Once again, I own nothing. Well, except for the story. And it's not
that great. Hmph. Well anyway, I hope this is enjoyable, and thanks to
moonygirl13 and SatanSaphire for the reviews. Also, read SS's story, it's
quite good.
CHAPTER TWO: Transfiguration Test
I stood up and left the room after the faculty was out of sight. I brought my books with me when I showed up at the Great Hall's entrance early that morning so I was prepared for class. I started down the hallway to the transfiguration classroom. I walked among the other Slytherins that were heading the same way. Upon reaching the door some of my peers began groaning as they remembered Professor McGonnagle's warning on Friday about a test today. I entered the classroom and took my seat in the second to first row. I opened my book and went over the information that I would need for this test. We had to turn a blade of dead grass into a living rabbit and then into a tulip seed that we would plant and later receive a grade on. Of course our transfiguring skills would be graded as well. So, we'd be graded for one thing today, and another after our flowers bloomed. It sounded easy, but the wand movements were complicated and I was concerned that if I messed them up my rabbit would appear inside out. When the professor told us to close our books and clear our desks I did so, leaving only my wand out. Professor McGonnagle called us up one at a time to the front of the room to demonstrate our skills. The first person up did a fine job except that their rabbit had one extra toe than it should have on its back right paw. I was called up after a short time. I walked up with my flimsy, long wand in in my left hand. I looked at my grass blade and then clearly stated the spell, (Watashi wa usagi), trying to mimic the way the professor had shown us to move our wands as closely as I could. My blade crinkled up and then expanded into the shape of a three-dimensional rabbit. Its rough grass texture was replaced by brown fur and black eyes with a dark nose and mouth to go along with it. The only problem was that the inside of its ears retained their dead grass color and its whiskers looked like grass as well. I successfully turned it into a seed and then planted it in a cup with my name on it.

After class was finished, my house members and I went to herbology with Professor Sprout and then it was time for lunch. As always we had a large selection of food to choose from. I was quite hungry since I didn't have any breakfast that morning and I had been awake for quite a while. I looked over at the faculty table. The professors were all their. Professor Snape was in his usual spot. On his plate he had a bit of tuna casserole and some green beans along with a glass of cranberry juice to drink. I took the same in slightly bigger proportions. I did that a lot. If I weren't sure of what I wanted to eat, I would see what the professor was having and have the same thing. I wondered if he ever noticed. Lunch was good, I felt better with food in my stomach. I looked at my schedule for the day. Directly after lunch the Slytherins had potions with Professor Snape. After that we would have flying lessons with Madame Hooch. When lunch was called to an end in a fashion similar to the way breakfast was, I hurried to the nearest bathroom. I looked myself over, made sure nothing was left on my face, and used the toilet. After thoroughly washing and then drying my hands I made sure that I had all of my needed material for my next class and began walking toward the potions master's lair.
