Valerie had no idea what a polyjuice potion was, but she thought she may know a different type of transfiguration. After all, transfiguring is just changing somthing, how difficult could the answer be. This was kind of going off on a limb, but it seemed plausible. She waited as Professor Illiad finished speaking. She had noticed a change in his attitude when Kayla had mentioned the Polyjuice Potion, and she stored the name in the back of her mind, for later investigation. The professor finished his speaking and Valerie's hand shot in the air. She didn't want to raise it before he had finished speaking, because that would have been rude. Now it was a matter of remembering her answer.

Kayla listened to the sound in the professors tone and suddenly felt like an idiot...First years apparently didn't usually know what polyjuice potion was..."Great..." she muttered to herself. She made a mental note to kill herself later for being such an idiot and then continued on listening. Another studens hand shot up when the professor was done speaking and Kayla waited for her answer. |

Transfigurations Professor
|
Professor Illiad finished speaking and waited for another student to raise their hand. He hoped someone other than Kayla would be brave enough to answer, he wanted everyone to participate. His prayer was answered in the next second as a first year, also Gryffindor, raised her hand. The professor checked his sheet once more to learn the name of his next volunteer. After doing so he addressed her, "Valerie Bell, such a lovely name, and can you name for me another type of transfiguration. Trust me, class, if you stop and think for a second, I am sure something will come to you. We can't start spell casting until we finish our introduction." |

Um... That's embarassing. It's not very cool to be complimented by your teacher. She could just imagine the other students snickering at her in the back of the class, that is if any of them were paying attention. On the other hand, he was just trying to be nice. Well, adults don't usually understand kids, so she decided to just brush it off. Its not as if students would label her as the geek or something bizarre like that. Oh yeah, she was supposed to answer that question... "Well," Valerie began. "Wouldn't vanishing be a type of transfiguration. I mean, you are changing an object to make it appear as if it is not there. Sort of like camoflague, right?" Edited by Valerie Bell, Jan 23 2008, 08:33 PM.

Kayla listened to professor Kaar address Valerie, "Valerie Bell, such a lovely name," and suddenly sank in her seat. She had once again bee passed up by some other student, just...like...always... She listened to Valeries answer and sank lower in her seat, from that moment on, Kayla wished she had never come to Hogwarts...she wanted to go home...be with her brothers again...at least there she didnt sound too smart or too stupid!! She sighed slightly and tried to listen on, now finding it extremely difficult. As she tried to listen, she began to sketch random things on a peice of parchment. Kayla had an odd talent for drawing things from memory almost perfectly... She drew an owl to start with, sketching out the eyes...the wings...every little thing was so detailed...At this moment in time, Kayla was so downtrot that she didn't care if she was caught, she didn't bother listening anymore, and she didn't look up once. |

Transfigurations Professor

"Precisely!" Illiad said excitedly. "Very good, Valerie, five points to Gryffindor! Vanishing spells are a type of transfiguration. The object you make disappear, however, will still be exactly where it was when the spell was cast. As you said, the object becomes camouflaged, blending in with its surroundings. There is even a spell you can cast on yourself, one which was discovered not to long ago. That is one of the most complicated transfigurations, however, and you may or may not learn it in my class." After Illiad had begun speaking he started walking around his classroom, glancing randomly at his students, checking the progress of their note taking, or their doodling, for that matter. Kayla was drawing such a lovely owl, it seemed to just fly off the page and after a flick of his wand, Professor Illiad made it do just that. After a flight around the room it returned to the page on which it had started. "Now, can anyone name for me another type of transfiguration. There are just two that remain." |

Right after hearing she could only be one animal Aurora started thinking on what she'd want to be...She thought to herself, drawing on her notepad filled with the definitions the other students and teacher was giving out. She remembered somebody, Tonks. She could change her apperance very often, so could her son. Aurora wondered to herself, would this count? She figured she wouldn't know unless she took a chance. Aurora hesitantly raised her hand. She was sure of what she wanted to say, but not it's actual meaning. |

Kayla continued doodling when she heard her professor say, "Precisely! Very good, Valerie, five points to Gryffindor!" She sank... As she continued her doodling she began thinking to herself, 'I give up...I give up I give up I GIVE UP!!!' She felt like her efforts of attempting to be smart and answer things correctly were just...useless....she'd never be thought of as smart...never ever ever... As she dwelled in her rather depressing thoughts, her owl suddenly flew off the page and around the room. Kayla sat up suddenly and look at the professor, blushing slightly and sinking as low as humenly possible in her seat. |

While her hand was raised she noticed an owl fly right off a girl's page. She was shocked, she switched hands so she could scribble down a note to the girl. 'That was amazing! Can you teach me out to do that? -Aurora(the redish brown haired girl)' She scrawled down before sending the note over discretely. |

Transfigurations Professor

Professor Illiad stopped in front of his class once more. He looked over his class and waited for someone to offer an answer. A girl raised her hand and he checked his paper once more to find out her name. Aurora Sparks, what a lively name, he looked back up and noticed she was no longer holding up the same hand, strange, he had only glanced away for a second. Students are so sneaky now a days. "Yes, Aurora," the professor began, "can you name for me another type of transfiguration. Keep in mind we have already addressed Appearance Altering spells and Vanishing spells." |
