Transfiguration Practice Room Professor Kingsley has set up this room as a safe place to practice spells from this term and previous terms. The everyday items needed to practice inanimate transfigurations are set on tables along the edge of the room. There is evidence that at some point, creatures inhabited a pen, but it is currently empty. A glowing blue circle is off in the far corner of the room, a few scorch marks contained within it, but not outside. A special boundary has been drawn to contain miscast fire. Near the door, the following rules are posted: 1. Fire spells may only be cast within the blue circle. Under no circumstances should you attempt to burn anything in this room outside that boundary. 2. You may practice with live creatures. However, you must ask Professor Kingsley's premission and he will acquire the creature for you. 3. Don't be afraid to ask questions! That's why this room is open with Professor Kingsley supervising. ooc: You can come and go as you please and practice. If you need Professor Kingsley's attention, mention it in your heading. Even if you don't ask for him, he is around. |
Professor Kingsley is needed :D Alice walked in to the practice room, excited to continue working on the incendio charm. She walked over to the designated blue circle that people using the fire charm were supposed to stand. "Focalia," Alice said after imaging the same pile of wood she had produced at the lesson. She was pleased to find she could still do the spell considering she had only tried it once in class. She usually felt like she had beginner's luck more often than skill...perhaps with magic it would be different. "Professor Kingsley? I was wondering if you could show me the vanishing spell? I never got a chance to ask you before class was dismissed the other day, and you mentioned you could show me?" |
Jenny smiled as she walked into the practice room. Since she and Kurumi were never able to make smores in the stands during the third task, it seemed like the practice room was the only place to do so. And they can continue practicing at the same time...talk about killing two birds with one stone. She quickly walked to the blue circle, took out her wand, and pointed it inside the blue circle. "Focalia!" A few pieces of dark brown wooden planks appeared; hopefully that was good enough. Maybe she should wait for Kurumi before making the fire... Quote:

Quote:
He then saw two more students there including the Professor. After a while, he heard a student asked about the vanishing spell. He then walked up to her. "Professor, if you may." he said looking at the Professor. "Vanishing Spells are not taught until the Fifth year, but I will show you how it is done." Jaxon then took his wand from his pocket and pointed it to the pile of wood the girl has produced. He flicked his wand and muttered, Evanesco and the pile of wood vanished. |

Jenny turned to the pile of wood again. "Incendio!" Jenny made her voice as confident as she could. A small pout of fire came out of her wand into the wood. Hm. She had done much better before. |

a couple of misfits we are! Quote:
"Protego!Protego!" Kurumi squeeked. Thank Merlin she still had her wand in her hands. The log bounced off her shield and went in the opposite direction and crashed into the wall. Kurumi looked at it as is rolled towards them and stopped a few feet away. "Bad wood!" she scolded it before using a hovering charm to bring it back to their fire. "Now to just set it down..." A loud POP from the fire distracted her and she ended up dropping the log smack dab in the middle of the flame. EEEK! Had she just killed the fire?! |
Quote:
Jenny looked towards the place where Kurumi accidentally dropped the wood. "Um...the fire died a bit, but no problem. Just do incendio again." Jenny pointed her wand. But a tiny doubt grew in her mind. What if the wood exploded next? |
Quote:
Wahoo! No pillar of fire again! -grumbe grumble- Kurumi was getting a bit hungry. She went to her bag of smore supplies and grabbed one of the sticks and stabbed a marshmallow with it. She then pointed her wand at it and said "Incendio." She was going to toast a marshmallow even if there was no fire! A steady flow of fire came sprouting out of her wand and began toasting her marshmallow. |
Quote:
Shrugging to herself, Jenny picked a fluffy marshmallow from the bag and attached it to a stick that Kurumi brought. Then she held it over the newly lit fire. "It smells good." Jenny looked over. "Do you think the Professor would mind if we eat in the practice room?" she asked Kurumi. |
for the record, all sticks and fire involved were inside blue cicle Quote:
Kurumi hadn't thought about the whole food thing. Her and Jenny had been so excited about marshmallows that she hadn't even thought about it maybe being a problem. She looked over at the watchful professor and then back at Jenny. "He did mention no food in class," she said. But this wasn't a class...it was a practice room. There wasn't anything that explicitly said NO FOOD. She looked down at their fire and Jenny's toasting marshmallow and then back at her perfectly golden brown one. "Probably should have checked before we started roasting..." Kurumi slowly made her way over to the PROFESSOR. "Um...excuse me...professor..."Kurumi said nervously holding her marshmallow skewer. "What is the policy on food in the training room...?" |

"Thank you so much!" Alice said with a smile at the boy. "My name is Alice by the way. What's yours?" |

Quote:
Jenny, feeling quite hot now, put her blanket down on the floor (carefully away from the fire), but just when she pulled out her wand, she stopped. Uh oh...what was the reversal spell again? Evanesco or something like that? |
Mwahahaha. He could NOT believe this was going to be allowed. And in a safe environment. Because it would be weird to notice a boy starting a fire outside a classroom, no? Treyen ran towards the practice room and stopped at the door. Once entering, he did so rather slowly, taking his time, as if time was something that didn't go by as fast as it seemed to be going. It was March already, for crying out loud! The boy set his things aside and he walked over the that blue circle. Haha. The best one, for sure. His wand was already out, and now his eyes were closed so he could make this happen. "Focalia" he said, making the wand movement all the while. And then his eyes opened to find two logs who were inside the blue circle. Aha! Now...the fun part, "Incendio" he said, at the dry wood, and his eyes simply marveled at the sight of fire. The pretty flames. They were so pretty. So, he took a seat, and watched the fire burned the wood. Amazing. Nature and magic were amazing. |
Rex aims his wand at a piece of wood next to him. Rex waves his wand, makes an X movement in the air saying " Focalia". Presto, firewood. Rex points his wand at the firewood. Rex calls out " Incendio" and now there is fire. Rex used a extinguishing spell to put out the fire. |
Quote:
|
Vienna stood their and waved her wand in an x formation in the air Firewood appeared in front of her. Trying once again to use incendio to light the firewood she almost threw her wand down in frustration when she once again failed |
Louisa had a really good morning and now it was time to practice the spells she learnt in transfiguration (not that she had a choice). The little girl stepped into the room to find a few students already practicing there. Cool. There would be people to help her if another huge blanket covered her... again. With her wand in one hand and her scarf in another, Louisa went to an empty corner and threw her bag on the ground to use it as a sitting-pillow. She, then, put her scarf in front of her and "Vestis cotone." She casted at the blue scarf which turned into a cotton blanket –well sized- instantly. |

"So, if you need help you can ask me for help too." he added with a smile. |
Quote:
Her name was so simple that sometimes it was difficult for her to not find other people's names overwhelming...especially when people went by their middle names or nicknames for their middle names...whew! "Perhaps I ought to give it a go, huh?" Alice said upon his offering more help for her. Alice cleared her throat before saying, "Focalia," making an x with her wand. The wood appeared in a pile before them. Now to make it disappear. Trying to imitate Jaxon...or St. James...Alice pointed her wand at the pile and said, "Evanesco!" At first she had thought it had worked, but she couldn't help but laugh as all but one half of one of the pieces had vanished. "Well, that didn't completely work, did it?" |
Quote:

Jenny finished her marshmallow as more people began to fill the room now. Yeah, she should practicing her own spells now. Only problem is...how DID she turn her blanket back to a scarf last time? "Um...Kurumi? What's the reversal spell again?" Jenny also wondered if the two of them should offer marshmallows to the other people in the room too. |
Quote:
Right, Jenny had asked for some help. She took out her wand again and pointed it at Jenny's blanket. "Reverto!" she said with a smile as the blanket turned back into a scarf. Oh, Jenny probably wanted to do that on her own blanket. Feeling a little ashamed that she had jumped the gun a bit, she ran over and grabbed her blanket. "Here, you can try on mine. Just a simple swish and flick and a clear Reverto should do it" |

Lara was planning to practice some spells she had taken in transfiguration. So she went to the training room she though that it would be the best place to practice . Although she wanted some company with her, because practicing ALONE! That was a punishment to her . Sadly she couldn’t find anyone, so she had to go alone, As she entered the room she noticed some students already practicing so she looked around to find a nice spot for herself. However she glanced a familiar face it was that girl from Ravenclaw house Louisa and Wow she was practicing and she seemed to be vry good. Louisa has just turned the scarf into a blanket, Lara thought that it would be great if Louisa cold help her. A that moment Lara steped forwards Louisa and said “Hello there!” she grinned “How’re you Louisa! I see you’re practicing.” |
Quote:
Blink. Blink. Do they know each other? :erm: Apparently they did. The girl's face was familiar but the memory won't come from the back of her mind just now. "Hey there!" She smiled quickly before adding, "Er.. we are in the practicing room, aren't we?" Hello? We're supposed to practice spells, right? Like that's why it's called training room. Never mind that now, she needed to remember the girl's name! She was the one who helped her in their first flying lesson. Yes! Definitely it was her. The firstie stood up and faced the forgotten girl, you know, maybe a face-to-face conversation would wake-up her memory. "Are you going to practice the warming up spells or the fire one?" Because Louisa wouldn't take risks at launching fire outside the blue circle. |
Quote:
Lara looked at the surprised girl she couldn’t understand why was she surprised! Yes they were at the Training room if that was the question! Although Louisa didn't seem to remember Lara very much which was very annoying to her! but she ignored it, 'cos she wanted some company. “Yes I’m going to practice , we’re in the practicing room, aren’t we!?” Huh! Lara smirked . Then she put her bag on the ground, opened it and got her scarf out, she also got her wand out of her pocket . She stood up cleared her throat , but what was the spell Lara thought to herself ? she thought of asking Louisa but she should know it herself she can’t ask the girl for the first spell, can she?! Lara got out her notebook looked at the spells and closed it, as she aimed her wand on the scarf she said “Vestis cotone” and YAY it turned to a blanket, Lara was so excited about it she grinned at Louisa and said “You know my mother used to do this spell so I already know it, anyway what spell should we practice next?” she asked |
SPOILER!!: Lara!! Whaaaaa..? 0_0 That girl's mother used charmed blankets in the house!? W.O.W That must be great! Louisa's mom would freak out if her daughter mentioned charmed blankets in the house. "You knew that spell before?" The little girl tried to hide the overwhelming thought and kept it 'cool'. What was her name again? She should remember really soon or just try to avoid saying it! Yessss! What a Ravenclawish brilliant thinking ^__^ "So.. erm.. I think that those spells about turning this scarf into warming-up materials are just too easy." Lie lie and show off girl! "How about we go over there.." She pointed at the glowing blue circle nearby, ".. and practice conjuring firewood and fire?" Because Louisa wasn't going to let this girl brag about her preknowledge of such easy spells, OK? |
Quote:
"yeh sure let's move there.." Lara said as she grabbed her bag andblanket and walked toward the spot where Louisa had pointed at. Finally Lara remembered the spell it was "Incendio! " Lara said loudly forgetting that Loisa was here . "erm...Incendio is the spell right !" Lara said trying to excuse her sudden loud voice. "But I guess we should conjure the wood first! correct?" Lara said |
Quote:
Was it Sarah? Laura? Mia? Dah! Why bother? The last info about her dad made her forget all about life and friends. She nodded her head auto as Sarah, Laura, or Mia- whatever told the spell. "Yeah. That spell's for fire. You need to conjure firewook first with 'Focalia'." She glanced towards the girl with raised eyebrows. "Don't you guys use that spell to cook your food or something?" What? Magical people are weird like that. :whistle: The 11-year-old grabbed her wand tightly and imagined a nice, dry and well-sized pile of firewood "Focalia." Tadaaaaaaa! The imagined pile was right there in front of her. She turned to the girl with a big smile. "See? It's easy!" Yea it was just like that... no practicing during the lesson you know... nor a help from other students or the teacher; Louisa was just a genius! "Incendio!" Uh Oh. A tiiiiny little flame was lit but quickly faded out and left the little girl's dignity defeated. Grrr.. what's wrong with the fire thing? She shook the wand violently as if it was a lighter or something and tried again "Incendio!!" More force always made the trick! Yaaaaay a decent fire was lit and started to grow even bigger via the firewood. |
Quote:
"Sorry!" Jenny squeaked. Of course, magic can fix everything right away, but who knows? Maybe this time it could have been an irreversible spell. |
Quote:
Kurumi placed the scarf on the ground and pointed her wand at it. Shoot...what was the spell again? Kurumi thought about white fluffy bunnies, that would make for a nice blanket, yes? "Manus vellus!" she said. The moment she said it though, she knew it didn't sound right. There was a loud BOOM and purple smoke began billowing from where her scarf had been. When the smoke finally cleared, Kurumi knelt down and picked up...a pair of mittens that had the face of a rabbit on them. Oops...at least there were no loose threads though. |
Quote:
"Re--" Jenny paused. Was it reverso or reverto? Reverso makes more sense...well, there's the word reversal, so maybe...nah. Jenny reminded herself not to think too much. "Reverto!" Jenny looked down. It was back to a scarf...with sockets for fingers now. Maybe it was reverso after all. |
Quote:
Kurumi held up her scarf so that her eyes were looking through the little finger holes. "I see you," she laughed. Clearly, this thing was just not going to turn back into a normal scarf. Hmmm....what to do...Maybe trying another Reverto would work? Kurumi decided to give it a shot and thought about what her scarf had looked like before the holy incident. "Reverto!" and the holes were gone! Hurray! Yet...something still seemed off. Kurumi picked up the scarf to find that, yep, it was small. "Well...maybe Walnut could use it?" she said trying not to laugh at her mini scarf. |
lol i was wrong the entire time... Quote:
"Reverto!" Jenny yelled confidently. Quickly, Kurumi's mini scarf turned back into a perfect-sized scarf in good condition. Whew. Then Jenny noticed that the air was a bit cooler around the two of them; only a tiny flame burned in what used to be a huge fire. "Oh no." |
Quote:
Kurumi threw the scarf up in the air and made a mad dash towards their little flame. How were they going to roast marshmallows with this?! She pointed her wand and said the first thing that came to her mind - completely forgetting what they had just learned in class. "Engorgio! Engorgio!" she said waving her wand. Instead of the fire growing stronger...the wood began to grow and was now 5 times what it had been before with the tiny flame still dancing on top of it. At least it hadn't gone out...right? |
Quote:
Jenny quickly pointed her wand at the tiny flame. "Aguamenti!" There's no telling what could have happened to that flame if she summoned more wood. Then Jenny quickly brushed the now partially damp wood aside and pointed her wand at the newly made clearing. "Focalia!" Sturdy, dark brown wooden planks appeared. Okay, so far so good. |
Quote:
Kurumi took out her wand and waved it at the giant log and ash they had created. "Evanesco!" Now their blue circle was clean. Jenny summoned some new wood, and it looked like their best summoned wood yet. Okay, so now to light the fire again...and roast some marshmallows. "On the count of three?" she asked pointing her wand at the wood. |
Quote:
"Jaxon is fine." he said with a smile. He crossed his arms infront of his chest and said, "Okay" he said looking at the girl who will try to attempt to do the Vanishing Spell. He nodded as she did the stance and the incantation, but she made a small flick that made the wand movement incorrect. "Well, it takes time to practice and I bet that you will get that in time." he said. He then moved aside and said Focalia conjuring up a pile of wood. Jaxon then made a wand movement and in a matter of seconds, the pile of wood turned into a comfortable looking couch. He smiled at himself and nodded. This will do he thought. He then sighed and sat comfortably on the couch. |
Quote:
"One..." Jenny squinted her eyes. "Two..." Her hand was shaking heavily; why did she become so focused all of a sudden. "Three...Incendio!" She opened her eyes a little. Did it work? |
Quote:
She cast evanesco again, vanishing the last bit that was left of her first pile. She was about to conjure another pile again when she watched Jaxon transform the pile of wood into a couch. "That's incredible!" Alice said, watching him sit down on it. Magic really was amazing! She reached over and touched one of the arm rests, not believing that that pile of wood could actually become a couch. Just...wow. "Mind if I join you?" Alice asked. She figured it was a little chilly in here so she pointed her wand at the newly formed pile of wood and said, "Incendio!" Alice smiled as the wood caught fire, creating a nice amount of warmth in their little practicing circle. She didn't want to just sit down, so she waited to see whether or not Jaxon minded. It really was nice of him to be helping her like this. |
Still practicing... Quote:
Lara watched Louisa as she started the fire “Good job!” she said smiling “And I really don’t know if it’s used for cooking ‘cos I’ve never watched our house elf cooking” Lara explained simply “But I remember my uncle used it when we were at the Quidditch world cup few years ago!” she said as she grabbed her wand , closed her eyes , then she opened them and waved her wand with an X saying “Focalia!”. And pile of firewood was laying on the ground . She smirked at her friend “ Now it’s fire time!” . Lara just loves this spell. She eyed the firewood waved her wand saying “Incendio!” and there was fire right away. She laughed loudly “You know my father always tells me; Lara my daughter you’re the best fire-starter I’ve ever seen” Lara said proudly. as she looked at Louisa , she felt that this was so rude to show off like that “Erm… it’s an easy spell you know” Lara said as she got out her textbook to see what spell should they practice next. “Mmm… How about we turn the blanket back to a scarf and then we’ll turn it to something else?!” Lara suggested as she turned to the blanket and “Revera!” she said , but nothing happened! Lara freezed at that position as her mind was thinking fast; why nothing had happened. She lowered her wand “Looks like I did something wrong” she said in a law voice as she took her textbook again and checked the spell “Oh looks like I mixed it up with another spell” Lara lied ‘cos it was just her bad hand-writing “Anyway …” she cleared her throat again grabbed her wand and eyed the blanket as if she was warning it that she may burn it if it doesn’t turn into a scarf again. “Reverto!” she said Loudly and finally it was a scarf again, Lara smiled widely as she looked at Louisa “okay..your turn!” |

Amy skipped into the practice room happily, she was gonna practice all those new spells she learned. she stepped into the blue ring for practicing fire spells. she took out her wand "Focalia!" a nice little pile of firewood appeared at her feet. Yay! okay now to start it "incendio!" a tiny spark flew out of her wand and landed on the wood, but it fizzled out a few seconds later. She tried once more "incendio!" this time a tiny fire started on the wood woohoo! "yay I did it!" she smiled as she saw the tiny flame flickering *poof* it went out with a tiny puff of smoke, oh well better keep on practicing |
Quote:
Taking a seat closest to her she pulled out her wand and scarf and placed them onto the table. Dropping her bag to the floor to loud and it made 'SLAM' "Sorry" she said to the other students that were in the room. "Great, Im so clumsy." she said to herself. Taking her seat she pulled out her notes from class and looked over the spells. SPOILER!!: notes on homework 'Vestis Vellus' the blanket spell she had managed to make a good sized blanket in class. Placing her scarf on the table as so it wouldnt be in the way when the blanket appeared. Holding her wand, concetrating on the blankets appearance and making the movement "Vestis Vellus" the blanket formed into a blanket but it wasnt like she had invisioned. "Reverto", "Vestis Vellus'' again the scarf turned into a blanket and this time it was like she wanted it to. "REVERTO" She grabbed her things and left the room |
really long post :| Cass entered the practice room and saw that a few students were there as well. She would be surprised if no one was there actually, not everyone was practiced in using Incendio. She headed for the area of the room which was the most heavily populated. The blue circle. When she got there, she sat down at the edge of the said circle and brought her wand out from inside its holster, then her crumpled piece of parchment followed as well and she was ready to go. She pointed her wand at the area on the floor directly in front of her and said the next spell on her list. "Focalia."as she did the "X" wand movement. Then right before her eyes a pile of firewood appeared before her. "Oh, it makes firewood." She said. When she had a wonderful pile of firewood just waiting for the fire, she crossed out the spell on her list and proceeded to try out the only spell on the list that she was familiar with. Quote:
Quote:
She stood up, tucked her wand back into its holster, and left the practice room with a satisfied smile. Time to work on her other homework. |
Quote:
Okay one spell down four to go "Auguamenti" a jet of water came from her wand and doused the fire she had made. she stepped out of the blue circle and set her stuff down near the wall she picked up the scarf she had brought to practice with and set it on the ground. Amy raised her wand and pointed it at the scarf "Vestis vellus!" the scarf had turned into a small scrap of cloth "Reverto!" now her scarf was back to normal. Okay let's try this again "Vestis Vellus!" finally it had turned into a blanket neatly folded on the ground. perfect! she crossed of that spell on her list. Quote:

yo, Professor Kingsley?????? It was after the third task, a little bit after the third task, or... well quite a bit after the third task.... and here was Fletcher, reporting to the transfiguration practice room as he had been told. Hopefully Kingsley wouldn't keep him here too long. He had a lot of uh...... studying to do, since it was the end of the term and all. The boy stepped into the room, unsure of what to do or where to go, and kind of just shuffled toward one of the walls, fidgeting with his wand as he walked. Was Kingsley even here? If not, he would just go practice Incendio some more and have a good time practicing. Heheh. |
Evelyn was not proud of being here. No. Quite the opposite. In fact, she was trying so hard to slip into the room unnoticed that she even believed herself to be invisible at the moment. Or at least trying to think she was. It's not like she needed help with her spells or anything! Pfft. Well, not that much anyhow. Transfiguration wasn't a strong point of hers. But it was the fact that...she was willingly walking in here that was troubling her. And, walking towards that glowing blue circle was the longest five seconds of her life. Being tutored was one thing, but needing supervision with a spell was another. Completely different! Finally putting her arms down from trying to block her face from view, the Slytherin stared at the blue circle like thing around her. This was humiliating. It was a like a play pen for younger kids! Might as well try and master this spell as quickly as possible then. Dropping her bag to the floor, she hurriedly took out her notebook and flipped to the page with the spell on it. Right. "Focalia." With the 'X' shaped wand movement, she wasn't at all surprised to see the one or two twigs dropped to the ground. It happened the last time. It was just...the fire part that she really needed help with. Once the fire started, she just had the urge to make it GROW... "Incendio." ...*staarreee* O__O!!! FIRE! LOOKIT! |
Quote:
Right! Moving up next to Evelyn, Destiny drew her wand, making sure to keep an eye on her friend. Fire + Evelyn = Bad idea Professor Well, her fire wasn't that big..yet, so Destiny could practice her spells without worry, right? Merlin, she hoped so. Directing her wand in the 'X' shaped movement, she gave a quick peek towards Evelyn. Still a smallish fire. "Focalia." she said, and looking down she FROWNED. Were they..wood shavings!? What was she supposed to do with them? Pffft! Kicking them with her feet, she once again directed her wand in the 'X' movement. "Focalia." she said once more, and when she looked down.. ..Voilà! She had a board. A board much like the one she had in class; holey and thin. And she probably couldn't karate chop that one either..eh. She could light it on fire, though! "Incendio!" Where were the marshmallows? |
Quote:
In the back of her mind, she could hear someone saying something, but that didn't matter either at the moment. Oh no, it didn't. O___O!! Eyes widening as the fire seemed to increase from something being kicked into it, a smile played across her lips as she stared at the flames. LOOKATIT! "Focalia." TeeheeMWAHAHA! More twigs! Actually, this almost reminded her of winter. She just needed the gloves, mittens, hat, and blanket to complete it all! Except, she needed items to transfigure them into these things. Items that she didn't bring. Frowning, Evelyn sighed and crossed her arms, before looking arm. MEEP! "When did you get here?" And why didn't Destiny say hello!? HMM!? Frowning, the fourth year stared at the girl for a moment before smiling once more. "May I borrow your tie?" |
Quote:
Destiny did NOT mean to kick the wood shavings in Evelyn's direction. Sometimes it was like her feet had a mind of their own and when she says kick to the left, they kick to the right instead. Or, when she says kick in the opposite direction of Evelyn's fire, they kick IN the direction of her fire. They are naughty feet. Oh no! Someone should take the wand off of Evelyn. Why was she making more twigs? The wood shavings should have been enough! But nooo! Evelyn like big fire. Pffft. Taking a few steps away from her crazy pyromaniac best friend for fear of her eyebrows singed off, Destiny decided it best to ignore her. Yup. If she burnt down the school, she was not going to be guilty by association! No Azkaban for Destiny Shepard! Just about to create more holey and thin boards since her fire seemed t be dying, she heard Evelyn speak.. ..to her. "I've been here. And what do you want my tie for? Don't you have your own?" Hmmmm!? |
With one eye permanently fixed on the Slytherin girls who had graced the room, Preston moved toward the young man who had finally come to do his penance. Quote:
He raised an eyebrow at the boy, expecting gratitude. After all, the ruffled-man could have cost the Hufflepuff his shot at eternal glory. |
Quote:
"Ppprofessor," the boy stammered, slightly startled at the ruffled man's sudden appearance. He bowed his head slightly and nodded. "Uh, yeah, about that. Thanks. Hogwarts and Hufflepuff thank you." Though perhaps this certain Puff would not be so thankful soon enough. |
Quote:
Preston gestured to a particularly unpleasant looking corner of the room. Te floor was sticky, caked with unknown remnants of exploded, singed and melted targets. Next to them, a bucked of soapy water and a scrub brush rested. "I could use some assistance cleaning, Mister Fletcher. There remanants of some rather foolish spellwork." He walked away before turning back. "Oh, and without magic, please. No gloves." |
Quote:
MEEP! That meant...she was losing her touch on her awesome 'i know where everything and everyone is around me' skills. If, she even had those skills in the first place. They were pretty useful in her room though. Especially in a room full of Slytherins. "Because, you're an awesome friend who has a better tie than I do. And, I need to borrow it." Smiling, she held out her hand that didn't hold her wand, her eyes flickering to the orange and yellow flames of the fire. "Please? I'll give it back. Promise!" And relatively unharmed. Or she'll steal one of the other Slytherins ties and give it to her. They all looked the same! Besides, she couldn't use her OWN tie! She needed it! |
Quote:
Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare. "Well but.... but...." Fletcher looked between the scrub brush and soapy water and the retreating professor. "Couldn't magic be your assistance? Sir?!" Fletcher did not do cleaning, no he did not. And if he did, it was ALWAYS with magic. He was starting to feel rather panicky right now at the thought of being left alone with nothing to do but stare at a pail and a brush. |
Quote:
"You didn't think I'd let your stunt go without any repercussions, did you? Make sure to put a little elbow grease into it. It's rather stuck on." |
Quote:
"Fine. Whatever. It's just gunk." The Hufflepuff shrugged to put on a great show of not caring about the task before him and then literally stomped over to the bucket and scrub brush. He nudged the pail with his toe, wrinkling his nose at all the bubbles, and then kicked it again, harder this time. The bucket tipped over and Fletcher let out a long stream of swears under his breath. He had to hop backward to avoid drenching his own shoes and grunted at the stupid.... stupidness of this task. Well there was nothing else to it. Might as well... do it. Fletcher heaved a great sigh and then squatted down, preferring not to get his knees wet, and started scrubbing. Hard. He had no greasy elbows so this would have to do. |
Quote:
Flicking his wand at the now soaking floor, Preston drew a barrier to prevent the mess from soaking the rest of the practice room. "Though, if you prefer grunting, I could potentially rearrange your features to be more trollish." He held out his wand, offering, out of patience. "Discretion seems to be a lesson you have yet to learn, young man. I suggest you make great strides to pick it up quickly in our time together." |
Quote:
Now he couldn't cuss and he couldn't grunt. How was he supposed to occupy his time here? He was a teenager; he needed to entertain himself all day long. Even while he worked. Fletcher dropped to his knees at last, hoping that he would move more quickly and more to Kingsley's liking if he was closer to the sticky spot. He let out a little sigh as the water soaked into the knees of his trousers and started scrub-dub-dubbing, harder now. And to keep the pace up, he started humsinging quietly to himself. "Come my little friends as we all sing a happy little working song.... merry little voices clear and strong.... come and roll your sleeves up! Sooooo that we can pitch in.... cleaning crud up in the... transfig... er... itchin..." Damn unrhyming words. |

"You might need a scraper for some of the harder goo. I'm not quite sure what they blew up in here." |

It didn't help that the singing Hufflepuff's mouth was currently open. "Pffffffffftttttttttoooooooooieeeee, PFFFFFFFFTtFFFDFTFTFTFttTT GROSS!" Fletcher spat out the disgusting, splashed water and shook his now-stringy hair out with an expression like a hissing, wet cat. He wrinkled his nose and glared at Kingsley once more. Rude. He could have just said, 'I'd prefer if you didn't sing,' instead of going and throwing WATER on the poor boy. He turned his back to the professor and picked up the knife. He started furiously scraping at some goo that had the look and consistency of yellow taffy and continued with some muttering that would hopefully sound like singing if Kingsley didn't listen closely enough. "You should know. It's your classroom." |
"I do not appreciate your tone, Mister Fletcher. Perhaps the scraper's assistance won't be yours, after all." Preston flicked his wand again, vanishing the tool he'd give then boy. "You can use your fingers to scrape it up, if you need." Pausing, and watching the boy for a moment, he added, "You may be a champion and a victor, but that does not give you license to behave recklessly in my class. You have a great deal of potential, though you squander any sort of a favor that talent would merit you." Conjuring a chair for himself, Preston set to watching those practicing - and managing not to cause a scene - and occasionally marking homeworks that had been turned in early. |

We all knew that wasn't happening anytime today. Fletcher didn't give the professor the satisfaction of another indignant look. Instead he tried using the edge of the scrub brush to scrape off the sticky stuff. He continued scraping as loudly as possible and only sneaked one glance out of his eye at Professor Kingsley. Fletcher paused as he had successfully scraped a bit of sticky up and leaned back on his heels. "What do you mean?" he rubbed at his nose with one soapy hand and squinted suspiciously at the professor. All right maybe Fletcher had misused his status as THE Champion a couple... of times. And there was no denying his like for the spotlight..... But he had potential? And talent? Really?! "No one's ever said anything like that to me." Fletcher shook his head at the professor as if he were delusional and went back to voraciously scrubbing the stained floor. |

Evelyn was losing her touch with not knowing Destiny was around. She was sure the smell of chocolate wafted everywhere she went, and since Evelyn did not like that stuff, she should have smelt it. Oh well. maybe her friend was losing that touch, too. Meant she could be sneaky and eat ALL the chocolate she wanted! Which she would have did, if she wasn't being asked to hand over her tie. Rolling her eyes, she glanced at Evelyn's tie. "I'm pretty sure the tie you are wearing is mine anyway." And they got their things from the same place! They were the same! Except..the one Destiny was wearing might have a few chocolate dribbles on them, but they weren't that noticeable. Mumbling to herself, she undid her tie and placed it in Evelyn's hand. "Don't put it in the fire." 'Cause..she like needed it. |
Quote:
Yaaayy! Beaming as the tie was placed in her hand, the Slytherin immediately sat down near the rather large fire now and placed the tie in her lap. Alrighty! "Thank you!" Mwaha! Smirking, she quickly drew a vertical line and said, "Escarpa Vellus." The spell she could remember. It was getting the spell right that was the hard part, and once again, it made it's point. It was still a scarf though! It was just, a Slytherin tie scarf...thing. Meh. Good enough. Wrapping it over her shoulders, Evelyn smiled before looking up to Destiny. "Can I borrow your jumper?" |
Quote:
It could have been her tie. It wasn't like they had name tags on them or anything. Did they? Destiny knew she didn't, but then again, the little bit of chocolate on all hers could been a name tag of some sort. Whatever. Sitting down beside her friend, she watched in HORROR as her nice, not so clean Slytherin tie was transfigured into a scarf. "Hey!" She needed that! Scoffing and mumbling to herself that she now had no tie, she started to remove her jumper, not really paying attention to what she doing. Rolling it into a nice little ball, she sorta threw it at Evelyn. "You better change my tie back. I need it." |
Quote:
Awesome! She was getting the jumper too! As she waited, Evelyn smiled and stared at the fire for a moment, trying to remember which spell was for which once more. Meep! Flinching and turning her face away just in case the sweater hit her head, the Slytherin scoffed, before unrolling it. "Yea yea..." she muttered, raising her wand once more and creating a nice curly-q shape in the air. "Vestis Cotone." Blanket blanket blanket! Well, it was a blanket at least. Gray. Still not folded all the way though like it was supposed to be. But still a blanket. Mwaha! She still needed a hat and mittens though! NOO! "Destiny! Let me borrow your so-" ... ..."Wait. Nevermind." No. She was going to use her own socks. |
Quote:
Perhaps that scarf was tied around Evelyn's neck too tightly and it was making her have trouble breathing. So, Destiny decided to help her out a bit. “YOU BETTER CHANGE MY TIE BACK! I NEED IT!” Because really, she couldn't find any of her other ones. She suspected Sly got a hold of them, and in a jealous rage, he went and hid them. What a crazy cat. Perhaps if she wasn't sitting so close to the fire she would have realised that she just handed, or thrown, her jumper over. It took her until Evelyn was sitting with a very unfolded like gray blanket, did she realise what she had done. Now she was tie-less and jumper-less. A very dramatic scoff escaping her mouth, she crossed her arms over her chest. “I need my stuff.” So she could practise, of course! :shifty: |
Quote:
...OMG. There was chocolate stains on the scarf still. What the heck!? Pfft. Untying her shoelaces, the Slytherin took off both shoes before sitting them to the side. Teehee. Now the socks! "You could totally start your own transfigurations you know." So, Evelyn could see if she was doing hers right. There was just something about asking the professor for help that didn't sound appealing at all. "Geminio." She just needed to duplicate one sock is all. Wooot! "Manus Vellus." Think...mitten! MITTEN! It, it was a mitten. It was a boring gray mitten, but still something able to put on a hand. ...it was waaaaay too big though. |
Quote:
Did Evelyn have to yell like that? It wasn't like Destiny was the one with a scarf wrapped around her neck. She could still hear properly. “Fine, jeez. I was just making sure.” And that chocolate stain better still be on it when she changed it back to normal. Arms still crossed, she rolled her eyes when Evelyn told her to start her own transfigurations. That was easy for her to say. “Are you going to let me use your tie and jumper?” And socks, because really, with all the fire in the classroom, Destiny taking her shoes off was not a good idea. Who knows what would happen then. She turned her attention to the fire briefly just imagining that. Professor Ruffles would be so angry! Turning back to Evelyn, she couldn't help but laugh at the ginormous mitten. “You plan on giving that to a troll?” Snort. |
Quote:
Because, well Evelyn didn't want to. Destiny would probably do a way better job at it then she anyway, as hard as it was to admit that. Mentally. No, she wasn't going to let her use her jumper and tie either! Meh!! That's what her own was for! Staring down at her large mitten, the Slytherin scowled, and scowled some more. One of these days, she was going to get a transfiguration spell right on the first try. Right length, material, color, everything. And she was going to scowl some more! Even after her friend just said that. Staring up at her, finally a small smirk appeared as she pushed the LARGE mitten towards Destiny like she had done with the scarf and blanket. "Alright then. Here." :evil: |
Quote:
And that is how you get the job done. Take a lesson from Destiny; annoy people and you get what you want. Unless that person happens to be a Professor..or a parent..but a Grandmother and best friend, works every time. Snickering to herself, she pulled her..scarf and blanket closer. Right, she had to revert them herself. Well, that was easy! "Reverto!" she said, first changing her scarf back into her tie, and YES! The chocolate stain was there. She didn't know why she was so happy about that, but she was. Another 'reverto' towards her blanket, she was HAPPY to see her jumper back in all it's gray and stain free glory. Pushing her jumper to the side, she was just about to transfigure her tie into a scarf when Evelyn decided to THROW that ginormous mitten at her. "I said a troll..not me...heeeeey!" Evelyn totally called her a troll, didn't she? Scoffing, Destiny forgot about her tie for a moment. "Engorgio." she whispered, and when the mitten was big enough, she opened it up and placed it on Evelyn's head. "There. You don't need a hat now." :mwaha: |
Quote:
Smiling at her achievement, because creating a small enough glove for her hand was a HUGE achievement in her mind, the Slytherin snickered as it seemed Destiny finally understood what she was on about with the whole...giving her the larger glove. "Just a joke." Teehee. A joke that apparently her friend didn't get. Ack! GETITOFF! Flinch! FLAIL! TOSS! Meep! Yea, she threw it. Where she threw it though, she didn't know. It was just instinct! |
Quote:
"Escarpa Vellus." she said, drawing her wand in the vertical line movement. Feeling the tie on her lap shake and shimmy, she looked down and HUZZAH! She had a scarf! Sure it had a Whooooosh! Giant mitten!hat went flying across the room. Snickering to herself as she pictured Professor Ruffles slide across the room on it, she picked up her jumper and laid it across her lap. Now, a blanket. Raccoon Girl..she could totally do this! "Vestis Cotone." she said, moving her wand in the snazzy curly q motion. Once again, she felt the shake and shimmying on her lap and looked down. Well..it was a blanket all right. A nice, bight, YELLOW blanket. Perhaps thinking about Raccoon Girl was not a good idea. She was a Hufflepuff after all. Meh. Wrapping the YELLOW blanket around her shoulders like a cape, she nudged Evelyn. "Hey. Give me some socks. I don't want to use my own." And kill everyone. |
Quote:
Scoffing, the Slytherin tried to pat down her hair, her gaze flickering around the floor to see where her mitten!hat!sock went off to. Oh! There is was. Waaaay over there. How'd it get over there anyways? She didn't throw it that hard. Or did she? Summoning it back to her, Evelyn laid it back in her lap before something extremely bright blinded her. "Argh! Get it away! It burns my eyes!" And no, she wasn't talking about the fire. Why was the blanket so YELLOW!? At least make it a nice GREEN or Dark RED. Because the color red was slowly starting to grow on her. Anything but yellow. *snicker* "You have your own socks." Besides, she was using these ones! For gloves! And...this one was supposed to become a hat. "Reverto." she muttered, thinking of how her sock was previously so the GIANT mitten went back to a normal plain boring gray sock. Thank Merlin a sock wasn't complicated. Mwa! And now...dun dun dunnn. "Manus Vellus." ...Hey LOOK! They were ugly and totally not matching. <_< They just, failed. |
Quote:
Destiny was almost knocked unconscious as the ginormous mitten!hat came zooming back towards Evelyn. Lucky the thing didn't land in one of the many fires going on. That would have been worse than being knocked out. Or..what if it landed in the fire AND knocked her out? That would have been twice as bad. But, luckily it was sitting in Evelyn's lap, away from the dangerous fire. Evelyn who was yelling about the color of the blanket!cape. "It's your fault it is this color, you know? If you hadn't already transfigured it, it would have been normal." Normal as in green or..blue! YELLOW is not a normal color. Hufflepuffs were not normal people so it all made sense. In Destiny's head at least. Scoffing since Evelyn wouldn't give her socks, Destiny slowly started to unlace her shoes, hoping that she put clean socks on that morning. It was so hard to tell which are clean and which are dirty when they are all laying under the bed. With the first shoe off, she gave a quick and inconspicuous sniff in and..HUZZAH! Her socks were clean! Taking it off and taking off her other shoe, laid them down in front of herself before duplicating them. Yeah! Now she had four CLEAN socks! "Manus Vellus." she said watching as all FOUR socks transformed into gloves. Oh look! House unity and all that jazz. "My gloves are better." But..why did she need four? |
Quote:
Pffft. Scowling, still cringing away from the brightness of the bright blanket, she finally turned her gaze away from it and stared down at her own gloves thing. At least her yellow wasn't blinding. It was more subtle. Oblivious to Destiny taking off her shoes, and...sniffing her sock...the Slytherin picked up her final third duplicated sock and placed it in front of her. Awesome. So the last thing she needed to try out was the hat. NOT a glove hat. A regular hat would be nice. And maybe not a dull gray either. Seriously, what was up with these uniforms?! Heck, even she was jealous of the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons uniforms. Not that she'd admit it. But at least theirs had COLOR. And the professors wonder why the students were so uncontrollable and annoying at times. They had to create some life in this place once in awhile! Wha? "You going to stick two of those gloves on your feet?" hehe. Why did she need four? And how did she get them to be different colors like that? Snickering, and keeping the jealous expression off of her face, Evelyn turned her attention back to her own sock and pointed her wand at it. Alright. Small circular...flick...aaaand, "Caput letrom." O__O!!! It was a leather hat? For real!? WOOOT! It was still a boring gray though. Pfft. |
Quote:
Was. She. Going. To. Do. With four gloves!? Four gloves of all different colors? She couldn't possibly wear them all! She'd need two other hands for that, and she didn't know any spells or potions that would help her grow another set! Gah! Sometimes magic was so useless. It'd be easier to be a muggle. Okay, so that was a lie. Destiny would never want to be a muggle. "Why would it be MY fault? You transfigured it FIRST!" Scoff! She should have never gave the jumper to her. If she reverted the blanket back, her jumper better turn back to that normal, dull gray that she LOVED so much. How cool were the school uniforms? They were awesome! Or..Destiny thought so at least, and that was all that mattered. Ignoring Evelyn because there was no way she'd be able to put gloves on her feet, Destiny pointed to the very ugly yellow glove and with a quick 'Reverto', it was once more a normal, clean sock. Now she could make a hat to go with her already awesome get-up. "Caput letrom!" she said, moving her wand in the snazzy small circular motion in the direction of the sock. With a wiggle and a shimmy later, sitting in front of her sat a..YELLOW hat. *FACEPALM* "Wanna trade?" Please? |
