Part 1
1. What origin does the word Petrifaction come from? Give the meaning and the language. (2 pts)

Petrifaction (petrificare) or to be petrified has two meanings:

1. A process of fossilization in which dissolved minerals replace organic matter.
2. The state of being stunned or paralysed with fear.


2. What happens when a person is petrified? (1 pt)

Depending on the meaning of petrified, a few things can happen. The most common known are when someone is petrified they are in a sort of coma which they cannot break. Unlike a coma, the person can usually see and feel what’s going on but is either too scared or unable to move.

3. What causes the petrifaction process to happen? Explain how and why in great detail. (3 pts)

The petrifaction process is caused bye looking into the eyes of a basilisk through or in an object. For example, in the second book all the victims of petrifaction didn’t see the basilisks eyes straight on. I .e Mrs Norris saw them in the water on the floor, and Hermione saw them with a mirror.

4. What happens if a ghost is petrified and how can it be moved? (2 pts)

If a ghost is petrified it is, naturally, harder to move. The ghost turns into a grey smoke and can only be moved by use of a fan.

5. What is the cure and how can it be made? (2 pts)

The cure for petrifaction is Mandrake roots from a mature mandrake.

Part 2
Name the seven people or creatures that have been petrified in the Harry Potter books and what happened when each of them was petrified. (in great detail) 4 pts each

1st was Mrs Norris. She had seen the basilisks eyes in the water, which was caused bye moaning myrtle flooding the girls bathroom.

2nd was Colin Creevy. He had seen the basilisk through his camera.

3rd was Justin Finch-Fletchley. He had seen the basilisk through nearly headless nick, the ghost.

4th Nearly headless Nick. He had seen the basilisk but being a ghost, he couldn’t die twice, but he was petrified

5th was Hermione Granger. Hermione had found out about the basilisk and was using a mirror to look round corners just in case she came across a Basilisk.

6th Penelope Clearwater. Penelope was the first person Hermione told about the Basilisk as she was the first person she saw and a prefect. Penelope was with Hermione both looking round corners with a mirror.

The 7th person, who really I should have out first, was not actually petrified by the basilisk, but she was murdered. Myrtle, or moaning Myrtle as she is now known, was hiding in then bathroom after a boy had been laughing at her glasses, when she heard a boys voice, she came out of her cubical to tell the boy to get out when she saw the basilisks eyes, which killed her.

::Mcfly was walking to the common room after a terrible session of Classes. It was the end of the day and was already getting dark. Wind swept through the corridors and Mcfly pulled her robes over her shoulders to try and warm herself. There were noises, it sounded like pipes clashing,

“The plumbing must be on it’s way out,” She muttered to herself, in some hope that it would bring happiness to this wet, dreary night. There were no other Students about as Mcfly had to go back to the dungeon after dinner to help sort out the remainder of the potions in the store cupboard as she had accidentally fallen into the cupboard and had broken most of the bottles. Just before Mcfly turned the corner to the corridor where the entrance to her common room was, there was a window. Mcfly decided to take a quick glance out of it,

“Pitch black already?” Mcfly then looked at her watch, “Half nine! Already!” As she drew away from the window she caught sight of two pairs of yellow eye reflected in the glass, she tried to scream but she was already on the floor::

MOVE! Get up!

::she told herself, but every limb felt as if it had fallen off. She was petrified!::

What do I do? What can I do? I can’t move! No one will find me till morning?!

::suddenly, all thoughts in her head stopped, like they had been frozen.

Mcfly woke up in a bed with the two Ravenclaw heads of houses, Lily and Herby, her sisters duck and rip all standing over her::

“Mcfly! You’re awake!” Lily exclaimed,

“So it would seem,” Mcfly replied,

::Mcfly smiled::

“My head hurts,”

“Well, it would, you kind of have been petrified,” duck said.

::Mcfly just laughed::

“Don’t worry, you can still catch up on your essays!” Lily said,

“…And homework,” Herby added,

“Great.” Mcfly said sarcastically.

Part 1
1. What origin does the word Petrification come from? Give the meaning and the language. (2 pts)

The word derives from a process that replaces living materials. It has manymeanings, each similar to the other, though the best described one is "The process in which an organic tissue turns to stone"
the word can also refer to a state of paralysis resulting from fear
It originates from mythology with such creatures as the basilisk, and medusa.

2. What happens when a person is petrified? (1 pt)

they turn into a statue like form. They are still alive, yet in a kind of coma - rather like being turned to stone.

3. What causes the petrification process to happen? Explain how and why in great detail. (3 pts)

Within the harry potter verse, the eyes of the basilisk causes petrification. this is not what was meant to happen - the basilisk wanted the kill, yet the reflected eyes in a mirror or water saves the person from death though petrifies them.

4. What happens if a ghost is petrified and how can it be moved? (2 pts)

As a ghost is neither solid or alive, the petrification is slightly different. It simly becomes still and drifts in the air, tinted with a slight grey. The easiest way to move a petrified ghost is to hover it or simply fan it.

5. What is the cure and how can it be made? (2 pts)

Mandrake roots cures petrification, yet the mandrakes need to be mature for the cure to take effect.

Part 2
Name the seven people or creatures that have been petrified in the Harry Potter books and what happened when each of them was petrified. (in great detail) 4 pts each

Mrs Norris saw the basilisks eyes through the reflection of the water upon the ground by moaning mirtles bathroom..

Colin Creevy saw its eyes through his camera

Justin Finch-Fletchley got petrified through seeing its eyes through the gryffindor ghost, nearly headless nick, who acted as a shield for him

Nearly headless Nick actually saw the basilisks eyes but as he was already dead he only got petrified

Hermione Granger saw its eyes through a mirror as she rounded a corner. she had the mirror as she had figured out what was happening

Penelope Clearwater was petrified the same way as hermione with hermione - she was the first person hermione told about using mirrors when rounding corners therefore saved her from death

moaning mirtle was not petrified, though she was killed by the basilisk

Part 3
Decribe how it would feel if YOU were the person to be petrified. What would you think, does it hurt, etc. You can either be saved right before you are transformed, be partially petrified, or completely. Must be 200 words (10 pts)

Being slow on the uptake, I would not have figured out that the use of a reflection would save me, yet as I occasionally wear glasses the reflection would hit me as I took of my glasses to clean them. I dont think that it would hurt as such as the petrification simply puts you into an awake coma. After a while, my muscles would probably begin to ache due to the stiffness of my limbs. I think the main feeling I would have is complete fear. As i would still be awake, though paralised, I would see, hear know what is going on around me, therefore creating a rising panic inside of me. I would want to yell out, and tell those around me what had happened. I would feel terrified that I would never be able to be normal again and be stuck in the paralised state forever. I think I would also be slightly annoyed - both at myself for not figuring it out first and being irrisponsible and also at those around me who would talk at me rather that to me, not knowing that I could still hear them. I think once that I had been brought around again to my normal state, I would be terrified of any snake like creatures for the rest of my life!

~BONUS~ (2 pts)

Well, seeing the Basiliks would most probably freak me out and therefore cause me to scream. My muscles would stiffen and become sore, I'd hit the ground and although I'm kind of in a coma, I'm still able to hear what is going on around me, right? So, I'd probably eavesdrop and found out what happened to me. And then I think I'd probably scream and cry, thinking that there is no way they'll be able to help me. And then I 'd wonder what wuold happed in the future or if I'd even have one. and once I was depetrfied I'd most defiantley make sure I have a mirror with me at all times!

Seeing the Basilisk would be pretty scary, so I would probably cry out first. At first, nothing would happen, just feeling shock penetrate my mind. But then I begin to feel myself being Petrified. It would feel as though my insides were being frozen, starting with my heart and spreading throughout my body. It would hurt, but I would be driven crazy because I couldn't cry out. I can't move, and all of my limbs would feel heavy and stiff. When I fell over, it would hurt and I would be thinking, 'Please, let me pass out soon so I wouldn't hurt anymore.' My head hurt a lot, and I wouldn't remember when I fell down or even if I did fall down. I would lose awareness of the world around me, and I wouldn't know how much time had passed. I would be scared, not knowing exactly what was happening and if I was going to be alright. Finally, darkness would just surround me and I would fall unconscious. There would be no dreams or anything, just uninterrupted darkness. After what would seem like forever, I would feel warmth spreading through my body, and I would open my eyes to find myself awake.

- Moaning Myrtle: She saw the Basilisk’s eyes in a girls bathroom. She died, and has haunted the bathroom ever since.

- Mrs. Norris: The cat saw the Basilisk’s eyes reflected in the water flowing from Moaning Myrtle’s bathroom. Since she didn’t really look into its eyes, she didn’t die. She was petrified.

- Colin Creevey: He saw the Basilisk’s eyes through his camera he carried around. Because of seeing them through the camera, he didn’t die.

- Hermione Granger: She saw the Basilisk’s eyes reflected in a mirror. She was petrified. The mirror came from Penelope Clearwater, whom Hermione had warned about the Basilisk.

Here we go. Elana is going to be petrified. Wohoo.l

~*~

“Hey kid,” a Slytherin sixth year called down the nearly deserted hallway.

Elana turned, hoping that she was not the only one here that the boy could call ‘kid.’ She gulped, realizing that she was.

“Lemme show you something. It’s really fun to do to the little ones,” he said, grinning to his girlfriend, to whom Elana supposed he was showing off. He pointed his wand at Elana, muttering and grinning still. The grin looked like an ugly smirk to Elana.

<i>What is he doing?</i> she thought. <i>Nothing’s happened. I wonder what he-</i> It was then that the spell hit her. Her arms snapped to her sides, books formerly in them crashing to the ground. Her knees straightened and her feet failed to support her. She fell on the hard stone, screaming for help…Except that no sound would come out. Again and again she tried, but her frantic attempts were to no avail. The boy smiled at his girlfriend as she laughed at Elana. Elana heard them walk down the hall and turn the corner, not giving her any help. She tried to get up, but couldn’t get her limbs to cooperate. <i>What did he do? Oh, this is horrible! I can’t move at all! Someone please help me! What a dirty trick. Oh, please, please, please…</i>

The small girl lay on the cold stone for quite a long time. Every few minutes she tried calling out for help through frozen lips, but never succeeded. If she had been able to cry, she would have. Not because it hurt; actually, she felt nothing at all. Once Elana had resigned herself to being there for a while, she decided to plan out her weekend. But before she had gotten past Saturday morning, there were footsteps at the end of the hall! Inwardly she cheered.

<i>Finally!</i>

“Miss Richardson?” said her shocked Transfiguration professor. “My dear, are you all right?”

From her position on the floor, Elana tried to speak to her, but couldn’t.

“…Petrified. That must be it,” her professor muttered. She flung out her wand and conjured a stretcher. Then, Elana was levitated onto it. <i>Thank goodness</i>, she thought.

“To the Hospital Wing with you, young lady,” said her professor kindly. “Whoever did this to you is going to be punished, whoever he or she was.”

<u>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets</u> by J. K. Rowling

Hello class! This will be your first assignment from me, your new Transfiguration professor. Transfiguration requires concentration, determination, and dedication. Transfiguration involves the changing of one self and another thing. However, it doesn't mean that it is always your choice. Today's class will be about having your body changed without your permission, petrification.

Part 1
1. What origin does the word Petrification come from? Give the meaning and the language. (2 pts)it came from geological times/mythology times; though it has been derived over the years to have more than one meaning.
1. it means to turn to stone
2.it means to fill with such fear that one can not move, unmovable, paralyzed, horrified with such fear that ones body ceases to move.
3.organic materials convert into stone or stone like
4. a way of becoming dead-if taken to the extreme. the old saying 'scared to death' would apply here.

2. What happens when a person is petrified? (1 pt) they are frozen in stone or frozen in fear. They obtain no motor skills and their minds are clouded with nothing but fear.

3. What causes the petrification process to happen? Explain how and why in great detail. (3 pts) with petrifying trees, it is simply where the tree being an organic lifeform slowly over time converts to be more solid form, almost stone like. as a result of time, the tree becomes harder and deadened.
In fantasy stories such as Harry Potter, the basilisk's intimidating stare has the power the cauze one to be frozen in fear if they don't look it in the eye.
Mythology times- medusa and the coctrice were able to do the same as the basilisk, on one difference was that the stare wasn't the only thing used to petrify people. Their touch also petrified people and turned them to stone.

4. What happens if a ghost is petrified and how can it be moved? (2 pts)when a ghost is petrified-example in harry potter- The ghost becomes suspended and frozen and can only be moved with a fan or some sort of strong air current for they can not be physically moved as no one can really touch a ghost.

5. What is the cure and how can it be made? (2 pts)
the cure is Madrake Draught. To create this, you need to have matured, adult mandrakes and you use their roots to mix into the solution to make the antidote.

Part 2
Name the seven people or creatures that have been petrified in the Harry Potter books and what happened when each of them was petrified. (in great detail) 4 pts each

1st and the most deadliest was Moaning Myrtle. She was in the bathroom crying cuz she was being made fun of about her glasses and then she came out of the stall in the girls bathroom and saw the eyes of the basilisk and its gaze killed her right then.
2nd was Mrs Norris-she only saw the reflection of the basilisk from the water on the floor. She was hanging by the first message of the chamber of secrets.
3rd came Colin Creevy who only saw the basilisk through his camera. He didn't die cuz he only saw it through his camera so it wasn't direct.
4th came Justin Finch Fletchly who saw the basilisk through nearly headless nick and was petrified.
5th-Nearly headless nick caught the fulll force of the basilisk's attack but since he is a ghost he can't die so he was petrified instead.
6th and 7th Hermione and Penelope. Both were petrified but neither died for they only saw the basilisk in the mirrors.

Decribe how it would feel if YOU were the person to be petrified. What would you think, does it hurt, etc. You can either be saved right before you are transformed, be partially petrified, or completely. Must be 200 words (10 pts)

Slowly, the tingly uncomfortable feeling begins to wash over my body. I can feel it starting in my toes. I wiggle them slowly but suddenly I can no longer feel them. It's as if they are no longer there. And then this creeping feeling climbs up through my body, my skin slowly becomes pale, rough and coarse. the tickling sensation of my leghairs is replaced with a painful throbbing. It started off as a dull pain, one I didnot feel but now it's hurting more and more. And I can't feel my feet now, nor my legs and...and now I can't feel my stomach. I was hungry a moment ago but..but I can't feel the gurgling my stomach normally makes.
I can't hear its hungry rumbling that it usually has when its telling me it's time to eat. And now, the creeping feeling, it's moving through my organs as well as over my skin. It's hurting; hurting more than what I imagined. And my chest is beginning to feel so heavy and..frozen. Yes, it's a feeling of being frozen. My heart is still beating, thankfully. But now my fingers, I am having trouble trying to move them, and my hands. My skin is so discolored now and I can see it fading to a dark, dingey gray! I try to curl my fingers, trying so hard but then...then there is a cracking noise, a sickening noise that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. My fingers crumble, crack and...they break off. I close my eyes and try not to look as my body slowly turns to stone. And now..my breath is getting harder to feel, my chest can not move, it's heavy and hard and I feel great pains racing through what human parts of my body are left. The pressure on my chest is becoming more intense, like someone won't get off of it. Something feels like it is grabbing a hold of my heart and squeezing it. It's painful...it hurts.
And suddenly, my mouth is dry. Dryer than any desert, and my tongue is slowly coating into a disgusting sandy stoned taste. But that taste is suddenly gone, and I can no longer taste anything! Do I even have a tongue anymore? Oh no, that squeezing in my chest, my heart is being crushed, now my neck, head, and cheeks are starting to become hard and stiff. I feel like my insides have dried up and I can't even feel the lump in my throat anymore. It was just there! I swear it was. My lips, I don't feel them anymore and now my whole head is heavy and i can't move my neck. I am barely able to blink my eyes but...and now...now it feels like something is in my eye! Get it out! Someone save me! I...I can't see anymore. Stone has formed over my iris, my pupils, my...now I'm completely blind. And I feel this aching in my head. My brain is shutting down, oh no...Oh no my heart is...is......~silence~
(Yes, a gruesome ending)

2. Colin Creevy- Petrified November 8, on his way to the hospital wing. He saw the basilisks eyes through his camera.
3. Justin Fitch-Fletchley- Petrified December 18 saw the basilisks eyes through nearly headless nick in a corridor.
4. Nearly Headless Nick- Petrified December 18. He saw the basilisks full on, but as he was dead already he couldn’t be killed.
5. Hermione Granger- Petrified on May 8th on her way back from the library looking up stuff about the attacks. She saw the basilisks eyes with the pocket mirror when she was looking around the corners with Penelope Clearwater.
6. Penelope Clearwater- Also petrified on May 8th, also seeing the the eyes with Hermione’s pocket mirror.
7. Moaning Myrtle- Okay, so she was never really petrified she was killed. Sometime in the spring of 1943 when she saw the eyes of the basilisks eyes in the sink, killing her.

Part 3
Decribe how it would feel if YOU were the person to be petrified. What would you think, does it hurt, etc. You can either be saved right before you are transformed, be partially petrified, or completely. Must be 200 words (10 pts) If I were petrified, I would have been completely petrified and like Hermione I would have seen the eyes in a mirror. Although I would not have been carrying it around for protection I would have the mirror to let other people use it, as people always seem to ask me for a pocket mirror. While petrified it wouldn’t hurt at all. Why? Because I would be numb, not being able to feel anything in other words. I would just lay still all day, which would be boring. Making me completely bored out of my mind. So I would lay there the whole time and listen to people talk to me and tell me that they miss me, while I would wonder when is the potion going to be ready as I would be almost dead of boredom anyway. So when they finally did get me unpetrified I would be sore all over, because with my luck I would be stuck in an uncomfortable position the whole how ever long I was petrified.

It was raining outside for the third time this week and as usual the students were locked up in the castle. Keelin didn't though, but she was prefect so it was her duty to show a good example to the other kids. Dinner was over and she was helping the Head Boy and Girl get everyone to their respected Tower. Kellin already took away ten points from Slytherin for back talking and assigned detention to a Gryffindor 6th year.

They were doing this as a precaution because of the rumors about the Basilik being let loose in Hogwarts Castle. The last time it was opened was when Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger came to school here, but that was fifty years ago! She sighed, feeling dreadfully tired and went up to retire to her Ravencalw tower, when someone grabbed her hand.

"Philip!" she said shocked, that her boyfriend sneaked out of bed. "You have to be in bed!"

"Shhh..." he whispered. "Come on, have some fun!"

She sighed exasperated, but let him drag her towards a broom closet not far away, until she heard a hissing sound. She gasped and pulled him to a stop.

"What?" he sounded irritated.

"You didn't hear that?" She asked, looking at him as if he was insane.

"NO, I didn't hear-" but he was cut off when he saw a rather large shadow. "Keelin, don't look!" Philip told her, covering her eyes for her. He raised his head to a mirror and saw the Basilik. The rumors were true. The Chamber of Secrets was opened once again. He froze becoming rigid and fell to the floor. Keelin spun around, any trace of the Basilik gone.

"Philip! Philip!" she shouted, dropping to her knees and sking him. "Wake up, you have to wake up!!!" Tears sprang into her eyes and she buried her head into his chest. The teachers found her, by that time she was in a state of shock and Philip...he was petrified.

Part 1

4. The ghost turns a black, smoky grey and has to be moved using a fan if it is petrified.

5. The cure is a mandrake draught, made from mature mandrake leaves.

Part 2

Mrs Norris: She saw the reflection of the eyes in a puddle of water.

Colin Creevy: He was out with his camera and saw the image through the lens, but the film was completely burnt.

Justin Finch-Fletchly: He was walking back to the Hufflepuff common room and saw the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick.

Nearly Headless Nick: He was floating along when he saw it directly, but since he was already dead, he was only petrified.

Hermione Granger: She figured out how the monster was working and what it was so she saw the reflection in a mirror in the library.

Penelope Clearwater: She was the first person Hermione told about the basilisk, so she too, saw the eyes in the reflection of a mirror.

Moaning Myrtle: She didn’t get petrified, but when the basilisk was first released, she died and has haunted the bathroom ever since.

Part 3

As I crept through the halls of Hogwarts to my detention with Professor Snape, I was trembling from head to toe, waiting almost expectantly for the monster to come and bite my nose. Suddenly, at the snap of a twig, my paranoia got the better of me and I turned to see what or who had stealthily tries to ambush me.

I peered through the glass separation between the new corridor and myself. As I stepped forward, I came face to face with a pair of humungous yellow eyes that seemed to bore right through me with the intent to kill. The creature wanted to kill me, I knew that, but I couldn’t move away from it. The eyes were hypnotising me, and I felt a dull ache throughout my body, telling me to keep still so that I could give myself to the monster behind the eyes.

The better half of my brain was telling me to snap out of it, to run away, or to yell for help, belt out curses to scare away the monster. But try as I might, I couldn’t move. Happy that I was indisposed, and thinking that I was indeed dead, the monster slunk away into the shadows, leaving me to keel over slowly, look of shock, horror, terror and disgust etched almost permanently into my face. I had been petrified. And I could move no more, until someone found me and released me. I was doomed to an age of counting sheep to amuse myself.

Rae walked along the deserted corridor towards the Slytherin tower. She was out patrolling the corridors for any students who were out of bed. She stifled a yawn and rounded the corner only to find a first year girl crying.

"What's wrong?" Cher-Rae asked, her sensitive side coming in. "And what are you doing out of bed?"

The girl looked up and wiped at her eyes. "I got lost and then I bumped into someone lying on the floor on the floor below. So, I ran and ended up here."

Rae groaned, she had better investigate. "You're in Ravenclaw, aren't you?"

The girl nodded and Rae sighed. "Go straight down this corridor and turn left, alright?" she watched the girl nod and leave in the direction she was told. "Now to go see about that someone lying on the floor." she muttered.

As she walked the last of the stairs, she stopped and spun around. There was nothing. She could have sworn that she heard a slithering sound or something. She shrugged and countinued down the corridor. It was preety dark, so she ignited her wand.

That's when she noticed the body sprawled out across the floor. Rae let out a gasp and ran over to the person. She had no idea who it was, but it he was in Gryffindor. As she got up to get a teacher, she heard something growl behind her. She spun around and let out a gasp.

"PEEVES!" she shouted. "That was not funny! You scared me- Peeves?" Rae waved her arm through him and got no response. He was just floating there. She looked straight ahead and breifly saw the image of a large snake before collapsing to the ground, eyes wide open and a shocked expression on her face

I am walking down the corridors, trying to find my common room, again. I am walking down the corridor, sort of admiring the suits of armour.

The last suit of armour, as I took a closer look at it, could it be..moving? No, thats ridiculous, even though this is Hogwarts, so anything is possible. But I shrug it off and keep walking. All of a sudden I hear a clanking noise behind me. I turn around and its Peeves! "Its a firstie, ohh what fun.!" says Peeves. Now, me, being a first year have never seen Peeves before, and I start shaking. All of a sudden I hear, "Peeves don't let me get the Bloody Baron out here!". I turn around and its a Ravenclaw prefect. Peeves sulks away.

"Thank you." I tell the prefect. "Do you need help finding your common room?" asks the prefect. "No I am fine" I say, and continue on. I turn the corner, and continue walking. After walking for a bit, I hear a swishing noise behind me. I thought "It can't be Peeves again.", but I turn around and check anyway. I don't see anything. But just to be safe, I 'round a corner behind another suit of armour. And to my shock, I see two eyes in the suit of armour.. and fall to the ground.
