I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_gredforge]

In class this morning there was a slight disturbance (and for once we didn't cause it). Some rats from the advanced Transfiguration project group were being kept in a cage in the back of the classroom, and in the middle of class they started squealing. Lee, who managed to get a quick look at them said that a couple of them that were turned into kernels of corn partially transfigured back and started jumping around. One of the girls screamed, and we all started trying to see what was going on, but Carrow just put a silencing spell around the area and pulled the curtain closed. He didn't care about the rats at all, and he was muttering something about how popcorn was sounding pretty good right about now.

Sometimes we wish that

The rats were transfigured into corn?

[alt_neville]

Ick.

[alt_gredforge]

Yes. Corn.

[alt_neville]

What, then they were going to feed the corn to the other rats or something?

Double ick.

[alt_lee]

I bet he would eat them, too, with butter and salt. That Carrow is one sick bloke.

[alt_neville]

What's worse is, he'd probably make Terry Boot eat them.

I'm glad Terry's with Professor McGonagall now. Um, or he will be when he gets unpetrified.

What d'you reckon they're doing turning rats into corn?

[alt_sally_anne]

I heard him say

They transfigured back from corn though?

Had the other rats

[alt_ron]

They were turning back on their own? The rats?

[alt_ron]

That's just

eurgh

[alt_sally_anne]

I thought they were transfiguring them into sand actually. I mean when I overheard them while I was getting my notes even though I was not TRYING to eavesdrop and I just wanted my notes. But now I think about it he may have been using sand as an example of something with a nice uniform size.

If they were in with the other rats as corn he must be feeding them

I don't know.

[alt_sally_anne]

He was making the rats eat the transfigured rats.

I mean a rat can't tell that the corn used to be a rat so

UGH.

[alt_neville]

It sounds like a mad thing to be doing. I mean, what, do they want to see if the corn has any, whatdoyoucallum, animal karacteristics? But why? Do they want the corn to burrow into the ground, plant itself or something?

Or it's something gone wrong. I mean, he put the silencing spell up, so maybe it was something he didn't expect.

[alt_neville]

Yeah, really.

Note to self: if Professor Carrow ever offers me anything to eat, I mean, EVER, I'll tell him nope, I'm full, thanks.

[alt_sally_anne]

Good plan.

[alt_sally_anne]

All I know is, Carrow was really REALLY angry when he thought I might have overheard what the advanced group was doing.

[alt_sally_anne]

Whatever you do don't EVER tell Carrow I told you I heard anything. I think he might k Not that you have cozy fireside chats with him but if he ever asks you say I didn't hear anything.

[alt_ron]

I'd never tell. You don't have to worry about that.

I don't think Carrow has cozy fireside chats with anyone but his sister, do you? I don't think even Professor Acton likes him at all.
