Charlie, with a little more awareness in the class, actually listened to what the prof and the guys said. It clicked in her head and she was nodding in understanding, with a side of "Ooh" and "Really?" once in a while.
She was feeling really smart until professor Rayor unleashed her patronus dog. Charlie knew that the dog wasn't going to bite her or anything, but she still felt like there was eminent danger ahead. Whimpering a little, she tried to stay in the center of the room and of the crowd to avoid even a look from the silver canine. But as it faded away, she gulped in relief.
"Ex-pek-toh pa-troh-num, ex-pek-toh pa-troh-num," Charlie whispered under her breath a few times until she got started.

Drew grinned as he recognized the dog but didn't say anything. While he was embarassed over the fact that he had patted a professor, he was pretty sure she wasn't to thrilled with the idea of being patted.
"I heard your Patronus can change form," Drew said. "Does that mean your Animagus changes too or does that just stay the same?"

Nic stopped listening. He was trying to think of a happy thought. He didn't think he had one. Nic suddenly dropped to the ground sitting there, thinking. Happy thought, happy thought, happy thought Nic was sure he didn't have a single happy thought.

"That would be more of a transfiguration question, but very well. To be an anamagi takes a great will and concentration of the mind. It is not simply trying to transform one thing into another, but it is actually becoming something else. You do not just take the form of an animal, but become that animal. You have to be willing to sacrifice a part of yourself to that animal, but at the same time, not let your control diminish completely to the animal, or you will be lost. For this reason, no, anamagi usually do not change form once they have controlled the ability. While your patronus may change an animagi form usually will not change with it."
Waving her hand as if to keep herself from straying for her own subject, the Professor continued. "Patronus' are significant to your emotions and wants, to whatever is positive to you. It can change from influence from such.
"Well now, if there are now more questions, best get started. It might very well take some of you the whole class to get a simple silvery wisp."

Drew was more interested in the Animagus information than he was in Patronus information and wondered if he could prolong the topic.
"So if you're sacrificing part of yourself to the animal, is that part lost forever? Can you get it back? Or is it just that a part of you is that animal now?" he asked.

Cameron looked a bit blank. She pulled out a piece of parchment, and copied down notes. Cam might need them, after a while. Who knows. Think a happy thought, Cam. Um...Me going to the states to see my friends? Is that happy enough?Cam thought. She thought for a few more moments.
