Alright, now they were going to change the colour! He mumbled the incantation to himself. Okay, showtime! Hugo held his wand above his head, concentated, tapped, and said "Ris-TAR-is!" Soon enough, his hair changed from the beautiful brunette to... Bright red. He looked in the mirror, and actually quite liked what he saw. He didn't even want to perform the counter-spell. This looked gooood.

Make sure you put the emphasis on the TAR section of the spell, and really concentrate on the colouring. Keep practising to perfect it."


"It takes alot more concentration to change just a small part of your hair, but it can be done," Issy nodded. "By all means have a go, just be sure to focus extra hard. And don't worry if you can't get it straight away."


"Concentration and intent," Issy said, simply. "It's all important in Transfiguration, and Charms too. You need a clear mind, and to focus fully on the outcome of the spell. Just saying it doesn't work. Keep trying."


Isabelle was slightly worried by the look on the child's face when she asked that question. It almost had mischief written all over it. Or was she just being over suspicious? Hmm.

"This particular spell only changes hair. And, although I've never tried, I suppose it could be used on an animal that had hair like fur. Why you would want to use it for that though...." Well, that was another matter. "Paint - no, I'm afraid not."


"As I just explained to the young Slytherin here," Isabelle smiled, gesturing to Victoria slightly, "Ristaris can only be used on human hair, or possibly animals with hair. Nothing else."

SPOILER!!: The talkers







Issy frowned again. A sigh escaped her lips as well, as she walked over to the little group talking. "Can we have less chat and more practice please? Thank you."


A dummy? Was this boy really that nervous? More importantly, did she have one... "I might have a doll in the cupboard, but it's small," she said, tilting her head to look at him. "Is there some reason you don't want to try on yourself? They aren't dangerous spells, I promise you."


Isabelle zeroed her eyes in on the Gryffindor prefect the other side of the room. She hoped she was alright, after all - Issy had learned a bit about the girl this lesson. And her earlier question seemed to display a little nervousness.

"How are you getting on, Kurumi?" she asked, sidling up to her just after she'd changed her hair colour. "Did the first spell go okay?"


And this one didn't seem to be doing anything at all.

Issy walked over to his desk and bent down next to his chair. "Are you alright? Anything I can help you with? I really would like you to participate." And if she could do anything to make that happen, she would.


What was it with them wanting to change the colour of animals? It was a good job that Issy didn't try and do it to Angel - she doubted it would be appreciated. But still, she nodded at Eino's question.

"I'm not sure the colour changing one would work on shorter, courser fur, only that which is more soft and hair like. Plus the lengthening spell might not be comfortable for the animals, what with the fact it can tighten the scalp. So I don't advise using that one in case you accidently cause unnecessary suffering." And she was fairly certain that none of them would want that.



"Alright guys, carry on as you are. Try different styles and colours. If you want help just let me know."

Time for some experimenting! Kynthia thought. She always wanted to try that beautiful long wavy hair she saw on some celebrities but never managed to make her hair grow so long. And she defenitely was trying some short hairstyles too, as well as any color that came to her mind. This was going to be fun. Kynthia spend most of her time after that casting Felintas and Ristaris and trying on all kinds of different haircuts and colors.

Concentrating with all her might on the colour, Penny tapped the top of Launna's head once and immediately the long curly hair turned a vivid shade of Bubblegum pink....

Launna squealed as suddenly her view was framed by bright pink curls trailing either side of her face. She ducked sideways so she could see the mirror and immediately doubled over laughing. 'That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen!'

Launna had to have her revenge. 'Ristaro!' she cried, aiming and tapping her wand on Penny's head, concentrating on a lurid green colour. But, instead, Penny's hair went a deep shade of midnight blue and started fizzing as though with some unseen electrical force. That spell needs practise, she thought to herself frustratedly. Still, no one can deny it looks pretty cool.

Stood by herself in the corner of the room, her back towards the class, MJ muttered the incantation. "Felintas - that's length and style, right, try!" Long blonde ringlets? Eww! "Intaris - that's the counter-spell... I hope!" MJ's auburn ponytail came back. "I swear it still looks lighter..." She frowned. "Err, Ristaris!" Auburn became hot pink - now that was nice! "Felintas," Hot pink afro - neat! "Intaris!" Back to normal. MJ sighed. "Ristaris!" The ponytail turned green this time. Well at least she matched her face! Some more deep breathing exercises and she was ready to practice some more. It was taking her mind off the queasiness anyway.

Minnie looked at Justin and smiled. "That looks great on you! I'm going to try some high lights myself."

Minerva thought about what the professor said about changing just part of the hair. "I'm going to try" she said to herself. She closed her eyes and pictured what she wanted. "Ritaris" Minerva looked in the mirror her hair was still all purple. "Hmmm" So she did it again and still nothing. "Professor you said that concentration is key in this class as well as charms. Are some people just better at one or the other or do both classes have the same ability?" Not getting this spell as easy as the last frustrated her and made her think of how hard the other classes were with spells. "Maybe it was beginners luck." She mumbled to herself.

Taking notes of the next set of spells Professor Magnus had instructed them to use, Auggie looked at his notebook to avoid making eye contact with the angry woman. He hadn't moved on like he wasn't supposed to, but he still didn't want to be pulled into the mess. Instead he just fluffed up his now curly afro of hair until they were permitted to move on.

And they were off! Auggie pulled his wand out and pointed it at his new hair style and thought of the color he wanted. "Ris-TAR-is!" and when he opened his eyes, his afro of hair was now a dark orange color. The Gryffindor grinned proudly at his altered clown reflection in the mirror.

:claw:

"That looks good, lemme try it. Ris-TAR-is!" tapping his head, Harvey now had blue hair, he concentrated hard on a streak.

"Ris-TAR-is!" tapping his head, he looked in the mirror and saw there was no streak. He concentrated harder.

"Ris-TAR-is!" tapping his head, He looked in the mirror but again no streak. He concentrated as hard as he could.

"Ris-TAR-is!" tapping his head, He opened his eyes and looked in the mirror and saw a yellow streak in his blue hair. He liked it, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff colors together, Harvey and Minnie together.

Harvey laughed and looked at Minnie, he had done it for her. Both of their houses' colors on his head, but it was slightly curly and he wanted it straight.

"Felintas" Harry concentrated hard on straight hair. He looked in the mirror and sure enough he had straight blue hair with two yellow streaks in his hair 1 on either side of his forehead.

"I am going to keep this style!!" He looked at Minnie and smiled.

"Yes, yes, quite afraid! That would be wonderous! If I didn't look like a "clown" and you didn't either, that would ease my nerves! Shall we move on to the spells? We truly need to catch up to the rest of class! I don't want to anger the Professor again!" she said, nervously.

"We'll find some stuffing." Charner gave a definite nod of her head. No way she would let her partner wander around all...lumpy.

Cracking her fingers, she withdrew her wand and tapped it against her own head in thought. "Maybe best we do our own hair. And if we get really stuck and can't get the exact look we want, or end up misfiring and changing someone else's hair color," heh that would be sooo amusing and her expression clearly showed it, "then we could help each other out."

Cause truth be told, she knew exactly what she wanted. With a mischevious grin, she pressed her eyes closed and concentrated hard. Very very hard. Then it was a tap and ...."FELINTAS!"

The strange thing was she could feel her hair changing, growing. It grew and grew and grew and stiffened. With a grin, Charner let her eyes snap open and turn up in her head to try and get a glimpse.

And then she nearly dropped her wand.

O.O!

While she had been intending her hair to be spiked in all directions, and just a little bit longer, she hadn't intended it to be SO long. As it was her hair had grown up on her head in sharp, jagged spikes that were as long as her arm!!! If she stood up she would be on the way to touching the ceiling!!!

Startled and slightly horrified, she looked back to her partner. "I.....must have gotten over excited about it." Cause it was the style she wanted, it was just....really, really long. But given they were so far behind, it would have to do.

"Uhm...." Slow movements lest the weight of her new hair caused her head to fall off one way or another or poked someone's eye out. "You wanna try your hair now?" Because she really needed a moment to think about the color so it wouldn't blind everyone in the room if it went wrong.

He simply could not believe that he was actually going to be painted on and for all he knew, he would end up looking like the biggest doofus in school. Just listening to this girl made him think she was going to get all symbolic. Groaning, he sat still, closed his eyes and allowed the girl to do whatever she had to do.

After a few minutes, he opened up his eyes. All of a sudden, she began ranting about a heart and motherly love...WHAT?! "You painted a heart on me?!" Oh, no. Moments later, she requested his name. Perhaps he should give an alias...

"I'm Romulan...?" But the girl kept going on and on about yin and yang and other things. And a flower. A FLOWER WAS PAINTED ON HIM. Great. Now his right eye looked like some deformed monochrome circle while the left eye looked like the enter of a deformed flower. Let's not forget the ridiculous moustache she supposedly painted on him and of course, a goatee. Though, a goatee didn't sound too bad, just as long as it matched his hair. He wanted to look in the mirror but two things stopped him. First, he was frightened what he might have looked like and second, the girl was already pushing him to do her make-up.

"Alright, alright! I'm on it." Rory had intended to do something absurd in retaliation but somehow, he had a much more creative idea in mind and let his artistic mind take over. How unusual. After several minutes perfecting his work, he was done. Sighing, he took a long look at his beautiful masterpiece and nodded approvingly. Nothing could beat this paint job. "So, what's next?" Rory looked over at the chalkboard to see that directions for the two spells had been written out. He recalled the professor saying something about it but he was too busy focusing on his nightmarish face painting experience.

"I suppose spells are next? I mean, for our hair?" He hoped she wouldn't go berserk over that, too. So far, this girl was the most frightening person he had ever met.

Lola squeezed the boy's cheeks, wondering if his beautiful make-up transformation made him smile. Because a smile was all she needed--out of the horrible and terrible things that happened in this world! To know that she did good... to know that she changed a life to the better... with the power of make-up and Transfiguration, that too was a long-life dream that she craved for. Deep in thought, she suddenly twitched in surprise when of course, the boy spoke again.

Romulan???

LE GASPPPPPPP.

"Your name sounds so SHAKESPEARE, darling," she started, looking as if she was about to faint, "I'll call you Lil Romeo, alright? ALRIGHT! MY ROMEO... make me beaaaautiful." With that said, she immediately stood still, like a statue.

When the boy was done, she looked at herself. UGH. GORGEOUS. "I am a skeleton. A victim of love! LOLA IS NO MORE~! Call me Ellis," she insisted, "Don't call me Lola. Don't." An entirely new person sprouted out from her face-paint and like a robot, she mechanically looked at him, ready for the next spell.

She grabbed out her wand for the next spell and tapped once on his head. "Felintas!" Immediately, Romeo's hair transformed into a rather wild and strange afro. "You're such a pretty clown, now..."

Out of instinct, she dug her hand into his afro. "Amazing."

Hermione2286 09-17-2011 10:33 PM

Salima took out her wand Ok Salima the colour we are aimng for now is purple...don't be nervous...stop shaking.
She raised her wand and pointed it to her head "RISTARIS" she said as she tapped the top of her head. Her hair turned into a colour between blue and purple also her eyes turned a shade of pink 'Close enough' she muttered to herself.

"How are you getting on, Kurumi?" she asked, sidling up to her just after she'd changed her hair colour. "Did the first spell go okay?"

Kurumi held the mirror in her hands and look at her reflection. She probably shouldn't be so proud of herself for being able to manipulate her features like she had done right now, especially since she was supposed to be performing the spells. But...she just couldn't help it. This was a pivotal moment in the fourth year's life.

o______________________________O

Kurumi nearly jumped out of her skin when Professor Magnus seemingly apparated beside her. Kurumi knew this to be impossible because no one could apparate within Hogwarts, unless you wanted to count the house elves, but they were using their own kind of magic.

Kurumi nodded her head...then shook it...and pretty much looked like she was rolling her head around in a circle.

Kurumi pointed to her short pixie cut and smiled nervously. "I got it to change," she said with a weak smile. Not entirely lying, but the little angel on her shoulder was pulling on her ear and poking her cheek.

"P-P-Professor...you know that conversation? I...I was wondering if perhaps we could have it soon?" And then she would confess that she had been cheating during Transfiguration. Some role model she was turning out to be.

"Professor Magnus! I did it! I actually made my hair blue," she grinned widely, waving her hand enthustiasticly towards the Professor to see.

Isabelle turned on the spot when she heard her name being called. Greeted by an arm waving child, she smiled. "Well done, that is a very....bright blue." Extremely bright. Almost glowing.

"A doll would be good, Ma'am." She could make it bigger right?

Don't get on. Hmm. He didn't look like a first year, a bit older maybe. So his wand wouldn't be new unless he's broken his previous one. But as long as he practised the spells Issy wasn't going to question why. "I see," was all she said.

Nodding her head, she marched off into the mini store cupboard at the back of the room. Rummaging around in a few boxes a sudden "Aha!" could be heard, before Isabelle came walking back out clutching a Muggle Barbie doll - all flowing blonde hair. Tapping it with her wand the thing grew a few inches and she placed it on the boy's desk. "Here we go. That should be all right for you."

"Well could you possibly recommend a more.... permanent color-changing spell, Professor?" she persisted brightly. "Like say, one that could change the color of automobiles and paint and fabric?"

HEEEEEEEEHEHHEHEE.

My, my dear, your Slytherin is showing. And it was seriously worrying her why the girl wanted to know this sort of thing. It was like she suddenly had a beacon over her saying TROUBLE. What had she started with this lesson?!

"I could, but I'm not sure I should. Care to tell me what you wish to use it for first?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Yeah, despite appearances kids, Issy wasn't stupid.

"Do you mean do they require the same amount of concentration? Well yes, they do really. The two subjects tend to have more complex spell work, so making sure you are fully in control of it, and your mind, is a must." So many good questions.

Oh dear. Issy hadn't meant to scare Kurumi, but it appeared that she had. Placing a hand on her back she grinned by way of an apology. But it didn't seem to quell the girl's nerves. What on earth was wrong with her? She knew that the Gryffindor could be wary of melting things sometimes, but never as nervous as this.

Frowning with concern, Isabelle looked over the hair and nodded. It was different, yes. But something was telling her it wasn't all down to the spells. "We can have it whenever you like. I have time after this lesson, shall we go out onto the grounds? It's quieter. In some places." And she was quite eager to hear what Kurumi had to say and ask her.

--------------------------------

Having set a time with Kurumi for their meeting, Issy turned her attention back to the lesson.

"Okay everyone, I'll give you a few more minutes to have some fun with your hair, then I'll wrap up the lesson." Isabelle smiled at them all and went to sit in her seat. They seemed to be getting along with it better now, appearances and vanity had taken a back seat for most.



OOC: I'm off to bed now. I'll be closing the lesson sometime tomorrow, so just keep going with your practise, and again - any questions just call for Magnus. Please don't chat about non lesson things too much, that can be done outside in the general threads. Thanks!

Still, no one can deny it looks pretty cool.

Penny was nervous, sure that Launna would do something wicked, because she, Penny, had turned Launna's hair a curly bubblegum pink..... Closing her eyes she waited for the axe to fall...so to speak :lol:

Hearing Launna do the spell, Penny opened her eyes and pulled her compact mirror out of her back pack -

"O__________O"

Penny nearly had heart failure, then immediately burst out laughing... Her hair was the most ridiculous colour of blue and it was literally standing on end - Penny had the idea that she could almost pass as a mad scientist...

When she finally stopped laughing, she looked at Launna, tears still streaming from her laughing eyes..
"OK how about we fix these heads"... focusing her thoughts on fixing Launna's hair she tapped her wand twice on Launna's head said "INTARIS", and thankfully it went back to it's old style and colour..

Issy walked over to his desk and bent down next to his chair. "Are you alright? Anything I can help you with? I really would like you to participate." And if she could do anything to make that happen, she would.

Ashley looked up with surprise, having been a little lost in his thoughts. With a small smile, he nodded, deciding against saying anything about his little problems for now. They weren't that big a deal, and he could get over them. He just needed to concentrate. No need to bother the professor about it.
"Oh, sorry. I was just trying to decide on a colour," he said, sort of grabbing at his wand again, as if to say that he would definitely be getting to work in just a second.

And as soon as he was left alone, he did just that, with the head-tapping and everything. At least if it looked like he was trying his best, perhaps there wouldn't be any problems. At any rate, he was going to be a blond in a moment. Hey, clowns didn't always have a super crazy colouring, did they? Or maybe they did. But he liked the blond.

Josephine gaped at her, had she just gave her a thumbs up?! This was her favorite teacher ever! "Thank you!" she said, before turning her hair indigo and in a pixie-bob.

The fourth year watched as Selina went to work on her own hair, the curly strands seeming to almost drain of color until the formerly red hair was now blonde. "Well...no, just...different," he answered as truthfully as he could. Gideon had to admit that the color just didn't seem all too right on Selina but it wasn't terrible. Guess in the long run they both prefered each others original color and style.

Hearing Professor Magnus telling them to practice some more, Gideon tried to think of more ideas for them to try out. "What do ye think we should try next?"

Selina started to play with her now blonde curls as he spoke. It felt weird having hair like this. Every once and a while Selina would curl her hair, but the color was not something she was not accustomed to. She loved her red hair and having something else besides the red color made her uncomfortable. The same went for Gideon's hair. She liked his untamable dark curls. They fit him. The straight, red hair was not terrible- just not Gideon. "Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it either. But hey once class is over we can change back to our other hair. I like your other hair better anyway."

Then she heard that the lesson was wrapping up and she said, "I don't know, maybe we should change into the clown costumes now?"

Hearing Launna do the spell, Penny opened her eyes and pulled her compact mirror out of her back pack -

"O__________O"

Penny nearly had heart failure, then immediately burst out laughing... Her hair was the most ridiculous colour of blue and it was literally standing on end - Penny had the idea that she could almost pass as a mad scientist...

When she finally stopped laughing, she looked at Launna, tears still streaming from her laughing eyes..
"OK how about we fix these heads"... focusing her thoughts on fixing Launna's hair she tapped her wand twice on Launna's head said "INTARIS", and thankfully it went back to it's old style and colour..

Alyssa looked over when she heard Penny laughing. She saw her and another student and realized immediately what they were laughing about. The other student had hair the color of pink bubble gum and Penny had hair the color of the most outrageous blue. Alyssa started laughing and was disappointed when Penny changed the color.

"Penny, you should have kept that color. It's so crazy but at the same time, that color is what a clown would have." she grinned at Penny. Like this "Ris-Ta-ris" and Alyssa hair color changed to the same outrageous blue color as Penny's.

What on earth was wrong with her? She knew that the Gryffindor could be wary of melting things sometimes, but never as nervous as this.

Frowning with concern, Isabelle looked over the hair and nodded. It was different, yes. But something was telling her it wasn't all down to the spells. "We can have it whenever you like. I have time after this lesson, shall we go out onto the grounds? It's quieter. In some places." And she was quite eager to hear what Kurumi had to say and ask her.

Kurumi nodded her head. The sooner the better, right? No sense in avoiding the subject. Kurumi thought for a moment about where they could meet. Being outside and away from the castle would probably be a good thing and give her a chance for a, literal, breath of fresh air. Most of the Hogwarts grounds were pretty crowded, but the Black Lake was vast enough that she was sure they could find a quiet spot somewhere. "Thank you, professor, I really appreciate it," she said with another small nod. "Would...somewhere around the lake be alright?"

Question for Professor M
 
Em just stood there, biting her lower lip. For some reason, these spells made her a bit nervous. She really liked her hair, and didn't want to mess it up. Plus, she was sure she would get in trouble if her parents saw her with hair that was any color besides her natural red. WIth a frown and a small shoulder shrug, she decided to get to work. "Felintas, Felintas" she muttered to herself several time until she was comfortable saying the incantation. And then tap, tap, tap went her wand on her head.

After a few moments she decided she was ready to attempt the spell, so she thought of a hair style. Since her hair was usually pretty straight, the puff decided to go with girly curly hair. Closing her eyes tight, she concentrated on curls, gave her head a hard tap as she said "Felintas" opening her eyes, she rubbed the spot on her head that she had tapped. It had been way too rough of a tap. Grabbing a mirror, she gasped when she saw her hair. Instead of the soft curls she had been thinking of, a frizzy mess topped her head. Giving her head two much softer taps, she said "Intaris" and her hair went back to normal. LEtting out a sigh of relief, she felt more determined than ever to get the spell right. Thinking again about the curls, She tapped her head lightly while saying the incantation. The girl grinned when she looked in the mirror. The curls were exactly what she had imagined.

Now, on to the color. This she was still incredibly apprehensive about. What if she didn't get her natural color back? Would it stay the color forever? Trying not to think of that, she practiced the incantation for changing the color. "Ristaris, Ristaris",she said again and again, getting the feel of the work. When she was finally ready, she though of her favorite color. Deciding of the proper hue, she closed her eyes and tapped, as she said "Ristaris" quickly checking the mirror, she smiled. Her hair was a curly jade green.

Seeing her success made her wonder about what else she could do with the spell. Could you do something that you would usually have to visit a hairdresser for? "Um, Professor Magnus," she said "Is it possible to only color a portion of the hair? Like do hi-lights, or like a inch wide strip. And does the color have to start at the roots, or could you do something like make a two inch band of color at the ends of the hair?" Because if that were possible, that would be so awesome, even if her hair did stay this green color forever.

A few more minutes to have fun with their hair?

Well, if professor Magnus said so... Nora tapped her head once again, and muttered "Ristaris." She held up the mirror to see her new hair, which was still long and curly, and... electric blue.

... her hair was blue.

Fun enough?

As for the length and style... no, she wasn't risking that. If something went wrong, she could live with blue hair. For a while.

RoseMalfoy 09-18-2011 06:23 AM

Class was almost over, and Desiree wanted to try one last thing before they left. Looking in the mirror she wanted something.. bigger. Her crimped hair was nice but she wanted something more clownish. She began to tap her head "Felintas" "Felintas" "Felintas" until she felt it was big enough. She giggled a little at how ridiculous it looked especially still a bright blue.

It was almost the end of class so she decided to make it her regular blonde again. "Intaris" she said, looking in the mirror she frowned just a light blue. She was not being stuck with blue hair. She tried again "Intaris!" there. Perfect.

Anna Banana 09-18-2011 07:02 AM

Hmm, ...okay. Seeing as she only had a few more minutes to try and get more house points experiment with her hair, Sierra decided she better get a move on. At least class seemed to be ending soon. She hated the clown clothes, hated the clown make-up, and even hated the hair she was currently raising her wand to change.

She tapped it once on top of her head and said, "Ris-TAR-is!" With her mind on a certain shade of blue--sky blue, to be exact--she waited a few seconds for the change to hopefully take effect. She reached for her mirror and peered into it, pleased to see that she'd at least done the spell correctly. She tapped her wand another two times, pictured her normal shade of brown hair, and then said, "Intaris!"

She picked up her mirror, and...

...blue?! ...but she... Almost in a state of panic, she tap, tapped her wand again and then stressed, "Intaris!" Blue. Why was her hair still blue?! It'd change back, right? ...right?!

Cracking her fingers, she withdrew her wand and tapped it against her own head in thought. "Maybe best we do our own hair. And if we get really stuck and can't get the exact look we want, or end up misfiring and changing someone else's hair color," heh that would be sooo amusing and her expression clearly showed it, "then we could help each other out."

Cause truth be told, she knew exactly what she wanted. With a mischevious grin, she pressed her eyes closed and concentrated hard. Very very hard. Then it was a tap and ...."FELINTAS!"

The strange thing was she could feel her hair changing, growing. It grew and grew and grew and stiffened. With a grin, Charner let her eyes snap open and turn up in her head to try and get a glimpse.

And then she nearly dropped her wand.

O.O!

While she had been intending her hair to be spiked in all directions, and just a little bit longer, she hadn't intended it to be SO long. As it was her hair had grown up on her head in sharp, jagged spikes that were as long as her arm!!! If she stood up she would be on the way to touching the ceiling!!!

Startled and slightly horrified, she looked back to her partner. "I.....must have gotten over excited about it." Cause it was the style she wanted, it was just....really, really long. But given they were so far behind, it would have to do.

"Uhm...." Slow movements lest the weight of her new hair caused her head to fall off one way or another or poked someone's eye out. "You wanna try your hair now?" Because she really needed a moment to think about the color so it wouldn't blind everyone in the room if it went wrong.

"No need to worry about me!" Faven said, "I appreciate the thought though! She was so lucky to have picked such a nice partner!

"Sounds like a good idea, I think I understand the spell enough, let's hope for no mishaps!" That would just be perfect, first lesson and an incident? Oh no, not this class! Herbology had been quite enough of that!

Faven watched in wonderment as the older girl used the spell.....Felintas...it seemed, and sharply inhaled in slight horror as her hair grew and grew and grew! The girl's hair was so long and spikey that Faven was sincerely worried about herself and their classmates! "Oh goodness!!! It looks...." frightening, painful, jagged, dangerous....."Interesting" Faven said cautiously, not wanting to insult the girl. Had she wanted this hair?

Nervous that her hair would turn out like her partner's, Faven thought extra hard on exactly what hair style she wanted before whispering, "Felintas." Faven felt the tingle of her scalp that was the indication of hair growth, or at least.....her hair should be growing. Faven opened her eyes and looked at the mirror she had laid in front of herself. Her mouth fell open and a small screech escaped her lips. Instead of the sleek straight hip length hair she had been hoping for, her hair now resembled that of her father's. It was shaved close to her head and Faven could have sworn she saw a bald spot in the back. "Wha...wha...WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Faven exclaimed.

I need to fix this, need to fix this!!! Ohh what was that reversal spell.....oh yes! "Intaris" she said, she couldn't have said the word fast enough. Faven let out a sigh of relief when she saw her hair grow back to its wavy, mid back wonderfulness that she had underappreciated.

With a shaky voice she said, "Well...ahhhh I'm going to see if I have better look with hair color...and then you can go!" Faven wasn't about to let this go sore after the terrible hair style fiasco. With deep concentration she focused on the wonderful sea blue she had in mind for her hair. Not the mossy green of the ocean, but the clear blue of the lake near her home back in Scotland. "Ristaris," she whispered, eyes still shut. With apprehension she opened her eyes, and a smile spread over her face as she looked at her hair in the mirror. It was just what she had been wanting, and she knew she would hate it when the color had to return to normal.

reina malfoy 09-18-2011 07:58 AM

Alexia tried the first spell, Felintas. "okay.." holding the wand at ready, and spoke the incantation "FELINTAS." her hair turned VIOLET!! and it also grew longer. 'Ohhh.. it looks good on me' she thought to herself. then she got ready for the counter spell, which was Intaris. She held her wand up to her head and tapped it two times, just as Prof. Magnus said, then she spoke the incantation "INTARIS." Then she let go of a little scream, Her hair was HALF violet and HALF her original hair-color. she tried again, "INTARIS." at last she did it, her hair was back to normal again. 'Who knows, maybe that would come in handy', she said at the back of her mind and with a little grin on her face.

JustAlice 09-18-2011 09:38 AM

Okay, they could change their hair back now... "Intaris." The pencil curls loosened and grew a little until they were back to they're usual length... the curls were just a little bouncier than normal but... it looked good. So she left it.

However...

It was still black... and the ends still red... come on... she tried again.

Eventually she managed to get it back to normal and sat quietly, waiting for the lesson to finish so she could go and send the letter.

Jezabel Black 09-18-2011 10:16 AM

Jez tapped her head with her wand, relieved to finally be getting it back to normal. "Intaris." Her hair seemed to shrink back into her skull, returning to its usual length, the ends swinging at her hips. It had gone back to its normal jet black too. Jez couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She could have got used to 3-metre-long bubblegum blue hair.

Anna Banana 09-18-2011 02:19 PM

"Intaris!" Sierra said again, her eyes wide with slight fear. She tap, tapped on top of her head. Why wasn't her hair changing back?! Each time she tap, tapped, she pulled her mirror closer to her face to check and see if the blue had turned back to brown. What was she doing wrong?! "Intaris!" she said, with another tap, tap. She closed her eyes and pictured her oh-so-normal brown hair. Please, work. Please, work.

She pulled the mirror closer to her and released a breath she'd been holding in when she saw that natural shade of brown. Maybe she just hadn't been focusing enough...

Okay, so she'd been brown-headed, green-headed, and now blue-headed. Strange combination, but whatever. She lowered her wand and looked around the room, wondering if maybe, hopefully, the professor was going to let them transfigure themselves back to normal now.

She softly sighed when it seemed like there was no such luck. Ehh. Raising her wand, she tapped it once on top of her head. "Ris-TAR-is!" she said. This time, she pictured a purple color. She smirked to herself when she saw the purple hair in the mirror. It looked...pretty cool. Despite the fact that it was on clown hair.

On her way back up to the front to announce class over, Issy was stopped by a Hufflepuff with a question. Turning on her heels, she stood and listened, nodding along and ready to answer. "You can, but it's alot more difficult to achieve. The concentration required is immense to be that accurate, which is why it's generally easier to tap the top of your head and have the colour spread downwards from there,"she said with a smile.



But unfortunately the fun was over. Fun for her to witness anyway, she wasn't sure if they all thought that - judging by the faces on some of them when she told them the theme for the day. So at least now they could feel relief at being able to change back.

"Right then everyone, class is now over. You can all change yourselves back, wipe off your make up - I have some soft cloths over here for you to do that - and remove your costumes. If you could place those back in the trunks I'd appreciate it. Homework will be posted up on the board soon. Thank you all!"



OOC: I'll leave the thread open for another couple of hours so you can all wrap up whatever your character was doing. :)

elllla_Wtwins 09-18-2011 03:34 PM

Breathing a sigh of relief, Thea all but threw herself at the soft clothes. Her hair already back to normal, she began scrubbing the make-up off of her face. Once she was done, her face felt a lot lighter!!

Carefully folding up her costume, she placed it back in the trunk. Tossing the cloths she had used for her face in the bin, she returned to her seat to collect her things. Tossingher notes , wand and quill into her bag she turned to leave. [B]'thankyou Professor!'[/i]she called. One last wave, then she exited the classroom.

HogwartsHokage 09-18-2011 03:38 PM

Catching up...a bit. :)
 
Jenny squinted her eyes. Which color...hm...light blue seems to be it. Yeah. She tried to visualize it in her head, but the image in her mind was blurry. Concentrate harder! Jenny scolded herself.

"Ristaris!" Jenny shouted as she tapped her head once. Boom. Her usually black hair became an ugly dark green and muddy brown mess. Jenny blinked. Oh no!

Quickly, Jenny tried to visualize her old black hair. "Intaris!" Tap. Tap. One second later, her old hair was back again. Okay, that was good.

What???? That was just not enough practice time. Jenny gave a huge sigh as she took off her costume and returned it back to the trunk in the front, picking up a soft cloth on the way. As she wiped the make-up off her face, Jenny stopped. Her hair was still in an afro!

"Intaris!" Jenny whispered, tapping her head twice. Finally, her hair was back to normal. Picking up her bag, she turned to the front of the class. "That was actually an interesting class, Professor. Thank you." Jenny smiled sheepishly. Yeah, that was actually true...except for the make-up part. "Have a nice day!" Jenny gave the professor a small goodbye wave before walking out the door.

KynthiaD 09-18-2011 03:48 PM

After removing her makeup and placing the costume in the trunk, Kynthia picked up her things and exited the classroom.
"Have a nice day Professor Magnus!" She said smiling politely to the Professor. That was fun she thought, on her way to the common room. She always wanted to see what she'd look like with different hair...

FearlessLeader19 09-18-2011 03:50 PM

Jory tried different styles and colours on his head. Currently his hear was normal because he was thinking of a new combinations. Finally, he came up with one.
"Ristaris," Jory muttered tapping his head once and concentrating hard. He hoped he got this perfect. Sometimes the combinations came out right and sometimes they didn't. Grabbing the mirror on his table, Jory checked out his head. His hair was shocking bright green and each strand pointed in various directions.
Pleased with himself, Jory paused to watch his classmates as they changed their own hair into outrageous colours and styles, before he himself continued.

Jason Potter Weasley 09-18-2011 03:53 PM

William changed his clothes. He wiped off his make-up. his hair is back to normal now. Great class.

He shook his head clearing the thought from his mind and wondering what had gotten him to pay attention to such things. "Aye for certain," he replied in agreement to her thought on changing everything back once class was over, just barely registering it as he came back into focus.

The fourth year was about to say something about the costumes when the professor spoke up once more ending class. "Guess its too late for that," Gideon mused, inwardly grateful for the reprieve of having to dress up in the flashy clothes. The hair changes and makeup on the other hand hadn't been too bad after all. Taking his wand back out, he looked over at his noted on the counterspell for the changes and raised his wand to his head.

"Intaris..." he cast tapping his head twice as he thought on how he usually looked. The Gryffindor's curls soon returned to normal and he could feel them as he reached up with his opposite hand to check causing him to smile softly. However as he lowered both hands he wasn't aware the red still remained at least to some degree.

slytherus 09-18-2011 04:02 PM

The class is finally over? Thank Merlin! She hates dressing up looking like a drunk squib with white paint on their faces! "Intaris," said Aiden clearly as she taps her wand twice on her head. Her hair returns back to its original form, but she'd like to get rid of the paint on top of all.

Walking towards the professor, she takes a piece of soft cloth and begins to wipe the paint off her face. Then, she takes off the ridiculous costume, putting in back into the trunk. As she grabs her bag and was at the exit, Aiden glances over at Professor Magnus. "Thanks for the lesson, professor," she said before leaving the classroom.

Pixxi 09-18-2011 04:08 PM

'This is so great,' Pixxi thought to herself, 'I'll be able to change my hair whenever I'd like.' She grinned wider than ever as she tapped her head twice and said the counter incantation for both the hair color and hair style. Immediately, her hair changed back to the long, curly red it had been before the lesson started. She hurriedly wiped away the face paint, still leaving some spots and smudges, but she was starving and decided to take a quick wash after she had eaten lunch. She changed into her normal clothes and folded the clown costume neatly and put it back into the trunk as Professor Magnus had requested.

She beamed towards the Professor and waved goodbye. This had definitely been a very good first lesson in Transfigurations. With white spots still covering parts of her face, she exited the Transfigurations room, smiling as she was thinking about her new favorite subject.

Kurumi smiled and bowed her head again in gratitude. She didn't even really have the heart to pretend to cast the counter spell to those she had fake-applied to her hair. She was sure that if she merely forgot about the fact that it had changed or thought about ice and ice cream it would revert back. Still, Kurumi took out her wand and tapped her head, whispering something that looked like she was saying the spell and her hair instantly began to grow long again. The color also began to fade back to black after a few moments.

And just in time.

Kurumi immediately began to pack her things up. Having completed that, Kurumi walked over and picked up a wet cloth to remove the make up from her face. Merlin, this white face paint didn't come off very easily. Taking much longer than she would have liked, Kurumi returned to her desk and made sure that everything she had borrowed was back in its proper place in the trunk.

Everything packed and ready, Kurumi turned to give Professor Magnus one last look. "Th-Thank you for the lesson, Professor," she said as she tugged on her now long black hair. "I'll be waiting at the lake." Probably with a good book or some other homework.

She then made a quick bow and exited the classroom.

neaped 09-18-2011 04:23 PM

Right. The lesson was over. And Hugo still looked rediculous. Would Scourgify work on his face? Or Tergeo. Yeah, Tergeo would probably work. "Tergeo," Hugo said, pointing his wand at his face and the face paint vanished. He changed his clothes back to his robes, packed up his bag and smiled at the professor. "I think I'm gonna leave my hair like this for a while," Hugo said, pointed at his red hair and smiled at professor Magnus. "Have a nice day, professor," he said and he walked out of the classroom, hoping to catch up with Kurumi.

Hearing Launna do the spell, Penny opened her eyes and pulled her compact mirror out of her back pack -

"O__________O"

Penny nearly had heart failure, then immediately burst out laughing... Her hair was the most ridiculous colour of blue and it was literally standing on end - Penny had the idea that she could almost pass as a mad scientist...

When she finally stopped laughing, she looked at Launna, tears still streaming from her laughing eyes..
"OK how about we fix these heads"... focusing her thoughts on fixing Launna's hair she tapped her wand twice on Launna's head said "INTARIS", and thankfully it went back to it's old style and colour..

Launna was relieved once she'd checked in the mirror that her hair had gone back to normal. Bubblegum pink was definitely not her colour. Now she had to sort out Penny's - it wouldn't do to have her looking like some kind of blue-haired Einstein for the rest of her life. Raising her wand and tapping it twice on Penny's head, she muttered 'Intaris.' The hair shot out and down, until it was the length that it had been to begin with. As the colour gradually changed back, Launna got a sort of electric shock feeling down her arm. Probably something to do with that weird static stuff. She shook her arm which had gone kind of numb and looked at Penny, relieved to see that she looked normal again. 'Pretty useful spell,' she laughed.

Magical Soul 09-18-2011 04:31 PM

Louisa tapped her head twice murmuring, "Intaris." And the big lime-green hair was once again black, wavy long one. She went over to the desk where many cloths had been laid, took one and wiped her face. She was NOT going to keep this seaweed signature that lousy Ryden had given her. No way.

Slipping out of her clown costume the girl carried her bag and headed for the door giving the professor a FAKE smile, "Have a good day, Professor." And try to get us less-humiliating lessons, thank you.

Trish 09-18-2011 04:33 PM

Penny actually had fun in the class and was a little disappointed when Professor Magnus told them class was over...

Looking at Launna she said, "Thank you for being my partner this class - it really was fun".....

Penny packed up her belongings and was abut to leave the room when she turned and said, "Thanks for the great lesson Professor, see you next class"

Taking his wand back out, he looked over at his noted on the counterspell for the changes and raised his wand to his head.

"Intaris..." he cast tapping his head twice as he thought on how he usually looked. The Gryffindor's curls soon returned to normal and he could feel them as he reached up with his opposite hand to check causing him to smile softly. However as he lowered both hands he wasn't aware the red still remained at least to some degree.

Selina played at the curls on her head. Every time she pulled out the curl it would snap back to her head, but the curl seemed untouched. How did the curl do that? Something about the nature of curls simply fascinated Selina. Her blue eyes drifted from her hair to Gideon's face. He was staring at her. She touched her face and asked, "Do I have something on my face?" Besides her make up of course that Gideon had applied earlier.

She waited for him to answer her inquiry about the costumes when the Professor announced that class was over. She shrugged her shoulders and nodded at him, "Guess your right. Come on, let's get out of her." With that she drew her wand out and mumbled, "Ristaris. Intaris." Her blonde hair returned to its naturally red state and the curls flattened out to waves.

She collected her things to leave when she noticed that Gideon's hair was still red. Ahe let out a giggle and raised on her tip toes to touch his hair, "I think something is wrong her." She settles her feet back into the ground and looked up at him, "Your hair is atill red. Not that I don't appreciate we are a matching set... can you please change it back though."

Eino quickly changed his hair back to his original length and color, wiped off the paint on his face, and took off his clown costume. He folded it very neatly and placed it inside the trunk, together with the rest of them. He packed up all of his belongings very slowly and lazily then turned around and waved good-bye as he exited the classroom.

Professor and Faven :)

"Sounds like a good idea, I think I understand the spell enough, let's hope for no mishaps!" That would just be perfect, first lesson and an incident? Oh no, not this class! Herbology had been quite enough of that!

Faven watched in wonderment as the older girl used the spell.....Felintas...it seemed, and sharply inhaled in slight horror as her hair grew and grew and grew! The girl's hair was so long and spikey that Faven was sincerely worried about herself and their classmates! "Oh goodness!!! It looks...." frightening, painful, jagged, dangerous....."Interesting" Faven said cautiously, not wanting to insult the girl. Had she wanted this hair?

Nervous that her hair would turn out like her partner's, Faven thought extra hard on exactly what hair style she wanted before whispering, "Felintas." Faven felt the tingle of her scalp that was the indication of hair growth, or at least.....her hair should be growing. Faven opened her eyes and looked at the mirror she had laid in front of herself. Her mouth fell open and a small screech escaped her lips. Instead of the sleek straight hip length hair she had been hoping for, her hair now resembled that of her father's. It was shaved close to her head and Faven could have sworn she saw a bald spot in the back. "Wha...wha...WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!" Faven exclaimed.

I need to fix this, need to fix this!!! Ohh what was that reversal spell.....oh yes! "Intaris" she said, she couldn't have said the word fast enough. Faven let out a sigh of relief when she saw her hair grow back to its wavy, mid back wonderfulness that she had underappreciated.

With a shaky voice she said, "Well...ahhhh I'm going to see if I have better look with hair color...and then you can go!" Faven wasn't about to let this go sore after the terrible hair style fiasco. With deep concentration she focused on the wonderful sea blue she had in mind for her hair. Not the mossy green of the ocean, but the clear blue of the lake near her home back in Scotland. "Ristaris," she whispered, eyes still shut. With apprehension she opened her eyes, and a smile spread over her face as she looked at her hair in the mirror. It was just what she had been wanting, and she knew she would hate it when the color had to return to normal.

Interesting was one way to describe it. But not quite the word that Charner would have chosen for her partner's hair style.

She tried not to laugh. She honestly tried so hard not to. The girl didn't deserve the laughing component of that hairstyle, but she just couldn't help it. Snickers and giggles escaped her as she waved madly at her partner. "Nuuuuu leave it! It looked really, really good." Gigglesnortgiggle.

With a grin and giggles still abounding, and the class wrapping up, Charner picked up her wand once again and put her wand to her head. Another giggle-snort and she pressed her eyes closed, trying really hard to concentrate. "Ristaris."

There were a few more giggles before she opened her eyes. Really, given her amusement fit, she hadn't really expected it to work well at all. So there wasn't much surprise when she looked in the mirror. Just a lot of laughter. Now, along with her massive spiked hair, rather than the single teal blue she had intended, patches of blue in bright, brilliant hues that looked almost neon, stripped her hair all about her head. A holler of laughter left her as she dropped back in her chair.

Oh Merlin's great beard this class was AMAZING.

With a grin, she picked up one of the cleaning cloths and started rubbing her face free of the paint. Once that was done, she stood up and motioned her partner up so they could both change and head out. But before that, there was a very important question. "Professor, can we....keep out hair like this outside of class?"

Oh pretty please say they could.

Bazinga 09-18-2011 06:04 PM

Minerva cleaned up her face and got out of the costume. She was still frustrated that she wasn't getting the high lights she wanted. She came into class so frustrated with the entire wizarding thing. She wasn't getting spells right and nothing was working, but this class changed that she was able to change her hair so easily, until the streaks. She was so deep in thought she didn't even realize Justin and Harvey were asking her about their hair. "Thank you so much professor for this lesson." She went to walk out of the room, but stopped. "Oh Harvey your hair is blue and yellow.. nice" and she left alone.

"'Bye, William. Thanks for the help," Violet said when she saw her partner finishing up. Hmmm, maybe Gryffindors weren't so bad after all...

She had changed out of the ridiculous clothes and put her robes back on, and was now finally able to get her giggles under control. She had been working on taking off the stained-glass-like makeup she had put on earlier--she must have overdone it a little, because she was having trouble getting it all off, especially the blue and green. Her face was now clean except for a very faint greenish-blue tinge--Merlin, she looked like a victim of dragon pox!

Now, she only hoped she could change her hair back to normal. Intaris was the counterspell, the same one for both the hair length and hair colour. Maybe best to do one at a time. She concentrated on returning her frizzy curls to the straight, chin-length bob she had worn since she was a little girl, tapped herself twice on the head, and said, In-TAR-is!

But when she opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, she saw that even though her hair had returned to its normal length and shape, it had also changed colour (drat! she had made that mistake before at the beginning! what was she doing wrong?). Now she had chin-length dark brown hair that was still tinged with green. Although--she almost thought she rather like it that way.

"Intaris," Nora muttered right after professor Magnus had finished speaking. She was almost afraid to look again at her reflexion, but she let out a sigh of relief when she had seen that her hair was back to normal.

She also took off that silly costume and used a cloth to get rid of the make up. On her way to the door, she placed the costume back, and smiled at the woman. "Goodbye."

Hmm maybe she'll have some fun once in a while with those spells.

Aw, they were finished? She'd just been going to turn her hair green! Oh well...
"Intaris!" she said tapping her head twice. She watched as her hair changed from blue to brown, then fall down over her shoulder like it had when she'd entered the lesson. Her boring, straight, brown hair. She then slowly took off her face paint with a cloth the teacher had shown them. Now she was no longer looking like a clown! Lastly she removed her comfy clown outfit so she was in her boring school uniform. She was no longer a clown.

She grabbed her things, rather sadly at the fact she was no longer a clown, then went up to the professor. "Bye professor. Great lesson today!" It really had been. She might even consider becoming a clown professionally. Now all she needed to do was become funny...

RoseMalfoy 09-18-2011 06:27 PM

Aww class was over, she had really been enjoying herself. Oh well, right wipes. Desiree didn't want to walk around school like this (Well maybe she did..) but she wasn't going to. Tapping her curly clown hair she said "Intaris" and she felt it slowly flatten out into her stick straight hair. Walking up to the front she took off her clown costume and took a few wipes to wipe off the pink make-up.

Looking in the mirror she looked pretty normal. Well why they were there maybe she would try something... "Ristaris" Her hair was now a light brown. She could be a brunette for a day. As she put away her clown costume and gathered her things she smiled at the Professor. "Thank you Professor Magnus, this was a great lesson." the now brunette snake said happily as she left the room.

MadAlice 09-18-2011 06:33 PM

It took two more tries, but Violet had finally gotten her hair back to its original colour. Her skin, though, was still very faintly green, no matter how much she had wiped--maybe some soap and water back in the dorm would take care of it; at least it was green, and not red. As she walked up to the front of the classroom to put away her neatly folded cotume pieces, she smiled shyly at the teacher and said, "Goodbye, Professor Magnus, and thanks for the lesson. It was ... more fun than I thought it would be."

But, enough fun for one day--back to business; she had homework to do. And with that thought, she left the classroom.

Thank you." Jenny smiled sheepishly. Yeah, that was actually true...except for the make-up part. "Have a nice day!" Jenny gave the professor a small goodbye wave before walking out the door.

From her seat behind her desk Issy kept an eye on all the kids as they cleared themselves up. Then they started leaving. "Oh, thank you, Jenny. Likewise," she grinned.

She then made a quick bow and exited the classroom.

Isabelle nodded her head when Kurumi bowed to her. Always so polite. "I won't be long."

"Tergeo," Hugo said, pointing his wand at his face and the face paint vanished. He changed his clothes back to his robes, packed up his bag and smiled at the professor. "I think I'm gonna leave my hair like this for a while," Hugo said, pointed at his red hair and smiled at professor Magnus. "Have a nice day, professor," he said and he walked out of the classroom, hoping to catch up with Kurumi.

A chuckle escaped Isabelle's lips when Hugo confirmed he would be keeping his hair like it for now. "It certainly suits you, Hugo," she smiled, waving him out the door.

That was actually a good question. "I don't see why not. If anyone asks you can say it was part of the lesson. But do change it back if you're asked, don't want you getting into trouble." Isabelle gave the girl a small warning look, then smiled. No, she didn't want them handed detention because of her lesson.

At her comment about leaving, he didn't need to be asked twice for there was no real point in lingering in the classroom as everyone else filed out of the class. Plenty of other things to do elsewhere in the castle that didn't involve making themselves into something they werent for the time being.

The older boy packed up his belongings in his school bag and it was his turn to freeze as he noticed her attention on him out of the corner of his eye. He tilted his head in curiousity, noticing the girl was back to her usual hair in the process but Selina soon spoke explaining why and he reached up to take a curl into his hand to see for himself. "Aye..certainly," Gideon said, taking his wand back out to try again. "In-tar-is," he cast with the same required wand moments before looking back at Selina. "How about now?"

Anna Banana 09-18-2011 07:25 PM

Professor! XD
 
Oh, ...really?! Class was over?! So she could take off this ridiculous outfit, this ridiculous make-up, and change her hair back to normal? Heh. Awesome. With a confident tap, tap on top of her head, Sierra focused on her regular, brown-colored hair. "Intaris!" She also changed her hairdo back to it's normal state--wouldn't want to walk around with wild curls on top of her head forever, now would she?

Once she was back in her regular clothes and feeling much more normal than she had for the past hour, Sierra headed toward the trunk and put the clothes away. She'd already taken off her make-up, so all she had to do was leave now, right? Hmm... She glanced up at the professor. "Professor?" she asked, gesturing toward the trunk and then the clothes they'd used to remove the make-up, "...need some help doing something with this trunk and those clothes?"

Oh goodness gracious, her partner was laughing at her! Perhaps laughing was the right word.....the girl was practically snorting! Faven couldn't be angry though, she realized how rediculous that hair style was, and even managed to laugh along with her. "Very funny!" Faven said sarcastically. "There is noooooo way on earth I am keeping that forsaken hairstyle, no way no how," she added, giggling a little herself.

Wait....the girl wasn't going to change her hair style back to normal???? She liked the spikes? Faven didn't NOT like them, she was just worried for the safety of everyone the girl would go by, what with the...well you know....DEATH SPIKES sticking out from all directions of her head!!!

Anywaaaaayyyys.....Faven had been worried that the girl's spell would turn out awful, what with all the giggling and snorting that was going on. But she watched in wonderment as vibrant stipes of a bright blue streaked across her hair, it looked beautiful! Not to mention, it was a similar color to Faven's!

"It looks really....great!!! And we almost match," Faven laughed enthusaistically.

Faven saw her partner begin to wipe off her face and began to do the same, it didn't take long, as Faven really hadn't had the chance to do much. She got up when her partner gestured for her to do so.

They get to keep their hairstyles..at least until someone says otherwise??? Awesome!!!

Writing down a couple of notes, Ashley looked up when class was announced as over, feeling so much relief that he might have slid right out of his seat if he had less control. With a sigh, he got up to get a cloth, then set about cleaning his face and generally getting himself put back to normal. He would just leave his hair the way it was, though. Honestly, he sort of liked it, and if he didn't have to change it back right now, as he'd heard the professor inform someone else, then he'd just wait for it to do whatever it was going to do on its own later on. For now, he was going to gather his things and leave the class quickly as a frizzy blond.

jesifur 09-18-2011 08:34 PM

Jesifur changed out of her outfit and back into her robes, placing the costume back in the trunk as requested. She thought she'd keep her hair though, she did quite like the way it looked. Spiky and sky blues, much like her eyes. She took a cloth provided and washed the makeup off her face, she did't much like the feel of make up on her skin anyway.

She gathered up her things and turned to the professor, "Thank you so much for such a fun and informative class. I hope all my classes are as great as this one was!" With a smile she walked out to her next class.

Harvey took off his costume and wiped his face with the cloths provided but decided to keep his blue hair with yellow streaks for a little while longer.

"Thank you Professor for such a fun and interesting lesson. I really enjoyed it!" He said to the professor before he left

Charner paused and blinked at Faven. Then, she giggled again, reaching up and poking one of the spikes. "I think it looks ridiculous, but when do we ever get to have ridiculous hair in our lives? Very few times, that's when." Hence, she wanted to keep it.

Except....it was going to be a bit of a challenge getting out of the outfit. "We should probably change back." Hmmm. Tough process that was going to be. So, she started with the basics; the buttons. Once they were done it was arms out of sleeves and a slow but steady wiggle out of the top. It took a good few minutes to get it off without really damaging her hair too much, and then a few seconds to get the pants off.

She was fairly certain she looked absolutely ridonk with her hair, but that didn't decrease the smile she had plastered on her expression; if anything it made it larger. Turning her eyes back to her partner she made a motion to the clown outfit. "You need a hand with that, or you got it?"

Selina suddenly felt very subconscious about her face. Did she have something on it that she was not supposed to have? If so, why was Gideon not telling her that she looked foolish. Her hand went to her face again and she, as discreetly as possible, tried to find something on her face that was worth staring at. She came up with nothing, that was odd.

When he changed his hair back to normal shade that suited him so well she beamed at him and placed her hands on her hips, Much better. I like this look on you far more than the red hair, no matter how much more superior red heads are in general." She teased poking his stomach.

With that she turned around on her heel and nodded to the Professor as she walked out, "Thank you Professor, great lesson."

She started to walk back out of the classroom before she turned over her shoulder and looked at Gideon, "Well come on, let's go Gert. Don't hold up the rear."

FireboltAvis88 09-19-2011 12:33 AM

Alyssa was sad that the class was over because she liked seeing her hair in color. She tapped her head twice with her wand and,"In-TAR-is" and checked the mirror to see that her hair was back to the way it was. Taking the soft cloth that the Professor had left behind, she carefully wiped off her makeup and then she removed her clown clothes.

On her way out, she walked over to the Professor. "Thank you for the chance to play clown for the day, Professor. I look forward to your next class".

BanaBatGirl 09-19-2011 12:42 AM

Tori worked on changing her hair back while she waited for a response from the professor. "Intaris!" she commanded, tapping her head and watching in the mirror as her hair returned to its normal red state and regular length. Beautiful.

Next she got to work on removing her makeup, and once all of that was gone, she changed out of her hideous costume. Ah, sooooooo much better. Then she realized the professor was staring at her suspiciously, so she quickly plastered an innocent smile on her face as she packed up her things.

"I could, but I'm not sure I should. Care to tell me what you wish to use it for first?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Yeah, despite appearances kids, Issy wasn't stupid.

"Well," Tori responded slowly, "I want to practice my painting skills and need to know a really really good charm...." Cue sweet smile.... "PLEASE?"

She had a point there....fun hair was a real treat!!! She laughed along with the girl, this had been such a fun lesson!

Faven looked at her stuggle with getting the clown outfit off, should she help her??? "Do you need he....." Faven stopped embarassed, would it be awkward to offer her help?? After making up her mind, she turned back...and saw that she had already handled it. Great, I probably seem selfish for not offering help! Faven internally chastised herself, how would she make friends if she was so inattentive!

"Oh, I think I've got it," Faven said, "But thank you oh so much!!" She had already changed her hair back to the normal hair style, and getting off the outfit was a snap. With it being so loose and all, she practically slipped right out of it. "Oh gosh! I just realized I never introduced myself! I'm Faven Dragomir, first year Hufflepuff! Thank you for being such a great partner!" Faven said sincerely, she was embarrased for not saying so earlier.

When he changed his hair back to normal shade that suited him so well she beamed at him and placed her hands on her hips, Much better. I like this look on you far more than the red hair, no matter how much more superior red heads are in general." She teased poking his stomach.

With that she turned around on her heel and nodded to the Professor as she walked out, "Thank you Professor, great lesson."

She started to walk back out of the classroom before she turned over her shoulder and looked at Gideon, "Well come on, let's go Gert. Don't hold up the rear."

His attention diverted to cleaning up his work space, Gideon wasn't aware of Selina's searching for an answer to his previous stare and in a way that was on purpose. He didn't know why he himself had been doing so and was keeping any further attention away from his companion. "Duly noted. I will certainly do my best to keep said hair the way it is," he remarked, smiling amused at her antics with her hands on her hips all boss-like.

"Yes...thank you for the class, Professor," he echoed with a polite smile at the woman. "Coming Skylar...just thought you'd like to lead for once," he teased as he grabbed his belongs and moved to follow Selina out of the classroom.

Oh! The class was now over. Sighing in disappointment, Kourtney tapped her head twice and intoned "Intaris." Her hair slowly returned to its original curly state. She slid off the costume that she had picked and carefully placed it back into the trunk. Once finished, she waited for a chance to grab a cloth to take off her make-up. She noticed the professor speaking to a few other students, so she decided to wait until later to ask her about the charm.

Grabbing a cloth, she wiped off her face and looked into a mirror to ensure that all had been taken off. Her face slightly red due to the scrubbing, Kourt picked up her bag and worked her way towards the door. "Thanks for the lesson, Professor Magnus! It was fun." Offering a smile, she turned and walked out into the corridor, heading towards the Gryffindor common room.

Faven looked at her stuggle with getting the clown outfit off, should she help her??? "Do you need he....." Faven stopped embarassed, would it be awkward to offer her help?? After making up her mind, she turned back...and saw that she had already handled it. Great, I probably seem selfish for not offering help! Faven internally chastised herself, how would she make friends if she was so inattentive!

"Oh, I think I've got it," Faven said, "But thank you oh so much!!" She had already changed her hair back to the normal hair style, and getting off the outfit was a snap.

Help? Oh...that would have been...helpful.

A small, sheepish smile took hold of Charner's face as she folded up her costume. Oh well, what was done was done she supposed.

OH! Introductions! Those, were very important.

With a grin, Charner stuck out her hand. "Charner Hope Rainbow...but just call me Arnie." Her nose wrinkled a little. "Please never call me Hope. Or Miss Rainbow." Nope nope nope. "Third year Gryffie, though this is my first year at Hogwarts, so really I'm a first year too." She was postive it made sense.

Her grin widened even more. "You were great too! Thank you. We should be epic again sometime."

Because a smile was all she needed--out of the horrible and terrible things that happened in this world! To know that she did good... to know that she changed a life to the better... with the power of make-up and Transfiguration, that too was a long-life dream that she craved for. Deep in thought, she suddenly twitched in surprise when of course, the boy spoke again.

Romulan???

LE GASPPPPPPP.

"Your name sounds so SHAKESPEARE, darling," she started, looking as if she was about to faint, "I'll call you Lil Romeo, alright? ALRIGHT! MY ROMEO... make me beaaaautiful." With that said, she immediately stood still, like a statue.

When the boy was done, she looked at herself. UGH. GORGEOUS. "I am a skeleton. A victim of love! LOLA IS NO MORE~! Call me Ellis," she insisted, "Don't call me Lola. Don't." An entirely new person sprouted out from her face-paint and like a robot, she mechanically looked at him, ready for the next spell.

She grabbed out her wand for the next spell and tapped once on his head. "Felintas!" Immediately, Romeo's hair transformed into a rather wild and strange afro. "You're such a pretty clown, now..."

Out of instinct, she dug her hand into his afro. "Amazing."

Shakespeare? Oh, no. What trouble had he gotten into now? And this nickname she had given him. Lil Romeo. How absurd! Thinking back, he should have chosen a better name and for a split second, he thought it would be better to give her his real name. But that, of course, is a bad idea, especially if she ended calling out to him anywhere else in school. A new name is probably better. "Well, actually, my name--"

Yet another interrupted statement. What is up with this girl? All of sudden, she was talking about Shakespeare and now? She was "renaming" herself as Ellis. What kind of name is Ellis? Well, no. It was a pretty name. But why rename yourself at all? The girl mentioned another name, Lola. Wait a second. "Is your real name Lola? Why would you change your name?!" Rory shouldn't be talking.

The girl--Ellis--was now preparing to perform the spell. Clearly, she was skilled at this subject for his hair had instantly turned into a perfect afro, one that she had found necessary to play with. Not only was she skilled but she was obsessed with hair. "Erm...my turn." Rory said, pulling her hands off his head carefully, so as not to upset her. He took out his wand, placed the tip of it on her head, and cleared out his throat. "Ahem! Felin...no. Um. Felica...oops. No." Rory took a deep breath and quickly threw out the spell, whilst tapping his wand on her head. "Felintas!" He shut his eyes and soon as he cast the spell, and then opened his right eye just a tiny bit to see the results. He expected a sharp and pointy hair and while it wasn't a perfect afro, it was curly and very much like clown's hair. Though, it was a little bit floppy, leaning toward the right.

"Cool! I did it, Lol--, I mean, Ellis!" Now to change her hair color. How did this work, exactly? He pointed his wand at her head and instantly yelled out the second incantation. "Ris-TAR-is!" In an instant, her hair was blue. It wasn't the color he wanted but he tried it again. "Ris-TAR-is!" Rory continued to perform the spell until he got the perfect color to match her face but it just did not work for him. He saw green, pink, blue, purple, red...but none were just right. "How do you get the color you want?!" he yelled out, waving his wand about like a maniac.

"Okay everyone, I'll give you a few more minutes to have some fun with your hair, then I'll wrap up the lesson." Isabelle smiled at them all and went to sit in her seat. They seemed to be getting along with it better now, appearances and vanity had taken a back seat for most.



OOC: I'm off to bed now. I'll be closing the lesson sometime tomorrow, so just keep going with your practise, and again - any questions just call for Magnus. Please don't chat about non lesson things too much, that can be done outside in the general threads. Thanks!

Oh. That was such a shame. Beatrice just have grown to love that animated Hogwarts Houses color of her hair. Not to mention the ridiculous costume and make up she was wearing but she was enjoying it all the same. Too bad.

Oh well, there's still next time. She looked at her face for the last time on the mirror and pointed the tip of her wand on her head, tapped twice, "Intaris." and her hair returned to its normal wavy, brown long hair. She once more smiled at her reflection at the mirror. "Professor Magnus, thank you for such a wonderful lesson ! We enjoyed it a lot ! " she told the Transfiguration teacher.

Orla 09-19-2011 08:03 AM

She smilied interesting lesson even though she was quiet threw it

Jewelbev 09-19-2011 08:14 AM

"Intaris" she said and with a two tap on her head...

Beverly was back to her normal self... "Clowning around sometime is fun", she thought.
Cool lesson Professor...Goodbye and thank you. :D

"Right then everyone, class is now over. You can all change yourselves back, wipe off your make up - I have some soft cloths over here for you to do that - and remove your costumes. If you could place those back in the trunks I'd appreciate it. Homework will be posted up on the board soon. Thank you all!"

Class was over? Stella almost felt let down, since she'd almost started hoping they were actually going to do something now that they all looked like ridiculous clowns. She still thought of them all as such, even though she thought her own makeup was pretty cool. Colorful, at least. But it seemed that they weren't doing anything other than learning the hair spells, and the clown factor was just context. Disappointing, but at least they weren't all joining the circus or anything. That was too close to back at the carnival and trying to not get up on the stage to recite Shakespeare.

She gave Professor Magnus a smile, though, as she headed up to get a cloth to clean her makeup off. She almost wished she had a picture of it, but she wasn't about to walk around school looking like this. "This was a fun class, Professor Magnus. Even though I have to admit I questioned the clown thing at first," she said, as she got rid of the makeup and revealed her normal face once again. It had to look silly with her hair still all purple, but one step at a time. And then she got out of her costume, returning it to the trunk nicely before heading back to her desk. Time for the hair, it seemed, even though she was still tempted to not put it all the way back to normal. She didn't want lavender hair, however, so she tapped her head twice. "Intaris." She focused more on changing the color back than anything else, though, and as a result, her hair still kept most of the straightness even as it returned to dark brown. She could always cast the spell again if she wanted, anyhow. Picking up her bag, she sent another smile toward the professor. "Thank you, and I'll see you next lesson," she said, turning to head for the door. Of course, that was if she didn't see the professor earlier than that.

MJ gabbled a goodbye to the Professor and dived for the Girl's Bathroom.

Rosa Chispa Princessa 09-19-2011 01:20 PM

Wow, the lesson was over already, and he had not even changed his hair back yet. Then the professor said they could keep it that way for a bit after but to change it back if anyone asked. This definately seemed like it could be a bit of fun. Nathan wrote down the counter charm on a small peice of parchment:

Quote:

Intaris-changes hair back to normal
And with that he pocketed the parchment and gathered his things and nodded to the professor on his way out.

With a confident tap, tap on top of her head, Sierra focused on her regular, brown-colored hair. "Intaris!" She also changed her hairdo back to it's normal state--wouldn't want to walk around with wild curls on top of her head forever, now would she?

Once she was back in her regular clothes and feeling much more normal than she had for the past hour, Sierra headed toward the trunk and put the clothes away. She'd already taken off her make-up, so all she had to do was leave now, right? Hmm... She glanced up at the professor. "Professor?" she asked, gesturing toward the trunk and then the clothes they'd used to remove the make-up, "...need some help doing something with this trunk and those clothes?"

Isabelle sat up in her seat a bit when one of the students approached her. A young Slytherin wishing to...help out? Issy looked down at the trunks when they were mentioned. She didn't have much of a problem getting them to the classroom, but she wasn't about to say no to a bit of help. "That would be lovely, Sierra, thank you. The trunks need to be moved back into the practice room down the hall. I'll take one, and the cloths, if you could levitate the other?" she said, smiling at the girl.

Next she got to work on removing her makeup, and once all of that was gone, she changed out of her hideous costume. Ah, sooooooo much better. Then she realized the professor was staring at her suspiciously, so she quickly plastered an innocent smile on her face as she packed up her things.



"Well," Tori responded slowly, "I want to practice my painting skills and need to know a really really good charm...." Cue sweet smile.... "PLEASE?"

A narrowing of the eyes accompanied the answer Isabelle was given. Painting skills. Interesting. Creative even. And Issy had to admit that, being in school, Tori would get into trouble for anything she did wrong. "The Charms professor might be the better person to ask," she said, folding her arms across her chest. "But there is one called 'Multicorfors' - a basic colour changing charm, works on most things. You just tap the object, like you did with these spells. It's not a hundred percent permanent though."

"Mmhmm," Sierra replied, nodding her head. She slung her bag over her shoulder then flicked her wand out its holster. She aimed it at the trunk the professor had asked her to levitate and move. "Wingardium Leviosa!" She swished and flicked as she said the incantation and remembered the extra focus and intent, too. This was a trunk, after all.

With her wand guiding the trunk out the room, Sierra turned back to the professor. "Have a good day," she said, making her way out the room. Heh. Wonder if she could knock out any Puffers with the moving trunk...

OOC: I'll post here and then in the practice classroom delivering the trunk!

FearlessLeader19 09-21-2011 01:16 PM

After clearing away the makeup and replacing the clown costume in the trunk, Jory gathered his things and headed towards the door. ''Goodbye, Professor,'' he said ''This is the best class I've had since coming to Hogwarts.''
Jory headed for the Lake to relax and read over the notes from today's classes.

Having waved everyone out the door, Isabelle gathered the things she needed to take back to the practice room, and turned to watch as Sierra levitated the trunk. "Thank you very much. Five points to Slytherin for being so helpful!" With a grin, she lifted the remaining trunk and walked out the door behind the girl, placing it down, she locked the door behind her and carried on up the corridor.
