Yup. It was stuck in her head.
Hateya put her hand up, "You made it a chainsaw to defend yourself against gravity cows!" Shaw laughed nervously.
Gravity cows sounded not only familiar, but deadly serious and dangerous. "I did?" Good to know. Quote:

And it was sort of ironic to turn a WOODEN DESK, into a CHAINSAW. "We are here to learn transfiguration, which is using magic to turn one object into another. Such as an cup to a rat." Or a desk to a chainsaw. Shaw grabbed up his half-eaten cup nervously. "You watch yourself now! Rats are filthy! WHY would you need a rat? Cups are useful; rats are not." Quote:

"A chainsaw is a mechanical saw that can be carried around and it used mostly for cutting down trees and wood. I am guessing you changed the desk so you could show us how awesome transfiguration is and transfiguration is turning an object into something else." ...awww.
Awww.
Shaw had the urge to turn his music back on and rock himself to sleep after this one spoke.
"Well...put. I think. Well said." What HAD she said again? Quote:

When the large object, whatever it was, roared to life, Sierra instinctively drew her wand just a little. She glanced down and saw it was poking out her holster, so she shoved it back in and then stared at the roaring object. "Transfiguration is changing the way something looks," she said, her hand raised. Although, could he even hear her? Could she even hear herself!? "...and you just pretty much marred a perfectly good chalk board." ...and why was she here?! Now that was a question she'd love to have answered, as well... "Marred?" Shaw turned halfway around, always keeping one eye on the students and the door, but looked at this marring. "All's I see is my name up there. Looks pretty good, too. S's are hard to do with a chainsaw." Quote:

"Don't ever think your enemy is smarter than you." Or on second thought, "or is it always assume they're smarter than you? Regardless, just do what I say when I say it and there's a good chance no one will get hurt." Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack If we got attacked!?! WHAT? Nika stared at the teacher with her mouth agape.

What's this guys problem anyways? *cough* Anger management issues *cough* "Well, just shaw, I don't think chainsaws are good for anything. People use them to cut down trees, but that's not good because we should love our planet!" Nika said proudly. "We should love it, not destroy it." Mr. Chainsaw "just shaw" was very different from normal teachers. "Because you felt like being violent?" Or that he wanted them to remember his name either one should work. "We're here because it's a required course at this school!" Exactly. "It's a subject we have to take." Very literal meanings. Shaw nibbled his cup thoughtfully. "You got some pretty strong and high O-pinions there. Care to put your money where your mouth is?"
He bit off another piece of cup and spit it in the floor. Quote:

She slowly raised her hand and answered each question. It's a good thing she grew up in the Muggle world, so what a chainsaw was wasn't difficult to answer. "A chainsaw is used to cut trees. It is mechanical and powered by electricity - at least in the Muggle world."
Tayla continued with the next question. "Erm...S..Sh..Shaw, I think you changed that desk to a chainsaw because...well, you're the transfiguration teacher. And maybe...you like chainsaws?"
Tayla tried to stop the quiver in her voice and answered the final questions a little more bravely. "We-we're here to learn the art of transfiguration, w-which is changing the form of an object and making it appear as something else. It includes v-vanishing of objects as well."
Tayla inhaled deeply, realising she was holding her breath. "Gas," Shaw corrected, "this puppy runs off of GAS-O-LINE." For a moment, Shaw got that crazy twinkle in his eye like he MIGHT fire up his saw once again.
But it went away as fast it came and Shaw was left looking generally confused as to where he was and why that girl was looking at him and breathing funny. Quote:

Did he not know he could possibly cause ear damage? ehmaMerlin. It was terrible. He had no sense of what looked nice at all. Where did this professor get his teaching license? Was he even capable of teaching a class? "A chainsaw thingy is obviously for writing your name up on the board as well as harming our ears," Orabelle said after raising her hand. "You changed it to a chainsaw so you could write on the board and kill our ears, and transfiguration is the process of changing an item to something else as long as if it does not break Gamp's laws of transfiguration," Orabelle finished. The part about the ears was just honestly. She didn't even like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, who would like a chainsaw?
Gosh, this professor... really... he was insane. "Oh I didn't harm your ears. If I harmed your ears you'd know it. I'd know it. It'd be a mess in here." Shaw waved his arm around to indicate no mess. Simply no mess here. "Gamp didn't KNOW crap. You can quote that. Right that down. Gamp didn't know crap."
Shaw laughed. Was he serious? Kidding? Did he even know? Quote:

She silently spoke up, after raising her hand..."Well, that's the purpose of this class, to be trained in order that if in case of an emergency we need some specific artifact we don't have around..." Kinda. She was just too shocked to think about an attack or what was the real reason the professor had done such transformation.
And all that could be seen around them was silence, shock if possible. "If someone attacks, I'm with you. You got your head on your shoulders." Quote:

She was about to say his name again when--when...--WHAT WAS HE DOING?! The crazy man picked up the chainsaw and wrote his name. Onto that very chalkboard. Onto that POOR POOR CHALKBOARD. "Shaw, NOOOOOO!" She shouted dramatically, her begs and pleads drowned out by the noise of the chainsaw.
WHY?!
Hogwarts.
It wasn't a place for friends and fun adventures, BUT A HOME FOR POSSIBLE SERIAL KILLERS.
The girl tried to calm herself down, only getting the jitters, and then decided not to make eye contact with this Shaw. "Uhhh uhh," she started off nervously, "Chainsaws are good for killing." She saw this before. The innocent girl remembered how there was once a professor in a wizarding school, in a Transfiguration class where he played with a chainsaw and then THE CHAINSAW SET LOOSE UPON THE STUDENTS, CREATING A BLOODY MASSACRE.
She'd read it before. She read it all.
Lola tried to regain her confidence back, eyeing this professor with an intense stare. "You changed that desk into a chainsaw because... why wouldn't you?" she questioned with a blank face, "Transfiguration is when you change something into something else! Like take a spoon. I once tried to change my spoon into a fork. But then it turned into a spork."
Lola said it with pride. "Killing? I don't know about that. It could be used for killing, I guess, but it'd be so messy. I don't like messy. I like order. Let's not insult a perfectly good chainsaw." Shaw propped a steel-toed boot up on the chainsaw, the gesture managing to be somewhat affectionate. Quote:

Then girl began to summarize some text.
"M-m-m... To transform one subject into another it is very simple, in case of use and wear process. How to improve subjects gilding... Nevertheless this discipline is m-m-m-mysterious", she sings inside herself kitten melody.
Then she has said loudly: "I love magic music!", and has settled down on comfortable sitting near window. "You like my music? Me too. We'll listen to more soon." Quote:

CHAINSAW'S CUT STUFF, AND SCARE PEOPLE WHEN REVVED UP LIKE THAT DURING A CLASS! WE'RE HERE TO Oakey Paused at this question. Are we here to turn our desks into chainsaws too? he asked Shaw. Oh and Transfiguration is a magic that transforms one object into another. "You're freaking me out, kid."
Shaw took a seat in the floor, cross legged, with the chainsaw sitting in front of him. "You all got the gist of transfiguration, I reckon. You got one thing, frim-fram-froom, then you gotta 'nother thing. You take one thing you have - you make it into something you need. I needed a chainsaw to put my name on the board so I turned the desk into a chainsaw."
Logical, that was. "But you all don't need chainsaws like I do. What's something you oftentimes finding yourself NEEDING but not HAVING? And don't say women, 'cause that is a whole OTHER issue."
"Think about it then you can come up to the board and write down what you NEED today in class but don't have."
In the meantime, Shaw laid down flat on his back and stared without blinking up at the ceiling.
