[12 Transfigurations] - yesterday afternoon
[Before Class]
[did someone - prefect, Head of House, other Professor? - assign you detention? if so, you might have been assigned to come and wax the desks in Professor Mansfield's classroom. once you arrive, she'll be waiting behind her own desk, and hold out her hand:]
Your wand, please.
[During Class]
[when students arrive, upon everyone's desk is a simple ceramic animal of various shape or size. some have a magical creature, some have more mundane ones, like the bulldog on the Professor's own desk.]
Good morning, everyone. Please take your seats. As always, anyone caught chewing gum, sucking sourballs, or sneaking food or sweets of any other fashion in my classes will have it transfigured into something of my own choosing, and then have to share it with the rest of the class.
Now that that's out of the way: First years, please open your textbooks and study the simple movements required to turn a quill into a twig. I expect you to be attempting to write with sticks by the end of the lesson.
Second and third years, you will be transfiguring your animals from ceramic to stone, and pairing up with the fourth and fifth years, who will be animating them for you. If your animal becomes unruly, simply transfigure your chairs to cages and be done with it, you've been in my class long enough at this point not to need me to hold your bloody hands.
Fifth years, you'll be preparing for your OWLs, of course. At the end of the class, you will be helping the other students undo their work - and also responsible for repairing any accidental and improper transfigurations. If you're to pass your OWLs with flying colors and qualify for the Honours-level Sixth and Seventh year Transfiguration courses, I need to know that you can clean up after yourselves.
Any questions?
[After Class]
[once the students start filing out, Olivia gathers up her materials and starts to pack them away, transfiguring them into miniature and arranging them neatly in what looks like a slim silver cigarette case. she tucks that away in the folds of her robes, and then heads for her office. if you need to speak with her, you can either follow her there, or find her there]

[ Frodo very nearly drops the spoon he was holding, juggling it for a bit before finally clamping against his chest. Oh. Oh dear. ]
I-- am sorry to be so very late but I did not wish to bring your tea already cold.

Was he drinking too much again?
