Leaning over her journal she began to concentrating on her work, biting her lip the whole time.
‘Ok so I’m 11 just now so my physical transit is...I!’ She turned to her book to look up what that ment.
“Professor my physical transit is I, could this link to me leaving home and moving to Hogwarts? I’ve been really moody lately because I didn’t want to leave home, and I was stressed getting all of my things ready. And when I got to Hogwarts I was really excited, but I’m still feeling a bit homesick. Could it mean that I need to learn how to be away from home, but not miss it so much?” She really hoped she was right. "Yes, I do believe it could mean that. Excellent assessment." Quote:

She bit her lip and hoped that it made sense, it certainly spilled from her mouth easy enough. "Well, it sounds to me like a great deal of it fits. And the rest will probably just come with time. Be patient." Macadrian winked before turning her attention to the next student.

"Professor?" he called rather quietly raising his had "Umm... I got part of it but I don't think this really corresponds to me." he said with-out any hint of confidence in his voice.this was stupid he had to ask the Professor, who he just met desiphire something about himself... "Umm... i mean there isn't anything health-wise that is wrong with me...at least i don't think there is. and i don't understand what it means when it says that, There will be improvements in my carrer due to sensitivity and my diplomacy. How would sensitivity & negotiation help me in school?" he said looking at Professor Shackleton in hope of a straight answer. "As I mentioned to your classmate, not everything may fit the first time around. Remember that these transits cycle throughout one's life, so if pieces don't apply now, they might the next time they cycle again. And just because there isn't anything wrong with you at this instant, doesn't mean your health cannot change over the course of a year, though I certainly hope it doesn't. And sensitivity and diplomacy could definitely help you in school - professors recognize these things as signs of maturity and may look favorably upon you when they need a leader for the students."
She addressed the class, "I think that's enough for today. Here is your homework,"
Macadrian flicked her wand and the following appeared on the blackboard:
