Library [10/04]

Coffee? Check.

Laptop? Check.

With the essentials in hand, Bridge opens the library.

"I think I've managed to corral my Homecoming induced panic into constructive energy that I'm applying towards my classes," Willow said. "I realize this may only last until the day of the dance, but at least it's a stop-gap."

"It's best to use the energy while you can. I barely even realized there was a dance," Hermione admits, frowning. "I may have been a little study-involved."

The word she should have used is obsessed, but Hermione's not admitting that.

Willow wouldn't have called it obsessed anyway. "Normal commitment and dedication to schoolwork" maybe, but not obsessed.

"Think we can channel some of this energy into doing a spell?" Willow asked. "It'd be a favor for Bel, if that helps."

"Of course," Hermione says. "What needs to be done?"

"He wants a pumpkin turned into a carriage," Willow said. "In time for the dance on Friday. I'm sure I can do the energy and researchy parts of the spell, but I haven't had much luck with transfiguration so far."

It's a little advanced, but at the same time, it's Hermione. "I can definitely help there," she smiles.

"Yay!" Willow got out a notebook and turned to a fresh page. "Okay, do we need to start with book-hitting or do you have spells we can adapt?"

"I actually have my Transfiguration book in my room. I've read it cover to cover three times," she says, not mentioning how long she's had the book. Because the answer is something like a month. "It's really a matter of practice, I think. Graduating to increasingly larger things."

"Think we could get enough practice in by Friday?" Willow asked. She also wrote that down, because note-taking was a thing she liked to do.

"Definitely," Hermione nods.

She takes out her wand, points it at her pencil, and transfigures it into a small pumpkin, just because it's already on her mind. She considers this, and says, "I'm going to have to keep sizes proportionate, I think, just due to the size difference between a pumpkin and carriage," she muses. "So this about right."

Willow's eyes were wide as she watched. "Neat! So conservation of mass is still an issue?"

"It can be," she says. "It gets easier the more you learn. People can be transfigured into very small animals, for instance, but I haven't learned how to do that yet. Going from a small thing to a large thing is something I'd rather be accurate with, you know?"

"Makes sense," Willow said. "Especially since it's adding instead of compacting." She wrote down more notes. "Is there a time limit?"

"For when this can be perfected? I pick things up quickly enough, should be ready by Friday." In fact, Hermione's made it her new personal mission.

"I meant for how long it lasts," Willow said. "And mind if I take a look at your transfiguration book?"

"Sure," Hermione agrees. "In most cases it lasts until you change whatever it is back. I once saw human-sized chess pieces transfigured to move, and they must have been that way for at least a year. Though the person who did it is much more advanced than I am."

"How cool!" Willow said. She was in no way trying to figure out how to do that spell. Except for the part where she was.
