Ah, growth spurt problems. Neva remembered those days. "There are ways to elongate fabric, yes. The trouble is you might not get the exact length you desire on the first or even fifth try. That's why witches and and wizards tend to update their robes each year, or get them professional altered." But she was welcome to try it, if she wanted. "If you'd like to try it, the incantation is elongatis and the wand movement is a simple tap on the item you're trying to lengthen."

There WAS a magical way!! Mamie beamed at Peralta and quickly got her wand out. "My robes don't even last one year without hemming!" she said reaching down for said robe hem. "My Pa said I'm growing faster than his grandparents' sunflowers!!"

"So just tap, and elongatis?" she said, scrunching up her face as she said the incantation. It was a funny tasting word, but if it could mean she didn't have to do so much manual hemming, she'd make it work. Even if she had to lengthen her robes ten times to get them the right length.
