A silent cat sat on Professor McGonagall's desk waiting for all of the children to enter the room once the bells rang. The cat watched everyone sat in their seats.
Satisfied after a few minutes that things have calmed down descently, the cat with odd markings around her eyes jumped down from the desk and with a blink of an eye transformed into Professor McGonagall.
She fixed the class with a stern stare and cleared her throat giving notice that she was about to speak and that no one else should dare attempt to talk over her.
"Good Morning students, I trust that you all had a good vacation. First we will be going over the last lessons that we covered before school let out. Anyone remember what the last lesson was?" She questioned.

Andie sat down and watched the cat she knew to be her teacher, considering talking to her. Prof. Mcgonagall was the only one in Hogwarts who really understood her. Like the professor, she too was a cat, but a werecat, not an animagus. When Prof. Mcgonagall asked if they remembered the last lesson, Andie thought hard. "Come on, think!" She shouted to herself in her head. She thought harder, still drawing a blank. "Why can't I remember?" She thought to herself.

Luna was sitting with Illyanna. She watched, mysitified, as Professor McGonagall transformed herself back into a human. She loved watching things like that.. but as soon as McGonagall began her speech, Luna lost a bit of interest and began doodling on her notebook.

Professor McGonagall smiled slightly at Andie. Andie was one of her favorite students, and of course she found Andie's being a werecat to be facinating, but she wouldn't admit to it. She then turned her attention to one of the other Ravenclaw students in her class, Luna Lovegood.
She noticed that Luna was doodling instead of paying attention. Her face took on the serious, stern look that was customary for her. She cleared her throat, but it didnt' cause even a flinch from Luna.
"Very well, to refresh your memory, I'll go back over the last lesson. Last year we focused more on "switching" spells. We will be doing more work with these kind of spells before moving on to the next. If you look on the table in front of you, You'll find a small box. In each box there is a hedgehog. We will be transfiguring the hedgehogs into pincushions." She informs.

As soon as Prof. Mcgonagall said "switching spells", Andie thought,"Oh, yeah! Switching spells! I can't believe that I forgot that!" Andie listened intently and looked at her hedgehog, slowly remembering the lesson. Prof. Mcgonagall was always her favorite teacher and transfiguration was always her favorite class. Andie supposed that it was because she was always transforming into a cat, never in public, though. She did, however, go out as a house cat, but that wasn't often. She only did it on an occasional full moon night.

Luna took out her hedgehog and petted its nose. She hummed softly to it, almost as if she were singing it a lulliby. She listened for Professor McGonagall to repeat the spell. Once she had, Luna repeated the spell and waved her wand just enough and the hedgehog transfigured into a pincushion just as Professor McGonagall had asked.
Someone else had attempted to do the same thing, but some how managed to transform their hedgehog into a pincushion with legs. The walking pin cushion began running wild.
Luna just watched the pin cushion as it ran right at the Head Girl of her house, Andie.

Illyanna sat, next to Luna, in a daze. She was often very alert, but she must not have slept well, or something, because she was extremely tired today.
"So, are you planning on going to tha ball with anyone Luna?" She asked, getting her mind on a subject of her interest.
When McGonagall spoke of a pin cushion, and a hedgehog, she just yawned. She never got Transifiguration, and her mind was on other things. She peered over to Luna, who had turned her pin cushion into a hedgehog quickly, but surely. Feeling like a bloody moron, she tried the spell as well, getting failing results. She had turned her pincushion into one with legs, and it was now heading for Andie. Looking embarrassed, she got up, to chase after it. "No, Andie, watch out!" She said, half laughing, and half-serious.

Luna smiled at her friend as she began chasing after the running pin cushion. She joined in on the chase, hoping to head it off. It didn't work though, the four legged pin cushion had jumped into Andie's robe.
Luna's mouth openned wide in surprise.

Professor McGonagall watched the show in front of her with a tight frown. She could of course fix the error of Illyanna's but then how would her students learn if she fixed their every mistake? No, she would merely watch and let them fix the problems by themselves.
So instead of interfereing, she stood by her desk, frowning in mild displeasure until the four legged pin cushion was caught.

Andie looked at her hedgehog and was about to change it when she heard Illyana said,"No, Andie, watch out!" She saw a walking pincushion come toward her and jumped into her robes. She gave a slight scream and quickly grabbed it. She held it up and asked,"Who's handiwork is this?"

Professor McGonagall had watched enough of it, and her class had now gotten more out of hand than she would have liked.
"Ms. Winters would you please get your hedgehog and try again. This time concentrate on the spell. Everyone, I want you to practice turning the hedgehog back and forth into the pincushion. Once everyone has this perfected, we'll move on to the next lesson." She informed.

Luna smiled at her friend Illyanna in hopes of comforting her after Professor McGonagall had called her out in front of class. She sat back down at the table that she and Illyanna shared and did as Professor McGonagall had requested and practiced the switching spell over and over.. also showing Illyanna where she had gone wrong.
After perfecting this spell, Luna got bored with the lesson and began to daydream while doing the spell once more. Only this time, she misspronounced one of the words and the hedgehog ended up growing 3 sizes larger than normal.

After Prof. Mcgonagall had instructed them what to do, Andie began to perfect her spell. She did it several times until she became bored. She started to drift off when she saw Luna's hedgehog multiply its size by three. She gasped and slightly gaped. "Luna! What did you do?!" she asked, very shocked. She couldn't understand why or what Luna had done. She grabbed her hedgehog and put it back in the cage so that it couldn't run free.

"Luna! What did you do?!" Andie asked Luna.
"Oh I was just thinking out loud and.. well.." Luna said as an answer. She didn't look in Andie's direction as she answered. In fact, she was totally mesmerized by the giant Hedgehog. She reached out to pet it.
"Isn't it adorable?" She asked, her voice sounding far away. She didn't seem surprised at all, as if it weren't out of the ordinary for hedgehogs to be that big.

"Well, yes, but....it's HUGE!" Andie said, eyes wide. She tried thinking of the opposite spell for engorgio, but came up blank. "Crap! What is that spell? What is that spell?" she thought. "Ah!" she thought. "Reducio," she said, her wand pointed at the hedgehog. "That ought to do it," she thought.
