It was particularly sunny this weekend in May when Kai decided to take a little stroll over to the Lawns to get some practise in. Humming a little Muggle tune, he opened up one of his spell books and considered which spelll he would practise first. He partially grew fond of Transfiguration over the year finding the subject both challenging, rewarding and very interesting.
His eyes scanned the textbook in front of him before allowing a smile to pop up on his face as an eye brow raised with it. “ This one looks interesting. “ He said as he reached over to his little backpack and pulled out a small bunch of stones. “Aviators.” He enunciated watching as from the stones formed little sweet and tiny birds that flew around him lasting only a few seconds before turning back to their original stones.
He knew that this type of magic was difficult but it seemed he wasn’t able to conjure the birds long enough to keep them flapping for no longer than 5 seconds. Practise had to be done and he continued to wave his wand about practising the wand movements and watching his wording of the spell only taking a small break to look out over to the water

Sonny was walking around the grounds at Hogwarts, taking in the sun and just generally feeling the warmth on her skin. She still felt a little nervous wandering around Hogwarts as a first year, there were times where she felt completely relaxed - but that was generally when there wasn't many people close by. Strolling through the lawns, she watched as small groups of students were socialising, playing quidditch for fun, studying or hanging out. Sonny hadn't yet made any close friends, and wished she had been brave enough to make some.
Her eyes stopped at a particular student, sitting alone. It appeared as though he was working on some spells, with a book by his side and backpack. She paused for a moment, only a few feet away from him and watched as he transfigured the stones into birds. Her curiosity grew, as did her smile. It was impressive, none the less. She couldn't do that herself. Tucking her blond hair behind her ear, she approached the boy.
"That was very good!" she complimented, hoping that she wasn't bothering him too much.

"Avifors" He called out again watching a few more birds flying about again only lasting a few seconds longer than before but still, progress was progress. He was still proud considering he knew some students found Transfiguration quite difficult in the first place but to Kai, it was extremely interesting and rewarding.
It wasn't long till his solace of silence was disrupted by another person. " Hey Sonny." He responded with a smile on his face as the last of the birds finally vanished above him. " Pretty cool right? I love Transfiguration." He replied watching as the feathers fell to the ground. " What are you up to today? "

She watched Kai transfigure some more birds, they lasted just that fraction longer, and her eyes lit up in awe as he did so. Even though she was from both magic and muggle worlds, magic still surprised her.
"You're getting very good at it, it's not an easy spell. I know I can't quite get it right..." She added with a small bashful shrug. When Kai asked what she was up to with her day, she pondered for a moment - her gaze distracted by a croaking frog hopping on past. She did a quick double take before turning her attention back to him. "I wasn't really up to anything, just wandering around and enjoying the weather. It seemed too nice to waste it." Sonny admitted. "I don't suppose you'd like some company?"
Hoping that KAI UNDERWOOD might be interested in her joining in on his practice, she hadn't yet made many friends at Hogwarts and life was feeling a little lonely.

His mind played it cool while his internal thoughts were racing. This was probably the first time he had a proper conversation with not just a Hufflepuff but a girl in general. Alarm bells were ringing in his mind which was odd as it's never happened before. Certainly not in a classroom setting either.
" You think so? " He asked hoping to control his internal thoughts from rummaging out of his mouth as he smiled softly at Sonny. " All of Transfiguration is difficult but there's just something about it I find so bloody interesting. " Perhaps it was the challenge or the fact he was somewhat good at the subject that made him wonder why he had such an interest toward it.
As the last of the feathers dropped to the ground, Kai watched closely as how long the feathers would last before finally vanishing into thin air. Fading like sugar being poured into a bucket of water. " I'd love some company. " He responded as his internal thoughts were screaming. "She's pretty." He whispered silently to himself so that only he could hear.

Sonny could feel the warmth creeping up her neck as KAI UNDERWOOD spoke, trying her best to maintain her composure. It was hard enough to focus on the spellwork when her heart was racing like this. Kai’s quiet self-assurance and genuine interest in Transfiguration made her smile; there was something endearing about his enthusiasm. She could see it in the way he watched the feathers drift down, almost as if they were casting a spell of their own.
When he asked if she wanted to try the spell, Sonny felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. She was eager to impress, but the pressure of performing well in front of him was daunting. With a soft laugh, she tried to shake off her nerves, though she couldn’t help biting her lip as she reached for her wand.
"I’ll try not to mess this up too badly," she joked, trying to keep the mood light. With one last glance at Kai, who seemed to silently encourage her, Sonny focused on the rocks at her feet. She took a deep breath, raised her wand, and incanted, "Avifors."
To her surprise and delight, the rocks began to lift into the air, but her eyes widened as they transformed into eggs, only to crack and fall to the ground. The absurdity of it all hit her at once, and she couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, her cheeks flushing with both embarrassment and amusement.
"Well then," she echoed with a grin, looking at Kai with a twinkle in her eye, "I guess I’ve got a lot of practice ahead of me!"

A simple smile was returned toward Sonny who seemed a little hesitant to attempt the spell. He began to wonder if its because Kai was somewhat considered good in transfiguration and it may of made her felt uneasy. Or perhaps, it was because Transfiguration on a stand alone was quite the difficult subject. He knew even some of the older students found it hard.
" Oh, don't worry about it. " He responded hoping to offer some reassurance. " The hardest part about learning a new spell is the first attempt. " Perhaps a career in education for the young Gryffindor could be something he could do in the future. His warm smile offered some support or so he liked to think as he watched Sonny attempt the spell.
" Well... " He said taking a step back to avoid the eggs falling on him and splattering on his freshly cleaned clothes. " Well look, at least you tried and the you didn't get any egg on you and on me which is a bonus. " He once again tried to offer words of support though he didn't know how Sonny was feeling really.

His encouraging words were comforting as she poked some of the egg shells around with the tip of her wand. "I appreciate the encouragement." Sonny chuckled, her focus on the eggs which were starting to return into smaller pebbles. It took a moment, but her eyes returned to the Gryffindor, "I don't suppose you have any tips that would help me? Or maybe, you just need to show me again how it's done?" She added.
It was nice, being able to work on something with someone else, such as transfiguration, even if it was only for practice. The team work wasn't something she had really encountered before. A lot of the students seemed to have grouped together with their friends and she was still left wandering around by herself. Not really fitting in anywhere specifically.
"So, how often do you practice your technique? Other than classes that is?" She asked casually, letting him take the next turn at the spell.

Kai smiled at her with the words that came out of her mouth. " Practise makes perfect. " He replied as his mother's voice echoed in his mind before he shrugged his shoulders. " I've found transfiguration is one of the hardest branches of magic to learn. " He added with the same continued smile on his face. " I could always show you again. " He said as he drew out his wand once more. "Avifors." He called out as a few small birds erupted from the tip of his wand lasting only for a few seconds.
" I always practise my magic whenever I can. Transfiguration in specific is one of my favourites. " He smiled once more. " If you want, we can practise more regularly? If you.. want that is? "
