Transfiguration

I know you lot are going to ask me a lot of questions, but please don't. Yes, I was sitting right next to Wayne, but I didn't really hear what he said to Professor Carrow, because I was digging in my book bag. And then suddenly, Wayne was down on the floor. He was jerking, and when I looked into his eyes--he was looking right up at me, it was . . .

He was making these choking sounds. I can still hear them.

And then Professor Carrow stopped. And he just continued with the lesson, like nothing had happened. Megan was crying. I was too scared to even cry. Wayne's nose was bleeding, but he just lay there on the floor. Nobody knew what to do. The Professor asked a question--don't even remember what it was. Nobody said anything. The Professor looked around, and he didn't even get angry that no one was trying answer. He was just smiling.

And then the bell rang, and Ernie helped Wayne up off the floor. And we all filed out. Just like every other class.

It's not like it'll happen to. You weren't even there! I don't think Wayne meant to be cheeky--he just wanted to show that he knew the answer and be a bit clever is all.

Cruciatus isn't like nobody deserves There are other ways to punish a person without having them on the floor writhing in pain. It isn't like writing lines.

Well, fine, maybe Professor Carrow could'of done something else, but the point is that it was his lesson and his desicion decision. If it weren't allowed, don't you think the Headmistress would've said? Or the prefects?

Stop whinging about it. I mean, years ago they used to string students up by their toenails. I know people who use it instead of a spanking - I know Mum says that no one needs to be Cruciated twice for the same mistake.

That's awf It doesnt matter if its

Did anyone ever do it to you Patil?

[alt_padma]

Excuse me? No, Bones, I've never done anything that bad. I'd never cheek a professor and I'm not usually ill-behaved.

[alt_susan]

Wayne didn't do anything that bad either. Thats what I'm trying to tell you.

[alt_padma]

Why are you so interested in what's been done or not done to me, anyway?

[alt_susan]

You said you know people who used it like a spanking and I wondered.

I cant imagine any one who'd ever had it happen to them or even seen it comparing it to writing lines.
