Angel had returned Davina a quick wink to show that she had heard her. After all she'd hate to be rude. While people were calling out different sides of the coin Angel took out her note taking material. She then went back to watching Professor Ganymede and her coin.

Beck noticed the nice girl that she had met on the train, Stacey, walk in and sit down. She raised her hand in a small wave and smiled.

Tia wondered for a moment, contemplating on the Professor's question. She licked her lower lip without realizing it, feeling very thirsty all of a sudden. In fact, she felt very - dizzy.... She had been okay only a few seconds ago... She stared at the boards in front of her, feeling rather faint.

"Stars, please, Professor," she heard herself say, dimly aware that her hand was in the air before she suddnly lowered it with a jerk and bit her lip. She lowered her head, wondering why she was feeling so, all of a sudden. It had to be just a feeling, she told herself, straightening up again.

Stacey noticed Beck wave from across the room. She gave a rather large smile back and hear the professor as "heads or stars?" "I say stars, Professor," she spoke as she folded her hands in front of her while making herself comfortable in her chair. She then looked to all the new students entering the room.

Prancie thought then raised her hand, "Stars?"

:: Professor Ganymede nodded, "Stars?" She flipped the coin. It landed on Stars.

"We shall begin with making our house pins." She smiled and stood up. She walked over to a desk and took a green button and a safety pin. She then waved her wand in the simple swish and flick motion and said the spell.

"Swish and flick is easy. Swish and flick." She illustrated the motion again.

"The spell, 'Ter meta funi' is used on smaller objects. Usually the objects have metal in them, or an earth mineral. Now, I shall make my pin."

She placed the button on the desk, swished and flicked and said clearly, "Ter Meta Funi". The button popped and in it's place was a shiny green wooden snake.

"Now for the younger students, I can help you connect the pin to the transfigured button. Or, you can take a shot at a connecting charm. This isn't a binding spell, more like a sticking spell."

She placed her pin on the back of her green wooden snake. She then poked her wand toward it and said, "Aditio". A spider web like string shot at the pin and made it stick together.

"It's like muggle glue I think." She explained while fastening her pin onto her shirt.

"Now, you all try. Yours doesn't have to look like mine. Try making a wooden snitch with the gold buttons or small lions head with the red ones." She told them while walking about the desks. ::

Sean took out his wand, pointed it at his pin and said in swish-and-flick motion, "Ter Meta Funi."

Beck took a deep breath and consentrated on saying the spell "Te Meter Fune" she said. And waited to see what would happen.

Tas rubbed her chin and took the gold button off the table. She turned to her cousin and raised her eyebrow, then turned back to her button and touched it with her wand.

"Ter Meta Funi", she said aloud and waited for the result... the button popped and turned into a wooden ball, but with no wings.

Adam took to gold buttons on both of them he swish and flick his wand and said "Ter meta funi" one turned into a snitch and the other into a badger and then he said "Aditio" and strings came from his wand and connected trhe pin to the wooden scupltures.

Prancie grinned, swish and flick reminded her of her first year when she had learmned to make things fly.

She pointed her wand at her pin and swished and flicked, she didn't say the charm aloud, she was 6th year and used non-verbal spells quite effectively. She thought Ter Meta Funi and her lovely Gryffindor pin clattered to her desk merrily.

Prancie attatched the pin too

Angel smiled and tried not to laugh. She was much happier with button making than playing with the slimy snails. The Hufflepuff then picked up a gold button and pin. All the while she was thinking of the possible use these could bring for house pride.
After she had her supplies Angel practiced the swish and flick motion a couple times while practicing her pronuciation of the spell. After Angel was comfortable and she had an idea of what shape she wanted the Seventh year preformed the motion and clearly said, "Ter Meta Funi." With a small popping noise the gold pin turned into the shape of a broom stick. "Now isn't that lovely." Angel cooed to herself. Angel then said "Adito" and watched as the sticky string stuck between the pin and the now broomstick button. Angel wrote down the spells and what they did in her note book. She then wrote down what had happened and a rough sketch of her button.

Max saw Tas raise her brow at him and laughed obviously understanding that she meant Professor Craft and her Slytherin pride and then choked with laughter after his cousin's button turned into a simple wooden ball. Her took his own red button and pointed his wand at it.

He cleared his throat dramatically. "Ter Meta Funi", he said still pointing his wand. The button shook a little and with a pop turned into a small lion head that looked somewhat like the one on the Gryffindor badges. He beamed at Tas showing the results of his work and stuck his tongue out.

Davina took up a pin.She thought for a bit on what she wanted it to look like and wondered if it was Ok for her to make one seeing as she was an older student.She however said the charm and did the correct wand movement.Her pin turned into a little badger that was chewing the head off a serpent.She smiled fondly at it.

Stacey took her items in front of her and was ready to began with the swish and flick motion of her wrist. Thinking of something good for the Hufflepuff pride, especially since Christy was their new Captain, she finally came up with a pattern that she liked. With a flick her wrist she spoke "Ter Meta Funi" as the button formed into the shape of a Badger holding pom-poms in it's hands.

Stacey smiled as she picked up the small form and realized she needed to add the pin to complete the project. Picking up the pin, she placed it on the object and spoke, "Aditio". White weblike string emerged from the tip of her wand and was placed on the pin. She then placed the sticky pin onto the back of the Badger and was finished with her first assignment.

After Sean's button had turned into a raven. He then swish-and-flicked and said, "Adito." A web emerged from his wand an it attached the raven to the pin.

Jordana looked at the items in front of her and thought for a moment. "Hmm...what should I make?" After a few seconds of pondering what it was she wanted to make, she decided on making an Eagle carrying the Golden Snitch in its claws."

She picked up her wand, and with a swish and flick, she uttered the words, "Ter Meta Funi". Suddenly the button was no longer a button but an Eagle holding onto the Golden Snitch. Jordana marveled at her creation and felt a sense of pride. She placed the pin on the back and said, "Aditio". A small stream of light ignited from the tip of her wand and hit the safety pin, that was now a part of the whole pin.

Picking up the pin and examining it, Jordana was pleased with what she had just done. She set it down and looked around at her classmates as they worked on their pin project.

Siriana took her blue button and her pin. She raised her hand, pointed her wand at the blue button, swished and flicked and clearly uttered "Ter Meta Funi". The button popped and there it was; a blue eagle with wings spread and tiny tiny clouds around it for her house. She took the pin and put it at the back of the blue eagle, pointed her wand on it again and uttered "Aditio" so that the button and the pin stick. Web strings sprung from the tip of her wand and forced the eagle and pin stick together.

Davina then put her button next to the pin and said quite clearly"Aditio"she button stuck to the pin.She took it up and fastened it onto her robe.

Davina then realised that she had her own work to do.She looked at the snail infront of her and cringed.

Rave leaned back in her chair waiting for the younger students to get done. Slytherin needed points and Transfiguration was the best place to get them.

Angel finished taking notes on what she had learned from the button making and looked at the snails. She knew that this lesson had been too short if they were done with the buttons. It was possible the buttons had only been a refreshing course so that they would be warmed up to practice on the snails. Angel took her quill and pressed it against the snails shell. She wrinkled her nose slightly at the thin trail of slim. It could be worse... Angel reassured herself.

:: Professor Ganymede sat at her own desk and watched now.

"All students need to write seven lines on this spell and it's application. It will be due in two days." She smiled at the younger students and said, "First through Third years are dismissed. Fourth through Seventh need to stay."

She turned to the board and rubbed her left cheek. All the smiling was hurting her face. She was trying to be nice to all her students. She still favored Slytherin over all houses. She missed scowling at people though.

When she turned around, her smile was more of a smirk. ::

Sean wrote down his homework, picked up his things and left.

Davina looked at the Professor feeling slightly alarmed at her smirk"Ok then"she said quietly to herself.She looked at the snail again and then ran her finger over her new quidditch button.My friends are going to get a kick out of this.Davina thought as she looked at the badger thatwas chewing the serpents head.(not moving)

Jordana listened to Professor Ganymede and when she stated the Homework, she wrote it down, and was glad that they had been dismissed. Transfiguration wasn't exactly Jordana's favorite class. The memory of her being completely ignored last term when she clearly stated the answer to the professors question first always came to mind. She knew that she favored a certain house, but Jordana pushed the thought aside.

She packed her things away in her bag. When she was done she stood up and walked out of the room, not looking at anyone.
