Transfiguration Lesson 2 The usual classical music is playing in the classroom, and it can be heard floating down the corridor. The door of the Transfiguration classroom is wide open, so come on in. Professor B/York, whatever you call her, is leaning against her desk eating from a small bowl of lollies. No, you can’t have any. The desks are arranged in the usual circle, with the same one reserved for Professor York. There is, however, no box of musical instruments. INSTEAD, on top of each desk is a random instrument, AND a small bowl of assorted lollies. Come on in, say hello, chose your seat/instrument, and explore your small bowl of lollies. What did YOU get? Class Progression: Post 1 Post 2 Post 3/Activity 1 Post 4/Activity 2 Post 5/Activity 3 OOC: Class has officially started! Just have your charrie pretend they've been here all along, unless you want IC punishments. |
Bentley was early. That was because his parents..specifically his grandmother told him that he should always be on time. No professor liked late bugs. What was even more fun was that this was his very best subject. Of course he had loads of help on it. The eager first year poked his head in, then his whole body followed as he found a desk to the front. "Good day Professor." Cool...a flute. |
The strains of music she could hear from outside the classroom put an easy smile on Norah's face. Her face lit up further upon entering the room and seeing LOLLIES! 'Helllloooooo professor!" It was such a lovely day, wasn't it? The lollies were just icing on the cake. Y'know, they should really start offering cake for breakfast here. Maybe she could ask the house elves sometime. She looked for the box of instruments where she'd pick out her usual harmonica, but it wasn't there. Opening her mouth to ask Professor York where they'd gone, she closed it again quickly 'cause look at that. Right in front of her face. Instruments on each desk. Heh. Okay. Norah figured it was a good day to go a little bit outside of what she normally did, so she chose a desk with an accordion on it instead of a harmonica, which she inspected thoroughly before moving on to the bowl of lollies. OH YEAH. Professor York seemed like she'd appreciate cake for breakfast, too. That was an admirable trait in anybody. |
He had his favourite subjects, and transfiguration wasn't one of them... but as far as lessons went, a lesson where one received a bowl of lollies was usually a good one. "Hello, Professor York," he greeted, entering and finding himself a spot along the circular row thing. Oh lookit! A triangle! He recalled "music lessons" from first grade, where everyone had fought over the use of the triangle or the xylophone. For one, he got the triangle. Neat. And LOLLLIES. Could he eat them? Were those jelly beans? Or Betie Botts? Either way, he took one and stuffed it in his mouth. |
A little early. It was better then late her father always told her. As she made her way down the corridor the quiet sound of music instantly had her grinning. Music. The way to her heart. Slipping quietly into the room the first thing she noticed was the instruments on each desk. That was odd. They wouldn't be getting to choose today? She nearly frowned before shaking her head at herself and waving at her fellow mates that were already there. "Hello Professor, how are you today?" It was a lovely day, wasn't it? And music made it even better. Selecting her usual seat she slid down onto the chair setting her bag near her feet. Awesomeness! A small drum was set in the center of her desk, no drum sticks of course since this was meant to be hit with her hands but that was all good. Hady cast a fast glance at the Professor. Had this been placed here intentionally? Who knew she could play besides Maxon? Oh well that didn't stop her from grinning. Oh sweet heavens lollies too! She pulled the small bowl over inspecting the flavors inside, her eyes shinning when they fell upon one. The green one. Green apple to be exact. Her most favorite ever! Now. Her. Day. Was. Officially. Complete. |
She didn't want to be late for transfiguration class because 1. She enjoyed the lesson and 2. Professor B is such a cool professor. After she had some meal, the young lioness rushed to the classroom. Was she late? Was she late? Oh, hopefully she's not late! And....... She wasn't late. Thank Merlin! "Hello, Professor B." Ava grinned to the white-haired lady Professor and tried not to laugh. Why? Because she still remembered her expression when she had to eat the gingerbread men with the toothpaste frosting that she'd put. Hehehehe. Walking to a desk, there's a bowl of small lollies on each desk. Could she take two? She just grabbed one and put it on her pocket. And cymbal too of course. BANG! |
Transfiguration had turned into one of his favorite subjects over the course of the term and not simply because of the change in professors. His lessons with Professor York had continued on and now he was more into his animangus training. That didn't mean Benny liked the regular transfiguration classes any less, though he was still dealing with the whole singing/instrument to get attention from the professor and class. He wasn't exactly one who liked calling attention to himself. As he walked into the classroom the circle of desks was still there like before. "Hello Professor York," he greeted with a small smile as he moved to find a desk to sit at. A drum was doable, though he'd save interest in the lollies for later. Perhaps there was a sour one in there somewhere. |

Uhhhh....why was there a harmonica on his desk?.......It hadn't been one of the instruments they learned at the Academy....he didn't have to play it, did he? "Morning Professor." He mumbled, picking up a lolly and turning it over a few times. watermelon flavoured by the looks of it. Brown eyes drifted over to his cousin's stash. "Trade you this one for a blueberry." He liked those better. Also, someone remind him why his cousin insisted on them being EARLY for this lesson. |
Adi's head bobbed in time with the music as approached the classroom. Classical music had grown on him thanks to one Beatrice York. Speaking of the woman... Adi grinned as he entered the room. "Hi, Professor Bee!'' Hehe. See? He had found a new nickname for her. Bzzzz. His friends including Zeke, Ava and Hades got waves. Ohh, look at all the lollies. And there were on each desk apparently. Along with an instrument. An instrument wasn't really needed by him since he would usually sing when he needed to get Beatrice's attention. The Hufflepuff bounded off to a seat next to Benny, his hand already digging through the bowl of lollies. "Hi, Dragon!'' SWEETS RULED! |
Transfiguration. It was a weird class now that Bellaire wasn't teaching it because now Zander was sure that he sort of actually liked it now? Which was weird. Plenty weird. It was weird to actually sort of like transfiguration. But it was mostly weird that they had to pick out musical instruments. "Hi Professor," he greeted her as he made his way inside looking for-- Oh. They were on the desks today? Interesting. Yeah, Zander just walked over near his usual spot and sat down. Er.... A harmonica? How the heck does this thing even work? Weird. Transfiguration was so weird this year. And that was the proper way to sum it up. Clearly. |
If at first you don't succeed, try again. It was on this principle that Reagan continued to muster up the courage to participate in Transfiguration lessons. And while her skill was slowly getting somewhat better, she still struggled in most areas of the subject. Professor York was helping, however. She made Rea feel very comfortable and non-judged for her ineptitude. It made all the difference, really. So, prancing into the classroom, a huge, warm, beaming smile firmly fitted across the Ravenclaw's face. And it just like with every Transfiguration class, as Rea prepared to sing her greeting..."Prooofessooor Yoooork, hello!" ...and yea, it wasn't sang all that well...but she triiiiied! |

Which didn't seem like much fun to him but to each his own. Ben nodded at his cousin's request and took the jar off his desk then emptied it into his own. He then proceeded to shake the jar around mixing the flavours. After which, the first years shaked half of the content into the other jar. "There. You're welcome." |
He was here he was here! Of course he was here. It was Transfiguration and there was Professor B and Owen was looking was looking forward to what they will be learning today. Yup, yup! "Gooood day, Professor B maa'm!" He tried to sing that greeting but it seemed like today wasn't such a good day for his vocals. Off-key, but tolerable. Oh, and one more thing he always looked forward to Transfiguration lessons were the treats. Lollies! Also, maracas on his desk. Hmmm... The others had instruments too. Hmm indeed. |
Caleb was totally confused. As usual. Couldn't they ever just have NORMAL lessons around here?? Apparently all the seats were up for grabs, so Caleb took a seat at his normal desk, which had a...triangle on it? Hmm. Interesting. At least it was something Caleb knew he could play. OH AND LOLLIES. "Hey Professor," he said with a smile before digging into his bowl of lollies and picking out a light blue one. Would it be cotton candy or blueberry flavor?? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT! |
Time for a Transfiguration lesson. As he made his way to the classroom, he saw other students beat him to it. Well he did have a great breakfast so he wasn't gonna pass that up. As he entered the room, he heard music he didn't really like. He wasn't a fan of classical music. He would just tune it out though. He saw the professor in the front of the room and he waved to her. "Hello Professor! Thanks for the lollies.." he nodded his head toward the assortment. When he sat down he began to go through his assorted bowl and wondered which flavor he was gonna eat. |
Yoongi had heard the classical music playing in the classroom even as he turned the corner of the sixth floor corridor. It was quiet pleasing to hear though he preferred another style of music. The Gryffindor entered the transfiguration classroom, nodded at the Professor eating from a small bowl of lollies and walked further to find a seat. Finding his trusted triangle, Yoongi placed his bag on the ground beside his desk and sat down. He eyed the bowl of lollies. Not that he was on a diet or anything but he had been working out for some months now and he was so used to not eating candy that he wasn’t even craving for it anymore. Not wanting to tempt himself, Yoongi pushed the bowl of lollies to the edge of the desk and placed his textbook upright on the table so that he couldn’t see it. |
One lesson Dante enjoyed going to. Though the classical music playing he did not enjoy that much. Still it not like you can hate classical music like you hate country music. It was at least good. "Hey Professor York" Again with the circle. Did they do this so students could not sit in the back away from the kids who liked to talk a lot because farthest away from them the happier Dante was. And why in merlin's saggy left....did he have an oboe on his desk. Though the candy was a plus. |
Gwen was actually on time. No, she wasn't. She was early! This had never happened before. And, there was CANDY! She reached for a chocolate covered Droobles Best Blowing Gum pop. Those were always the best. And which instrument would she take? Hmm, not the violin, she'd had bad experiences with one; not the recorder, those were terrible....maybe the guitar. Gwen was learning to play a little bit, and she loved country music. Excited to know what they would do, she strummed it a few times. Her bright purple hair that she had just dyed stood out, and she was so happy to be in Transfiguration, the class she wanted to learn most. |
Davie always looked forward to He settled into his desk near the front and started absentmindedly playing with the lollies in his bowl, not really paying attention to them. |
The music coming from the classroom was not very suited for dancing. But that did not mean Olly would not try. He moved to the beat as best he could as he walked into the classroom and waved at the professor. "Hi professor! How are you today?" He peered around the circle, carefully thinking through where he would sit. It was unsurprising that he chose to make his way toward Blaise, and another Gryffindor first year he didn't know very well. What was his name? Bradley? Whatever. Oliver grinned at the boys and took his seat. CANDY! He took one of the lollipops out of the bunch and immediately unwrapped it. He hadn't even paused to see what flavor it was. But it tasted like blue raspberry. He'd made a good choice. And there was an instrument, too. That wasn't as exciting, considering he couldn't eat it, but he supposed it was cool. It was a trumpet, which was pretty cool. Not that Olly knew how to play, but it couldn't be too hard to figure it out. All he had to do was blow into it. He would have tried it out right then, but he was distracted by a Gryffindor boy a few seats down from him. Not only was the boy not eating his lollipops, but he had pushed them away. "If you're not going to eat those, I can take them off your hands." He smiled angelically at the boy and kept his gaze on him. He was definitely not kidding about that offer. |
Hoping that she wasn't running late, Paulina made her way to the Transfiguration classroom. "Hello, Professor York!" she said as soon as she had stepped inside. Phew. She still had plenty of time judging by how many empty seats there were. The lack of musical instruments made her pause, but then she saw that one had actually been placed on every desk. Thank Merlin, because Paulina wasn't about to start singing her answers for anyone - not even one of her favourite teachers. Finding a seat, she was pleased to see that she winded up with a small drum. Percussion instruments had always seemed so much fun, but she had never tried out a drum before. Usually she ended up selecting something like a maraca or triangle because they were so simple to use. "Thanks for the lollies!" Because it was always polite to thank someone for giving you a treat. |
oliver~ Placing his elbows on the desk and his chin in his hands, Yoongi watched the others in silence. A lot were already eating their candies while a few were checking out the instrument on their desk. He looked over at the Professor, wondering when she was going to stop eating and begin class. He also resisted the urge to tell her that all this candy was bad for their teeth. He learned from experience that people, magical and muggles alike, did not like that. Turning his attention to a Slytherin student, Yoongi smiled a bit as he gestured to the bowl of lollies. "Help yourself". If he thought he was going to bring them he was sadly mistaken. Kid wanted candy kid had to walk for it~ |
Angel walked into the classroom and smiled at the Professor. "Good day Professor, hope your well." Angel was still happy the Professor hadn't told her off for destroying school property, though it had been fixed in the end. Angel went over to her desk, picked and instrument and then went for the candy before stopping and looking at the Professor. "Is this some sort of test?" Angel didn't want too get in trouble for eating the candy. |
SPOILER!!: Greetings Beatrice stood to her full height, which wasn’t very impressive, to check the corridor and make sure no other students were rushing down to get in. Nope. Good. She closed the door and headed to her seat amongst the students, where a pair of little cymbals sat. She clanged them together, creating a soft clashing noise. And with that, the music stopped. All eyes on her for now? Good. “Hello everyone, welcome to the lesson. Please keep eating your lollies for the first part, and we will pack them away for the activity.” Not even looking at those who HADN’T yet eaten one. “My first question is what do you do to help concentrate before performing a tricky spell, or a new spell? For me, I sometimes do a little stretch, and some vocal exercises before practicing the incantation and the wand movement separately.” Now for their turn. What musical instrument would she hear first? |
Yep, Adi had no problem with continuing his consumption of the lolly. Sweets were goooood. Mhmmmm. Now that the lesson was getting started, the lolly had to share his attention with Beatrice. There was still an eager Puffer to learn here, after all. Too busy with the lolly to sing, Adi played a few notes on the triangle. Had he gotten the Professor's attention? Yes? Goody! "I sometimes think about positive or happy stuff. Like food, music or I imagine myself back at home playing cricket.'' Yeeep! Those were a few of his favourite things and they made him extra haaaappy and positive vibes were always great for spell work in his opinion. |
