Our first class was Transfiguration which I enjoyed. Professor McGonagall was strict but she was also a good teacher. She explained the class and told us we were starting off simple, turning a match into a needle. By the end of class only Hermione and I had made any progress. Hermione was parading hers around, preening at McGonagall’s praise, but I was still down and just wanted to be left alone. Luckily Hermione understood that and only mentioned my progress to McGonagall at the end of class.
