The classroom is the same as it always is with professor Bellaire, bright crisp clean air because her classes are always early in the morning and complete immaculate classroom. There is also almost always an unnerving quiet as you walk in. Only this morning..there is a shuffling sound coming from a large box at the front of the classroom and professor Bellaire is standing a little bit away wearing protective gloves and a scorned look on her face.
You know the drill..get in and stand by your seats, class will begin shortly.
Yuck? In all honesty, Angeal wasn't a huge fun of fluffy animals as well. He was more of a dragon fan, but he can't deny when something was cute like bunnies and especially pygmy puffs. His eyes twitched when the teacher performed the Full Body-Bind Curse on the hopping creature, but he understood. He would've probably done the same if he was in her position.
He went to pick a rabbit when Professor Bellaire mentioned the reason why she intended to give the transfigured hat to Professor Botros. Angeal snorted, trying to refrain from breaking into laughter as he returned to his place.
"Now class...yuck....this is a rabbit...it's not as disgusting as a pygmy puff but it's similar. Watch as I demonstrate the proper way to perform the spell." She put the rabbit on the desk and made a face as it started hopping around. "Petrificus Totalus." The rabbit froze in spot. "Now you don't have to petrify the rabbit, but I don't want the rodent hopping all over my desk..feel free to use it though if you want. Lepus Caput." She did the want movement and watched as the rabbit transfigured into a hat." This one is for Professor Botros, can't have the old man hairless as he is freezing to death at our school can we?..we have enough ghost....right..so everyone come and get a rabbit."
Sarah was hard at work at her notes. She had them done in such a way that it would be easier to learn for OWLs. So now this rabbit trick.. were they making another circus this year?
Sarah made her way over to the front, and carefully reached furth to get a rabbit. It squirmed in her hands a bit.. yet Sarah was not ready to preform a spell on it. That would be cruel. Her school had rabbits, and Sarah got to take one home over the weekend. Fed it carrots.
She went back to her desk and while she waited for the class to continue, she stroked the fur.

Benzi watched closely as the teacher performed the spell. Simple. Easy, even. Benzi was confident. This was Transfiguration. He HAD to be good at it.
Standing from his seat at the front of the classroom, Benzi shuffled behind others as he went to grab a rabbit, trying not to stroke it too much as he sat back down again, instead choosing to pat its head so that it wouldn't just hop away.
A question suddenly occurred to him, and he bit his lip. Mummy would be able to answer this question, surely. But she wasn't here. She'd probably want him to ask this rabbit hating teacher instead of her. So he raised his hand.
"Professor, what does it feel like to be transfigured?"

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi watched as Professor Bellaire handled the rabbit. He hardly believe she was wearing a glove to hold it. Hold up! Did she just call it a rodent? Okay maybe it did belong to the rodent family, he didn't know, but come on! The rabbit was so cute and cuddly! He shook his head.
Now, the first year focused as the woman demonstrated the spell. Wow! That was so cool! But the poor rabbit...He felt sorry for it. And now they were going to have to do the same! Ugh!
Feeling slightly reluctant, Adi got up and followed the others to collect a rabbit. He gently grabbed the first one he saw, a nice fluffy one. He returned to his seat and set it down on his desk, not caring if it hopped all over.
Huh. A top hat with twitching rabbit ears actually would be pretty cool, if done intentionally. Which... Sophie would totally do. But there was still that whole factor of feeling like Bellaire might turn on her at any moment for something like sneezing and disrupting the class that kept her from seeing it as something to achieve. Maybe outside of class.
Sophie tried not to frown at the older Slytherin girl who got talked down to about Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration. That... sounded vaguely familiar from her textbook - it had been one of only two textbooks she managed to skim all the way through before school started - but she didn't remember what it had said. Whoops. She was glad she hadn't gotten picked on for that one.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! A BUNNY! ...Wait, not as disgusting as a pygmy puff?!?! WHAT? Pygmy puffs weren't gross! How dare she insult her baby Jazz! The Ravenclaw frowned when the professor froze the bunny, already feeling regretful toward the poor thing and the one SHE was going to have to transfigure. Poor little cutiepies.
...What? Sophie shot a nervous look at Mo. Botros was going to freeze to death? Why? It didn't seem THAT cold outside yet. Did she have something out for the old guy? Whatever the case, Sophie's eyes narrowed at the professor's comments. She was just rude and inconsiderate in general, wasn't she? Ugh. Not making eye contact with the woman, the first year retrieved a furry, cuddly bunny and returned to her seat as quickly as possible and already found herself hoping class would be over sooner rather than later so she could get AWAY from this professor. She held the rabbit close to her and slouched over so she could nuzzle it gently with her chin.
Oh, the third year old was really, really relieved that the animals weren’t in pain when she used the spell on the because… If she would have hurt them she didn’t wanted to use the spell on the poor and cute little rabbits! But… WHY had asked Forrest the same question as she had? She didn’t had heard him speak, maybe she had been too distracted by the poor little rabbits to notice him while he had spoke, but… Pff, Forrest was stupid so she didn’t wanted to do the same things as he was doing! Okay, she didn’t hated him like before, BUT... She didn’t wanted to do the same things as he did! She was MUCH better than he, and prettier of course…
“OHHHH! He is so cute!” whispered Sonea silent while she watched how the professor took a cute little rabbit out of the box! But… why was the professor acting as if the rabbit was disgusting? The rabbit was soooooo cute! But… OH! Why was the professor so mean for that cute little rabbit?! She stared at the professor and decided that she didn’t liked her, she was a mean, MEAN professor who hated cute little rabbits and used a spell to petrify the cute little rabbit! That was really mean...
When she had showed them how to use the spell she stood up and took one of the cute little rabbits. She had a LOVELY little rabbit and she smiled. “I call you Sweetie because you are really sweet” whispered Sonea to her rabbit while she walked back toward her desk.

Caleb was happy that his beloved Beans was spared the transfiguration spell, but bunnies? Caleb loved animals and wasn't sure if could do that to a cute little BUNNY! But then he remembered that the professor knew what she was doing - she wouldn't submit them to animal cruelty! It HAD to be safe. She wouldn't let them do it if it wasn't safe.
So he went up, selected one of the fluffy white rabbits, and brought it back to his desk. Aww, the poor fellow was scared. Caleb didn't blame it. He was sure this wasn't the first time they'd been used as guinea pigs.
LOL rabbits as guinea pigs. How ironic.

She had his attention. Cutty watched as Professor Bellaire petrified the bunny. Petrificus Totalus. He committed that to memory and tried to mimic her wand movements silently to himself. He wormed his way to the bunny box and watched as most of the students drew theirs out gently. There must have been a waaay to do it. Looking down into box, Cutty put both of his hands in and plucked up the fluffy, skiddish creature by the middle and it immediately began to squirm and kick. He held out the rabbit away from his body speed walking back to his desk where he took a seat and held the rabbit down with his hands, deciding that Petrificus Totalus might have been more advanced if Istvan wasn't even attempting it, though he was having a similar issue with his bunny.
Jacques couldn't understand why professor Bellaire was so against the rabbit. She didn't seem afraid of the thing so it must've been that she wasn't a very soft woman. Anyone could dislike something yet treat it with respect and even a little care. The woman petrified the terrified bunny. She was cold he decided. He didn't mind but that characteristic wasn't something he liked in women. Even though he couldn't reciprocate certain things -not properly- he liked the idea of being normal with a woman.
He stood and orderly made his way to the box to take a bunny. He didn't take his time to select because he thought he was already taking his own sweet time and he didn't particularly want anyone to get annoyed with him. Then there'd be a scene then there'd be unsolicited attention.
No.
He selected quickly and holding the shaking animal to his stomach walked back to his seat petting it gently. Animals took to him, most animals at least. He didn't seem to have a good grasp on cats.
Tobias felt his lower lip wibble at the news that they would be turning RABBITS into hats. He quickly sucked his lip back in, however, and stood and walked to the front of the room to retrieve one. He wasn't sure what was wrong with him, or why this made him so sad. Professor Bellaire had SAID that the rabbits wouldn't be harmed, and he didn't have any reason to disbelieve her. Perhaps it was the idea that they would be forced to be still for as long as the caster decided, and that could be FOREVER. To be honest, the possibility of being forced to keep still for any length of time scared Toby almost as much as dementors did, so he felt awful that he had to do it to a rabbit.
After he picked a rabbit from the box, vaguely worrying about the fur that would be left on his clothes, and feeling thankful that he didn't have an Astronomy lesson after this, Tobias went back to his desk, holding his rabbit in his arms and sort of snuggling it carefully, so as to sort of reassure it.
He stroked the rabbit's head and suuuuuuuuuper soft ears and watched its twitchy nose as it looked around.
Toby decided right then that he loved the bunny.

The look on the professor’s face was obvious that she didn’t like bunnies. I hope this was not animal cruelty. Petra rolled her eyes got up and walked to the front and picked up a bunny. The bunny was squirming to get away and who could blame it, the other bunny was sitting as a hat on the desk. Petra went to her seat and sat down petting the bunny. “Professor how long do the objects stay transfigured? And can this transfiguration work on humans or just small animals? “ Petra continued to pet the bunny, she was not ready just yet to turn it into a hat.
Kace didn't like the way the rabbit reacted to being petrified. He never really liked experimenting on animals. But if this is what he's gotta do for the lesson then this is what he's gotta do. He went up to the front of the classroom and asked a question to the professor.....
"Professor would the rabbit get hurt being petrified? I really don't wanna harm him"

They finally could see the bunnies. Bunnies were cuute! Cassia approved of that very much, and so did Lex obviously. Cassia smiled at her mutely. Look at them, not being allowed to talk, how cruel. Could they survive like that. They'll see. She had her quill in her hand still but wasn't scribbling anything. She didn't need to write down that Pygmy puffs were disgusting. She had the feeling that all the firsties would remember that and repeat it ages to come. Besides, opinions yeah?
And ouch..poor bunny. That must have not been pleasant. She wasn't intending on stunning it.
Once Professor Bellair was done, Cassia followed Lex to the box and examined the cute bunnies. She took her time choosing one that when she finally picked one up, she saw that Lex was already seated.
The snake slid back into her seat as she stroke the bunny's fur. So adorable!

Claudette always found the idea of animal transfiguration to be somewhat odd.. though she did suppose it could be useful. Like making an angora hat. She stared longingly at the fashionable hat after Bellaire transfigured the rabbit. And honestly, how else would you get a fine, fur item without transfiguration? She wouldn't want to hurt the poor creature just for fashion.
The 16 year old got up from her seat and selected one of the rabbits from the box, reaching in to pick it up. It squirmed in her arms for a moment, settling down quickly as she petted it and began cooing at it. What a good little rabbit. She carried it back to her desk, setting it down on the top of it as she took her seat. It was a fairly docile thing so she felt no need to cast any spells, deciding to simply wait till they were to begin.

Marigold liked bunnies. She liked their fluff. She could remember a certain incident last year, with a fellow ice cream crazed puff{HeyJu}, trying to feed her bunny ice cream. She giggled slightly as she went up to the bunnies, selecting one with a fluffy brownish coat.

Mo actually kind of sort of thought he might have a panic attack at the sight of Bellaire holding up that poor rabbit with a look of disdain and disgust. Like... that wasn't how you HELD a rabbit, and the poor thing could tell she didn't like him, and was it a moral quagmire to turn living creatures into inanimate objects?
He'd have to read up on it, because it seemed cruel. It was totally against their will. And rabbits did have will, because Titus the ninja bunny often let Mo know that he disapproved of capes and tap shoes by biting him. All will.
Still, Mo found himself grabbing a rabbit and cradling it against his chest as he returned to his desk. Ugh. "Professor, is there a way to practice this spell on something that doesn't have a face?"

Profesor Bellaire, permitted herself to run her hand over the top of the hat. So very soft mhm. Rabbits were a lot more tolerable as hats.
Ah questions.
"Students." There was an exasperated sigh. "This spell doesn't cause any pain to the rabbits, neither does petrifying it. In fact when they're transfigured they'll have no idea they're even transfigured so just get a move on. And like I said earlier the spell last until you reverse it"
She stood before her next. "If you've all collected a rabbit from the box, you may go ahead and start. I don't want any fooling around in my class either, if you're successful with the spell, get another rabbit and keep practicing."
ooc: Have fun be creative, the more post and the more creative you are the more points you get. Try not to almost kill off any characters..also no rabbits were harmed in the organizing of this class.

Oh goody! The rabbit will be just fine then! Though Adi wasn't sure he'd rather a hat over it. Nope. He'd rather have the rabbit as itself. Sighing, he picked up his wand as well as the rabbit which was almost at the edge of his desk. He replaced it in the middle, glanced at his notes. Better practice the incantation first, right?
''Lepus Caput, Lepus Caput, Lepus Caput, Lepus Caput,'' the elven year old muttered, watching the rabbit slowly hop over to the edge of his desk once more. "Uh uh. I don't think so.'' He gently grasped the rabbit and set it in front of him. Right. The wand movement was simple. Much like an upside down U. Time to try it out!
''Lepus Caput!'' Adi said moving his wand in the upside down U.

Rabbits were pests anyways so West had no qualms about the task ahead, even if he was sitting there stroking the bunny that he'd grabbed. So that it trusted him and such. And it apparently did since it wasn't fussing and hadn't pooped on him or anything.
Lepus Caput?
West repeated it and eyed the bunny. "Lepus Caput." No wand yet. "Lepus Caput." Easy enough to say. He got his wand out and with one hand put the rabbit on his desk. It flopped around a bit but otherwise seemed content to stay put. Still, West thought that it was a good idea to make sure it didn't get any ideas and run off, so he cast Petrificus Totalus on the rabbit, watching as it stiffened and froze.
Right. Now to make it a hat yes? He stared at the rabbit, trying to picture how his hat would look. Focus was key.

Well, no, Lottie wasn't exactly a rabbit person herself, but the way Bellaire talked about rabbits... well, if you don't like them why bring them? Yeah? Logic. Pygmy puffs, though. Lottie just STARED and hoped she'd brought Mags because she was positive her pygmy puff would bite the Professor if instructed to do so.
It was Botros' sentence that got her to BLINK. So many wrong things in such little time!
Also, like, why would she want to make a HAT? And using a rabbit for it? This woman was... yeah, we'll keep an eye on you from now on. Airey would be scared of her, right? Probably. It didn't matter if she said the rabbit won't be feeling anything because HOW did she know, right? RIGHT? In her mind, Lottie was merely thinking of her pets so... she didn't want to do this... REALLY NOT... yet she still took the rabbit. For show.
"Lepus Caput." Right. She wasn't using her wand right now, though. Just saying the spell. And the wand movement? Noted. Only Lottie didn't seem to be very interested in trying it, she seemed more interested in calming down the rabbit.
Where did Bellaire get the rabbits from? And where were they going after the lesson?

Throughout since the start of the lesson, after having been seated down and dully taking notes on the new transfiguration spell they were learning. Wade furrowed his brows blinking at the.. unique.. handling of the rabbit, guess Professor Bellaire wasn't a fan of rabbits.. or many animals, after hearing about the pygmy puffs. Hm. Oh wells, it was pretty cool to know it.
Wade already had his rabbit safely cradled in his arms like a newborn baby, since it was good practice before he got to handle his upcoming siblings in the summer. There was no rush in using the spell right away, since he like any other new spell needed to get use to the pronunciation so he could say it clearly. "Leh-pus Cah-put."..*pets the rabbit* "Lepus Cah-put."... *pets some more* Lepus Caput." Not difficult at all.
So, Wade last gently placed the rabbit on his desk before taking his wand out. He didn't feel like petrifying it, instead he continually pet it gently, trying to keep it stationary and relaxed, with no urge to hop away. As soon as it was relaxed, then he could make it into a nice hat.
Tobias continued to carefully stroke the rabbits soft soft head, and watching his snuffling nose. Ugh, so cute. Why WHYYYYYY DID HE HAVE TO TURN IT INTO A HAT?
One thing Tobias had succeeded in not doing, however, was naming the bunny. Boy, he'd made that mistake before.
But stiiiiiill.
Okay, so first things first, practice the incantation, without the wand.
Lepus Caput... rabbit head... hehe. Was he the only one who found that funny? Yes? Okay, fine.
"Lepus Caput..." Tobias said to himself, staring at the rabbit, imagining it becoming a top hat. He didn't know what angora was, but he knew what a top hat looked like so it shouldn't be too difficult. "Lepus Caput."
The more he thought about it, the more Tobias thought that maybe it wasn't so bad. The rabbit was sentient now, but that would stop when it was a hat. But... if it stayed a hat forever, wouldn't that be exactly like killing it? Hmm... negative thought. Best to not think about it. Tobias preferred to think that the spell would, eventually, be lifted by Professor Bellaire, if not himself. Y'know. On the sly.
"Lepus Caput."
Okay, he'd got the incantation. It wasn't really that hard. Now onto the wand movement.
After another little snuggle with Terry, he picked up his wand to try that without the incantation.
Wait.
...
He'd only gone and named it.

Yeah, Kat sure hope it didn't hurt the rabbits. That was because she had a heart, even if she was a Slytherin. But seeing Professor Bellaire demonstrating it earlier in front of the class, though, Kat was assured that it wouldn't hurt the rabbit. It didn't even seem to know that it was transfigured into a hat. Oh well, it was an interesting spell to learn so Kat was up for this.
Lepus Caput. Yeah. And the upside down U wand movement? That was easy enough.
If she broke Lepus Caput down into two words, it would mean rabbit (or hare) and head. Kat... didn't know how she knew, but she totally made a guess based on the effect of the spell. She did the same with the previous spells in classes, so that it could be easier to know what the spell would be able to do. But anyway, practice was supposed to happen now. "Lepus Caput.... Lepus Caput..." Yeah, that was a bit easy to say.
The hand movement, she'd have to try that for a bit too.

So, the Professor claimed that it didn't hurt any rabbit.
Hmm. HMM. Forrest debated whether or not to believe her. He decided to. She was a professor, after all. She ought to be honest. If not, if was her shame.
He got up and grabbed a cute, totally black rabbit. He returned to his seat and petted the animal while holding it close to his heart. He wanted it--Robbie--to see he wasn't going to hurt him! (He didn't know whether Robbie was a boy or a girl, but he assumed.) After a minute of cooing and petting to make sure he delivered his promise of peace thoroughly, he gently put it on the table to get his wand from his bag. Robbie seemed to have understood his message, because he didn't try to run away. Forrest wanted to make sure he REALLY got it right though, so he spent the first minute with practising the word, and the second with practising the wand movement.
Rabbit. Robbie.
Daddy Forrest's gonna take good care of ya even though you'll be a hat.
Bunny rabbits! How fun was that? Well, Sophie thought it was fun because she already knew the bunnies wouldn't be harmed. It was Transfiguration, after all! They all had done tons of Transfiguration on other animals and well... none of them died or anything, right? It was all good! AND! Sophie had her own bunny rabbit, and she could practise all she wanted!
Though she'd never wear her own pet, of course. Not that nice to keep it as a hat for a long time, was it? Not in her opinion, at least. But she had to admit it was a useful spell, yep!
Sitting back down after she got a rabbit from the box, Sophie tried to hold it with one hand as she unpocketed her wand. Having Brady as a pet for over 3 years now made Sophie develop some bunny handling skills, heh! Well... kind of. At least she was able to hold it still with one hand; no need to petrify it!
What was the spell again? She looked up to the board and read it out loud. "Lepus Caput." The Hufflepuff said without doing any movement with her wand. She was first going to get the incantation right. "Lepus." Hah, funny word. "Lepus Caput. Lepus... Caput. Lepus." Lepus. Hehehe!
