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?"

She put her wand first to one plate and then the other, speaking the incantation "Pedestis" as she did so. The plates rolled up on themselves and began to shift and change outward to make objects much more suited to feet than mere plates. When they were finished, the galoshes weren't as tall as she would have liked, nor as thick, but they were black and rubber and just about the right size for her feet.
"You certainly won't fall because of those shoes," Vivi finally turned to Kurumi and eyed the flip-flips. They weren't nearly as dressy as what Kurumi had made, but the girl was obviously very concerned about falling. "You won't fall. Be brave about your shoe selection... at least for the chance to practice complicated magic." Ravenclaw has spoken.
With a raised eyebrow, Milton glanced over at Kurumi as she not so sneakily scooted away from him.
"I don't bite, you know." Did he LOOK that vicious?
"Just ask Vivi," he said ever so casually, shooting a sneaky wink at the blonde. Heh.
Turning back to his not-so-shoe-like-shoes, Milton got back to work.
"Reverto," he muttered and watched them turn back into paper plates. Okay. Deep breath. And concentration. Milton thought harder and more specifically about what he wanted them to look like. He needed some new running shoes, anyway. His were getting kind of old. Finally, he tapped the paper plates.
"Pedestis." Slowly, but surely, the plates began to transfigure back into the shoe shape, turned black, added some shine until they finally looked like
this. Milton grinned.
"Not bad."
