After Herbology, the Golden Trio trooped down to Transfiguration. Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their usual seats. "Now, class, you realize your OWL's are next year. Therefore, I will give you a common OWL assignment." Professor McGonnogall said staring at the class. "You are changing pieces of furniture to animals." She changed her desk to a pig and back again. "Now, divide up into groups and begin." Hermione pulled out her textbook and her two notebooks of notes and thumbed through them.
"Wanna use your chair?" Harry asked Ron.
"Sure." Ron replied. They pointed their wands at Ron's chair.
"WAIT!" Hermione yelped. "We need to be sure we understand the theory of the spell!"
"Hermione!" Ron yelled in exasperation. "We just need to do the bloody spell!"
"WELL, YOU TELL US THE THEORY, RON!" Hermione yelled shoving the book into his face.
"You probably memorized it already." Ron quipped. Hermione huffed but began reciting the theory verbatim and then jumped into a mini-lecture. Ron and Harry looked at each other before Harry pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote a now familiar title:
Ten things to do when bored in Transfiguration
1. Think about the time Malfoy was turned into a ferret.
2. Really turn Malfoy into a ferret.
3. Or a parrot
4. Think of ideas for the second task.
Harry paused. Ron took the list.
5. Turn your egg into a book. When Hermione opens it, make it scream.
6. Turn her books into bread. Eat them.
7. Eat
8. Sleep
9. Play Qudditch.
Harry laughed as he took the list back. Dean and Neville were working on turning their desk into a pig like McGonnogall had earlier in the class. "We can do this." Neville said with determination.
"Yeah, when pigs fly." Dean huffed frustrated. Ron and Harry looked at each other.
10. Make pigs fly.
"Oh good, you two took notes." Hermione said. She brandhished her wand and pointed it at the desk. It turned into a healthy pink pig. Ron and Harry aimed their wands at it as it snorted.
"Wingardia Leviosa!" . The rest of the class gasped as the pig was levitated up and then flew across the classroom squealing loudly. "YES!" The two high-fived as Professor McGonnogall marched over to them.
"Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter." She said glaring at them. "I asked you to transfigure not to charm. Ten points to Griffyndor."
"Worth it!" Harry and Ron said before high-fiving again.
