Becca sat back and listened to everyone's answers, taking short notes of things which she did not know.

This Professor seemed plenty nice. Plenty. She was very... upbeat? Was that the right word? Eh, lively was more like it.

Actually transfiguring? This was where it got interesting. Becca grinned to herself.

Ella raised her hand. "Would Aguamenti be considered a conjuring charm?" Because you did conjure up water with it. She racked her brains for any other charms she could think of that conjured up anything. What was it that conjured up birds? Avos? Awiz?

"There's that.. bird-conjuring spell too.. I can't think of the name. Something with an A.." she answered. scrutinizing her face with concentration. She liked how cheery the teacher seemed to be. Ella had never seen one as happy and bright as her.

OH! And then there was one her brother Hunter had used when she had got a cut. "And Ferula! For conjuring up bandages and such? I don't think we have a need for those right now.. but just ideas.." Ella felt as if she was on a roll. Good brain.

Raising her hand Alexa smiled and said, "You mean like Aguamenti, ma'am? Because it conjures a stream or fountain of water, correct?" She smiled and shot a small wink over to Lorcan.

Destiny raised her hand and waved it around..again. She had to get the Professor's attention somehow. 'Incendio. That conjures fire.' Or something like that..

"There is the...avis spell Professor." she said, raising her hand. "Conjuring a flock of birds." Teehee, good times. Good times. Or what was that one that they had to do in DADA last year? Darn, she forgot! But she totally LOVED Destiny's answer. Fiiiiire.

Reese pulled out her wand and placed it on the table in front of her, then she raised her hand. "Aguamenti is a conja..conjurat...conjuring spell, Professor," she answered. Gah! For some reason, she couldn't pronounce the word 'conjuring' today. "It makes water come out of your wand," she added just in case some people might have forgotten.

"Professor?" Emily raised her hand. "If you cast a conjuring spell would you have to kno where somthing is before you conjure it then conjure that, and have it disappear from where it was, kind of like a summoning charm? OR would you just make one out of thin air?"

Audio looked around the room, listening to everyones answer as they started to speak. All the ones that Audio could think of at that moment were already said, so he just listened as the rest of the students began to answer.

Ziva sat there, not exactly sure what to do. She wasn't so sure about Transfiguration, she usually got frustrated quickly with it.

hmmm, "Miss, would the charm you would use to summon your food, and change its properties would that be a conjuring spell?" he liked that spell yum Food.

Cela did raise her hand for this one. "Ma'am? A lot of medical spells are conjuring spells. Antarius Ontin, Aidonsi Traci and Inurio Bani for example. They conjure an antiseptic cream, a brace and bandages respectively."

Natasha liked Transfiguration, it was fun. The new teacher was... Interesting. It was amazing how happy she seemed, it was good though. Better then being mean. It sort of made her feel all happy, too, not that she usually acted sad or anything. Hm, conjuring spells... She put her hand in the air. "There's Incarcerous, the rope binding spell, and Orchideous that conjures a bouquet of flowers." She smiled.

Raising her hand Marie says, "Professor, what about Lumos, it conjurs light at the end of your wand."

Becca raised her hand at the food comment, "I thought any conjuration to do with food was not aloud due to The Five Principal Exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, Professor?"

"Yes yes! Those are the ones! And excellent example!" Mildred agreed kindly.

"All fine examples, dear!" They seemed to know a lot about conjuring! That was good!


"Correct!" Mildred sung happily. "Aguamenti is indeed a conjuring spell!"


"As is Ferula," she carried on with a nod and ANOTHER bounce. She was feeling bouncy.

"AND Incendio, yes!" Conjuring fire wasn't what she had in mind for today though. Dangerous!

"Avis is the incantation for conjuring birds, yes, sweetie." Mildred said with another of her girlish giggles.

"It's not summoning, dear, so you don't have to know where the object is," Mildred answered the young girls question with a beam. "So it's more exciting than summoning! Because it does come out of thin air! FUN FUN FUUUN!!

"Medical spells, yes!" Mildred said in agreement, "because if there's an emergency you'll need to conjure up something in a hurry! Clever girl!"

"You're right!" Professor Pilliwickle beamed proudly at the mention of Gamp's Law. "Food is one of the objects that can't be conjured." But that was for another lesson. Perhaps? Hm.

Clearing her throat, Professor Pilliwickle gave her wand a twirl.... almost dropping it in the process. "As you've probably noticed, this room is a little DULL." Ugh, it was horrid! "So I want us to brighten it up by conjuring some BUTTERFLIES!" Because they were all fluttery and pretty and just WHEEEE!! "It's a fairly simple spell, but requires lots of concentration!" She had no doubts with this bunch! "So, in order to conjure something, you need to concentrate hard on what it is you're trying to make appear. Picture it in your minds. Don't be afraid to close your eyes if you're easily distracted!" She had to do that sometimes. "And when you're ready," she continued, "simply wave your wand and say the incantation! Papilio!"

"Can you all repeat that for me? Without wands for the moment? Papilio!"

Brant followed the Professors instructions "Papilio" He said after her.

Avery repeated the word quietly.

Reese quickly jotted down the spell name, what it did, and the wand movement on her sheet of parchment. "Papilio," she repeated after the Professor. It amazed her that she could correctly say that, but she had trouble saying 'conjuring'.

Conjuring butterflies? Random, but alright! Kellen cleared his voice and repeated the professor, matching her tone as closely as he could, "Papilio!"

And the next time he saw Chaucer, he was going to shoot him in the face with butterflies! This class just went right back to being amazing!

Papilio.

Papilio?

"Papilio." Celandine spoke carefully. "Like the genus?." That made sense. "Papilio!"

Allison gleamed. "This spell. My mum conjured a butterfly for me! It usually follows me around." Grinning she chuckled, "Wait til I show her my own!"

"Papilio!" Allison said with emotion. It was after all a spell that reminded her of her mother. Her crazy mother who had given her that butterfly to keep as a reminder of her. It was just amazing to little Ms. Scott to realize that her first lesson in transfiguration would be conjuring a butterfly! Or butterflies in this case.

Butterflies...to make the room prettier. Gah, a simple color changing spell would have been better. Or was that spell simple? Eh, she was good at it at least. "Papilio." she muttered, watching the professor closely. She called her sweetie. She hadn't been called sweetie since...well, did Josh call her that? Wow, she was forgetting tons in this class.

Turning to Destiny, she smirked, now wondering if her friend was thinking what she was thinking.
