These sessions will be open to all O.W.L and N.E.W.T level students interested in learning more about or becoming an animagi, and we will share valuable insights throughout our journey together for the group’s benefit.

Genia Adebayo sat up straighter in her seat. Though always attentive in her transfiguration lessons, her gaze and attention were particularly focused upon Professor Foxwood as he spoke. It was bold of him to make such an announcement at the beginning of the lesson to serve as a distraction for the rest of the hour, but the Slytherin overlooked this. It was as though he had been lurking in the corner as she had written the words animagus transformation, her wish for 1892, upon the scrap of paper and burned it in her candle, a quiet resolution just for her.

As graduates of Uagadou, most of her household—bar Callista, who, like Genia, had attended Hogwarts—had attained their own animagus transformations before graduating. It was a target Genia herself was determined to strike dead-center, in spite of the vast differences between their education and her own.

But did she have the nerve to do so publicly, where others might bear witness to her potential failures?

Distracted as she was by this inner musing, Genia did not correct the Ravenclaw's response.
