Violet was definitely interested in attending a training course in becoming an Animagus. If it was challenging and difficult (and especially if not many people could do it), Violet was all on it. And she had the "O" she needed on her Transfiguration O.W.L., so she felt confident. But listening to all the instructions and warnings, Violet's confidence began waning, until by the end of Carton's lecture, she was wondering if she dared attempt this at all. Even the very first thing--holding a mandrake leaf in your mouth for a whole month! How would that work with eating, and talking? Violet felt quite confident in her ability to make the potion, but there were a lot of other areas she had grave doubts about. Especially being able to keep a vial in a private place in the middle of a dorm full of very nosy Slytherins, not to mention a thieving pet magpie who would be more than happy to investigate a nice, shiny vial. And--how were you supposed to jump up during a storm and run out to find a space to do the ritual, if you were in your dorm at night, or in the middle of a class or something?

Still, she was already here and it would be embarrassing to chicken out in front of everyone else. And she might as well get through the preliminaries and learn as much as possible; she could always consider it in private later and make a decision. So she stepped up to the starting line of (her very favorite thing, NOT) the obstacle course and waited to see what would happen next.
