"That's okay, just take a seat."  Valarinth told the late arrival.  She then called out everyone's name and listened for them to put up their hands to say 'here'.  She had the keys of everyone in the class that hadn't arrived before today and levitated them across the room to each individual.<br/>"These keys will get you into the dorm rooms that you've been assigned.  The number of the room you've been assigned is on the key, if you lose them get in touch with me or one of the other teachers as they've all been magically encoded to prevent them going missing."  Once she'd gone through  the full list of names in her class and crossed off all, but a few students that hadn't yet turned up she begun the lecture.<br/><br/>"Transmutation magic is all about altering the properties of one thing into another.  Can I have a volunteer please?"  Valarinth asked the class.  Tamyshia immediately put her hand up in the air and waved it about.  Valarinth giggled slightly and motioned for her to come to the front of the class.  "Okay Tamyshia, you can be my volunteer."<br/>"Teacher's pet!"  The girl from before snickered with a few giggles from the ones that seemed to be with her.  Tamyshia looked back to them with a slight pout as she made her way up to the front of the class.<br/>"First rule of thumb."  She begun as, unknown to her, Fexiryn's etherial hand came out of Valarinth's chest area and gave the class a thumbs up.  This set off a few giggles and also a few red faces from some of the shy students whose attention was suddenly drawn to that area.<br/><br/>"Right, first lesson...recognising something that has been changed."  Valarinth mentally concentrated on the spell in her mind and cast it upon her daughter, turning her into a three inch doll that looked just like her original self.  Valarinth could hear her daughter's voice in her mind as she tried to call out.  'What's happened mother, I can't move and why is everyone so big?'<br/>"Oh yeah, I forgot you could do that."  She spoke to the doll as she picked it up.  To everyone else, the Tamyshia doll had said nothing.  Valarinth showed Tamyshia to the class and continued with the lecture as the Etherial hand started to poke at her chest.  Valarinth then placed Tamyshia upon the desk.<br/>"Now I want you all to come up one at a time and feel the resonation of transmutation magic by holding Tamyshia in your hand and concentrating your mana around her form.  I have placed quite a powerful spell on her, so it should be abundant in the energies of transmutation thereby enabling you each to sense it with relative ease."<br/><br/>Tamyshia felt so embarrassed that she wanted to cover herself with her wings, but as a very realistic doll she was unable to move them.  A few of the boys tried to look up her skirt, but they soon stopped when the sound of Tamyshia's voice screamed out with embarrassment, even to people in the adjacent rooms.  'No, don't look up there!'  Her voice squealed into everyone's mind.  It was at this point that Valarinth gave the boys a telling off.<br/>"Would everyone please stop looking up my daughter's skirt."  She said, sounding just a little fed up and irritated by it.  "Just sense for the energy of the spell...unless one of you wants to be the next volunteer?"  A few of the student's snickered again as Fexiryn fondled Valarinth's left breast a little, but this time she noticed.<br/>"Ahem, would you all excuse me for a moment?"  She told the class as she stepped out of the room leaving the rest of the class to sense for the energy of the spell.<br/><br/>"FEXIRYN!  Would you please get out of my body right NOW!"  She yelled at the foxy librarian, who drifted outside and resumed a more physical form.<br/>"Aww...you're no fun."  Shi giggled as shi stuck hir tongue out in a silly manner with hir head tilted cutely to one side.<br/>"I'm trying to teach a class."  Valarinth sighed at her foxy friend.<br/>"But it was cozy inside you and I was bored."  Fexiryn responded.<br/>"Okay, okay..."  Valarinth gave in.  "You can watch the class for a while then once they've finished their current task you're to take them up to the library and show them around.  I will have more stuff for them to do later.  There should also be some other first year classes coming up to pay you a visit later on in the day, so that should keep you entertained."  Valarinth sighed as she went to her office to do a few minor tasks while Fexiryn walked back into the class.<br/>"Hey, guess what?"  Shi said with a giggle as shi danced around looking very pretty in hir kimono.  "After you've all sensed for the transmutation, I get to take you all up to the library and show you around.  I'm Fexiryn Silvertail, the school's librarian."  Shi responded with a giggle as hir silver hair and tail flowed around so gracefully.
