The sixth floor was officially too far from the nursery ban. Emmeline had gone down to play with Sirius right after lunch, so she'd run all the way from the grounds to the Transfiguration classroom. She had a stitch in her side from running to make sure she'd be on time, and was pleased to see that she was still a few minutes early to class. The first year gave Professor Stewart a BIG smile as she entered the room: "Hi, Professor!" Professor Stewart had become one of Emmeline's favorite teachers for the sole reason that the professor was also looking after a baby boy crup, according to the signs on the crup kennels. She wasn't sure how she felt about the subject of Transfiguration itself yet, and it kind of depended on if they were casting spells on animals that day or not.

The fire pits were pretty cool, and provided a welcome change from the snowy grounds. Emmeline bounced over to the fire pit and plopped down in a seat with Derf, Stasya, and Jessa. "Hi guys!", she greeted with another smile. "What's up with the Extendable Ears?" She was careful to ask that question in a much lower tone of voice, because obviously she didn't want to draw any attention to the string-like Ear trailing out of the window.
