...

Blue-gray orbs stared at Professor Pilliwickle, two perfectly maintained eyebrows raised in her direction and pink lips pressed together in a thin line. When Madiison had first met Professor Pilliwickle she had thought that the poor old lady had hearing issues, but by now Madiison was convinced that she was ... well ... mental. Because WHY, pray tell, would Di WANT to turn her perfect ears or her pretty nose into a strawberry?

Why?

No answer? She thought not.

Twisting her pretty!shiny!red hair around on finger, Madiison let her gaze wander around the room and she couldn't help but giggle at the girl with a peach for a nose. GIGGLE. GIGGLE. GIGGLE. And OHMERLIN! Professor Pilliwickle looked WEIRD with plum ears.

"OR!" Madiison chipped into Raiden and Daphne's conversation, "you could change your kneazle ears into mangos!" She thought it would be amusing.

...

'Or I'll have to do it for you!'

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH!

Instinctively, Madiison's hand clasped over her ears as though that would protect them from being abused by Professor Pilliwickle. Imagine how Di would look if she turned her ears into plums! Or apples!

Frowning, Di pulled out her wand and practised the wand movement. Just to prologue the moment.

Right.

Professor Pillowfluffle was CRAZY.

In a good way, of course.

Gold had to grin, at the thought of a cherry for a nose. How very... red. Like her hair. Even though her hair was a much brighter red and... wait a second! How would she breathe, if she had a cherry for a nose? Would it have to be through her mouth?

"Professor, we would still be able to hear if he transfigure our ears into a fruit or vegetable, no?" she asked, hand in air.

Hehe.

Destiny noticed the serious expression. In the little bit of time it shown on Evelyn's face, a million thoughts ran through her mind.

Oh Merlin.

Maybe her real ear fell off?
Maybe she was bleeding?
Maybe it wasn't an orange at all, but a PINEAPPLE!

Then she heard..laughter? What was so funny?

Grabbing at her ears, she felt not the same familiar shape she was used too but round, hard oranges! Oh Merlin! Letting out some loud laughter of her own, Destiny looked around the room. Carter still had his strawberry nose, Ivory had a peach nose and it even had leaves, and Professor Periwinkle still had her plum ears.

Bahahaha!

'Evelyn it's your turn!'

Yep. This class was crazy.

Oh, this wouldn't do! Not one little bit!

"Mister Kurujiggy. Miss Hopcorn," Professor Pilliwickle started, wagging a stern finger in their direction. "We are meant to be transfiguring ourselves, not discussing dignity. There IS no dignity in my classroom."

Said the elderly woman wearing plums for ears. SO THERE.

She hated to do this - well, kinda - but she HAD warned them, had she not? Oh yes, she had.

With a sneaky flick of her wand and a non-verbal spell to go with it, the young Gryffindor girl was sprouting a pair of turnips from her nostrils. SO PRETTY.

And the Slytherin prefect? Well, his new cruppy nose suited his ears perfectly.

HEHEEHEHEHEHE!

"Anybody else need my help?" HM!?
With a giggle, the Professor spun on her heal. Oh yes, THIS Prefect was a darling. "Yes, yes!" She sung happily, clearly in a better mood than previously. "It's just a little muffled that's all. Like someone's turned the volume down. "

BAHAHAHAHA! Her turn?! There was no way she was turning her ears or nose into fruits.

But what the Professor said, and her demonstration on the two people up closer to the front, made her stop laughing immediately.

The Professor...wouldn't dare...do that to her.

Hesitantly, Evelyn took out her wand and slumped even further into her seat, waving it around and mumbling random stuff sounding like 'Loony Professor' or 'Weirdo' if one listened close enough. Well, she wanted to look like she was doing something didn't she? Plus she was not in the mood to be changed into fruit or vegetables.

So, with her head practically level with her desk now, and her arms close to her sides, she waved her wand, continuing to mutter nonsense under her breathe. The Professor had plum ears so she wouldn't really hear what she was saying right? It pretty much just looked like she was failing at the spell if the professor happened to look her way.

Aww. AWW.

"Yes, ma'am," Gold said. She made sure her eyes did not pop out at what Professor Transfiguration decided to do to poor Daphne - turnips, eww! - and turned her attention back to the prospect of cherries. She actually wanted a couple to eat, now. That would be nice.

"Fructus Verto!"

Swish of her wand, and... ah yes, she had them! Two, big red cherries for what should have been her ears. Why, that was nice for a first try. Gold was glad of that. It made her feel warm and fuzzy.

"I did it, professor!"

Yep.

Daphne had ... turnips for a nose.

Which meant Di had a question. "Ummmm ... professor?" She asked in the sweetest and most innocent voice she could muster. It was almost like she was saying, 'Look at me. I am so adorable. You don't want to turn my nose into a turnip or a carrot, do you? PWEETTYPWEETTY SMILE' "What happens if one of those turnips ... broke free and fell?"

WOULD DAPHNE LOOSE ONE NOSTRIL?!

?!%$?!

If only Mother could see her now. Daphne could literally hear the shrieking inside her head. Feeling her cheeks heat up. Miss Hopton attempted to blow her nose. The turnips quivered, almost mockingly, in their sockets (nostrils) but did not give way. Breathing through her mouth, the blond considered saying something about DIGNITY and how the Professor had zero as someone in charge of educating the easily impressionable masses.

Instead, she closed her eyes, crossed her arms and held her breath.






Oxygen Strike.

It doesn't take a second for Sidney to decide what fruit she loved. Strawberries and whipped cream!!! She can eat them till they come out of her hears. Having said that Sidney had never considered having strawberries ears or a strawberry nose, but Professor Pillwickle wants a strawberry nose and a strawberry nose she shall have. Sidney points her wand at her nose. Already she's starting to get cold feet. She then doubles the chances for disaster by closing her eyes. Concentration seems to be her weakness when it comes to spellworks. Sidney imagines a huge strawberry with beautiful green leaves on top. When she sure the image is perfect, Sidney swishes her wand around the exterior of her nose and says "Fructus Verto!" Sidney place her wand back down by her side. Her nose feels fine nothing different about it. Darn I messed up again, and I consentrated so hard. Sidney wiggles her nose and looks down at her nose the best she can. She sees two green leaves and just a hint of red. "Professor Pillwickle, Professor Pillwickle, I did it! I did it!" Sidney proudly shows off her strawberry nose. She 's so proud.

No dignity, huh?

...

Oh sweet Merlin. Why was his nose suddenly so cold? Raiden hadn't seen the professor cast on him; his eyes had gone to Madiison has she said something else about turning his body parts into fruit. He reached up absently to rub it warmer...

...and realised that his nose was no longer his nose.

Oh lord no.

Both hands immediately clapped over the strange, wet thing that had replaced his nose. WHAT WAS THIS?! What had the professor DONE TO HIM?!

"D-Daph-"

There were turnips. Coming out. Of Daphne's nose. Raiden's teeth bit down HARD on his lip and averted his eyes, because it was not funny. Not at all.

Except it totally was.

It didn't take long for Professor Pilliwickle to notice the latest 'I'm not doing it' students. Had her latest demonstration not been enough? Did these girls want muddy vegetables matching Miss Hopborn's sprouting from their nostrils too!?

"Oh, as you can see.. they're awfully secure," Mildred said with a sickly sweet giggle, pointing at the quivering turnips in Miss Hoptorn's nostrils. "Even a sneeze wouldn't get those to budge."

HEHEHE!

"So, let me see you two practice." Yes, she would stand and watch. And if they didn't do as she said....

It would NOT be pretty.


Oh, poor poor girl.

One would think having dirty turnips shoved up her nostrils would teach her a lesson. But nope, apparently Mildred had a stubborn one on her hands.

... maybe she wanted a blow hole to match?

It would bring them neatly onto the next part of the lesson. Hmm.

CherREH!

Gold chuckled, then swung one of her ears with a finger. It swung easily, and she had to allow herself a grin. "You two," she told her ears. "Need names." Cherrygold I and Cherrygold II.

Teehee.

TEEHHHEE!

Err ... why was she so excited?

Maybe it was just that the drama was getting to her. Strange happenings all over the school. And this class, it let her relax, forget all of that for a moment. Most of the time, anyway.

She did not fancy an any-fruit or any-vegetable-nose, but playing with her ears was definitely fun. Even if she could not hear properly. Sooo .... Gold un-transfigured her ears, then gave another swish of her wand. She was going to transfigure them again. Hey, it was fun!

"Fructus Verto!"

... and now she had strawberries for ears. Strawberries? That was actually a rather yummy prospect. Bwaha.

Even though he hadn't laugh, Daphne could sense what Raiden was thinking. It came from knowing someone from years. Still refusing to open her eyes, Daphne simply quirked one brow; again. It was becoming the norm in this classroom.

"Don't speak my name so casually," she mumbled, careful not to intake air with her arms crossed still. "While you're sitting there letting me be assaulted with turnips."


Daphne did look, though, when Professor PickleFailure seemed to find her nostril obstructions particularly charming. She attempted to flare her nostrils and all it resulted was in the earthy scent of turnips to go straight up into her head. With watery eyes, Daphne titled her head back and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Even if her brain burned, even if her eyes popped out of their sockets, Daphne did not breathe or move. Although, she didn't really fancy dying with turnips up her nostrils.

What would be written on her thombstone?: Here lies Daphne Hopton; She was pretty; She was fair; She was part vegetable.


?!$%!!!

Lina watched the others as she considered. And if she didn't do it, she would be the next on the list. No no no no no... What could she do?! And her poor Raiden... He just wasn't getting a break. Her little kitty ears flicked, and she was reminded: neither was she, but at least all of that was HER fault, not others'. Well, but then, he was the one who wouldn't... Maybe he should have tried to transfigure his tail?

Closing her eyes she pointed her wand at her hand. "Fructus Verto!" Her fingers were strawberries. Oh my. She could almost swear they were the color of her hair. She turned and wiggled them at Raiden, hoping to make him feel a little better. "Lookit! I'm berried!"

They had to do what....there was no way Marie was going to turn her ears or nose into an apple. Nope, not gonna do it.

But Professor Pillipickle wasn't going to let them get away without transfiguring something. Okay, new fruit then. Now her favorite fruit was.......Grapes, the green ones. Yes, she could handle having grapes for ears better than she could apples.

Oh but before she did this she just had one question.

"Professor, we will be transforming back to normal before we leave the room right?"

RIGHT!?

She wasn't going to walk around the school with fruit growing out of her head. That would not be cool.

Practice?

Turn her own nose into a fruit?

Gulping, Madiison pointed her wand at her nose and thought of strawberries. Straaaawberries, YUMMMMMMEH. But then the girl changed her mind. Not her nose. Her ears. She could hide them with her hair at least.

Wand pointing at her ears, Di gulped again and tried to imagine strawberries. As delicious as those things were, the girl could not bring herself to do it. Still she TRIED.

"I want BUNNY ears." She stated, wand still doing nothing other than pointing at her ears. Because bunnies were cute. She did not want strawberry ears. SOB. SOB SOB.

STILL.

Professor Pilliwickle was scary. And she would rather have strawberry ears than turnips for a nose. So the girl pointed at her ears and, after a sigh, said, "Fructus Verto!"

DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN

...

Her ears were only PART strawberry.

...

Di couldn't quite decide if that was a good or bad thing.

"At least your nose is still human," Raiden mumbled, eyes crossing as he looked at his hands. What exactly was under them right now? It was damp and coooooooold. His hand pressed tighter over it, to try and discern the shape.

...wait.

"Is... a..." A dog nose. Merlin, Morgana, and Mordred. He had a DOG'S NOSE. That hadn't even happened to him during the partial transformation earlier this term! His nose had stayed mostly HUMAN.

She'd... she would FIX THIS right? Raiden glanced at Lina, and her strawberry fingers, and attempted a smile. His mouth totally was not into the effort, however.

He was going to have to... turn his ears into fruit, wasn't he.

Left hand still firmly pressed over his nose (it was starting to get warmer now, which... was good), the right slipped away and directed his wand at his kitty ear.

Hopefully this didn't turn out dreadful.

"I really really hate this..." Guh. Just DO IT. "Fructus Verto."

...well. Going from the sensitive hearing of a cat to... apples...

He might as well have gone deaf.

Lina's ears twitched at Raiden. Apples on his head! Geez Lina, what are you? Two? She giggled softly. "They look like they should be falling off. I think I like your kneazle ears better."

Everyone was sooo... FRUITEH!

Candy decided she didn't want to be fruity. Well she wanted'ed'ed to be but...... everyone was that! So she picked a vegetable - in her mind obviously - and concentrated on it.

It was....

A BIGGGG potato!!

"Vegetabalas Verto!"

Swish, swish SWIIIIIIIIIIIIISHHHHH went her wand andddddddddddddddd....... nothing happened. Nothing at all. Candy POUTEDDD and gave another swish of her wand. To no avail.

BAD spelll!!!

Huh?

Gold glanced up, spotted Prefect Kururugi, and had to blink. Those apples did NOT suit him. It actually looked like he had picked up two random apples, and placed them right on top of his head.

But at least these wouldn't fall. Though she had to say, she still preferred the adorable, kitty!ears.

Hehe.

Aww. AWW.

"Vegetabilis Verto, Shiny," Gold corrected kindly, as she drummed her fingers along her desk. Shiny was so cute.

MOST of the times, that is.

Gold was TALKING to her.

Candy BEAMED at the prefect and nodded HAPPILY. At least she knew her mistake now so she could try and correct it. She said the incantation out loud a few times and then gave the spell another try.

YAY!!

"Vegetabilis Verto!"

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDD........ she now sported a pair of awesome POTATOES for ears. Ooooh! Candy touched them and CHUCKLED. Then she BEAMED at her wand and thought of lady-fingers and converted her ears to THOSEE.

OOOH!!

...uh oh.

He really couldn't hear anything.

At all.

Swallowing hard, Raiden stared at Lina for a moment. Her mouth was moving. She was DEFINITELY talking. And yet, there was absolutely no sound.

This was not good.

"Can't hear," he said in a teeny tiny voice. He was afraid to do anything more than whisper, and draw attention to himself. Oh Merlin what was he going to do.

Lina blinked for a moment. Her ears, of course, picking up on his whisper immediately. "Oh no..." She frowned a little, thinking. After a moment, she pointed to him, gave her wand a wave, then pointed to the apples sprouting from his head.

Tiberius was feeling awful, that was for sure. And thinking of pineapple didn't help much either.

Pouting, he opened his eyes to watch Professor Pilliwickle demonstrate the spell and, quite unable to stop himself, burst out laughing as her ears became plums. Awe-struck, he looked around the room as ears and noses became fruits and vegetables of all kinds. Giggling like a small child (which, was, frankly, a nice change of pace!) Tiberius closed his eyes again and reimagined his pineapple.

"Fructus Verto!" Flourishing his wand, Tiberius felt his face stretch a little and his nose get... well, heavy. Opening his eyes, he set his wand in his lap and reached up. He had a pineapple nose!!

"Anyone have a mirror?!" He giggled, still looking around the room.

Sigh. Jack was NOT in the mood to transform himself into a walking fruit tree. Still, what if this came up on his NEWTs and he didn't know it?! He'd never forgive himself.

What was his favorite fruit or vegetable? Hmm, it was SO hard to pick just one! Maybe pineapples? No, that would make his head look HUGE. Maybe kiwis? MMMMMMM Kiwi. Nah, he settled on lemons...he just LOVED lemonade.

He closed his eyes and pictured two pretty lemons, and then raised his wand. "Fructus Verto!" he said, waving his wand about. He felt a weird stinging on his ears and...EEE! He had lemons for ears! Hehe. WEIRD.

And...what a WEIRD sensation it was.

They were itchy. Noooo, actually...they were kind of stinging.

OHMIGOSH he had forgotten about how tangy lemons were! DUH FRITZERA. Didn't citric acid ring a bell!? He reached up and scratched his stingy itchy ears and found that, to his relief, that helped out tremendously.
