Minerva McGonagall

You'll never believe what I'm being allowed to do! Well, you will if you've paid even five minutes worth of attention to some of the books I've been reading lately but that's beside the point. I went to see Professor Dumbledore this morning and he's agreed to allow me to attempt the Animagus transformation under his supervision because of my marks and the 'deep insight, talent and understanding I have in the subject of Transfiguration'! I have to read an awful lot before he'll let me start and he's said we can't start until after Christmas to give me time to read all the books he's given me but I get to try it!
