Transfigurations

Was anybody in the other classes able to change a match into a needle? Or are Slytherins just bad at magic?

Today classes were all right I guess. That Lockhart fellow is pretty cool, if he did all the things he says he did, which Teddy Nott said he didn't. I don't know. He wouldn't be our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher if he wasn't good at what he does, though. I'm looking forward to getting to dig around in Herbology next time, so that's good.

Mr Malfoy sent me jelly beans which was such a surprise! Thank you, Mr Malfoy (you read this, don't you?)

It's alot of fun. I'll keep trying in Transfiguration. We haven't had many classes yet though, so I don't know what I'll like yet. I always fancied that Charms would be good. I'll find out tomorrow!

The key to Transfiguration, and Professor McGonagall might say this, is to not try so hard. You know the match has the potential to become a needle, all you need to do is tap into that potential. Look at the match, and see a needle. The magic will follow.

You would be good at Charms. I have a hunch.

Have you had your broomstick lessons, yet?

That sounds like what Mr Malfoy was telling me to do. I'll try it, for sure.

No, we haven't - I don't think it's going to be till next week. It stinks that the first years can't have their own brooms though. We have to use the old beat up school ones.

Mr Malfoy is many things, and among them he was always very good at Transfiguration.

You'll enjoy flying. It's in your blood.
