch the eraser begin to glow a bit. Something began to smell, well, like she had burnt cookies a few times over. Oh, that wasn't good. Looking down at the eraser, Kurumi saw that it was bubbling like boiling water. Ew...totally gross. Then, there was a loud POP! just like she had heard in class and a few bits of gooey eraser splattered her in the face. Still, when she looked down she saw a very old, and perhaps a little rusty,
compass on her desk. Hey, at least she hadn't set the desk on fire, right?
