Logan was adorable. Or Pao. She must remember to call him the name he wanted. Maybe change the nameplate when he wasn't looking. Anyway, Issy grinned at him when he came over before finding his seat.

Red? Ohhhh, right yes. Her dress. She chuckled slightly at his blushing and nodded her head. "Well, thank you, Mister Mancini." I think.

Isabelle popped off the desk and wandered over to the door, closing it behind the last entrant. Anyone coming in now would be late and feel her wrath. Well points loss anyway. But moving on. Walking back up the aisle to her desk, Issy turned and smiled at all the kids.

"Good morning everyone. Now, before we start on the spell for this lesson, I'd like you all to tell me how you feel you got on with the last spell? I noticed some of you did very well in making things that had some good detail on them," she said, gesturing to the wall set up at the front of the room. Quite pretty, with words and sparkles and everything.

"Doing things with more detail is tricky, especially when transfiguring clothing, which is why you don't often find people making elaborate items. Did any of you come across problems that you had to overcome?" Because if they did, maybe she could help with that. Plus this little talk first would get them into 'lesson mode' before launching into the good stuff.

I wanted you all to try and make things as complicated for yourselves as possible, because trial and error is the best way to learn with these things. The more detailed an item is, the more it stretches your spell-casting ability, and getting you to do that is partially why I'm here." And getting them to get it right, obviously. She was a teacher after all and nurturing and teaching was her job. If it was easy all the time though it would be boring.

"Now, this week, as I told you at the start of term, we'll be doing another portion of your final outfit - trousers or a skirt. Or even shorts if you wish, as this will all be finished near summer time. Do any of you have any questions about this section before I move on to the actual spell?" She was open to a bit more talking first.

Fail was such a cruel word, because Isabelle never viewed it that way. To her not getting a spell correct was just part of the learning process, not a failure. But maybe some people saw it differently. "No one is ever perfect when they start out, Miss Cambridge. if it was so easy to learn new spells there would be no need for this school, you could just do it at home." In a world where underage magic was allowed outside of school, obviously. "I merely want you all to try and do complicated things because you won't be able to go through life taking the easy option."





But anyway, on with the lesson, it's why everyone was there. "Okay, as there are no questions just yet, I shall demonstrate the spell." Isabelle moved swiftly in to the back room and came back with an armful of black bags. Yes they would be using them again. But this time, they had been split down the middle to make it easier to wrap them around the legs of the mannequin - which she proceeded to do to one of the ones at the front. Dragging it forward a little, she placed it in a central position so they could all see.

"Now, this spell is VERY similar to the last one, with just a slight change in the first word and the wand movement.... So please pay close attention." flicking out her wand, Issy took a step back and cleared her throat. Pointing it downwards, she flicked up, then down again in an upside down V shape. As she did so she said clearly and concisely "Summitto Vestis!"

The bag began to elongate and split some more, taking the shape of a pair of trousers that came down to the mannequins ankles and stopped. "There we go. I won't say it's simple to accomplish, but there is no reason why you can't all get something of note done in this lesson and your homework later. As you saw the wand movement is like an upside down V, sort of like two legs. It's the same even if you're wanting to make a skirt, by the way. And you need to put emphasis on the last part of each word - 'Summ-ITTO Vest-IS'" It was a lot simpler than it seemed though.

"If you want to go ahead and try it out please do, but if you want to ask me anything first go right ahead. Bags are here and already split down the middle for you to attach them better."
