Transfiguration Lesson I
 

The door is ajar, just waiting for you to open it and enter the classroom. When you do you notice that nothing is out of the ordinary. All the desks are lined up in the usual manner, each with a single piece of large paper resting on top, Professor Magnus' desk is still at the far end of the room, and the blackboard is to the side.

There is a message on the blackboard, however.

Professor Magnus herself is sat on the edge of her desk waiting to greet you.



OOC: I'm opening a little earlier to allow people time to enter. The actual lesson won't start for another couple of hours or so. Please have your character enter, but DON'T chat excessively or points will be taken. ;P

Louisa slipped her satchel off her shoulder the second she walked into the classroom. This study-ahead thing was draining most of her energy out. And all of her fingernails. The fifteen years old smiled at Professor Magnus and nodded, "Good day, professor." And ooon to the first desk she saw. She didn't have enough energy to pick seats so this one would do.

Looking down at the paper, her eyebrows were raised in surprise. And then the note on the board drew her attention. Hmm. No touching then. Louisa could do that.

Elise stumbled into the classroom, after an unsuccessful attempt at twirling. She would never master that, she beamed. She loved being clumsy, it was who she was. Nticing Professor Magnus sitting... where Professor Magnus always sat, she grinned widely at her.

"Hi, Professor!" she grinned, before running off to find a seat. Paper? Aww... they couldn't write on it. Pulling out a piece of scrap parchment, Elise pulled out a quill and started doodling.

Kurumi rushed to the Transfiguration classroom eager for her other favorite subject to begin. Ever since Professor Magnus had come back, Kurumi's love and appreciation for the subject had been renewed. Shaw had frightened her and it was nice knowing that there was no chance of chainsaws being used in the classroom. At least, she hoped so.

"Good day, Professor Magnus," Kurumi greeted as she made her way to her seat in the front and set her things down. She looked at the piece of paper on her desk and picked it up, holding it up to the light to see if there was any sort of hidden message on it. No such luck. Maybe they were going to do some origami? Kurumi was very good at it, especially making cranes and frogs. Perhaps they could transfigure their paper creatures into real ones? They had done the opposite last term, meaning they had transfigured a living thing into an inanimate object.

Zhenya walked in to the Transfiguration class. She was really looking forward to this one because she wasn't able to take it last year. She walked in and said "Hello Professor Magnus, how was your summer?"

She then took a seat in the middle of the room, and her eyes scanned the room.

Transfiguration is one of the classes that Hannah was looking forward to the most. She walked in and looked around the room only to see no faces that looked familiar so she changed her view to the professor and gave her a warm smile. "Good day Professor Magnus. Nice to meet you." She hoped it was nice to meet her anyways. Only time would tell. She was hoping for a fun class.

TRANSFIGURATION! It was one of Raven's favorite subject. She ran quickly to the classroom, she didn't want to be late and she was very enthusiast for this lesson. Professor Magnus was a great teacher. Last term, they did some fun with clowning around, the snake, and the dummy. What would she do this term? Ah, Hopefully it'll be more fun!

Running from the great hall to the classroom where it is on the sixth floor was not a good idea. She was very exhausted. Thank Merlin she was not late. She entered the classroom and greeted the Professor.

"Professor Magnus, Good Day! Glad to see you again this term. I'm really looking forward for transfiguration." she said happily. Noticed that Zhenya was already there too, she decided to join her.

"Hello." Then she sat and arrange her breathe.

Yawn. And a bit adjustment to the striped blue and bronze neck tie.

She was still a bit sleepy from all the star gazing she had done the other night. But it was almost time for Transfiguration Class--and since she had fallen in love with that class because of last term's turn your walking stick into a snake and having a real snake in a class--Beezus hurriedly headed over to the Transfiguration Classroom.

And of course, first to appear in sight was inside was the Professor for Transfiguration herself. "Good day Professor Magnus!" Beezus greeted brightly as her eyes roamed the classroom but mostly focused on the Professor's desk. There was no sign of Jasper the snake. "Jasper's not here, Professor?" the young eaglet asked as she walked over to the second desk on the far left side that was nearest to the blackboard.

She also saw the message on board. And sure enough, there was a piece of paper on where she chose to sit.

Quentin followed a few other students into the transfiguration class, on the edge of the desk sat a woman she assumed was Professor Magnus. Not being the bravest lion she decided to just pick a seat and sit down without attracting to much attention. She chose a seat near the back- she hated sitting up front, it always felt like people were watching her.

Next lesson was Transfiguration. Its one of the class that Messer was looking forward for because in that class he has a chance to practice with his wand. He entered the classroom with a grin in his face. "Good day, Professor. I'm Edvard Messer, first year Hufflepuff." he said intoducing himself before he took a seat in the middle of the room.

Pam was excited to start transfiguration. She had her wand with her, as always, and was ready to start changing things. She sat down at a seat that was around the middle. She was about to write on the paper that was on her desk, but she looked up at the blackboard, and stopped herself. She was really curious as to what they would be using the paper for, ab let her mind wander.

Presley danced into Transfiguration, and noticed randomly huge peices of paper on all of the desks. But a quick glance up at the board revealed that they were there for a specific purpose. Presley skipped over to her typical seat, to see that it was occupied...by a first year. "Oh, er," she stared awkwardly for a half-second, not knowing what to do. She'd sat in that specific seat every Tansfig class for two years now. However, she quickly processed that it wasn't the kid's fault, and moved the next seat over. Dropping her bag on the floor, she tossed the kid a smile. "Hello. Mind if I sit here?"

Jezzabelle walked in and smiled, "Hello Professor..." She needed to learn the names. She went and sat at the front and looked at the blackboard. Well she wasn't going to do anything to the paper in front her then. She waited for class to start feeling a little nervous yet again.

Minerva couldn't help but smile walking into class. All the bad stuff that had been going on was at the back of her mind since she was headed into her favorite class. She smiled big and greeted Professor Magnus. "Hello Professor, hope you are doing well today." then Minerva found and empty seat and sat down taking out her parchment and quill waiting for class to begin.

Gwen came in, a little tired, but smiling, as usual.
"Hello Professor!" she said, and took a seat to the side of the room. She was starting to wonder what they would use the paper on their desks for, when she noticed and read the message on the blackboard.

charlotte walked into the classroom looking nervous choose a desk and waited for ella

Cass entered the room and looked around, there weren't a lot of people there yet, aren't there? Or, well, maybe she arrived just in time? She wasn't quite sure, it was better to be safe than sorry anyway. She was terrible in Transfiguration and she didn't want being late to add to it.

"Good day, Professor Magnus!" The Slytherin greeted with a bright smile as she made her way further into the room, heading over to a vacant seat "I hope you had a good summer."

Then she sat down and glanced up at the board before looking back down on the sheet of paper on her table. What could they be possibly be doing with paper?

"Hey, Professor Magnus!" Arya grinned at the woman as she made her way up to the front of class, wiggling her fingers at a few younger students as she did. She was looking forward to this lesson, when did she not? Heh.

Tossing her things by her desk, she took a seat and waited for the lesson to begin, not unpacking cause there was paper on her desk. What were they turning this into, huh?

Messer was staring at the blank paper on his desk when he heard a girl voice. His eyes went from the paper to the girl who was sitting next to him. "No. Not at all." Its good having an older student sitting next to you, right? She might come in handy you know like helping him with the class and all.

Then he saw his female prefect entering the classroom, he waved his hand towards Arya.

Tranfiguration! This was a quite a fun subject, and it had to be one of Nessie's favorites. It was pretty exciting and it was one of the only lessons where they actually used their wands a lot.

With her bag on her shoulder, and her unframed picture in her hand, Nessie walked into the classroom ad smiled at the Professor as she did so. "Morning Professor Mangus." she said with a wide grin on her face. She then looked around until she spotted Kurumi, she bit her lip and hestitated.

On the one hand she sort of wanted to go sit next to the Gryffindor prefect, as she knew how clever Kurumi was and she sort of needed help, but then on the other hand she felt like a nuisance if she did. Kurumi wouldn't mind..or would she? Ness walked over to where the Gryffindor was and put on a small smile. "Um..Hey Kurumi, mind if I join you?" she asked biting her lip again.

Silvia walked into the classroom, glad to be there a bit early. Maybe finding my way around the castle isn't as hard as I thought it would be, she thought, as she took a seat close to the front of the classroom but not quite in the first row.

Silvia had heard that Transfiguration tended to be one of the more difficult subjects, but she was excited nonetheless. She pulled out some parchment and quill in preparation for notes, then proceeded to open and skim through her Transfiguration textbook while she waited for class to start.

Alyssa quickly walked into the classroom and was glad that the class hadn't started yet. She walked up to Professor Magnus and greeted her,"Hello Professor, it is good to be back here in your class." Then Alyssa looked around and when she spotted Minerva she walked over to her and asked, "Hi Minnie, I hope you don't mind if I sit next to you?" Alyssa smiled at her friend, before Alyssa sat down and pulled out her journal and writing materials. She noticed a piece of white paper in front of her but after reading the instructions on the board, let it alone and waited for class to start.

Justin entered the Transfiguration classroom with a smile on his face and a sack of cookies in his hand. " Good morning, Professor Magnus. These are for you. I do hope you like chocolate chip." He said as he placed the sack of cookies on her desk as he bowed to her slightly. Then he found a desk next to Minerva and gave her a meek smile. and put his bag on the back of his chair. As he did he saw Alyssa and gave her a smile and a wave. Hopefully she wouldn't think less of him for what had happened.
