History[]
During the1988–1989 school year atHogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,ProfessorMinerva McGonagall taught herfifth-years how to perform this particulartransforming spell inTransfiguration class during theoutdoor celebration of magic. She taught the lesson outside in theClock Tower Courtyard, due to the stink that skunks produced.[1]
During the celebration, whenGilderoy Lockhart began to severely annoyJacob's sibling after he insisted to continue doing friendlyduels with each other, Jacob's sibling used this spell to create a skunk, which then sprayed Lockhart, causing him to smell foul and finally leave.[1]
This spell was also capable of transfiguring afeather duster into askunk. During the1989–1990 school year, whenWilfred Levi Kidd attempted theFeather Duster to Ferret spell, he confused it with this spell and turned the feather duster into a skunk instead.[2]
