Transfiguration Class

Minerva knew that students rarely made it to class on time these days (if at all) and so she left the following instructions on the board:


Today we will be turning straw into cheese straws. Please take a handful of straw from the table back to your work space.

A wand is required for this class. If you do not own one, see me. I have loaner wands you may use for this class.

Once you have all your supplies in order, you may begin with the lesson. Take a single straw and set it on your desk away from anything else. Point your wand at it and say the incantation "Caseum verto" while envisioning the straw turning into cheese. Do NO say "CaseUS verto" lest you turn part of yourself into cheese.

Once you have succesfully tranfigured three straws, call for me to come inspect your work. Do not eat your materials until I have inspected them!

If you require additional assistant, raise your hand and I will come help you.

Cue blushing and stammering. As a rule, compliments from authority figures and the like often left Steph confused and flustered. "Thanks! Um, no. Just practicing on my own. Professor Dumbledore said I might have a talent for it."

"Yeah, he helped me with some of the Latin pronunciation. I'm not too great with Latin."

((I actually went on hiatus right as Dumbledore was going to help Steph with her Latin, but for RP purposes, I’m assuming he went on to give her a hand.))

"Yeah, sure. I mean, absolutely. I'll do that!" Okay, now she just had diarrhea of the mouth. Steph clamped her jaw shut, after thanking the professor one last time, and went back to cheese-related things.
