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:

Meg couldn't actually remember being early for a class ever, but today she actually did arrive promptly. Looking at the instructions, she gulped and approached the stern-looking (and very teacherish) woman at the front of the class.
"Um, hi, could I get a wand, please?"

[tartan_pussy]

"Ah, you're very lucky to be one of the first here," Professor McGonagall replied as she opened a drawer, "You get the pick of the best wands. Here, take this willow and unicorn-hair one; it's nearly new."

"Thanks," Meg said, taking the wand and finding a work area in the front of the room.

John House made it a point to always be punctual. Hence, he showed up to the Transfiguration class he'd signed up for, on the dot. Standing in the doorway, he looked around at the empty classroom. Apparently the rest of the school did not hold the same level of orderliness.

He entered the room and read the directions on the board, and then frowned. He went to the front of the room and picked up one of the straws and then cleared his throat, looking for the instructor.

"May I help you?," Professor McGonagall inquired.

[semper_fi_house]

"Ah," said John. The woman was actually wearing a pointy witch hat. "I'll be needing a, uh, wand, please." God it felt weird to say that.

"Here you are, sir," she said, handing a hornbeam and dragon heartstring wand, "You're in luck- you get one of the newer wands."

Callahan had acquired a wand from somewhere, and he arrived whistling cheerfully. He collected his materials and found a seat somewhere in the middle of the room.

Phoenix has a wand! And he has the cheese straws!

Unfortunately for him, he didn't read the instructions that clearly. So, instead of saying caseum verto, he said caseus verto.

And he kept saying it while more of his hair turned to cheese.

[tartan_pussy]

Minerva looked up to see one of her student blithely turning their hair into cheese. "Stop, stop STOP!," she shouted as she hurried across the room to Phoenix. "You man, you are saying the incantation wrong! Have you not noticed you are turning your hair to cheese?"

[wright_phoenix]

"My wha?" Phoenix feels his hair. "My hair....is cheese....." He plucks off a piece. "MY HAIR IS CHEESE!"

[tartan_pussy]

"Don't pluck it, you'll turn bald," she said as she pulled out her wand. She quicly incanted, "Capillos Verto," and Phoenix's hair was hair again.

...However. Because Minerva was not the one to cast the original spell and said spell was cast on someone else's body repeatedly, Phoenix's hair remaind slightly... Orange. It was like he'd lightly dusted his hair with Cheetos.

Tyrion shuffled into class, noticed that he was surprisingly early, and so settled for grabbing a handful of straw and meandering to the back of the classroom, in a corner conveniently near the door in case it became necessary to cut this educational period short.
