"Uhhh right then there. Well some of you know and some of you don't. That's alright, you'll learn probably. You can't conjure food, so if you put food up there go ahead and pretend it wasn't you but your friend that wrote it." Sound advice. "And you can't conjure up OR transfigure something into a real person, so all you wanting friends and professors..." yeah, no. He wasn't offended at all.
The scratching began again. "Basically, if I can't carry it in my hand then you can't transfigure it. Yall know that? Why'd someone write happiness? You know where we are?" It sort of sounded like Shaw didn't know himself.
Right then. Shaw went back to the board, studied the chalk, then erased about half of the answers. He occasionally threw nervous glances over his shoulder and during the middle of his erasing and writing, he retrieved his alligator cloak and re-donned it. When he finally finished, the board read:
"There. There we go. There we go now. I put them there together like that. Makes sense. We'll get to that. First I need to know how do we go about transfiguring things? Magic words? Wand movements? Right? Where's them come from? Who makes up the words? What are the words? Why'd I'd make them there groups you think?" He pointed to the grouped words on the board. Raising up her hand again, Zara recited for who knows what time, hoping that she'd get extra credit for this, "Yes, sir. We say magic words then with a flick of the wand it transfigures. The words are in Latin, I suppose. Wizards from before probably made up those words when they discovered it. The words are different for each animal or object. For example, to turn an object into a rabbit, the spell used is Lapifors." She went on, "You made them groups to symbolize the differences between those belonging to different colors. Probably, it also signifies the different houses. Blue for Ravenclaw, Yellow for Hufflepuff, Red for Gryffindor, and Green for Slytherin. Then the objects point directly to the characteristics of those belonging to the house. Like for example in Gryffindor, there's shield, armor, and hard hat. These are needed by brave people to defend themselves when bad things happen and bravery represents Gryffindor. Same goes for the other houses."
Whew, why did she have to recite such long sentences? It was like making her own essay and reading them out loud. Oh crud, the answer's gotten. Congratulation on making a fool out of yourself, Zara. Way to go.
