Transfiguration lessons are

[alt_padma]

certainly challenging this term--but in a really good way, I think! It's been quite interesting to see everyone go a bit further in their studies. I'm sure Professor Glozeman is pushing us in ways we'd never have been exposed to with a less skilled professor in the post.

Jones, I think yours gets props for one of the funniest effects. Or perhaps it was just funny because of its victim. Not exactly a look they prize in MLE, eh, Weasley?

I myself was impressed that no one made the exact same thing. It shows quite a range of creative thinking.

And yes, Professor Glozeman is exceptional at keeping us on our toes!

[alt_padma]

Well, it shows some creative thinking. I mean, a coin? What was Smith thinking? Hardly what I'd call embracing the challenge. Did you discover the curse without it getting you first?

[alt_daphne]

Well, I was left thinking that the curse is activated by spending the coin, so I bought a quill off Blaise. It gave me a tiny papercut - the coin, not the quill. So, that was that.

Your bracelet was quite elegant, Daphs.

I don't know if I was able to completely negate the effects of the curse you put on it, because I wasn't about to put it on to find out!

It sounds as if you enjoyed Professor Glozeman's lesson because it gave you the opportunity to see someone else look foolish - or, your idea of foolish, anyway.

[alt_padma]

What an odd thing to say! Of course not. I thought some of the ideas people had were rather elegant. Zabini's, for example.

I should think you of all people would appreciate the art of breaking curses--or coming up with them.

[alt_hydra]

Is it odd?

What did you make?

[alt_padma]

A barrette, if you're curious. I'm not certain whether Macmillan broke the curse on it or not, to be honest. I don't think he'd have any reason to have put it on, anyway.

[alt_hydra]

What does the barrette do?

[alt_padma]

I'm not going to say, if Macmillan hasn't figured it out! Who knows whether Professor Glozeman will ask people who didn't complete the assignment to come back to it next lesson?

[alt_hydra]

Whatever it does, it makes the other person look foolish, doesn't it.

[alt_padma]

Oh, for Merlin's sake. It was an assignment, Lestrange. Have a sense of humour.

[alt_hydra]

Who says I'm not amused?

[alt_padma]

Oh, are you? It's good to know you're the sort of person who takes pleasure in other people's humiliation, then.

[alt_hydra]

Only when it's deserved.

It can be quite a useful and motivating emotion.
