Quote:
Shaw took a seat in the floor, cross legged, with the chainsaw sitting in front of him. "You all got the gist of transfiguration, I reckon. You got one thing, frim-fram-froom, then you gotta 'nother thing. You take one thing you have - you make it into something you need. I needed a chainsaw to put my name on the board so I turned the desk into a chainsaw."
Logical, that was. "But you all don't need chainsaws like I do. What's something you oftentimes finding yourself NEEDING but not HAVING? And don't say women, 'cause that is a whole OTHER issue."
"Think about it then you can come up to the board and write down what you NEED today in class but don't have."
In the meantime, Shaw laid down flat on his back and stared without blinking up at the ceiling.
Seriously?, thought Daisy, you could actually get teachers like that?. The rest of the class seemed to think he was a bit weird, but she didn't care, he was strange, she was strange, he seemed like a good teacher. Much nicer than Professor Lafay too.
Daisy was slightly tempted to go up to the front and write 'some idea of what on earth the teacher is talking about,' but was too shy and didn't want to get into trouble.
What she needed. But didn't have.... Hmmm.... Well maybe...
Daisy got out of her seat and walked slowly to the board, and wrote on it quickly.
'The right spell'
