A Cat on the Desk

[Minerva McGonagall]

When students entered Professor McGonagall's classroom to sign up for Transfiguration class, she was nowhere to be found. Instead, a cat sat atop her desk, swishing its tail silently.

In front of the cat, there was a note that read:

Please sign below if you wish to take Transfiguration

It was signed:

Minerva McGonagall,
Professor of Transfiguration

Well that was simple enough. The first student prepared to sign, but had forgotten to bring a quill. Beside the cat, a jar full of quills appeared, and a pot of ink as well.

"I must not have noticed that earlier," thought the student, taking a quill from the jar.

[Daphne Marin]

She walked into the room and could hear others chattering. She walked up to the sign up sheet and smiled to the cat. She leaned down to it and whispered.

"Good day professor. It is good to see you again."

She takes one of the quills and signs her name to the sheet. She leans back to the cat.

"Have a good day!"

[Emma Wood]

Emma Wood followed the other students into the classroom, and waited patiently whilst they all signed their names on the parchment sitting in front of the proffessor.

Once they had all finished she signed her own name and left to sign up for the other classes.

[Izzy Wood]

[Kessa Cirtos]

Kessa watched the cat, recognizing the marks around ehr eyes to be glasses. She had learned about animagi during another year from the Professor who was the cat. Nodding with a smile, she approached the desk after a few students had signed their own names and scribbled her own. If Professor McGonagall hadnt' recognized her handwriting, then she may've never known it said "Kessa Cirtos - Gryffindor". Puttin gup her quill in her pocket, she gave another nod and moved on. What other classes did she have left to visit?

[Rikku Xainne]

[glow=white,2,300]She rushes in and signs up for the class[/glow]

[glow=hotpink,2,300]I can't wait for your class Ma'am.[/glow]

[Minerva McGonagall]

Once a Good portion of the students had sighned up and taken there seats the cat on the desk transformed into none other then Minerva McGonagall. Many Students Gasp, especially the first years.

The Professor picks up the list and takes a good glace over the names scribbled on the parchment before setting it down and smiling at the awaiting students.

"Good Day Students, I am as some of you know, Miss Mcgonagall, Head of Gryffindor house and the House Quidditch Team"

She Pauses to let the students take in that information

"You have all sighned up for my Transfiguration class, and I am pleased to have you all....Alas there are some things you must know, One of which is you will not be learning to transform into a cat as I have just done - Once you become a Third year, compleated at least one semester of Transfiguration and 10 Transfiguration assighments you will be eligible for my Advanced Animagus Class"

Takes her seat at the desk, and folds her hands neatly ontop of the registration sheet.

"Don't expect this class to be easy, but don't expect it to be very difficult either, I expect a minimum of 5 assighments to be completed this semester, and Good behavior is mandatory. I will not hesitate to expell any student from my class if you violate any of the handbook rules, or harass other students"

The students sit quietly and expectantly, some first years look wary of there new teacher.

"There will be an Outside Transfiguration Class Link which I will post on Monday seeing as that is the first day of class- Expect a supply list and your first homework assighnment on monday students. I look forward to teaching all of you"

The Professor Smiles sweetly at all the students.

"Dont forget your first day of class is on monday and I expect you to attend, You are all Dismissed"

[Dextrius Lycan]

Sorry for my late registration Professor, but can I still join, Transfiguration is my favorite subject, I wish to become an animagus. I am from Gryffindor House.

[silence]

Pardon me, Ma'am. I'd like to register, is there room for me?

[Minerva McGonagall]

The Professor Smiles at the new students who just walked in.

"Of course dears, there is plenty of room for new students - that is until monday when registration is closed....Dextrius, Im a pleased to hear you are interested in becoming a animagus, but in order to take my Advanced Class you must complete at least one semester of my Transfiguration class, complete 10 transfiguration assighnments and be a 3rd year. Keep that goal in mind and you'll get there"

She hand's Dextrius a informational sheet on Advanced Animagus Class Information.

"Seraphina, I allways have room for students interested in my class just remember to check back by Monday for the off campus class link"

McGonagall smiles at the students leaving her classroom and awaits more to enter and register.

[Aiden Clay]

Walks in with his head held high. Approaches the front desk confidently, muttering quietly to himself, "I can do this...I managed this class the last few years..." he wipes his brow hastily and sighs as he picks up the quill, his hand trembling...he signs his name very sloppily, and backs away, staring at what he's done..."Oh no...ohhhh no..." and backs out of the room clumsily..

[Laurie Lyra Lunette]

Walking into the classroom, realizing she is late, she blushes. "Sorry I'm late Professor. Professor Lupin wanted to talk to me." Taking her nod as a sign of acceptance of her excuse, she signed her name to the paper saying, "I can't wait for the first lesson!"

-Laurie Lyra Lunette-

[Callia Ashburton]

Good Day Professor. I would love to sign up for your class. I hope i'm not too late.

[persephone]

A small looking girl with bright red hair walked into the room and approched the Professor's desk. Sorry I'm late Professor. Then she quickly signed her name, Persephone Lewis, Ravenclaw, and turned quickly to take a seet at the front of the class.

[Callia Ashburton]

Professor, I forgot to include that I'm from Gryffindor. Callia Ashburton from Gryffindor. Thank you ma'am. I look forward to your class.
