He thought as he leaned his head on his hand and waited for class to begin. "Good morning," Preston said as he nodded at the boy, a bit distressed at the apparent fatigue. "Don't forget to go grab your supplies,' he said, gesturing to the pile of leaves and branches. Quote:

Preston raised an eyebrow and gave a nod as the young man entered.
The students seemed inordinately fatigued. This did not bode well for the final. Quote:

And while she tried to force herself not to care so much about her final grades, she just couldn't do it. Regardless of how stressed she was over her father's well-being, she just couldn't go and fail all her exams on top of it. It would really just add even more stress she didn't need.
So here she was, taking a few deep breaths before she entered the classroom. "Hello, Professor," she said, managing a smile. She quickly read over the instructions on the board, trying not to freak out over the words final exam, then took a branch and leaf from the pile and sat at one of the desks. Preston grew increasingly worried. Such stress among the students, and so apparent, physically, as well. Quote:

Which, distracted her so much that she almost missed the floor she was supposed to get to. Oops! Pffft, not the seventh floor. However, Evelyn finally made it to the classroom, in good spirits. "Good day, Professor Ruff...Kingsley." Maybe in too much a good spirit. Meep!
Hurriedly setting her bag down at a desk, the Slytherin glanced towards the board just as she sat down before sighing and standing back up again. Meh. Branch, and leaf. Whyyyyy?? Preston's eyebrow quirked as the slytherin addressed him. Ruff?
Hmmph. Quote:

Anyway, he stepped inside as if nothing happened, "Professor Kingsley! Good day Sir!" he said, a wide smile on his face. Because this time will be different, he could tell. And it better be.
The boy took a branch and...only one leaf? How come one? Er, yeah, then he took a seat. And there was some energy! "Good day, Mister Lockhart!"
Someone, at least, seemed excited for class. Quote:

Preston's worry began to dissipate as more cheery students entered the room. Perhaps it was only a few in the end of term doldrums. Quote:

"Good morning, Professor," Jenny greeted Professor Kingsley as she picked up a branch and a leaf. She quickly sat down in a seat. "Good morning," he offered. Quote:

She eyed them curiously before taking a seat. Boy was she nervous!
"Hello Professor Kingsley," Alice said, her voice shaking slightly. "Hello," he said, willing his tone to be encouraging. "We'll begin soon," he added, watching her eye the leaf. Quote:
Originally Posted by Yourenodaisy Emmaleigh headed up to the transfiguration classroom a little out of breath. Even after an entire school year, she still managed to get lost on her way here. The poor girl had to practically run to get here on time. She entered, and took a seat close to the front of the classroom, and panted "good morning, Professor." She looked up at the board, and noticing she needed a leaf and branch, she got up to get them. "Good morning," he said, puzzled at her lack of breath. Quote:

Didn't the Professor's know it was too nice a day outside to be stuck in a classroom doing school work? Not only that it was almost the end of term.
Leaving the window and the clear blue sky, Mia stepped inside the classroom. She held up her two fingers in the 'peace' sign as she passed the Professor. "Hey Professor Kingsley." She said by way of greeting before picking up a branch and a leaf and heading to a desk up the back.
That way she was unlikely to be called on to show how sad her magic abilities were. Eyebrow quirked yet again, he watched the girl flash a peace sign with a sort of bemused expression on his face.
"Hello," he stressed, in response to her hey. Quote:
Originally Posted by Destiny Destiny was totally ready for the Transfiguration lesson and final. Yup! She had spent at least ten minutes studying right before she made it to the sixth floor, so all the information was fresh in her mind. She wasn't going to be like those Ravenclaws..up all night studying. She liked to sleep too much for that.
Shoving her notes into her bag, she entered the classroom, taking notice of the room's set-up. "Hello, Professor Kingsley!" she greeted before giving a shifty look towards the back of the room. "I think someone is playing a prank on you. They put trees in here." You know, just stating the obvious and all. "It wasn't me, though!" she added quickly before skipping off towards the empty desk near Evelyn..'s bag.
Where was she..there! "Pssssst! Evelyn! Grab me a branch and leaf, too!"
Apparently the trees were not a prank. "A prank, Miss Shepard? I pity the student who thinks they'd like to try something like that," he added, seriously.
He gestured to her seat, shaking his head at her immediate denial. "Guilty conscience?" Quote:
Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl "Lo, professor," Fletcher quietly greeted Kinglsey as he entered the classroom. He paused at the threshold, as usual, and read the board, then obediently headed to the knotty-branch and leaf section.
He picked out a thick, gnarly branch and a fluffy leaf and then took a seat near that Hufflechick Mia. He knew she didn't like him; that just made class a little more interesting.
Hopefully they would get to set these things on fire. HEHEHEHEH. "Good day," he said a little exasperatedly. After the first lesson, Professor Kingsley was concerned about how the Champion would handle his final. Quote:
Originally Posted by Canoir Greengrass Freya walked into the Transfiguration classroom. She couldn't believe that today was her third Transfiguration lesson and final. She was already preparing herself for the final. She took a few deep breath before she greeted Professor Kingsley. "Hello. Professor." she said greeting the transfiguration Professor. She read the instruction from the board. The Slytherin proceed to take one branch and one leaf before made her way to her seat. Preston smiled and nodded. Quote:

Even then, the girl could get her own stuff. "Lazy."
Pfft. Smirking, Evelyn continued towards the 'Everyone go GREEN' area, and picked up two leaves first. Why the leafs? Because they weren't the size of her, that's why. The branches on the other hand...Holy Merlin.
Sighing, she picked one up first, the smallest of the bunch from the looks of it...O__O! Yea, okay. One was enough. She just, had to get, another one, EESH! Lugging two branches quickly back to her desk, she placed one on her own and...
..kinda threw the other to Destiny's desk. It was heavy! Jeezo. Preston sighed, watching them. Exhausting, those two. Quote:

She sure hoped that she didn't pass out...she was feeling a bit light headed. "H-h-h-h-hello professor," she said bowing more than a few times in greeting. Yep, she sure hoped she didn't faint.
But then, she saw a familiar sight and it was enough to make her forget the whole wilderness set up they had going on at the moment. Clearly, survival techniques using transfiguration. Kurumi was probably going to smash a few more worms before the night was out. Darting across the room, Kurumi made her way next to Jenny and flopped herself down next to her. "Hi," she whispered picking up a leaf and then wearing it as a hat just like Totoro would do. "No need to be nervous," Preston whispered as she stuttered, leaning down to her, slightly. "You'll be fine." Quote:

Now she was glad she had decided to come to class today. After reading the directions on the board she went over to grab a leaf and a branch. She then looked back over towards Jimmy and noticed he didn't have either of the items. Being a good girlfriend she grabbed a leaf and a branch for him too.
Sitting next to him she put the items on his desk. "Thought you could use these," she said. She then looked around the room and seen her other friends there. Oops, how had she missed seeing them in class when she first walked in?
Oh right, because she only had eyes for a certain 'Claw at the time. Preston shook his head as the girl collected materials for the Ravenclaw, as well. "Hello," he said, in response to her greeting.
------------
"Alright," he said, shutting the door and making his way to the front. "Today, we're going to add a few more skills to your repertoire before putting them all together for your final."
Standing in front of the class, hands clasped behind his back, he surveyed the room.
"If you were stranded in the woods, with no hope of rescue until morning, what might you need to survive the night?"
