Daniel had progressed from nearly understanding what Transfiguration was to now reading advanced theory books during his seven years at Hogwarts. He'd even go so far as to say that this was one of his top three favorite classes.

Unlike some of the other students who were disappointed that they couldn't wear their Halloween costumes, Daniel was relieved that he had to wear his uniform. Every year around Halloween, he was reminded of his Cinderella costume, which Lisa had persuaded him to wear to match her. It was a memory he'd like to Obliviate. (or so he says)

The Hufflepuff entered the classroom, his textbook clutched to his chest, and the first thing that drew his attention was the dog standing where the professor usually stood, motioning toward the blackboard. An Animagus. This was the professor. Daniel greeted him with a nod and moved to a seat at the front. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the movie posters on the wall as he finished setting up his desk.
