Entrance -- 7:30am *Remember to State Time Entrance*
Entering the classroom with his hands finally empty, Tobias had spent the previous hour eating breakfast and carrying the materials for the freshman's first lesson with him. The lesson wasn't going to be entirely difficult, but then again, it wasn't always as easy as it seemed when you were trying to change a pin cushion into a live animal. Placing the pin cushions on the first row of desks, Tobias was ready for the two students -- perhaps they'd come to enjoy the class just as much as sophomores had the previous year. It was hard work, but it would pay off once they learned that Tobias was neither strict or loose, he just wanted the students to be prepared for the most unexpected. Staring at the perch on his desk, Tobias smiled and then transformed into his Animagus form, which was a Gryfalcon. It was there that he began to wait for the Merlin and Cliodne student.

Roberta was lost again, this seemed to be a growing trend with her over the last couple of days as she slowly learning to navigate the halls. The only place she really knew well was the Dean’s Office but only because it was her grandmothers domain. As she appeared upon the second floor momentarily stunned as if she was surprised she had even made it to the second floor but with a determined smirk and a huff she began to look for her Transfiguration classroom. With some gumption she entered a classroom to see no Professor but a Gryfalcon as she had seen them in the textbooks she had read over and over. Unsure if she was in the right place she settled into a seat waiting for the lone Cliodne who was always the other student in her class who she had become very familiar with her. As time ticked by she noticed it surely had to be nearing 2:50.

Kittie shuffled into class moments after Roberta. Happily, the teacher wasn't here yet. She took the desk next to her classmate and fidgeted with the pincushion in front of her while she waited for their instructor to turn up.
((sorry for the horrible RP, sorry for the delay))

FRESHMAN FIRST CLASS LESSON:Transfiguration: Pin Cushions to Hedgehogs [/color] [/u] [li] Introductions[/li][li] Recalling Proper Use of Wand[/s] [/li][li] Responsibilities/Consequences of Transfiguration Class[/s] [/li][li] Hands-On: Transfiguring the Cushion to a Hedgehog[/color] [/li][/ul] [/quote] Watching as the two female freshman enter the room, Tobias kept a steady eye on both, his falcon eyes blinking. Too bad falcons didn't smile, Tobias thought suddenly but dismissed it as he ruffled his feathers. Letting out a low caw, Tobias soon clicked his beak and flew off the perch and began his transformation back into his normal state. Smiling, Tobias' feet landed in front of the desks and then chuckled slightly. Soon enough, the bell in belfry toiled eight o'clock and thus began their lesson. "Good morning, girls... I'm Professor McPherson and I personally extend a welcome to your first year here at the Institute. This is the Transfiguration Class that you were required to enlist in and I will be the professor who will see you through these good and trying times." Staring back to the board, Tobias pulled out his wand and called a spell that struck out the first objective and then highlighted the second. Turning back around, Tobias nodded his head. "Well...best to get started. You are required to have all of your materials present with you at all times... With that in mind, let's review over a proper use of a wand for a brief moment. I don't really know where you first learned to use it, but I do ask of the following: One, there is no tolerance for acting foolish with your wands and that also includes attacking/misusing the wand on another student. Two, keep your wand on the table to where you and I will be able to see them so that the first point doesn't occur. Three, foolishness in the sense that acting silly and such will result in possibly having a chat with the Dean, but you will be required to answer to me first. Fourth and last bit of advice: No tampering with anything in the classroom. Now, before we begin the experiment, I would like to ask you to personally tell me why you have in mind for this class and possibly... A few suggestions of what you might like to do."
