Default Transfiguration Lesson 2

When you show up for this afternoon’s Transfiguration class on the second floor, you will find the door closed and a lesson already in session. It’s not your lesson though, so better not interrupt unless you want to get on the bad side of an angry Beauxbatons professor. The classroom has clearly been double-booked. Nightmare!!

But don’t worry, Barlow has charmed a large sign on the door for his students.

Quote:
HOGWARTS TRANSFIGURATION
Relocated to
Dining Chamber
That’s right.

Unable to book a different classroom at such short notice, today’s lesson has been relocated to the palace dining chamber. It was this or the grounds and it was a tad bit chilly for that.

Luckily, the three, long dining tables have not yet been set for this evening’s dinner and Barlow is sat at the middle table waiting. “Everyone around this one, please,” he instructs when students gradually start filtering in. “Take a seat, take a seat!”

OOC: Hello, hello! Welcome to the dining chamber for the second RPed Transfig lesson of the term! You’ve got 24 hours to post your arrivals before we move on <3 Class has started!


Lesson Progression
Greetings and Question 1

Carsyn was unsurprisingly on-time for Transfiguration considering she had to detour the moment she got to the classroom on the second floor. And actually had a brief panic attack thinking she was late for one of her favorite classes before catching sight of the note scribbled onto the door. Good thing for that too, or else she'd probably be used as an example and the fourth year shuddered to think what one did as transfiguration for punishment in France.

No matter though because here she was, at the dining chamber, for a lesson not meal.

"Good afternoon, Professor. Does this mean food is allowed in today's lesson?" You know, since it wasn't the typical classroom. Asking for a friend, and all.

Uhhhhhhhh interesting, they were not in the classroom today? Hmm. The first year was just slightly out of breath as she made her way into the dining room, having practically run all the way here from the second floor so that she wouldn't be late. She followed the older Gryffindor in and took a seat beside the professor in the middle of the table. Might as well, since she was sure she'd be needing his help later. A dining room was a weird choice for a lesson, but maybe they'd be transfiguring forks and spoons and knives and cups, and making them dance and sing a dinner song! Or was that more of a Charms thing to do?

Either way, Bernie caught her breath and then greeted the two other people in the room. "Hello, hello." Then she couldn't resist chiming in with the older girl, who had helped her in this same class one time. "Yeah, professor, are we going to make FOOD appear here?" Don't get her hopes up if NOT.

Lucas stared awkwardly at the large sign on the door, and then into the classroom that was, uh, going on, and then back at the sign again. If he was being completely honest with himself, he didn't know if this was good news or not. Sure, he liked that they weren't sharing a classroom with a bunch of kids he didn't know but he also didn't know how to feel about the Dining Chamber being their classroom. Would Barlow get into trouble for something like this? Please don't get him fired, he actually liked the man's weirdness.

Turning around, the Gryffindor walked back along the corridor and towards the Dining Chamber. Which, thankfully, wasn't far from the room they were supposed to be in. Walking in and over to an empty spot opposite Barlow, he just caught the sound of Bernie and Carsyn asking about food but decided not to comment. He knew which answer he would prefer, though.

Right. Barlow. "Hey, Professor." Smile. And a generic smile for the two girls.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Claudine was in a huff when she arrived at the Dining Chamber. What a waste of time it had been, to trek to the classroom, only to find out that the lesson would be here. She tucked a strand of hair that had come loose from its plait as she approached the table where the professor and the other two students occupied. "Good afternoon,'' Claudine said stiffly to no one in particular. She did wonder if Barlow would get her name right today.

Normally, Claudine would have taken up residence as far away from the front but Bernie was right there and she did want to sit with her friend. So, after a moment's hesitation, the Snakette reluctantly slipped into the space next to the Lioness. She remained silent but Bernie would notice her. Claudine's own attention was on her precious sketch pad which she had placed on the table. It would be needing more pages to be attached as the book was almost coming to an end.

It was a good thing that Valencia always left with more than enough time to get to the classroom. Today she actually needed that extra time as the location was unexpectedly different.

"Hello Professor." she greeted as she walked in. She took a seat at one of the long tables hoping that her stomach wouldn't start growling since she associated this place with food.

Avalon heart had nearly jumped out of her chest when she had seen the Transfiguration classroom already occupied upon her arrival. In her whole time at Hogwarts, she had never been late to a class. And for it to be Transfiguration with kind Professor Barlow?! Thankfully, she noticed the sign a few moments later and headed off in the direction of the dining room. Seemed like an odd place for a lesson, but she supposed it was better than being outside. It was miserably cold around the grounds lately.

"Good afternoon Professor Barlow," Avalon said with a smile as she plopped down in a seat. It looked like today would be a very communal lesson, judging by the fact that they were all seated around the table. She stuffed her hands into her pockets, trying to warm up a bit. Avalon was definitely ready for warmer weather.

In his defense, how was he supposed to have known that the muffled chatter on the other side of the door wasn't his own peers or professor. He was on time and then some and unassuming...only to swing open the door and have every single person within turn and glare at him. His ignorance of the French language spared him whatever words, malevolent or not, that were directed his direction as he swung the door right back shut again and only then noticed the sign.

Brilliant. Bloody brilliant.

Eiji had taken to mostly tuning out additional signs since most never pertained to him and had words scribbled on them that he couldn't understand. If it wasn't on the Slytherin announcement board...he didn't pay attention. Looked like the yolk was on his face for this one.

Grumbling and muttering to himself, the fifth year dragged himself to the dining chamber of all places...and had a scowl on his face as he approached the table and slipped into a vacant seat towards the back of the table, his ears a bit pink from residual embarrassment that he was doing his best to ignore.

The dinning hall?? Well now this class had some potential today! Food, glorious food!!!! Blake liked food and having class in the place for food seemed like a great idea. So waltzing in .. he still shuddered at the thought of waltzing ... not great memories for waltzing ... and he noticed Claudine and Bernadette up front, but after the latest disaster with them he was certain he didn't want to sit by them ... plus Claudine was just plain rude for what Blake thought was no reason .. so taking a seat slightly away from them, he felt his stomach grumble ... oh he really hoped that they would be doing something with food.

Tina was looking forward to a nice normal transfiguration lesson, but as she made her way down the hall, she was surprised to hear voices rising from.the classroom. Her heart sank. Oh no! Was she late? How had that happened? She'd never been late to a lesson in her life! Maybe her watch had stopped? She checked the watch on her wrist and heard a soft ticking. No. that wasn't it.

It was only then that she registered that the voice coming from the classroom was speaking French, and the sign on the door confirmed what she already suspected. Double booked classroom. Of course it was. Gee, I wonder how that happened, Tina thought sarcastically. Sure, Professor Barlow struck her as a bit odd sometimes, but she didn't think he'd be scatterbrained enough to double book the transfiguration* classroom. She suspected there'd been some creative schedule shuffling on the Beauxbatons professor's part, but she supposed it didn't matter why the classroom was double booked. The point was that it was, and now Tina had to high tail it to the dining chamber.

She breathed a silent sigh of relief as she walked into the dining chamber to find she was still on time. Whew! "Hello, Professor Barlow," she greeted, nodding politely in acknowledgement as she joined everyone at the middle table. She took the nearest empty seat and neatly arranged her supplies on the table in front of her, tucking her bag under the table and out of the way. She looked toward the professor. prepared for the start of the lesson.

For once, there had been a bit of a matter of losing rack of time on Carys’ part. Namely, she’d gone back to basically hiding in the art studio between lessons, and it had only been a glance at her watch that told her she ought to have already been on her way to Transfiguration. Luckily, she’d thought, it wasn’t far, but between the voices inside speaking French and the subsequent notice of a sign on the door proving she wasn’t yet late, she’d moved on to the dining hall. With absolutely no question of the double booking having not been an accident at all. Between everything that had been blamed on the Hogwarts students, it was only time before it was absolute war and she’d go back into hiding.

At least the dining room was nice, and presumably there wasn’t anything they could be accused of destroying inadvertently. Hopefully.

“Good afternoon, Professor Barlow,” she said in greeting, slipping into a seat near her twin nearly unconsciously. Strength in numbers, and besides, Carsyn ought to have known about her flashbacks to first year and all the ridiculous rules and accusations then. She knew Oceanus and probably Jackson knew from her telling them, but her sister just ought to know?

Cecelia didn't mind class in the dining hall so much, though she was PRETTY sure that sitting in a place she was usually sat eating was going to make her hungry. Well, hungrier. Cece was usually hungry. Oh well.

"Hi Professor." She offered a wave and a small smile before moving to take a seat next to one of her older friends. "Hi Lucas." He was nice, Lucas was. Even partnered with her sometimes, which she liked. Maybe if they needed partners today, she could ask him. Maybe.

Having walked alllll the way to the transfiguration room only to hear French leaking from around the door frame, Holly wasn’t impressed. Especially when she heard her classmates turning around and walking back past her before she could even read the sign on the door. Turning on her heel a few feet from the door, she simply fell in line with her friends that were walking -- well. She didn’t know, she hadn’t read the sign, but she trusted them to lead her to …. Wherever they were going.

A whole group of kids couldn’t be wrong.

It was flawless logic.

It also meant that Holly could zone out and let herself be pushed along like a fish in a shoal. Her thoughts wandered between her upcoming gymnastics competition, Avery, Alis’ weird mood and Jorgie’s newest nail polish colours. She really needed to remember to speak to her after class tonight, her polish was starting to chip -- that just wouldn’t do.

Blinking, she looked at the Professor as she ended up taking the first seat she came too. “Hi Professor.” she said with a part-smile. She wouldn’t be rude, but she was startled she got here so quickly. Huh.

Thanks shoal. You all did good.

........ Uhhoh. With a small frown, Holly realised she hadn't even checked to see who she was sitting next to, which really wasn't like her. Whoops. She hoped Alis or Jorgie ended up nearby. What had gotten into her today?

Analiese was panting by the time she got to the dining hall. Running around the Beauxbatons ground floor was really recommended if you wanted to start panting. When she got to the Transfiguration classroom, French was coming from inside. Then she saw the sign and ran all the way to the Dining Chamber. She walked into the room and greeted Professor Barlow. "Hello, professor.", she said, with a polite nod of the head. She sat down on to a seat and waited.

Obviously they weren't going to be conjuring food, as it was the first of the five exceptions of Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration (someone seemed to know a lot about this). Maybe they were conjuring water? But that was easy enough, a simple Aguamenti could do that.

Perfect, the sign had worked!

Barlow offered the Gryffindor a smile as she walked in and took a seat. His smile turned thoughtful at her question. He hadn’t planned on food, but then again, he hadn’t exactly planned for a lesson in the dining chamber either.

“We’ll see, we’ll see.”

Was Barlow going to be on the receiving end of stern words from the disrupted Beauxbatons professor later? Another thing the Transfiguration professor was currently oblivious of. It was a long list.

Something he WASN’T oblivious to, was the mumbling and grumbling from Eiji Rasting. He sort of expected it from the Slytherin now. He’d be shocked to see the boy come in radiating joy and cheer.

“Mr Rasting.” He sent the boy a nod.

Eiji was followed by one of the younger Slytherins and Barlow sent a grin Blake’s way. “Nice to see you, Mr Ryan. Your last assignment was wonderful, good job.”

It was only then that she registered that the voice coming from the classroom was speaking French, and the sign on the door confirmed what she already suspected. Double booked classroom. Of course it was. Gee, I wonder how that happened, Tina thought sarcastically. Sure, Professor Barlow struck her as a bit odd sometimes, but she didn't think he'd be scatterbrained enough to double book the transfiguration* classroom. She suspected there'd been some creative schedule shuffling on the Beauxbatons professor's part, but she supposed it didn't matter why the classroom was double booked. The point was that it was, and now Tina had to high tail it to the dining chamber.

She breathed a silent sigh of relief as she walked into the dining chamber to find she was still on time. Whew! "Hello, Professor Barlow," she greeted, nodding politely in acknowledgement as she joined everyone at the middle table. She took the nearest empty seat and neatly arranged her supplies on the table in front of her, tucking her bag under the table and out of the way. She looked toward the professor. prepared for the start of the lesson.


Oh, and here was Tina. Barlow waved his fingers in her direction as she took a seat and began arranging her supplies. “Hello, hello, hello!”

Luckily, she’d thought, it wasn’t far, but between the voices inside speaking French and the subsequent notice of a sign on the door proving she wasn’t yet late, she’d moved on to the dining hall. With absolutely no question of the double booking having not been an accident at all. Between everything that had been blamed on the Hogwarts students, it was only time before it was absolute war and she’d go back into hiding.

At least the dining room was nice, and presumably there wasn’t anything they could be accused of destroying inadvertently. Hopefully.

“Good afternoon, Professor Barlow,” she said in greeting, slipping into a seat near her twin nearly unconsciously. Strength in numbers, and besides, Carsyn ought to have known about her flashbacks to first year and all the ridiculous rules and accusations then. She knew Oceanus and probably Jackson knew from her telling them, but her sister just ought to know?


The chances of Barlow getting these twin girls mixed up was very high, despite one being a Gryffindor and the other a Hufflepuff. Were they prepared for that? Hopefully. He wasn’t good with names at the BEST of times, after all.

“Nice to see you, Miss Rose.”

Maybe he’d just call them both Miss Rose to avoid confusion, yes.

“Hi back at ya, Cecelia.” She got a wave right back. “Hope you’re prepared, we’ve got a fun lesson planned.” A LIE. He hadn’t anticipated a relocation and had NOTHING prepared.

A whole group of kids couldn’t be wrong.

It was flawless logic.

It also meant that Holly could zone out and let herself be pushed along like a fish in a shoal. Her thoughts wandered between her upcoming gymnastics competition, Avery, Alis’ weird mood and Jorgie’s newest nail polish colours. She really needed to remember to speak to her after class tonight, her polish was starting to chip -- that just wouldn’t do.

Blinking, she looked at the Professor as she ended up taking the first seat she came too. “Hi Professor.” she said with a part-smile. She wouldn’t be rude, but she was startled she got here so quickly. Huh.

Thanks shoal. You all did good.

........ Uhhoh. With a small frown, Holly realised she hadn't even checked to see who she was sitting next to, which really wasn't like her. Whoops. She hoped Alis or Jorgie ended up nearby. What had gotten into her today?


In all honesty, Barlow didn’t even notice Holly arrive and sit down. He was starting to get a little concerned about what he was even going to teach and was therefore, was just a tad bit distracted. And he was distracted on a good day, so that was saying something.

Sorry, Holly.

"Hello, professor.", she said, with a polite nod of the head. She sat down on to a seat and waited.

Obviously they weren't going to be conjuring food, as it was the first of the five exceptions of Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration (someone seemed to know a lot about this). Maybe they were conjuring water? But that was easy enough, a simple Aguamenti could do that.


He dragged his attention back into the chamber just in time to notice Analiese take a seat. “Hello, hello,” he greeted back absent-mindedly.

This was okay, right? He could just wing it.


After waiting an extra five minutes, just in case there were stragglers who’d been outsmarted by the sign he’d left on the classroom door, Barlow got clumsily to his feet and glanced towards the large, dining chamber doors. He wasn’t sure if he ought to close them or not, but ultimately decided against it. 1. Just in case there were still kiddos making their way here and 2. Because Headmistress Desmarais was sort of frightening and he didn’t want to go touching stuff he wasn’t supposed to.

“I’m glad to see you all here. Sorry for the slight hiccup,” he started with an awkward chuckle. “I’m positive I booked the classroom but---” But maybe he hadn’t? No, he definitely had! Ahh, no matter. “It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ll just have to work with what we’ve got that’s all!”

He’d planned on teaching an activity which had required the use of the practice mannequins but…

Barlow scratched his forehead in thought. Was it obvious he had no idea what to do here on out? Because he totally didn’t. Ummmm. During all the glancing about his dark eyes momentarily fell on the staff table and he suddenly cracked a grin. The staff table reminded him --

“I tried snails for the first time last week. Delicious! Exquisite! How have you bunch been faring with the french cuisine? Do you have any new favourite dishes?”

Random, absolutely. But he needed to keep them busy while he figured out what on earth they could do!


OOC: Eeeee, thanks lovelies. This is the first question and you’ve got 24 hours to get your answer in. The class has officially started so if you haven’t posted a greeting, jump on in like you’ve been here all along. Or don’t, that’s up to you! ;]

Bernie right behind her asking about food appearing, to which Carsyn wanted to mention Gamp's Laws of Elemental Transfiguration to her, but then the twin arrived to sit next to her and Carsyn gave her a small smile, to hopefully offer some sort of comfort. Yes, twin telepathy was a thing and she knew Carys enough to know her reactions and impulses were quite different from her own. Actually anyone would know that and it was definitely one of the key differences between them.

What was up with the small talk, Professor Barlow? Because this didn't seem like it was transfiguration? Except maybe she was right in that they would be getting food during this lesson?

"It's not a favorite or even new, but French Onion Soup is quite delicious." Okay, so that probably wasn't even French, but it had French in the name.

Miss BLAKE?

What?

Had she gotten married to Blake Ryan in her sleep and woken up unaware of such a thing? Then again, she would have been known as MRS. Blake… ew. Claudine wrinkled her nose at Barlow in disapproval. Why was it so hard for him to remember their names? Speaking of Blake Ryan… the girl threw him a glare as though Barlow’s mistake was all his fault. As far as she was concerned, Blake was a big baby and she didn’t pay the slightest attention to babies. Also, she was pleased that he was sitting away from her and Bernie.

Claudine pushed her Housemate from her mind as the lesson got started. Or at least, she thought it had. What a weird question to ask as part of a lesson. And snails… EW. She stared at Barlow. Why did the man look so lost?

And no, she wasn’t about to talk about herself for all to know what she liked or didn’t like. Or if her digestive system agreed with the strange foods.

French food, huh? Like the salads and complete LACK of good old complex carbs? Nope, not a fan. Phoebe wasn't new to French food, but she was new to a lack of creature comforts. She kicked her heels lightly against the floor and considered a polite answer.

"Professor, I like French fries. And.. French bread. And croissants!" But she'd liked those things before coming to school, and not even all the salads in the world could change that.

Wait, they couldn't make food appear out of thin air? That news made Bernie pout a little. This was the WORST news she could receive today. "That's not what the Headmaster said," the first year muttered, convinced that Barlow wouldn't hear her anyway, like all those times she'd shouted for help with her eyebrows.

Speaking of that time, Claudine was here beside her now, so that helped. Bernie grinned at her friend and then almost LAUGHED out LOUD when Barlow called her Mrs. Blake. She slammed her own hand to her mouth to cover her laughter. "What IF," she started to say from behind her hand, then started LAUGHING again at the idea. Claudine and Blake? Yeah, that was a likely match. They'd fight like ALL the TIME. She couldn't help staring at her Slytherin arch-nemesis some even as she sniggered behind her hand... Blake and Claudine, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...

EHEHEHEHEHEEEEEE.

At least they were getting to talk about food? Even if they couldn't make it appear? It took a minute, but Bernie's giggles finally subsided enough for her to answer the professor's question. Ew, they ACTUALLY had snails at the staff table? She hadn't gotten to try any of those. Were they any GOOD? Could you slurp 'em like oysters??!

"Macarons," the first year answered a moment's thought. "But they don't really let us eat those here, do they?" Maybe that's why the Headmistress was always so grouchy; she needed some SUGAR in her life. She liked Phoebe's answer about FRENCH fries. "I like the French cheese...." in those rare moments when they let them have a few crumbles on their SALADS and junk. Camembert, brie, bleu.... they needed more of that. And more macarons, s'il vous plaît.

Yes, you were professor. Eiji would apologize to you about it but he did not particularly feel like it and he was banking a little on the fact that the French Transfiguration professor did not know who he was. But, for the record, what they had been practicing looked rather fascinating.

Something that Eiji could not say the same of as his own professor opened up the lesson. To discuss food.

Right.

His knee jerk reaction was to assume that they were going to be having a discussion on Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, but he was personally more interested in the possibility of using snails as a transfiguration medium. He could even slip a few into his pocket to be used later for brewing.

As usual, Eiji remained quiet through this first phase of question and answering. Professor Barlow had asked about new favorite dishes and he had precisely none of those. Simply meals that he tolerated more than others - namely the various quiches and he had taken to the buckwheat crepes.

Blake nearly feel out of his chair when her heard Miss Blake ... aka Claudine. He did a double take to make sure he wasn't being called a girl ... after all what an insult .. girls were stupid ... girls. And Bernadette was laughing ... he thought they had at least made some progress after the dancing effort ... but Claudine could be a bad influence ... that's for sure

Don't worry Claudine I would never stoop as to your level." He added sticking his tongue out at her for good measure.

And then the lesson had started ... or at least some what started, they were talking about food!! So that had it's merits! "I tried the snails to." He added thinking of how brave he had been giving them a try ... "They were gross." He added being reminded at how quickly he had spit them out.

"I've tried the french's quiche lorraine professor and their escargots." Cole raised his hand to answer from his chair a bit ways down the middle dining table. "I think the quiche was much more delicious than the slimy escargots." He usually didn't like slimy, gross things in his mouth so the snails had gone down with much, much difficulty. The french cheeses and croissants we're nice too. What had french cuisine to do with transfiguration though Cole wondered to himself.

Cecelia LIKED the sound of a fun lesson and she grinned a little, sitting up some, completely unaware that the man was bluffing. "I'm always prepared for fun, Professor." Always.

Thinking of foods she'd enjoyed here was KIND of hard because some of the dishes looked funny and smelled funny and she was a little reluctant to try things until someone ELSE did and didn't perish. Still, there was something. "I like croissants with strawberry jam."

Holly on the other hand, didn’t even notice that the Professor hadn’t replied to her own greeting…. Had she even said hello? She couldn’t remember. She was still too busy thinking about what she could get Cam for his birthday later in the month - especially without being so close to Hogsmede now… Hopefully she’d be able to find something. If not, she was going to end up making something and that wasn’t really her style… she didn’t have a creative bone in her body. As much as the gymnast hated to admit it.

She was so intent on her thoughts that she missed his musing over the classroom - but only heard his question. Food. They were in transfiguration and talking about food??? Maybe he was going to show them how to transfigure a cake. That would actually be useful. She could send a birthday cake to Cameron then.

Shrugging her shoulder lightly, Holly put her hand in the air. ”I like their ratatouille. It tastes better here for some reason.” They probably knew some secret ingredient that just made it taste better.

He had no idea what had gotten the group of first years so worked up, but Barlow raised an eyebrow at each and every one of them. He wasn’t the stern type and probably couldn’t even intimidate a crup so the chances of it having an effect were slim, but it was a try. “Settle down, settle down. And you, you keep that tongue in your mouth where it belongs Mr Ryan.”

Imagine Desmarais waltzing in and finding kiddos with tongues out at her dining tables!? Terrifying.

As for their answers?

“Not cheesy macarons though, I hope.” Were those a thing? He hoped not. He smiled at Bernie before turning to Blake, slightly offended. “Gross!? Did you dip them in the garlic butter? DIVINE!”

Nothing from Claudine though? Hmm. Well then.

Something that Eiji could not say the same of as his own professor opened up the lesson. To discuss food.

Right.

His knee jerk reaction was to assume that they were going to be having a discussion on Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, but he was personally more interested in the possibility of using snails as a transfiguration medium. He could even slip a few into his pocket to be used later for brewing.

As usual, Eiji remained quiet through this first phase of question and answering. Professor Barlow had asked about new favorite dishes and he had precisely none of those. Simply meals that he tolerated more than others - namely the various quiches and he had taken to the buckwheat crepes.



……… nothing from you, Eiji?

Barlow glanced at the boy, noting the silence from that side of the table.

Had the Slytherin sussed out his delaying tactics? “Not a fan of the cuisine, Mr Rasting?” He asked, hoping to distract him. “It’s not all bad, I heard coq au vin is on the menu for this evening.”

The french cheeses and croissants we're nice too. What had french cuisine to do with transfiguration though Cole wondered to himself.


Oh, another one who wasn’t a fan of the snails?

Were their taste buds OKAY?

“But imagine snails in a quiche, that would be fantastic.”
Maybe he’d speak with the house-elves, see if that was something they could knock up. Hmm.

Thinking of foods she'd enjoyed here was KIND of hard because some of the dishes looked funny and smelled funny and she was a little reluctant to try things until someone ELSE did and didn't perish. Still, there was something. "I like croissants with strawberry jam."


Hah, fun. Oh. Yes, right. Absolutely.

He wasn’t sure what the likelihood of that truly was. He was still thinking on the spot here, okay?

“Croissants are a classic, you can’t go wrong with croissants. And the addition of strawberry jam is definitely a good one. Thank you, Cecelia.”

If not, she was going to end up making something and that wasn’t really her style… she didn’t have a creative bone in her body. As much as the gymnast hated to admit it.

She was so intent on her thoughts that she missed his musing over the classroom - but only heard his question. Food. They were in transfiguration and talking about food??? Maybe he was going to show them how to transfigure a cake. That would actually be useful. She could send a birthday cake to Cameron then.

Shrugging her shoulder lightly, Holly put her hand in the air. ”I like their ratatouille. It tastes better here for some reason.” They probably knew some secret ingredient that just made it taste better.


“Ratatouille, yes. Can’t say I’m a huge fan but it’s not bad,” Barlow mused, “and don’t believe what you hear, there’s been one student spreading rumours that the ratatouille is made from rats. I can assure you all it isn’t.”


Okay then, enough stalling. Time to figure out where to take things from here.

His question had been an attempt to buy some extra time, but talks of cuisine and dishes along with their current location in the dining chamber had given him an idea. Was it a good idea? He supposed they'd find out in due course.

“Alrighty then, so it’s common knowledge -” at least it should be amongst the older students, or those who took the time to read their Transfiguration textbooks, “- that it’s not possible to conjure food. Food is one of the exceptions in Gamp’s Law.” Just as he had very briefly mentioned earlier.

“So what I want you to consider is how else could wizarding folk use magic to aid them during mealtimes? Specifically Transfiguration if you can, but all answers are welcome.”


OOC: Here we go, folks! Question 2! Again, you've got about 24 hours if you want to get an answer in for this one. Thanks for taking part up until now, ily and all your charries ugh <3
