Bonnie walked in and scowled as she saw she was the first there. It was always nerdy, but she was kinda glad...being the Ravenclaw that she was. She smiled and walked up to the professor and smiled. "Hello Professor."

She pulled out a piece of parchment and scribbled;
Name; Bonnie Campbell
House/Year; Ravenclaw/5th
PUT; Changing mouldy bread into freshly baked bread.

She played with the stripy scarf that she'd brought absentmindly.

Jim had simply brought along his Ravenclaw scarf, having no interest in doing something to bespell any of his regular scarves without knowing what exactly they'd be doing. He wandered into the classroom and examined the layout suspiciously. A cursory glance at the professor and then Jimmy had found a seat and put his clean and booted feet up on the desk. With the parchment resting against his thigh, he filled out the details required after checking out the instructions on the chalkboard, taking his sweet time about it and occasionally eyeing the door to see who was coming in.

He was only early because he happened to be in the area. Not because he wanted to be early. Or anything.

Cheerfully walking in the class Josh looked around to see what the place was like. Hmmmm...hmmm. It looked like a common classroom. Hehehe. What else could it be?

Whatever.

Saluting the professor, ''Good day Professor!'' he chose a seat, dropped his Gryffindor scarf of the desk and began writing the information on a piece of parchment.

Name Joshua Carter
House and Year Gryffindor,4th
An example of a practical use of transfiguration Changing one's facial features so one can pull any prank without being recognised later on

Eeeep!

Transfiguration. Seeing as this was Destiny's FAVORITE class ever, she practically ran all the way to the classroom. Having Evelyn stay at her house over the summer helped her in the running department. She didn't wheeze as much anymore.

Stopping just outside the classroom, she made sure her scarf was snuggly wrapped around her neck before entering. She didn't know what they were going to need a scarf for, she just figured it would be cold in the classroom.

She should have wore her hat, too!

"Hello Professor Kingsley!" she greeted, as she walked past him and took a seat closest to him. She had to resist the urge to poke the man with the point end of her pencil scarf; he probably wouldn't have liked that much. Noticing the chalkboard, she wished she would have used the eraser end of her scarf to wipe off the instructions. Pffft.

Emmaleigh made the long trek up to the sixth floor. She was super excited to be having a Transfiguration lesson. It was one of the classes she had thought she would enjoy. When she entered the classroom, she was shocked to see that she was one of the first to arrive. She found herself a seat close to the front of the classroom,and Greeted the professor. "Good m-morning Professor" She then pulled her scarf off from around her neck, and read the board. Well, the first two were easy, but what was a practical use for Transfiguration? She thought for a while until an idea hit her. It should be possible so, why not?

"Hello Professor, I vas told I could join your lesson" Yes, Danika couldn't just miss Transfiguration. Especially considering this was the first lesson, and her favorite class in Durmstrang. She'll just have to wait and see how this one went on.

She'd read something in the notice board about a scarf, that's why she was coming with one of Sandra's scarves. Danika didn't bring one to Hogwarts, she decided against it because the weather was never truly cold.

She placed it on a desk, after she made her way to one that was close to Fletcher.

Fee stepped into the classroom. She was really excited for that lesson she had heard soo much about it.
"Good morning Professor", she smiled.
Walking to one of the tables she sat down and wrote the informations on her parchment.

"Professor Kingsley! Good day, Sir!" the boy exclaimed, venturing into the classroom, scarf at hand, his purple/blue striped scarf, he should've brought the Hufflepuff one, he didn't mind losing that one.

Everyone was placing their scarves on their desks, eh, he wouldn't do that just yet. He did placed his bag on it, though.

Hugo walked in and greeted the professor. Ooh, Transfiguration. That would be fun.
He layed his scarf on his desk. It was a Ravenclaw scarf!

Marie wasn't very excited to go to transfiguration class. She was not in the mood to be changed into an animal or anything crazy today. Hopefully though that's not what class would be about since they had to bring a scarf with them. Walking into the class the first person she seen was the professor. "Hello Professor Kingsley." Next she seen Jimmy... looking rather comfy sitting there and Destiny sitting just a couple seats away from him. "Well you look pretty comfy there." She said to Jimmy as she sat at the desk between him and Destiny. She then looked over to Destiny. "Nice scarf. You must have gotten it at the same place you got mine." Leave it to Destiny to find the cute scarves they both had.

Putting her things down she grabbed her quill out of her bag and filled out the parchment on her desk.

She then took her scarf out of her bag and put it on her desk. This seemed a lot like one of the lessons they had last term. Hmm, was the professor going to change her scarf into something else?

Mwahaha! Transfiguration class!

The one class where...

She did horribly in. No matter though! Professor Ruffles far made up for the lack of skill she had in the class. All his ruffle-y ruffles were too funny. Sometimes. Unless she was annoyed during that particular day, then they just irritated her.

Evelyn walked into the room, a rather bored look on her face, though she was really slightly excited about that class. Shhh! No one knows that though.

She stopped for a moment, smiling at Destiny and was about to take her seat near her, but then Josh was there too. OMG JOSH! He was not...sitting near Destiny though. Ugh, fail! No, she wanted to sit near Josh this time. "Good day Professor." she said quietly, taking her seat next to her favorite Gryffindor.

Slytherin scarf on the desk, bag on the ground, quill out, and awesome parchment ready for the class! Wooooooot!

Jim grinned and flicked his fingers in greeting at Ivory but didn't say anything.

He was SO well behaved.

Jimmy winked at Marie but yep, you guessed it. Stayed ever so politely quiet.

Tralala.

Oh finally! Transfiguration... The one class that Rae could actually be good at! She could seriously skip into class she was so happy, but she didn't. Rae did not skip... ever. Smiley nonetheless, she looked over to her two friends Evelyn and Destiny... Yes, it's a good idea to sit with them. She slung her bag down and pulled out some parchment and started writing the following.
Yeah, that was a good day alright.

"Good day, Miss Campbell," Professor Kingsley said with a nod. He was not yet checking parchments to notice the girl's response, and instead moved closer to the door.

That would not do. That would not do at all.

"Young man, you will remove your feet from that desk, this instant!" His tone was snappish as he marched over to the Ravenclaw, and looked down at the parchment.

"Mister Wilkes," he intoned sternly, "that is inappropriate behavior in a classroom and will not be tolerated.

"Mister Fletcher, good day," he said with a nod, as he departed from the rude Ravenclaw and made his way back to where students were entering.

"Mister Carter, hello." Preston watched the boy a moment, recalling the shenanigans from the previous term.

New start, perhaps. But glancing at the parchment, he thought perhaps not.

"Miss Shepard," he said with a small smile. "What a... unique scarf."

Preston nodded at girl in response to her wave.

"Welcome to class," he replied, with a small smile.

"Ah, yes, Miss Malik, please do join us." Preston gestured to the desks.

"My classroom is open to all of the Champions."

He was happy to see her up and about, particularly given the injuries nearly all champions had endured in the first task.

"Good morning," he said with a slight nod.

"Good day to you, Mister Lockhart," he responded.

Preston watched the Ravenclaw make her way over to a desk before turning and surveying the room, some.

Preston watched others enter, walking around the room to glance at parchments. Some would need some addressing, for sure.

"Hello, Miss Salazar," he said as he passed by. Glancing at her parchment, he nodded. That was certainly more practical that some of the others he'd seen.

"Good day," he said passing by and catching the different name on her parchment.

Pausing, he returned. Bending over slightly, he whispered. "Would you like to be addressed as Miss Flores-Shepard, or just Shepard?"

Emma Malfoy walked into the Transfiguration classroom holding her green scarf in her right hand. "Good Morning Professor!" she exclaimed as she entered. Reading the board, she took out a piece of parchment and wrote:
After she had finished with the piece of parchment. She handed it to the Professor, smiling. She went back to a desk and put her scarf on it. Emma also pulled out some more parchment, ink, and a quill. She was so ready!

This instant?

Jimmy looked up from his parchment and paused.

This very instant?

"Alright... sir."

He did swing his feet down and to his credit didn't point out that the Headmaster didn't seem to mind it in his classroom.

He smiled up at the professor. Not his usual heyyyy-ladies-I'm-so-charming grin, but his look-how-much-respect-I-have-for-authority smile. Just a bit different.

He barely used it, really.

... he wondered if it was worth asking if he could transfigure himself a footrest.

Lara was so excited about this lesson she always thinks that this subject is one of akind ,transifugrate things that was awesome!! So she chosed a desk and sat down and put her scarf on the desk.

On a piece of parchment please write the following:

Name: Lara Black
House and Year: Slytherin, first year.
An example of a practical use of transfiguration: Turning a rat to a glass of water.

Hmm wha?

Oh right, Flores-Shepard...last name thingy. Well it certainly was a mouthful. She didn't know why she just didn't use Shepard. However, keeping her last original last name was just something she needed to do.

But, not anymore. She was passed the whole family thing. "I think, Shepard is good." she said quietly back. "Flores-Shepard is a bit long."

Mmhmm, yup.

Finally. She had been looking forward to this class ever since she had spoken to the professor over the summer. Skipping into the classroom, Hufflepuff scarf wrapped snug around her neck. "Hello, Professor Kingsley." Cheerful mood she was in today, not that she was never cheerful, but she was excited about the lesson.

Taking a seat beside Ivory, she gave the girl a light, playful nudge as she read the board. Loosening the scarf, she pulled out a parchment, and wrote down what was instructed.

When finished, she let her legs swing idly under the desk, waiting for the lesson to begin.

Freya was so excited. She always loved Transfiguration. She took off her scarf and put it on her desk. She read the instruction on the board and pulled out a small piece of parchment and quill from her bag.
