There is no Professor for Transfiguration, so the school nurse Charlotte Hazelton is going to take over that job for a few lessons. When you enter the large room find a seat anywhere. Against the back wall there are seven rows of chairs, each row raised up farther than the one below it. By one wall is a desk, which you can currently see Professor Hazelton sitting at. Across from the desks there is a large chalkboard that reads:
Professor Hazelton Please find a seat by your name
Now that you see what is written, you notice that there are pieces of paper in front of every chair. The first years are in front, and the seventh years are in back. There is no order of the kids in each year, it's just random. Find your seat, but you can mingle elsewhere in the room until the class starts.
This class was going to be much harder than Muggle Studies. The concept of magic was still foreign to Gem, so she was sure she would be horrible in this class. She sent a shy smile toward the Professor and began looking for where her name was.
As she stepped into the Transfiguration classroom, Lexi knelt down to retie the shoelace on one of her hot pink Converse. Then she stood back up and got a good look at the room. The Healer was going to be teaching us Transfiguration?, she thought, in a moment of confusion, before she shrugged it off and continued into the room. "Good morning Professor Hazelton," she said with a smile, only pausing a moment as she adjusted to the weird feeling of healer-as-professor. That was what the blackboard said, so she'd go with it.
Sending another friendly smile at the little Hufflepuff that was in the room as well, she then set off to look for her name. Assigned seating, which she decided must just be to make things easier on the healer. Assuming she wasn't used to teaching and therefore might not know everyone's name right away. Then she found her name near the middle of the classroom, and things clarified even more for the brunette fourth year. Not only assigned by name, but by year. Hopefully the Transfiguration part at least wouldn't be predictable.

Walking into the room, JD looked around spotting the...school nurse? Well, at least that term they had transfiguration...he thought. His OWL had been disasterous he'd only gotten an A, and really needed to work on his skills, if he was going to pass his NEWT.
Glancing towards the board he saw the note to find his name. Hmmm interesting...turning to face the class, he saw that there were only two students there so far, and the younger was closer to the front. Well, that made sense. Walking further past the older one...what was her name Lacy...Lissy...Lexi that's it Lexi! "Hi Lexi" he said with a grin as he passed her. Finding his seat near the back he plopped down in it, dropping his bag on the floor by his feet.
Sighing as she walked into her next class TJ looked around before spotting the nurse. Yeah, she'd heard something about a substitute. To her it didn't really matter, Transfiguration was a breeze for her. That and potions...
Her eyes drifting over the students in the classroom, she saw name tags in front of each person. A small smirk appearing as she saw hers at the very back of the room. How convenient! Sliding into the seat, she took out her wand twirling it in her fingers waiting for class to start.
Penny sauntered into the Transfiguration class room and halted. The nurse? Quickly scanning the board she nodded her head and looked around. Her name was toward the back of the class, though no too far back it seemed. There weren't but a few students there ahead of her so she made her way to her seat fairly easily.
There was another Ravenclaw in the room already. He was a fairly good looking guy and judging by the seating arrangement, he was also a year older. Interesting.
Just about running into the room, Eric jumped at JD yelling "AAAHHH" and then laughed as he missed and ended up on the floor. "I missed." he snorted amusedly and jumped up onto his feet. "Ooooh, names!" he shuffled around, looking for his name and plonked himself down at his desk. "Professor Hazelton" he read out loud, nodding to the professor.

Watching as a girl walked in and sat almost directly infront of him, JD gave her a lopsided grin, before his attention was drawn towards the person behind her. Watching as Eric dropped to the floor at the girls feet he shook his head rolling his eyes.
Well he wasn't looking for a girlfriend, anyway right? No, too many times burned by too may girls. Though the girl was kinda cute... Drawing his eyes away from her again, he looked to the front of the room. Maybe he could use some extra help...wonder what her name was.

Penny extracted her book and a piece of parchment from her bag. Reaching into a side pocket she tried searching for her quill. She paused for a moment as she felt eyes on her. Turning around she made eye contact with the cute Ravenclaw boy that was behind her. She smiled and then turned back to searching for her quill.
When she hit the bottom of the pocket and there was no quill she frowned. After a thorough search of her bag she discovered that she had no quill. Frustrated she threw the bag back on the floor and sighed. An idea hit her and she smiled.
A look at the professor said they wouldn't start for a while so she turned to her cute housemate. "You wouldn' happen ta have a spare quill that I could borrow? Mine seems to have gone missin'. I think I may have left it 'n Muggle Studies." Her southern accent was much in evidence.
Penny ran a hand through mane of red hair and smiled. "I'm Penny by tha way."

Blushing a little as the girl noticed him watching her, he dropped his gaze quickly. Looking over at Eric, he hoped his friend hadn't caught him watching the girl, if he had JD was sure he wouldn't hear the end of that. Hearing her voice his gaze went back to her quickly realizing she was now talking to him. "Of course, no problem!" he replied with a wink. Merlin did he just wink? What was he thinking, he was done with girls...right?
Passing her his own quill, he grinned "I'm JD by the way." Hearing her say she might have left in Muggle Studies, he nodded, "I thought I saw one sitting on a desk when I left the room." Grabbing his bag he'd dumped on the floor, he dug through it, searching for an extra, hoping he'd gotten an extra for once.
Pssting across the empty desk next to him, where Eric sat on the other side, he asked "Do ye got an extra quill?"

Reaching out she took the quill he held out, their fingers brushing briefly. She blushed a little, grinning all the while. "Nice ta meet ya JD. Thank you." She could feel even more color creeping up her face when he winked.
She chuckled at his mention of her abandoned quill. "I thought I was missin' somethin' when I walked out but didn' give it enough thought apparently." She normally wasn't this scatter brained but it was only the first day of classes. That and she was pretty sure the house elf assigned to their tower had misplaced some of her things.
"So how are ya likin' classes so far?" Lame question.

Seeing her blush as their fingers brushed each others, he grinned dipping his head. What was it with him and girls...did he like getting hurt each time? What was it the professor trying to torment him by putting him next to a cute girl? Yep that was it, they were all out to get him. Including Eric and that vinegar!
"Mebbe we could both go and get it together after class?" it was just to make sure she found it...right? Of course, he had been the last to see it, hadn't he? "I mean I had seen it last, mebbe I'd be able te help."
"So far, 'tis been good. Flying's next..but don' know if I'll go." He'd gotten enough skills there, played in enough games "How about ye?"
She assumed everyone was there. If they weren't they had about a minute to get there, but she was going to go ahead and start class anyway. "Good morning everyone." She stood up and walked to the front of the class. "I am not your normal professor for this class, most of you know that I am the school nurse. But you do not have a teacher for this class, so I will teach it. My name is Professor Hazelton and I will try to learn your names." She wondered if normal teachers did a 'what is your name?' activity, she decided not to.
"To start things off," she began, "If I wanted to transform a dog into a water goblet, does anyone know what incantation I would use?"
Turning his head in JD's direction when he heard a 'psst', Eric smiled and glanced at the girl next to JD. She was.. was she holding JD's quill?! Snorting amusedly, Eric reached into his bag and handed JD a yellow and black quill. Smirking as he overheard JD talking to her, Eric listened interestedly. BAHAHA. JD was NEVER going to hear the end of this. His attention was grabbed by the professor who'd stood up. Ooooh, did he know this question?! "Umm, is it Fera Verto, professor?" He was sure someone had mentioned it last year
Watching two of the students in front of her, well three really, TJ smirked rolling her eyes. How childish...and somehow once again the head boy was once again involved in it. Her wand twirling in her fingers as she listened to the professor ask what the incantation was, but before she could answer the head boy managed to give the answer first.
Penny smiled at JD's offer. Well wasn't that just the sweetest thing. "That would be great." She didn't think there was much else to say on that subject. He continued on about how his day was and then came to flying. She was actually looking forward to that class. Something that she could do well and not have to think about it.
"I was plannin' on goin' to that one. Had a tad headache durin' charms but so far so good."
At that point the Professor started the class by asking a question. She knew that answer but the Head Boy was way ahead of her. With a final smile she turned around and paid attention to the class.

Nodding with a grin on his face, his gaze flickered to Eric when she turned around. Seeing the smirk on his face he stuck out his tongue before turning back to the front. Grabbing the yellow quill he quickly pulled out a parchment. Mmmhmmmmm well at least he's got plans with a girl for after class. More then he could say to Eric, who had one crushing on him and was still totally oblivious. Well the girl was much younger...but well not really that bad. Ellie had been 2 years younger then JD.
Por...favor? Pfft no that was french...I think.... Thought JD. He was horrible at Transfiguration and Charms because it was all remembering the incantations. Not that it would matter, it'd probably start a fire anyway. Slinking down into his desk, he leaned his head sideways as he waited for the professor to ask another question.
Ashlyn grimaced slightly at the professor. Was that what they were doing in class today? Transfiguring dogs into water goblets? The fourth year's eyes scanned the room. Well, she didn't see any dogs so perhaps not. Good, because Ashlyn was not a fan of animals - other than cats, of course, being that they pretty much took care of themselves and did not smell - and that was pretty much the reason she never took Care of Magical Creatures. And if they were turning dogs into goblets, that would be one water goblet she'd not be drinking out of.
She glanced over at the Head Boy as he answered the question, then mentally shrugged. That sounded right. Ashlyn nibbled on the end of her sugar quill before jotting down the incantation on her parchment. Probably something they'd be tested on, but most of all, she hoped she did not need it for class.
"No," Charlotte said to the head boy. "That is incorrect. If you wanted to transfigure a dog into something, you would use the incantation 'Canis Verto.' Does anyone know why?" She was giving them opportunities to answer and earn some points for their house.
Jessa had snapped back to earth. Her hand popped up "Isn't because Canis is the Latin word for dog?" She asked, not completely sure of the language, but she knew it meant DOG. D-O-G. She looked behind her and saw Eric. Oh how she wanted to be right next to him. Jessa flashed him a smile. Then turned her attention back to the class.
Eric and Jessa He's the head boy, She's the Minister's daughter. Can you say "Perfect Couple"?
Seeing JD shy away from answering the question, Eric poked him with his quill. Ha, JD wasn't getting out of participating. Noooo way. He was happy he'd answered the question and was going to volunteer to perform the spell, but FAIIIL. He was wrong! Oooops. Jessa answered though. WOOO! Go Puffs! Smiling back at her, he hoped she'd got it right. Points were a great thing to have. Definitely. AND they were already in the lead. For once
"Yes that is correct," Charlotte said to the young hufflepuff with a smile. "Two points to hufflepuff. Now that you know the gist of it, we're going to do a small activity. "Please get int groups of three, and it there's anyone left over make one group of four." Pause. "Go!" She would tell them what they were doing later.
Jessa smiled at the fact she got points. Woohoo! Partners? She looked instantly at Eric. Perhaps they could have JD or Gem in their group as well. But, she wanted to be with Eric, for sure. She got up at the word 'Go' and walked right over to where Eric was. Jessa smiled. "Will you be my partner?" She asked in a cute tone of voice.

Grinning at the professor's words of getting into groups of 3 JD glanced over at Eric and saw Jessa already there. Nearly bursting into laughter he turned towards the girl infront of him. She was still sitting there alone. Well...he didn't want her alone, right?
Taking a seat on the chair right next to her, he grinned "Wanna be partners? Maybe someone will join us." he added to make it look like logical.
Spotting two of the students infront of her already grouped, TJ walked over to Eric and Jessa. "I'll join you if that's alright." Who knew where Ivan was...and if he did appear, he could probably just join them...right? A lopsided smile went to the two. "Really I am not that bad at Transfiguring things." she added jokingly.
