"You are all correct, well done. Transfiguration is, put simply, changing one thing into another. Although, as Sierra and a couple of you pointed out, you can also conjure, vanish and untransfigure things."
Picking up the piece of paper she had left on her desk for the demonstration, Isabelle held it in front of her.
"Now the paper you have all been given will, hopefully, by the end of the lesson become a brand new picture frame for the photo's you all brought with you." She hadn't just asked them to bring them for her amusement. Although you never knew, some of them might be funny. Issy hadn't actually seen them yet.
Taking her wand out of her pocket again Isabelle placed it against the paper and drew a square around all four sides. With almost a pop the paper changed into a
gold picture frame that was slightly ornate.
"The incantation is 'Stat-UA HAB-itum' (Statua Habitum)....and you trace a square above the object you are changing. Because this is a new spell you're trying I've given you something square to use, in the paper, but it can work on any object no matter the shape. I'll explain where your photo's come into the practice a little later when you have all got used to the spell. For now you don't need them."
Putting the frame down on her desk, Isabelle spread her arms wide and smiled.
"Now I don't want you all to launch into changing things yet, please do refine each element of the spell before you try it for real. And don't be worried if it doesn't work first time. No one is perfect. Just revert it back to it's original state, using 'Reverto', and try again. And please, don't be afraid to ask for help!" OOC: You can begiiiiiin! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ EVERYTHING ISABELLE HAS ASKED YOU TO DO. No excessive chatter, and please don't blow anything up. lol This is my last post before bed, but Issy will be here the whole time. Remember that. 
Vickers looked down the the frame he held in his hand. He wasnt one for bring pictures around, but this one had always stayed on his bedside table-- it was the framed photo of his late mother. And he brought it with him when he moved to Hogwarts. He listened to the Professor demonstrate how to transfigure a photo frame out of paper. So did that mean he would eventually have to take his mother's photo out of the frame?
Gosh he had better do this spell right. The photo was too much of value to him to have him mess up.
He stashed his mother's photo back into his bag where it lay safer than in the midst of students practicing the spell. He eyed his notes and recalled how the Professor uttered the spell, the pronunciation playing over and over in his head. He whispered the spell a few times to himself until he got the hang of saying it properly
"Statua Habitum". Okay now for the paper. He drew it closer to himself and traced an outline of the square as he uttered
"Statua Habitum.." WHOOOOOOOOOOSHHHH
Flying paper. No it wasnt supposed to do that nuh uh.
