After dinner, while Bella is squirreled away in her and Tony's room reading her History textbook as though it's a fantasy novel (for the two bear significant resemblance)...
Artemis Burberry is in her room, on Patricia Hall, lamenting to her great horned owl about the lack of relatively private fireplaces for Floo calls here, and wondering where her roommate is.
(Who names their daughter "Sherlock", anyway?)

"No one should want to set mice on fire," Tony says firmly.

"Actually, transfiguring live animals sounds like a weird thing to be doing even if they don't catch fire," muses Bella.

"Well, they might not like it, and we're only starting out and we could make mistakes."

Bella writes this down and eats her lunch. She's still eating vegetarian just to be safe since she hasn't turned up anything definitive about animal intelligence yet.

"Hi, Sherlock," Bella murmurs, but there's no time for anything beyond that before they start learning to make teacups (or, in some cases, as there are not enough teacups to go around, shoes, or, in Feral's case, as he needs disposable materials, a piece of cardboard) dance.

Bella is seriously concerned about him at this point. She decides she'll prod gently next time she sees him out of class. She'll have to catch him in their room eventually.
The teacher has no such constraints about addressing students in class. "Miss Sherlock," she says, compromising between formal address and the presence of twins in the class. "Are you planning to provide your teacup any motive force, or are you hoping to glare it into dancing?"

"Miss Sherlock! Wake up!" says the Charms teacher, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"I asked you if you were planning to attempt today's lesson. You have been staring at your teacup and have not even produced your wand. Miss Swan has already convinced her own teacup to go back and forth across her desk and spin."
Bella winces; she didn't really want to be the point of comparison, but she has in fact gotten her cup to do those things.

After a few seconds of carefully considering his reponse, he decides on: "Sorry."

"I do not want your apologies, Miss Stark, I want your attention and effort. Wand out. The incantation is saltare. Try it now."

The teacher snaps her fingers in front of his face again. "Miss Stark. Are you quite well? Do you need to go to the healer's office?"
