There is a door you pass every time you walk along the sixth floor corridor, but it's usually locked up. And will be again. Not so now. It even has a new sign attached, put there by Professor Magnus, instructing you as to what it's for.

Pushing it open you notice that it's not much different to the practice room in size, but it does lack all of the clutter. Instead the only things in the room are the windowdummies you've been using in class, now decked out in the full outfits you've been making all term. Hung around the necks of the mannequins are little signs with a name on - your names. They won't be needed for the last assignment of term, but the pile of paper plates on the side table will be.
Homework Task One: Create a top/jumper/sweater/t-shirt (Summus Vestis)= Completed
Homework Task Two: Create a skirt/trousers/shorts (Summitto Vestis) = Completed
Homework Task Three: Create a pair of boots/shoes (Pedestis) = TBD
A table is now situated off to the left side of the room as you enter, with paper plates on and an old-fashioned muggle camera - the only sort you'll be able to use in the room. Please do not touch it until you have completed your homework, and only then to take one photo of yourself to pin to the corkboard above the table. Thank you.
OOC: As we are doing a task that will cover all three lessons, so too will the homework. This thread is where you MUST RP whatever I set for you. The dummies are to be used to complete your homework assignments - like you're a fashion designer, say. ^__^ Please try NOT to double/triple etc.. post in here. If you have any questions about what to do in here, or homework in general, do contact me via PM.

As soon as Jory entered the room, the first thing he noticed was the mannequins. Loads of them. "Were so many students in class?'' he wondered absentmindedly as he began the search for his mannequin. He spotted familiar names as he did so but not his mannequin as yet. After a couple of minutes, he did however. He grabbed it and moved it to a less crowded spot so he could begin his work.
The badger sat in front of the mannequin cross legged. A sketch of his design would be just the right start. Reaching into his bag, he pulled out some plain white sheets of paper, a pencil and some coloured ones. He decided he would create another Tee shirt.
Jory carefully sketched a normal looking Tee shirt. "Now for some deigns,'' he thought. “A multi coloured one? One with picture like designs?'' He finally decided it would be tri coloured with racing track and a few race cars. And the three colours would be sky blue, white and dark blue.

HELLO! Had anyone seen her during the fashion seminar last term? She had mostly been mimicking her grandmother when she had come up with a pattern and the dress, well, it was something that she had seen in a magazine once - and still wanted it.
So when Kurumi entered the room Professor Magnus had set up for them to use for their homework...Kurumi felt looooooooooost. During the lesson she had barely managed a stripped t-shirt before Elijah had been half naked and talking about...things.
Which reminded her that she still needed to ask Lewis if he knew how to make his pecs dance like Elijah had. Hehe.
But, um, right...thinking about transfiguring clothing right now...not pecs. FOCUS HOLLINGBERRY!
Kurumi grabbed some trash bags - in case she melted one again, and walked over to the mannequins when she noticed Vivi - who got a finger wiggle greeting just as a light bulb went off in her head. "Heeeeeeeey Vivi," Kurumi greeted, finger still wiggling a little.
The Ravenclaw had managed to make a rather impressive looking jacket during the lesson, not to mention always seemed to be well put together in comparison to Kurumi...so maaaaaaaaaybe they could work together on this assignment? Yes. PLEASE?!
Kurumi slipped one of the trash bags over the mannequin in front of her and then sort of scooted it a little closer to Vivi's in an oh-so-obvious way.
Vivi wiggled her fingers back at the approach of Kurumi, although she really was planning on ignoring the girl and everyone else as she focused on the problem of fashion. Fashion... was a really big problem.
Vivi had none. She managed to fool people by wearing a lot of black and letting her twin dress her from time to time, but this was even worst than putting together an 'outfit'. It was designing an outfit. It was a nightmare.
Merlin, was this her boggart? WAS SHE BEING TRICKED? It would figure she'd go to the trouble of designing an outfit only to discover she'd been snagged by a boggart for the duration of the term.
When Kurumi demonstrated that she was setting up right beside her, Vivi cast the girl a beseeching look and pointed at sad Vivi-quin. "Do you see this? Vivi-quin wearing a rubbish bag? Because if you see a giant vampire bat or something, then I think we have a boggart, and I totally know how to get rid of that."
Post 4 - Kat getting a bit mad lol and a little imperfection

Even her second attempt went bad. Ugh. Kat wanted to burst so badly or maybe she send out unexpected fireworks over the room. No, Kat was not impatient, but she had so much homework left to do. Kat closed her eyes to stop herself from releasing the animal in her. "Kat, please don't set fire like a firework. Not here. Not now. Not when you're trying to do something important," she whispered to herself.
Once she opened her eyes, her patience has extended and she could really use another attempt. She just promised herself not to get mad if she failed. She thought first, what did she do wrong? Then she remembered that she forgot to focus or keep in mind her desired shirt. Now, she knew and she wanted to attempt again. She took her wand out and thought of her shirt. "Summus Vestis," she said with the Z hand movement. Then a beam of light hit her mannequin with the rubbish bag. She looked if it went perfectly right, but just to see that her rubbish bag did turn into a shirt. But not exactly what she expected it to be. Besides having silver sleeves, it turned greyish blue. Great, now people would think she was a Slytherclaw.

Juliet sat down on the chair and started thinking of a nice design top for this homework. She could start with anything at all though. She's not capably sure what she can do or design at this moment. She doesn't even have a decent design in her mind. Yes, she's excited but then again the designs are all clashing, she doesn't think that she could picture out something that she really wants to. She just needed to sort it out right now.
She started tapping her fingers on the table and taking a few deep breaths. Breathe in...... breathe out. Tik tok tik tok. Okay, first things first, she just needs to draw something plain. Since they are allowed to design more of it later when they're finished. Grabbing the muggle pencil, she now started scribbling at her parchment.
Scribble. Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.
She managed to finish the design but it's pretty much bland. Plain. Really. Nothing much but she can just make it prettier later. Yup, she'll do that. Nod. Nod.

Theodore found the mannequin with his name on it, and gave it a full round observation. He didn't need to take sizing into account, but he would, just to make it seem a whole lot more real and stuff. Next up, was the plastic bag. The second year fastened it tightly across the mannequin, like it had been in class, and he nodded.
What was that spell again? He'd written it on his hand.
Summus Vestis.
Pulling out his wand, Theo took another look at his design and then closed his eyes tightly to memorize it thoroughly into his brain. Theoman. Theoman. Theoman.
"Summus Vestis!" His eyes flickered open, and something did shoot out of his wand, but it didn't DO anything. It didn't take him long to figure out why. He'd forgotten the Z wand movement.... AGAIN. "Stupid thing...." He mumbled, then stood with his hand on his hip to observe some more. Observing was key, it seemed.

Helen kept on trying and trying to perfect the spell but rubbish bag after rubbish bag were being used, and then turned into something completely different to what she wanted, then was ripped off the dummy and thrown to the right side of her. She looked down at the products of her mistakes and frustrations: parchment robe, lime green dress, blue crop top, orange and yellow jumper, white/cream heavy coat, a black vest and many more. The only thing that was even close to what she wanted was a green tube top but it looked horrible and she couldnt possibly hand that in to the Professor and make such a fool and embarassment of herself.
She looked around to grab some techniques from people around her since what she was doing and trying wasnt working at all in her favour. She looked at some people's designs and saw that many based their designs on their houses and their drawings and designs were quite detailed and had some sort of significance to them. She decided to add to her design and drew on big bold letters saying HG which were her initials. She looked at her design and saw it was much more detailed than how she originally drew it. Maybe the reason why the spell wasnt working was because her design wasnt detailed.

Finger wiggling...this was something new to Kurumi, but it wasn't as awkward as other greetings were. Like hugs. People hugging when they said hello was something that took her about 5 terms to get used to and even now she reserved such greeting for people like Selina, Lewis, and Treyen.
Scooting just a liiiiiittle closer to the girl, Kurumi's eyes widened and she sort of just gawked at Vivi for a moment. "Vivi-quin?" she repeated, cocking her head to the side. "I thought they were mannequins." Obviously missing the point. Oh well. "No vampire bats...just a mannequin in a rubbish bag like mine," she replied as she gave the black plastic another firm tug. "My boggart wouldn't be a vampire bat anyway. Those are too cute." And she was being 100 percent serious in that comment. Just because they had vampire in the name didn't mean they were dark creatures or anything.
But then Kurumi realized something. "Wait....are you saying that...fashion is your boggart?" Because it might as well be for Kurumi.

Melanie turned her wand in her hand, twirling it in between her fingers absentmindedly. She just really needed to focus hard on this to get it right, didn't she? She stared at her sketch for a few minutes. It really didn't look that difficult. Melanie turned her head to focus back on the black bag covering the mannequin's body. She could do it, she was fairly sure of that.
"Summus Vestis," Melanie said, making a Z with her hand.
She waited for the shirt to appear. She was pretty sure she hadn't don't anything wrong. Except, instead of the long sleeved shirt with a collar she had imagined and sketched out, there was a black object that resembled the form of it. Except it wasn't pink. And it didn't feel soft. Melanie reached out a hand and poked it with her finger. Nope. It felt like plastic. She let out a long sigh and ran her fingers through her hair. Transfiguration really shouldn't be this hard.

Daichi didn't want to do this homework. Not because he didn't like fashion, it was because he hadn't even gotten the spell right during class. Buuuut if he wanted to pass his OWLs he needed to complete his homework as well , right?
With his school bag hanging loosely over his shoulder, Daichi dragged his feet inside the practise room. He stopped in his track as he stared at the dummies around the room and blinked his eyes before moving to search his own.
Daichi...Daichi...Dai....oh! There it was~! Hidden behind a few other dummies...at the back.. MWEH! He grabbed his own dummy by the arm and dragged it to the front. But as he dragged it, he accidentally knocked down three others.
Squeaking an apology to the inanimated things, he quickly picked them one by one from the ground and continued to drag his own Dummy labeled with his name. Why not use a levitation charm and hover it above the others?
PPFFT! YEAH RIGHT! he would blow this whole room up~ So he was doing this, muggle style! Finding a spot that was pretty clear from the others, Daichi saw a familiar looking kid sitting crossed legged on the ground, working on his masterpiece! Curiously, Daichi bent to the side and checked his drawning. N'awww the cars were cuuute!
Wait, cool guys didn't say cute.... "HIIIII~!" he knew his name! He did! it was ...uhm...."HIIII~~!"
Yeah he forgot... Pouting his lips, Daichi sat down on the ground as well and grabbed his writing material out of his bag. Now what to make as a design?
Helen looked at her watch and saw she had only 5 minutes left and she looked to her side to see she only had one more rubbish bag to use left. This was it - the final chance to perfect this spell and create her tube top. She saw many were near to finishing and near to the same stage as her so she really needed to do this now or it was never going to get done. She grabbed the rubbish bag, clipped it round the dummy and got her wand out - ready to perform the spell.
She inhaled and exhaled 3 times, started to concentrate on just her design and nothing else (cleared her head), closed her eyes and started saying the incantation over and over again whilst moving her wand in slow Z motions in front of the dummy. She did this for about 30 seconds then she felt some kind of strong energy coming out of her wand. Excitement was building up in her body but she didnt want anything to distract her until she was sure something had happened. After another 30 seconds, she opened her eyes again and smiled. In front of her was a white tube top that went to just above her hips. It had diagonal lines and the space between them were filled with bright colours (order from top to bottom: cream, red, pink, blue, purple and yellow). In the left corner was her initials (HG) in blue, bold letters. She squeked in delight and didnt care whether people heard her or not - her top was exactly how she imagined it to be like and more.
She didnt know whether she should take the top with her or leave it on the dummy. She decided to leave it on the dummy but cast a spell on and around it so no one could take it off of it (except her or the professor). She put the name tag back on the dummy and put it back where she got it and walked towards the door to leave the room. "Oh how I love transfiguration?" she said to herself as she walked out of the homework room, signifying her finishing her homework.
So Elliot was...a fashion designer? Weird. Did this mean that she...liked fashion? She couldn't tell. Because she certainly did like designing clothes and putting together outfits. She always dressed herself, from when she was a small child...Merlin, the things her mother would have dressed her in! Gah! Would have been simply awful.
She had her bag slung over her shoulder...her wand tucked behind her ear for good measure, and her blue eyes flickering around the room, searching for her mannequin. She wished Professor Magnus was in here to help them. Meh. Not that Elliot NEEDED help. She was quite good at the spell already.
It was getting the shirt like she wanted...which was the hard part. But right now...well, since this was part of a final project type thing, the shirt needed to be...FABULOUS! Absolutely fabulous...Lace? maybe. Or maybe she would try something else. And she wanted the color red. Maybe..who knew...Merlin, she didn't even know what she WANTED!
So she took a seat next to her mannequin...and tried to decide what she even wanted her outfit to look like...she couldn't draw worth a knut, so...yeah. Ideas were all she could have.
Hmm...she wanted a pretty shirt and skirt? Or pants? She didn't know. Maybe she would just design the shirt...and then go from there as the term went on...gosh...
I changed my mind. i don't WANT red...no....maybe a pretty light blue? Yeah. That would have to work...so she decided to transform the bag into just a light blue t-shirt...and then she would work from there, no?
Ahem. "Summus Vestis!" and she did the Z thingy....and tadaaa! A light blue tshirt...now..."Okay...what do I want you to look like...in the end..." she muttered to herself, sticking her wand back behind her ear...she prodded the sleeves with her finger, imagining lace..she should probably just work on the material next...it needed to be PERFECT as well as FABULOUS. Because Elliot Mitchell Morganzo was BOTH.

Theo tapped his wand against his leg, inwardly telling himself that it wasn't working purely because he needed to warm up. Not that he was possibly doing anything wrong, no, not at all. Once his wand had gotten a thwack, or two, the second year pointed it at the rubbish bag once again.
One more glance at that beautiful design lying on the ground, and...
"Summus Vestis." Theo swirled his wand into a Z shape, almost perfectly. And something had actually happened! Wooh, result!
It was green. It had the snake. And it had his desired text, but it wasn't quite the font he was looking for. Theo frowned slightly. He'd try again. Maybe 'Summus Fontis' would work?
Hehe.....
Making sure that the EXACT design he wanted was in his brain, Theodore pointed his wand at the mannequin once again aaaaand, "Summus Vestis!" And the Z movement, of course. He blinked as the shirt changed just a little bit, and it almost looked just like his design! Only WAY better.
He was going to keep this forever.

She tapped the pencil against her leg, her eyes still trained on the mannequin and her attention only half on poor Kurumi, who had not yet learned to only trust half of what the dry-witted Vivi said. "I think gigantic winged beasts might be terrifying to some people, but no... vampire bats aren't my boggart. That would be awkward with Aspen's pet being so dear to her."
Pencil to the paper, Vivi sketched a rather solid likeness of her mannequin, although she gave it some fuzzy-looking hair and a comical face. Kurumi's question stole back her attention, and she put the pencil down. "Fashion isn't my boggart, but this is sort of a surreal activity for me. I'm not shallow enough to fear clothes. I am Ravenclaw enough to fear tasks that I can't manage with panache."
Vivi turned her attention back to her parchment. "What are you going to make?"

Logan wasn't exactly very confident in his ability to do this kind of Transfiguration work, but he was still going to try. Especially since he had planned to work on his homework with Ness. Hopefully they would be stationed together for this.
Entering the classroom and not really seeing anyone he knew, Logan set about finding his dummy. She had better come soon so that he could talk to her have some company.
Walking towards where the dummies were set up, he started searching for the one that had his name on it. Once it was located, he set about taking a piece of paper out of his bag. A design needed to be sketched.
Only problem was he had no inspiration as of yet. D:
Maybe a t-shirt with a llama on it?
With a pencil, he started to sketch out what he wanted his shirt to look like. If he changed his mind, he could always alter things before setting about actually creating the thing.

MEEP, it was perfect! Theodore did a little jump of excitement, then rushed forwards to retrieve it. He gave it a nice pat down before sliding it off of the mannequin. How handy would this spell be if you ever became homeless?! Just transfigure a rubbish bag into a fluffy jumper! SORTED.
Theo laid the T-Shirt on the ground next to his design, just to compare. It was pretty dang uncanny.
He kinda wanted to make some matching trousers to go with it. But he guessed that it would be on the next lesson's agenda. And then he could complete his WHOLE Theoman costume, just from old bits of rubbish. It was a good way to economize.
After folding the shirt gently and tucking it under his arm, Theo cleared up all his stuff and skipped out of the room.

So Transfiguration homework. Cassia appreciated practical homework very much so much better than writing essays ,reports and that kinda stuff. Meh…that was boooring. While this was fun. Designing clothes was fun and could come in handy. So the second-year entered the Homework room with a smile on her face. Yup she was going to have fun doing this.
Looking around she saw quite good number of students there. Not the time to chat but it's nice to be surrounded be people, right? Cassia searched for the mannequin that had her name and sank on the floor near it. She opened her bag and retrieved a parchment and a self-inked quill. Because it was designing time!
She crossed her legs and rested the parchment on her knee. She had a vague idea of what she was going to make. She decided that it must be a T-shirt so she could wear it in the summer. They were gonna take what they made at the end of term right? Well, Cassia assumed that the answer was yes.
And so she started scribbling.

Elliot now...glanced at her watch...okaaay, she had TONS of time left...now. TO perfect her soon to be GORGEOUS shirt. Which right now looked like a plain, light blue t-shirt.
Meh.
She waved her wand and mumbled, "Reverto," and it was back to the garbage bag. Good. She had decided on lace sleeves. So not the whole shirt, just the sleeves, would be lace. come one, lace HAD to be on the shirt somehow...it was Elliot's trade mark!
Soo....she tried to clearly picture, and like CLEARLY picture the sleeves...she sighed, took a deeeeeep breath, and did the Z with her wand as she said, "Summus Vestis!" and it turned into a t shirt....again....with lace sleeves, all right, but it looked very...messy. And full of fringes. It looked TERRIBLE! Elliot stomped her foot impatiently..."You stupid garbage bag! COME ON!" she shrieked, but then she realized how loud she was being...and quickly growled quietly...OKay...
So she would try AGAIN. "Reverto." The garbage bag was back! Okay...Elliot closed her eyes, picturing a pretty blue silky shirt...silk, this time, with NEAT lace sleeves...she even tried to picture someone sewing the lace sleeves on...and being all clean about it! Would that help? She just needed to try HARDER!
"Okay...get ready to be CLOTH-I-FIED!" she told the garbage bag with a smirk...heehee..."Summus Vestis!" she cried, and YES! YES! YEESSSSS!
It was exactly how she pictured it! Whooh! She did a little victory dance(in her head, mind you!) and smirked smugly to herself...now what next? She then noticed...hey...she touched the shirt, and the material wasn't silk...WHAT?! Gah. It was a weird cotton material...Merlin. This was a lot harder than in class...probably because she was trying to be super specific now...
Ergh.

I am Ravenclaw enough to fear tasks that I can't manage with panache."
Vivi turned her attention back to her parchment. "What are you going to make?"
Oh. Well, that made sense then. It was one of those plays on words that Kurumi still didn't entirely pick up on. Sort of like Selina and her puns. "Oh, so then this would be a Kurumi-quin?" she asked, jabbing her wand at the mannequin she was going to use. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually. Drawing a face for it. They are sort of...creepy like they are now. Maybe even give them some hair? Could be like the mannequins you see in shopping malls." Suddenly this assignment didn't seem to be as terrifying...not if they could turn it into a sort of craft project instead of simply fashion design.
Deciding to sit down on the floor, Kurumi removed some parchment and a pencil from her bag and set it on top of her Transfiguration textbook, drumming it on the side. She had noooooo idea what she was going to design. NO IDEA. Which is why she looked up at Vivi with somewhat expecting eyes for a moment. "She has a vampire bat?!" Why did that suddenly make that Aparecium article even more true in the Gryffindor's mind. Honestly, no wonder she went around biting people. "I didn't know that. That is so neat! I just have a ca--- kneazle. But he is a menace to himself. Tried to pee on the former Headmaster once...maybe I should transfigure him a fashionable diaper...he pees a lot. When he is upset I mean."
Right...she was supposed to design a top today, yes? Kurumi brought her pencil down to her parchment and just drew the bust part of the mannequin - leaving the head off for now because faceless things creeped her out, and then idly drew squiggly lines in the margin. A top...um...a top... "Oh, good...because...um...I was sort of relying on you to help me with this assignment. You always seem so...fashionable...I get lost in my own closet," Kurumi admitted. "I know nothing about clothes...or fashion design." And then Vivi's next question came. "I don't know...a top?" Obvious enough. "These are outfits that will be completed at the end of the term, right? So...summer...some sort of tank top maybe?"
Kurumi shrugged. She had nooooooooooooo idea.
"What about you?"

They are sort of...creepy like they are now. Maybe even give them some hair? Could be like the mannequins you see in shopping malls." Suddenly this assignment didn't seem to be as terrifying...not if they could turn it into a sort of craft project instead of simply fashion design.
Deciding to sit down on the floor, Kurumi removed some parchment and a pencil from her bag and set it on top of her Transfiguration textbook, drumming it on the side. She had noooooo idea what she was going to design. NO IDEA. Which is why she looked up at Vivi with somewhat expecting eyes for a moment. "She has a vampire bat?!" Why did that suddenly make that Aparecium article even more true in the Gryffindor's mind. Honestly, no wonder she went around biting people. "I didn't know that. That is so neat! I just have a ca--- kneazle. But he is a menace to himself. Tried to pee on the former Headmaster once...maybe I should transfigure him a fashionable diaper...he pees a lot. When he is upset I mean."
Right...she was supposed to design a top today, yes? Kurumi brought her pencil down to her parchment and just drew the bust part of the mannequin - leaving the head off for now because faceless things creeped her out, and then idly drew squiggly lines in the margin. A top...um...a top... "Oh, good...because...um...I was sort of relying on you to help me with this assignment. You always seem so...fashionable...I get lost in my own closet," Kurumi admitted. "I know nothing about clothes...or fashion design." And then Vivi's next question came. "I don't know...a top?" Obvious enough. "These are outfits that will be completed at the end of the term, right? So...summer...some sort of tank top maybe?"
Kurumi shrugged. She had nooooooooooooo idea.
"What about you?"
"Kurumi-quin. She has so been dubbed, and so mote it be," Vivi nodded solemnly, giving Kurumi-quin a little bow. And people said that Ravenclaws were literal!
"Aspen is an original in all things," she answered with absolute loyalty as she took a seat on the floor beside Kurumi. Aspen was her longest friend, although she hadn't had much time with her now that they were actually in the same place. Still, if anyone in the entire school got her devotion, it was her mother first, and an Odessa second. New friends came in third. "I have a kneazle too, although she is a rotten little thing. We have a love-hate relationship, but I think I'm winning her over by feeding her every time I see her."
Vivi watched the other girl draw before she returned to her own drawing. Now then... what did she want to... Wait. WAIT. What was Kurumi saying? She found Vivi to be fashionable? Of all the crazy things to say, that sat well at the top of the list. Vivi tugged her ponytail and scrunched up her nose in confusion. "I'm not. Not at all. But we can do this. We're clever and the spell will come easily enough, so we just need to puzzle this part out. I think it'll help if we have a final result in mind - some specific event we want to design our project towards. End of term feast? Graduation party? That's dressy, at least, which meets the requirement of being a more complicated transfiguration."

With his school bag hanging loosely over his shoulder, Daichi dragged his feet inside the practise room. He stopped in his track as he stared at the dummies around the room and blinked his eyes before moving to search his own.
Daichi...Daichi...Dai....oh! There it was~! Hidden behind a few other dummies...at the back.. MWEH! He grabbed his own dummy by the arm and dragged it to the front. But as he dragged it, he accidentally knocked down three others.
Squeaking an apology to the inanimated things, he quickly picked them one by one from the ground and continued to drag his own Dummy labeled with his name. Why not use a levitation charm and hover it above the others?
PPFFT! YEAH RIGHT! he would blow this whole room up~ So he was doing this, muggle style! Finding a spot that was pretty clear from the others, Daichi saw a familiar looking kid sitting crossed legged on the ground, working on his masterpiece! Curiously, Daichi bent to the side and checked his drawning. N'awww the cars were cuuute!
Wait, cool guys didn't say cute.... "HIIIII~!" he knew his name! He did! it was ...uhm...."HIIII~~!"
Yeah he forgot... Pouting his lips, Daichi sat down on the ground as well and grabbed his writing material out of his bag. Now what to make as a design?
Jory was so observed in his sketch that he nearly jumped out of his skin when a loud crash came out of the no where. Looking around, he saw a familiar someone picking up some of the meannequins from the floor. He grinned as the boy said sorry to the the fallen dummies. It could have only been that particular Slytherin.
"Hey, Daichi,'' the Puff said as Daichi joined him on the floor. "Didn't forget my name, did you?'' He won't be surprised if he did- they hadn't spoken in a long time. Anyway. "Is your shirt gonna have ducks on it?'' Jory always remembered Daichi's fascination for ducks.
Now back to his own sketch. It seemed alright. He added a few more details like designs to the car rims and numbers to the cars. And now his masterpiece was complete. "Done!'' he said as he jumped up and standing in front of his mannequin. Now came the harder part. He still had a bit of trouble with the spell.
With a thrash bag on the dummy now, Jory pictured his design. "Here we go,'' he said as he raised his wand. ''Summus Vestis!'' he exclaimed and making that Z shape in front of the bag. Nothing what so ever happened. "Well that's embarrassing,'' he said as he turned to Daichi. "This spell still gives me trouble.'' Even though he had managed to get it right in class twice.
The badger turned back to the mannequin to try again. The sketch was once again in his head. ''Summus Vestis!'' A trace of the Z shape once again and he waited. Still nothing happened to the bag, not even the slightest of change. "What's wrong?'' he wondered aloud shaking his wand, with a puzzled look on his face.

Yeah...Kurumi just wasn't going to ask what that meant...
"She bit Elijah...and then he bit me," Kurumi sort of grumbled. That really was her only interaction with Aspen besides a few times in classes when the girl had sort of glared at her. Honestly, it was ALWAYS Ravenclaw girls that either had dagger eyes or harsh words towards the Gryffindor. Sometimes both. "They can be rather...selective," Kurumi laughed. Thankfully Walnut approved of Lewis, or else there would be issues.
Final result in mind. Good idea. Kurumi tapped her pencil against her bottom lip as she thought for a moment. "I like the idea of a graduation party," she said after a few moments. "Gives us something specific and, like you said, rather complicated design elements to be transfigured." Now came the whole...design element of it. If it was for a party, Kurumi assumed that a skirt would be best. She wasn't entirely opposed to to skirts so that could work. Only she needed to work out a top first. Sticking with the tank top idea, Kurumi put her pencil back to her parchment and drew a simple top, but then added a few elements - a ribbon waste band complete with a rather large bow in the front and a flower broach in the center. Switching from regular pencil to colored ones, Kurumi scribbled over the parchment until she was done.
"You think...I'm going to need to transfigure some of these elements separately?" Kurumi asked asked she held up the parchment to eye level with her mannequin. "Maybe the ribbon element is alright..."

Should Kat just be happy or sad about her outcome? I mean, yeah she made a shirt. Hoorah for her. Round of applause. But it didn't meet her standards. What would people say about her Slytherclaw-colored shirt? Ew? Cool? Yuck? Awesome? Whatever insult or compliment they could throw at her shirt? To be safe, Kat decided to try it again.
"Reparo," Kat said. The shirt turned back into a rubbish bag. "You can do it, little snake," she told herself. Position straight and wand at the ready, Kat was determined to at least try to get this one right. Closing her eyes, she focused exactly on what she wanted her shirt to be. "Summus Vestis," she said with the Z hand movement. The spell hit the rubbish bag. POOF! It turned into a sleeveless shirt. What?!

Sarah walked into the Homework room, eager to get to work. She spotted her dummy and moved towards it. She opened her homework planner to see what the job entailed. She nodded as she reread it. This was going to be hard - the decision part. So they cannot change it once she is done.. that was hard!She took out some writing implements and colours and set to work on the design sketches. The problem was that she did not know what she wanted... She drew and drew and erased and drew...
After about five minutes of pure sketching she looking down at her sketches.
SPOILER!!: sketch sheet one
She frowned... she liked the waistcoat best... it was so gryffindor. Yet she decided to draw more. She drew a simple purple button up cardigan. She drew a blouse with a victorian colllor... she drew a nice coat that was navy with gold buttons. She drew a a t-shirt with a pattern.
It was about then that she realized that she was getting nowhere.. just confusing herself and bombarding herself with more options. So she decided to stick with the plaid waist coat for now.. she could always change it

Terry couldn't draw, at least he didn't think he could. Drawing hadn't exactly been something he had been taught to do and so as he picked up a pencil and a blank piece of parchment, his expression changed to one of confusion. The room was full of mainly girls who appeared to be in their element drawing out unique designs whereas Terry had absolutely no idea what to do. He started outlining a basic t-shirt shape, one that he would be comfortable with and then started to contemplate what exactly he would like to see on a design that would make it special to him.
The first idea that came instantly into his mind was the fact his family had a Phoenix, Amadeus and he felt that this would sum him up in a design. He loved creatures and Phoenix were something he truly was familiar with. He sketched out a small design in the corner of the T-Shirt and then decided it was too small to see. He enlarged it in the corner of his parchment, deciding on a cartoon type take on the creature rather than a realistic one which he was sure he wouldn't be able to pull off. He drew a couple of lines at the top of his design as he felt it was too plain and then pulled back, satisfied that his design was okay.
Did he have to hand this in too? It was far from perfect and he was worried that it would be compared with other peoples ideas which he knew would be better than his. It was clear that the second year was out of his comfort zone.
Okay. Maybe she would work on the material now. She should have done that second, not thiiiird. Gah. Elliot had half a mind to jab her wand angrily at the mannequin...but every time she tended to do that, sparks came out....and then she would set her mannequin on fire...which would accomplish nothing. Nope. Nothing.
Hmm.
"Reverto." she growled...and the garbage was BACK. Gah. She would never want to use one of these ever again after this. Although at home she didn't typical throw away anything herself anyways...that's what house elves for for, right? right. She just wanted...a silky shirt..with lace sleeves...well, that would be what she was trying to achieve now.
Ahem.
Elliot cleared her throat and closed her eyes, focusing. Doing those focusing exercises her mother had taught her to do when she was in a temper...to help calm her down...fooooocus....okay. She was ready. Totally ready now. And with a Z motion, a flick, and a "Summus Vestis!" Elliot had.....
...a silk shirt. Just that, though. No lace sleeves. Merlin. Elliot frowned and groooowled at the shirt...as if she could scare it into changing...don't freak out...don't freak out... Transfiguration...her favorite subject...what she was best at....WAS SO FRUSTRATING! Maybe that's why she liked it. Because once you mastered a spell, you felt reeeeeaaally accomplished. And Elliot liked feeling that way. Psssh, she totally had this!
"Try again...Reverto." Garbage was back...again. "Okay...come on.." Come OOONNNN! "Summus Vestis!" she did the Z....and slowly, the spell carried up the garbage bag...and on the mannequin was what Elliot pictured! Yes! Silk light blue shirt with lace sleeves.
But it was rather plain. She needed to think of how to make this shirt BEAUTIFUL! She stared at the shirt...for a long time...just thinking....
