Kurumi continued to mutter the incantation to herself a few times, idly tapping her paper plates every now and then to try and find some sort of rhythm. That tended to be her problem with transfiguration. Her spells were not smooth and the initial attempts were spotty and too rigid. After a few more tries, Kurumi felt as though she were ready to give the spell a proper go.
Until Milton spoke again.

At least he didn't mention anything about shoes, but he did get a slight eyebrow raise for his attempt at giving her a nickname or something. Still, Kurumi did move her desk just a liiiiiiiiiiiittle to the right, away from Milton and closer to Vivi and realized that she was in a Ravenclaw sandwich.

She did glance out of the corner of her eye at his attempt, straightening up her posture a bit before rolling up her sleeves and giving it a go herself. Something simple. Sandals. Nothing fancy. Just plain white sandals.

Tapping her plates, Kurumi said the incantation and then waited to see if she had somehow managed to melt things again this time. Only that didn't happen! The plates shrunk and morphed until they both turned into very VERY simple white sandals. Small smile on her face, Kurumi turned towards Vivi. "I think I might be willing to face that runway if I wore something like these," she laughed at her pretend fashionista friend. "Oh, sure. Anytime really. After class maybe?"
