Just then the grey tabby cat leaped off the desk, and instead of its four paws landing on the ground, only two landed.. and they weren't cat paws. Instead, Professor McGonagall's feet landed softly as if she simply stood up.
She looked over the class, stopping at the back when her eyes landed on Kain. She did enjoy having him in her class, found him strangely interesting. No doubt he was one of her best students, very sharp and always getting high marks. Though sometimes his attitude did bother her. Like now, how he seemed to be taking a nap in her class.
She cleared her throat in order to inform him that class was now starting.

Kain had just started dreaming, no doubt about a girl, when he heard the distant sound of a cough...or, something. Groggily, he opened up one eye, and then the next, realizing that McGonagall was staring right at him.
Great.
He winked at the professor, and swung his legs off the table, sitting...semi upright. He was still leaning back in the chair, with his arms behind his head, as if supporting himself. He peered out the window quickly, when he realized that next period was DADA, and he wasn't looking forward to what he had overheard in Potions, with Dumbledore and Snape. Snape simply adored Kain, and knew of his secret. Maybe that was why Snape always paired Kain with someone he hated, so he couldn't get connected. With anyone.
It was rather helpful, actually. Yet, today...he hadn't. Something was on Snape's mind, that changed him from pairing Kain with Harry, his usual suspect.
Switching his attention back to McGonagall, Kain began to listen to the lesson.

Penelope didn't have to look back toward the back of the class to see who Professor McGonagall was staring at. Not very many people could get that look from the Transfiguration teacher.. nope, not many people at all. Since she knew that Professor McGonagall wasn't stairing at Harry, her, or Ron, she knew it must have been Kain.
Instead of turning around, she picked up her quill and started doodling absent-mindedly.. waiting for Professor McGonagall to start the lesson.

Satisfied that she now had everyone's attention.. well almost everyone. Draco seemed rather out of it, but she was sure he'd get help from Kain if he needed it, Professor McGonagall waved her wand and summoned a cage for every student, each cage containing a hedgehog, just like in the last class.
"As you can now see, each of you has a hedgehog in front of you. Today we will be brushing up on our last lesson that we had before break. The switching spell. For today's lesson, I want you each to transfigure your hedgehog into a pin cushion." She informed.

Kain saw the Prof. hold up a cage with a hedgehog in it, and his smirk died. He always hated hedgehogs. Something about them...slightly, frightened him. No explaination for it, really. Just...he hated them. He gently took the small animal out of the cage, and it plopped itself right down infront of him, as if smiling up at Kain. Raising his eyebrow at it, Kain petted it lightly, and saw Draco take out his own Hedgehog. Concentraiting, Kain said the spell softly, and yet, nothing happened. Figures. He doesn't practice Transfiguration at ALL during the summer, and he sucks when he gets back. Putting his wand down with a slam, he looked up, and raised his hand lazily. Maybe he was saying the wrong spell.

Alice took out her hedghog, it was kinda cute in a prickly way, it rolled across her desk Alice chuckled slightly. She petted it gently on its head and grabbed her wand. Muttering the spell the Hedgehog sort of uivered and turned into half a pincushion, well it was a prickly pillow with a nose.
Crap thought Alice she looked across to penelope panicking a little.
"Erm I think something went wrong" she said to her friend

Professor McGonagall looked around the room to see who remembered the spell and who didn't. She wasn't very pleased to see that many of the students had neglected their transfiguration studies over break.
Professor McGonagall took out her own hedgehog, and held out her wand. "Abeo comparo," She said, making sure to pronounce her words perfectly clear. Instantly her hedgehog turned into a pincushion.
"That is how you do it," She said, slightly annoyed by Ron who had some how managed to turn his hedgehog yellow.

Penelope looked at Alice's pincushion with a nose and she giggled.
"Thats not too bad," Pen said softly. "You probably just didn't say the spell clear enough. Atleast you got it mostly right."
"Abeo comparo," Pen said, giving her own wand a swish. Her hedgehog let out a little squeal before it changed.
"Eep!" Pen squealed. "Do you think I hurt the poor thing?" She asked.

Alice giggled along with her friend, she gently poked it and the pin cushion sniffed up and quivvered slightly.
"Yeah propbably" said Alice.
Alice pointed her wand at the moving half hedgehog pin cushion
"Abeo comparo," she said flicking her wand.
The half hedgehog pincushion turned completely into a normal purple cushion, happy with her work she turned to Penelopes which had just squeaked.
Penelpoe had asked if she'd hurt it.
"I don't know" said Alice curiously prodding Penelopes pin cushion "It probably just got a fright" said Alice thoughtfully

Kain saw that no one else was getting it, and smiled. Atleast he wasn't the only one. "Abeo Comparo..." He sighed, knowing his voice wasn't clear.
Failing, he grumbled. The Hedgehog simply had it's quills replaced with pins. Rolling his grey eyes, Kain tried again, this time saying it alittle clearer. "Abeo Comparo." He said, and flicked his wand gracefully. And, within the second, the small hedgehog transformed into a pin cushion.
great. Looking up at McGonagall, he smiled, showing her he was ready for something else.

"Yeah you're probably right," Pen said, eyeing her own pincushion. She preferred it as the hedgehog though, after all.. it was much more adorable that way.
She glanced at Alice's. "Awe, yours is purple now! Thats awesome." She stated. "It matches my hair," Pen added with a giggle.
She picked up Alice's pincushion and held it up to her head, "See," She questioned.
She heard Professor McGonagall clear her throat and glanced up at her. Prof. McGonagall was looking at Pen, and by the look on her face, she wasn't pleased.
"That is a pincushion Ms. Delani, not a hair accessory." Professor McGonagall stated. Pen quickly put Alice's pincushion down, and turned back to Prof. McGonagall.

Satisfied that everyone now knew how to turn their hedgehog into a pincushion, she decided to continue with the lesson.
"Now we will be switching the pincushion back into a hedgehog using the reverse spell." She set her own pincushion down on her desk where the whole class could see, and with a wave of her wand "Restituo comparo" she said. The pincushion took its original form as a hedgehog.
She was about to remind the class to speak clearly when the door openned and slammed into the wall. Annoyed, Professor McGonagall looked up to see who was disrupting her class.

Evvie Willows walked into the first classroom that she had came into, paying more attention to the piece of paper in her hand than to the students. When the door banged against the wall behind her, she looked up and saw a very stern looking woman glaring at her. She let out a giggle.
"Oopsy," said Evvie, "excuse me.. but is this Care for Magical Creatures?"
"It most certainly is not." Professor McGonagall replied, displeased by the interuption.
Evvie's face fell for a moment as she scratched her head in thought, "Darn, I was sure this was it." She replied with a sigh and began to turn around, but she was stopped by the Professor's voice once more.
"Mr. Winters will be more than happy to show you the way to your correct class." Professor McGonagall replied.
Evvie turned around, her head cocked to the side, already very curious as to who this Mr. Winters was.

Kain's eyebrow raised, as McGonagall volunteered him to walk this strange girl towards Hagrid's hut, and outdoor classroom. Brilliant. He stood up, and beckoned the girl towards him, and the door. As they got outside, Kain introduced himself. "I'm Kain." He said, and looked straight ahead, as the two made their way to the other classroom. This girl was certainly odd, and Kain could tell something was different about her right away, but then again, everything and everyone at Hogwarts had a little secret. It was what made the school interesting. Yawning, he looked down at her. "And your name is?"

Evvie smiled brightly at Kain, her eyes focusing on his hair.
"Your hair's even more wild than my own!" She declared, gesturing up at her own messy and spikey pink hair. She let out a giggle.
"Oh right," she said, as if she had forgotten that Kain had even spoken at all until just then, "I'm Evvie. Nice to meet you." She replied.
She followed Kain out of class, but as she turned to walk down the hall she nearly tripped. But instead of being embarrassed, she giggled.
"I don't see how people this big get use to walking." She said brightly, as if Kain.. or anyone else would really understand what she was talking about.
