She had gotten a bit over excited when the spell worked and she was sure the stains would come out of the silk cushions. "I'm not too fond of the idea of Transfiguration though, my sister showed me once that she could turn her pet rat into a tea cup and i just felt a bit sorry for the rat. I mean no one asked it if it wanted to be a tea cup did they. I think it’s a bit cruel".

I can't help thinking it must hurt, suddenly being transformed into an inanimate object but of course people never seem to take the feelings of such a small animal into consideration. Though I don't really understand how magic works yet so maybe i am wrong." Finishing her sentence Alice realised she had forgotten to introduce herself and instead had just carried on her rant. Feeling slightly ashamed of her rudeness she said "Oh and I'm Alice, Alice Measom. It's very nice to meet you Selina".
"Hmm." Dahlia thought for a moment before replying.
"I don't think it hurts them. I mean people can transform themselves and it doesn't seem to hurt, so I imagine it wouldn't hurt the animals very much. Although I think I'd be rather upset if I were changed into something that wasn't alive."
She giggled as a thought hit her. "And I really don't think I could drink out of a goblet that used to be a mouse."
"I really just want to learn to be an Animagi. My aunt's one, it's the coolest thing ever, unless she caught be doing something I wasn't supposed to."
She looked at Willow, who had reamined silent throughout the conversation. "What do you think?"
