Jenny has nightmares all night. Everything from she vanished all of her clothing by accident to she can't do anything except change form and everyone laughs at the stupid Muggle, and every other version of mucking up her first class that her sleepy brain can manufacture. She wakes up looking like she's been run over by a very sleep-deprived train, and her hair is curling in panicked ringlets of pure white.

But now she has Potions class to go to. She should probably get up and do that. Not going to class counts as mucking up, so she makes herself get up and get dressed. Can't muck up. If you do, you can't be a witch.

That thought turns the rest of her hair white.

"Too laaaaaaaaate," Jenny cackles. "Yes! Magic is the best again!"

[chanuphis]

"Is it only magical creatures that are part horse that you like so much?"

[metamorphmaga]

"I mean, fairies would have been neat, except for the part where they are apparently sorta dumb and pretty much just insects?"

[chanuphis]

"They're still pretty."

[metamorphmaga]

"I gueeeeeess that is okay then! ...I wonder if I can grow fairy wings?"

[chanuphis]

"I'm going to bet not, but you could try? Not in the middle of class, now, you could rip your uniform."

[metamorphmaga]

"I sorta bet not too! But that's okay. It's just to look pretty anyway. They wouldn't work. I mean, my unicorn horn doesn't do anything either. Except sparkle, obviously."

The sparkling is important.

[chanuphis]

"How do you know they wouldn't work? Couldn't they be big if you could make them at all? And flap, and stuff?"

[metamorphmaga]

"Well, nothing I've made is magic? I mean, other than happening. And being maybe the wrong color. And no way would normal fairy wings lift me without magic, so. Just a guess, but- no magic, no flying, I bet."

[pleating]

"Maybe bird wings would work."

[parental_guidance]

"Huh. Can you make bird bones too? Do you only do visible things?"

[metamorphmaga]

"I don't know but now I want to try all of it. How dare school steal my precious wing growing time with class!"

[chanuphis]

"Aren't you happy with your potion?"

[metamorphmaga]

"If I successfully grow wings, I will perfume them purple," Jenny decides. "Best of both!"

[pleating]

"I'm not sure if this is supposed to go on people. Professor?"

The professor says that while it will not do serious harm to a person it is not intended for topical use.

[metamorphmaga]

"Noooo, my dreams are crushed! I guess I have to make more potions now."

[parental_guidance]

"Except that Potions is over," Emma points out with a grin. "And now we both have Ch-"

Schedule.

"Nooo, no, we don't." Sigh. "I thought we had Charms together. Ours is today but not next. You probably have it with Gryffindor or Slytherin. Sorry, I'm dumb, don't mind me. Um, I guess we'll see you tomorrow at flying?"

[chanuphis]

"Okay, see you then," says Miranda, and off she goes with Karen and the other Ravenclaws to Charms.
