But enough on that, there was homework to do and food to eat. Merlin, did he hate homework. But boy did he LOVE food. If that much wasn't already apparent with the sheer amount he had already managed to eat off his plate. Aheeeem. And Soph had given them a lot of food too.

"Nah, I didn't even do anything," he said grinning at her work. "Bet you knew it, just got jumbled in the presence of all that other stuff you've got up in there," he nodded at that head of hers. Probably was hard trying to remember ALL the things. At least Zander only had to pick and choose from the little that occupied his brain. Sophie Brown though, she had loads up there.

"I guess I'll do the mushroom one too then," for the sake of continuity. He did take a sip from his own goblet, though he didn't chug it's entire contents. Instead he reached across the table to pull over an unused one. "Fungifors!" he pointed waiting for the transformation.

When it didn't happen right away, the Gryffindor drew his wand back into the air and tried again. This time REALLY thinking about the mushroom he wanted to see. Once he drew an invisible 'n' in the air, he tried again, "Fungifors!" Aaaaaaaaaay.

And that is how it's done. "Don't know why anyone would wanna transform things into a mushroom though," at least a quill was useful.

"Yeah, you did," she argued, a big, playful grin spread across her lips as she talked through her mouthful of food. "Nuh uh. I needed YOU. I would've been sitting here forever trying to figure it out." She offered him a nudge and giggled softly, settling down and eating more food as she watched him try his transfiguration attempt.

Also... chugging the whole goblet of pumpkin juice? Yeah. She was feeling that now. Maybe... she needed to slow down a bit. Urgh.

Despite her discomfort, she smiled broadly when he succeeded and gave his arm an encouraging squeeze. "You're better at this stuff than I am." There was actually a bit of truth to that, too, really. Soph might have had him beat in Potions, Astronomy, Ancient Runes, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and probably even Charms... but he had her beat wth this.

That actually... felt really good. Refreshing. She LIKED him being better at her than stuff and beating her at things. She wanted him to be better than her, and GENUINELY, not just the kind when she let him win. No, this was a good feeling.

She loved it.

"Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing. There's no use for a mushroom. Unless you're just tryna change the object into something more harmless. I dunno." She wasn't going to ask questions, though. Magic was just a funny thing sometimes.

...Okay, using her goblet to change into a mushroom hadn't actually probably been the best idea, because now she was thirsty. So... after reverting her quill to its normal state of a pepper shaker - because she didn't want to just CHEAT and revert her mushroom back into her goblet for the sake of the assignment - Soph gave the pepper shaker a long, hard squint and cleared her throat purposefully. One tap, two taps, three with her wand, "Vera Verto!"

A successful attempt, and Soph proceeded to pour herself some more pumpkin juice. "Got it." HIS TURN.
