3rd and 4th year class

[William Drubsky]

Professor Drubsky walked in to class and took a seat. And waited for people show up.
He pointed at blank wall and give flick to his wand as he murmured a spell under his breath.
A blackboard suddenly appeared where the old blank wall was.
He started writing his classroom rules, which read as followed:
1. No Hogsmeade jokes or drink. If I catch you with any hogsmeade drink or jokes, I will revoke your visitation pass for the remainder of the term.
2. No casting spells unless I command you to do so. Anybody caught casting spells without my permission will have a turn me a 500 word paper on a subject of my choice and it will not be fun.
3. No talking when Im talking ! Raise your hand if you want to say something or have a question. First time I catch you talking when I'm talking is a warning, second time is an essay on subject of my choice and third time is detention.
4. Not arriving late to class. Arriving late to class will cause you if you are in my house to revoke you, your night pass after your classess are over.
5. Do your homework. I will deduct point for a homework not turned in and if the problem gets too bad I will sent you to the headmistress and let her deal with the problem.
6. You follow my rules and you will have fun!
Professor Drubsky sat back down at his desk and waited for pupils to show up.

Walks into the classroom carrying my rucksack and my Transfiguration textbook.

"Good morning Professor. Is there any particular place you'd like me to sit?"

[William Drubsky]

The Professor looks at the Gryffindor captain and said:
"Not right now, Ms. Griffith but when we get more students; I will be assigning seats. So just take seat wherever you like just know aint permanent."
William sat back down and waited for more students to come.

[Hermione Chambers]

"Alright thank you Professor. Glad to see you back this year."

Takes my seat in the front of the class.

[Chloë Delacroix]

*she quietly walked in to the classroom with all of her stuff for class*

Hello Professor.

[William Drubsky]

If nobody else shows up by today, I will start lessons tomorrow.
Dont expect an easy term!

-------Professor William Drubsky------

[William Drubsky]

He went to the middle of the room and said pointing to his blackboard:

Starting us off today, I would like you all to copy the following definition down:

Switching Spells: Any spell that involves the transferal of a given portion of one object or being onto another object or being.

For the remainder of this term, we will be studying the many different aspects of Switching Spells, from simple object transferal to the harder more complex human transferal. Switching spells in their purest form are basic object to object and usually serve one function: to make an object whole. Back in the early stages of Magic, Switching Spells were created before the widely used and accepted spell Reparo. An example for when the use of a Switching Spell would be necessary would be if you had a tea cup and the handle broke off. One would simply switch the handle of another tea cup onto the broken one. Since a wizard or witch couldn’t use a switching spell to fix everything (i.e. a plate), Reparo was eventually created and Switching Spells were pushed aside and nearly forgotten for a good century.

[William Drubsky]

He continued his lesson and said:
It was a man by the name of Golopa Fundis who reintroduced the Switching Spell to the wizarding world in a sort of side-show that he created. Golopa had inherited a journal kept by his late Uncle Amdus, which had gone into great detail about life before Reparo and the switching spells that were used. Being curious, Golopa fooled around with the spells, eventually successfully transferring a leg from one table onto another. He soon tried switching various portions of one object with another, delighted to learn that he could switch just about any feature of one object with another. Eventually his discovery and curiosity led to other forms of switching (animal and being). For right now, we will just focus on object transferal.

Today you will all be using your desk and chairs as your test subjects. The goal is to properly switch one of your chair legs with one of your desk legs. Once you master the one-leg switch, I would like you to move onto doing two legs. By the end of class, I would like everyone to be able to switch all four legs of their chairs with that of their desks. With object to object switching, you all will be getting a feel for how the spells work and will be building up your concentration levels, which will be incredibly important next class when we practice with animals, which can be a bit distracting.

He looked at his class and said:
"Do we understand this? Can we proceed on?"

--------Professor William Drubsky---------

[Hermione Chambers]

Quickly wrote down everything the Professor was saying. However, I noticed he never told us how to do switching spells.


I raised my hand, waiting patiently for the Professor to allow me to speak.

[Chloë Delacroix]

*she quickly wrote down the spell and a we other things*

[William Drubsky]

He looked at Ms.Griffith and said:
"Yes,what is your questio,Ms.Griffith?"
-----Professor William Drubsky-------

[Hermione Chambers]

"I was just wondering if there is any incantation to perform switching spells with? If not, then how exactly do we perform them?"

[William Drubsky]

He looked at her and said:
"Dont get ahead of yourself,I know you are eager to learn but wait. Im going explain."
Professor started speaking once again:

Here is how to perform the spell (each variation of Switching requires a different form of concentration and/or visualization, as well as wand movement): Holding your wand in a firm grip, you need to keep your wrist straight and the tip of your wand pointing at the objects you wish to transfigure. You will move your wand in a stiff but small Z followed by an even smaller tap. Both of the objects should be touching the first time you do a Switching Spell; as your proficiency increases, the distance between the objects can increase as well.

The incantation you will use is: Objectus Transferus. Its pronunciation is ob-JECK-tuhs trans-FIR-uhs. This is the general object transferal spell. General spells require more concentration than most because the caster does not specify which object he is wishing to transform.

[William Drubsky]

He continued explaining his lesson:
While performing the spell, it will be important to concentrate on the two legs you wish to transfer (one from the desk and one from the chair). You have to imagine the actual switch. At the end of class, I will have volunteers come up and perform the spell for us. They will have to switch all four legs from both objects while still sitting in their chair.
Good luck! And as if I would forget to tell you – reWizard concentration and visualization!

Professor Drubsky looked at the class once again and said:
"Is there any questions?" Can I have some volunteers to perform the spell?"Do you guys want know the homework assigment now or combined with the animal manipulation lesson?"
He stood at the center of the classroom,waiting for answers.
------Professor William Drubsky---------------

[Hermione Chambers]

I raise my hand once again. (Maybe I can do it. Just need a bit of focus.)

[William Drubsky]

Professor Drubsky looked at Ms.Griffith and said:
"Please, come up front and try to the spell."
----Professor William Drubsky-----------

[Hermione Chambers]

"Well Professor, I was going to volunteer, but I wonder if I could have a few minutes to practice first?"

[William Drubsky]

He said to her:
Of course.

*raises hand*

[William Drubsky]

He looked at the new student and said:
"Yes,Ms.Wood what is the question?"
