So Marie wasn't so successful on her first attempt at conjuring a cucumber but she did get her name right which was something. She wasn't about to give up on this yet though. She would keep trying until she got it right.
Practicing a bit more she closed her eyes and pictured a cucumber... NOT a pumpkin while she thught the incantation 'Cucurbita Intaglio'. She also practiced the elongated loop with her wand. After doing this a few times she felt ready to try it for real.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and concentrated real hard on the cucumber.
"CUCURBITA INTAGLIO!" she said while moving her wand in an elongated loop.
Opening her eyes she seen a cucumber laying there... but who the heck is Maria?
CRUD!
First she gets her name right, now she gets the cucunber right. Maybe the next time she will get them both right.

Cucumber with Carter written on it... Cucumber with Carter written on it... Cucumber with Carter written on it..." Carter repeated over and over in his mind.
When he had the image of a cucumber clear in his mind he said "Cue-CUR-bit-a In-TAL-yo" and moved his wand in an oval shaped loop.
He picked up the object that was on his desk. It was a zucchini with "Cart" written across it.
That was not exactly the vegetable or name he was going for. But it did make him really want some zucchini bread.
He looked at his zucchini again. Hmm... conjured non-real food... tastes like the real thing... but isn't. He could make a fortune marketing it as a diet product.
Anyway... back to the lesson. Cucumber with Carter written on it.

Scooting the totally wrong cucumber to the upper part of her desk, Evelyn shook her head at it before deciding to try this again. Well, of course she was going to try it again. She didn't get it right! Darn cucumber!
However, hearing that one guy, Rae's Gryffindor, ask if they had to use their full name, Evelyn paused and looked up to the Professor. It would work with just their first name right? They didn't have to use their last name...right? Frowning, the Slytherin slowly moved her attention back to the top of her desk before shrugging it off. She just wanted to get this spell right with her first name anyways.
Nodding to herself, she sat up straight, and stopped tapping her foot in the water before trying the spell again. Cucumber...Evelyn... "Cucurbita Intaglio." she said a bit more louder than last time, with a slightly longer oval wand movement. What appeared on her desk though, surprised her. It was a cucumber alright, with her name in it...
...but it was yellow. Raising a brow, she poked it with her finger for a split second, making sure it was going to bite her finger off or anything before picking it up. Whyyy did it have to be yellow? She got everything else right. Would it matter to the Kappa if the cucumber wasn't green?
Unless, Kappas were color blind like some animals she knew were. Tracing her name that was carved into the cucumber, no matter how neat it looked, she decided that perhaps she should just...try again. It was supposed to be green!
The stench of cured meat in his nose, Patroclus went to try again.
A pepperoni sausage was not a cucumber, and his name was not Patrizio, so if Truebridge released the Kappa's now, Patroclus would be dead meat....get it!
The boy knew where he had went wrong, he had prounced the 'Intaglio' part wrong, but as he sat there, listening to the others around him practising, Patroclus knew how to say it now!
As his wand traced an enlongated oval in the air, Patroclus spoke clearly and concisely, "Cucurbita Intaglio"
The instaneous results were far more pleasing than before, there was a cucumber on his desk, however his name was wrong.
Atypical Ravenclaw Bookworm // Hair Flipper Pro / / the edgy starbuckian // Hot Messie
Cucumber.....Mina....Cucumber......Mina
Mina kept thinking it over and over in her head. Cucumber not zucchini and Mina not Mani. To be honest, both weren't all that far from what she wanted but it wouldn't help her if a Kappa was present. No, she had to conjure a cucumber with Mina on it.
Pulling her wand out again, she cleared her thoughts and extended it once again. Thinking of just what she wanted, she clearly and firmly cast "Cue-CUR-bit-a In-TAL-yo" as she moved her wand in the elongated shape.
A top her desk was now a cucumber!
Poking it with her wand, she eyed it with some suspicion. It looked like a cucumber, but was it what she had envisioned? Poking it again, she rolled it over slightly and nodded. Okay, it was just what she was looking for.
Giving it another look, she nodded and smiled. Yes, it had her name on it! Well, it said 'Mina' on it and that would just have to work for those icky Kappas!

I can do this. I can do this. Carter thought. He couldn't keep count of how many times he had eaten a cucumber... and spelled his name... so clearly, he should be able to envision both.
Thinking hard of his name and a cucumber he took a deep breath and tried again.
"Cucurbita Intaglio!" he exclaimed making an oval-ish loop-ish motion with his wand.
Oh yeah! Now sitting on his desk was a cucumber with "CARTER" carved on the side.
It was too bad that the cucumber wasn't real. If it was... he'd have to eat it. Because it was his. Because... you know... it had his name on it...
Hmm... maybe he should start labeling his food so no one else would eat it. It was thoughts like this the young Gryffindor had wander into his mind as he waited for the lesson to continue.

This time Marie was determined to get it right. She WAS going to get a cucumber with MARIE written on it... not Maria, whoever she was.
She closed her eyes once more and envisioned what she wanted. Cucumber with Marie written on it, cucumber with Marie written on it, cucumber with Marie written on it.
Keeping her eyes closed she continued to concentrate on that cucumber with her name on it. "Cue-CUR-bit-a In-TAL-yo" she said moving her wand in an elongated loop... again.
When she opened her eyes she seen a different cucumber laying there. Yes, she got that part right. Now to see what it says. She picked it up and slowly turned it over.
Not wanting to lose this cucumber she held it tight as she used 'Evanesco' to get rid of the pumpkin and the cucumber with the wrong name in it. She then sat back and waited for what would happen next.
Raiden flicked a glance around at the other students in the classroom. There were a lot of young kids. A lot. And some of them weren't doing the best at mastering this spell...
Hmmm. Flicking his wand out of his holster, he followed the wand movement around a few times. If NEWT students were meant to have little to no trouble with it... well then he should be okay too, right? Since... well he was pretty much just below NEWT level in most things.
"Cucurbita Intaglio... Cucurbita Intaglio..." he murmured, wand movements stalling as he mumbled the spell. Wasn't that hard to say, at least. With a decisive flick, he muttered it once more, and turned his wand in the almost oval shape.
It was a cucumber, definitely. And there was something carved in it. But somehow he'd only managed to get half of his first name... the cucumber boasted the word 'Rai', gouged out very deliberately. Absently, he vanished it, wondering if it would work just the same with a nickname.
Better to not risk it, though.
"Cucurbita Intaglio," he said again, forming the words carefully. This time, the cucumber that appeared had the rest of his name carved into it as well. With a flick, he vanished it, and repeated the spell a few more times, just to make sure that he'd gotten it right.
Now that she could do this spell non-verbally, Gold decided she might as well have a little fun. She had conjured a cucumber with her name inscribed, so she wanted to conjure one that read... you know. Fun versions of her name. Like Goldie or Goldilocks.
Definitely note 'Fire.'
Cucurbita Intaglio.
She picked up the cucumber and inspected it more closely. The name inscribed on the vegetable was 'Goldilocks.' Gold grinned, suddenly reminded of the Flying Final, when she had listened to the actual story behind the name, for the first time. Goldilocks and the Three Bears. To be honest, she had found it quiittte a silly, little story.
Patroclus had to check his temper, he was getting quite annoyed with his inabilty to conjure a simpled cucumber that was inscirbed with his name!
It all comes down to concentration, he berated himself, so try harder!
He went over the words in his head, his lips moving in time, but no sound escaping, Cue-Cur-Bit-A In-tal-yo Cue-Cur-Bit-A In-tal-yo Cue-Cur-Bit-A In-tal-yo Cue-Cur-Bit-A In-tal-yo. As the words circled in his head, the image of a cucumber clearly reading 'Patroclus' was all he visualized. He wanted, no needed to get this right, the Kappa's might attack at anymoment.
He was ready, firmly gripping his wand, Patroclus performed the movemnt, the long oval, and then in a fiercely determined voice, released the spell. "Cucurbita Intaglio"
POP!
On the desk before him was a perfectly formed, green cucumber, inscribed with Patroclus across its lenght.

Conjuring spells would include any fire spell you can think of; Incendio is your best bet, but we're also going to learn one which takes advantage of the cucumber weakness. Now, cucumbers are food so it is important to keep that in mind. Conjuring a cucumber or a vegetable with this spell group will conjure a semblance of that vegetable. It won't have any of the nutritional properties of a cucumber, and while, if you're good enough, it will taste like a cucumber, it isn't considered food as you can't survive off it and it won't nourish you." Truebridge explained, splashing a little bit.
"The spell is in two parts. Conjuring the cucumber and having it inscribed with your name. You need to focus on the cucumber, because the incantation will conjure all sorts of different gourds, cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini or squash. You can actually use this spell for conjuring carved jack-o-lanterns with enough practice. You also need to focus on the engraved aspect, in this case your name. These two things; what you are conjuring and what is inscribed are the part that often needs practice. Those of you who are NEWT students should have little to no difficulty with this spell, OWL level students, it might take a bit more work, but you'll get it fairly quickly. First through third years, it is a good focusing exercise and many of you may have trouble with it at first, but do try your best."
Listening?
"The incantation is cucurbitaintaglio. That is Cue-CUR-bit-a In-TAL-yo, and the wand movement is an elongated loop, almost an oval shape. Try it out now."
ooc: click the links for pronunciation if you're interested. You'll need your sound up.
Feel free to have your charrie accidentally conjure the wrong kind of vegetables (of the ones listed above) or misspell their names etc. Have fun and watch for the Kappa which will be brought in SOON.
Grayson had been simply listening as everyone discussed the Kappa, and all the stuff about how to get away from one who wanted to eat you. It was all interesting, but she figured the odds of her running into any Kappas outside this classroom were fairly slim. Unless she went into some sort of career that involved her traveling a lot, but none of the ideas she'd had so far seemed like they'd need that. And she had faith Professor Truebridge wouldn't let them get to seriously hurt in class, so beyond making some notes abotu the discussion, she just listened. But she got more interested once spells were being mentioned. She was familiar with Tergeo and Incendio, but new spells always got her attention.
She nodded, though, as Professor Truebridge went on to say they couldn't actually conjure a cucumber. That was common knowledge, as far as she thought. The exception thingy to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration. She'd read about that, at least. "So, it's kinda like a really convincing hologram or something of a cucumber?," she asked curiously. Even though he'd said technically the fake cucumber could be eaten, that was how she was going to think about it. But now they were told to practice the new spell, and she scrunched her face in concentration. Cucurbita intaglio, she thought, going over the pronunciation in her head and trying not to confuse it with cucumber. That was just what she needed, to accidentally say "cucumber intaglio." It would be interesting to see what, if anything, appeared with that, though.
Shaking her head to try and stop herself from going down that track of thought, she took a breath. Time to see if she could manage the spell. "Mmmmm," she mumbled to herself, as she tried to bring to mind a picture of a cucumber with her name on it. "Cuc . . ." she started, before having to stop herself as she almost said cucumber, then restarted her casting. "Cucurbita intaglio," she said sharply, using every fiber of her being to not say the spell wrong as she looped her wand in the stretched out oval shape they'd been shown. And then she blinked. How'd she end up with an eggplant? It wasn't anything like a cucumber. Sighing as she mentally complained to herself about how her brain always came up with some way to turn things purply, she poked the eggplant. At least it had her name on it, but unless she ended up facing a really strange Kappa, it wasn't going to help. Back to the drawing board.
Cucurbita intaglio . . . cucumber. With 'Grayson' written on it, she thought, trying to force her brain not to go off on its own again before she tried the spell over again. Repeating that to herself, she held her wand out again. "Cucurbita intaglio." Oval wand movement. Concentrate on a cucumber with her name on it. And then a grin appeared on her face as she looked down at her desk at the little green object. It looked like a cucumber to her. A little cucumber, but still a cucumber. Like a cucumber you could turn into a pickle, except she didn't want this one made into a pickle. Kappas didn't like pickles. But at least her baby cucumber, as she nudged it a little to examine it, had "Grayson" insribed on it. So hopefully it would work.

Oh sweet Merlin!
Destiny had thought her wand hated her, and now her thoughts were just confirmed by Evelyn. That was it. She was going to go home thins summer and DEMAND her parents buy her a new one. It was the only thing to do. Well, Evelyn had said she ate too much chocolate and that was the reason, but she was not giving that up. It would be easier, and safer for everyone, if she just bought a new wand.
Holding this Denise person's cucumber in her hand, she held it up to her nose and sniffed it. She didn't know what a cucumber smelled like, so she didn't know why she had just did that. At least she didn't start to eat it, jeeez.
Now..what was she supposed to do with the cucumber. She wasn't going to vanish it, since it wasn't hers, but she didn't know who Denise was to give it back. Placing it in the corner of her desk, so Denise's name was visible in case the girl walked by, she picked up her wand once more. A cucumber with Destiny engraved. A cucumber with Destiny engraved. HOW HARD COULD IT BE!?
Performing the elongated loop motion, she pronounced the spell, "Cucurbita intaglio!"
Once more a cucumber sat on her desk, and Destiny slowly picked it up, turning it around to find the engraving..
"Who is this Denise and why is she messing with my cucumbers!?"
This Denise, if ever found, was going to be cucumber clobbered, that's for sure.

Raising her wand, Evelyn took a DEEP BREATHE, before letting it out slowly. Yea, she was going to get it right this time. She got her name right and everything on the last one, it was just...yellow. Bleh. Sunny cucumber!
"Cucurbita intaglio!" she said, creating the long oval like shape in the air in front of her. Jeez, that was a hard spell to say. However, seeing a greeeeeen cucumber sitting in front of her, matching the first one she created, Evelyn smirked before setting her wand down on the table next to the yellow one. Please let her name be right. Evelyn. On the green cucumber. Pleeaaassse...
Seeing only part of the name, the Slytherin rolled the cucumber so the full name was showing aaand...she got it! OMG!
With her eyebrows raised in her surprise, the smirk on her face grew as she held it up. Yea, that's right! Third time the charm! MWAHA! Glancing at Destiny however, who for some reason, was still having trouble with the spell, the Slytherin leaned over to see what she was talking about. Another Denise name?
Thinking about it now, Evelyn sneakily took the one cucumber she had that had the 'Denise' name on it, and put it on her friend's desk. Hehe. She would never know....
Placing the squash on one side Dianna fixed herself and tried again.
Why was it so hard to do this? she thought.
Concentrate, Concentrate the cucumber. It's green and long and uh.. yeah.
D-I-A-N-N-A. Yes that's right.
Holding her wand tightly she closed her eyes.
"Cucurbita Intaglio!" she said. Opening her eyes she saw.. A CUCUMBER!!!
Running towards it she picked it up and checked. Yes it was a cucumber..but wait..why did it say 'Annie'?
"Well at least I got the cucumber right." she muttered as she got ready to try again.
Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes'
Placing the new Denise cucumber down on the table, Destiny laughed a little as it started to roll off and fall to the floor with a splash. She bent down to pick it up and when she came back up, there was ANOTHER one sitting on top. Where did that come from!? This person..she was asking for it now. Looking around the room once more, she glaaared at everyone she could see. This girl had the guts to mess with her vegetables, but not enough guts to show her face..
Punk.
Setting the now three cucumbers off on the corner of her desk, she once again moved her wand in the elongated loop. Seriously, maybe if the incantation was a little bit easier, she would be able to block Denise's shenanigans out. A cucumber with DESTINY on it. A cucumber with DESTINY on it! she repeated in her head, before saying the incantation, "Cucurbita intaglio!" She was afraid to look, so she quickly covered her eyes with her hand. If it didn't work she was going to walk out of class, go to the kitchens even though the house elves would probably attack her, grab a cucumber and engrave it herself.
That would have been the easiest thing to do.
She spread her fingers ever so slowly and looked down at her desk. Well, it was a cucumber..she just needed to see the name now. Removing her hand fully from her eyes, she picked up the cucumber and turned it over. HUZZAH! It was engraved with HER name! She raised the vegetable over her head and waved it around a little. "Take THAT Denise!"
If found, the girl was still getting cucumber clobbered..THREE times in a row.

Goldilocks. Gold wished she hadn't vanished that cucumber, now, because she wanted to have a look at it, again. Smiling lightly, she gave the spell another shot. It was a piece of cake at this stage, to be honest, but Gold had to admit that she was having fun.
Cucurbita intaglio.
The elongated wand movement, and viola. Gold turned the cucumber over, and grinned down at it. The name inscribed on it, this time round, was Pink!Gold. Pink Gold. Wait a second. Pink Gold. Pink Gold. Gold had just realized that Pink!Gold wouldn't work out. It didn't sound like Pink!Lori, or Pink!Brody. It sounded like Pink Gold. You know. Gold. The metal.
Gold is gold, in colour.
Not Pink.
POUUUTTT.
But she didn't vanish the cucumber. Instead, she placed it on her desk. She intended to research Pink Gold later, tonight. If something like that existed, or could exist. In the meanwhile, she might as well give the spell another, proper shot.
Daisy pulled out her wand, "Cucurbita intaglio. " What she actually had said was Cue-CUR-bitta-a In-TALY-yo and poof out came a zucchini it looked like a cucumber but it wasn't. And tghe name on it was Melinda. Her mother. But it could come in use for later on when she wanted to bake a cake so she placed it in her bag that held her tomatoes from Herebology.
She waved her wand again and said, "Cucurbita intaglio." And this time poof a pumpkin with her fathers name on it. In all honesty she was thinking pumpkin but her exact thoughts were, don't let this one be a pumpkin. She waved her wand and made it vanish. Nothing she needed a pumpkin for anyway. At least not until October.
She took a calming breathe and gave it a third try, "Cucurbita intaglio." Poof in fron't of her was a green cucumber and it even had her name elegantly written on the side. She placed her wand down and smiled. Third times a charm.

"So are sharks," she said pointedly, nodding her head. Sharks were actually bigger than herself. And she felt pretty confident that she would punch one if it ever came near enough.
Ellie listened to the directions. An oval, huh? Elongated oval... like a cucumber? That was an elongated oval. She quickly freed her wand from it's holstery trappings before the thought escaped her, and traced an oval in the air. Like a cucumber.
Now the incantation, THAT was the hard part. Cucurbita Intaglio. Cue-CUR-bit-a In-TAL-yo. She mouthed the words. Cue, like cucumber. Cur, like curry. Bit, like 'it bit me'. A, like...a. Ha. Why were spells soooo darn funny! Couldn't they ever be like NORMAL words? Like 'cucumber that says Ellie'. And POOF. There was a cucumber that said 'Ellie'. And would that even matter? Ellie versus Eliana? Because she wouldn't like the feeling of being reprimanded by a cucumber by it calling her 'Eliana'. Only her mom called her that. And only when she was in trouble. Which, yeah, happened a lot. But that's not the POINT.
So, the hand goes up, "Would nicknames suffice?" Ha. She said 'suffice'. That was a word that would make her sound smart. People never used the word 'suffice' in real life.
"If you are commonly called by a nickname then it is fine. If its a name you identify with it will have enough 'power' to work against the Kappa." Truebridge splashed a little more. "But if you generally go by your full name, then it is better to go with that."

Oval-like loop.
"Cucurbita Intaglio."
There it was. A cucumber inscribed with his name. Xylon tossed it into the air, caught it with one hand, vanished it and raised the same hand.
"Do we need the full name, sir?" He asked. "I mean, middle name as well?"
Idle curiosity? Nah. Real curiosity.
"Middle name isn't necessary, but it won't hurt if you can manage it." Truebridge answered. It was a good question and he nodded at Xylon approvingly.
"Alright, I'm going to send a message to have the Kappa brought in now. Nobody will have their livers eaten, or their blood drained, so please don't panic. However I want you all to be polite to the Kappa when it arrives, you can conjure cucumbers for it, try to trick it into bowing, or ask it more questions to find out more about what Kappa do and think." Truebridge instructed the class and then sent a patronus off to his helpers.

Lovely?
Well, sort of.
Gold conjured a cucumber, this time one with her name - Gold Laksh, no middle name, please - inscribed on it. Placing it next to the one or two other cucumbers on her desk, she waiiited.
This was going to be interesting. She already had a list of questions that she wanted to ask the Kappa!man. Or Kappa!woman. In fact... Gold raised a hand. "Is it a male Kappa, or a female one, sir?"

What? That = something they ought to know.
Really!
Truebridge nodded at Gold, "I'll give ten points to the person who can find that out in the most polite way." He suggested, challenging them. He knew of course, but it would be interesting to see how they'd approach it.

Trixie felt so special right now. Although that Kappa was extremely intimidating towards the 5th year. Still didn't stop her feeling special did it? And feeling special was a good thing...And now she was rambling and not concentrating on what she was doing with this giant cage filled with a ...well a Kappa.
The Blonde was levitating, along with Jake Upstead, the large cage into the room under Professor Truebridge's instruction, after being told before how to do the Cucumber conjuring thing, and instructed to be polite to the creature. How was she meant to be polite though? Can you make polite coversation with a Kappa? Err...What to say. Perhaps she should conjure a cucumber instead.
"Cucurbita intaglio" she pronounced clearly with an elongated loop with the wand and a smile on her face.
"Is there enough Cucumber there for your liking?" she asked politely as the cage was lowered. Meep she felt weird talking to this thing. "And are you err.....Comfortable?" she asked again.
"If you are commonly called by a nickname then it is fine. If its a name you identify with it will have enough 'power' to work against the Kappa." Truebridge splashed a little more. "But if you generally go by your full name, then it is better to go with that."

Truebridge instructed the class and then sent a patronus off to his helpers.
Alex listened to the Professor nodding to herself, she went by her nickname, Alex more often but Lex or Lexie was something only Zane called her.. She decided to focus on the Cucumber and then the nickname, picturing it clearly in her head before moving her wand in the way Professor Truebridge had told them to and intoned, "Cucurbita Intaglio." to her surprise and happiness a cucumber appeared on her desk with the name 'Alex' carved into it, she mentally danced she got it the second time, then again Transfiguration was one of her best subjects.. and she simply adored it. Alex picked up her quill dipped it into her normal plain black ink before writting notes on the spell in her notes she had about the Kappa. She really didn't want to leave this out, what if she somehow met a Kappa and needed to know it or it was on future exams? She was waiting to go over.. notes first werid monster child eating thing last..
As soon as they had the message, Jake and... that other girl... had started to levitate it in. The boy was focusing entirely on 'Wingardium Leviosa' and he'd even skipped his calming draught so he'd be more alert today.
Smart, huh?
As they started to lower the cage Jake watched the other girl interact with the Kappa. He... would give it a few minutes.
"Nnnnice... physique," he complimented. And then realised that could have been directed at anyone. "Errrr... Kappa."
Nice save.
Were compliments and politeness the same thing?
...
...
Eh.

Snickering at Destiny and her obvious dislike of the non-existent Denise person, Evelyn became quiet rather quickly when the Professor spoke again...
And two people came in with the...kappa.
Wow, they looked soooo different, and yet the same, then they did in pictures. Wait what? Was it a boy or girl? Ten points to the person who found out in the most politest way?...
Obviously it was going to be difficult then. Unless it wasn't and the Professor was just messing with their minds and wanted them to think it was going to be difficult. Or it was just her thinking that he was messing with their minds. Oh, now he was totally messing with her mind, thinking that he was messing with their minds when he really wasn't.
