Adam quickly wrote down the homwork and then nodded to Professor Craft and then left the classroom.

Angel8807 · 08-08-2006, 05:19 PM

Angel wrote down the assignment then watched as the younger students left the class room. Angel then looked back towards the professor and noticed the smile was gone. Professor Ganymede was now smirking at them? Angel swallowed hard and glanced down at her snail. Some how she was starting to wonder if she should pretend to be a younger student and sneak out. The hufflepuff bit her lip to keep from giggling at the thought. She then positioned her quill so that she could start taking notes if needed.

Siriana Red · 08-08-2006, 05:24 PM

Siriana wrote the homework on her parchment and picked up all her belongings. Before passing through the door she noticed a smirk on the Professor's face, she shrugged her shoulders and walked out of class to go to the owlery.

Kay wrote down the homework and watched as the other students left the classroom. I wonder why us older students need to stay? she thought to herself.

GanymedeCraft17 · 08-08-2006, 05:26 PM

:: Professor Ganymede's smirk turned into a sneer as the younger students left.

"Alright you older students are going to like this. We are going to transfigure snails into erasers. These have a tendency to explode if you don't do the spell very well."

The sneer was softened as she reached into a nearby jar and plucked a gooey snail.

"Snails are invertebrates. Please, can someone tell me the definition of an invertebrate?" She absentmindedly poked her snail while she looked out at the class. ::

Rave's hand shot up, "Any animal without a backbone."

Kay raised her hand. "An invertebrate is any animal species without a spinal column."

:: Professor Ganymede smiled, "Yes. 10 points to Slytherin."

Professor Ganymede moved her snail to the middle of her desk and made a jabbing motion with her wand.

"The correct wand movement for this spell is.. a jabbing motion." She watched as the snail slowly crept across her desk. "Also, at the end of this lesson, I need you all to wipe your desks." She added as a slimy trail formed on her desk.

"Now everyone take out a snail from the jar." She instructed uneasily. ::

QuidditchChick · 08-08-2006, 05:33 PM

Amber was going to raise her hand, but Kay and Rave had beat her to the answer. She made note of the homework, but was rather curious as to why the older students had to stay.

Amber watched carefully as the Professor demonstrated the proper wand movements. When she instructed them to retrieve a snail, she reached into the jar and set the slimy thing on her desk with a wrinkle of her nose. She never did like snails.

Raider · 08-08-2006, 05:37 PM

Rave grinned at the Professor as she was awarded points. Rave took her snail and placed it on her desk waiting to hear further instructions. Note to self: Jabbing motion with your wand she thought

demented_death_eater · 08-08-2006, 05:37 PM

Kay watched Gany perform the correct wand movements and then proceeded to retrieve a snail from the jar. She placed the slimy snail on her desk and waited for further instructions.

Davvy_Wavvy · 08-08-2006, 05:38 PM

Davina reached into the jar and pulled out a snail.She shivered slightly,feeling terrified of the snail."Eww eww eww"she said softly to herself.She put the snail on the desk and watched it move slowly,leaving a trail of slime

Angel8807 · 08-08-2006, 05:40 PM

Angel blinked and looked around at everyone else. Maybe I should have tried to sneak out... Angel thought as she sighed softly and went to get a snail. The snail was ... well... slimy. There was no way to explain it. Angel tried to keep her face from scrunching up into weird shapes and she seemed to doing a good job. She made her way back to her desk and placed the small creature back on her desk top. Angel was careful to move her notes up towards the right corner so that the snail had the rest of the desk to slide around on.

griffin_girl · 08-08-2006, 05:42 PM

g_g got a snail from the jar. she held it by its shell as to not to touch the slimy body. she put it on her desk. the snail popped its head out. I hate slime... she thought.

GanymedeCraft17 · 08-08-2006, 05:44 PM

:: Professor Ganymede sighed, "Not just a jabbing motion. That was close. First circle then jab." She re-showed the motion, now with a circular motion at the beginning. "My snail would have exploded. Please take extra note of the circular motion."

She did the circular motion and jabbed. "Now for the spell. 'Inverta Gastri'. The Gastri is for the snail. If it was another invertebrate you'd use a different usage."

"The sixth and seventh years, please try it silent a few times also."

She did the motion, said the spell and a small pink eraser was in the slimey snail's place.

"Alright. Now you try." Professor Ganymede said as she crouched behind her desk. ::

griffin_girl · 08-08-2006, 05:50 PM

g_g smiled and nodded. Okay, Zyra...silently, now. she told herself. she did the circular motion then jabbed her wand at the snail just as the professor taught them. Inverta Gastri! she thought. a flash of light came out from her wand and hit the snail. the snail popped its head back in its shell, then suddenly, began to change color. it changed shape, then no more snail...just a pink eraser on her desk...I did it!!! she thought happily.

Angel8807 · 08-08-2006, 05:51 PM

Angel nodded paying attention to Professor Ganymede's instruction. She practiced the motions making sure to complete the circular motion before going into the jab. While practicing she kept a picture of the profressor's pink eraser in her mind and thought the words, "Inverta Gastri."
Angel was getting ready to do the spell when she noticed her snail was about to glide right off her desk! Angel grumbled and picked the snail up by the shell and placed it back in the middle of her desk. She then tried to clear her thoughts and began to repeat the preparation process.

Davvy_Wavvy · 08-08-2006, 05:56 PM

Davina repeated the procedure in her mind.She did the routine just as the professor had said but her nerves got to her just as she jabbed it and the snail exploded.Davina ducked under her desk just in time to avoid any splatter.

QuidditchChick · 08-08-2006, 05:57 PM

Amber listened as the Professor corrected herself. She concentrated on the motions and practiced them, uttering the spell in her mind. She had to keep redirecting the snail so it would stop moving towards the edge. "I'll fix you." she thought with a sly grin. "Immobulus." she whispered, pointing her wand at the slimy snail. It remained fixed to it's spot. She smiled. She began to clear her thoughts so that she could perform the spell correctly.

demented_death_eater · 08-08-2006, 05:58 PM

Kay carefully watched Gany perform the spell and was thankful that she didn't have the snail explode all over the classroom (which was something Professor Perry would have done).

She took a deep breath and repeated the steps over and over again in her head. Circle then jab . . . circle then jab . . . clear your mind, Kay or else the class will be wearing snail bits, she thought ruefully and finally decided it was time to attempt the spell.

The snail had been trying to make its getaway but had only managed to move 3 inches on her desk. Kay lifted her wand and did the simple circular motion and jabbed. Inverta Gastri! she said silently and saw the snail's shell transform into a pink eraser. However, the pink eraser was leaving a slimy trail on her desk as it tried to escape.

Raider · 08-08-2006, 05:58 PM

Rave nodded and loked at her snail, "Inverta Gastri!" she said doing the exact motion Ganymede had done. All that was left was a small eraser, she grinned and tried it a few more times before trying to do it silently. She said the incantation in her head and did the wand movement but nothing happened.

Sitting back in her chair a bit, Rave took a deep breath and tried to clear her mind. She consentraited (sp?) in the spell and tried it one last time. "Inverta Gastri!" she said in her head and lo and behold, a pink eraser.

Angel8807 · 08-08-2006, 06:00 PM

Angel was once again getting ready to cast her spell when she heard something like a small explosion. Angel turned her head to see snail slim all over Davina's desk with Davina underneath. Angel winced slightly and looked at her snail. "You better not explode on me." Angel murmured as she cleared her throat and tried to focus once more.

GanymedeCraft17 · 08-08-2006, 06:07 PM

:: Professor Ganymede peeked up from behind her desk. When she did she was splatterd with a bit of slime.

"Concentrate please." She wiped her face off with an old scarf she found in the desk from a teacher before.

As she stood up she tapped her eraser, turning it back into a pink snail. It didn't move for several minutes. All the while, Professor Ganymede strolled cautiously about the room. ::

Davvy_Wavvy · 08-08-2006, 06:13 PM

"Sorry Professor"Davina squeaked.She went over the procedure in her mind once more.She breathed in deeply and did the circular movement,then the jab and said the spell."Her other snail that she got turned into a pink eraser.She sighed with relief.

Angel8807 · 08-08-2006, 06:14 PM

Angel cleared her mind and practiced the motion. Circle ... jab... circle ... jab She thought over and over again. All the while keeping the picture of a tiny pink eraser in her mind. Angel whispered, "Inverta Gastri." Angel pointed her wand directly at the snail and smiled as it started to turn a pink color. After a few more moments the shell had lost it's shape and the snail no longer was gooey and slimy. Angel titled her head off to the side and slowly picked up the eraser. She turned it around and even touched the bottom. She then placed it back on her desk happy that she had been successful.
