Jaimi wandered into the gardens and walked between the flower beds for a while smelling the flowers and stroking their petals between her fingers. She found herself calmed by the intricate beauty and the wafting smells. She noticed that her sense of smell had grown keener during the last few weeks, and smiled to herself. She must be doing something right in her attempts to become an Animagus.
She found herself in a secluded area where a bench was partly obscured by a few trees. She took a good look around to make sure that there was no one else there to see her and sat down on the bench. Closing her eyes she relaxed and began to hum quietly to herself, a concentration technique McGonagal had taught her a few weeks ago. As she hummed she imagined seeing the world through the panther's eyes, the feeling of fur, spreading over her limbs, the enhanced sense of smell and hearing. A tail swishing behind her. That was new.
She opened her eyes and looked behind her. There it was a black tail swishing back and forth behind her. She could feel the muscles in it working, and thought about it stopping. It did, grinning she stood up and hummed some more. Feeling and seeing claws replace her fingernails, and her teeth become more sharp and pointed. A carnivore's teeth. She heard a noise from across the gardens and took a few calming breaths, she felt the tail slide it's way into nothingness and her teeth shrink and dull to a human sharpness, saw the claws retract into fingernails as he sight returned to normal.
She sat back down on the bench and hummed, to herself looking at the movement of the tree branches and the flowers in the wind until someone came around the corner of the path ahead of her.
