Dez started to play with her catapiller with nothing better to do. She let it crawl all over her hands.

Jake looked down at his notes, he wrote down everything think he thought would be of use when studying for exams. He think looked down at his catipillar and said. "Anomac Ananimas". The catipillar quivered slightly but nothing happened at all. He looked down at his notes and finally realized that he had the incantation wrong. Second time he looked down at his catipillar and said "Animaic Inanimus" and with the flick of his wand the catipillar morphed into a perfectly usable n.2 pencil. "I did it, this is incredible, never transfigured anything before." He then looked around the classroom to find and some of his freinds.

Danni eyed the class with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face. She didnt miss much, her old job had trained her for that, and unlucky for them she had very good vision. "Alright everyone thats it for today, dont worry I'll save you the trip to my desk. Accio ALL caterpillars in the room!" she said with a hidden giggle. All the caterpillars from around the room and Tag's pocket zoomed to her desk and landed gently on the surface. "I counted these so I know if I'm mising any." she said with a knowing look, "And they are now going back to the Fruit grove." She quickly picked out the caterpillar Tag had used and placed it in her palm, "Homework. I want 10 examples of what animal would be easy to turn into what object and why. The better answers will earn more points and 20 points is the most you can get. Class dismissed."

Walking over to Tag's desk she placed his caterpillar down on his desk, "Here, you can keep him. Want to go with me to let the others go?" she asked with a friendly smile, she got the feeling she scared the boy for some reason.

Lisa Jotted Down The Homework And Collected Her Things. She Said Her Goodbyes To Her Friends And Asked The Professor "When Is This Due?".

Chikie wrote down the homework. She stood up and walked to the front of the class. "that was a great lesson Professor" she said on her way out. Her first Transfiguration class was over and now she was heading back to the common room to start on her homework.

Although he was tempted to place a million little caterpillars all over the girl's hair, Zander simply turned around once more, gave the girl an angry look and shook his head sidewise. He frowned once more at the girls face he seemed to remember and turned back, hopefully for the final time.

Soon afterwards, the professor dismissed the class and Zander was slightly relieved. He stood, clutching his books and thanked the professor before leaving.

Marie wroted down her homework. She thought this shouldn't be to hard. She puted everything back into her bag & leave the class.

Lisa Walked over to Zander "Want to go down to lake and start and Talk?" She asked with a hopeful smile, Lisa loved t make new friends and she kind of wanted to ask about the look he had gave her.

Sylvia rolled her eyes and turned back to her book and packed up. She caught up with the boy and grabbed his arm before he could make it out of the room, "What was that about?" She asked, she still wanted to know what that face he had been making was all about.

Maya sighed and packed her wand back up and shuffled her books and parchment, ink and quills all back into her muggle backpack. She sighed, missing her guitar and left the classroom with a sigh. She'd finish the homework at the lake or someplace else.

Chloe gathered her things together and stood from her seat. On her way out she noticed several cute boys in the class and smiled to herself.
'Oh yeah, I'm gonna like this class,' she thought to herself. 'Uggh. Homework... oh well. I'll finish it in the dorm.'

After Athena had gotten her catipillar from the front of the room, she walked back to her seat. She looked at her catipillar "Please coorporate with me." She asked it in a pleading whisper. Taking out her wand she pointed it at the catipillar, "Animaic Inanimus." She said, trying to sound firm, but apparently not firm enough, the catipillar continued to squirm around the table. Sighing, she pushed back the sleeves on her robes, determidly looked at the bug and pointing her wand said, "Animaic Inanimus." Amazingly her catipillar instantly turned into a pencil, "Wow!" She whispered to herself. Saying, "Inanimus Finite" she expected the catipillar to turn back as easily. After several minutes she was finally able to get the bug to return to normal. She continued practicing until she could do it on the first try.

While the class began to rise and gather there things, Kerry was determined to get the spell right before she left. She looked down at her caterpillar, and concentrated. Raising her wand she whispered the words, "Animaic Inanimus." The caterpillar began to slowly raise in the air, and shake a bit before dropping down again. Hmmmm, Kerry thought to herself, not confident she could do it. Just then it struck her! Perhaps that's why it's not working. I'm just not confident in myself.

Not caring that the entire class was walking out around her, she placed the caterpillar on the center of the desk and stood up. Clearing her, throat - she said the spell more clearly and confidently as she pointed her wand squarely at the caterpillar. "Animaic Inanimus." The caterpillar raised in the air once again. Kerry gasped, thinking she was never going to get it, when suddenly there was a soft pop, and the caterpillar transformed into a pencil.

Picking up the pencil, Kerry squealed with glee. Taking a parchment out of her bag, she wrote the homework down with the pencil. Smiling that the pencil actually worked, too - but hoping it didn't hurt the poor caterpillar. Suddenly, she felt the pencil come flying from her hand as the Professor calls out "Accio" and ducks quickly as catepillars and pencils come flying at her, straight towards the teachers desk

Kerry quickly packs her bags, and quietly left the room.

Miley wrote down her homework and left class.

Jake leered up at the board, wrote down his homework and some stray parchment and left for the library to work.

Tasha stood from the last desk in the far row to get a better look at the assignment. After jotting it down and closing her book, she left the classroom rather enthused.

Cassandra was writing down the homework.

"Professor?" She began, "Does the Caterpillar cease to exist when we perform this spell? So that it dies, then is born, then lives? Or is it still conscious as a pencil? Or is it what muggles call comasnose? or comarose? or comatoes?"

Cassandra then looked at the caterpillars and with a gitty voice added "If we only change half of then, like just the heads, would they still remain alive? Or would they die?"

Connor shook his head.

Tag watched helplessly as the fruits of his Larvae Liberation Task Force suddenly came flying out of his pocket and zoomed back to the Professor's desk. He tried to snatch them from the air, but it was too late. He slumped down in his chair. Two caterpillars had exploded, none had been saved, and he had failed. Not to mention he had failed to learn the spell as well. It was a perfect no-hitter sort of class. Tag banged his head intentionally on the desk before him.

He quickly stood up when Professor Pride approached him. She's going to let them go? I can have this one? Tag eyed her suspiciously, bracing himself for her to suddenly yell, "Just kidding! One week detention!" or grab the caterpillar back and laugh maniacly while dangling it over her mouth.

"Ummmm. . . okay," Tag replied uncertainly. He picked up his original caterpillar. "But I think we ought to release them away from the bird nests. And maybe we could keep one, and see what kind of butterfly it turns into?" He smiled hopefully. Maybe she was going to be an okay sort of professor.

When Professor Pride dismissed the class, Tia grinned inwardly. All in all, it had been a fun class – You couldn’t say it hadn’t been so. Incidentally, it had also been the first class she had attended this term.

Having written down her homework, she began to gather her belongings, hastily stuffing them in her bag.

She zipped it shut, then patted it fondly. She had a certain fondness for that bag which she couldn’t explain. Maybe it was the colour.

Her mind wandered off to what her next lesson was about as she slung her bag over her right shoulder. Then, hoisting it more securely over her shoulder, she swiftly rose from her seat.

“Great lesson, Professor,” she said as she passed Professor Pride on her way outside the class. And she meant it in a nice way, too. No, really, she did.

Neva taps her nose in the hope that Sylvia is looking her way

[/quote] Never you mind me dear. If I were to divulge to another person it would make the risk of being discovered greater. Lets just say he will well and tru;ly have lost his touch with the ladies after this encounter.[/quote]

Neva hands the note to Sylvia on her way out of the classroom.

Kemma watched as Tag and Professor Pride went to free what remained of her caterpillars. She looked down at her desk, not wanting to catch anyone's eye. This was the worst class...ever! There being nothing like a little involuntary manslaughter to put a downer on the day, Kemma felt certain that this was absolutely the most miserable, terrible and awful day of her life.

After a spending a few more minutes engaged in self-recriminations and bitter lamentations, Kemma determined that the only thing to do was to sit down and practice to perfection every single spell (on inanimate objects, where possible) before every class. By heavens, there would be no more blood (or guts, she amended) on her hands! She would make sure of that.

However, the first thing she needed to do was scrub all evidence of caterpillar insides from her wand. Not only was it a painful reminder, but it was totally grossing her out. Grabbing her things, Kemma kept her head down and practically ran all the way to the dormitory.

"Homework will be due Nov. 27th by midnight EST, and yes the caterpillars go into a coma-like state." "Of course we'll let them go away from the birds, that wouldnt be very nice." Danni answered wrinkling her nose. "Sure! We can keep yours aswell if you want. I'm keeping Snork here.'' she said gesturing to her shulder where the green and blue spotted caterpillar sat.

She walked to her desk and placed Snork in an empty jar with leaves in it. "I'll pick him up on the way back in. Come on, lets go to the tree grove." she said picking up the jars of caterpillars.

AJ walked by the entrance to the Transfiguration classroom just in time for it to end, and saw a sad little girl run out. "whats the matter?" she began to ask, but the girl had run off. she giggled, oh well, she'd be sure to attend the next one, afterall the first ones were always the most accident-prone. She saw Professor Pride, a new teacher, exiting the room with a jar of blue and green wiggling things, and her face, which was filled with boredom, immediately turned into a smile. "Professor! I am so sorry i missed your class today," she said entering, "can i help you carry these?" she asked reaching for a jar of what she now saw was caterpillars. "what are you going to be doing with all these? not giving them to the potions master are you?" she looked up, concerned, these things were nearly cute.

Danni's instant reaction when someone was reaching towards her was usualy to slash at what ever was coming at her with her sword but, since her sword was currently on the wall of her office, she settled for slaping the hand away. "Sorry kid, just a reaction I have." she said as an apology, "Tag and I were just on our way outside to let these go, the homework for class is on the board by the way." she added with a wink.
