Hermione: "Right. Right... well... one of us has to go and find Umbridge and — and send her off in the wrong direction, keep her away from her office. They could tell her — I don't know — that Peeves is up to something awful as usual."
Ron: "I'll do it. I'll tell her Peeves is smashing up the Transfiguration department or something, it's miles away from her office. Come to think of it, I could probably persuade Peeves to do it if I met him on the way."
Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley try to find a way to distract Dolores Umbridge, in order to gain entry into her office[src]

The Transfiguration department was a department of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry dedicated to the teaching of Transfiguration.[1] It was also a name for the wing of Hogwarts Castle that housed said department.[2] The Transfiguration department was presumably located around the Middle Courtyard area, including such rooms as Classroom 1B.[3]
