Sitting at her desk in the front, glasses in place, Morrigan didn’t look up as the students entered her class.  This was a mixed class, something special for the end of the year.  Her long red hair was pulled back into a braid which hung over her shoulder and her green eyes remained focused on the scroll she had been reading.  She had heard Fleetfoot…Kendall, she corrected herself mentally for the billionth time in the last month, had taught his first class the previous day.  She had yet to see if he had survived.

She had been avoiding him like the plague itself since that blasted morning Isaac had found her sleeping quite comfortable on Kendall’s chest, trying to deny the effects of the hangover she was suffering from.  Of course, since he wasn’t officially a professor yet, it was relatively easy to do.  She simply avoided common areas as much as possible whenever she could.

Looking up she saw most of the students were seated at took off her glasses, standing and moving around the desk.  She had planned to concentrate more on theory today, wanting to cover Animagus Transfiguration.  She hadn’t felt the need to reveal her own abilities to her students this year, not needing the element of surprise.  She wondered if any of them knew, perhaps informed by a sibling or a friend, that she herself had mastered the form of magic years ago.

“Please take your seats,” she called to those who hadn’t found their places yet in a tone that rose above the other voices and watched as the students scurried to their places.  When there was finally silence she continued, “Today we will be discussing the concept of Animagus Transformation.  Who can tell me what that is?”

((Ok, you may rp me calling on you should you choose to answer the question.  You may also choose to answer incorrectly.  Once someone gives the correct answer no one else me rp answering.

This class will be divided into three parts instead of two.  I will post part two by Sunday June 26th.  If you are going to answer the question please post before then.  You may also ‘arrive’ after I do my second post.))

Stepping into the classroom, Dajda did her best to not draw attention to herself. She did enjoy Transfiguration, but it was one of the more difficult classes for her, and she did not wish to start the year off on a bad foot in this class, after all she barely made the minimum required marks in this class to return this year. She had only hoped she could remember enough from last year (and the summer of studying she did this last break) to give her better marks this year.

Taking her seat, she looked up to where the Professor stood and sucked in a large breath before slowly releasing it. It was a good exercise to calm her nerves and right now she really needed it.  Glancing around the classroom, she noticed that all years were seated in there. It didn't appear that many upper years had decided to take this course, which led Dajda to question of taking a final year in this course was really a wise idea...

"Today we will be discussing the concept of Animagus Transformation.  Who can tell me what that is?”

Well, that was easy. At least, she thought it was. Looking around, she noticed that no one raised their hands. Thinking for a moment, she raised her own. "Animagus Transformation isn't anything like Transfiguring someone into an animal, Professor Ramsay, though it is understandable why many would get that confused," Dajda said after the Professor called on her to answer the question. Heavens, she hoped she was answering correctly.

"When transfiguring someone into an Animal, that individual must wait to be transformed back before they become human again," Dajda continued. "They lose human abilities as well... When one masters the art of Animagus, that individual can change to and from an animal or insect at will. They keep their human instincts and senses. Many believe that witches and wizards choose to master Animagus Transfiguration so they will be permitted to do unlawful acts without being recognized, but, of course, that does not apply for all people who  can master it. Mastering Animagus Transfiguration is difficult, and there is a very small number of those who are registered as Animagus."

Dajda kept her hand up during her entire answer, and lowered it slowly once she was finished speaking. Maybe that wasn't the answer the professor was looking for, but as far as the Hufflepuff girl could remember, she didn't throw any fantasy-facts in the mix of her answer.
