"I’ve never been very good at transfiguration. I always get distracted and end up transfiguring everything into what I’m thinking about. Like last week I was hungry, and accidentally transfigured a mouse into a cupcake."

[muggleborndelilah]

"Oh! Poor mouse! You didn't eat the cupcake, did you? Transfiguration comes easily to me, but I'm downright awful at Divination. I don't have the spark, or something like that. At least, I think that's what the professor said. I can preform most Transfiguration spells we have access to here at Hogwarts."

[moiradurane]

"Indeed it is. It’s starting to get slightly cold though, don’t you think?"

[muggleborndelilah]

"Unusually cold for September, actually. But it's pleasant enough. What brings you out here?"

[wise-amelia-bones]

"Yes, and it is a nice place to get work done when the library becomes too crowded."

[muggleborndelilah]

"Exactly why I'm out here! It's a good place to collect and organize my notes. Plus, it's nicer outside than inside the castle. A bit stuffy today."

[prettylittleslytherin-blog]

"It is, isn’t it? The giant squid is out of hibernation, the ice has melted, the mermaids are angier than ever… perfect for shoving helpless first years in."

[muggleborndelilah]

"I feel as though I should be grateful I was lucky enough not to have been pushed in my first year. The mermaids are angrier than ever? Has something happened in the Lake? Or is it just their notoriously bad attitude?"

God Help the Girl, ‘God Help the Girl’

There is no way I’m looking for a boyfriend There is no way I’m looking for a scene I need to save some dough I’m a working girl, you know I fend attention off, I keep to myself

I love my room, I’m getting used to sleeping Some nights, I really like to lie awake I hear the midnight birds The message in their words The dawn will touch me in a way a boy could never touch Their promise never meant so much to me

You have been warned, I’m born to be contrary Backward in school, I wrote from right to left Teacher never cared for me Preacher said a prayer for me God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

I sit for hours just waiting for his phone call I’ll leave the chocolate hidden in the fridge I’ll play his messages Analyse his intonation Please stop me there, I’m even boring myself

I think of him when I’m doing the dishes I think of him while looking in the sink This ain’t no play on words My love for him is absurd If he gave me a sign I’d think about it for a week I’d build it up and then I’d turn him down

You have been warned, I’m born to be contrary Backward at school, I wrote from right to left Teacher never cared for me Preacher said a prayer for me God help the girl, she needs all the help she can get

“That’d be good. Although, I have to admit that I never watched many movies.”

“Oh no. Well, I guess I have to try.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"My mom and I watch movies together all summer, and during breaks, since I'm gone most of the year. She misses me, I think."

"It's easy, I promise! Lift both hands apart, about level with your head. Speak clearly and loudly at the bird. If it doesn't fly, it's wings should twitch a little."

[franklongbtm-blog]

“You’re too sweet. Nah, I’d be the one who dies first because of something really stupid, like running and tripping over a rock.”

“The same as you.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"Haha! Well, we can both agree that horror movies would not be our forte. Maybe a feel-good comedy."

"Ah, okay! Well, we were assigned to bring a bird statue to life, using Piertotum Locomotor. Just enough to make it fly for a few seconds! They don't expect students to be able to do more than that with this spell."

[ivfawley-deactivated20141124]

“I suppose, since it’s not frozen and you can push people into it.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"I've never pushed anyone into the Lake myself, but I'm guessing you're speaking from experience?"

[franklongbtm-blog]

“That would be really good. I mean, if you have time to help me, of course. Oh, Divination is easy. I get good grades by bullshitting the teacher, and she actually believes I’m talented.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"I always have time for Transfiguration. And helping people! I don't really have the mind for Divination, and I can't act to save my life. It'd be like a bad, black-and-white horror movie and I'm the terrible leading lady that dies half an hour in."

"Anyway, I got off topic. I'd be more than happy to hep with your Transfiguration work. What were you assigned?"

[muggleborndelilah]

"The lake is lovely this time of year, isn't it?"

[franklongbtm-blog]

“I have to redo mine. It’s terrible.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"I can help you, if you like? I'm actually pretty decent at Transfiguration. But I'm like a fish out of water with Divination."

[franklongbtm-blog]

“Next Thursday, I’m pretty sure.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"Oh, that's plenty of time! I'll do my Transfiguration work first."

[dorcassing-archive]

"Three days from now. I’m on one third of the required length and am pretty sure I covered everything, it’s horrible."

[muggleborndelilah]

"I had a teacher once, when I went to Muggle school, that said, 'When in doubt, bullshit your way through it.' Of course, you can always repeat yourself and rephrase it. That's what I do."

[silly-little-maisie]

"Yeah it’s my last year here too, which makes me super sad. I’m probably still going to live with my aunt for a few more years though."

[muggleborndelilah]

"It's crazy to think that our time here is almost over. I'll probably stay with my mom until I find a job in the Wizarding World. Someday, I'm going to buy her a big house on a hill."

[parrishstorm]

"Cool! What sort of thing do you like to read? Ugh, who would tear up a book? They must really hate reading…"

[muggleborndelilah]

"Ah, I'm a bit of a Transfiguration nerd. I like to read books about that. And I have this awful addiction to bad romance novels. Call me a cliche. I'm not sure, but it's a terrible thing to do. It's too bad I can't finish the book."

[silly-little-maisie]

"Yeah, I live with my aunt, and she doesn’t use quills, because she’s not a witch. When I lived with my parents I didn’t use quills either."

[muggleborndelilah]

Something told her there was a story there, but Delilah knew better than to pry, "I'm the only person with magic, the rest of my family are muggles. I live with my mother during the summers, but it's my last year here."

[parrishstorm]

"Wow, impressive. You know, that’s actually making me think I may need to develop my idea a bit more.”

[muggleborndelilah]

"Ah, thank you-- But it's really not impressive. I just like to read. I have a book on Dragon's blood right now, but someone's torn out a whole section of the book."
