| | |  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. | |

*Tara hastily copies down some more notes and tries the spell again*
Convertere *She muttered as she pointed her wand at the pin. It turned into a pillbox, more quickly this time*
Hey, I think I'm getting the hang of this! Convertere *The pillbox changed back into a pin*

:: Raises wand and concentrates, "Convertere!" The pin did a small jump and turned into a small silver pill box. "I knew I could do it. I'm in Slytherin." I say proudly. "This is sooo easy." I mumble. Quickly I raise my hand and ask, "Professor, Does this spell only work on pins?" :: | |

Kali decides to practice the spell a bit more.
"Convertere," she says pointing her wand at the pin. Nothing happens.
"Hmmm," she says getting a bit frusterated.
"Convertere," she says again. The pin stalls a bit then it transfigures into a unmistakable pillobx.
"There that's better," she says with a smile.

-Puts her hand back down,. having realized her mistake. She had said 'contvertere' instead of 'Convertere'. She then went back to switching back in forth, making SURE she said it right...-

*Remember you must be thinking of the transfiguration at hand or you will end up with only a partial transfiguration.Think about what you want the pin to become | |

Francis looks slightly annoyed at the person who decided to be late for class. Shrugging it off, she keeps on practicing. She was glad she had been practicing wand movements and reading about transfiguration all summer.

Trish places her pin on the tabe, after it falling a dozen times.
'I'm going to get it this time!' she thought to herself as she repeated the command in her head.
With a swift movement of her wand she said 'Convertere' in a clear voice.
Her pin had magically turned into a small yellow pillbox.
'Yay to me!'
'Better try it again, just to be sure' she thought to herself.
