Minerva put her hand up. "Well Professor the words are Latin I think. I'm not that great at Latin but Statua means statue or image, right? Then Habitum means I think hold. So does the spell me to old an image?" |
Autumn watched The professor so carefuly. Damn! they won't be doing something horrible to the picture..But she had brought a back up.. she ripped her previous picture upped and dove into her bag for her other one. It was her best picture of her, she had it done professionally and they made her look so magical in a amazing garden full of roses! She picked up her wand and the paper she traced a square on the paper, easy enough! " 'Stat-UA HAB-itum' 'Stat-UA HAB-itum' " she picked up the paper and placed it in front of her as she drew the square and simmiltanously said " 'Stat-UA HAB-itum' " It turned into the most beautiful frame! Gold with purple butterflies and ivy decoration, perfect for the picture! That was amazing!!. |

She understood what the professor said about pronunciation. Tayla did struggle with it at first, and in fact still did especially when she wasn't concentrating well. Hearing Professor Magnus' question, she raised her hand and said "Professor, I believe the words are in Latin. 'Statua' probably means 'statue'. While 'habitum'....I'm not so sure. Maybe it refers to the appearance or the shape?" Tayla was making a guess, but she hoped she was at least close to correct. |
Text Cut: Professor MAGNUUUUSSS "You're welcome!" Lewis replied happily, as the professor walked past and thanked him for his help. SCORE! One more professor who seemed to like him. Transfiguration was definitely going on his favorite-classes list now. Right there after Charms. And Potions. But then, it was RIGHT THERE at the top! Back to the theoretical part of the lesson. Lewis quickly took a seat again, and realizing he was still holding on to his PINK picture frame, he put it on his lap. He would get rid of it later. Or you know, revert it back to its original state. As long as nobody saw it, he was good. YESLANGUAGES! Lewis almost bounced in his seat as he raised his hand to answer the question. Almost. He managed to control himself a little. "It's Latin, Professor. I think, habitum comes from the word habere which means to have, possess or regard. And Statua means statue." Yes. He wasn't quite sure what either of those two words had to do with picture frames but you know. |
He didn't quite manage to transfigure his piece of paper into photo frame earlier. So, Messer decided to give it another try. He traced a sqaure shape over the paper then began performing the spell. "Stat-UA HAB-itum'" Again nothing happen. He frowned. Once again "Stat-UA HAB-itum" And to his surprise the paper turned into a very simple photo frame. At least he managed to transfigure the paper. The eleven looked up when Professor Magnus asked them a question. He raised his hand up in the air "Is it Latin, Professor?" Because most of the incantations were in Latin. "I think the word statua mean statue in Latin and Habitum mean..." Umm.. "Maintained perhaps." he shrugged. |
Minerva decided to try again. She traced the paper as a square "Stat-UA HAB-itum" the picture frame popped up nicely this time. SPOILER!!: |
SPOILER!!: professor The third year tossed back her dark hair, getting annoyed. If this piece of paper didn't start cooperating, she was going to get aggressive. Bubbles had now began to emit out of her wand tip also. Face palming, Thea took a deep breath. After practising the spell and doing the wand movement in the air, she had felt ready. Now however, she was a bit unsure. The piece of paper kept moving for one thing, and she had no idea why or how it was doing this.. Looking up for a moment, she spotted Daichi getting frustrated across the room. Biting her lip, she looked down. He had help. The kid was fine. Frowning, Thea went back to her practising. 'Statua Habitum..' the third year spoke clearly, but not too loudly. This seemed to do the trick. Before her sat a delicately decorated glass frame. Smiling slightly to herself, she ran a finger along the intricate designs of flowers and vines. It was a pretty frame. Not too bad for a third year.. Mwahaha. Popping her wand down onto the desk, she looked up. Raising an eyebrow, she was disappointed when she had no clue what the answer was to this question. Boo. Raking a hair through her tousled mane, Thea settled down to take some notes. |
LuLu's raised into the air, She knew Latin when she heard it and it was obvious it was mentioned in alot of classes and in every spell book there is! ''I believe it's Latin, Proffeser! The habit of the statue... To be exact,'' Which made sense statue and the habit of she ehh didn't get that part but still She stared at her parchement again ''Stat-UA HAB-itum,'' It worked this time! Actully worked!!!! YAY!! She smiled at herself looking at the wonky frame.. Oh no.. |
Ira's first attempt had gone completely wrong. So she tried again. She wasn't the one to give up easily! She looked over her notes once more: SPOILER!!: Ira's Notes She closed her eyes and concentrated on the image of the photo frame she wanted, in her mind. Then, tracing a square on the paper in front of her, she muttered, "Statua Habitum" clearly. And then opened her eyes to see the result. And Lo! there was her desired photo frame |
Alyssa thought for a while repeating the words before she raised her hand,"Professor could the words 'Statua Habitum' be latin based? Could Statua mean image or statue, while Habitum means to hold or to possess?" Alyssa hoped that her interpretation was correct |

"It comes from Latin," she said when she raised her hand, thinking of what it meant. She shouldn't have raised her hand. "I think statua might mean statue or... to stay?" Uhm... "I have no idea for habitum, though." Or at least nothing that would actually make sense. |
SPOILER!!: Professor Ira looked at the professor, as she suggested a break from practicing. That was good. But then she asked a question. No, that was not good! Still, Ira raised her hand up, though not wanting to answer but having to since she had been quiet until now, "Professor, I think it sounds like latin.. And so if it is in latin, then 'Statua' in latin means 'Statue' in English" But what about Habitum? Ira didn't know what that meant. So she decided to say the same, "I don't exactly know what Habitum means professor!" But then she decided to at least guess it, she continued, "But I think it means 'to have or to hold'" Atleast she had tried, right? That was important! |
She did it! She actually managed to turn the paper into a picture frame! It took her six tries, but she did it. Although, it still could use some work. The frame was a dark brown wood with a simple leafy vine pattern, just like she imagined it, not bad for a first year. Maybe transfiguration would turn out to be one of her better subjects. Silvia looked up to the front when the professor called their attention. She raised her hand. "I think it's in Latin, though I don't know what it means. But statua sounds a lot like statue." |
Tom and Kurumi too xD Text Cut: Lewis xD Was she okay? Her lips formed into a pout as they usually did when she started to think about anything. "I think I'll be fine" She wasn't exactly alright just yet, but she knew she would be in the end."...eventually" she added because it did feel like it was going to take her a while to recover. "I owe you big time" She honestly did, because he had after all saved her and so did Kurumi. "Actually I owe you both big time." she nodded at the two, she'd have to find some way to repay them.Now where were her manners. "Anyway I'm Nessie" she said and then turned to the older boy whom she hadn't met yet. Text Cut: Magnus xD Pronounciation? Yeah that was definitely the problem in most situations, especially hers even though she didn't mean to pronounce the word wrong. She may have not been able to cast another spell just yet, but talking and answering she could do. She raised her hand "Professor, isn't it Latin?" most spell incarnations were right? Feeling some eyes on her, Nessie turned a little and saw Tom. She gave him a little grin and then looked at the piece of paper on the floor once more. She was afraid to pick it up and so instead she climbed back into her seat and took a few moments to relax herself. |
After having listened to the Professor talk, Gwen nodded. She actually felt relieved that the square shouldn’t be absolutely perfect. That isn’t so hard, after all…, the Ravenclaw thought. But I’ll definitely manage to do a better one, she told herself and remembered the last picture frame she made, which was rather plain. Hmm… another queation- let’s see… ‘Latin, of course’, Gwen began saying. All the spells and charms had incantations in Latin, so why would this one make an exception? ‘Statua could be image… or statue... and habitum’, the third year said, and, after making a short break she added: ‘To have?’ Habitum- Habitus- havitus- Have… It made perfect sense to Gwendolyn… |
Leaning forward in her chair, wand weaving slowly between her fingers in a circular motion, she focused on the spell. She hadn't taken out her picture because she didn't need the added distraction, though it probably wouldn't be much of one. Not anymore, and no more that the students were. The wand movement was simple enough, and didn't require her to practice, but she did repeat the incantation a few times. "Stat-UA HAB-itum... Statua Habitum..." When she was comfortable with the incantation, she carefully outlined the paper's square shape with her wand, "Statua Habitum." Her paper fluttered some before transforming into a thin silver frame. While it was bigger than it's original form, the frame was... thinner than what she was originally got for. Arya wordlessly reverted it, brown eyes flicking up to the Professor. More incantation questions, huh? She assumed the same as the rest of the class, that or ancient Greek, and so left them to continue guessing as she went on with her practicing. |
Transfiguration was one of the classes Ariadne genuinely enjoyed, ever since she had practised with Kurumi. This assignment was really interesting, so the girl did her best, being quite quick in nailing the wand movement. The incantation was pretty tricky, but that helped her with the next question: the girl knew she had problems with pronunciation of Latin words, so that must mean only one thing-the incantation was in Latin! 'I think it's Latin, I remember reading somewhere that habere is the verb to have, and statua...sounds a lot like statue or state.' the third year Gryffindor replied. |
Vlimia had been practicing Statua Habitum, and she had gotten it on her ninth try. Well, that wasn't entirely true. She had gotten a frame that she wasn't entirely happy with on her third try, so she tried until she got a nicer one. Call her a perfectionist, but Vlimia was content with the lovely frame on her desk. But now the proffesor was asking them to stop practising and talk about the spell's actual meaning. Most spells were in Latin... Vlim raised her hand politely, and when she was called on, said "Well, statua could mean statue," But what did that have to do with a picture frame? "Or maybe set up, or stood up?" Because photo frames had that thing at the back that made them stand up, right? "And Habitum might mean inside. Or even to have." Vlimia concluded, because habitum sounded like inhabit, and that meant to live in or to be inside. And have... started with the same letter. Vlim also had a little hunch that it was have. |
Pam looked on the board, worried that she wouldn't be able to do it. She took a deep breath, and looked down at her paper, and then her wand. Before trying anything, she decided it would be a good idea to start by practicing the incatation. "S-AT-ua HA-bitum. Sat-UA HAbitum." Once Pam was satisfied, she took out her wand, and tried it. She pronounced it correctly, and made the square movement with her wand over the paper. She didn't think it was going to work, until the paper successfully turned into a golden frame. Upon further inspection, it was a little bronze-y, but she was satisfied. Then the teacher spoke up. She thought for a minute. "Isn't it Latin?" It sounded a bit Latin at least. |

SPOILER!!: Professor Magnus Jezzabelle smiled. "I'm just trying not to let anyone done." She never really had anyone to try and prove things to. "And Kurumi is proving to be more right than anyone I have ever met." If it wasn't for the older girl though she'd be a lot more stressed than usual. "I'll just try again later." Maybe after relaxing and getting rid of her stress she'll feel better. "Statua Habitum is Latin and it means the habit of status," Jezzabelle said raising her. Though she wasn't sure as to how that pertained to what the incantation did. |
“Isn’t it Latin?” Victoria took an educated guess. Because most of the time, the spells are from Latin. Other than that simple knowledge, she doesn’t know anything else more about it. |

She then heard the question that Professor Magnus had asked. Sophie listened as the other students were giving their answers, then raised her hand. "Couldn't 'Habitum' be 'habitat', professor?" |
SPOILER!!: Professor!! "I'm fine!" She breathed. Getting her wand and returning to her desk with a red face. She continued practising. This time, she was going to think really hard! "Stat-UA HAB-itum!" She said strongly, picturing her photo frame clearly in her head. Her piece of paper darkened and hardened, taking on a wooden sort of colour then the Professor spoke. The badger lost her concentration and her piece of paper lay on the desk; a square piece of wood. Not a photo frame like she was trying for. She honestly had no idea how to answer the question. She bit her lip and thought. Nope, no idea. Wait, yes! She had an idea! She raised her hand, "Is it Italian? Statua mean statue, right?" Quote:

Listening to the professor again, Louisa squinted her eyes at the board and nodded to herself, affirming that she was saying it right. However, just to make sure she recited, "Statua Habitum.. Statua Habitum.. Statua Habitum.. Statua Habitum.." Over and over again. Then she grabbed her wand and absently traced an imaginary square without saying the incantation. Emptying the desk from everything except for the paper, just in case her spell went horribly wrong. Clearing her throat, she started tracing the imaginary square, "Statua Habitum." The paper turned from white to grey. Simply like this. Furrowing her eyebrows at the paper, she held it and flipped it over several times. "Okay.. that is not a frame." Not at all. With a sigh, she murmured, "Reverto." And the paper was back to it natural color. Clearing her throat, which seemed to be the hundredth time, Louisa spoke loudly, "Statua Habitum!" Tracing the square on the paper aaaaaand VOILA! A proud smile made its way on the girl's face almost immediately as she put down her wand and held the newly framed paper in her hands. "It's beautiful." Yep, she liked it. When the professor asked the question, though, Louisa had to put down her masterpiece and ponder over the answer. She wasn't really the brightest in word roots and those stuff, so she just listened to what the others had to say. |
