Welcome to Hogwarts Beginnings

[Friar Ambrose]

The Transfiguration classroom was bright and airy. Unlike the potions classroom, the Transfiguration classroom was occupied. Friar Ambrose quietly sat on an extra-large chair tailored specifically for his large size. The chair's location was in the front of the room facing thirty or so wooden desks. Soon enough students would be filing into the classroom and assuming their desks.

Ambrose did not expect a very large crowd this morning. His Novice class was always the smallest. Usually only first years attended the class. The older grades often promoted themselves to the Apprentice class, which was usually the largest. Ambrose expected it to be that way. The Novice class was for the basics. The simple, sheer, hard facts of Transfiguration. He enjoyed this class above the Apprentice class. The children who walked through the doors into the Novice class were untampered. The older students had already been corrupted. Ambrose felt all children were to get a good start. He gave he best in providing this.

[Evee Indor]

Evee stretched her arms in the air with a yawn, the lack of sleep she got last night only slightly apparent. She had the same nightmare as she did most nights and had been startled from her sleep drenched in sweat. After that sleep would not come because she did not wish to see those images again. Each time she saw them it became that much more painful. Running a hand through her hair she dispersed the thoughts and focused on more important matters.

Evee's smile lit up her eyes as she entered the Transfiguration classroom, her first day and first real lesson of the class. No more reading countless books to try and understand the meaning, she would finally have someone their to help understand it all. She sat down in the front row like she did in most of her class with a bright smile.

"Good Morning Professor"

Soon more first years filed in through the doors, Gryffindors, Hufflepufs, Ravenclaws, and unfortunately Slytherins. She shook her head and reached for her bag on the floor taking out a notebook and a ink quill. With a smile she returned her attention to the teacher wondering what she would be taught today.

[Friar Ambrose]

Friar Ambrose turned his attention to the students as they filed in the classroom. They were so cute and reminded him of himself when he was younger. He was not given the opportunity to learn at a place like Hogwarts. These children did not know what they were being offered. They would be the best witches and wizards of their time.

"Good morning, students." The fat monk said and smiled looking at Miss Indor. The little lass had taken special time to greet him and so would he. "Miss Indor, it is nice to see you up and so perky this early." The man let out a chuckle and rose from his chair.

"Young minds, you are now about to embark upon the journey of your life time. You are about to embark upon the road of Transfiguration. The path you are about to take is not an easy one, I will admit. There will be plenty of bumps along the way, but you will all succeed. We will begin this road with a few simple questions. Transfiguration, what is it?"
