Perhaps he'd demonstrate later. "I could transfigure you into a creature right now, and return you unharmed. But I promise you I won't."
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?"
Selena blushed. Gah. She was so stupid sometimes. She wanted to tell him what to turn her into but decided it was a bit odd. She wanted to know what it would be like to be an animal. What an odd request. She thought about it some more. Nope. no answer.
