Milton couldn't believe he was doing homework. And with HER. Sierra Griengoth. They were like, mortal enemies, for Merlin's sake. Okay, no, that wasn't true. Milton didn't really have anything against her except for when she smashed his arm to bits during quidditch besides the fact that she was dating Kennedy Escalante, whom he also disliked for no good reason. But ANYWAY. They were doing homework together. Whoop dee doo.

Following Sierra into the homework room, Milton crossed his arms as she got her wand out. His favorite outfit? "Erm... I dunno, I guess... nice jeans, plaid shirt, and some sneakers? Unless I'm in a sweater mood, then I'll wear some dressier shoes. Sometimes boots." But that didn't really answer her question. "Let's go with nicer shoes." They were easier, right? They had less detail and texture than sneakers or tennis shoes.

Giggle! Ella had a feeling Sophie was going to react like that. "I figured you would see things her way." BEAM. "If you had it your way, everything would be rainbow!" Not that Ella minded that, actually. Rainbows were quite pretty!

Hmmm...what did Ella think about the shoes for her outfit? "I think plain is a really good idea, actually." Because Ella's outfit was kind of understated but the pants were quite BAM!In your face and bright too. "And you're totally not bad at this! Don't doubt yourself." Cause Sophie was super smart and Ella was convinced her best friend could be good at anything she put her mind to.

"They ARE terrible and painful...I don't get why adults wear them so much." Even if they looked nice nothing was worth that pain. Ella would continue to be happily short, thank you very much.

Black and white or what? Ella looked at her outfit thoughtfully for a few minutes before turning back to her friend. "I think black would be kind of cool, since I've got the white shirt going on." And then they'd stand out a bit too, black being quite an attention grabber and all. She kind of liked the idea of an outfit with all different colors.

BEAMMMM! Sophie liked her sketch? This made Ella smile. "Thanks! I figured the black would be nice with all the colors you have in your outfit and erm...the rainbow shoelaces seemed to scream SOPHIE." GIGGLE. In all honesty, Ella was just really glad she didn't hate them. She looked at her friend sheepishly as she watched her reaction to the knee high sneakers. YUP! They were totally not what Sophie wanted. Heh. "I'll do better next try."

Giggle. At least Sophie wasn't getting things perfectly on the first try either! That made Ella feel a bit better. "I think the first pair is really nice but maybe a bit too plain?" But still very wearable, of course. "The second pair...erm..." Giggle. Well Sophie seemed to have the same reaction to those that Ella would have had. "My turn."

Ella tapped her plates before saying, "Pedestis." This time a pair of high-top black sneakers appeared only there were no colorful laces or anything. Frown. "I wonder why the laces didn't come out as planned..." She said thoughtfully, eyeing her friend.

Sierra did an inward roll of her eyes as Milton changed his mind time and again on his favorite outfit. He was like a female with all those wardrobe changes. Come to think of it, she sort of expected that kind of behavior from him. He was super conceited. She shrugged. "Fine. I'll go with...a sweater and a nice pair of jeans," she said. That's what she'd be matching.

She gestured toward the paper plates she'd tossed on the floor. "Okay, so let's get this done, hmm? Step on the plates, so I can fit them to your feet," she instructed. Milton had been in class, right? He remembered the drill. Or, that was the hope, at least. As she waited for him to do this, she tried to remember the spell and wand movement they'd done in class. Pedestis, with a very gentle tap of the wand against each plate, right?

Milton nodded. "Sounds good." He wore that most of the time anyway. At his cue, Milton stepped onto the paper plates so Sierra could do her thing and make him pretty shoes. "I'm trusting you not to turn these into bunny slippers or something..." He narrowed his eyes at her a little. JUST saying. She was in trouble if she tried to pull a stunt like that.

"What's your favorite outfit?" he asked, while he waited for her to figure something out. That way he could work on brainstorming some ideas for shoes to make for her while she worked on his. Maybe he'd give her eight-inch heels and see if she could stand up in them. Hehehe.

Sierra was eyeing the paper plates. She was waiting for that one moment when Milton stepped on them, and then she was going to cast. She already had the perfect shoes in mind. They were big, white, and fluffy. They had long bunny ears on them, and a big, pink nose. Yes, she was going to give Miltn Shacklebolt BUNNY SLIPPERS! Bwah haha!

She grinned when she saw him step onto the plates. "Pede--..." She paused. Just as she'd been about to cast, he'd opened his big mouth and said something about her not giving him bunny slippers. Well, what was the fun in a joke if he expected it?! She sighed and tried to think of something else. This time, she actually pictured a pair of shoes she thought Milton would like. They were brown all over and would look good with a pair of jeans and a sweater.

"Pedestis!" she said, tapping each plate once. She couldn't answer his question. Not yet. She was working too hard on focusing to get this right. "Anything that goes with Uggs," she managed to see. "They're a type of boot." A second later, she was back to picturing how she hoped the shoes would look.

Milton raised an eyebrow when she paused... Was she REALLY thinking about giving him bunny slippers? VERY funny, Griengoth. Very funny. Milton crossed his arms and eyed her some more as she started over again. After she cast the spell, Milton looked down and inspected the shoes she made. Hmmmm. "Not bad, Griengoth," he said, twisting his feet and checking them out. "Not bad at all."

Uggs? What in the world were Uggs? Milton didn't really speak fashion. He just bought expensive clothes that looked good on him, he didn't care what it was called. But they were boots, apparently, like she said. "Hmmm." Milton smirked and tapped his chin, creating a mental image of some boots that Sierra might like. Or... might NOT like, depending on if she could walk in six inch heels or not.

"My turn," Milton said and placed two paper plates onto the floor. Once she was on them, Milton closed his eyes and envisioned the boots in his mind again until they were all he saw. He wanted to get them right... "Pedestis," he said, tapping the paper plates. He opened his eyes and saw the plates turn black and fold over her feet as the extend aaaaaall the way up to her knee before they stopped growing. But they weren't done. The heel of the boot was raised six inches as two skinny poles grew from under Sierra's new boots, making her much taller than before.

Satisfied, Milton stood up to look at the boots from a distance. SMIRK. "Lookin' gooooood." Oh, and look, she was almost as tall as him now. Heh.

Sierra grinned when she saw that the shoes had appeared in perfect fashion. Or, at least, they'd been the exact pair Sierra had imagined. Hmm. Maybe she was starting to get the hang of creating clothes after all. This was the first time she'd had luck in creating what she'd imagined on the first try. "Not bad at all," she repeated with a smirk. She was glad he liked them, because...he'd probably whine if he didn't, and she was in no mood for whining.

Sierra stood tall and still as Milton cast the spell on the paper plates she'd stood on. She could feel them forming around her feet. It was a weird feeling, really. It wasn't often you felt paper sliding it's way across your body and slowing turning into shoes. Sierra braced herself for whatever was to come. Who knew was Shacklebolt would come up... She really should be awarded full credit just for trusting him to cast on her.

When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help the gasp that came out her mouth. "Oh my...MILTON! These are not Uggs!" she said. Could she even walk in these? "Dear Merlin, my mother would kill me if she saw me in these!" ...and then Sierra had to take a picture and hang it on the wall--forever proof!

Milton GRINNED at Sierra, who obviously wasn't as excited about the boots as he was. They weren't Uggs? Well, that wasn't his fault. "I don't know what Uggs are! You said boots and you got boots - don't complain!" Teeheeeee. Oh, Milton would love to see Lafay's face if she saw her daughter walking around in boots like that. That is, IF Sierra could walk. "We could go take a trip to her office if you want. I'm sure she'd love them" She might even steal them. They kind of screamed "EVIL WITCH".

"Ready for your photoshoot, Ladybug?" he asked, bringing back that old teasing nickname he heard that one man call her on the train ride several months ago. Bwahaha. Milton snatched the camera off the table and snapped a picture of Sierra in her lovely boots. He wondered if he got extra credit for making such a drastic change to the paper plates. They were so TALL.

Milton then handed over the camera to Sierra and striked a pose so she could take his picture. He was BORN to be a model, wasn't he? Evolette McKenna thought so, anyway.

"I'm not complaining about the boots," she snapped back. "You couldn't have summoned up a shorter pair of heels?" She couldn't even walk! ...and he WOULD be getting these off her feet before they left here. Either that, or he would suffer the wrath of her mother! She glared at Milton. "Don't you dare speak ill of my mother. Especially right now, when she's..." Dying. Sierra would never say it out loud.

She was ready for a photoshoot alright. Snap the photo, while shooting the photographer an evil glare. When the picture came out, Sierra snatched it away from MILDEW and used her wand to banish it to the board. She fixed it up there along with the others. Right. She couldn't move. Then she took the camera from MILDEW, sighed, and snapped a picture of him, too.

She should have given him bunny slippers...

"Don't call me Ladybug," she mumbled under her breath. Darn you, Ian Amoroso!

OOC: Full outfit. I can not properly draw boots with jeans.

Milton snorted. A shorter pair of heels? "Oh yes, I could have. But I enjoy watching watching you suffer." Milton smiled pleasantly at Sierra... until she sort of snapped at her about her mother. "I wasn't speaking ill of her." Only thinking ill of her. But when Sierra stopped before she finished her sentence, he knew he shouldn't have even done that. Milton averted his eyes from Sierra's and shifted uncomfortably. "Sorry," he said quietly. Geeeesh, now he felt bad. Ugh. Feelings. Boo.

Once Milton had his picture taken, he grabbed the camera and the photo and pinned it to the board near Sierra's picture. Teammates, whether they liked it or not. And he wanted people to know that Milton Shacklebolt was the creator of those hilariously amazing boots that Sierra couldn't walk in.

"Mhm, sure thing, Ladybug," he said with a smirk as he set the camera down and turned back to the Slytherin. He was really tempted to just leave her in the room with those shoes and see if she was smart enough to get herself out. Actually... maybe he would. "Well," he began, grabbing his wand and his school bag again. "Thanks for shoes. I hope you enjoy yours and... learn how to walk in them." Milton smiled pleasantly again. "Toodleooo," he said and walked right out of the room, leaving Sierra stranded in six inch heels. Hehe.

"Of course it would!" Rainbowy things were the coolest! The outfit she had created proooved it! Nod, nod.

So plain it was! Sophie was glad that Ella wanted something plain, because that meant she wouldn't have to put that much thinking into it to get something all fancy and girly and yadda yadda. "I'm not doubting myself, I just don't care about this kind of stuff." This fact made Sophie... not know anything fashion related. And she really didn't mind at all. "It's alright, though, I can totally do something 'plain'." Grin!

"I'm glad my mum is not a fan either, so she never made me wear heels." Sophie said looking at Ella with her eyebrows raised. "Actually, I've never seen her wearing those kind of things either!" Marcy was pretty much always in the garden, so it wouldn't be that logic to go around wearing heels, right? Nonsense!

ALRIGHT! Then black it was! Though Sophie had an idea that she would put into action and see what Ella thought about it. She didn't draw it, but she had a clear image of what she wanted in her mind already.

The young badger giggled with her friend when the blonde said the rainbow shoelaces screamed her name. That was brilliant and made Sophie happy! She diiiid love rainbows after all!

"Yeah, I have something in my mind." She watched Ella's new attempt before trying again. "Maybe you just need to focus more on what you want?" Sophie offered helpfully. "Sometimes we're so excited to get something right that we forget we need to concentrate!" She added nodding her head. That happened to her all the time, actually. Hehe.

Ella would totally get that right and Sophie knew it. And Sophie would get it right tooooo! "Oaky, I have this new idea! Here, I'll show you." Hopefully it would work.

Placing both paper plates in front of her, Sophie stared at them, picturing the shoes as hard as she could. She had just told Ella she needed to focus and all, so she couldn't fail at this part now, right? So CONCENTRATION!! "Pedestis!" Tap! Tap!

Before them was now a pair of black flat shoes, with two thin stripes, a white and a red one. TO MATCH THE SHIRT AAAND PANTS! Haaaaaah! Heeheehee. "I suppose these are wearable!" She said, putting down her wand and holding them up to take a better look.

Had Vickers been the kind of guy that listened to AC/DC and dreamed himself a rockstar he would totally love these boots, not even bothering to remember that its for his class partner. He’d be out there strutting around, spinning and jumping like he was onstage in an imaginary concert showing off his awesomeness…

But he wasnt. In fact, he wouldn’t even be caught dead in something like those. He just wasn’t sure why the leather boots ended up looking like crocodile boots….Perhaps he took the leather part a little too seriously?

But in any case Ethan needed his shoes and Vickers had some tweaking to do ”Right, let me try to fix that…” he murmured as he hovered his wand over the reptilian-type finish and tapped them again ”Pedestis!” he uttered. The boots’s surface started to ripple and darken, wave after wave until it has smoothen out , then rippled back up to finish the boots’ transformation. ”There… its brown… well brown for the most part.” he didn’t quite understand where that pattern came from. He looked back up to Ethan to see if his fellow Claw was ok with this second version of the boots…

Kurumi flipped through her magazine some more until...OOOOOOOOOOOOH! OKay...she really liked those shoes. She wasn't sure that she herself could ever wear something like them, but they seemed sort of sophisticated with just enough edge that they would flatter Vivi and her...toes? Ankles? Legs? Vivi did have nice legs, as far as legs went. Or, well, Kurumi thought so since she had rather short legs and so did Selina, so among her closest girl friends Vivi had the nicest legs and...

she really just needed to stop staring at Vivi's legs and go get some paper plates.

So...OFF she went to fetch paper plates for the pair of them. Once she had set some next to Vivi, Kurumi turned her attention to her own plates and stared at the page in the magazine for a few more moments until the image of them was engraved in her mind. Once she felt settled, Kurumi pointed her wand at the two plates. "Pedestis!" After two taps the plates quickly morphed into prefect replicas of the black shoes she had seen in the magazine. Perfect. "Time for you to get dressed," she beamed at Vivi.

Kurumi stood waiting with the polaroid camera until Vivi came back and when she did Kurumi was in awe. SEE! Vivi did look all pretty and fancy and like a model. Merlin Kurumi was going to be awkward when the roles were reversed. "You look lovely, very feminine but still retaining your essence," Kurumi nodded as she held up the camera. "Smile!"

*CLICK*

Once the polaroid had come out and developed, Kurumi gave it an approving nod before walking up to the cork board and pinning it to it. There, now everyone could see now nice Vivi looked. She then turned and looked at Vivi shyly. "Guess I should get changed too...." she said with a small blush before heading off to do just that.

"Reverto." For what seemed like the hundredth time, he was back to the drawing board. Or the paper plates, rather. But this time he was gonna get it completely right. He could feel it! With a deep breath, Pao took his place with his feet upon the plates. Fur, face, feel...

The very tip of his wand tapped each plate in turn. Excitement laced his voice when he said, "Pedestis!" Yet again he eagerly watched the transformation. The face was the last bit to finish, and he held his breath as it took shape. The finished product was... Perfect!

It was surely the right size this time, since he was standing on the plates like he should have done the last time around. "Face is good.. Fluffy padding is perfect.. Fur is soft and fine.." And the color was even where he wanted it. "I'd call these good!" Behold, fluffy badger slippers!

Pao took the slippers off somewhat unwillingly and fitted them on the mannequin. "I hope we get this stuff back soon! You'll be perfect for studying for exams in a week or two." With those parting words, Pao departed the the practice room for the last time of the year. Would he be back next term? Only time could tell.

So Hannah wanted to have high heels, well Laura was sure that she could do that, it wouldn't be hard, she would also give Hannah the two inch heels that her enermy wanted, she just hoped that Hannah would give her what she wanted and not try and make something that wouldn't fit her, because if she did that Laura would be really annoyed with Hannah.

Laura took a bag and smiled, so now she just had to try and make those heels for Hannah. "Pedestis!" Laura looked at the bag and sighed, it had got a bit wrong but never mind, she could try again, these shoes were red and looked like clown shoes, they were perfect for Hannah but well she didn't want to have Hannah being annoyed with her.

Laura got another bag and took her wand out and concentrated on the item that she was changing. "Pedestis." Laura looked at the thing that was there, she had created a 4inch heel that was grey, she looked at Hannah and wondered what Hannah would say about it.

Thankfully Laura was on board with the red shoes instead of the pink ones. At first Laura looked like she was going to argue about it but seemed to think better of it... which really was a good thing. "So red it is!" Now she needed to concentrate and that was going to be hard considering she was working with her enemy and all.

She tried to picture exactly how the red shoes should look in her mind. She pictured them open toe with about a four inch heel and shiny because that just seemed like Laura's style and she wanted to do good work so Laura would do good work on hers. "Here goes nothing." Just as she was about to start on the spell she noticed that Laura's first attempt went wrong... horribly wrong. What was up with the clown shoes? Hannah was just about to open her mouth but decided against it because Laura was actually trying to fix the problem.

Now where was she? She thought of the red shoes once more. ”Pedestis!” and frowned as nothing happened. Not again!!! That sure was getting old you know. She tried to gather herself and focus once more. "Pedestic!" she cried and watched as two pair of shoes formed in front of her eyes. They were not red, but hot pink. UGH!!! They were four inch heels and even had silver sparkles on them. She thought they were gag worthy, but she decided to ask Laura what she thought because that definitely looked like something that she would wear. Before she could get any words out she noticed the grey pair that Laura had made for her. "Not grey, Hyde... they have to be black. I can work with the four inches but not the whole grey thing!" There she was nice about it and all!

"So what do you think about yours?"

Laura looked at Hannah and sighed, as she saw the shoes, she had done, they were PINK!!! PINK!! Laura liked Pink but those shoes they were HORRIBLE, hadn't she said she wanted Red, these were pink and sparkly. "I can do with the sparkly theme, but it doesn't go well with Pink, eh she liked pink but these shoes were too pink. "I want Red!" Laura was going to give Hannah to clown shoes if she didn't fix hers.

Laura looked at the shoes, she had made, seriously what was wrong with grey, but she wanted Hannah to fix her shoes so she was going to fix hers, this was either going to be good or bad, she hoped it would be the first. "Pedestis!!" Laura concentrated really hard on the shoes and smiled when they changed colour to black." Laura was really happy it had worked. "Come on Hannah, you have to try them on now." Laura smiled.

Ethan watched Vickers carefully as he seemed to be almost daydreaming.. about the shoes, maybe? Or maybe just trying to focus on a different style..

At any rate, the boy nodded and gave him another encouraging smile to his housemate as he began to attempt to change the style of the shoes. Transfiguration did not come easy to Ethan.. at all.. and he was more than patient with anyone else's attempts with the subject. The 16 year old watched the shoes begin to change again.. this time smoothing out and becoming a classy shade of brown.. the variations in the material were pretty cool too.

"Works for me, mate," he grinned up at Vickers. They went pretty well with his outfit, he thought. He turned and grabbed a couple paper plates off their table and held them out to the seventh year. "Ready for me to try?" Hopefully he would have the same success..

Beam! Nod. Nod. Nod. Ella agreed and she really did think Rainbows were cute nice!

Oh? Well that was honest. Ella laughed a bit before nodding. "I see, well not everyone does." Grin. The third year applauded her friend's honesty, she really did. "Yup, you totally can." Cause Ella believed in her friend. Mhm!

Sophie's mom didn't wear heels? That was pretty awesome, actually! Ella's mom di-erm...used to wear them all the time. Who knew what she put on her feet these days. Frowwwwwn.

"Focusing more on what I want...." Ella repeated, eyeing her drawing and then the plates. "I think you're probably right." And that was a good point too, the getting excited thing. The blonde often got excited when she got to try out new things so concentration sometimes was quite hard. "Good thinking, Soph." She said happily, giving her friend a smile.

Pointing her wand at the plates yet again, Ella tapped each before saying, "Pedestis!" O____O Merlin's beard! It totally worked this time! Ella jumped up and down before smiling sheepishly at her friend and holding up the pair of sneakers. "So...what do you think of these, Soph?" Hopefully she liked them!

Ohhhh! And Sophie had a new idea? Ella watched carefully as her friend created a really cool looking pair of flats! They were perfect for her outfit and so she BEAMED at her friend! "I love them!" GRIN. "It's nice that they have the stripes to match the outfit!" PSH. And Sophie said she was no good at this sort of stuff.

...

After putting on her outfit complete with the shoes Sophie had created, Ella stood off to the far wall and handed Sophie the camera. "Alright Soph, you take my picture and then I'll do yours." And the blonde did a little pose and giggled before grabbing the camera from her friend.

"Alright, now I'll take yours." And she did.

Vivi blushed wildly at what Kurumi was saying, and she even bent slightly at the waist to study her legs. What... did she really? That was AWFULLY nice of Kurumi to say, even if it was one of those nice things friends told each other. No one had ever suggested such a thing to Vivi before.

The shoes that Kurumi had picked were perfect, actually, a little edgy compared to the girly feel of her outfit, and Vivi held out one foot for Kurumi to admire it. Seeeee? It was so pretty. She did pose obediently for the girl before turning her attention back to her own Transfiguration project.

Shoes to go with that fluffy skirt and big bow? It was a difficult call, and so Vivi went with something much simpler but still very elegant. She wobbled slightly as she retrieved plates and put them on the ground, indicating that Kurumi should stand on them. "Pedestis," Vivi pointed the wand at each plate in turn and watched as they wrapped up and around the other girl's feet and turned black. Her focus was intent - it would be terrible to screw up someone else's outfit... far worse than screwing up her own.

"Go change into the rest of your outfit, and we'll get pictures of you," Vivi instructed, and she practiced walking in heels as Kurumi disappeared behind the screen to change. "Oooh, see? I knew you'd look like a princess. It's ridiculous, really," Vivi applauded Kurumi's pretty pretty skirt and how very poised and elegant she looked with bare shoulders. It wasn't a look everyone could pull off, but Kurumi did it with aplomb.

"Pictures, pictures!" Vivi sang, snapping a frantic polaroid and then handing it over for Kurumi's approval. "Can you walk?"

"Of course you do, you scumbag," Sierra said, shooting him one of her best glares. How could he...UGH! He was just being actually pleasant five minutes ago, and now he had her back wanting to hex him into three Saturdays and back. There was one tiny moment when she thought he actually looked concerned for her situation involving her mother, but he could not be trusted. AT ALL.

She noticed the way he tacked his picture onto the wall right next to hers. UGH. She'd have to make a special trip back in here to move it. "Whatever," she snapped, when he started thanking her for the shoes. She should really kick him with hers. Heh. She was just about to say that when...wait--"Milton? ... MILTON!" Oh no he didn't!

She waited until after he was gone to try and walk out. She would never give him the satisfaction of letting him watch her fall flat on her wave. A few stumbles and two crashes into the wall later, she was heading out the door. Milton Shacklebolt, this is WAR.
