Closed Never Stop Learning

[Analei Westwick]

Analei had been thinking of this for a long time. Since she had seen Professor Summers transform, at will, into an animal, Analei knew it was something she wanted to do. The Prefect had done her research on it. She knew how hard it was going to be, and how much focus and control she was going to have to have, but she knew she could do it. The blonde hadn't had an outburst since her Third Year, and so she knew she could handle herself now. She could control her magic now, and had been doing really well in Transfiguration, and even all her other classes, and she knew this would give her an advantage in becoming an Auror.
With a shaky, deep breath, Analei knocked on her Transfiguration Professor's door.

 

[Jacqueline Styx]

Jacqueline was inside her office, finishing up a letter to her son, when she heard a knock on her door. She wasn't expecting anyone, but Kalif often surprised her by coming up here in the evenings after dinner. She finished sealing the letter, before looking up. "Come in." she called to the closed door.

 

[Analei Westwick]

With an invitation, Analei pushed the door open, feeling both excited and terrified by the prospect of the outcomes of their unscheduled meeting. Moving forward, Analei clamped her hands in front of her, trying to be confident. "Sorry to, uh disturb you Professor. I was wondering, if you maybe had a moment to talk?"

 

[Arvel Ayers]

All year Arvel had been vacillating between wanting nothing more than to be an animagus and thinking it was all a waste of time. His pessimism, however, was really borne of fear that he wouldn't succeed, and the moment he let Analei go to Professor Styx's office by herself, he knew he'd made the wrong decision. He slapped his journal shut and climbed through the passage out of the common room. He sprinted down the corridor and took the stairs two at a time, arriving just in time to catch the door before it fell shut behind Analei. "And - me," he wheezed, clutching the stitch in his side.
