| | |  Transfiguration Lesson One
Professor McAiken enters his classroom and with a wave of his wand lights all the candles and lamps in the room. He walks to front of the room and sets his notes on the desk. He moves around the room taking a short inventory to assure his supplies have arrived and are in place for today's lesson. From one of the jars on shelves he takes a hand full of needles and places them on his desk. Turning toward his chalkboard yet still several feet away he writes on the board using his wand. He writes:- What is Transfiguration?
- How does it different from other spells?
- Practice lesson
Satisfied his room is ready, he checks his watch for the time and decides he has time for tea before class. Locking the door, he heads towards the Staff Lounge. | |

He is please to see the quick take up of the students, epecially the first years who are doing well. He stops at the bookself and wonders if he should go ahead and move to the second object or wait.

Francis smiles as Prof McAiken walks by her. She then looks at her Professor very carefully, awaiting new instructions.

Hermy takes her wand into her hand. Concentrating hard on the incantation she say "convertere" and the pin is now a pill box. She flicks her wand back the other way and the pin is back. "WOW! That is brilliant."

"Conveterte", Beth whispers at the pin. Nothing happens. "Darn." she mutters.
"Converterte." she says again clearly and loudly. The pink begins to transform. She breathes a sigh of relief and takes notes.

Raven wrote down her notes quickly trying to understand the charm that was given. She looked at the board and at the professor as she surveyed the class and helped students. Raven finished her notes and looked at the pin that wasn't transfigurated yet.
She pulled out her wand whispered the incantation as she swished her wand down ward. The pin change instantly and looked over to her left as the first year was having a hard time.
Raven scooted over and whispered. "Hi, my name is Raven. If you need any help I can help you," she added still looking forward.

Beth smiles at Raven gratefully, "Yes, I could use some help." she says smiling, "I'm Beth, second year Hufflepuff."
Raven looks slighty suprised.
"I know I'm small." Beth giggles, "but I was here last year with Jill and Ashley and all the rest of them." she says gesturing towards her fellow Hufflepuffs.
"Anyway," she smiles, "am I doing this right? Conveterte."
The pink stays a pin.
"Darn. I did it before." Beth mutters angrily.

Ashlie sits, switching the box to a pin, back to a box, and back to a pin. SHe had taught herself a lot of Transfiguration when she was younger. | |

Please refer to Rules and Guidelines for Transfiguration for futher details. I think you will find all professors will feel this way. If the classroom is still unlocked then you are not late and you can post like you have been here the whole lesson.

Nikki goes to the desk to grab a pin and then quietly finds a seat in the middle of the classroom. She copies the notes and then tries the spell.
"Conveterte"
The pin quivers and then eventually transfigures into a pill box.
"Wow, never thought I'd get it on my first try."

After taking a pin from the front desk, Birdy came back to her seat and set it on her desk and examined it. After watching the teacher and practicing the incantation under her breath, she raised her wand. "Conveterte" she mumbled. The pin made a deal of squirming and shaking, but Birdy kept eye contact. Finally, it shaped itself into a teal pillbox. Birdy untransfigured it, ready to try again.

Raven looked over at Ashlie and smiled.
"Hey Ashlie, everything is going to be ok. When we get back to the common room we will tell all the Ravenclaws about the rules and then this won't happen again," exclaimed Raven who managed to Transfigurate 5 pins and smiled as teh Professor looked at her progress.

*Gabby sat with her wand straight out pointing directly at the pin*
"Conveterte"
*Rolling over a few times the pin eventually gave way and turned into a pill box. She gave a few small claps of excitement and sat quietly after to wait for their next lesson.*

After spending much of the class practicing saying the spell, Amber finally drew up the courage to try it on her pin. she took a deep breath and then said, "Converterte!" the pin sat still on the desk. she whispered, "Oh darnit." and tried studying the notes again.

Pookah had been quietly taking notes so far; she got up from her seat at the very back of the classroom. By the time she got to Professor McAiken's desk, almost everyone had their own pin and were back at their seats.
She picked up a pin, walked back to her seat, pulled out her rosewood wand, and looked nervously at the pin.
She tugged at her only strand of hair that was long.
"Con-converterte!"
Nothing happend, she took a deep breath, trying to concentrate
"Converterte!"
Still nothing, for a second she looked like she was about to cry.
"CONVERTERTE!"
The pin exploded into a perfect pillbox, it had little mother-of-pearl flowers on the top.
"That's nice..." she whispered.
She changed her hand movement, and tried to focus.
"Converterte!"
The pillbox wobbled a bit, and then changed back into pin, which still had bits of mother-of-pearl glistening on it. | |

Amber decides that she is ready to try the spell again and pointing her wand at the pin she says "Converterte!". "Grrr!!!" she tries again, but with more feeling. "Converterte!!" the pin tranfigures into a cute little pill box with blue and white roses decorated on it. | |

The laws of the earth and of our kind rule even us but we have a power that allows us to skip steps that muggles have to take. A muggle can produce a pillbox out of a pin too, but he would need to use more than one step because he would need several pins then melt it, and form the new object by manufactoring processes. "um..thank you HPB.thank you Professor...i-i do know this theory...but, its not what i wanted to know...um..i wanted to know...how does Transfiguration actually work. the process seems..looks interesting. turning from a pin to a pillbox. how does the morphing process work? how does it change shape and appearance?" She didn't know how she could explain what she wanted. she waited for a reply, hoping she was clear enough...

Lizzy took a pin and went back to her seat, staring at it. she looked at everyone else getting theirs to turn easily, and mentally cursed her muggle roots.
There is no way I can do this!
"Converterte" she muttered.
The pin changed into a pillbox.
I need some more self esteem

*Katie shly and unsurely takes a pin. She walks quickly over to her seat and sets the pin infront of her. Biting her lip and breathing in deeply, she pulled back some loose strand of chest nut color hair behind her ears and raised her wand. She tapped the pin three times and shouted;*
"Converte!"
*The awaiting pin rolled across the table and with a pop the pillbox appeared. Katie beamed and clapped happily, picking it up satisfied and proud.*

*Cass was a bit happy to see the two girls from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw she had met in the hallways earlier that day. They both seemed happy to have finally made it to class after their little wonderings through the halls trying to find the class room. Trying hard to remember their names, Cassandra finally managed to pull them out of her brain. *
The one from Hufflepuff is Katie and the one from Ravenclaw was called Lizzy she thought to herself. Yes, I’m sure that’s it! Cassandra was very proud that she had not only talked to girls from other houses, but was remembering their names so easily.
