Instead of offering an answer to the question that had been posed to the class, Stella had merely stayed quiet, looking at the flowers. There wasn't much point in repeating everyone else, after all. Even if she had known the metal object was a thimble. At least she'd managed to stop playing with her ring, and her attention had gone back to Professor Magnus as the thimble discussion came to a close. So they weren't actually doing any Transfiguration with the flowers this lesson, just making vases for them. That was interesting, even if she couldn't help but agree with Vickers' comment about the thimbles seeming more like they'd just replicated the buckets the flowers were currently in. Although, she well knew that the point of Transfiguration was to make things look different. Not just larger.

They needed to collect some thimbles for the lesson, though, so she stood up and walked over to the box. There were still quite a few left in there, but she still only took a semi-large handful before carrying them back to her desk. "Will we need to find our own flowers for homework?," she asked, raising her hand after placing about half of her thimbles inside her school bag, and the rest on her desk. She could hear Oberon starting to play with them, but hopefully nobody else would notice. Even metal tigers liked to play, it seemed.

"Those of you who said this is a thimble are quite correct.

"The spell itself is formed from two Latin words..." Picking up the chalk, Issy decided to write it on the board herself rather than use magic. "Flora, meaning flowers, or plants. And Teneo, meaning 'to hold'." "To hold flowers. A vase. Any kind that your imagination can come up with. And the flowers themselves will be for later, so you can all have some fun arranging them. Now, before I show you the wand movements, could you all come up and collect a handful of thimbles - you'll need some more for homework, so feel free to store them in your bags." Isabelle used her foot to shift the box to the front of the room. It was a little heavy, as there were hundreds of the things in there.
