Sebastian found himself listening intently for once in his life as she spoke, there seemed to be a new spark in her attitude, one that was not terribly cold and distant. She was more then just good at Transfiguration, no no this was one her passions in life, the thing that she has chosen to master. He knew this because DADA was the exact same thing in his eyes, the want the need to uncover every last secret, the dedication to become the best in it, the will to change it to harness it, to make it your own and show everyone around you what your truly capable of. Sebastian raised his hand and flicked his wand into his hand, with a rather quick flash of his wrist, he pointed the tip at his open palm of his other hand. Out of thin air a bright blue flame appeared in his outstretched hand and lightly floated in the grasp of his hand, holding his hand out he let Lystra see the flame before he flicked his wrist again and a glass jar suddenly formed around it. Setting it down on the seat beside Lystra he smiled again.
"Those that can can fully master the principles of Transfiguration, are the ones who are opening a door to a realm of many many different possibilities. Some of the most influential Witches and Wizards were experts in the field of Transfiguration, some even more so were legends. To master such a complicated field is to create new worlds, better worlds, more... beautiful worlds."
Sebastian became silent realizing he had just outwardly expressed his belief in Transfiguration. While it was not his forte in life, he had still practiced it immensely given that Transfiguration was a requirement in becoming an Auror. It subtly occurred to him that perhaps he should dumb down in the future on what he knows on the subject... but she had offered to possibly train with him and that was exactly what he wanted, so he had to show her at least in small ways that he was capable of doing it. But he had to digress for it would not be long now before the train would arrive at Hogwarts and he was not going to enter that school dressed at a blueberry muffin, appearances were now over and he was allowed to get properly dressed. Standing up he smiled at Lystra again and spoke:
"I must go prepare myself for the impending arrival, I have been given a set of school Robes, I am in Ravenclaw if I remember correctly so I better go get them. I would be glad to train with you if we meet up again, always enjoy someone else with a passion for Transfiguration. An please keep that blue flame as a present for letting me sit with you, it will never go out, it is tied to me so as long as I am here that flame will be too."
Sebastian opened the door to the compartment and nodded with a wave of his hand and stepped into the hallway closing the door behind him. Walking away little ways he slumped against the wall sighing in relief that he was actually able to make conversation with Lystra. Perhaps it was enough to get past the hardest part, he certainly hoped it was, slipping his wand back up his sleeve it clicked into place as he really did need to switch into his robes.
When the train had gently rocked to a stop almost immediately the doors popped open as students start filling out into the halls of the train, Sebastian however was already out the door. He had to make sure the platform was secured, it was after all the portion of Hogwarts that was not as charmed at the school itself. Looking off in the distance he saw he ground keeper ambling down the walkway yelling:
First years with me! All first years please with me!"
Sebastian trained his gaze around the grounds but he noticed nothing out of the ordinary at this point and concluded that it was safe for now, but he would keep and eye out just in case. As the students started filing off the train, Sebastian took position over by the carriages that would be transporting the final year students getting a good vantage point. For the briefest of seconds he looked over and saw the dead like appearance of the Thestrals that pulled the carriages. Reaching over he gently patted the animal on its head with a small genuine smile, the creature bowed its head as he scratched behind its ears, he really did love animals.
