Class HAS started now and anyone posting after this point should pretend they were already here. Late arrivals will lose points. "Ok," Preston said clapping his hands together and looking across the classroom. "If you are unsure about your item, allow me to clarify. I was mostly speaking to things that appear to be heirlooms, expensive jewelry, or prized possessions. Bracelets and scarves, unless you are particularly attached to them, should suffice."
He stepped away from the desk, scanning the class with his eyes. "Transfiguration is a subject, a field, that can be incredibly exciting and challenging. It is my hope that you will all come to appreciate it as I do." He stood with his hands clasped behind his back. "I value respect. Respect yourselves. Respect each other. Respect the learning," respect the professor, "That is my number one rule." "Putting your items aside for a moment, tell me. What do you know, or what you think you know, about how transfiguration works? Guesses are ok. Don't quote the textbook at me." He looked over the students, an eager smile on his face. Carter looked down at the socks again. Did he think he could change them without messing them up? Deciding against it he replaced the socks with his Gryffindor scarf from his bag. He then raised his hand. "Transfiguration changes the appearance of something." he said. "For example, if I changed my scarf here into... I don't know a teacup or something, it'll look like a teacup, but it would still be my scarf." he said. It was like the Professor explained to him earlier. If he transfigured himself into something else, he'd just look like that something, he wouldn't become it.
