And then the lesson was continuing on, as Skylar had just about got her fish tank set up and arranged nicely, with Professor Stewart asking them about the green plant thingy in jars. Moss, yes, she knew that and its use in keeping a clean fish tank.

Huh? Why were they transfiguring moss balls into fish? Had she missed something? Hadn't the Professor just said they were useful in keeping a clean environment for the tanks? Also, did transfigured fish even have the ability to mate???? So many questions in the fifth year's brain right now, but then again, half of it went with the territory of just confusion in general about mating and growing up. Also, was it even a big deal if they did mate? Because then they'd have more fishies and wouldn't that be a GOOD thing? And did using moss balls to make their fishies mean that the fish would clean the fish tank? Because she was pretty sure there was a fish variety that helped keep fish tanks clean? And did they have to add water to their fish tanks before or after transfiguration? Because Professor Stewart hadn't mentioned anything about water. Oh, wait, use the water from the jars, which didn't seem like enough?

So after rearranging the three plants she now had, with two on either side of one of the rock stone things, and one next to the other stone, the fifth year focused on the water conjuration spell for a moment. She felt terribly behind in her inabilities thus far in casting nonverbal spells, but something as basic as a water conjuration spell she could do, right?! Aquamenti, she thought desperately, flicking her wand. Nothing. She could focus just fine with verbal spells, but when it came to nonverbal spells, it seemed as if she was doing something wrong. "Aquamenti," she whispered, a gentle stream flowing from her wand as her fish tank filled up halfway, before she cast finite.

Collecting the three jars from the front, Skylar returned to her desk and dumped one of the moss balls right into her fish tank. Perfect. She watched it settle to the bottom before turning her attention on the two remain moss balls, as she deliberated on what fish to turn it into. Two females, or just one male, but what did she do with the extra moss ball if she had one male?? The female fish was kind of prettier...

"Piscifors," she practiced of the incantation first... as she deliberated still what she wanted.
