Sophia checked her watch. Oh crap, it was almost 8:16, she was so behind time. A swift wave of her wand cause to the door to shut itself then lock. There would certainly be no late comers in her class and she would be making no exception when the end of year game and people had fallen behind. Nope.
If everyone here could make the effort to get to class on time, it obviously could be done. One point for everyone and their effort!
Right, so the clouds were behaving better than she had expected them to. Not once did she have to charm them to get them going again or anything. That perhaps had a lot to do with how cold things had gotten around here. All the clouds were thriving...why if they didn't figure out why---right right she was off thoughts again...class time.
"Good morning everyone and welcome to another Transfiguration class! My mood is not so foul today, so the person who changes that will rue the moment they do." And that was a promise. Yep.
"Congratulations to everyone who managed to get their clouds working and for those who didn't..well your clouds seemed to want to work so they corrected themselves..." Quite odd but she'd investigate later.
"Now I plan to kick out any whiners, so for those who want you can take a seat on a stool. As you all can see, we have a garden setting here and by now you all know why. This place should be transformed into a beautiful ice garden. Now that we have the snow we can all move on to making the ice crystals or in this case, the ice flowers, which you will plant in the garden." She looked around the class for any confused faces.
"The spell we will be using today is Orchideous Stiriacus. What it will do is to conjure ice flowers from your wand which you will then plant in the garden. Now you all know that conjugation is the third branch of transfiguration right?" Her eyes narrowed at all of them. Or did she need to do a full blown lesson on conjugation because Merlin knew these kids didn't read.
"The wand movement for this spell is moving your wand in a semi circular motion in a clockwise direction. If you do the opposite you will end up creating a wreath. There will be no wreaths in my garden. If you have no questions...begin."

So he was pretty excited about this activity, and having a great opportunity for Bellaire to be proud of him. Theodore pulled out his wand and adjusted his sitting position into a more comfortable one. Semi circular, clockwise... easy. He practiced this a few times to get the hang of it, but didn't spend too long on it.
Now for the pronounciations. Well, he knew the first part off by heart. "Orchideous... Stiria-cus." Weeeeeeeeeird word. "Stir-ia-cus." Like a stirring circus, he thought, and that would be how he remembered it "Orchideous Stiriurcus!" Ehhhhhhh... close enough.
Prepping himself for the wand movement, Theo gave his wrist a wiggle, cleared his throat aaaand... "Orchideous Stiriacus!" It came out louder than he had expected, mostly because he wanted Professor Bellaire to see. Viola, a bouquet of ICY flowers appeared out of the tip of his wand. Like a BAWS.
Hmm if there was one thing West was decent at it was Transfiguration. He quietly repeated the incantation, Orchideous Stiriacus, under his breath a few times and then dutifully made the semi circular clockwise movement with his wand.... but that was interesting that anti-clockwise would make a wreath. West kinda wanted to test that but later because he didn't want to be the one to turn Bellaire's mood.
He glanced over at Theo and grinned a bit seeing his mate had got it. That was always good, he knew how much it meant to Theo to impress this particular professor... even if West would never understand how their relationship worked. Weird stuff that. Theo wasn't even close to being Bellaire's best student, and she was all pureblood-y and Theo was a muggleborn. Was just weird.
Anyways it was his turn to do what he needed to do.
"Orchideous Stiriacus." West said quietly but firmly, and matched that with the clockwise almost-circle motion of his wand... and conjured a bouquet of perfect icy flowers.
... well what? He was a seventh year, this stuff wasn't hard. But he was gonna try and do it non-verbally now.
He glanced at Mo since the Ravenclaw was chattering right next to him. Chattering with cold that was.
"You want for me to charm your robes to keep warm?" Because that was what West had done and he had less body fat to keep warm than Mo did.... and since the blue bell flames that Bellaire had cast wasn't enough for him? Yeah.
