They were on the home stretch now huh? Soon enough seven years of being taught by Professor Bellaire, over two subjects, would come to an end.

West was early and had wrapped up warm in preparation for this class. Full uniform of course, he knew that by now... and he'd even tied his hair back, having no problem with doing so if it was on his own terms.

"Hello professor." West greeted and then went and found a place to stand to wait for class to start.

Adi peeked into the Transfiguration classroom. Well, at least there was no blizzard. Buut there was snow. Oh yay. That would just add to the cold he was already feeling. So not cool.

He stepped into the classroom. "Hello, Professor,'' he said with a smile before going off to stand by a seat. That's when Adi noticed what was written on the board. It was a good thing he mastered that spell then.

Was True. Pretty soon nobody but the Professors would remember that Bellaire taught another class before Transfig. Nigel made sure to remember that he was dressed appropriately and even tied his hair up and tucked it back. Too bad he could not wear the suit Flamsteed made for him. That was an awesome warm snow suit.

That should be perfect. He dressed as warm as he could with look like he just crawled out of bed. And see he does remember instructions and especially ones that have to do with his hair.

"Hello Professor"

Ah, they would be continuing the cloud thing. Awesome. Nigel stood around waiting for class to start. Even if he was in the mood to break class rules, the stools did not look that comfortable.

Jasmine arrived at the Transfiguration classroom and was surprised to see that it looked like a snow globe with a bunch of clouds added to the picture. Normally, Jasmine would be excited to see snow, but it was the last thing she wanted to see right about now.

Hoping that she was tidy enough, she entered the classroom. Man it was cold in there. Did the tidiness rule apply when you had to put twenty extra layers on because it was freezing? Jasmine thought that it would be a good time to invoke the 90/20 rule. If it was above 90 degrees or below 20 degrees, anything in the way of fashion should be acceptable. At least that was her opinion.

"Good Morning Professor Bellaire", Jasmine said as she walked over to a stool near her cloud. Standing behind it, she prepared to wait for her other classmates to arrive. This was one time that it didn't pay to be extra early to class.

Merlin's BEARD it was cold! This actually helped where Maddison was concerned as she'd been quite sleepy on the walk here and was now more alert and awake than she wanted to be. She longed for her cozy bed but as she was already at the classroom door , she might as well make the best of it.

The first year smoothed her uniform and her hair, fighting back the urge to wrap her arms protectively around herself and letting on the cold was an issue for her. She was TOUGH, mhm. She could HANDLE this. YUP. And so she entered the room, noting the changes AND the woman in charge. "Hello Professor." Polite smile given, the twelve year old went and found a good place to stand.

You know what? One day Lex was going to slip some sleeping solution into that woman's goblet over dinner and enjoy her having a late class the next morning. Late because she'd oversleep and Lex would be able to oversleep and STILL get here on time. It would happen. Had to. The Gryffindor was not about this early lifestyle. Being at it for years didn't make her accept it anymore than she did back when she was 11. Just saying.

Alexa could feel the chill even before she entered the room but she didn't question it too much given the topic of their last class. Snow clouds. Hers had been brilliant...you know, until it started blizzarding but the lack of strong winds told her the Professor had gotten hers under control. Wonderful woman she was.

"G'morning Professor. I love what you've done with my cloud." And a WIDE grin. Obviously Lex had been in no position to calm that storm herself. Bless the Professor stepping in like that. She could have DIED. Nevermind everyone else that could have died, ahem. Now where to stand, where to stand? Over there looked good.

Transfiguration honestly wasn't proving to be Lux's favourite class by any means though she was still eager to learn new things. Why did it have to be so eary in the morning? That should be illegal.

Not only was she tired, but it was FREEZING. Stepping inside the room, she saw all the changes made since the last time she had been here. Her cloud was making snow; she was so proud of herself and her snow cloud. "Good morning, Professor." Waiting for the lesson to start, she saw Jasmine and Adi. They got friendly smiles but she was scared to talk much in this class, so her mouth was staying shut for the moment.

Okay bay did not want to get into trouble already, walking into the classroom he gave s nice short greeting to the professor "good morning professor " he said as he knew he was clean and wearing the appropriate clothing he went to go stand by the fence.

Brrrrrrrrrr. Theo hated the cold but did his best not to be miserable when attending his favourite class. He had his hands buried in his robe pockets as he entered the snowy classroom.

Theo stood by a seat and smiled brightly at Professor Bellaire. "Good morning, Professor Bellaire." He said formally with a small bow of his head. Since this was his last term and all, he really had to start thinking of gifts for professors that he would likely not see again. Theo batted this thought out of his head because he totally knew he'd see Professor Bellaire again. Totally.

Lucy walked into the Transfiguration classroom..
What a surprise! It was snowing..
"Good morning professor Bellaire!", she said.
Lucy came near to her cloud and she started to wait for the lesson.

It was said on the noticeboard to dress warmly, yeah? And Ethan was right, as soon as he stepped inside the classroom. Snow. Everywhere. Inside. The classroom. Fixing his gloves, the third year spotted the professor and gave her his greeting. “Good morning, Professor.” Nope, his mood is still down and the chill inside the classroom’s not helping.

Well, he doesn’t have a choice anyway but to go on with the day. All right. Ethan marched towards one spot and waited for the rest to arrive. Now. Where is Grayson?

As per usual, the early hour that Transfiguration was held during didn't seem to bother Toby in the slightest. He was there on time, in full uniform and as well groomed as it was possible for him to get. The cold didn't even bother him that much, seeing as the entire castle was already in some kind of eternal winter anyway. Plus, when you kept moving like he did, you tended to keep warm.

"Morning Professor Bellaire," Toby said as he saw the woman, sounding somewhat distracted as he immediately began looking around for his cloud. Once he found what he thought must be it (distinguishing clouds was difficult) he trudged through the indoor!snow to stand by a stool close to it and stood there waiting. And fidgeting, of course.

As Sophie walked down the corridor, she mentally said to herself, 'I will not get angry at this professor for dumb rules, I will not get angry at this professor for dumb rules, I...' When Sophie opened the door, though, she knew no amount of mental pep talks with herself had worked. There was more SNOW, which put her in a foul mood right away. Couldn't they learn about the SUN?

Then there were already people standing, which put her in an even worse mood. Oh, well. "Hello, Professor," she said, then she went to find a place to stand.

Agatha walked into the Transfiguration classroom with her nose up in the air. She knew professor Bellaire because she was a family friend and she had had an awesome time before term started with that professor and she was just awesome. AND. Agatha was perfectly tidy and ready to learn. Proud of self.

She stopped for a second and blinked at all that snow. Whoa. "Hello, professor Bellaire." The third year greeted, pretending not to be so impressed by all the snow inside the room. She went to stand in the front because she could. Only slightly to the side so people wouldn't see if she got any spell wrong.

Beverly Wayne was SICK of snow. She was ready for a nice and warm sun. Maybe even a beach, some sand and refreshing pumpkin juice. The Slytherin was daydreaming that as she entered the Transfiguration classroom, but the dream quickly dissipated when she saw MORE snow. BAH!

She inhaled a deep, calming breath. She wasn't a child to throw a tantrum. She was a clever and independent witch. Yes, yes.

"Good day, Professor Bellaire," she greeted. Then pulling her cloak tighter around herself, Beverly took steps forward and took a spot next to a familiar boy.

"Hi, Lute Boy." And say hi to your new name.

Ethan was doing a bit of stretching in place, as he waited for the others to arrive to keep his blood circulating and keep him warm. It would have been better if they waited outside, rather than inside the classroom. But then again, for two years back in his old school, they have this kind of weather, so it shouldn’t bother him that much.

After a few rounds of stretching, his eyes was fixed on a cloud and chanted the spell inside his head. He guessed it was the best thing to do now, because it seems that they will be doing it again. However, he didn’t notice that someone was already beside him, not until she said her greeting.

Ethan turned, and what did she say? Lute boy? What?

Oh. Ooooh! She’s Cutty’s girl friend! As in…friend who is a girl. Ethan grinned at her and gave her a wave. “Hi. Miss.” Well, that was a bit awkward isn’t it? He never got her name after that incident, nor did he bother. “It's actually Ethan.” Or…lute boy if she wanna keep on calling him that. Heh.

Caleb still sort of felt like death. He'd been out with the flu for what felt like AGES but was probably more like a week or two. Now he was back, however, ready to jump into classes again!

Well, as ready as someone could be to do WORK.

Ah, there was his cloud waiting for him. What were they going to do today? Please no snow, no snow...

Cris quickly made his way up to the Transfiguration Classroom afraid that he was late. Before stepping inside, he examined himself. Tucking in his shirt, he combed his hair and cleaned his shoes. When he was certain his appearance passed muster, he stepped in and walked up to the Transfiguration Professor.

"Good morning, Professor Bellaire,"Cris greeted the Professor with a smile. Yes he had remembered to properly address her. There were to be no hello greetings for her. Cris then turned around, and read the instructions on the board.

His own cloud? Cris looked up at the clouds floating above him, before walking over to his. Yes it had to be his because Jasmine has been working next to him, and there she was.

He nodded and smiled at both Jasmine, Adi before getting ready for the lesson proper.

The snow beneath Cutty's feet crunched as he entered the classroom. He was already bundled, the dungeons being much colder than he felt necessary at the moment. In contrast the Transfiguration room almost felt warmer. Almost. But not quite.

He hunched forward and bundled himself tight looking every bit antisocial. "Hello, Professor Bellaire." He managed a greeting for the favoured and merciless one as he approached his cloud and gradually acclimated to the temperature and surroundings.

................................. No.

He was already freezing and this classroom was only making it worse. He understood the fact that they were going to be working with clouds and snow, which meant that it had to be cold but.............. no. He still didn't approve of this. He was going to end up shivering, if he wasn't careful. Probably going to get sick from this. He did NOT want that, thank you.

Crossing his arms across his chest, Grayson headed into the classroom. There was snow on the ground! Jeez. It was hard to think that this classroom was on the sixth floor of a castle and not outside. It hardly made much difference to the outside temperatures. Hardly.

'Least he was going to be alert for this class.

"Good morning, Professor Bellaire," he said, giving her a curt nod as he went to stand beneath his cloud, which was snowing gently. Thank Merlin that the snowstorm had been dealt with. He did not want to come to a lesson only to find that that freak of a weather was continuing. No, thank you.

AJ made sure she was nice and tidy before she entered the room. The first year knew that Bellaire was not one to cross. Her eyes widened when she saw the winter wonderland. This would have been cool under normal circumstance, but it had been so cold lately that this was just an annoyance.

"Hello professor." she scanned the board and thought to herself that she was glad she had mastered the spell at the last moment. AJ really had a hard time getting the cloud to do what she wanted.

Angel was really cold but she still didn't want to get into any trouble so decided to get out of her warm bed and come to the lesson. "Good morning, Professor Bellaire!" Angel smiled as she gave the Professor a big smile and went and stood where she knew she had to and then she waited, she just hoped she wouldn't be waiting long because she wanted to get this lesson over with so she could go find somewhere really warm to warm up.

Humdehmmmm. Marigold shuffled into class, focusing on putting her beanie over her freezing ears more. It was cold, and she was prepared, but her ears need not suffer through another class being frozen. "Hello, Professor," she said, then walked over to her cloud. Hi, cloudie.

Transfiguration was growing to be a complicated class and after the fiasco that the last class had ended with, courteousy of an out of control cloud, Benny didn't quite know what to expect as he entered the classroom all nice and neat as required. Storm...no. But snow there was indeed. He instinctive looked for Adi whom he knew enjoyed that type of thing. Sure enough, his bestie was there though he seemed to not be too overly happy.

"Hello Professor," the Gryffindor greeted politely as he made his way over to the spot given as his own. Benjamin standing straight and quietly observing his cloud. Seemed he had a head start this lesson since he had gotten the spell working and it was lightly precipitating like some of the rest of them.
