I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
Stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

Rick was going over the room, making sure to have everything settled in place before the students arrived in class. Everyone currently attending had passed their OWLs, so now it was up to Rick to get them ready for NEWTs. Which, it sounded a lot worse than it actually was, but Rick had confidence that the class could actually do well if given the chance. He gave the room a nod before he settled back to wait for the students to come in, and affectionately scritched the owl sitting on his desk on the crest of its head. Similar owls were scattered through the room, and Rick was glad that he had managed to persuade the birds to help with the assignment. He could undo any damage to them, after all.
As the last of the students entered the classroom, Rick flicked his wand to close the door and looked over the assembled students. "Welcome to NEWT-level Transfiguration people. You have done very well to actually get this far in school, and honestly, I'm going to admit, it's not easy. I'm also going to admit that it's going to get harder from here on out. However, as you've already done well on your OWLs, I don't see you having any issues with your NEWT-level unless you run into a roadblock. As always, if you need help, my office is always open and all you have to do is come by anytime during one of my free periods to get assistance in class."
He then stood up straight, glancing toward the owls scattered throughout the room. "Now, just a bit of something easy to work on before we get into the harder parts of the curriculum. All of you have an owl on your desk. First of all, please be gentle to them, since they did let me bring them to class to practice this lesson's spell. Second of all, you will each practice in pairs on each owl. Again, just be patient and careful in your work, and neither you nor your partner will have problems with the spell itself."
He then turned to the students themselves. "Today's spell is called Noctuam Opera omnia, or owls to opera glasses. This one's a pretty easy spell to ease you into your NEWT course. Basically it does as the spell suggests, and turns the owl in front of you into opera glasses. Now yeah, I know, I don't think you'd ever find a use for this spell in any event outside of maybe the opera if you attend it, but it is a good practice for transfiguring intelligent creatures, which is what we'll do later in the year. Just remember the wand movement we've practised over the past five years, and if you run into a snag and can't untransfigure your owl, just raise your hand and I can assist you." He settled back and waited, feeling a bit glad that they weren't casting the spell on hawks. Owls were bad enough, and he'd spent enough time as a bird to be unnerved whenever transfiguration spells included avians in any form.

A mind as clear as a cloudless sky...
No room for rust, no room for settled dust.
A waning wild thrown to bygone days...
No room for rust, no room for settled dust.
I’m growing black mud up around my veins;
And I’m going backwards, shutting out the name.

Di wasn't sure why this required a partner- you'd think there were plenty of owls at hand, so having enough couldn't be the issue- maybe in case the owl went a bit mad and tried to claw someone's face off? She rather liked owls, herself, and so felt a bit bad about turning one into a pair of silly opera glasses; who went to the opera anymore? Still, like Professor Drage, her hero, had said, it was good practice, ridiculous as it might be. With a small sigh, she transfigured the sleeping bird, then untransfigured it for her partner.
But it’s spiraling, spiraling into something bigger-
Is there something bigger?
Wide awake, but I am sleeping...
No room for rust, no room for settled dust.
I’m lying naked, drunk and dreaming-
Would it all work at all?

I can't sleep tonight. Wide awake and so confused. Everything's in line, but I am bruised.
I need a voice to echo. I need a light to take me home. I kinda need a hero, is it you?

Monika followed the rest of her classmates into the Transfiguration classroom. She had just finished up in Charms, and still had Runes and Wandlore to go to after lunch, so her day was far from over, but she was almost halfway done. Plus, lunch was after this class. She particularly loved lunchtime because she had a chance to catch up with her friends, including those in other years, as well start on a bit of her homework so her workload wasn't as massive at the end of the day. Taking her seat, she was ready for another year of Transfiguration. She had trouble with this class, but studied and practiced hard, earning a top score on her OWL exam last year. She planned to do the same with her NEWT. Today's lesson was on the owls to opera glasses spell. Monika felt bad for the owls, having one herself, and couldn't imagine ever needing to turn one into a pair of glasses. She wasn't into opera anyways. Regardless, after taking down the notes, the girl collected one of the owls and brought it back to her desk. She pointed her wand at it, thinking about how it would look as a pair of shiny golden opera glasses. Reciting the incantation, she opened her eyes to find, instead of a pair of glasses, a shiny golden owl statue. Um... That's not right. Monika tried again, and again, and again, until she finally got the spell right. She would have to practice more later. Perhaps Theodore wouldn't hate her entirely if she tried the spell on him?

Fianna Grey
Gryffindor │ Sixth Year │ Sixteen Years Old │ Single
Somehow, and Fianna wasn't quite sure how, but she managed to escape from her Transfiguration OWL with an 'O'; actually she'd racked up sixteen of them, but the Transfiguration was a real feather in her proverbial cap, given how she struggled with the class when she was younger. Much of her issues she got help on by having Linny tutor her, early on, before Fianna felt horribly guilty for the imposition it was on her already stressed and overworked cousin, and buckled down and got over her block. Plus now, if she wanted to be an Auror someday, she needed this class.
Professor Drage was spot-on: there weren't a whole lot of practical applications for this spell, but it was part of the curriculum. She'd felt guilty using Dormir on an owl in Alchemy class, she felt horrible about transforming one into a fashion accessory here; but she told herself if anything went wrong, she'd learned enough in Cursebreaking class to fix whatever mess she caused ... she hoped. 'And this is supposed to be easy...'
Looking at the owl in front of her, she brushed the feathers atop its head, and said softly, "I'm sorry to do this to you. Noctuam Opera omnia!" A wisp of vapour issued from her wand as she pointed it toward the owl. The creature hooted once and then became a pair of small binoculars mounted on a handle whose grip mimicked the appearance of the owl's leg, while the front had a sort of feather pattern done in metallic brass. Fianna hoped the owl didn't suffer while transformed.
     Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
"Everything you wants a dream away
We are legends, every day"
That's what she told me
Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
"Everything you wants a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds"
