Arielle looked around the room for a seat and saw one open next to Genny, the only person she knew in the entire room. Arielle walked over to the seat and took her robes off, then draped them on the back of her chair and sat down without saying hi to Genny. They weren't exactly friends and she didn't know how much conversation they could really get in before class started, so she thought it best to stay quiet. She looked back at the tanks she had noticed while looking for a seat, and wondered why they were empty. I mean, not empty, but aren't tanks like that usually for holding animals? And what did the tanks have to do with transfiguration? The first year always had questions, but knew they would be answered if she was patient.

The right questions will lead to productive answers and points, the wrong questions will yield some….. Interesting outcomes.” Once again, there was that not-quite-smirk playing upon the witch’s countenance.
