Ivory beamed.
Positively beamed at the man. Professional transfiguationist. That sounded quite great. It was her fifth year already after all, and she had to start getting ideas with what to do with the rest of her life. It sounded like a legitimate career...but was it? Could it be entirely possible to dedicate her life to it? Mind whirling with the possibilities, she gave an enthusiastic nod and put her quill to parchment as she summed up her work quickly including possible wand movements.

*Previously learned:
Horolos : transfigures item into clock/watch
Wand mortion three tight clockwise circles with a final flick of the wand

Glancing up with a start at his shrill whistle, the Ravenclaw prefect jumped to her feet. With a whistle like that it was miracle her ears weren't ringing. Small steps took her to the front of the classroom where she handed in her parchment with a proud smile. "Here you are, Shaw. On behalf of the blue team." She might not be part of Team Shaw, but hopefully that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

SPOILER!!: Shaw, quesitons, and barking cloak

Hearing other students' responses on the different types of transfiguration, the Ravenclaw prefect nodded in agreement even as she sat herself down in her seat once again.

Eyes widening as the cloak raced forward, barking energetically and jumping onto her and the other students who had chosen to sit in the front, Ivory felt her shocked expression relax into a smile as the cloak bounced. It didn't seem dangerous but she could imagine how that circumstance could change if the spell had been tried by a younger student.

Understanding lighting her features as her hand reached out to pat the cloak hesitantly, she piped up."I guess that the reason maybe some of our spells won't work outside of the theoretical sense is because the different types of transfiguration dictate in what way spells have to be designed. One can't just translate what they want into Latin and expect it to be a working spell. You have to know what type of transfiguration you are about to do in order for it to work. And," She continued on in a rush. "You have to know in what way to use them. If one uses a conjuring spell on an item rather than a transfiguration spell, I imagine the results would be unpredictable. Or vice versa." Hence the barking cloak, maybe?
