Y/N's first lesson in Hogwarts was Transfiguration, the altering of the forms of different things, such as turning a match into a needle. This was exactly what Y/N's first lesson was, but two people were missing from the lesson. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
Y/N had left them in the Great Hall whilst they continuously ate breakfast which consisted of lots of sausages, bacon and beans. Y/N left early so that he could navigate the halls of the great castle, and figure out where his class was and the location of the Owlery.
Y/N had sent Apollo to the Owlery at the end of the last night so that he could get some rest. This morning, he had woken up and written his first letter back to the Orphanage, letting everyone know that he was safe and was happy with the friends he had made. He made sure to add an extra paragraph specifically addressed to Lauren as he knew that she would appreciate it.
It seemed however, that both Harry and Ron had yet to find the class. Either that, or they were still in the Great Hall, completely unaware of the time.
The first year Gryffindor's had found out early in the lesson that Professor McGonagall was an Animagus. Someone who could turn into an animal, it turned out in fact, that the process of becoming an Animagus was not pleasant and took a very long time. Professor McGonagall was currently sat in her cat form on her desk whilst the students attempted to turn their matches into needles.
It took quite a while for the majority of the class for their matches to even change in the slightest. Hermione Granger was the first person to successfully transfigure her match into a needle. Y/N looked on enviously, the most he had managed so far was changing the matches' color to a dark blue.
It was at this point in the lesson however, when the door burst open, and in come running Ron and Harry, who seemed mightily pleased at the fact that they couldn't see Professor McGonagall.
"Whew! We made it. Could you imagine the look on McGonagall's face if we were late?" came Ron's voice to Harry, clearly not attempting to hide his happiness. Y/N put his hands to his face in embarrassment. Surely his two friends must have seen the very out of place cat that was sat on the front desk?
It was at this moment when Professor McGonagall revealed herself. She leapt gracefully off the desk and in mid air, transformed back into her human form. Y/N watched, amazed at the sheer difficultly of even learning how to become one.
McGonagall stood, looking impatiently at the two late boys, Ron tried desperately to diffuse the very obvious tension, "that was bloody brilliant!" he said enthusiastically.
"Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Perhaps if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocket watch, that way one of you might be on time." Y/N snorted and tried to contain his laughter. Hermione Granger gave him a sour look.
"We got lost." Said Harry
"Then perhaps a map? I'm sure you don't need one to find your seats?"
Eventually, Ron and Harry sat down onto their chairs behind a desk, whilst Y/N turned his attention to his match. He concentrated hard on what he wanted the match to transfigure into, repeating the spell in his head continuously until he spoke it out loud, "Acusignis!" The moment the word left his lips, he felt an small electrical shock pass through his arm and he dropped his wand in surprise. The wand clattered to the floor, and he awkwardly bent down off his chair to pick it up. But when he sat back upright, the match had turned into a needle.
Y/N beamed to himself, but was confused by the shock that he had received when he uttered the spell. Professor McGonagall was stood at her desk once again, and had witnessed the entire event. She looked Y/N in the eyes and gave him a curt nod, before quickly averting her eyes and began addressing the entire class, "Five house points to the students who have achieved the task today, anyone who has yet to accomplish it, practice it as part of your homework. Dismissed!"
