The desks in the transfiguration classroom are arranged in neatly paired rows, all facing the front of the classroom. In front is a wide desk made of several student desks pushed together. A closed box sits on this desk, and a chalkboard behind states that class will begin shortly and you should sit down and wait for Professor Svensson, who is not yet present.

On his way, he flicked his wand at the windows so they would open and let in some natural light.

“Good morning, students,” Professor Svensson said rather loudly over the students’ hushed voices as he halted in front of his desk. “We’ll wait a bit longer for stragglers, but please take out something to take notes with.”

Leticia livened up almost instantly, "Good morning, Sir." She said in a rather upbeat voice. Her first lesson in a public school. The girl looked down at her desk, yep, her note-taking materials were already in place. Good.
She sighed a little bit and blinked as some sunlight entered the room.

Gabriella looked up as Professor Svensson strode into the classroom and up front. Giving him a welcoming smile she pulled out a parchment, her quill and ink quietly. Glancing around the room Ella wondered what the lesson would be about and if she would be allowed to try out her wand for the first time.

She picked up her quill and parchment and waited for instructions.

"Whatinthenameofchickendoghnuts?!" Jake gabbled out, as the door opened with more determined abruptness than it had before. Soon enough, the windows behind Jake were being let open. The sudden activity startled Jake, and the small noise seemed magnified after the quietness of the classroom. "ACK!" he yelped, jumping away from the windows and ending up on the floor.

...

Crap.

"Just... getting my stuff," Jake groaned, reaching out for his back to get his parchment, some ink and a quil.

Sydney glanced at the back of the room as Prof. Svensson entered. She quickly followed his direction and was very excited for the lesson to begin, "Hello Professor" She said with a smile.

Leeness · 05-25-2009, 12:16 PM

Varius entered the Transfiguration classroom and took a seat, smiling at the Professor, hoping he wasn't late. Who would have known that it would have been possible to forget where everything was after a whole summer? No matter, he was here now and ready to learn.

Waddles · 05-25-2009, 12:17 PM

Lars glanced in slight concern as a student near the window landed on the floor. "My apologies... I should have warned you before I opened them."

Glancing around at the next of the class, Lars nodded slightly to himself. There. Now there were a few more students in the room. That was plenty for Lars, for he did not want to prolong the start of class any longer. It was time to begin the class.

Walking around his desk so he could get to the chalkboard, Lars began talking. He fully expected the students to stop talking without being told, so he gave no warning as he began erasing the chalkboard. “All right,” he said. “My name is Professor Svensson”—he wrote his name on the board so they would know how it was spelled—“I am your new transfiguration professor. Please, tell me what you’ve learned about transfiguration in previous years. Just so I can get the general idea of how much you know.”

Lezleighd · 05-25-2009, 12:19 PM

Feeling a little nervous, Satine didn't answer the question...she was a first year and hadn't learned anything previous minus her meta-powers that just came naturally...o no was she in the right class?

Mugglemad · 05-25-2009, 12:20 PM

She put her hand up and said "Professor, I am a first year!"

"S'all right, sir," Jake nodded, wincing as he dragged himself up. "Shoulda known."

Shoulda remembered all teachers are evil.

Righting himself again, Jake straightened his shirt and set his parchment out, feeling a slight breeze playing on his neck. He raised his hand. "Last year... we did... the younger years did the sparks out of the wand thingmajig," Yes, he had forgotten already. "And the older ones did the writing words with ribbons in the air and all that jazz."

Jake was pretty sure one of those was Risona, but he had already made enough of a fool of himself... so he left it at that.

bone_baud10 · 05-25-2009, 12:24 PM

"Professor, I'm also a first year but my dad told me that we'll be learning how to change animals to glass cups," said Thomas raising his hand.

GlassXRose · 05-25-2009, 12:24 PM

Professor Svensson--Ari immediately linked the name with the voice.

Ari's left hand peaked timidly into the air, bending down once to push her glasses closer to her eyes, before arching back up. "Well, this is technically my first year here, sir...but in my previus school we had been in the middle of morphing objects into their opposite."

...She paused, "But, then again, that was at my previous school."

Harron Peasley · 05-25-2009, 12:25 PM

Laura noticed the Proffesor enter and so began to become excited. She couldn't wait until she was turning things into something different. She pulled a parchment roll towards herself and clutched tightly to her Eagle Feather quill, almost knocking her inkbottle over in the process.

fredsgirl81293 · 05-25-2009, 12:26 PM

Demetria listened to the teacher very carefully. She didn't remember a thing about transfiguration, but she wasn't going to say that. She raised her hand to speak. "It's when you change an object into something else, right professor?" she asked.

Yusrieee · 05-25-2009, 12:27 PM

Sydney blushed when Prof. Svensson asked about what they had learned so far about Transfiguration. As she was a first year, so naturally she knew nothing about the subject. She decided to raise her hand to tell the most basic thing she knew about the subject "Prof. all I know is that Transfiguration teaches the art of changing of the form and appearance of an object." She said nervously.

Eclipsed · 05-25-2009, 12:27 PM

Hrrrmm. Okay, so this actually came about from when he'd greatly wanted the professor to turn the Ravenclaw quidditch captain into a canary. He raised his hand, murmuring thoughtfully, 'So this might not be what you're looking for, but prior to what I thought I did know about Transfiguration, it is possible to use transfiguration spells on living things. Who knew? I'd thought it was only limited to inanimate objects.'

Saz Hale · 05-25-2009, 12:30 PM

Kevin listened to the professor carefully taking notes as he went along he didnt know much about Transfiguration but he was willing to learn

Waterloo · 05-25-2009, 12:32 PM

What had they learned in Transfiguration, huh? Uuhhhh. "We learned the difference between charming an object and transiguring an object, Professor," Clifford stated, hand in the air. "And we had this really cool lesson right, where we got to shoot arrows out of our wands!" That had been AWESOME.

RachieRu · 05-25-2009, 12:32 PM

Oooh. What they had done previously? Vanessa remembered back to last year, before raising her hand. "Well..in one lesson we learnt how to fire arrows from our wands at a target, Sir." She nodded, with a smile. She had enjoyed that lesson.

DuckyLinJi · 05-25-2009, 12:33 PM

Lyra kept silent at the question, she was a first year so she had no other experience with Transfiguration, but she did know it was about transforming things or animal.., or something , and since a lot of people had already answered the question she waited.

Harron Peasley · 05-25-2009, 12:34 PM

Laura was startled when Professor Svensson asked what they already knew. It was her first year, was she in the right classroom? She hurridly began taking notes on what the older students where saying.

Angie · 05-25-2009, 12:36 PM

Willow, who had been sitting in the back of the classroom doing anything BUT paying attention, snapped back to reality upon hearing everyone surrounding her speak.

Blinking her forest green eyes a couple of times and gathering by the Hufflepuff seeker's answer that Svensson had probably asked about the past terms, the girl raised her hand and answered, "We also learned the Sinistra Lumina Spell. About ... Two terms ago, I believe." It was the spell that you used when you wanted to create a handful of light, right? Right. "And as someone else already poitned. "We also learned Oppugno. I think that was around ... five terms ago." WOW. With Professor Pride.

Nat nat · 05-25-2009, 12:39 PM

Vivianne eagerly listened to the professor. What was his name again? Professor Svensson, yeah that's it. And to the other students answering. The balloon fight was cool, too, she thought. However she just listened and let the others speak. They had mentioned the things she have in mind already. The maze, the firing range.

And when the Ravenclaw quidditch captain got her chance, Via had no idea what are those lessons. She had a bit of idea about the lumina spell but the other one, she was hopeless.

Disneymaniac · 05-25-2009, 12:40 PM

Theo raised his hand, "I learnt that you always need you wand with you. Incase something happens."

Lars gave the first year a small smile and a nod. "Welcome to Hogwarts, young lady," he said. "I bet you know almost as much about this school as I do."

Jake was pretty sure one of those was Risona, but he had already made enough of a fool of himself... so he left it at that.

Turning to the boy by the window, Lars listened attentively as he described some of what they had learned the previous year. Sparks and ribbon words... interesting. "Thank you, Mister..."

Oh no. He had forgotten to instruct them to say their names before they answered. Oh well, he could always tell them on the next question, if he remembered then.

"Animals into glass cups? Perhaps that's what your father learned in his first year, but we'll be learning something a bit more difficult," Professor Svensson told the boy. "I think you're all up to the task, though."

"Morphing objects into their opposite, eh?" Lars smiled at the girl. "That's not quite what we'll be learning this year. Not quite."

Lars nodded in acknowledgement of the boy's point. He did have a point, after all. "That's a very helpful thing to know, as a matter of fact."

Lars pointed at the young man. "Very good. We'll be covering that later in the year--as a review and for the first years, I suppose," he said. Completely disregarding what he had said about arrows, he was far more interested in the fact that some of these students had learned about the difference between charms and transfiguration.

Theo raised his hand, "I learnt that you always need you wand with you. Incase something happens."

Lars gave the boy a thumbs-up. "That is a good thing to know. You never know when you might need your wand for protection or just to make life a little bit easier."

"Now. Next time you answer a question, if you could tell me your name before your answer, that would be excellent." Lars hoisted himself onto his desk and eyed the class. "Now. Can I please have a volunteer? Just one is enough."
