Fallon watched in shock as Professor Lupa continued screaming as she stepped inside the cage. Maybe the potion isn't working. Fallon thought to herself. That can't be though. Because if it wasn't Professor Kazimeriz and the headmaster would know. Wouldn't they? She sat and contemplated this, hoping the Professor Lupa would be okay.

Then her robs started to rip apart. Then her fangs started to show. Fallon watched in amazement and horror.

Lyra was having the urge to run away towards...anywhere but the front seat. But at the same time, she was fascinated by what was happing and wanted to see how it was like to transform in to a werewolf , and how many time do you get to see that? probably none.
Lyra watched with concern, horror and fascination to what was happing. Thankfully the professor was in the cage but the screams were heartbreaking. Lyra's eyes widened with shock when she noticed that she was getting fangs . 'ooooh pleeeasseee let the cage be strong enough'

Jack couldn't take his eyes off of Professor Lupa. He'd never seen anything like it and that was saying a lot, because he'd seen some things that were out of this world strange. He forgot all about taking notes as he watched the transformation. It was fascinating and repulsive at the same time. He could only imagine the pain.

Sarah didn't know what to think as she sat and watched the most awful thing ever.4 years ago,before she found out she was a witch,this was the sort of thing she thought only existed in horror movies.Professor Lupa had explained to them how much pain she went through in the transformation,but nothing could have prepared Sarah for the actual event...seeing it happen.Surely the potion was meant to help with that pain,help her keep her mind her own after she became werewolf? But she didn't look like it was helping.There was nothing that indicated to Sarah that Professor Lupa was still in there somewhere,she looked wild and hungry.This worried Sarah so much she felt the need to speak out.Turning in her seat she looked up to where the professors were stood,an scowl on her face. "Professor Kazimeriz?,Professor Lawson? Can't you do something to help her? Is she meant to be in that much pain,I thought the potion helped with that." Maybe she had spoken out of turn,but she would worry about that later.

"I'll take you back. No, I didn't brew it. Kazimeriz..." he explained as she was still asking questions, but he was cut off by her scream. He shuddered at the sound of it. He remembered the last transformation he'd seen (she must care for him a lot, he realized) and it was rather horrible, but she hadn't screamed quite like that. But then again, he'd only seen the one transformation and you couldn't always judge based on one viewing. He still gripped the bars as he watched, alert for any sign that he might have to conjure that screen. Educating the students was all very well and good, but he also needed to consider Less.

The potion hadn't worked as a pain killer... maybe it would still work, letting her control her own mind... but she could feel it slipping away already. No... she needed to tell the headmaster! But all she could do was scream as the transformation set in.

Her dark green robes began to rip and pull at the seams and her fangs, how filling her elongated mouth, were salivating for her next meal.

This was definitely more painful than the transformation he'd witnessed last month. Pepe checked the locks again (he was outside the cage) and then stepped back. She must have been trying to tell him something about the potion and if it wasn't working properly, then standing within reach of the cage would be a bad thing.

"As you can see and hear, the transformation can be quite painful," he said, talking to the assembly over the noise, but not taking his eyes of Less. "Please feel free to leave the room if you must."

Jack was really tempted to leave the room, but he knew that he had to stay the course. If he was going to work with his father, he'd have to learn to face his fears, and to face things that were extremely unpleasant or even down right disgusting.

Jack kept his attention focused on the cage. His heart went out to Professor Lupa. To reveal yourself like that...now that took courage. He would find that kind of courage within himself, too.

Dani let out a whimper. She wanted to run up there and give the professor a big hug. Hugs made everything better. But hugging a werewolf was not recommended. She closed her eyes tightly and rocked back and forth. It always hurt her when she couldn't help people who were in pain.

She really wanted to leave. To just get up and run out of the hall after Celandine, but something made Kiri stay regardless. She felt fear and anger and pity for the howling woman in the cage, but she also wanted to see this assembly through to the end. It was clear that something had gone wrong in the teachers' planning. Maybe the potion, which - according to Professor Kazimeriz - was so desperately tricky to make, hadn't been brewed perfectly. The potion... Kiri could still taste it on her lips, and it was still as icky as before, but Kiri understood very well now why no one would spend even a second thinking about that when the alternative was something like Professor Lupa was going through right before her very eyes.

And Kiri was glad for the solid metal bars of the cage. The Wolfsbane might suppress the werewolf's violent urges, but Professor Lupa was still terribly scary. Her eyes were huge and gleamed madly. Her teeth lengthened visibly as Kiri watched, and her robes were being torn apart as her body changed shape. Kiri clung to the bench even more tightly, trying to make sense of the kind Professor Lupa she saw around the school every day and the werewolf rattling the cage's bars in front of her.

Vanessa hadn't really felt that scared before. But now she was. Poor Professor Lupa looked in so much pain, and she felt really scared for her. Was she going to be okay? Hadn't the potion worked? She glanced along the bench she was sitting on, noticing that Professor Morgan was sitting furthur down the bench, near where Clifford was. She offered her favourite teacher a small smile, hoping that it was obviously that she was scared.
She looked back up towards the front of the great hall, twisting her hair around her finger. Surely everything would be fine.

Kazimeriz was already on his feet and at the cage before the student could even speak. His expression was unreadable; his wand was in his hand.

"Alessia... my pet..." he crooned in a soft, almost loving tone to the professor-turned-beastie. And then she screamed.

Kazimeriz disregarded Reynard's comments, all his attention focused on the beautiful creature in the cage. He watched her in a detached, clinical silence, paying close attention to her transformation, taking in every nuance of her experience.

And then she started screaming.

Cam watched from his front row seats, hearing her... inhuman scream and just from her scream he already knew how much pain she was suffering. And to think, she'd been under this much pain for yeaaars and yeaars?! YEWOUCH.

He stopped nibbling on his chocolate frog and didn't dare to close his eyes in case he missed something.

Though... he was still EXTREMELY scared of what could have happened, he and the other 2nd years had gotten front row which meant if something did go wrong, she'd attack the first and second years fiiiiirst. That cage was strong, right? It was charmed right? Yet in all fearness, he didn't want to leave at all. No he did noooot.

Feel free to leave? Pfft he took on screeching Merpeople, this type of screaming seemed normal to him already. He continued to watch in a blank expression.

If you'd ever heard someone you love scream out in pain, you'd know the fear that was quickly welling up inside Iliana. She'd known for sometime about Less' condition but had never actually witnessed her transform. Maybe this was why. To see her friend in this much agony was almost too much for her heart to bear.

Not wanting to alarm the children, Iliana tried her best to remain seated. When the need to move became too much for her, she rose from her seat and shuffled out of the row into the aisle. And there she stood, with a look of pure fright upon her face. "Headmaster..." Her voice wavered as a single tear rolled down her cheek.

"Stay back, Miss Morgan." Kazimeriz murmured just loud enough for the Care of Magical Creatures professor to hear. "For the love of Merlin, stay back."

Ethan caught the Ravenclaw girl by the shoulders as she bumped into him then let her go, wondering briefly at the expression on her face before disregarding her and focussing all his attention on the cage at the front.

Probably Celandine had the right idea leaving...

But it was hard to tear his eyes away. Though his expression did not betray the slightest hint of emotion, Ethan was stricken to see someone suffer so. Had Kazimeriz intentionally messed up the potion for the sole purpose of educating the students? Surely not.

Ethan's wand hand twitched as he watched, his eyes flicking around occassionally at the students in the great hall.

He stayed by the door at the end of the aisle.

This was SCARY.

Even manly men like him were allowed to be scared of WEREWOLVES. The way Professor Lupa kept screeching.. Clifford didn't want to listen. Nor could he watch.

Covering his ears, the Head Boy squeezed his eyes shut.

Peek.

Iliana nodded; the movement of her head causing fresh tears to fall. Taking a deep breath, she could feel heart beating hard against her chest. Kazimeriz was right. There was nothing she could do. Nothing she could do but watch.

Dani jumped off the bench, having decided to leave. Professor Truebridge was by the door. "Professor." She whispered, tears stinging her eyes. "I thought the postion was supposed to make it so it doesn't hurt like that." She looked up at him. Her eyes were red from crying. She hated seeing people suffer so much. It was absolutely horrible.

"Something isn't right." Ethan answered, half in agreement, not taking his eyes from werewolf transformation. "Be vigilant. And be brave for Professor Lupa. It hurts her far more than it does those of us watching."

Alessia's head shot back and she began gasping for air. Her body stiffened and her eyes became eerily blank. Little hairs started sprouting from Alessia's face and neck, and claws grew thick and pointy from beneath her manicured fingernails. The most disturbing part was as she screamed now, no sound was heard, but her cheeks ripped apart creating her muzzle.

Her fur was rather matted and dark from the sweat of the transformation, there was a patch of fur missing from her, and a scar that looked as if a butcher had tried to hack her to pieces... that was where she was bitten. Her ribcage changed in shape, and you could hear the bones cracking and readjusting. Hairs were sprouting from under the robes and covering every inch of skin. Her ears pointed upward and her legs became less straight. They were thick thighs now, and thin anckles.

The screaming stopped, and the wolf was panting now... she turned up and saw the children with her blue eyes and howled loudly at the bewitched ceiling sky.

She dropped to all fours, a more comfortable position, and she raised her back, hairs standing straight up, and a low sinister growl was coming from her salivating mouth.

She was hungry...

Dani nodded and then jumped as Professor Lupa howled. "Can I stand here with you?" She asked him. She felt safer there then on a bench with everyone else. "Please." She didn't like it. The Professor growled. Kinda like Petri when he was hungry. The thought was not a pleasant one.

The hands covering his ears couldn't keep that sound out.. Clifford jumped when he heard an ear-splitting howl. Oh noes. Oh noes.

WEREWOLF ALERT!!

And and and ... OH DUDE. He totally just peeked at the wrong time!

It wasn't Professor Lupa in that cage anymore.. nope. Oh gawd.

Blinking her long eyelashes, Evolette found that she couldn't bring herself to look away from the Ancient Runes Professor. It was rather a good thing that she was in the back towards the 7th Years, even if she wasn't one yet, she was quite tall.

Her eyes shot to Professor Morgan, who looked as if someone had just run over her pet kitten with a Muggle car. She looked so sad. She very briefly heard Professor Cutie Truebridge speaking to another student, and then there was a growl coming from Lupa, and her eyes shot back to the changed Professor.

Poor Professor Lupa. Evolette pursed her pink lips, trying to make it look like she wasn't as freaked out as she was. Not for herself so much as for the Professor. But, she stayed put. If Lupa agreed to do this, she must want them to learn something from it.

Whilst she was looking forward although she was still trying to look away, Vanessa noticed someone moving out of the corner of her eye. She looked around, to see that Professor Morgan was standing in the aisle. She looked really worried. Vannie felt very tempted to get up, and give the Professor a hug, but she thought it was probably best just to stay where she was. For now anyway.
That was confirmed when the werewolf Professor Lupa had transformed into howled. Eeep.

Jack felt as if all of his hair was standing on end. What a gruesome sight. Pulling his eyes away from the cage, he resumed taking notes, but his eyes flickered back to the cage almost every second. Professor Lupa didn't seem in control at all. Perhaps somebody had messed with her potions? Who would want to put the Professor through this? Transforming was obviously painful enough, but to deal with that primal hunger....did the Professor have an enemy?

Becca STARED. For probably her first time at Hogwarts... she was afraid. Her mouth hung open and she watched the Ancient Runes professor with wide eyes. She had never liked the woman, solely for the reason that she abhored her class, but this was something Becca would never have even wished upon her. It was a horrible, horrible sight.

Her eyes flickered around to the different professors, noting the concern and worry on all of their faces, then gazed back up at Lupa. There was this hungry, frightening look in the werewolf's eyes. Maybe Cela had the right idea to leave and avoid being dinner.

She gripped her wand deep in her robe pocket, ready for something to go wrong. The cage to break, someone to do something stupid... Becca was preparing herself for the worst. It was the only way she'd feel safe without following Cela out and being a coward.

This was just not right.
