Admittedly, Junia wasn't the best at Transfiguration. It was extremely interesting and all but when it came to actually performing the spells, well, she wasn't exactly skilled. Lucky she'd inherited those need to succeed genes, yeah? It meant she'd be working particularly hard to keep up with her classmates, especially if it meant doing something as awesome as learning to be an animagus some day.

The fact that the Ravenclaw boy seated next to her seemed knowledgeable on the subject was promising. The second year nodded seriously while he gave his answer, agreeing with everything he said, obviously. Yes, exactly, she definitely knew all those things, too.

...Well most of them, anyway.

"Your animagus isn't necessarily an animal you'd pick for yourself, but one that represents aspects of who you are as a person." Yes, that. "Like, maybe I'd want to be a hummingbird, but am more likely to be a cat because of my personality."
