The latter sometimes made it hard for her to focus, for irritating reasons, but today was not one of those times thanks to the bread and butter that was her Hogwarts career - Transfiguration. The subject was only made better by being held on the upper floors too, though today that perk was a little less important since looking out the window got you nothing more than an abundance of another shade of grey. Still, Sage had situated herself by the window as always and did quietly hope for a flash of lightning during the lesson. Any wizarding fireworks had nothing on those provided by nature.
Flexing and relaxing her tongue while waiting for the lesson to begin, the Slytherin almost found herself enjoying the slimy texture beneath her tongue. Perhaps because it was an indication that the finish line was near so she could literally taste her victory... Was the source of this texture and flavor the source of certain consternations? Denying her participation in certain activities she kept girlishly fantasizing about and feeling more petty and bitter by the moment that she just could not take the risk for a potential setback? Yes, yes it was...but it would be worth it.
Buttons. Right. Buttons in context with conjuration and transformation. The sixth year's thoughts easily honed in on a few concept but...perhaps because she was feeling particularly important this morning...was not particularly inclined to raise her hand. She did, after all, have a certain advantage when it came to knowledge of transformation that Professor Carton was very familiar with so there really was no urge to prove her knowledge. Same, mostly, went for conjuration though without the intimate connection she had compared to transformation. Ultimately, Sage decided that she did have something to offer that may just fuel the number one Transfiguration student narrative her mind had fixated on. Thus, up went her hand along with her posture - which was now impeccably straight and proper.
"Despite being considered the most basic and first branches of Transfiguration we learn at Hogwarts, Transformation is arguably the most complex with three sub-branches, four if you consider general Transformation as its own branch, to its name. Those branches being Trans-Species Transformation, Switches, and Human Transfiguration."
