Ok. It was official. Cale had just completely given up hope on this lesson.
Glancing at the professor again, he looked back at him and lowered his voice. "I can't say anything else here. I've probably said too much with this Ministry bloke in earshot. I'll tell you after class," he promised. He knew it wouldn't do him any good to run his mouth in front of Richardson--what if they tried to stop them? What if they prevented the return of Hogwarts? Well, everyone would hate him, that was for sure.
Tancred's head started to hurt. What load of rubbish he and Cale were 'debating' really didn't matter. Surely someone would've had some excuse to why it was alright for tranformation spells to be casted on animals. But who really thought about that? Transforming animals was a common sight to see, and it had been for centuries. Who. Really. Cares.
"I 'thought' that might come up somewhere down the line. I belive that it goes the same with animals as it does with humans. Humans have been tranfigured on just as much as animals an they've turned out alright in the end. Sure, there's the whole size issue there - but it's still the same concept." Merlin! This is complete nonscense.
The seventh year merely shook his head and left it at that. He needed to find out more about this Order of Mane now that Cale had told him the true story with what happened down in the locker room. He would wait. That was no problem having to wait after class to get filled in.
What if this has something to do with bringing back Hogwarts? I mean, the last Order that was around was an army against Lord Voldything. Then there was Dumbledore's Army from way back when. ... Maybe....
