Lenore smiled softly as she noticed how emotional Professor Makshi was becoming. She knew that some of the professors got more attached to the students than others and that it would be hard for this one in particular to say goodbye. Still, Professor Makshi had the chance to do something amazing and Lenore couldn't blame her for choosing that path.
She also noticed Professor Howard observing from the front of the class. Lenore was eager to make a good impression, not only because he was handsome, but also because she prided herself on her wandwork. Cringing slightly, she noted how glad she was that Professor Howard hadn't taken over potions. That would have been embarrassing...
The uncomfortable thought was replaced with excitement as Professor Makshi announced that they would be doing human transfiguration. This would be a perfect opportunity to show what she was capable of! She wondered just what part of themselves they would be transfiguring. Making themselves taller? New noses? Extra eyes? She giggles slightly at that last thought. Then her excitement dropped when Professor Makshi said that it would only be their hair that they would be transfiguring. Changing hair was so basic. She had been doing that for years. Sinking slightly in her chair she picked up her mirror and began to think.
"Hair... what can I do with my hair?" she thought to herself in a whisper. "Color? Length? Curls?" She looked into the hand mirror, shifting it from side to side trying to get a good angle. She just couldn't see as much as she liked and it was irritating her. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at the small mirror, silently transfiguring it into a large oval hanging mirror. Then with a flick she had it hovering in the air over her desk. "Much better." she said happily.
She looked up and saw that she had caught some attention from the younger students and this sparked an idea. Why should she stick to basic? She was far more advanced than that. It couldn't hurt to show off a bit? She might even get some house points for outstanding spellwork. Grinning to herself, she set to work.
It was always best to transfigure hair when it didn't have any product in it. With a wave of her wand, Lenore rendered her blonde locks clean. They were almost perfectly straight now, lacking the extra wave that she put into them daily. She then magicked a brush out of thin air and set it to brushing out her hair while she thought about what to change. After a moment she decided and let the brush rest on her desk.
Pointing her wand near her right temple she thought the words Crinus Muto and smiled to see her straight blonde hair lengthening and turning a deep red-brown. Adjusting the angle of her wand, her hair arranged itself into a side braid and one final flick added some decoration. The effect was stunning! But it could go further right? After all, a good hair style needed good eye lashes!
Pointing her wand at her eyes and looking at the fine blond eyelashes in her mirror, Lenore again thought the words Crinus M-
Just then there was a small explosion from behind. A Hufflepuff girl was enveloped in smoke and Lenore's eyes caught the whole thing in her magically magnified mirror. Lenore's eyes widened in shock... and they didn't stop.
Looking back to her own reflection, Lenore saw that her eyes were growing instead of her lashes. Panic set in as she saw them bulge out and take over her face. To her horror, her tongue decided to join her eyes and grew until it was about ten inches long, protruding from her mouth like a giant slug.
Horrified, she instinctively raised her wand to rectify the situation. And felt something she had never felt before - doubt in her own abilities. She hesitated then got ahold of herself. If she didn't stop this now her tongue was going to choke her. Noting through her fear how glad she was that she could cast non-verbal spells, she pointed her wand at her face and thought Finite Incantatem.
Her eyes and her tongue both shrunk slowly down to their original size. Her hair also returned to it's natural wavy-straight (and unstyled) state. The mirror fell to the floor and she didn't bother to look to see if it was broken. Cheeks blazing, she flopped her head down into her arms on her desk and didn't look back up. So much for good first impressions.

Although Sauvage over the years has learned to love the way she looks, she thought that she might apply characteristics she appreciates in others and try copying them on herself. First, she thought of an old friend who had the most beautiful blue eyes. The end result did not turn out bad, though she still loved her hazel eyes. Next, she considered making her hair shorter. Cute! What would she look like as a ginger?
Suddenly a shriek echoed through the classroom as the lesson took a terrible turn for Sauvage. She cursed herself for experimenting on her hair in such a way and frantically tried to get it back to the way it was. The more frustrated she became, the faster she made the changes, and the worse the results seemed to be. Needs to be longer. No! Now it is too dark. Hmph. A little closer, but still needs to be longer and brighter.
It wasn't quite the same, but...she could work with it. At least long enough until she could reach her potions kit and brew something to take care of this mess. Sauvage then left the classroom in a hysterical mess, brushing her fingers through her hair and promising to never put it through such an ordeal ever again

She looked up to the front of the room where the spell was written on the board. Phew. "Hmm..," Chell thought for a moment while gazing in the mirror, "Perhaps I should try out blonde!"
She spun around in her chair, away from the mirror; she wanted the reveal to be a surprise - like one of those fancy makeover shows! "Crinus Muto!" she said boldly and swished her wand in the direction of her hair. "Did it work?" she asked a nearby classmate who looked shocked for a moment but then was unable to hold back laughter. "What's so funny?" she questioned, "Also, did someone open up a window....?" Chell spun back around to the mirror and gasped.
Trying something new, Chell flicked her wand instead and repeated, "Crinus Muto!" Just as suddenly as they had left, her locks were back! But this time, in a soft blonde. Chell stared at herself in the mirror and smiled, "I don't know, the bald was certainly a look! Should I change it back?" she teased.

Niamh was looking forward to this lesson - she'd been practising hair transfiguration spells ever since her Mum had thought Niamh might be a Metamorphmagus (and was bitterly disappointed to discover she wasn't), and waved her wand a few times to remind herself of the correct movement.
She propped up the mirror so she could see her reflection without needing to hold the mirror, and tried to concentrate on the short blue hair she had in mind. Waving her wand, she said Crinus Muto and closed her eyes as she felt her hair changing.
Bouyed on by her success, and just for fun, she waved her wand and said the spell again, while focusing on a Gryffindor dip-dye colour. Looking at her reflection, she was pleased to see she had dip dye hair, but the colour was nothing like what she had wanted. "I think I need to practise this one a lot more," she said to herself as she read through the article again, idly wondering if there was a transfiguration spell which would change the colour of her glasses to match her hair.
