SPOILER!!: Haddie

Nana nodded her agreement. She herself had always had a fondness of spiders, and had hoped to become one with her animagus form, but…. Welll.. Fate had been especially funny in that regard.

She opened the parchment as she returned to her desk. A leaf. Just as she had expected… But…

…. It was dark green and soft to the touch, not at all the prickly greenish-yellow that she knew Mandrake leaves to be. “Miss Daneker, I would like you to come to my office after class.” She simply said, hiding her bewilderment as best she could.

This was just plain strange.

----------------------------

”Now that everyone has become acquainted with their subjects, it’s time to move on to the practical portion of our lesson. This is the part where you should be paying attention. The most important part of this exercise will be using your imagination to envision your creature transforming into it’s new form. This is something that is very key in animagus training and more complicated branches of Transfiguration and transmutation in Transfigurations sister science Alchemy. If you don’t take this step seriously you’re more likely to end up with an eight-legged prickly pear or a leaf with eyes. A common mistake of many amatuer transfigurers.” a funny, albeit.. Disturbing mistake, indeed.

With a tap of her wand and a softly muttered charm, the once-dormant chalk rose and began to write across the previously clean chalkboard.

“Now, I understand that these transformations are of the more mundane variety, but through learning the more simplistic spells first you create a proper foundation for the more advanced work soon to come. Man may not walk first, he must crawl and if he never crawls he will not learn to fly.” something the more impatient among them would have to learn. ”Live Transfiguration is difficult for many reasons. You must have an understanding of the creatures you’re working with… And that is man included. The more complex the shape, the more difficult the process will prove, This is why many wizards never achieve their goals of becoming animagi while many injure themselves or their subjects to the point of ill return. If you take your time, truly focus and practice then in no time you’ll have no trouble changing rocks into labradors and so on.,”

“Now why is this considered so troublesome a branch? Fundamentally Transfiguration is the complete remaking of a subjects’ atoms, but you must also remember that the essence of the subject comes into play. You cannot change the essence, even if you were to try, it is impossible, for the natural soul of the thing will always remain. Inanimate or not. But with a living creature, the essence will fight off a weak Transfiguration spell the why antibodies fight off germs. This is what causes a werewolf their painful transformations, while the animagus may change at will without even a flinch. Or why a forcefully transfigured human will lose themselves completely to their new shape. This is why you must be gentle in your applications, and treat your living subjects with respect.”

”The spells we’re working with today are simplistic, but will give you an example of what deeper living transfiguration is like.”

”Now. I believe it is time to begin your spellwork. As I said, treat your subjects with respect. Many of you, i see have named them. This is a good step forward, and I suggest if you are worried about your spellwork that you take a moment to calm yourself and take more time in getting to know your animal. Those of you who are confident, take a moment of contemplation before your attempt. Calm your thoughts and think of your creature. Envision the transformation they are to go through and envision, clearly in your mind what they will look like after. This is a very important step.”

“After you’ve done that, proceed with your spellwork. If you have any questions or need any assistance, don’t hesitate to raise your hand and I won’t hesitate to come by. If you wish to work on more than one creature you may after your first. But I ask that you revert your subject using Reverto before moving on.”

And somehow, all that talking had managed to make the woman quite tired. It must have been the heat. Lord, she couldn’t wait until she could return her classroom to it’s normal coolness.

OOC: Main activity time! No post requirements for this one. You can make as many little posts or big posts as you like for this step. The points will be awarded by creativity. Please do title your posts with your creature and an indication if you are making more than one.

Then her eyes went wide as Professor Ichihara took the parchment where she spit her leaf out in off her desk. If Itchy Mara decided to check, she'd be busted and probably get another detention. But there was no stopping it now. If Hadley objected, the Professor would know something was up. So she simply nodded. "Thank you, Professor." Nana nodded her agreement.
