Bizarre question about chocolate, bleeprin and alcohol by

Right, so in the Harry Potter continuum it is against canon to transfigure foods, but occasionally this happens in badfic. I recently saw one which had a thirteen year old transfigure pumpkin juice into alcoholic chocolate milk for his eleven year old sisters.
My question is: What would happen if you added bleeprin to the pumpkin juice right before the spell was cast? Would the bleeprin be transfigured along with the pumpkin juice? If not, would the resulting concoction explode? -

It would probably depend on how specific the spell was, if the spell was 'turn the pumpkin juice into alcoholic chocolate milk' then any Bleeprin that was also in the glass (or whatever container it was in) would remain unaffected, and react accordingly when it suddenly becomes immersed in alcohol.
If the spell was 'turn the contents of that glass into alcoholic chocolate milk' then any Bleeprin that was already in there would get transfigured at the same time as the pumpkin juice, and so wouldn't react.
I currently don't have my books, so I can't check this, but my impression of the magic in Harry Potter was always that the spells were very restrictive in what they did, and that any major changes (such as the starting form of an object to be transfigured) would require a different spell. That being the case, I would expect the spell you mentioned to specifically target 'pumpkin juice', so yeah, any Bleeprin that gets snuck in first would result in an explosion, although it probably wouldn't be that big.
As a note, I believe that 'Bleeprin' should always be capitalised. -
Well, Bleeprin is a non-canonical substance... by

So I would assume it would remain unchanged since Harry Potter spells would affect canonical creations. That being said, Bleepin + Alcohol = Bad, anyway...

Add Bleeprin, wait for him to transfigure the pumpkin juice in alcohol, enjoy the fireworks. I think that's just the right thing that can happen to a 13-years-old who makes alcohol for 11-years-old girls.
Remember kids, no alcohol until you're 16/18/21/whatever the drinking age is in your country! (And when you are, don't drink too much.) -

Strangely enough he wasn't the Sue of this story, that would be his sister, half wolf and the twin of her half-sister. If I can find it again, I might actually put it on the claimed fic page and deal with it if I get Permission.

You can claim a fic before you get Permission, you just have to note that in the claim.

Thanks for telling me I have to mention that in the claim.
