Insects. They were going to do transfiguration with Insects? Now. Hattie didn't really like insects. But she figured that they were better than spiders. She really would not be going near the spiders. But she really needed to pick a insect to do her transfiguration on. She figured she would use one of the easier ones. Not because she was trying to make it easier, but she wasn't the best at the subject, so she knew it was going to be better starting simple. She could work up to the harder things. She was only a first year, so she figured that would be okay. It wasn't like she was a 7th year and trying to get away with the easier stuff.

Okay. As she walked towards the glass tanks, she decided to go with the caterpillar. The stick insects seemed really weird, and she just could not handle that. So the caterpillar it was. She could do this. She put a smile on, trying to look happy, and she reached into the tank and carefully got one of the caterpillars out.

"Aww. You're not so bad..." She murmured as she headed back to her seat, and sat down. She still didn't really like it though. She placed it carefully down on the bench, and tried to not let it crawl away. That would be the first part of this. "Now... just stay where you are..." And she would be happy with that. For now at least.
