Transfiguration lesson 2 (1st-4th years)

Rosalinda was glad to be back and ready to tackle down the lesson that she had planned. She wasn't going to have them writing again but she was going to need to set some ground rules before starting the lesson she had planned. It was based on shooting arrows out of the tip of ones wand and she trusted her students she really did but she needed to take precaution and the only way to do that was for them to go over some rules Rosalinda sat back and waited for her class to arrive.

Skye came tiredly into the classroom, he had been released from the hospital wing only a few days ago, and had to take everything carefully. Skye hated having to be so cautious, it wasn't in his nature to shy away and hide things.
As Skye lowered himself into a seat in the front he wanted to just sleep. No one ever realized how far apart classes were until they were unwell. Now it feels like getting class to class was a marathon.
"Hello Professor" He said quietly. None of his normal spunk was with him. He couldn't use his powers because it tired him out worse, so he just had boring brown hair, and dark circles under his eyes. He didn't have the energy to be bubbly, Skye just...wasn't Skye.

Violet wasn't particularly excited for Transfiguration. She never was. It was just sort of a drag. All classes were becoming boring and repetitive. During her first year, they were new and exciting (though she never let that show) but now they had become just the same, routine things. But she still went to class (despite her consideration of truanting, she needed good marks). She entered the classroom and took a seat at the first seat she could find, without acknowledging anyone there.

Natasha really enjoyed Transfiguration, as she enjoyed a lot of her classes. She walked into the classroom, entertaining the thought of curiosity as to what today's lesson would consist of. She saw the boy, Skye Summers (who she knew from other classes, thought had never really spoken to him) and noticed he was very down. She walked to where he was seated and took the seat next to him "Hi," she said softly "Are you alright?" she asked kindly.

Stacy walked into the transfiguration classroom with smile on her face. She was letly quiet happy for some reason. She just had quiet much fun at school and here were people who she could trust actually. "Hello," she said with smile. She did sat down somewhere middle of classroom, her usual place.

"Hi," she said softly "Are you alright?"

Skye had been zoning out, so the soft spoken question was a nice, gentle way to realize that the class had started filling up. He looked at the Ravenclaw, and smiled gently.
"Yeah, I'm ok, just tired. How're you? I don't think I get to talk to you very much," Skye was determined that even if he felt tired, he would still try and be nice to everyone.

She smiled at his polite reply. The boy seemed nice, even when tired. People were usually the opposite. "Just tired? I get a bit fatigued myself sometimes," she said "Yeah, we don't talk that often actually. I'm Natasha, but people just call me Tash," she introduced herself, and decided to hold out her hand for him to shake.

Transfiguration was quickly becoming one of Louise's favorite classes, right behind potions and Herbology. She smiled at the Professor and waved to Skye and his friend before taking her seat and waiting patiently for the lesson to begin, remaining composed just like she'd been taught. That didn't mean she couldn't smile with anticipation.

Skye smiled sheepishly,
"I was letting some stuff upset me, which goes against my personal beliefs! Thank you for snapping me out if it!"'he laughed. When Skye saw Louise he smiled and waved.
"Hello Tash," he stuck his hand out, "I'm Skye Summers, but most people call me Sky!" He said laughing. When he was a kid he wanted a nickname, so he started leaving the e off when he wrote his name, his moms didn't understand it.

Kedzie was excited for Transfiguration, not only because she has heard nothing but great things but because the Professor was a Vampire. She had read a lot about Vampires and was also told that this woman was one of the good ones which made her even more excited. The Ravenclaw girl walked in and saw a good turn out for the classroom. "Hello" Kedzie greeted. It was then she caught sight of the Hufflepuff girl she talked to before. Kedzie gave a polite wave in the Hufflepuff girl's direction.

Rosalinda watched her students pile in and she knew there was no going back in this lesson, she had faith in her students and would never lose that either. "Okay so for today we will be shooting arrows at these targets" Rosalinda conjured targets up and lined them up at the front of the class. "You will have to simply point your wand at the targets and think about what you want to do with it. Stand at least twelve feet away from the targets and do not shoot anyone with the arrows. You will be shooting the arrows out of your wand if you hadn't noticed. Please begin."

With the Professor's instruction, Violet stepped up to a target and aimed her wand at it. Standing the required twelve feet away, she imagined an arrow shooting from the tip of her wand, concentrating hard. Swiftly and smoothly, after a couple of minutes, one shot straight from her wand, cutting through the air with ease and plunging itself deep into the dummy's chest, almost going entirely through. Smirking at her victory, she went to try again, aiming for different parts of the dummy.

Smiling, Tash shook Skye's hand "Nice to meet you, Sky. What a nickname," she commented jokingly before she looked to listen to the Professor. She followed the instructions and walked over to her own target, standing twelve feet away and aiming her wand. It took a while of concentration, it being harder as it was a non-verbal spell, before an arrow shot shakily from her wand, hitting the target, but bouncing off of it and to the ground. It hadn't been strong enough to penetrate. She stopped for a moment, and then started to try again, eventually getting it strong enough to shallowly stick into the dummy.

Kedzie wasn't used to this kind of magic but she needed to do this, it was what was instructed. Kedzie stood in front of her target and made sure she was twelve feet away before taking a deep breath. She raised her wand and imagined an arrow and next thing she knew an arrow shot out. The Ravenclaw watched it sore through the air and hit outside the bullseye.

Skye smiled at the Ravenclaw, it was always nice to make new friends. But she left to try and hit the targets, and Skye had to find a way to also participate in the class.
He levered himself to his feet, and approached the set up. Seeing the intended targets across from him, Skye raised his wand. He tried what the professor said, and concentrated really hard, but his arrow just barely made it to the feet of the dummys. It already felt like just that little bit wore Skye out, but he was determined to get this. Raising his wand, Skye concentrated hard, and added magical force behind his attempt. Now the arrow went almost all the way through the target, and Skye was basically completely worn out. He paused to take a break, because that much exertion made him a bit dizzy.
Skye hoped the weariness would pass soon, he really hated being so tired all the time.

Ever eager to try new spells Louise left her bag and cloak on her desk and stood in front of a free target. This was a little unusual, not having an incantation or much movement she took aim. 'Remember to focus but relax, breathe and...' She thought, her own personal mantra since she began meditating at night before she slept. She pictured an arrow, the tip, the shaft and the fletching. at first she thought she'd done it wring but then out it came and straight into the target, a little off center because she'd jumped when it worked. She grinned happily with her work and tried again, doing the same thing but keeping her arm steady this time. She wondered if it worked for darts too, or throwing weapons of some description. She'd have to ask, she figured if she tried and something went wrong she'd never forgive herself for it.

Rosalinda watched as most of her class decided to participate, she wasn't surprised with Louise since she was interested in Transfiguration and the vampire of course was happy for her fellow Ravenclaws. When she looked at the time she sighed since this would be the end of the lesson for that day. "Great job everyone, I'm afraid that is it for today I hope to see you again. No homework for tonight so enjoy and see you back for next lesson. Bye guys."
