She stared at her reflection and had to admit that she looked a bit foolish with the face paint and the large clown costume. "I intended it to be blue, but I think I said the incantation wrong, and I also lost some concentration at the end there."
"Please just remember, for the future, follow my instructions only." Isabelle gave the girl a smile as she inspected her spell work. "It's very nice though, I must say. Make sure you put the emphasis on the TAR section of the spell, and really concentrate on the colouring. Keep practising to perfect it."

"It takes alot more concentration to change just a small part of your hair, but it can be done," Issy nodded. "By all means have a go, just be sure to focus extra hard. And don't worry if you can't get it straight away."

How do you control the color, Professor ? " , asked Justin.
"Concentration and intent," Issy said, simply. "It's all important in Transfiguration, and Charms too. You need a clear mind, and to focus fully on the outcome of the spell. Just saying it doesn't work. Keep trying."

"Professor," Tori called out, waving her hand in the air, "Professor, does this color-changing spell work on other objects, like non-humans, too? Say, could it change the color of paint, perhaps?"

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeheheheheheehee.
Isabelle was slightly worried by the look on the child's face when she asked that question. It almost had mischief written all over it. Or was she just being over suspicious? Hmm.

"This particular spell only changes hair. And, although I've never tried, I suppose it could be used on an animal that had hair like fur. Why you would want to use it for that though...." Well, that was another matter. "Paint - no, I'm afraid not."

"Professor, Apart from hair and Eye color, what else can you change the color of with this 'Ris-TAR-is' spell?
"As I just explained to the young Slytherin here," Isabelle smiled, gesturing to Victoria slightly, "Ristaris can only be used on human hair, or possibly animals with hair. Nothing else."

SPOILER!!: The talkers

"Yes I guess so. I'm Harvey, Harvey Watson. Pleased to meet you too. Aah you are in the same house as my Minnie" Harvey said looking at the colors of Justin's uniform

"I sometimes wish that I was in Hufflepuff, so that I could spend every minute of every day with Minnie." He said looking at her "But the hat put me in Ravenclaw, aah well no biggie, we still get to see each in class and between classes. Isn't that right Minnie?" He asked her.

Justin took Harvey's hand and gave it a firm shake.
" Yeah, she's Pretty cool. We've only spoken a few times. I've got my eye on one as well, but I don't think she likes me that much though.I'm not really good around girls. That is accept for Minnie of course. " Said Justin as he poked her with his elbow and smiled.

If she hadnt it would be a different story right now, let me tell you that. So I am thankful she tickled me that day." He said smiling at Minnie.

Harvey was keeping his promise of not getting jealous of her talking to other guys, and he felt happy that he was not feeling jealous.

Issy frowned again. A sigh escaped her lips as well, as she walked over to the little group talking. "Can we have less chat and more practice please? Thank you."

A dummy? Was this boy really that nervous? More importantly, did she have one... "I might have a doll in the cupboard, but it's small," she said, tilting her head to look at him. "Is there some reason you don't want to try on yourself? They aren't dangerous spells, I promise you."

She had never struggled this much before and would have GLADLY accepted her hair melting to her head just to prove that she was at least performing some magic.

Her attention, however, was disrupted further when she heard some of the first years she had met recently talking among each other. She smiled, until conversation began to turn far away from the task at hand.

"Pssssst," she whispered, leaning over a bit. "Harvey, Minerva, Justin, I know you guys are excited about being able to perform spells and all," her voiced faded for just a moment. First years were performing the spell and she couldn't. At least no one suspected that she was incapable, right? For the first time ever she was actually glad to be a Metamorph. "...but...can you guys try to save the conversations about houses and whatnot until after class. Some people might not be able to concentrate on the spells." Like herself, but that wasn't entirely their fault.

Kurumi leaned back in her seat again and set her wand on the table, arms folded across her chest. This reminded her of a film she had watched as a child, one about a young witch who suddenly couldn't perform magic - like flying on a broom - because she was losing herself and her confidence. Was that what was happening now? Or had something been in her pumpkin juice?

After taking a few moments, she picked up her wand again and looked at her reflection. She hated doing it...but she didn't want to appear incapable and, well, she wasn't hurting anyone in using her abilities, right?

Kurumi closed her eyes again and focused on a color - the color of her eyes. But what feeling could she envoke that would make her hair turn the same color. Her thoughts, for some reason, focused on her own house and the lion that was on its crest. Kings of the jungle, Gryffindors had a sense of regality to their name. She thought about some of the nicknames given to her recently, Cookie Princess, Pretty Prefect Princess, Ambassador of Cuteness - Merlin, how did her father get in her head?! - and she began to feel something. Her eyes shot open and she immediately tapped her head. "Ristaris!"

Nervously, Kurumi peeked into the mirror and saw that her hair was now a violet color, but no thanks to the spell.
Isabelle zeroed her eyes in on the Gryffindor prefect the other side of the room. She hoped she was alright, after all - Issy had learned a bit about the girl this lesson. And her earlier question seemed to display a little nervousness.

"How are you getting on, Kurumi?" she asked, sidling up to her just after she'd changed her hair colour. "Did the first spell go okay?"

It sort of dawned on him that either way, he wasn't following directions. Even so, the whole thing made him nervous. There had already been yelling, and he didn't want to be involved in any more of it. Perhaps he could just wait for his hair to change on its own and pretend he'd done it with the spell. Sadly, he knew already that at the moment, his eyes were no longer hazel, hovering somewhere in the blue-grey zone instead.
So, he was already in trouble, if something like that became noticed. But he started to wonder just how it would be noticed. Did the professor check everyone's normal colouring before they'd started? Probably not. For all she'd know, that was the colour they had always been.
With a sigh, he took up his wand again and aimed to tap his head, looking in the mirror. But he was still too nervous to try, and put both items back down without doing anything.
And this one didn't seem to be doing anything at all.

Issy walked over to his desk and bent down next to his chair. "Are you alright? Anything I can help you with? I really would like you to participate." And if she could do anything to make that happen, she would.

Almost immediately he saw his slightly longer hair change to dark, dark, black. It was so black it resembled a raven, and it was shiny too, shiny black. It was definitely an unusual look for him and made his black eyes look extra creepy. Still, he could rock it. Maybe. It was very unclown like, so he repeated the spell and this time his hair changed to a pretty shade of green, grass green.

"Professor," He began after he raised his hand, "would these work any type of hair, including fur?" He wanted to know if he could use these spells to change the length and the color of Ino's fur. Her fur was very, very, very short, giving the impression that she didn't have any fur at all, but maybe he could make her into a fluffy kitty. Although, he didn't really want to, he was just curious.
What was it with them wanting to change the colour of animals? It was a good job that Issy didn't try and do it to Angel - she doubted it would be appreciated. But still, she nodded at Eino's question.

"I'm not sure the colour changing one would work on shorter, courser fur, only that which is more soft and hair like. Plus the lengthening spell might not be comfortable for the animals, what with the fact it can tighten the scalp. So I don't advise using that one in case you accidently cause unnecessary suffering." And she was fairly certain that none of them would want that.



"Alright guys, carry on as you are. Try different styles and colours. If you want help just let me know."
