Ella recalled one time before in the Triwizard tournament many years ago. "I briefly remember, professor.. there was a candidate from Durmstrang named Victor Krum? He was a Quidditch player too," she said cheerfully, "When they had to do the underwater task, he transformed partly into a shark."

Feeling pretty happy with herself, she continued, "What about bringing inanimate things to life, professor? And werewolves like Lupin? Would they count as partly human transfigurations? Well.. turning into a werewolf isn't by will.. never mind." she asked curiously. Transfiguration was her favorite class.
