Tancred walked into the Transfiguration classroom and immediately sat down in the middle of the room without saying a single word. Right now, he was not very happy with the Ministry officials. Not one bit at all. This was mainly Thornybutt Thornton's fault, but that wasn't the point. It was time for Transfiguration.

He reached down into his messenger bag and pulled out his textbook, a quill, and some parchment. He set the belongs that he took out of the bag onto his desk and waited for class to begin. Hey, Tancred. Cheer up. It's not like Thornybutt'll waltz ... waddle into class and start bossing everyone around. Try to enjoy this lesson - you might just learn something from this guy.
