Gamp's Law. "Love," Chyler stated simply, raising her hand as she jotted down some pointers she'd picked up. This was... Fun? No, it wasn't fun. But it wasn't boring her to death either, so that was nice.

Satine shot her hand into the air,

"Professor, one of the exceptions to Gamp's Laws of Transfiguration is
Bringing something back from the dead."

Lexi raised her hand and smiled, "Animals may or may not be turned into Humans according to the law. It is one of the grey areas, so to speak." Yeah. Transfig was kind of her thing. Sometimes. Hehehe. Not to mention that this professor was pretty AWESOME!

He saw the Professor starting to laugh and the Slytherin lad started to grin-- which quickly vanished when he heard her explain. Ohhh... she aint Professor Kinglsey? And she's really a she? He chuckled awkwardly with her as he slumped low in his seat out of embarrassment. Way to make a good first impression doof.

His eyes re-focused on the board when he looked up at the board when something new was added to it. He raised a brow-- Muggles? Suddenly there's all this interest with Muggles. Business must be good for Professor Zookara....

And the Professor asked a question. Okayyy..... try not to mess up.

*think*
*think*
*think*

"Transfiguration is the magical act of... transfiguring....

--I mean transforming!....

.... of stuff. Any stuff.

... not necessarily just mechanical stuff."

FAIL!


Oh! He knows this one...

"Cant create food outta thin air!' he said suddenly. yeah he's pretty sure about that, othewise the Kitchens wouldnt have seen the sight of him at all.

"You can't create something from nothing" Zane said, raising his hand. He knew that one for sure!

"Depends what we're doing," Spike replied to Ellie quietly, before turning to the Professor as the lesson officially started.

Gamp. Gamp. Spike wrinkled his nose in thought. He'd certainly heard of Gamp's Laws a while ago. "Destination, Determination and Deliberation?" he wondered aloud, his hand half raised. At least, he thought they were Gamp's Laws. And you had to focus for things like transfiguration spells, right?

"You can't create money." Heather said after she raise her hand. She was very excited about transfiguration class. She loved doing magic!

Evan raised his hand again, though more hesitantly this time. "You can't create... food?" He knew that, but wasn't sure if it fell under Gamp's laws.

Georgiana was looking at the professor while she was explaining the class, she didn't raised up her hand at the first question due to everyone else did very quickly. At the second question she raised her hand and said " Food and... bringing someone back from the death" she nodded, it was the only two things she could remember.

Jackie thought as she twirled her hair through her fingers. She remembered reading a book, a fiction French one to be exact, and the girl bragged she could make food appear, but someone said it was impossible. Jackie raised her hand and said, "Professor, isn't food one of the five exceptions."

Kurumi set her name plate on her table aligned in perfect symmetry with her parchment and quill.
Professor Magnus Kurumi mouthed to try and remember this professor's name. There certainly were a lot of new professors this term and, while she was going to miss Professor Ruffles, she was looking forward to Professor Magnus perspective of teaching. After hearing the question, Kurumi's hand shot up to try and add something that her classmates hadn't already. "Professor, also a part of Transfiguration is Conjuration in which an object or animal is Transfigured from, well, thin air. An example of this I believe is the Incendio spell."

She then raised her hand. "Professor, someone has already mentioned love. But I would like to expand on that, if I may. Love is not something that can be created, rather is can only be imitated through a Love Potion or the Imperius Curse.In which case, this is hardly considered love and is more of an obsession and infatuation."

Jacob wrote his tag as the professor started the class with questions.


He put it down and raised his hand. "Isn't one of the laws, uhm... love. Magic can't create the emotion only manipulate and imitate it." Jacob stopped talking, maybe, he knew he'd read it some where... just couldn't remember where and why he had read a text book... or a regular book for that matter.

Simon couldn't think of anything else so he just sat there and waited for the Professor to ask another question, making sure his name tag was on the table he smiled at the Professor.

Raising his hand, Jake looked around at everyone else. He knew these rules vaguely... the food one was the one he could actually never remember. "You can't bring a dead person back to life. You can only animate them as though they're puppets. Like inferi. A lot of people think that's Transfiguration."

Jake's voice had been starting to sound hoarse and everything, tempting him to stop talking. However when he heard someone speak, he couldn't help himself.

His hand... was still up anyway.

"Actually, you can. It's only a few things you can't. But conjuring is a part of Transfiguration. You know the Aguamenti spell? Like that," he pointed out and smiled.

The Ravenclaw side of Miss Bott must be rubbing off on Mr. Morgan.

"So i can break the chair later? just not yet." a smirk was becoming visible on the boys lips but he did stop his rocking movements. No need the loose points for his house when it can be prevented , right?

Sitting on all four chair legs again, which he didn't really like, he prefered rocking it but whatever, Hyun raised his hand in the air again. " i heard something about intentional Curse Damage?" he wasn't sure about that one though.

As Sierra listened to the answers of those around her, she adjusted the position of her name card so that it was facing the professor. It said:

Sierra Greingoth
First Year
Slytherin

There now. With that over and done with, she raised her hand to chime in a response to Gamp's Law off Elemental Transfiguration. There weren't that many, and she was sure all of them had at least been mentioned already, but nevertheless she spoke up anyway. "Food can actually multiplied once you have a real piece of food to duplicate, but you can't just create food from nothing at all," she said.

Zane looked over his shoulder, "Really? I thought you were drawing water out of the air for that charm. Looks like I stand corrected, thanks." Zane smiled after learning something he didn't know. He made a mental note to check on it if the Professor didn't mention in class though, just for the sake of knowing.

Conan raised his hand, "Who is Gamp?" And why did he have laws? What made him so special?

Luin had her card on her table that she had written out,

She took some notes as the professor spoke, her pen quivering over the parchment ready to jot down any answer.

She listened to some of the other student's answers, writing those that were spoken and adding some addendums.

Luin then added the teacher's answer to her list:
She rose her hand immediately in order to reply to the question, " One example of an exception to Gamp's Laws is bringing a person back to life."

Chloe heard the first question and her hand shot up and she responded, "I believe that you can't duplicate money under Gamp's laws".

Annabelle noticed the notecard on her desk and wrote down her name.

Annabelle Lecium
Hufflepuff
First Year


Belle thought of what the laws were..she knew one of them. "Professor isn't food one of Gamp's laws?" that is all about she knew so far.

Patroclus Hudson, Prefect
Fifth Year
Lion

Smiling at the new Professor, Patroclus raised his hand, "One rule is the inability to ressurect the dead, however their are notable attempts to circumvent this rule, such as the use of Inferi, a horrible and deeply evil use of enliving the corspes of dead people. However they remain dead, just animated." He nodded sternly, it was a grim issue, but an example none the less, "And there is also the myth of the Ressurection Stone, a way to recall those who have pasted on, yet they would appeared cold and distant, as though seperated by a veil."
Let them lie in peace, that was Patroclus thougths anyway.

Annie raised her hand. That was something she really didn't quite understand, but it was worth the try, right? "Isn't one love? And may I ask why? Because it seems to me, as making a contrast with my classmates' answers, that you cannot create things simply out of nothing. So..." Why?

And that's why Annie needed, HAD to attend potion lessons.

Lexi raised her hand again and said, "Professor... I know that food cannot be created from nothing... but if it is possible to Transfigure objects into animals couldn't meat be taken from that animal and eaten?"

Ravens wrote his name in a parchment

Raven Read the text in the board
The lesson is about muggles to like in potion, "Transfiguration, yes" Raven weakly say

"Professor Magnus, new Master of Tranfiguration" Raven say weakly. now about the question. Raven raised his hand "Professor, Transfiguration is a kind of charm that make other things to another ones" Raven smiled

Raven read this in the library, He raised his hand and said "Professor, one of those five is about food production, like no one can conjured food out of tin air" Raven smile weakly, he hasn't sue if anyone say it.
