Zach tilted his head in interest as his and Alyssa's patronus' seemed to intertwine. The once angry wolf was contently nuzzling Alyssa's graceful dragon. He had heard of this type of thing happening before but couldn't place where he'd seen it or what it meant. Zachary raised one eyebrow at Alyssa, smiling slightly as he gestured to the patronus'. Zach turned around as the professor began speaking to Laurence and without thinking, listened into their conversation. He lifted his head slightly and caught Laurence's eye when he muttered something along the lines of his parents splitting up. He suddenly felt an immense connection towards him, having gone through the same thing and took a few steps towards him. Zach gave him a pat on the back, putting an arm around his shoulder in a kind motion of support that didn't need any words. Then Laurence referred to his wolf and Alyssa's dragon which were happily enjoying each other's company. He bit his lip, clearing his throat and leaving Alyssa to answer.

Casirnir made her way to her lesson, nerves building up inside her as she grew nearer and nearer to the classroom. She was running slightly late and this had never happened before. She entered the Charms class, nodding an apology to the professor before quietly taking a seat at the back and taking out her quill, ink and parchment, ready for the lesson.

Tess observed the new transfiguration professor from the back of the class. He appeared much more proactive than the last professor so perhaps at the end of this year she might get a decent grade to finish off. It wasn't her favourite lesson but when she heard the words 'human transfiguration' exit the professors mouth, she suddenly wanted to concentrate a lot more than before.

Eve giggled as Julian mentioned she'd got 'some ferocious warpaint already prepared'. Then her eyes widened in realisation and she reached for her top lip coated in milk, wiping it away with the back of her sleeve. She found her face flushed, turning a reddish colour again but she couldn't stop laughing. How long had it been on there! Evelyn raised her eyebrows when Julian answered confidently that he would be entering the tournament. She checked the time, they were seriously late. Eve had been enjoying the flow of the conversation she'd forgotten all about lessons. "Maybe we could meet again?" she asked, surprising herself with how outgoing she was being as she stood up. "But not bumping into each other?" Her eyes sparkled and she tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.

A few moments after Saran left, Jacob decided it was about time he made his way to his first period. He casually entered the potions class, slipping in at the back so the professor wouldn't notice arrival and think he had been there all along.

Jasper, surprised Cartia hadn't already searched it up in the index and found the page, cleared his throat. "I take a more practical approach to my lessons," he informed the class, walking back and forth in front of the black board. "It has been stated many times that human Transfiguration can go badly wrong when performered poorly as the participant has the risk of getting stuck in his or her transfigured state so," he paused, "listen carefully." He seized his own copy of the textbook, the students had brought out onto their desks and ran a quick hand through his dark brown hair. "Working in front of mirrors," Jasper flicked his wand and upon each pupil's table a mirror appeared, "you will begin changing the colour of your own eyebrows." Jasper pondered if the class would be able to take on the task without fail as with other classes he had taught, most of the class tended to make an unfortunate mistake. He raised his voice as students rose out of their chairs and moved around, "Can anyone tell me the incantation that can be used to transform the colour of the caster's eyebrows?"

Alyssa Denton / Slytherin head girl + Seeker + team captain / 6th year / Straight / 16 / location: the great hall / tags: Zach, Laurence, flo

She looked from Zach to Laurence and back again, she had never seen Zach act like that but she knew what that mean to both of them. Although she didn’t have a good relationship with her parents and they weren’t exactly apart she felt how they both felt. She walked over and hugged both of them into a group hug, she now knew what was going on but really did not feel like explaining it, as it was very complicated. ”Um, I don’t exactly know.” she lied hoping they wouldn’t notice how she lies, biting down on her tongue while her ears turned red. She turned towards the professor hoping she would explain so she wouldn’t have to go through the long explanation. She smiled at the thought of it thoug, could he actually like her, the way she used to like him? It couldn’t be possible, not if somehow in the few weeks they got to know each other better, could it?

Her smile soon turned to a slight frown, she felt bad for those students who had to go through that at home. ”Actually Laurence, a golden eagle is very rare. Sure you could have an eagle but a golden one is better, it means you have strength and the ability to always look to the bright side!” She said as her smile came back, she turned around as Laurence asked what was happening with two patronuses. No way, that couldn’t be happening, that wasn’t possible when your only 17. ”Well it looks like you two have either a very close relationship,” she looked around the room, noticing no other patronuses do that. ”or there is true love between you two. I know it sounds weird now, but most of the time magic is never wrong.” she claimed to the three students in front of her. She was happy for the two who’s patronuses intertwined, they could be really good friends or they could secretly like each other. She hated doing this as she thought it was weird but she kind of shipped Alyssa and Zach. Kind of...

It wasn't that Blair disliked defense against the dark arts, she didn't really. In fact it tended to be one of her better subjects, but today she found herself skidding into class halfway through the lesson. Oh thank merlin, its chaos in here, maybe Professor Jackson won't notice I was late... It could've been the fact that she had somehow lost her clean robes this morning, or that she had slept in past breakfast, or maybe even that she couldn't find her last can of cat food (she was expecting more in the mail from her parents that morning, but since she had missed breakfast she could only hope someone had grabbed it for her), or possibly a combination of all those things. Add on the moving staircases and Blair really had it in for her this morning.

She slipped into the classroom, patronuses flying everywhere, sparks of failed attempts busting out of some wands, and cries of happiness and frustration from students sounding all about. Glad I practiced this over the summer, Blair thought as she pulled out her wand and tucked a strand of her blonde hair out of her eyes. She couldn't imagine being one of the few kids in the room who couldn't produce a patronus, she would be humiliated.

While Professor Jackson busied herself fawning over Alyssa and Zach, Blair snuck in next to Laurence. She didn't know the boy well, or, I guess very well for that matter. Being in the same house and the same age they had grown up alongside each other, but it seemed their friends never really crossed and they never became close. Which also didn't make sense, Blair was a sucker for any guy (or girl) who was flirty and adventurous. Maybe this was the year? "I hope you don't mind if I join your group," Blair said smirking. Without waiting for a response, and being the show-off she was, she pointed her wand out and called out, "Expecto Patronum!". This spell had been a little bit of trouble for her learning, as inside she had quite an identity crisis. She grew up very comfortably with stable parents and a good childhood, but never really knew what made her happiest, or what her purpose in life was (she still didn't know). She always admired those who knew what their passion was. While Blair enjoyed many things, not one memory of one particular thing could conjure a patronus. After what seemed like forever, she had realized what made her happiest was the nostalgia for her childhood. When she thought about growing up on the coast with her older brother, riding her bike and playing with her bunny, very quickly a large scraggly dog, colored silky blue from the spell, emerged from the tip of her wand bounding about in big leaps. An Irish Wolfhound! Blair was ecstatic when she found out that that was her patronus. Many hadn't heard of the breed before, but being the nerd for animals she was, Blair had; large dogs they were, with the build of a greyhound, size of a Great Dane, and scraggly grey fur. Known for being calm, courageous, and full of dignity. She smiled guiding the large scraggly dog closer to her, thinking it was shame patronuses didn't have the texture of real animals.

( house: hufflepuff ) ( location: transfiguration ) ( tagged: cartia, prof woods )

"Well had you asked me the same question last year, I would have said no. I had friends on the teams but I never really considered watching as I had little understanding of the game as a whole. Now, I've decided that I don't care if I don't understand, being a supportive friend is important." She answered easily and with a smile, opening her textbook to a page that she had previously marked. Human Transfiguration. Flora probably new the words on this page inside out as she had read it so often. Listening as Professor Woods spoke up once more, she raised her hand.

"Crinus Muto, the spell can also be used to change the colour of the hair on your head." The girl smiled as she gave her answer, excited to show how well her practice had paid off over the summer. She did think that solely changing the colour of your eyebrows was pretty funny, especially when you changed them to a bright colour that didn't match your hair.

━━ CARTIA smiled. sometimes just being there for someone was better than not being there. it was a muggle way of thinking, that not everything had to be spoken about or had some magic to do with it, sometimes it was just better to be in the moment and understand things later. the gryffindor didn't become discouraged as the professor seemed disappointed she didn't know where human transfiguration was in the textbook.

AS flora answered the question sweetly, the act of changing hair color made her link back to something she had studied last year. "a metamorphmagus?" she piped up. now she knew where they were regarding human transformation. one thing cartia wasn't the best at was the idea of putting her hand up and waiting to be called on. if she had a question or an answer she was the one to blurt it out, no questions asked. she batted away the flyaways on the top of her head, smoothing them down the best she could.

━━ LAURENCE smiled at zach when he patted laurence on the back. gulping down what wasn't there, his mouth was dry. he'd have to stop somewhere after class to get a drink. he felt reassurance rush through him with the silent action that zach had performed, not even realizing that another slytherin student had joined their little circle. turning to the girl, whom he realized was another sixth year, just in accelerated classes like alyssa he presumed. he recognized her as blair. he was set to reply as the professor cooed over zachary and alyssa, but the younger slytherin began her incantation before he could speak.

"SHOW off," he smirked and chuckled. "the more the merrier, blair. as long as there's no ravenclaws." laurence was sure that once he met someone regardless of house he'd be fine with them, it was just the fact that ravenclaw had beaten slytherin so many times that a sour taste was left in the young mans mouth. above them the patrnous' danced from all around the classroom. blairs incantation produced a canine. for a second he thought it was the same as zach's, a gray wolf that showed protection and leadership - but upon closer inspection it didn't growl like the wolf had.

"A wolfhound?" he question blair, turning to face her now. "i thought it was a wolf, like zach's." he moved his head back in motion to where zach was. he didn't really know if they'd met before. with his wand still in hand, he spoke up to the professor, "professor? how does one banish the patrnous? or does it have to protect against something for it to disappear?" laurence put the hand-held end of his wand into his mouth, his teeth gripping it and he undid the button that kept his robe closed, before returning his wand to his right hand where it belonged.

Blair laughed as he pointed out her gloating. She watched his eagle patronus glide over them. Patronuses had always been one of Blair's biggest fascinations. "Yah, its kinda hard to tell if you don't know what to look at but their builds are pretty different from wolves," Blair replied looking over at Zachs wolf. While she was definitely more of a social, jocky person, she had a pretty nerdy side she didn't show much, but it developed after growing up with a brother who obsessed over a weird muggle card game called 'magic the gathering' their cousins from America would bring over, and who spent most of his free time learning to operate muggle computers or reading about how the Ministry worked and other politics in the Wizarding World. Blair loved him, but he wasn't much like her at all, fitting in perfectly with the Ravenclaws. Blair was glad he had already graduated and was working towards a job at the ministry, she knew he would've been like a babysitter to her if he was still at Hogwarts.

She grew bored guiding her dog around and was thankful when Laurence asked Professor Jackson how to banish their patronuses, she had dozed off a couple times and sent the large wolfhound running into a couple other students. "So, did you put your name in the cup? I can't wait, I'm putting my name in tonight!" Blair turned and said to him while they waited for Professor Jackson to answer.

Zach narrowed his eyes, spotting Alyssa's lie as soon as the words had left her mouth. He could always tell but he wasn't bothered about pushing the subject, knowing it was probably sensitive to her. When the professor answered the question for her, Zach soon realised why. His eyebrows furrowed and he glanced at Alyssa. I guess it means we're just super close friends. He had only really begun to get to know Alyssa at the start of this term and to him they had a good friendly relationship. Zachary checked the time, they should be leaving for next lesson right about now. Herbology next. He gritted his teeth. He turned to Laurence to ask what period he had after this one and noticed a new girl stood by him, who he vaguely remembered from last year.
