Right after breakfast, Roger acquiesced and followed Adrian to the library to get their act together on the Transfiguration paper. They'd both chosen the Animagus transformation and been reading relevent research material since September. Adrian was right, it really was time to start knocking it into shape and finalizing the outline, so that they could write a first draft. McGonagall had promised to look over and comment on outlines until the coming Friday, and rough drafts till the end of March. After that, she would only accept finished papers. She had made it clear that with proper citation, development and proof, discussion, and conclusions, these papers should be at least 30 feet of parchment and not to exceed 50 feet.
This independent research paper could not only make or break one's end of year grade, it was also the most important work that McGonagall considered when accepting students into the 7th Year Trasfiguration class, over attendance, homework, and even actual transfiguration skill. The best papers also earned House points.
Roger pulled out his extrememly complicated and detailed outline. He'd left Intro and Conclusion empty but had his History, Magical Theories, Examples, and Purpose sections outlined to paragraph level. Looking at it again after ignoring it mostly since Christmas, Roger said to Adrian, "I've got tons of details, but no point to it. Let me see yours."
