Transfiguration Lesson One: Clowning Around.
 

Isabelle unlocked the door for her first lesson of term. It was earlier than she planned, but still, it was ready for when the kids arrived from their previous lesson. She could just sit in her chair and wait for them.

As you enter you see all the usual desks in their rows, the blackboard at the front of the room right next to Professor Magnus's desk. On the floor in front of the board are two large trunks. On the desk are two boxes. You will find out the contents of them all once the lesson has begun. So please take a seat - Professor Magnus is already sat in hers awaiting you with a smile.





----------------------------------------------
OOC: I'm opening this earlier than planned, as my internet is going funny and I'm doing it while I can. Grrr. Please have your character enter and sit at one of the desks. You may talk a little bit to the people around you, but please NO EXCESSIVE CHATTER....I WILL DEDUCT POINTS FOR THAT!

Once the lesson has begun, I will announce it in the title of my post. From then on if you post your character coming in late points will be taken from them. Thank you.

Wow, transfiguration class would be started soon! Raven walked into the classroom, she felt very enthusiast with the class. Besides D.A.D.A and Charms, she also waited for Transfiguration class. She saw Professor Magnus sat at her table. Raven smiled to her and greeted her.


"Good Morning Professor Magnus! Hope I'll enjoy your class today."

"Hey, Professor Magnus." Arya greeted the woman immediately upon entrance with a half-smile, not yet caring to notice the boxes and trunks. She was GLAD to have Magnus back, and had been looking forward to another one of her lessons, even if she was still down in the dumps about things. "It's great to have you back."

The prefect took a seat up at the front of class as usual, and finally let her eyes wander as she settled in. What was in the boxes and trunks, she had no clue. But it had to be fun stuff, yes? She waited patently for the lesson to begin.

Louisa peered into the classroom to check whether or not it was the time she'd read on the announcement board - since no one had arrived yet - and saw the professor sitting there. Yep. It was the right time. With an optimistic smile, she got inside adjusting her bag on her shoulder, "Hello, professor." Greeting the woman as she made her way to sit on one of the desks.

The Slytherin girl had seen her at the feast, at those dance lesson things, and now...now she was almost sprinting to the lesson. Was it true?! Evelyn had seen no sign of Shaw around and she prayed to Merlin (for the next ten seconds) that she would see no sign of him in the classroom. The guy had some serious problems. Mentally that is.

Stopping suddenly in front of the open door, she looked to the front of the classroom in search for the Professor, and both smiled and sighed in relief. Oh thank Merlin. "Professor Magnus! Good day." You're here. You...are...HERE. "Welcome back."

Caroline was at bit early for today's Transfiguration class this morning. She left out of the dungeons earlier to make it up the the sixth floor where the classroom was. It was always one heck of a walk from there to anywhere above the fourth floor. Most of the time Caroline will run into someone on the way to classes in the corridors. This didn't happen to today which made her even more earlier. She got to the door and noticed that there was already a few people inside. She walked out in with a smile. "Hey, Professor Magnus. Welcome back!" She said as she walked past the front of the room toward the back to find a seat.

Hoisting his school bag over his shoulder. Daichi made his way towards the Transfiguration class.

Entering the room, he immediately saw a few students already seated in their seats and the professor sitting at the front. Daichi walked towards her and smiled broadly. "Hello, Professor!" he greeted and bowed a little like he had always learned from his father in respect. Turning around, the young Slytherin found a seat at the front of the class and sat down.

Marilyn walked into the Transfiguration classroom, shades in place. It'd been one late night and awesome Death Day Party...

She just couldn't sleep after getting back to her dorm...

Taking a seat beside Rose, she removed the sunglasses. Yes, the blonde knew she looked rough. Whatever.

"Good morning, Professor Magnus."

MJ straightened her uniform, made sure she looked presentable and entered the Transfiguration classroom. "Hello Professor. My name is MJ Cacklesmaw. First Year in Ravenclaw House." MJ took a seat at a nearby desk and got her things out, ready for the lesson to begin.

Jesifur nervously walked into the room and looked around. She nodded at the professor and gave a little smile as she walked past. She made her way across the room and sat in the second row. Setting her bag next to her she took out a journal for notes and other items she thought she might need and waited for the class to begin.

Violet was pleased that she had made it to class in good time today (Hogwarts was so confusing to a first year!). She walked in the door and saw the professor. Good morning, Professor ... " Oh, Merlin, what was this professor's name? She hurriedly ran through all the names on her schedule in her head, then triumphantly added, "Magnus! I'm Violet P. Blackthorne, first year. I'm looking forward to your class."

There, that went well (she hoped). She entered the room and took a seat, looking around curiously at the new classroom.

Walking into the transfiguration class Nessie saw a familiar face. It was the professor she had seen by the waterfall, the one that had wanted them all to where those weird caps. The professor was pretty strict with the caps and Ness could only imagine how strict the professor would be in class.

"Morning Professor!" She greeted. She smiled back as she headed off to sit down.

So, Ellie saw Magnus around the grounds. But it only clicked NOW that it was odd to see her around. The lack of the kind Professor last term had completely slipped her mind. Ellie had just thought of Magnus as being here for the past two terms.

That wasn't the case, though, obviously. And Ellie remembered now.

She was quite excited to have a NORMAL Professor back. And the fact that it was Magnus and not someone she didn't know was better. She'd missed the woman.

"Welcome back, Magnus!" Ellie greeted, beaming, as she rounded the desk to where the Professor was seated in her chair and gave her a hug. Yes, she was extremely happy. Especially after remembering the kind of Professor that taught this subject last term.

She walked back to the students' desks and took a seat in the middle row, and off-centered to the left a bit. The perfect spot.

TRANSFIGURATION!

WITH PROFESSOR MAGNUS!

Oh, Hugo was definitely excited for this class. Transfiguration had sucked with the stupid ministry professor, and he'd kind of missed his old professor. She had basically been his favourite professor. "Hello, professor Magnus," Hugo chirped as he hopped into the classroom. "It's good to have you back for Transfiguration," he said with a smile, before returning to his seat somewhere in the middle row too.

Transfiguration. HORRIBLE subject. Ryden wasn't a fan. And after last term's professor she was sure that only nutters taught it as well. Although this lady didn't QUITE seem like a nutter, so perhaps that would change.

Either way it was a terrible terrible subject.

Nodding to the professor as she arrived, the blonde made a beeline for the back row, sitting down directly behind the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain. Oh, yes, she knew who she was. Ryden had actually thought of joining the team this year, but the sheer amount of people signing up for the tryouts meant that her chances of getting in where smaller. And the fifth year would not go try out if she knew that there was a chance she wouldn't get in - how embarrassing would that be? Plus, by the time she'd made up her mind, the signing up period had already finished.

So yes, she knew the Quidditch captain.

Daphne entered the classroom, wondering if she was late. She really didn't want to get into trouble even before the lesson had actually begun. That would be terrible.

Whew! There were only a few students seated.

"Good day, Professor." Daphne gave a smile before she made her way to a seat.

Since she didn't have one of her best days, Nora felt a bit slow that day, so she woke up earlier than usual (yes, she was a punctuality freak) so she would have enough time to move on slow motion towards the Transfiguration classroom.

"Hello, professor," she smiled the moment she noticed her, and then took a seat somewhere in the front. There were those boxes that managed to catch her attention, so she only propped her head on her palms, elbows on the desk, and kept staring at the two boxes as if she could see through them.

Elise walked into her first Transfiguration class.... ever!


"Good morning, Professor!" she grinned as she walked to her seat.

Transfiguration usefull very usefull subject...

She smilied at the new proffeser hopfuly she had common sense unlike Shaw and no that did not make her a buzzkill... Okay maybe a little ''Hello proffeser''

Kimalia walked in calmly for her next lesson, she smiled kindly at the Professor sitting in her chair, "Good day, Professor." Before walking to take her seat.

I'll be starting in about an hour, we'll wait for a few more. :)
 

Isabelle greeted each good morning with a broad smile and bright and cheerful "Good morning" of her own. There were far too many of them to do it all individually, plus some she didn't know - and others were kind enough to tell her. MJ, Violet....she'd remember. "Nice to meet you. I hope you all enjoy it as well."

Well, she would...the look on the face of a couple of them signalled they might not all.


Two of them had failed to address her when they entered. Thankfully for them they had smiled, so she wouldn't mention it. Instead she smiled back and go comfy in her seat to wait until everyone was in.

Arya was here! And she was a Prefect. Was she one when Issy was last there? No matter, she'd have to sit there all day to remember, so wasn't going to try. They'd get nothing done. "Thank you very much! It's nice to be back," Issy smiled.

And what was this? Evelyn had a shiny badge on her robes.

"Thank you, Evelyn! And congratulations on that." Isabelle grinned and pointed at the Head Girl badge.

Aww, little Hugo.

Issy gave him a warm grin and nodded her thanks. "I hope you'll all be gentle with me, my first lesson back," she winked. Truthfully, it was unlikely really.

Oh, and she was not expecting that.

As Ellie flung her arms around her, Isabelle's chair rolled backwards with the force. "Ohh my. Umm, thank you, Ellie. Nice to be back," she chuckled, patting the girl on the arm.



"I'll be starting soon, but we'll just wait for the stragglers," Isabelle announced over the sound of the incoming students.

Although she was going to miss Shaw, he did let her use a chainsaw after all, Destiny couldn't have been more excited for Transfiguration. Yes, she was always excited for this class, it was her favorite, but what made it better was that Professor Magnus was BACK! And it wasn't one of those evil replicas of the woman that she had learned about on the muggle box either. It was really her!

Running up the many, many steps and through the corridor, she hurried inside the classroom. "Professor Magnus! YOU'RE BACK!" Just in case she wasn't aware of it herself. "Welcome back!"

Ignoring all the trunks and boxes, Destiny gave the Professor a HUGE smile before making her way over to a seat in the very front row.

And then she realized she had just run through the whole castle. Merlin, she was tired.
