Isabelle unlocked the door for her first lesson of term. It was earlier than she planned, but still, it was ready for when the kids arrived from their previous lesson. She could just sit in her chair and wait for them.
As you enter you see all the usual desks in their rows, the blackboard at the front of the room right next to Professor Magnus's desk. On the floor in front of the board are two large trunks. On the desk are two boxes. You will find out the contents of them all once the lesson has begun. So please take a seat - Professor Magnus is already sat in hers awaiting you with a smile.
---------------------------------------------- OOC: I'm opening this earlier than planned, as my internet is going funny and I'm doing it while I can. Grrr. Please have your character enter and sit at one of the desks. You may talk a little bit to the people around you, but please NO EXCESSIVE CHATTER....I WILL DEDUCT POINTS FOR THAT!
Once the lesson has begun, I will announce it in the title of my post. From then on if you post your character coming in late points will be taken from them. Thank you.
Minerva shot her hand up.. "Um professor how do people know they are a Metamorphmagus?" Minerva was so interested in this class. She liked her other classes, but none had drawn her in like this one.

What she wouldn't give for a distraction...
...not exactly the sort of distraction she was looking for, but it would have to do.
Kurumi slowly turned her head towards the first year Puff and smiled nervously. "Sometimes they don't know," she said softly. "When Metamorphs begin showing signs of their abilities, they can be mistaken as a young witch or wizard just showing signs of magic." She was dancing awfully close to personal experience here, but was trying her best to keep things scientific. "After a while though, they may begin to realize that the changes in hair color...orphysicalappearance...are connected to their emotions." She had to add that second option in there. She hadn't had any physical features change, but her hair certainly was a major factor.
She leaned back in her seat a bit and looked back at her wand. "Fel-in-tas...Fel-in-tas..." she whispered as she tapped her wand on an invisible head in front of her.
Isabelle was walking slowly around the room, ready to correct any styling that didn't go according to plan. However she was stopped by one question. Just about to answer the young girl when Kurumi got there first. But her answer just sort of confirmed to Issy that that was what the Gryffindor wanted to talk to her about. "Yes," she smiled. "Kurumi is correct. It can take a long time to figure out that is what is causing the changes in their appearances. Younger witches and wizards don't have such control over their magic. Plus the fact it is so rare."

Okay, that was... Embarrassing. Well, Hugo did always want to dye his hair red. It was quite cool, red hair. And red looked good on Magnus too.
They had to wear COSTUMES O_____o
How even more embarrasing. They did have music notes on them. Which looked cool. Hugo liked music. He liked to play music. What if he transfigured a musical instrument, like in that one lesson, and he could play the notes on the clothes? He'd have to do that. That sounded awesome.
He looked at the people moving around. Oh, they had to put it on now? He could make art out of his face... His face was already a work of art though. He still didn't know if he really wanted to do this. At least it was fun...ish? He walked over to the make up thingy and painted his face. It had to look cute, not redicilous. He'd transform himself into some kind of cat-clown thing. That'd be awesome.
After putting on the make-up, he looked at his face in the mirror. Hm, not bad. Now the costume... He was NOT looking forward to that. He liked his robes, why did he have to put on this ugly costume? Ducking away in a quiet corner, he put on the costume. Wow. That was... Something.
Now for the fun part. Spells! He had to change his hair? But... His hair was so perfect. He didn't want to change it. It was too awesome. Although he could use a haircut. So maybe just... Shorter? And maybe lose the beautiful wings? Ugghhh. Alright. So he needed to strongly concentrate. Alright, maybe he could make it rediculous. He walked over to a mirror and imagined himself with rediculous hair. Yeah, that could work. Maybe it'd look good too.
He was confident that it'd work now. He closed his eyes and concentrated. "Felintas!" he said, tapping on his head once. He opened his eyes, and lo and behold. The perfect uglyhairdo. It was just long though. And not crazy enough.
So. Try again. "Intaris!" he said, tapped twice on his head and concentrated how he looked before. Ah, that was it. His pretty hair. Okay, now he could imagine another one. "Felintas!" he said, tapping his head. OMG THAT LOOKED SO UGLY. Nononono. No way he was going to wear that hair. "Intaris!" he quickly said, focusing on the hair he used to have.
Again. "Felintas!" and there, in the mirror appeared a very crazy hairdo. Ugh, this hair stuff was making him all self-concious. He looked oh so very ugly with that hair. Maybe he just wanted it shorter. "Intaris." he said and tapped his head twice.
Shorter. Shorter. Shorter. "Felintas." Tap. TOO SHORT
Oh, hair was really important to Hugo, did anyone notice that? He changed his haircut back and focused on a better shorter cut. "Felintas!" Alright, that looked okay. Maybe he'd change it after he changed the colour.
"Professor..." he asked. "Can't we change it around without changing it back to our regular hair inbetween?" he asked.
"If you repeat the spell it can change it again, but it isn't really advised to do it too many times in a row, Hugo," Issy smiled at the Ravenclaw. She didn't really want his hair falling out or something.
------------------------------------
WHAT WAS THIS?!
Isabelle was hearing spells she shouldn't have been. And seeing hair changing colour when it shouldn't have been. Narrowing her eyes at the kids, mainly for the sheer cheek of them moving on before she had instructed them to, Issy walked to the front of the classroom and pointed her wand at her throat. She didn't get mad often, but now was one of those times.
"ENOUGH! There should be no changing of colour to your hair, and especially not your eyes! I instructed you to use the Felintas spell, which adjusts the length and style ONLY. Nothing else." Her voice resonated around the room. Why did these kids not listen? It was clearly written on the board. "If none of you wish to lose points I suggest you stick to the spell I have asked you to do, and not move on until I tell you to. The next person to move forward will receive a massive points loss. Is that clear?" Annnnnd breathe.
"Carry on with the Felintas spell, please. And those of you who are still doing your face painting. MOVE ON. I expect to see you practising very soon!"

Isabelle was trying to calm down. The first time in one of her lessons where she had to lose her temper. It didn't feel natural to her. But her calming was stopped by an incoming student - who didn't appear to know what was going on. "Five points from Hufflepuff, Mister Wellheart. Arrive on time to my lessons, or not at all, please."
OOC: Seriously guys, please stick to what your characters were asked to do. Issy doesn't like getting mad with you all! Carry on plractice of the ONE SPELL for now, and I'll move on later when others have had a chance to do it. Thank you.

Oh, no!, Violet thought as she heard the teacher raise her voice. Her hair had changed color--but she hadn't meant to! She thought she had said the spell correctly, but maybe she had been concentrating on the wrong things--she still didn't really know what a clown should look like, that was probably what was messing her up. But she didn't want to risk doing it again, because the professor had said it could hurt your hair to do it too many times. She decided to just finish getting dressed and hope for the best.
'Sounds like a plan," Gideon agreed, tilting his head at the reference to the pair not sure what to make of it not all to familiar with the reference at least nowadays. He watched as Selina sat down, having no choice to follow as she pulled him down into the chair next to her. He almost laughed at her antics, but froze instead as he obeyed her request as she took hold of his face and the paints to go to work on painting his skin. The boy doing his best to not squirm in his seat.
"Wow..." he said seeing the result in the mirror. "Ummm, yeah I guess it is," he added putting the mirror back down on the table. "Now bear in mind I'm not an artist so I dont know what'll happen," Gideon warned, taking up the paints and going to work. The fourth year eventually showing the results.
----------------------------------------
When the professor demonstrated the spell, the woman's hair going into a new style then the curly red of the original clown look, Gideon watched carefully. Her later words and action made him realized that he was going to have to change his style too not just do one half of the spells she taught. "Here goes..." he mused thinking on the change.
"Felintas..." he cast giving one tap to the top of his head, his curly hair becoming straight.
Selina rested her back against the back of the chair and grinned at him, "You don't have to be an artist. I don't care. Just go for it." That was when she leaned forward so he could paint her face. She sat still for a few minutes trying to be as still as possible so he did not have to work around all of the movement. Although not moving was really hard, Selina was generally an ansy person. Sitting still was not her strongest suit so once he was done she started to shake out her body in her seat, "Sorry, just feel so confined when I have to be restrained."
She took the mirror from him and looked in it. She turned her head to the side and nodded at him, "Not bad, Gert. Not bad at all."
Then the Professor averted her attention from Gideon as she relayed the spell they would all be doing. She nodded as the directions were given out and she turned back to Gideon to say, "Okay, so i guess we should just..." She stopped dead in her tracks and put her fingers in his hair, "What did you do to the curls?"
When she drew her hand away she pointed the wand to her hair and curled her wavy hair and made it shorter, "Felintas."
Jez stared at Professor Magnus in wonder. She was the darn best teacher Jez had ever, ever, come across ... and that included her brother! Jez bounded up to the front of the classroom and quickly pulled on a costume. It was baggy and slightly itchy and looked horrible, and Jez loved it!
"Thank you so much!" she babbled to Professor Magnus as she grabbed a painting kit and moved back to her desk. Now the fun would really begin ...
After her makeover - Jez did NOT want a mirror, it wouldn't be healthy for anyone else if she screamed in horror at her reflection - she closed her eyes, and tapped her head with her wand. "Felintas!" She felt her once waist-length jet black hair shoot downwards. Without opening her eyes, Jez cast the next spell, "Ristaris!"
Jez opened her eyes, and saw her hair. It must have been several metres at least, and so heavy her neck was cramping. And it was the most violent shade of bright blue Jez had ever laid her eyes on. She was Bubblegum Rapunzel! Jez whooped in delight, grinning from ear to ear.
Now this was learning!
MJ managed a weak giggle upon seeing Jez transformed into Clown Bubblegumina.

Oh. Right. That's why the spell hadn't worked. Trying not to look up, or vomit over Professor McKay's floor, MJ tried again. "Felintas!" Short short SHORT hair! Quick, change it back! Change it back! "Ristaris!" MJ's normal long hair shot from her scalp. Phew! The First Year's stomach turned over again. Oh sheesh, the hair was normal, but MJ still looked horribly green. Doing some deep breathing, MJ looked around for some inspiration for hair styles. Her eyes snapped shut. "No, no, no! It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. Let's skip the inspiration shall we? Erm..." MJ said to herself whilst thinking frantically of hair ideas.
Emily was still admiring her facepaint when she jumped at the sound of the professor shouting. Woah, woah, woah! That was scary! She was just glad she wasn't one of those who had moved onto doing the spell yet. But it was getting late, so she though she better.
Looking at her self in the mirror she took out her wand, glanced at the professor again then tapped her head concentrating on what she wanted. "Felintas!" Almost immediatly she felt her hair shoot back up into her skull, though it stopped around her neck. It wasn't exactly what she wanted, it kind of looked like she'd just had a really short hair cut, but she admired it all the same. Mabye she should try again?
That kind of announcement was exactly what Ashley didn't need to hear. He could explain what had happened, but now he couldn't decide if it would just be better to take the deduction in points instead. If only he could leave... but that would likely also result in points loss as well as other trouble.
He was done, anyway. He'd put his hair back to the proper colour, as best as he could remember it, and since he had nothing else to do until it was time to move on, he could simply concentrate and do his best to keep it all the same, checking the mirror every so often to make sure it was.
But honestly, he'd never actually been so miserable in a class before. This just seriously sucked.

"Yeah that's a good idea. Why don't you try playing with other styles, and if you don't like them you can always revert back to this. Make sure that you are concentrating on changing the hair style and not the color. We don't want the Professor taking points away from you, especially after her last reminder," Alyssa told Minerva.
Talking about losing house points!! Alyssa shook her head just thinking about the 5 points Hufflepuff just lost because Justin was late. She couldn't believe that she had done that...come late!! If she didn't know better, she would have thought that Justin had done it on purpose. Alyssa sighed feeling frustrated with some of her house mates, but she decided that it wasn't worth getting angry over that. She hoped that the Prefects would speak to them about it though.

Reason: Had used Devina's name instead of her charrie.
It wasn't supposed to change colors? Lysandra started to freak out. Apparently, getting to turn into clowns made her forget what the professor said. I did the spell wrong! I did the spell wrong! She tried calming down and got her wand out again and did the same thing as she did with the Felintas spell but said Intaris instead, tapping her head twice and concentrating on what her hair looked like before. Black, shoulder length, layered. Black, shoulder length, layered she chanted in her head, closing her eyes. She opened them again to see her hair had seemed to return to normal. She quickly touched the back of her head to make sure that there wasn't a bald spot anywhere.
Very glad that there wasn't, she sighed and her frantic stage was starting to leave. Ok, lets try this again, shall we? And this time, no changing the color. She concentrated on the style she had earlier and tapped hear head once, saying Felintas. Her hair shortened a few inches and started to spike up again and the color remained a pitch black.

Jumping slightly, Thea stared wide eyed at the source of the loud announcement. Getting herself together, she quickly corrected her hair colour; the hideous style was still there though. Squishing her eyes shut, she wished for her normal slightly curly raven coloured hair back. Opening her eyes she ran her fingers through it breathing a sigh of relief. Phew!
Taking a seat, she tapped her wand against the desk. A few spark shot out of the end. Rolling her eyes she aimed her wand back at her hair. Closing her eyes she thought of a different style. Less frizzy, but still quite curly. 'Felintas!' Openin her eyes she sighed. This style was slightly better!
Emily looked around at the people around her, watching them turn their hair colour back or change the style.
Right. Mabye she shoudn't try silly hair yet, and just try something simple. Thinking hard she tapped her head and said "Felintas!" Her hair came up to shoulder length, then started to curl. It was in nice ringlets and she started to smile, then suddenly it curled up and frizzed. "AH!" she cried running her hands through her hair. This really was the definition of a bad hair day!

Reason: spelling :P
Nathan chuckled as he heard Jenny say he was not quite done yet. He felt her put cold paint on his nose and knew it must be red. She also brought them both a mirror as specified by the instructor. He could not wait to see what he looked like. He looked in the mirror and cracked up. He looked like some sort of strange diseased clown. When hw finally stopped laughing he jotted down some notes on the spell the professor talked about:
Quote:
Felinitas- changes the length and texture of hair
Then just before he was about to try the spell when he heard the professor scream and jumped slightly. Goodness, was that really the way to handle the people who were doing spells they should not be. Well, I don't wanna loose points so maybe I can talk to him after class in his office, yes. For now lets try the spell.
Nathan looked at himself in the mirror and imagined his short brown hair to have twxture of a scraggly mop. "Felinitas", with that he saw his hair turn slightly scraggly but not quite fully yet. He concentrated, "felinitas", that did it. He smiled into the mirror and then cracked up again.
I'm just one of those pretty little liars... | | I'm held down in this starless city...

Professor Magnus was kind of... yelling at them.
Oh. It was about the...
Waaaait. WHAT DID SHE DO?!
"Intaris," Nora said quickly with a couple of taps on her head, and also concentrating on the way her hair looked before. But... did the colour even change in the first place? Once it was back to normal, it still was that auburnish-light brown or whatever shade of hair she had. Not even she could tell.
And now... were they supposed to practice some more?
Nervously biting the inside of her lower lip, she finally decided to turn her hair into a more clownish style, and then leave it like that until professor Magnus gives them any other instructions. "Felintas," she mumbled, tapping her head with her wand and imagining her hair a bit shorter, and back to the curly style.
There. That should be good, even though she still thought she looked terrible.
Isabelle was trying to calm down. The first time in one of her lessons where she had to lose her temper. It didn't feel natural to her. But her calming was stopped by an incoming student - who didn't appear to know what was going on. "Five points from Hufflepuff, Mister Wellheart. Arrive on time to my lessons, or not at all, please."
OOC: Seriously guys, please stick to what your characters were asked to do. Issy doesn't like getting mad with you all! Carry on plractice of the ONE SPELL for now, and I'll move on later when others have had a chance to do it. Thank you.
Justin was in shock. " Sorry, Professor. It won't happen again. " And with that said Justin continued trying to master the spell that was given. " Felintas!" As Justin tapped the top of his head his hair grew out long and his signature waves disappeared. Looking in the mirror that he pulled out of his bag Justin grimaced . He didn't like the look at all. It needed to return to it's original length not to mention he had always like his wavy hair.
Transfiguration, another subject Scott had already grown to dislike.
When the proffessor started shouting he jumped a little, and then returned to what he was doing before. "Felintas!" suddenly his hair grew much longer, and he looked like an 80's rock star.
He didn't like it.
Wrong style, he thought. He concentrated on making it the right style. "Felintas!" his hair grew into a frizzy Afro which looked quite funky, Hendrix-style.

Violet had finished putting on her costume and took a look at herself in the mirror while she was waiting to see if William was happy with the makeup job she had done on him. When she caught a glimpse of the full effect of herself in the wild patchwork dress, striped stockings, big colored boots, with her hair frizzed out all over her head, she suddenly started to giggle. Startled, she put her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound--she didn't want to get in trouble for making noise in class. But she just couldn't get the picture of how she looked out of her head, and every time she thought of it, she couldn't stop laughing. She had never felt so out of control before--but it was also kind of fun, in a strange way.

And just because it was Carter, her sheep was probably wonky, too!
And yeah, she had no idea what they meant about it talking.
"Hush, Carter. Your eyes would grow back." Maybe.. if there was a potion or something. She'd have to talk to Lafay about that.
By the time Arya joined in in painting Carter's face, Destiny was openly giggling. It was too funny. Sure, she thought the whole working with Arya thing weird, but it was so worth it. To see Carter the way he was looking..
After a few more moments of painting, and a few more colors of course, she placed her paintbrush down and glanced at Arya. "He looks AWESOME!" And as soon as the Hufflepuff finished her side, they could slide him the mirror.
What in Merlin's name were the two girls doing? They were all over his face and neck. And what's worse... it tickled. He was never going to be a clown ever again. This was awful.
And why was Destiny laughing like that? It was scary. Destiny slid him over a mirror and he slowly raised it to his face.
"I... I..." he stammered.
"I look like a game of twister!" He decided then and there that if he got bored in class later he'd just play twister on his face. Left finger on blue!
It was going to be perfect.
He should start then. And so he put his left finger on the blue spot. Mission accomplished. He was distracted from his little face!twister game when the Professor began yelling. Changing hair and eye color? People were that far ahead already? They should get a move on.
He scooted his chair closer to Arya then looked at Destiny. "Any more bright ideas, or can I draw my duck?" The duck was even going to quack.

"Thanks...I remembered us talking about those star pictures," he absently mused as he wiped off the paint that had gotten onto his fingers. His attention drawn away as Professor Magnus started yelling, the boy shaking his head at his fellow students.
Geez...listen before you get hurt.
Gideon bit back a laugh as Selina broke off whatever she was going to say as she reached out to touch his now straight hair. "Temporarily misplaced them," he teased somewhat amused at Selina's reaction to his change. He guessed it didn't help he had done the spell when she wasn't paying attention so it had been a complete surprise but it was what the professor had wanted them to practice. The fourth year surely didn't want to be yelled at like those who had found it prevalent to rush ahead of the lesson.
"Nice..." he found himself commenting as she switched up her usual red waves for a tighter curl.
Justin was in shock. " Sorry, Professor. It won't happen again. " And with that said Justin continued trying to master the spell that was given. " Felintas!"

Isabelle's frowned softened as the boy apologised. "Good, please make sure it doesn't." She nodded in his direction as he began the first spell. At least he was doing that right.
But it really was time for them to move on. Positioning herself in front of her desk, Isabelle clapped her hands to get their attention. "Now we SHALL move on to the next spell - Ristaris - As was mentioned this spell can also change the colour of your eyes, but we ARE NOT doing that today. Just hair. Before I demonstrate it again, does anyone have any questions about this or the previous spell?" She stopped talking and looked among their faces. Their pretty painted faces. Some of them were very nice indeed.
Gideon shrugged at her comments and continued to work, holding out the mirror her to see.

Selina lightly punched his shoulder when he joked that he misplaced his curls. Wise guy. "Well make sure you find them, okay? I am partial to the curls."
Then she touched her our curls, which were usually his trademark and she joked, "I was inspired." Her blue eyes averted his and she looked at the Professor awaiting the next direction.
Eris gripped her wand, almost looking at it begrudgingly. She loved her wand, and was sure it loved her, but the magic they made usually took some practice, and the young tomboy wasn't exactly sure she wanted that practice to be on her head...
Then again, with longggggg curly beautiful locks, people might just be able to tell for once that the first year was indeed a girl.
Not that she was going to get her hopes up...
"Felintas." the girl muttered, her eyes shut in concentraion.
Long, feminine, pretty. Long. Feminine. Pretty.
She chanted within her mind as she felt a heavy growth coming from the top of her head, taking a deep breath, her chest rose up in excitement as she felt her hair.
Only it didn't stop.
The ebony curls inching past her waist, the witch had a wide eyed spazz moment.
She knew the spell finite incantantum but the teacher just said they couldn't use other spell. She could try the other spell, but that would take away the curls she just earned.
"Intaris." She command calmly, tapping twice. Within and instant her hair reverted to it's short and patternlessly falling self.
Again!!!!!!
"Felintas!" she tapped her head more calm now as the locks crew steadily down till they reached her waist. Oooo she wished she had a mirro-
Glancing at the desk next to her she saw one, very convenient.
Only to find she looked like a boy with long hair.
Wow. Guess some things can't be changed.
"Intaris." she grimaced softly as she tapped her head twice. Thankful that she at least got the incantation right it seemed.
Isabelle's frowned softened as the boy apologised. "Good, please make sure it doesn't." She nodded in his direction as he began the first spell. At least he was doing that right.

Emily had just put her hair back to it's normal length and straightness when the teacher said it was time to move on. Oh goodie! Hair colour would be much more fun.
Questions? Emily thought about it for a moment then raised her hand. "Professor. Do these two spells wear off on their own eventually? Becuase if they don't woudn't it be easy for everyone to change their own appearences?" And that would be bad because of criminals. They could become anyone at anytime which would be scary.
Ashley slouched down in his chair, preparing to lose points like crazy on this next one. Maybe if he just paid attention, nothing bad would happen. But to be honest, he wasn't even sure his eyes were the same colour now that they were when he'd walked into the room. He took up his mirror yet again, poking at a dark line of makeup and trying to memorize what colour he was on right now so that he could keep it in mind when they got around to actually practicing the next spell.
Now that she'd got the costume on, Indiana wasn't to sure if she looked that epic. It did look a little odd over her school skirt. But at least she was only little so she didn't really care about fashion that much. But she didn't really want clown hair. Her hair was already girl enough. Indy smiled at Ellie. Oh she liked the girl so much. She was nice and lovely. And had really pretty hair.
"Ermm..." She didn't really want to look like the clown on the box, because well that clown was a boy, and she didn't want to be a boy. "Can you do...hearts instead of the squares..." Because that would be so epic. But ooh. The teacher was talking to them. Indiana frowned as she listened. She didn't quite get that. Hmm. "ellie..." The first year turned to her older friend. "Can you show me how do to the spell again?"
"Of course," Ellie smiled. She thought Indy was a hearts kind of person.
She listened to Magnus demonstrate the spell and...yeah, they'll get to that. And, yes, she'll show Little Hutchinson how to do it. Hopefully, Ellie would be successful and not make a fool of herself in front of the first year.
But first, she opened the paint, "Hold still," she instructed Indy as she painted on her. First the white of the face, then red for the mouth and hearts under the eyes. In just a couple minutes, the fifth year was finished. "You could go get a mirror to see it if you'd like." But Ellie was quite pleased with her artwork there. It was nothing too hard, so it actually turned out okay.
Now for the spell? Felintas? Ellie wasn't one who changed her hair often. And she definitely wasn't changing the length. She couldn't bring herself to do so. But she would curl the ends a bit. Just enough to be noticeable.
She unholstered her wand, thought curly thoughts, and tapped her head, "Felintas." Nothing was felt, but she could see the ends of her hair curl into spirals. "You just have to concentrate." Nod. That was the key to anything in Charms or Transfiguration. Concentration. "Do you want to give it a go?"
.....
And now they were going to change the color? Ugh. Ellie didn't like that much at all. "Magnus, the spell wouldn't necessarily change your whole head of hair, right? It depends on your intentions?" So she could only change the tip color if she wanted? Something subtle and easily covered up in case of mistakes?

Minerva really liked Kurumi she was so nice. "That would be great if you could help me. I don't know many Hufflepuffs yet so it's nice to meet some more nice people. This class is so interesting. I have never been good at any spells the other classes have had me do, but this is fun."

Isabelle was walking slowly around the room, ready to correct any styling that didn't go according to plan. However she was stopped by one question. Just about to answer the young girl when Kurumi got there first. But her answer just sort of confirmed to Issy that that was what the Gryffindor wanted to talk to her about. "Yes," she smiled. "Kurumi is correct. It can take a long time to figure out that is what is causing the changes in their appearances. Younger witches and wizards don't have such control over their magic. Plus the fact it is so rare."
"Thank you professor. Umm Professor if I would like to read more about this, because it is so interesting can I find this in our text or are there good Library books to check out?" Minerva was so into this class she couldn't believe how much she wanted to know.

"Oh I will only do the one spell don't worry Alyssa. I haven't been that great in other classes with the spells so I will wait for the Professor, plus I would not want to lose any points in any class." Minerva didn't want to upset any of her house mates. She didn't know enough of them and she didn't want to get on their bad side. She was just happy that she was talking to more Hufflepuffs.

Carry on plractice of the ONE SPELL for now, and I'll move on later when others have had a chance to do it. Thank you.
