First Years, Lesson Two

Every time he arrived on time to a lesson was honestly a miracle and as Finley walked into the transfiguration lesson he was honestly surprised by himself. He lingered near the back, listening, half-heartedly, to Professor Pirrip talking about the rules and regulations, which seemed a bit silly for a class that wasn’t the first. He wondered if they shouldn’t have gone over this in the first lesson, but then he wasn’t the professor so what did he know really? He wasn’t too keen on Ministry talk though as the only person he knew in the Ministry, and it wasn’t even in the Ministry was the Professors and kind of his dad. Who was a healer. He didn’t plan on breaking any laws though so maybe it was good to know. Not that he was writing any of it down, though he probably should have been. The whole animagus thing was also weird, but he didn’t make any notes on it because it was another thing he didn’t really care about. It was a little cool and turning into an animal would probably be fun, but by his luck he’d probably turn into a goldfish or a snake and he could already talk to those so what would he need to be one for. Soon class wrapped up and he quickly finished up his notes before packing his things before heading out.​

As a class, and as a professor, this was just okay. He didn’t dislike either the professor nor the class, but he wasn’t entirely sure he liked it either. It was just another round of work he had to do to get through the school year, which was fine, but annoying. He was moderately attentive as he took notes, listening to the professor talk about animgus and transformation and stuff was kind of cool, but nothing that really interested Chiro enough to be considered worth listening to too much, just the basics was all he needed really. It was definitely re-enforcing all the things his mum used to say about magic being dangerous and be careful, but he had that lecture already he didn’t really need another one. Once the lesson had concluded, he packed up quickly and headed out of the class, maybe he could find Daisy.​

Now Christa knew magic was a joke, because she couldn’t take it seriously that there would be something like an animagus, or whatever that was supposed to mean. Was she really supposed to believe that there was an entire group of magical people pretending to be animals? That seemed like it was taking her ability to believe in magic in front of her a little too far. She snorted and shook her head, unable to believe anything else out of the professors mouth now that he’d made such a claim. That was the kind of thing that people talked about in books, like werewolves or vampires. What was this, Twilight? If she walks out the door and sees Edward Cullen eating in the Great Hall, she was leaving this school. Now Jacob she wouldn’t mind. Edward was a heavy no.​
