PS Sorry it isn't my normal format but the Documents page is giving me a hard time.
Chapter 36
"Transfiguration…," Minerva paused as her eyes gazed over her new first years, "can be one of the most useful forms of magic when used by a skilled witch or wizard." She pointed her wand in the direction of a small boy who was dozing on his text book and easily turned the book into a pillow. The children chuckled and marveled at the prospect of turning their books into something they were more inclined to use. With a moments pause, Minerva turned the pillow into a cat which jumped up screaming and spitting. The boys head hit the table and he woke with a start to the up roaring laughter of his classmates.
As the children began to settle, Minerva spotted the cat slinking its way around the room towards the open door. Just as it made a mad dash for freedom, Minerva gave one final flick of her wand. The children turned quickly to see what was going on. They watched as the cat, screaming, jumped into the air. Then a loud bang sounded through the still room as a heavy text book fell to the stone floor.
"I believe that is your book, Mr. Giles. And might I suggest that you pay closer attention tin the future." The red-faced boy stood and made his way to the back of the room to retrieve his book. Just as he was starting to stand back up, the door swung open. The boy's eyes slowly crept up the sky blue robes in front of him and met a pair of twinkling blue eyes behind a pair of half-moon spectacles.
"Someone fell asleep in class again professor?" Albus asked; his eyes never breaking contact with those of the boy.
"Something I can assure you will not happen again, headmaster," Minerva clipped in her usual no-nonsense manner.
Albus looked at her then, "I'm sure it won't. Now that I can reassure Professor Donaldson next door that your students are all well, I shall leave you to your teachings." He glanced back at the boy in front of him and gave him a quick wink before turning and closing the door behind him.
"Now as I was saying, Transfiguration can be quite useful when used properly. However, when used by the unskilled person, it can be disastrously dangerous. Now please pull out your feathers and look to the board for your first assignment."
