This would have been Varius second class in which he had attended and he doubted it would be as interesting as Transfiguration was. They wouldn't be eating pastries like Tranfig, no, they would probably be feeding the pastires to some undeserving creatures! Man, Varius was not a huge fan of animals at all unless the were cute, tame and able to be pets. That's his philosophy, word.

However, he did keep in mind that he wasn't sure what animal they would be experiencing today and he made sure NOT to where anything shiny as instructed.
