Marmoreal - Resembling marble

Ron's P.O.V.

"Today, class, we will be turning wood into marble."

I share a terrified glance with Harry. We both hate Transfiguration, and as we listen to McGonnagall, this seems to be even worse then usual.

She tells us the spell - marmor - and sets us to work. Just as predicted, we were rubbish. It was so hard, it took even Hermione a couple of tries. It took me. . . well, more then a couple.

Which is why I got my detention.

"Ron, you're doing it wrong," Hermione sighs, in her 'your-an-idiot' voice she seems to reserve just for me.

So I threw my bit of wood at her.
