He got flowers! Olly beamed at Professor Ichihara and held on to the flowers. That was a pretty good spell, sure, but it was definitely not the most exciting one. But apparently it was her favorite. That was pretty much the only thing he learned from the entire question session. He tried to pay attention to other questions and answers but there was a lot to keep up with and it was hard.

Spiders! Olly liked spiders. He watched with interest as the one crawled up the professors arm. Would he get to hold a spider during the lesson? Wait, why were there spiders? This was Transfiguration, not Care of Magical Creatures. Then she was talking about porcupines and pin cushions and honestly Olly just was not following. Live animal transfiguration, that was the main point. Right? That made him have questions so it was even harder to focus on the actual point of the lesson.

"Professor, wouldn't transfiguring an animal into an object...hurt it?" Changing something living into something not living. Wouldn't that kill it or something?
