Writing all this up on the board, Issy wiped her hands on a cloth she had kept on the table. Chalk dust got everywhere. "Now, I don't know if any of you were aware that a carnival rolled into Diagon Alley over the summer..." she looked around them and smiled. They seemed like the sort that would have gone. "But that has influenced how I want you all to perform these spells."

The grin on her face twitched wider as she pointed her wand at her head. A quick tap and her once long brown hair shrunk and became frizzy, until it looked very much like an afro style. Another tap changed it to a bright red colour. Surely they could now see where she was going with this? "That's right. You're going to become clowns for this lesson." Evil? Probably to those who cared what they looked like. Fun? Heck yes.

"Before we get on with the spells though, I want you all to look the part. So please find a partner for this bit, because it's more fun that way, and come up and collect one of these sets of face paints." Isabelle reached inside one of the boxes on her desk and produced a pile of other boxes, each containing paints for them to use. She then walked over to the trunks and threw back the lids. "AND I have costumes for you to wear! Come and get one, get changed, then please do your partners make up. We'll move on when you've all completed that."



OOC: You don't NEED a partner for this bit, but it is fun to paint all over someone else's face If you want to do it on your own that is fine. Just have your character come and get a costume, change, and then pick up a painting kit. Sit in your pairs (if you're in one) and have fun! We'll move on later. Chatting about the task only please!
