Of all of his classes, the one he was headed for was the one he was most confused about. The young Slytherin could figure what History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts were just from the course titles. Transfiguration was not as easy to decipher. Added to that the fact that the Headmistress also taught this class and Preston was already eager to be done with it. Having the person who could expel you in the classroom watching over you did nothing to put a student at ease, especially not Preston who was not known for doing anything nearly as bad that would cause to be expelled but also not so good that he could be considered an angel. He made it into the classroom just as the bell was set to ring and he ended up in a seat in the front of the room. This did not please the first year.

He listened as the professor began her lecture. It wasn’t long before he figured out exactly what transfiguration was and he understood that it would certainly require his wand to be brought to class. That was no problem because he always had his wand with him…almost always anyway. He didn’t shower with it or anything. That would be weird. As the professor spoke about herself and her family, Preston zoned out a bit. He heard her say she was a Gryffindor and had to fight back an eye roll knowing that half of the class probably was giddy at hearing that. Surely, everyone couldn’t be a Gryffindor. Her next bit of information was much more interesting and Preston’s jaw practically dropped when the Headmistress became a golden retriever right before his eyes. It was an amazing bit of magic. From that moment on, she had his attention. Preston read the board, wondering if they would indeed learn all of those types of transfiguration over their seven years. The Slytherin used his quill to take some notes, not wanting to forget any of this information.

Despite his initial opinion, Preston found Professor Davershire to be engaging and easy to like. She didn’t act like his old Headmaster who was old and never cracked a smile. The boy had never been so close to a kitten before and he couldn’t fight off the smile when it settled down at the foot of the student behind him. Just as Preston was figuring that he would really like this subject, he realized he better hold on to that opinion. As the professor told them to copy down the homework, the boy groaned. Any professor who gave homework on the first day of class surely was not as nice as she pretended to be. Preston had known it was too good to be true. Packing up after, Preston left the room, not sure what to think of the class. The lesson itself had been fun but he thought the homework might take a long while to complete.
