Professor Lovegood's Office - Transfigurations

[Roxas]

Florence Lovegood's office is a very bizarre and unusual sight, the hallway proceeding up to it is shrouded in darkness and only the door is barely illuminated. If you listen closely, you can hear the faint sounds of the magical creatures the Professor keeps in her office, the reason why it is so dreary and dark. However as you approach the door, the room flickers into life and a golden glow lights up the main sanctum of the office.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Geoffrey comes to visit Professor Lovegood. He knocks on the door and then speaks.

Professor? Are you available right now?

[Roxas]

Slightly taken aback by the sudden illumination of the room due to the presence of a guest, Florence swiftly chucked her book on invisible creatures her uncle had lent her into the nearest drawer and took a seat in one of her rustic looking wooden chairs.

"Come in; Come in."

[Lucius Malfoy]

Geoffrey entered the office, noticing the glowing effects of some sort of spell. As he walked towards the Professor, his ears caught the soft noise of something moving quietly. The eleven year old approaches the Professor.

Hello Professor Lovegood. My name is Geoffrey Cleaver. My Uncle recommended I come and speak to the Transfiguration Professor as soon as I got to Hogwarts.

[Roxas]

Florence rocked her head from side to side as she listened in some quirky manner, every so often glancing at where the shuffling noises could be heard from.

"Ignore the noise; I'd explain what the cause of it is but I'm afraid I'd only deviate from what you want to discuss."

She then murmurred a spell under her breath, causing the room to return to a eerie silence. Afterwards she then turned back towards Geoffrey and gave a reassuring smile;

"Now that little problem is sorted....What can I do for you?"

[Lucius Malfoy]

Geoffrey just watches quietly before snapping his attention back to the Professor. He then shows his question by changing his hair several different colors before reverting back to his natural brown color. He takes in a deep breath before speaking.

I was born as a Metamorphmagus. My parents were quite surprised by this when I was born...my father found out about the ability through some intense research. My Uncle recommended that I speak with you, Professor, in order to see if you knew anything on this or know of any resources that could help understand this rare ability better.

[Roxas]

Florence's face screwed slightly in intrigue, making a slight sound before humming for a few seconds. Without any warning she began to respond;

"Well you don't see something like that every day, I'm glad you decided to come..."

She proceeded to rise from her sitting posture and began to circle the middle of her office,

"Now I must say that such a condition is very rare, so naturally there is next to no guidance on it unless you delve deep into the ministerial archives. However I am more than happy to try and help you use this ability, if you so wish."

Florence grinned before clapping her hands together softly;

"What exactly are the limits you currently have in terms of it's ability and functions?"

[Lucius Malfoy]

Geoffrey was happy to hear this. He looked at the Professor as he gave examples of what he could do. The student changed his nose shape, his eye color as well as shape...his mouth's form. Then the length of his hair as well as the color. He then looks at Lovegood.

I had a teacher for a while before I went to live with my Uncle. He taught me the basics and I managed to get those down easily. I did once transform into a neighbor's child, but only managed it for ten seconds.

[Narf]

A weak knock was heard on the door.

Florence nodded, swishing her wand at some nearby ornaments littering her desk,

"Avifors"

A flock of pure snowy white doves erupted from the desk, gracefully gliding about the room with elegance as the room came alive in harmonious music.

"Transfigurations is a wonderful thing, to make such Betty from worthless junk. Never forget that your ability is a gift."

She then flicked over a book from one of her numerous bookshelves, winking as she shoved it in his arms.

"For now, I would suggest that you do not inform anyone else of your ability. I would like to personally oversee your progress at the school; and offer you my time after the school day has ended."

A weak knock was heard on the door.

Florence was now wide awake, keeping her lively and quirky persona as she answered her guest;

"Come in."

Geoffrey watches the professor show an example of transfiguration, followed by listening attentively to Lovegood's words. He then sighed lightly and pointed to his nose.

Sadly a few students know thanks to this, Professor. I have a rather sensitive nose...even the slightest dust or pollen makes me sneeze, causing my hair to change color. I was hoping to find a remedy to that while at Hogwarts.

[Roxas]

Evie entered the door, though she stood timidly and silent before the professor.

Florence nestled one of her favourite flowers into her fair white hair as she smiled at Evie, then carefully used her wand to drop her spare one on the young girls shoulder.

"Flowers are host to many wonderful and magical creatures did you know? Those Rose pixies are quite a rowdy bunch though..."

After finishing speaking her random thoughts, she rather clumsily found a bare spot on the floor to perch down on; she then began to use her usual gentle tone.

"How may I help you young one?"

A loud noise can be heard from inside the office as Professor Lovegood struggled to put away one of her many bizzare contraptions she had purchased from a trader in Hogsmeade. As the Charms professor entered the office, he witnessed Florence slamming one of her cupboard shut as she turned around rather sheepishly;

"Oh, Professor. I'm sorry you had to see me all clumsy like this.."

She let the sentence trail; smiling as she began a new one.

"Now; what can I do for you?"

OOC: Fancy making a spell?

Florence hummed very loudly in thought, trying to evaluate the best course of approach to the matter. Then like the flicker of a light bulb, she burst into life with a rather abrupt exclamation.

"There is usually a spell for everything, so I am sure we can find something. If not; we can always try to make one...."

She liked the idea of making spells, afterall she was an avid fan of all things bizarre and odd.

"Though for now, It would be wise to see if the Potions department has a temporary remedy for you."

Geoffrey taps his chin slightly, pondering on what he could do. He had plenty of options, perhaps the student could speak with the Potions Professor later. He looked to Professor Lovegood.

I may speak with Professor Neville about a suitable remedy. If not, I am gonna have to hit the books and see what I can find. Thank you, Professor.

Geoffrey then continues to keep his gaze upon Lovegood.

I also want to thank you for offering help with my Metamorphmagi situation.

"Now; what can I do for you?"

I have a request of sorts. My own magical education was rather unbalanced. I am most profiecient at charms - useful i'm sure you will agree as i'm the tutor of charms. But subjects such as potions, and indeed transfiguration i am most inapt at. To be frank most of your first years could out transfigure me. Thus i was rather hoping that i could ask you for a little catch up tutoring.

Evie entered the door, though she stood timidly and silent before the professor.

[Raglan]

None whatsoever. I could probably whip up the occasional charm. For example i believe i recall one that allows me to turn animals into goblets. But thats about it.

[Narf]

All this made her smile one of her extremely rare childish smiles she touched the flower in her hair gently got blanks eyes as it reminded her of her mother, but happily so, she turned around slowly on the spot and inspected the room in thought. She listened carefully to the professors words, and yes they were going to be written down later.. She turned to the professor still wit ha smile on her lips and nodded. "Yeah. I'd like some private Lessons.. If it would be al-right with you? The requirements are steep and.. Well I want to... Be an Auror."

"Well Charms do possess some of the same manipulative qualities as transfiguration spells, so It wont be too hard to pick up."

She gave a rather childish grin,

"Are you merely wanting the basics or something a little bit more in-depth?

Florence confidently smiled, giving out a quick "Ah, I see" as she listened to the young Evie's request.

"That's a very noble aspiration; If I were any better at potions I may of considered such a path. However I am more than happy to help someone else reach that goal. An Auror after all is a well-rounded individual...."

She flicked a chair over with her wand, motioning for Evie to take a seat.

"Is there anything in particular you wish me to teach you?"

[Raglan]

Lets start at the basics, and progress from there.
