However they didn't actually get a chance to talk to him until the end of the day, between each lesson he disappeared off somewhere and since they were too spread out to really talk in the other classroom's Hermione and Harry had to wait to catch up with him. Finally came transfiguration, where Hermione honestly put thoughts of Ron to the back of her mind. This was one of her most anticipated lessons and the grumpy redhead could wait. As they arrived at the class Hermione was shocked to discover no teacher at the front of the room. Instead sat a large tabby cat, it wasn't one she had seen around before. Must be Professor McGonagall's. As the last of the students made their way to their seats Hermione couldn't help but be confused as to where the transfigurations teacher was, she hadn't striked Hermione as someone to run later. To Hermione's wonder the large tabby cat got up, walked the edge of the desk, jumped and transformed into professor McGonagall.
