There was a important question that had been looming in her head. Did this mean she had to stand by her desk until she got permission to sit down? New professor she was going to assume no then.

Walking into the classroom she walked passed the professor, "Good morning professor. These are for you" Handing over the pan of cinnamon rolls. The seventh year nodded and grabbed a red bean. She wasn't much for Bettie botts or jelly beans in general. She found a better use for the beans years ago, tossing them at the suits of armor.

Moving on she looked at for a seat. Waving to Adi and Paulina as she passed. Deciding to sit next to the little lion cub(Charlotte) who obviously (by the look on her face) had gotten something awful. "Bogy? Here take this one, it might counter act the taste." handing her the bean she picked up. Guessing that her red jelly bean was cinnamon. That's why she did get it. It was the only flavor she would eat, of course. She wrote on her nametag.



Tada. She placed the nametag in front of her.


COUGH! SPLUTTER! DRAMATIC FLAILING!

Char took the offered bean and placed it on her tongue like she was taking a pill that MIGHT possibly be a cure (but then again, it might be too late for her, the bogey bean might have had an IRREVERSIBLE EFFECT). But Cinnamon! That WAS nice and strong, though for a second there it had the unfortunate effect of producing a cinnamon MIXED with bogey flavour, but it was a start. MAYBE SHE WOULDN'T DIE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ALL.

She coughed pathetically and fanned herself. "Thanks."

AAAAAnd then she saw the big girl's name tag and GASPED. "Its a cinnamon bean AND your name is cinnamon! That's cool!" HAD THE BEAN BEEN CINNAMON TO START WITH, OR HAD IT TURNED INTO CINNAMON WHEN CINNAMON TOUCHED THE BEAN?

Charlotte made up her mind to test this amazing new theory sometime with OTHER kinds of food.

Charlotte had a BFF radar okay? Despite the near death by bean experience, she perked up at the sight of Davie and gave him a forlorn wave that she did her BEST to convey the message of 'I got a bung bean, Davie and I NEARLY DIED!'.

Or something like that.

UHHOHH the FACES and the flailing, Beatrice realised she had picked out one of the disgusting flavours. She was internally debating about whether to laugh or pick out a nicer flavour. She went over to offer the girl a different bean, trying not to laugh, when another student walked in...

Once all of the greetings had been made, and Beatrice was sufficiently overwhelmed by all of the new faces and names to be remembered, she picked up her wand and waved it nonchalantly at the door, swinging it closed quietly. Another wave of her wand stopped the cello record, and the room was filled with silence.

She placed the bowl of Bertie Bott’s down on her desk, for rewards or just in case anyone else might like another one, and looked back at the class, taking in all of their faces. On her face she wore a welcoming smile. She had thought about what she might like to teach during her first lesson and had decided, rather easily, that she needed to gauge the knowledge of her students. What did they know already? What were their perceived strengths and weaknesses? Was there a spell they were just dying to learn?

“Hello everyone,” she began, her soft Scottish accent drifting around the classroom. “As you know, I am Beatrice York, your new Transfiguration Professor here at Hogwarts. I thought today we could begin a bit low key, and get to know one another.” She pointed at the badge she wore on her shirt, which said Beatrice York. “So… firstly a little bit about me. I attended here many years ago, and I was sorted into the house of Hufflepuff. I developed a strong love of Transfiguration and when I graduated, I went to one of the Wizarding Universities to further my studies in the practice. Since I graduated from there I’ve been a home tutor for younger witches and wizards. And now…” she clasped her hands together, “I am back to the wonderful Hogwarts to teach you all about Transfiguration. Now, to get things started, I’d like to go around the room and have each of you tell the group, and me, something about Transfiguration. It might be something you have learned, something you wish to learn, something you find easy, or something you find difficult. Something you enjoy or something you dislike about Transfiguration. I want you all to say something, anything, and if you’d like to ask as question as well, please don’t hesitate.”

Beatrice reached into the box of instruments, then sat on the chair of the spare desk she had reserved for herself. She sometimes disliked having that bulky desk in front of her, and she rather preferred being at the same level as her students. “I can start.” She knew Transfiguration wasn’t everyone’s favourite lesson, and just how challenging the practice could be, and how much dedication it often took to learn a new spell. Not wanting her students to be expected to love the subject, she decided to share something she had struggled with as a student. She tapped a basic rhythm on the small drum she held in her hand to call attention.

“For me, something I dislike about the practice of Transfiguration,” though really it was the ONLY thing, and it wasn't even something she particularly disliked about it, “Is the precise nature of the practice. One small slip up, whether it be a very slight imprecision of the incantation or the wand movement, and there could be disastrous results.” Did other students agree with her on that one? Enough talking from her, though. Beatrice nodded towards the closest student on the left of her, to try and get things rolling. “What’s something you can share with us about Transfiguration?” she asked.

Right now, above anything, Beatrice wanted the students to feel comfortable speaking in her class, to her, and to their peers. She wanted them to feel somewhat in control of what they were learning, and she wanted to get a feel of their expectations.


OOC: Class has officially started now, so please don't post you character arriving late unless you want to suffer the wrath of Beatrice! Muahaha


Oh and she was getting another bean from the professor! EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL AGAIN! CINNAMON AND PROFESSOR TRANSFIGURATION HAD JUST SAVED HER LIFE! Or at least... oh. Yup. YUP! LIFE SAVED!

"It's TOFFEE!" She announced dramatically, after a cautious lick of her third bean. And toffee and cinnamon in her mouth were FAR better than bogey. And then, "ThaaaaaaaaAaaank youuu professsor!" Char sang (terribly) in the professor's direction.

Aaaaaand jazz hands for effect!

Because of all this, Charlotte was now MORE than ready to actually pay attention to the lesson. Or she'd try anyway. After all, she owed the professor (and Cinnamon) her very EXISTENCE. She sort of wiggled in her chair, which was a subconscious 'I am getting comfortable so that I can listen up good' thing.

Something about transfiguration?

"ProoooooooOOooooooOOoooofessoooooooor! Transfiguration is SUUUUUPER good in duels! You can COOONJURE things to attack or defend!" She just sung a FEW words, selectively, for EFFECT. Heeee!

....

.....

.... also, could she have another bean?
