Default Transfiguration homework #2
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#

The Transfiguration homework seemed rather simple, so Paulina had a feeling that it wouldn't take her too long to complete it. Good thing because it was due the next day.

Oops.

She felt that she couldn't really be blamed for procrastination because NEWT studying had been steadily taking over more and more of her life. Honestly she would be happy when it came time for graduation even though she had really started to like the castle and didn't want to leave all the friends she had made here.

Plopping herself down in one of the chairs by the fireplace, Paulina took out her wand. She had the Transfiguration spell she was going to try out picked out so she was ready to start. A cup was placed on the nearby table and she stared at it intently for a moment. Making a sideways figure eight with her wand, she called out "Avifors!" A bird appeared where the cup had been a moment before. "Awesome."

Figuring that it was best not to let it wreck havoc on the common room, she quickly reverted the spell. Time to try again but this time do everything wrong!

Paulina hunched forward in her seat as she drew another sideways figure eight with her wand. "Avifors!" Surprise surprise: nothing happened. Well, there had been a flash of electric blue light, but that was it. Basically being slouched wasn't a good thing. Time to see if saying the incantation wrong would work out better even though she already knew that it obviously wouldn't because experience and common sense.

Straightening up in her seat once more, Paulina drew another figure eight with her wand. "Aviverafors!" Another flash of electric blue light headed towards the cup before vanishing with a POOF but that was it. Paulina was used to that kind of thing because it had happened to her a fair bit when she was younger. That was part of why she took practicing new spells very seriously now. And the same went for spells that she hadn't used for a while because it was very easy to forget - especially for her.

To change things up, this time she was going to use the wrong wand movement. Pointing her wand at the cup, she drew a square shape. "Avifors!" Not even a flash of light greeted her this time. She supposed that was a good thing because electric blue hurt her eyes a fair bit. Hopefully she wouldn't be greeted with more of that the next time around.

"Okay, last time," she said as she pointed her wand at the cup. Instead of thinking about how she wanted to change it into a bird, Paulina thought about what she was going to have for dinner since she was starting to feel a little hungry. Thinking of a nice healthy salad, she drew a sideways figure eight. "Avifors!" Once more there wasn't even a flash of light, though there was a bit of smoke.

Clearly it paid off to combine all four elements - as she had done the first time around.
