ALAS.

There was a sticker... on Adrienne's forehead. She was incredibly not okay with the fact that there was a sticker on her forehead, nor with the fact that the teacher's fingers were uncomfortably sweaty, as she'd felt when he touched her forehead. To stick on a sticker. Because there was a sticker there now.

"Um, no thank you," she said, grimacing slightly as she peeled the sticker off and crumpled it up. Stickers were for children, and they particularly did not belong on. People's. Foreheads.

Adrienne pulled herself together in time to listen to the myth 'Apollo' was telling, which was one that she'd heard of before, but never in very much detail. And mostly the part about the hospitality, less the part about them turning into trees. Treeeeees. Why did so many myths end with people turning into trees? She supposed it was some disgusting notion of a romantic finish, but honestly, Adrienne would rather be spared the tree-fate, even if she were in love. Better of dying like a normal person, and being buried.

"Well, Transfiguration, obviously," she said, in response to the question. That much was easy enough- the rest of the branches of magic had nothing to do with permanent or semipermanent transformations. (Except sometimes potions, but she doubted that the mighty Zeus did any potion-making.)

"Um, I'd imagine it has quite a bit in common with the process of becoming an Animagus?" There would of course be some major differences, but the idea was the same. Adrienne tried to remember what she'd read about Animagi... There was a whole chapter on them in an old Human Transfiguration book she'd found in the library last year. "Maybe not quite as complex, 'cause you don't ever turn back and a tree's mental capacities are pretty limited, but essentially they're pretty similar. A complete transformation of a human into another living thing."
