"Today, class," Professor McGonagall called, attracting the attention of her distracted seventh - eighth - years who were talking up a storm. "We're going back to the basics. I think we could all do with something simple."
"We could do without a lesson," Ron grumbled, louder than he'd intended and he blushed an incredible amount. McGonagall glared at the boy before resuming her neutral mask.
"We'll be transfiguring simple objects into plants. As I'm sure you'll remember, some plants will be more difficult to transfigure but you're all competent so I'm sure you can manage and Mr Finnigan!" She paused. "Try not to blow anything up."
The class chuckled and she waved her wand, transfiguring her quill into a large sunflower.
"Nothing poisonous and nothing that would prefer to eat us. Begin."
The class' chatter levels were a steady thrum as they socialised whilst performing their class duties. As they were doing their task and McGonagall had already shown how laid back she was after the war.
"Hey, Hermione!" Terry whisper-shouted, drawing her attention as well as those of half the class. "Here you go." He offered her a piece of blank parchment which she accepted with a confused look. She held the parchment between her finger and thumb, her eyes travelling between the object and Terry.
"Thank you?" she replied. He merely smiled and she moved to hold the parchment in a more solid grasp. The moment more than two fingers were in contact, the parchment transfigured into a bunch of red roses. "Oh," she gasped, startled by the appearance of the flowers. "Thank you," she repeated, though she meant it more this time.
"You're welcome," Terry replied, smiling at her.
