| | Transfiguration Lesson 1: Ferret Out the Competition As you step into the Transfiguration classroom on a cold November afternoon, you may notice that the room setup more closely resembles a hockey rink than a classroom. Black lines mark the perimeter of the room, and another line divides the room down the middle. There are no desks today, only long rows of benches behind the perimeter lines on the left and right sides of the room.
The sporty setup isn’t the only thing out of the ordinary, as Professor Carton is nowhere to be seen. Standing in his usual place at the front of the room is a large brown dog. Some observant students may notice the dog’s blue-green eyes and the scar across its forehead. The following message is written on the blackboard behind the dog: Quote: DO NOT PET THE DOG!
Find a seat on the benches and have your supplies ready for the lesson. OOC: Welcome to transfiguration! Please remember that this is not the first IC lesson your charries would’ve had with with Professor Carton, and make sure you’re familiar with the classroom rules and SSRPG rules. Class will begin in ABOUT 24 HOURS has started!. Lesson Progression Question 1: Name a spell or type of transfiguration that involves animals Question 2: When is it useful to transform something or someine into an animal?

| #TeamOrange + mention of Violet + Migalifors at Aboli ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Once again, Claudine was stunned. Her spell actually worked a second time? A smirk replaced her shock as she watched the first year Ravenclaw take a ferret form but her attention was diverted to Violet for a while. It looked like Violet had joined Team Orange as well. “Give your spell a go,’’ she encouraged. Then, of course, she was back at searching for another target after the younger Slytherin got into the action.
The first person who caught her attention happened to be Aboli… who had a tail. This realisation made Claudine snicker a bit as she raised her wand. “Hey, Aboli. Nice tail. Migalifors!’’ An accurate point from her wand sent the coloured light in the older Slytherin’s direction. |

| purple - changing Mamie/Kinsay back + WE'S A FERRET THANKS CLAUDINE A Poop * k8 *
Aboli still had her tail, which she was getting used to, kind of. It would be fun to be able to hit people with it, honestly. The classroom, for now, was organized chaos. Organized being the key word...nothing had currently gotten out of hand, which was good.
She spotted Mamie get hit immediately. Awww. She looked sooo cute. "Reparifarge!" she aimed the spell at her new friend, and right as she was about to cast a spell at someone else, Kinsay James was shrinking into a ferret. She squinted briefly at the girl before sending another reparifarge her way. Satisfied that her spells would do their work and she didn't need to worry about them any longer, she turned to see CLAUDINE AIM A SPELL RIGHT AT HER.
AHHHH.
She was FULLY ferret now, and she quickly darted out of the way of someone's foot, losing her wand in the process. Merlin WHERE WAS IT?! NO ONE BETTER STEP ON IT!
But all that came out her mouth were very high pitched squeaks.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sophia Svensson #556B2F Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Eulalia Walles (#F48037) Hufflepuff Fourth Year | purple + transfiguring Ashley + uhhhh sorry Aboli Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! HUMAN AGAIN! Mamie practically melted at the relief she was no longer fur covered with animal senses. Dull human hearing and smell could work just fine for her.
But no sooner had Mamie realized she was human, than she spotted a ferret where Aboli had been standing. Mamie scooped up ferret!Aboli so the older girl? ferret wouldn't be squashed in the commotion. Oooh, there was her wand, too. Mamie grabbed the wand and tried to shove it into ferret!Aboli's paws. That would work, right? She was pretty sure Aboli had told her she learned all of their spells without the words, too.
Holding ferret!Aboli in one hand and her own wand in another, Mamie pointed her wand at Ashley, who she was preeeetty sure was on the other team. "Migalifors!" she said proudly. She was getting quite good at saying that word. |

| LOL, Aboli xD #TeamOrange + Migalifors at Mamie ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. You know what? Claudine really was enjoying this activity. It seemed that no one wanted to turn her into a ferret. That was fine with her because this meant she was up for doing more damage to Team Purple. Ha. Even better? Her spells were obviously working. Just look at Aboli and listen to her high pitched squeaks! Sorry, Aboli. Nothing against you.
So.
Next target?
Mamie.
This time, the fifth year pictured a brown ferret. “Migalifors!’’ A point of her wand while Mamie was distracted... |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Cameron Rhodes Ravenclaw Third Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Phoebe Calypso [s]Dupont[/s] Slytherin Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Charlie Fox-Matthews Hufflepuff First Year | orange- dodging Mamie's spell Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? Nonononono. No more ferret Ash. Especially since she couldn't be certain that anyone hitting her would be good at the spell. Which was why she was on hyper alert. She ducked Mamie's spell. Nope! Not today, Migalifors. Ash smiled. She was NOT a ferret, and she did NOT sound weird. Nice try, Mamie. |

| sorry MAMIE AND CLAUDINE A Poop * k8 *
WHO THE HELL WAS PICKING HER UP?!?!?!?!?!? She squeaked LOUDLY in protest before realizing it was only Mamie, and the younger girl stupidly, if you asked Abolitried to get Aboli to hold her WAND IN HER PAW???? But the wand merely CLATTERED to the ground. Aboli YELPED in ferret!form and suddenly JUMPED from Mamie's arms, headed RIGHT. FOR. CLAUDINE.
Aboli LEAPT at the Slytherin and CLUNG TO HER leg for dear LIFE. And then, she very MILDLY and SOFTLY BIT HER.
BECAUSE SABOTAGE THY NAME IS ABOLI.
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEE. Take THAT, Claudine! She hadn't bitten hard enough to hurt her or break skin - especially since she had all the robes and stuff going on - BUT MAYBE IT WOULD STUN HER.
In hindsight, she would feel bad. But in the moment, she just wanted to WIN.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sophia Svensson #556B2F Slytherin Fifth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Eulalia Walles (#F48037) Hufflepuff Fourth Year | Purple + hit by Claudine's spell + lol Aboli Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! Mamie was distracted, trying to get a ferret to hold a wand and maybe un-transfiigure itself. She had thought it was a jolly idea. Maybe she put too much stock in Aboli's nonverbal magic abilities and paw dexterity. Aboli the ferret clearly couldn't hold the wand. Mamie was going to pick it back up (for safekeeping) when she felt herself...shrinking?
Mamie shrieked, hugging herself in a useless attempt to stop the transfiguration. She was going full ferret this time. Because Claudine had apparently mastered this spell already. Brown fur covered her formerly human skin, her hair had shrunk away, replaced by fur, and she was fairly certain she could feel her nose...twitching. Ferret!Mamie squealed, her own wand on the ground now too, and ran in circles around the rest of the purple team's feet.
She didn't like being ferret sized, it was kind of scary. |

So when Ashley cast the expected migalifors, Eden just did a little side step out of the way. Better luck next time! Violet was looking at Ashley to judge the success of her 'Reparifarge' spell (good, it worked!) She caught the girl's nod and was still looking at her in time to see Eden step away from her spell. But Eden wasn't looking at Violet just now, so she concentrated on the ferret form and pointed her wand, spoke the incantation, and sent out a burst of orange light toward Eden.

GIRL, WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM!
...is what Eden would have shouted!!! if she wasn't a ferret AGAIN, but she WAS and all that came out was a series of enraged squeaks. Ferret!Eden did her best to wave her ferret!arm with the (now very large) purple band around it at Violet.

Caledon Roth The Leaky Cauldron | Class dismissed! Thanks for coming! ^_^ Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Norman wandered the perimeter, a quill and parchment in hand to tally the scores. His blue-green eyes scanned the room, watching the game intently. Connolly’s misfire at Fox had cost Team Orange 10 points, but he saw the team make a quick comeback. Blaze’s spell had hit a member of the other team (TIlly), and it looked like Fox’s and Kingsley’s spells had partially transfigured Song and Turov, respectively. It was only then that Norman realized that his instructions could possibly be misconstrued. When he said each successful transfiguration or untransfiguration would earn point, he meant each complete transformation, but he supposed one could (and knowing teenagers, most likely would) argue that the spells were technically successful because they did something. He would grant Fox and Kingsley full points for their spells this time.
Norman blinked as he saw Tilly (in ferret form) jump in front of the spell Horton aimed at Fox. Well, that was unexpected and tough luck for Team Orange. Although that transformation couldn’t be blamed on bad aim, the fact remained that untransfiguring an opponent still cost 10 points. Soon Blackthorne had transfigured James and untransfigured Fox. Then Fox cast a spell that Tilly dodged, and Song cast Reparifarge at Turov and James. He saw Turov untransfigured, but before he could see if the other spell successfully untransfigured James, Song was transfigured by Blaze’s spell. Merlin, things were happening so fast!
Furiously scribbling numbers down, Norman looked up just in time to see Fox dodge Tilly’s spell, and did Song (in ferret form) just bite Blaze? Merlin, the lengths some of these kids would go to for 500 words off the homework! Did he even want to know what they’d do to each other if he’d offered house points or some sort of tangible prize? He was so caught off guard by that particular development that he almost missed Turov taking Blaze’s spell, and Tilly was hit, though he missed where that spell came from.
Norman checked his watch. TIme to wrap this up! “TIME’S UP!” he called. “No more spells will be counted.” He paused a moment to give the students time to stop firing at each other and himself time to calculate the final score. Blink, blink. Was that right? He checked the scores over and over again to be sure. With a wave of his wand, he removed the magical barrier around the perimeter and announced, “Team Purple had 1 successful untransfiguration and 0 misfires for a total of 25 points. Team Orange had 5 successful transfigurations, 1 successful untransfiguration and 2 misfires for a total of 130 points. Team Orange wins!”
With a flick of his wand, he opened the door and said, “Your homework is a 1500 word essay weighing the pros and cons of human to animal transformations due Monday. Team Orange, as your reward, you get to cut that word count to 1000 words. Anyone still transfigured, please stay behind to be untransfigured. Otherwise, class dismissed!”
Oh, he almost forgot something! “Anyone who wants to learn Piscifors, come to my office one hour before dinner tonight.” OOC: That’s all, folks! I had to disregard one spell from the final score tally due to confusion over which team the points should be attributed to, but the points from that spell wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the game. In the interest of transparency, the final scores, had that spell counted for Team Orange, would’ve been: (Team Orange: 155 Team Purple: 25). Had it counted for Team Purple, it would’ve been (Team Orange: 130 Team Purple: 15). I’ll leave the thread open for a few more hours for anyone who wants to play their charries being untransfigured and/or leaving.

Spells were firing so fast and furiously that the class had become a sea of confusion. Then Violet heard the teacher end the activity and she halted, lowering her wand and breathing heavily. That was fun! She'd almost forgotten what kind of year this was...just for a few minutes. And her team, Orange, had won!!! Sure, their reward was only that they had to do less homework--which was ironic, since Violet would probably still wind up writing at least 1500 words, if not more--but still. Then her ears pricked up. Quote:
Originally Posted by MadMadamMalfoy “Anyone who wants to learn Piscifors, come to my office one hour before dinner tonight.” Ooooh, a new spell! Violet would definitely try to be there for that. She smoothed down her hair and robes, just to make very sure there were no lingering ferret hairs, checked her hands and body for ferret signs, and then, sighing with relief, gathered up her things and prepared to leave.
