"I am Professor Kingsley and I will be your instructor. Some of you have written rather interesting things on your parchments, and, returning students, I must remind you that Gamp's Laws have not ceased to exist since last term. Please remember that when you are hypothesizing about possible transfigurations."
Clasping his hands behind his back, he continued. "New students, some of you have great imagination, but unfortunately some of what you suggested is not possible. I won't lecture today on Gamp or the Principle Exceptions, but do remember than you cannot create food. You can only multiply it once you have some. You cannot create or duplicate money. You cannot create love. You cannot create life or reverse death. You cannot create items with magical properties."
Flicking his wand at the board, the list of things you cannot do with Transfiguration wrote themselves on the board.
"That said, today we will be focusing on what you can do." He began to pace. "I had a different series of courses planned over the summer, but the events of the Triwizard Tournament have altered my plans some."
Stopping at the top of the circle of desks, he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "It was suggested to me that Transfiguration was not a practical discipline mostly. After all, why would you need to turn a matchstick into a needle? Or a rat into a water goblet? Or a chicken into a pillow?"
"What might be some everyday useful applications of transfiguration? How can transfiguration make your life easier?"
HEH. Fletcher knew better than to try to transfigure something into food. Silly children. Trix are for kids! And the Triwizard Tournament was only for awesome folk like himself! Awesome folk who totally knew the answer to this question.
"Proooooofesssa," Fletcher answered with the tone of a very patient, wise guru explaining the key to happiness, "transfiguration is quite possibly the most useful subject. Ever. It can be used for everything, from the moment you wake up and put on the wrong shaped or colored sock. Transfigure it and boom, you're on your way. Perhaps your desk chair isn't comfortable enough in your office. Transfigure it. Boom. All's better.
"And as my classmates have said... perhaps you're bored, sitting in a meeting at the Ministry. Transfigure two plain ole briefcases sitting on the desk and BOOM, you're the office hero for entertaining everyone with a giant chicken fight. Transfiguration is TOTALLY a useful, practical subject."
