Skylar beamed when Vivian sat beside her; at least she was taking these studies seriously. Not that her other dormmates weren't - Skylar would have been on the case way too quickly if they hadn't been - but you know, it was nice to have someone close to you to have your back. They helped each other like that.

And now class was starting, about Transformational Transfiguration. Which was ... animagi? Curious look over at best friend and her answer, to which Patrick seemed eager to be on board with. It made sense though, going from the literal translation of the word, which she was grateful for her Latin class more than just for a boy reason now, because it gave her an edge on translations.

But animagi wasn't something that could be taught in one lesson - it took at least a year or more of hard work and training. Didn't it? And Professor Stewart had mentioned about transformation spells, which meant no to animagi. Or at least in the permanent sense, but one could learn spells to temporarily transform themselves as she was she sure she recalled reading about in the Triwizard tournament of 1994.

"Quite literally, transubstantial means across substance, in Latin. Transfiguration is from the Latin, Transfigurare, which is to change figure of. So combined, Transubstantial Transfiguration would mean to change the substance and figure of something. But you mentioned Transformation spells; animagi refers to a more permanent transformation? There are spells used to change temporarily our appearance into something else, yes?"
