Well, that had bitten the dust.
"Yes. Yes, of course. There's some down the end there, help yourself, Alexa," Issy smiled.
"You're going to get to keep the whole outfit, Miss Lecium, not just the shoes," Isabelle replied to the Prefect.
Clapping her hands to get their attention, Issy climbed back onto the runway so they could all see her. Taking her own shoes off she placed a couple of plates on the floor and stood on them, before looking up to make sure all eyes were on her. "Now, this spell creates the shoes, or boots, from the sole up. Which means, if you want them to fit your feet perfectly, you can stand on the plates and do the spell so that they encase your feet and stand more chance of being the right size. Like so..."
Isabelle repeated the incantation, tapping the plates as she'd shown them before. Just like the first time the plates started to change colour and shape, growing around her feet into a pair of shoes similar to the ones she had taken off moments before. Once finished, she looked up and grinned. "Those of you that remember when we made the photo frames a little while ago, well the principal is very much the same as that." A few of them would know what she meant. "So if you feel confident enough, why not give it a go?"
Down the end there?
Lex looked passed the the Professor to where she might have been referring to as
down there. Surely she didn't mean where those vicious, man-eating mannequins were. Noooo, she couldn't possibly have been sending her down there just to get some plates. This was the part where she gave the Professor the benefit of the doubt. The woman wasn't evil afterall.
Luckily she saw two idle ones sitting closer to the front of the walk way. Did she care whether they belonged to anyone or not? Nope. Better they face those creatures than her.
"Thanks Professor." Now she could get back to work.
SPOILER!!: Eliza

"Ow!" she muttered. She looked around to see who had bumped into her. It was the little lion first year that she'd seen around. Alexa? She steadied herself and brushed bits of torn paper plate off of her robes.
"Oh, that's okay." She looked at her own plates. "Nah, they're okay. I was just trying to give it another go. My first ones were tragic!" She laughed.
"What are yours going to be?" she asked once the girl had gotten new plates to work with.
Eliza turned back to her own and thought about the boots she wanted again. Shin high...brown leather...laces...structured...thick sole, good for walking... She placed one foot on each plate like the professor had shown. "Pedestis!" she cast again at each plate, tapping them.
The leather started reaching up her ankles, going higher as the laces sprouted and criss-crossed up. She must have had her feet too close together when she said the incantation because the leather started to meld together into one weird boot. She wobbled on her one leg, flailing to keep her balance. She started giggling. Oh, someone just has to see this before I change these back!
She looked back over to Alexa, "Hey Alexa, look!" She hoped the Gryffindor would think the boot was as funny as she did.
Good. So she
hadn't ruined the girl's hard work...or...er...not hard work if she said it was tragic. She gave a little chuckle inspite of herself.
"It can't be any more tragic than mine--they blew up." GRIN. Sure it wasn't a good thing that her work had gone up in flames but now that she thought about it it was pretty neat. It just meant she could blow stuff up and that idea appealed to her more than anyone would ever know. Seeing things go boom was like epic in her book. Yup.
"Mine are gonna be a pair of blue converse if I can. Anything else would be too annoying to run through Diagon Alley with." And walking through Diagon Alley wasn't an option either. Not even a consideration.
When the girl got back to work she figured she'd do the same--but not before giggling a little at the Professor. The woman had obviously been telling a joke and the right thing to do was giggle once it was executed. Now you see, just now she
blew up her plates. Why on earth would she put her feet on more plates and try her luck again??? See? Funny joke. Good one professor.
Ahem. Placing both on her table again she tried the spell once more.
"Pedestis!" Tap. She watched the plate moving and narrowing but scowled when it turned into nothing more than a floppy looking shoe that sagged about. Mm.
She was about to scowl when the girl's voice caught her attention. Lex turned to her with slightly widened eyes. As far as she was concerned the two had never spoken before so how'd she know her name...she wouldn't question it. Instead she focused on the shoes...shoe? shoes? Meh.
"Cooool! how'd you get it to do that??" She sooo had to teach her.
