Thanks, Ron. We're rather touched by your faith in our prowess. Pity that Professor Carrow doesn't agree.

But maybe we can undertake a little independent study on the subject this year. Who knows? We might end up helping our Professor while impressing Professor Carrow at the same time. Wouldn't that be ironic?

We'll start with nicking Percy's Transfiguration book. The prat's so busy with his Big Head Boy duties that he probably doesn't have time to study Transfiguration anyway.
