In their Transfiguration class, Proffesor McGonagall was trying to teach them how to turn a snail into a tropical bird.
"Now, this may be one of the first tiems we've tried an animal into a larger, more spectacular one, but i want you to try your best. Are there any questions?" Emma, who had already turned her snail into a bird and was sitting lazily in her seat was one of the few who raised her hand. "yes, Miss Hickey?" McGonagall asked.
"I'm sorry, Proffesor, but i was wondering if we could all ask you about the dance." Everyone looked up from their snails at that moment, each one was quite excited when it came to the dance.
"Now, Miss Hickey, this is a magic school, not a dance school!" she replied. Emma nodded.
"I know, Proffesor" she continued, "It's just that, the seventh years are the only ones who really know what is going on. They already have their, robesa and dresses, ands masks. None of us even knew this dance was coming. then we were told it was a masquerade? I think thats quite unfair, we arent ready!" Proffessor McGonagall rolled her eyes.
"Where is this going Miss Hickey?" Emma grinned.
"Well, I think everyone will stand beside me when I ask if you could bring us to Diagon Alley, to do a bit of shopping for the dance." Everyone let out great whoops of joy and begged. Proffessor McGonagall didn't know exactly what to do.
"Miss Hickey!" she exclaimed, "I don't think this class is the proper time to be shopping for robes and dresses! This class is getting no where fast!" she looked around the room, and Emma and Hermione were the only ones who actually had a tropical bird sitting on their desks. Everyone else still had snails.
"Oh come on everyone," Emma sighed. "you want to look good for your 'dates' tonight, don't you?" as soon as she finished each person flicked their wand, said the incantation, and there was a tropical bird aatop every desk.
"very well, Miss Hickey." said proffesor McGonagall." We will go to Diagon Alley. Now, if everyone will please follow me." The class got up and hurried towards a fireplace behind McGonagall's desk. "Now i need you all to be quiet!" and everyone hushed up. "Well now, you must really want to be doing this. Now I will have the prefects go first." she said as she tossed a handful of powder into the fire, turning the flames green. "and then, you will pair up with a buddy, and say clearly, Diagon Alley. I trust you have all traveled by floo pawder before." everyone nodded. "Now then, Miss Granger, Mr Weasley, if you'd please. " As Ron and Hermione walked towards the fire and took soem Floo powder from Prffessor McGonagall, everyone paired up. Harry and Emma approached each other smiling.
