When the clock struck four, Sophie started running down the hallway. She got to the Transfiguration class in a flash. She was puzzled when she entered the classroom, and everyone was already there. According to her abacus, the class started at five! Professor McGonagall gave Sophie a severe look as Sophie reluctantly took her place in her seat.
