Group Five

His fifth class would perhaps consider themselves either lucky, or afraid once he announced the lesson. Flicking his wand at the board, he didn't look to see the words write themselves on the front, and he didn't look as the board turned itself away from the desks so the lesson's name was not shown.

Moving the desks to the front of the room, he created a slightly cramped seating area so that the back of the room was open for him to work with. With a simple 'Accio', Professor Hayes summoned poles and hoops much like something one might see in a Quidditch match, but on a smaller scale. Placing them at different heights and in different locations around the room, he created a sort of obstacle course that he would explain further once the lesson started.

Keiran made his way back to the front, where the desks were practically touching the others, and picked up small statuettes much like he had done for his fourth class. Each of the statuettes represented the animal that was associated with that student's house. Smiling, he made his way to his desk and waited for the students to arrive.

Amelia gave a big yawned as she walked into Transfiguration. This class had been one of her strongest suit since she was a kid. She hoped to eventually become an animagus like her mother had. She had to get through this year though. She barely had slept since she her mum died. She just lay there in bed. It’s ridiculous but she doesn’t know how to stop it.

She pulled out two different Transfiguration, the updated version then her mother’s. She liked her mother’s better but she could only use it as a reference. Given her mum’s notes in it she was sure she would do fine. She hadn’t done as well as she wanted to last year. But this was a new year. She was glad the stupid OWLs were over. It was the year from hell last year.

A quiet Hufflepuff made her way into the classroom, and Keiran looked up at her entrance. "Morning, Miss Macmillan." He greeted her lightly. Something about the girl looked tired, and he didn't want to push her so he gave her the space to sit at her leisure. He had heard about what had happened to her family but wanted to avoid causing her any harm, so he didn't mention it.

Professor Hayes could only hope the girl would find the class interesting, because the lesson would require quite a bit of focus. Especially if she didn't want it to go wrong. The spell could have rather curious results if done incorrectly. Keiran wasn't sure he wanted to see it go wrong, but it was definitely a more interesting spell than others he could have chosen.
