Transfiguration Class

[tartan-pussy.livejournal.com]

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.

Ofdensen looked at the instructions on the board.

"I have a question. Does enunciation or emphasis matter? I mean, would saying it one way turn it into cheddar, and another pepper jack?"

"It all depends on the cheese you envision it becoming, young man. Though, for the sake of everyone else in the room, I ask that you refrain from turning the straw into Limburgher."

"Very well." Ofdensen took his straws and began transfiguring them. One he easily turned into cheddar. Five minutes later, he turned a second one into pepper jack. Three more minutes, he turned the last one into parmesan.

After turning the rest of the straws into cheese (and a pencil when his mind drifted), Ofdensen called out, "Professor? I'm finished."
