A quick look at the dummies happened before he honed in on the dog.

“Hallå, Professor.” {Hello, Professor.} Char had heard all about Carton’s Animagus form so the man was easy to recognise even in this form. Greetings out of the way, he made his way to the back of the class to take a seat.

Dog!Norman hadn’t been waiting long when the first student arrived. Hello, Mr. Bergstrand, he thought, but gave no verbal greeting since he couldn’t speak in this form. Instead he settled for a look of acknowledgement.

Oh well. His eyes went wide at the posters around the classroom, and he almost jumped when he saw a live dog sitting in the room. Oh, it was the professor. "Hi Professor!" he grinned.

Dog!Norman watched Beta-Erikson’s reaction to the scenery. The thought briefly crossed his mind that the boy might not recognize his animagus form - he was one of the younger students, after all - but he was pleased that he guessed. Smart kid! Hello, Mr. Beta-Erikson, he thought, blinking in acknowledgement.

Unlike some of the other students who were disappointed that they couldn't wear their Halloween costumes, Daniel was relieved that he had to wear his uniform. Every year around Halloween, he was reminded of his Cinderella costume, which Lisa had persuaded him to wear to match her. It was a memory he'd like to Obliviate. (or so he says)

The Hufflepuff entered the classroom, his textbook clutched to his chest, and the first thing that drew his attention was the dog standing where the professor usually stood, motioning toward the blackboard. An Animagus. This was the professor. Daniel greeted him with a nod and moved to a seat at the front. He leaned back in his chair and looked at the movie posters on the wall as he finished setting up his desk.

Oh, hello, Mr. Yoon, Dog!Norman thought. Here was another one who immediately guessed his true identity. He lowered his head by way of returning the boy’s nod with one of his own.

It was when he had pulled up his textbook, and parchments on his desk that Will noticed the dog up front which caused him to smile in greeting "Hello professor C!" before his attention was caught by the dummies lining the walls. Were they going to transfigure the dummies into monsters? It was after all halloween tomorrow.

Dog!Norman watched with mild intrigue as Whitelaw paused to look at the Bride of Frankenstein poster for several moments. He wondered why the boy was so drawn to that one in particular. A favorite movie monster, perhaps? He was there so long that Norman thought he would have to remind him not to block the entrance, a task made much harder in dog form. Fortunately the boy moved on his own, and Dog!Norman returned his greeting with a friendly tilt of the head.

Stepping into the room it wasn't the posters that caught her attention at all. It was of course the large dog that was sat in front of the professors desk. The dog that had the professors same shade of hair as his fur and same color eyes. It had to be him. "Good afternoon, Professor." Keigh smiled warmly as she always did. Moving to take her usual seat beside Charlie in the back of the room flashing him an even brighter smile as she got herself settled for the lesson.

Dog!Norman watched as Anders arrived. He half-expected her to be drawn to the monster posters, but she noticed his animagus form instead. Her smile got a friendly tilt of the head in return. Hello, Miss Anders.

He'd had a little trouble concentrating in his morning class because he was looking forward to the next day. But he was really doing his best. He normally liked Transfiguration, so this class shouldn't be too bad. When he entered the room he glanced around, looking for Professor Carton. He wasn't there, but there was a dog at the front of the room. Alfie's first instinct was to pet it, but he stopped himself for two reasons. One, you shouldn't pet a random dog. And two, after only a few moments of observation he realized that it was not a random dog but Professor Carton's animagus form. Good thing he didn't try to pet him, that would have been awkward. He gave him a wave in greeting instead.

Alfie turned to find a seat, scanning the room for one of his friends. Two of his dormmates were already there, but sat far apart from each other. Daniel in the front and Charlie in the back. Alfie considered for a moment, and decided he didn't necessarily want to sit right in the front. He gave Daniel a smile, but headed toward the back and took a seat right in front of Charlie. "Hey Charlie," he greeted cheerfully. There were people in the seats on either side of him already, and he gave them cheerful smiles too. "Hi Keighley, hi William." He looked around the room, studying each of the posters with interest.

Dog!Norman observed Ramsey intently. So far everyone had correctly guessed that the dog was him in animagus form, but for one fleeting moment, he thought he’d confused the boy. Fortunately that proved not to be the case, and he returned the wave with a tilt of the head in greeting.

He walked right up to it and stared, immediately identifying it as the scariest and most dangerous monster in the room (the kind of monster that only showed its face sometimes). Disturbed, he took a seat on the opposite side of the room from it. "Hi Professor Carton," he said, waving to dog!Professor Carton. He thought it was cool that the professor had an animagus form. He could tell it was the professor in disguise because only Professor Carton sat and watched just like the professor always did.

Another student looking at the monster posters, more specifically at the Hyde one. Dog!Norman watched with mild concern as Fox took a seat far away from the Hyde poster. Was it really that frightening? Maybe not. Hello, Mr. Fox, he thought, acknowledging the greeting with a head tilt.

When the steady stream of students filing into the room had stopped, Norman transformed back into his human form and glanced at his watch. Time to start. He flicked his wand toward the door, and it closed with a soft click. “Good afternoon and happy almost Halloween, everyone,” he greeted the class. “We have a lot to do today, so let’s get started.”

He paused a few moments to allow time for the students to focus on him before continuing, “Here’s a question to get your minds going. How can transfiguration be used to disguise one’s appearance? I just showed you one example with my animagus form. Give me another.”

OOC: Class has officially started! Feel free to jump in at any time; just pretend your student has been here the whole time unless you want IC consequences for a late arrival. We’ll move on again in 22-24 HOURS.
