Okay Kellen, don't lose your nerve. You actually like Kingsley. This thought swimming around in his head, Kellen walked down the corridor towards the Transfiguration professor's office. At a pace a tortoise could probably match. His one attempt at giving a speech during his OWLs hadn't gone the best in the world, in his opinion, but...

Hey! A piece of paper! Excellent!

It was also somewhat of a cop-out, but hey, he was still taking it. Kellen sat down and started writing, switching a rough draft into an actual letter once he was satisfied with what he'd said.

Text Cut: Kellen's Note to Professor Kingsley

Kellen set down the quill and looked at the small stack of parchment that was his request letter. Really, the parchment could have been a little bigger; his handwriting wasn't exactly small. After using a sealing spell along the tops of the parchment sheets, he tucked the note into Kingsley's door (no mailbox he could see) and walked off down the hall, significantly faster than when he'd arrived.

Text Cut: Kellen's Note to Professor Kingsley Hello Professor, Kellen Stern here. I'd like to start by saying that I hope you had a good summer, and I'm glad that you've returned this year. The turnover rate at this school seems quite high, and the fact that you've stayed means a lot to students. It also makes what I'm about to ask a lot easier. I would guess that a lot of students ask you about becoming an animagus. After all, being able to change into an animal and still keep your mental capacity sounds pretty incredible. I'd like to throw my lot in with this crowd of hopefuls, but also explain why I believe I have the background experience to be successful. Two years ago in Transfiguration, we learned about changing different parts of our bodies into the corresponding body parts of animals. While it was no where near a full-body transformation, we were able to remain alert while experiencing an un-human limb. Two summers ago I was transfigured into a moose (multiple times) by my father, and while I was irritated at him at the time I can say now that it was probably a good experience, even though I cannot consciously recall it. As you may remember, I was also transfigured fully into a rabbit last year during one of your classes. Finally, this past summer I had an experience with polyjuice potion that was something of an in-body, out-of-body occurrence. Sufficed to say, I am quite curious and interested in studying animagi and, perhaps, becoming one. As I am in sixth year and have no interest in competing in the Triwizard Tournament, I will have ample time to devote to said studying. I am aware I've taken up about a dozen of your pieces of parchment. Hopefully this isn't custom-made. Thank you for your time, Kellen Stern Sixth Year, Ravenclaw Kellen set down the quill and looked at the small stack of parchment that was his request letter.
