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.

Oliver was very disappointed to learn that today's lesson involved cheese straws. He consoled himself with the thought that if the Slytherin team couldn't be slimy, they could at least be tasty.

Despite his obsessive fixation with Quidditch, Oliver had done fairly well in his other classes at Hogwarts. He gathered up his supplies and went to an empty table. "Caseum verto", and that was that, three cheese straws on the table.

He raised his hand and waited for Professor McGonagall.

"Very good," she said, praising Oliver, "I would expect no less of you, Mr. Wood."

"Thank you, Professor," he said. "I was taught by the best."

"Why thank you, Oliver. And no, I will not tell you how to turn the Slytherin quidditch team into cheese."

Damn. Time for a different tactic.

"Have I ever told you how lovely those robes look on you, Professor?" Oliver said.
