Stopping in front the class, Preston addressed them again. "You've raised some good points and a few of you have hit on some very important concepts: concentration, properties, laws." He paused. "However, most of you are telling me what Transfiguration is instead of how it works."
He surveyed the class. "Does anyone else want to offer their thoughts?" He looked around in particular for Miss Toussaint, expecting her response, but finding her not in the room.
"Anyone?" [/COLOR]
Ellie smiled. Of course she knew Gamp. When her father taught her about Transfiguration, she'd always ask 'why can't we make food appear'. She wanted chocolate! And he'd always say, 'Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, that's why'. She sighed. Who knew her persistence would help her in school.
How it works? You say a spell and it changes? Was it that hard to understand?
She put her hand up...
Then took it back down. She couldn't think of something that would not make her look like a fool... How it works? What kind of question was that? It changed the object, duh.
