Rachel had already spoken to the professor on this topic. She knew that the professor wouldn't teach her until she was older, but learning the everything about it beforehand would be helpful anyway. Her old AP classes had made her a quick writer and she wrote everything that was said by the professor and students on the topic. She looked up as the professor turned into her animangus form, and smiled. She was a pretty bird and Rachel hoped that if she was a bird, she'd look as good. Then a thought came into her head, 'Nah, you're probably something like a horse or something that's fast and deadly.' Rachel raised her right hand, while her left hand kept writing. "Professor, so how exactly does being an animangus work? Do you know ahead of time what you'll be, or do you just turn into that animal, then go to a mirror and say, "Oh, I'm a bird. Lovely." or something? I never understood how that worked.

"If you know your personality well enough, you may be able to guess what animal you are, other then that, you find out when you transfigure."

"Ok, I have a couple questions for you, then I will assign homework. First, give me one difference between a transfigured human and an Animagus." Danni said smiling.

Rachel's hand shot up into the air. "With a transfiguration, you do it by a wand and it's advanced, but not as advanced as being an animagus is. But with an animagus, you don't need a wand, you can just do it at will and you have a set animal, whereas with transfiguration, you can take on any form. An animagus is advanced, to the where only few that tempt it actually successed. Also, transfiguration, isn't as personalized as an animagus is. Animagus form is based off of who you are, but transfiguration isn't."

Molly raised her hand to take a guess "Professor, isn't transfiguration a spell and an animagus is a skill you develop to change youself into the same animal over and over? Like you couldn't have a bunch of different animagi, but you could use transfiguration for a bunch of different things."

"Isn't a transfigured human incapable of remembering their own identity and having similar thinking, whereas an animagus retains all sense of self and thought processes?" Kennedy couldn't spit this out the way she wanted.

Danni smiled, "Well, you just told me I'm doing my job well. You are all correct, 2 points to each of you! Now for homework, I want a paragraph (At least four sentences) on Animagi. Pick any angle you want and go for it. Class dismissed."

Rachel smiled. She had finally done something right. She thanked the professor for the great lesson and walked out intent on giving a great homework assignment to the professor. It was almost as though the professor had made a lesson just for her. Oh yeah, this was her favorite class. She waited outside the classroom for Talons to finish packing. This was a good class and she wanted to discuss it with her.

OCC: She's at the lake. Just sit down and start talking to her if you want, if you have any other location in mind PM me.

"Well bye proffessor! This class was awsome!!" said Myra and she left the class.

beck scurried up to the teacher and grabbed her homework. no time to dilly dally, she was already late for her next class. "oh curse it all" she muttered as some of her papers slid to the floor.

Suzy wrote down the homework and packed her things. She hoped one day she could learn to become an animagus.
