Transfiguration Lesson: TBA It’s a cold, somewhat humdrum afternoon in mid-December. The winter holidays are just around the corner, but don’t let that distract you. There are still a few days of school left before the break, and Professor Carton expects your full attention.
The professor stands in the doorway, waiting to welcome the students. As you step, the first thing you’ll notice is that the classroom is toasty warm in contrast to the cold outside. The second thing is that the setup looks the same yet different. The desks are arranged in rows as usual; the unusual thing is the top hat sitting on each desk. A similar hat sits on a small covered table at the front of the room. “Hello, welcome in!” Professor Carton greets the arrivals. “Feel free to examine the contraption at the front of the room; you may touch it if you wish.”
Upon closer inspections, the students will learn that it’s not an ordinary hat on an ordinary table. The hat has a false bottom leading to a secret compartment under the table, hidden by the tablecloth. What could this object be? Only time will tell! OOC: Welcome to Term 62’s Transfiguration lesson! Please keep in mind that while this is the first OOC lesson, your students would’ve had classes with Carton since the start of the term IC. If you haven’t already done so, please read the class rules & expectations. We’ll begin in 24-30 HOURS CLASS HAS STARTED!.
