"Its not transfiguration, it just means that there's a supply somewhere and the plate is charmed to refill itself!" Pretty COOL really. Char helped herself and waved a piece of shortbread at the professor. "Thanks professor, and hi!"
And whereeeee was she going to sit today!? Refilling charm. SOMEWHERE.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh," he offered in reply, nodding his head and poking at the plate with his finger curiously. That was some nifty magic that he would certainly like to learn! "Neat!"
However...Charlotte's words were both reassuring as well as destructive - mostly to the first year's grumbling tummy because the cookies looked GOOD - but ultimately he decided not to take a cookie. Since snacks were allowed though...that meant that he could have a chocolate frog, right? Quote:

At least most of them enjoyed the cookies, though poor Mr Ashburry-Hawthorne seemed rather unsure about the whole thing. Fortunately Miss Kettleburn explained things to him. Hopefully that was reassuring though it was okay if he continued to be unsure of her snacks; constant vigilance and all that.
When her watch showed that it was time for class to begin, she headed the door and closed it. Anyone who arrived after this point would lose points. Something that Rosalyn never liked doing, but it was important for students to be on time so that they could learn and not interrupt the rest of the class. "Good morning everyone," she said as she made her way over to the blackboard. "I will start the lesson by asking: what do you all know about Hogwarts? It can be anything at all. " Rosalyn always liked to start off by seeing how much they knew about the subject matter, and she was sure that they could come up with some great facts about the school that they attended. Taking his seat finally, Derf fished out a chocolate frog from his pocket and set it on his desk. He also accidentally pulled out the small box of dead flies he had collected for Scamander and had set that down next to his chocolate frog just as the professor began the lesson.
And holy flaming salamanders that was a BROAD question. Like...really REALLY broad. Was he meant to talk about everything he knew? Because...this was going to take a while. Just saying...
Alright..hand up! Selective information time based on what he had pulled from chocolate frog cards!
He assumed that since she had said Hogwarts specifically that she meant the castle and not...the grounds too...which made his knowledge a tiiiiiiiiiny bit limited because now he couldn't talk about creatures so much.
"The castle its-s-self was-s-s conceptualized by an architect and Rowena Ravenclaw. I fink she came up wiff the ever-changing floor plan...and the moving staircases..." he said to start. "Some fint that the cas-s-stle has s-soooooome form of sentience or awareness too!" There were some historical references to this somewhere, but he couldn't remember them at the moment. He WANTED to bring up the Chamber of Secrets, but since Professor Newton had been the one to rain on his parade...he refrained....but he had ANOTHER series of chambers as it were that he was curious about. "Profes-ss-ssor? Are the seven chambers s-s-still there? The ones meant to protect the Philos-sopher's-s S-S-Stone?"
RIGHT. He was going to open his chocolate frog up now. Yeeeeeees.
