Mina's face was no done and she really couldn't fight it now. She would have to don the costume, even though she really didn't want to. It was just a costume, but she didn't really want to look like a complete fool. Looking like a fool in front of her peers wasn't high on her list of things this year, but at least she wouldn't be the only one looking foolishly. Everyone else was going to have to wear similar costumes too.
Sighing, she cleaned up the face paints that she used and set it aside. Clean as you go and that will leave you less of a mess later. Words to live by, at least she thought so. Grabbing the costume, she threw it on, taking care not to mess up her painted face. She did try her best to not like a fool and have at least a pretty simple face painting on her.
Looking down at herself, she frowned. It just wasn't her colour at all, but it was part of the lesson and she shouldn't be questioning so much. Just do as you're asked and make it through the year, she had to keep telling herself. The costume hung on her body slightly and it was a bit too big for her, but she would just have to make it work out.
Now it was time for the first spell. It shouldn't simple enough and she did feel she was comfortable with it. It wasn't like she wouldn't be able to change her hair back. It was only temporary, right?

Narrowing her eyes at the kids, mainly for the sheer cheek of them moving on before she had instructed them to, Issy walked to the front of the classroom and pointed her wand at her throat. She didn't get mad often, but now was one of those times.
"ENOUGH! There should be no changing of colour to your hair, and especially not your eyes! I instructed you to use the Felintas spell, which adjusts the length and style ONLY. Nothing else." Her voice resonated around the room. Why did these kids not listen? It was clearly written on the board. "If none of you wish to lose points I suggest you stick to the spell I have asked you to do, and not move on until I tell you to. The next person to move forward will receive a massive points loss. Is that clear?" Annnnnd breathe.
"Carry on with the Felintas spell, please. And those of you who are still doing your face painting. MOVE ON. I expect to see you practising very soon!" Quote:

FELINTAS = LENGTH AND STYLE OF HAIR
RISTARIS = COLOUR OF HAIR/EYES
FELINTAS (Fel-in-tas) - CHANGES HAIR STYLE AND LENGTH. (ONE TAP TO THE TOP OF HEAD) - Strong concentration on the finished look
INTARIS (Int-ar-is) - COUNTER SPELL. (TWO TAPS TO THE TOP OF HEAD) - concentrate hard on what your hair was like before. Glancing down at her notes, she picked up her wand. It was time to get down to business. She had an idea what she wanted her hair to look like and she was about to give it a go, when she heard Professor Magnus raising her voice.
Taken a little slightly, she blinked and glanced around. She hadn't been really paying attention to what everyone was doing around her and did shake her head when she saw some of the underclass-men attempting to move on without even being told what they needed to do. Seriously, was she like that when she was that young?
Looking back down at her notes again, she refocused. She was behind and needed to get to changing her hair now. Setting up the mirror, she looked at herself and concentrated on something a bit shorter in length than her current hairstyle and in the fashion of a bob. That was a good start, she thought as she envisioned it in her head before reaching for her wand. Reciting the incantation silently in her head, she moved her wand toward her head. Just a simple tap was all that was needed. Having the final result clearing pictured in her head, she concentrated on it and tapped her head once. "Fel-in-tas". Slowly, her hair shortened from its long length and straightened up into what was move like a pixie cut. Shaking her head slightly to see how it felt, she moved her head around to get a better view in the mirror and smiled. It didn't look all that terrible, if she said so herself; but it wasn't right for what they needed. It was a cute look and maybe she would have to revisit it one day.
Reaching for her wand again, she envisioned her hair as it was. Concentration on the length and texture of it, she mouthed the incantation for the counter-spell. Silently she continued to recite the words in her head until she clearly could see just how her hair once was. Looking right into the mirror again, she tapped her head twice and cast the counter-spell. "Int-ar-is". With a quick blink, her hair was back to its original length and had the same bounce and curly it had just moments ago. It felt like it did before, which was always a good sign.
But now it was time to really do what she needed. It couldn't be too short or long and it had to look like something a clown might have. She wasn't about to go the route of the big and poofy. She liked curls but that was just too much for her! Thinking it through, she decided on something not all that extreme. Picturing it in her mind, she reached for her wand and tapped her head again. "Fel-in-tas". Shaking her head, she nodded in agreement. It was pretty much what she wanted. It was just short of a complete bob in style and she had small pigtails as well.

"Now we SHALL move on to the next spell - Ristaris - As was mentioned this spell can also change the colour of your eyes, but we ARE NOT doing that today. Just hair. Before I demonstrate it again, does anyone have any questions about this or the previous spell?" She stopped talking and looked among their faces. Their pretty painted faces. Some of them were very nice indeed. Noticing the lesson was moving on again, she reached for her quill and continued to write down the next part. She needed to keep up so she would get everything. Her mind didn't need to keep wandering any more than it was already.

This only changes colour, not length or style - which hopefully you have all already done." Yes, no? Scanning the room, she couldn't really tell, but most of them did have strange hairdos.
Holding her wand to the top of her head again, Issy tapped once and said the spell clearly so they could hear. "Ris-TAR-is!" Her hair changed from it's usual dark brown to a brightish blonde. Similar to the way she had changed it a couple of terms before for the Prefect's tea party. "You have to add extra emphasis on the middle portion of the word for it to work properly.
Smiling, she re-holstered her wand and leant against her desk. "I don't expect you to all turn it red like I did before. I was having fun with that - clown hair can be any colour you like. Whatever you feel fits with your make up and costume. And you CAN do it in pairs if you so wish. Getting a colour wrong is nothing that can't be fixed, unlike length and style change, which is why I wanted you to do that to yourselves."
Isabelle fiddled with her newly blonde hair, before flopping her hands into her lap. "Please begin, and if you need any help at all, just put your hand in the air and call me over." Quote:

INTARIS (Int-ar-is) - COUNTER-SPELL (tap twice on top of head) Jotting down even more notes, she read then over and over. It was time to get to the fun part. A few different colours were already running through her head. Did she want to go with just one solid colour or should she venture out and do maybe two? It was really up to her, wasn't it?
Thinking up possible ideas, she picked up her wand again. Maybe pink would be fun or a light blue. She was supposed to look like a clown and clowns had silly coloured hair. Twirling her wand slightly as she thought of which colour she would start with, she recited the incantations in her head over and over. Once she was pretty sure that she had it down, she tapped her head and cast the spell. "Ris-TAR-is".
It wasn't really the pink she had wanted or even the light blue. It was more of a lilac colour?
It didn't look all that bad though, she could live with it for now at least.
