SummusVestisSummusVestisSummusVestisSummusVestis, Ethan repeated the spell over and over in his head before actually attempting it. And attempting was the operative word. Previous experience hadn't given the Ravenclaw much confidence in the art of Transfiguration but he was determined to make this work and got up from his seat. Pointing his wand at the mannequin, he focused for a moment. Just what kind of shirt would he want? Once he had one in mind, he swiftly moved his wand in a large Z across the bag while commanding, "Summus Vestis." Nothing.

To be honest, Ethan wasn't all that surprised. It was his first attempt and wandwork was not his specialty. Still... that Ravenclaw-ness bubbling to the surface prompted him to try again. Once again picturing the shirt in his mind, Ethand pointed his wand and moved it in a Z. "Summus Vestis." Did his bag shimmer? Ethan peered closer at his bag. The plastic material seemed to flicker for a moment but then stayed a rubbish bag. Pursing his lips in frustration, the fifth year looked furtively around the room at the other students' progress. At least he wasn't the only one having trouble - or getting paint everywhere, he thought... but he did notice several transfigured shirts around the room, many from younger students. The Ravenclaw sat back down to collect his thoughts. Frustrating! He looked up briefly as the professor mentioned giving her assistance. He thought about asking, but then deciding against it, determined to get this on his own.

Having gotten that spell and the wand work done, the Ravenclaw now focused on the garbage bag that adorned his mannequin. Should he try to take it off first or leave it on? He tugged it a few times and realized he probably needs to force the hands up and away and….. yeah that may be too fussy to even bother with.

He better focus enough that he doesn’t burn the plastic bag and the dummy along with it. Although with all the hoopla going around him, maybe he shouldn’t be worried about himself wrecking havoc on his own bag….

He tried to focus on his own task again, but he was sufficiently distracted enough, and he too was unconsciously stuck on a few things-- the very look and feel of the garbage bag, the fact that he suggested making a raincoat earlier and still debating whether he should take the bag off the dummy or not. But his wand hand started to move about, forming the letter Z against the dark plastic as the spell rolled off his lips ”Summus Vestis”…

Next thing he knew the garbage started to contract closer against the dummy’s frame, popping up a few spaces here and there. Vickers started to wince, thinking that he had burned the bag. But the shrinking and the popping have stopped until he was left with this… thing

Head angles to the side ”What the heck is it?” he murmurs.

Okay, erm...right.

"Reverto!" Sierra said, pointing her wand at the garbage bag with little threads spread out all over it. Things reversed back to how they once were, and again, Sierra was looking at a mannequin covered in a garbage bag.

Sierra looked over at West with wide-eyes. "Good...job," she said, but she was inwardly head-desking. How had the second year gotten it right on the FIRST TRY?! Okay. Now she had to get this, and soon, too.

She stared so hard at her mannequin she thought she might burn a hole through it. She focused all her intent on a green, striped sweater. She had to be stylish here, hmm? She swiped her wand in a Z-shaped formation. "Summus Vestis!" she said.

Again, the garbage bag began to rustle, and this time Sierra held her wand in place and kept her focus on that green, striped sweater. Come on, come on, come on... *POOF* In he next instance, things shifted quite quickly, and Sierra was suddenly staring at a pretty green sweater right in front of her.

"Well you know...I hadn't asked you to do it for me in the first place but I figured since you already did that you might as well had continued or just left it as it was then moved on to your own piece." That would have been the logical thing to do after wasting your time in the first place, right?

Lex sighed when she heard the frustration in the older girl's voice. This was why she didn't like asking for help. The only time she wanted to be a bother was when she was purposefully doing it--like times when she would cause mischief. She hated being a bother when there was nothing she could do about it and it wasn't her fault. SIGH. She had half a mind to thank Elliot for her help then ask her to leave her alone. Somehow she would manage to get it done by herself.

For one thing, she was positive that the girl would start laughing at her for being able to do nothing but change the colour of the bag--but she didn't! It almost sounded like she was congratulating her small efforts. It was either that or she was making fun of her...Lex liked the first one better. "Yeah, I did, didn't I?" Beam...small beam though because she had barely accomplished anything.

She watched the girl draw her own mannequin over and start working on it again after giving her a small lecture on magic not being easy; as if she didn't already figure that out.

Lex thought to laugh when Elliot didn't get hers right either but quickly changed her mind when she saw the look she gave her. Yeaaah....laughing was overrated anyway...so she turned to her mannequin again but then heard the Professor say her name...

She turned to look at her slowly, trying her hardest not to pout; not the easiest thing for a kid who had learnt a long time ago that pouting could fix just about any problem. Obviously it wouldn't help right now seeing as magic didn't respond to anything short of intent and concentration. When the Professor was done speaking she sighed heavily. "Yes Professor..." What the woman said had made sense but it didn't mean that she would completely agree--not when she still had a creepy doll and a garbage bag that refused to do anything but taunt her!

Annabelle started to get the hang of the spell. She stared at her mannequin and imagined what the sweater would look like. "Hmm i think i would like it to be a purple sweater." Belle thought to herself. She thought of her sweater and said "Summus Vestis!" she said but she forgot the wand motion. "Stupid me!" she slapped herself on the forehead.
This time...she knew she was gonna do it! "Summus Vestis!" she said with the Z formation and then the sweater appeared!
Belle stood there in shock and was amazed she got it. "Woah i did it!" she smiled to herself. The sweater was close to what she pictured anyways. Next sweater she was going to do will have something to do with house pride

So he and most of his classmates had been right, the focus of this terms lessons woulod be in transfiguring various clothing items out of other items. Certainly seemed like a useful spell to have, especially when you might have gottne chilly and didn't bring anything with you in case of such an instance. Or some such other reason for needing an article of clothing like the professor had given.

Gideon listened carefully as Professor Magnus went on to explan the actually spell, both wand movement and incantation all in one go. And then they were sent on their way to try their hand at it right off the bat. Um...no practice? No making sure there would be no mess-ups or fooling around. Oh well, they would just see what happened. The prefect for his own part, opted to try it out a few times, first running over the incantation quietly to get the feel for the wording. "Summus Vestis...Summus Vestis...Summus Vestis...Summus Vestis."

The wand movement came next as the seventh year retrieved his wan fronm where he had kept it safely up until now. Then taking the rubbish bag he had been given, Gideon laid it out on the desk in front of him and started tracing a large letter 'z' over its surface, repeating it several times to get the hang of it.

Minerva decided to try again and see if she could get a little more creative this time. She knew what she wanted to do without even sketching it. She looked at the bag and really tried to visualize the shirt that she was going to make. This was going to be tricky she thought, but taking a few deep breaths Minerva decided that she was good at transfiguration for the most part so hopefully she could pull this off. Pointing her wand towards the bag she mad the Z and said the words "Summus Vestis" She smiled as her shirt formed. She would have like a full badger, but the head was a good start.

Looking around her she could see that slowly everyone was getting the hang of it. Just what she needed to see; everyone making the spell look easy.

She didn't want to be the last one to get it. Lex took a sharp turn so she was facing the over-sized doll again and shot it a defiant glare. "I am going to get it this time." She said to the bag that only seemed to be laughing at her. Narrowing her eyes in concentration, she thought long and hard about the shirt she wanted...it was one she had seen in a store but stupid Amanda was being too mean to let them go in and look at it.

For a moment she closed her eyes and tried her hardest to cement the visual in her mind. If this was about concentration then she would have to think harder.

Good.

Taking a deep breath she raised her wand. "Summus Vestis." Aaaaand the Z shape. STARE. The bag began moving and when it came to a rest she could see the pattern...but the shirt still felt like plastic. SCOWL.

Crinkling her brows she stared over at it for a minute. "Reverto." Once it was a plain bag again she made the Z once more. "Summus Vestis." The intent was clear in Alexa's voice. She was tired of getting it wrong. Lowering her wand she stepped back and waited to see the end product. EEEeeeeeppp!!! "I actually did it!!" She exclaimed, looking over at an exact replica of the shirt she had seen in the store. A bit hesitantly she reached out to touch the fabric...it didn't feel like plastic! Amazing! "Look Professor! I actually did it!!!" BEAM. She would tell the world if she could.

Why won't you work? Ethan smacked his wand against his desk a few times in frustration and a few sparks shot out from it, landing on the plastic bag. The Ravenclaw cringed slightly as he watched the sparks cause the plastic to curl up and melt into a misshapen blob. Just perfect.

Sighing, Ethan leaned back in his chair and point his wand directly at the melted plastic. "Reverto." That was one spell he knew and knew well. He had a lot of practice having to reverse many spells gone wrong. He watched the plastic smooth out and reshape itself, then glanced around the room again. He noticed that Belle had successfully transfigured hers and he gave her a half-hearted smile. He was happy for her, sure, but he was still feeling a bit defeated. The feeling grew worse when he noticed a little Gryffie girl he was sure was a first year transfigure hers as well. Really? A first year could do this and he couldn't?

Ethan stood up again and tried to channel all his frustration into his intent on transfiguring that dumb bag. Picturing the exact shirt he wanted in his mind, he gave the bag a scowly stare as he waved his wand in a forceful Z and commanded, "Summus Vestis." His mood lightened somewhat as he watched the bag start to change... well he guessed it was a t-shirt as it was now white and seemed to be made of cotton... but it was extremely threadbare. It's a start, anyway, he thought.

Ethan was wondering if this was good enough or if he should try something better when he happened to look over at the Ravenclaw boy (Vickers) sitting caddy corner to him with a piece of haute couture on his mannequin. He leaned towards him and said, "Hey, that's a really cool... uh, vest I think they're called, right? I've seen one of those in a Muggle magazine." What was that magazine called that Claudette used to carry around? Vogue? "Well, done," he added, slightly jealous that the boy seemed to easily pull off high-fashion when Ethan had trouble with the basics... until he saw the slight look of confusion that told Ethan he hadn't intended that type of shirt at all. Oops.

Nodnodnod. Elliot nodded behind the professor, very smug INDEED. Yep

And when Magnus walked away, she nudged Alexa..."See. I'm right." She flipped her hair...you know, right as usual...ha!

Elliot rolled her eyes but grinned..."But that would have been too easy and no fun, Firstie..." liked called Alexa that. But what would happen next year? NO more firstie...

Alexa almost laughed, Elliot definitely saw it...but she quickly prodded her wand into the mannequin..."I'm gonna' get it this time, just watch, Alexa!" humph!

She concentrated, hard, on the shirt...and she even decided to change the color...because white was blending in with the mannequin too much. She said, clearly and confidently, "Summus Vest-is!" and she did the Z motion, and she watched with baited breath...the bag transform....

She positively smiiiiirked when it became the shirt she wanted! It was sooo PREETTTTYYY! Elliot LOVED it! She could soooo see herself wearing it...actually, she just might. She raised her hand, immediately, "Professor, we can keep the shirts we make, right? Because mine is awesome." Awesome. Just like Elliot!

And Dani-oops, she meant Alexa, actually got it! She did it! Elliot found herself beaaaaaming at her..."Oh Merlin, good job! It looks--" she caught herself being all nicey-nice...and coughed, and returned her face to it's usual...scowl? Maybe. "It looks...decent." There. That sounded much more like Elliot.

"Summus Vestis." After a few failed attempts, the bag slowly began to shift and take the shape of a plain, purple t-shirt.

Silvia reached out to touch it and... it still felt like plastic. Sigh. With a "Reverto," it returned to its original state. At least she was seeing some improvement. She couldn't forget to think about the material when picturing her shirt.

Concentrating once more, Silvia traced a Z over the bag and said "Summus Vestis." Cotton, she thought, her eyes closed and focusing on the image in her head. When she opened her eyes, there was the purple shirt. And this time, when she touched it, it was not plastic; it was a soft cotton. "Yes!" She muttered under her breath. Then she casted another "Reverto" and proceeded to practice the spell a few more times.

Kurumi was too focused on her glowing trash bag at the moment to really notice what else was going on around her - which was probably not the smartest of things - hoping that this time she didn't melt the bag against the mannequin. Once was enough for all those fumes, yes? The glow was just beginning to fade when Professor Magnus called her name, causing the Gryffindor to jump with surprise and....

....what was with all the paint? o________O

Purple paint too...Nessie?

But, um, right, attention back on Professor Magnus for now, since the paint was all cleaned up and all. "I'm alright, professor," Kurumi said with a nod. "You know...just...um...getting my first time melting out of the way..." Literally this time since she had managed to actually BURN the item being transfigured this time.

Oh, right, the trash bag! Kurumi's head spun back around and she looked at it, silently crossing her fingers in her mind that everything was alright....AND IT WAS! There was nothing fancy about the shirt - unlike what others had seemingly managed to accomplish already - but it WAS a shirt. Just a simple black t-shirt and, judging from the texture of it, she had even manage to change the material into cotton. YAY!

He turned to the voice beside him-- oh hey it was a fellow Ravenclaw " Uhm thanks" he nodded back genuinely. At the mention of the other boy calling it a vest Vickers angled his head the other way "Well... I guess you're right, it does look like a vest." And he thought he it as a bizarre mutation of a melted garbage bag.

He held his hand out and intro'd himself "Hi, the name's Vickers..." he murmured to the other boy "Thats actually what I was hoping I'd get. " he said as he nudged his head at the t-shirt on the other mannequin.

Once he was satisfied with his practicing of the spell, Gideon figured he might as well try it for real this time around. He just had to picture some shirt or similar that he wanted his bag to turn into and focus on that first. Something house related or go a different approach, his gaze passing around the classroom. His classmates had certainly come up with an assortment of results, however he spotted Kurumi and company just as Professor Magnus brought them to their attention.

Something had definantly gone awry.

Oh well, it was time for his own attempt and Gideon had settled on something that fit him and his love for astronomy, yet still relatively simple for a first try. Working on imagining something that worked for a few moments, the Gryffidor lifted his wand once more. "Summus Vestis,"he cast moving his wand to trace the z on the bag but this time with the magic behind it. His focus was split between the spell and the image and it seemed to be working alright as the rubbish bag slowly morphed into a dark shirt, however plain with not much marking.

Not quite what he was looking for. Seems like he should try again.

"Reverto." he cast bringing it back to the original bag. Now he needed to focus a little bit better on what he he was imagining to have a better chance of getting it right this time around. Gideon closed his eyes for several minutes to gather his thoughts and control before opening them once more to try again. "Summus Vestis," he repeated the spell complete with the proper hand motion. This time around he was more successful.

Okay... Time to focus.

This would be Lily's first try at making a shirt, but since she practiced the parts separately, she should do it just fine, right? RIGHT?? Anyway, the redhead picked up her wand, closed her eyes for a moment so that she could focus and think of what she wanted, opened her eyes after she had attempted to focus, and pointed her wand at the mannequin. After a deep breath, the third year drew a z-shaped motion over the mannequin wearing the trashbag and said the incantation nice and loud. "Summus Vestis!!"

POW!!

After flinching at the loud sound, Lily opened her eyes to see that the trashbag was now a square of fabric, who knew what kind of fabric it was, floating down in front of the mannequin, flaming slightly. "Whoops....." said the third year, quickly turning her wand to the fabric. "Aguamente!" She cast, spraying the cloth which put out the flame. Then she tried to cast a finite but instead of stopping the stream of water, it didn't do anything, and Lily accidentally started spraying water at her mannequin, where it was deflected, straight at one of her classmates.

"Fin...i..te! Fin-ite! Stoppit! finite!" Lily said, trying to get the spray of water to stop, finally stopping it, but not after she had sprayed one of her peers with a whole bunch of water. Grumbling to herself, she frowned, staring at her right wrist that was still wrapped because it still wasn't healed. "If Louisa finds out about this... she won't be very happy..." She muttered, hoping nobody around would be able to distinguish what she was saying.

So... they were making clothes. Seemed like a fun class. And Jake was kinda excited. He'd get to wear the shirt he transfigured! Unless... he totally screwed it up and wouldn't want to be seen in public wearing it. Then that would be sad.

Once the students were set loose, Jake started muttering the incantation to himself as he thought about what he'd like his new shirt to look like. After a minute or so he turned to his mannequin. Biting his lip, he tapping his wand lightly on the desk.

Alright. So. Z formation. Summus Vestis. Jake nodded to himself. Moving his wand in a Z shape, he muttered "Summus Vestis." And...

Nothing.

Frown.

Glancing around, Jake saw some students already had a top on their mannequin. So he doubled his efforts. And after a few more tries he had a half-dressed mannequin wearing a nice jumper. And it was something he'd actually put on his body and go out in public in! That was definitely a plus.

Eliza smiled a little to herself when she heard that she had been close with her guess. “Close is better than completely wrong,” she thought to appease herself. “So we’re going to be making an outfit. Well that’s sort of neat.” Not being exceptionally fashionable by nature, she imagined she’d probably be making a lot of comfortable items. She didn’t really have any questions that she hadn’t heard other students ask already so she listened patiently and made sure to take notes on the answers they received. “I’m sure this will all be important later…” Her left hand was scribbling furiously to keep up with the pace of the lesson. “Okay, no metal. Got it.” She brushed her straight, thick hair from her eyes. “More complicated items equal better skill - that makes sense.”

Wow! She was amazed at how quickly the professor’s bag turned into that sweater! “That’s incredible!” she thought. “Gosh, now what on Earth do I want to make?” she wondered. Realizing she probably wouldn’t get a masterpiece on her first try, she decided to keep it simple.

She raised her wand at the mannequin and concentrated on the bag. “Okay, bag,” she thought “You’re going to turn into a shirt.” Trying to visualize further, she thought, “A shirt with a…cowl neck. Navy.” She planted her feet shoulder width apart and made a practice Z in the air. “Navy cowl neck shirt, navy cowl neck shirt, navy cowl neck shirt” she thought over and over.

“Summus Vestis!” she said with a flick of a Z in the air. Presto-chango! Her rubbish bag stretched out as its color darkened. She saw it spread across the mannequin, forming sleeves, making hems. The neck started to take shape and it was looking good until, “Oh no!” The neck kept on drooping, further and further until it almost reached the floor. “Well that’s a cowl neck if I’ve ever seen one,” she giggled to herself.

Now what was the spell to reverse and start over? She had never cast it before, so she started listening to other students until she thought she heard what it must be. “Reverto? That sounds like it would reverse something.” she thought. “Here goes nothing.”

“Reverto!” she said to her melty looking shirt. Instantly her shirt began to shrink back up again. It became de-saturated as the plastic bag had been and made a crinkling sound while it regained its original shape. “Well at least my spells are making something happen,” she thought cheerfully.

Only decent?

Uh uh. Lex wasn't buying that. The shirt she had transfigured looked really nice and she had seen that look that Elliot had right before she started acting like a total older kid and tried composing herself. *roll eyes* Some people just couldn't admit to seeing a good thing but she wouldn't get too upset about that because she had managed to get it right! Take that bag!

Yup, she was officially awesome like Elliot...right? They both got nice shirts and if Elliot was awesome for that then she wanted to be awesome toooo.

"I really like your shirt though--you wanna duplicate it so I can have one?" Yup, she asked because she wanted one and she was used to getting what she wanted.

For a while Lex couldn't stop smiling over at the shirt. It took a lot of frustration and patience but she had been able to make it what she wanted. BEAM--

What the?!

She heard a familiar voice shouting for something to stop. Flashing around quite suddenly she saw Lily panicking and a whole lot of water gushing.

O_______O

"Noooooo!!!" She cried, trying in vain to shield the mannequin with her small frame. Bloody thing was too tall. "Stop! What do you think you're doing--I worked on that!" She shouted indignantly, turning to see that her shirt was soaked. SCOWL.

Taking a deep breath she turned to the girl. "I hope you know a drying spell." She. Was. Not. Amused.

-_______-

Kurumi tugged on the shirt a bit to test its durability when...

*SLAAAAAAASH*

Bangs stuck to her forehead and somewhat blinded by her black hair, Kurumi turned around to try and see just what was going on when she heard the familiar voice of a certain first year Gryffindor. Pushing her bangs to the side, Kurumi looked at the pair, blinking for a few moments before removing her wand.

"Um...if you both hold still for a moment I can cast a charm on the both of you to dry you off..." she offered.

She turned to the Ravenclaw girl for a moment and offered her a small smile. "My trash bag caught on fire too," she said with a small wink. "And the spell is Aguamenti...which is probably why it went a bit...um...crazy just now." Saying the incantation wrong and all that.

"Reverto!" Emmanuelle casted, aiming her wand at the trash bag. 'Cause obviously, she didn't want to wear a green trash bag. Eww. So, once the bag returned to normal, she took a deep breath to prepare herself to try again. Okay, now imagine the shirt again. Once the image was in her mind, Em took aim and cast the spell again. "Summus Vestis!" It seemed that when she went to cast, though, she was so focused on getting right, she had closed her eyes. Hopefully that wouldn't affect the spell too much. Opening her eyes, Em saw that it, in fact, had not. Other than being a little more snug fitting than she'd hoped for, the t-shirt was exactly how she pictured it. Yay!

Elliot was too busy marveling at her really pretty shirt...when...SQUIIIIIIRT! Water was sprayed at her! She dodged it, and then realized..oops...it was all over Alexa AND her poor shirt...Elliot rounded on the girl. "Hey! What's the matter with you! You can't just go spraying people with water!" she cried, remembering this girl from the common room last year...throwing candy everywhere...she was trouble!

Elliot whipped out her wand, to help dry it...when Alexa asked for...a duplicate of her shirt. She flashed a smirk at her...forgetting about drying poor Alexa's shirt for a minute..."Sure! I just need to find another bag..." she glanced at Professor's Magnus' desk...she didn't see any...but maybe she could find one....

But then she saw the look on Alexa's face...her mouth twitched into a smirk...but she eyed the Ravenclaw girl ferociously. YEs. RAAAWWRRR!



Elliot whipped around on her, her wand sparking a bit...oops. "Well, you see, I was just about to do that, thanks very much, St. Kurumi..." she said, a little grouchily...

*Grumblegrumble*

BUT HUMMMMPPPHHH! Elliot totally had this. Because she sooo knew the drying spell perfectly and all...yep...she was a Ravenclaw so she knew everything...

Uh huh.

Riiiiight.

Sigh. It was time to try again, especially since it appeared several much younger students were accomplishing rather complicated clothing items with apparent ease. Double sigh. Vivi cast a Reverto to un-ugly-shirt her rubbish bag so that it once again looked more like a... rubbish bag.

And again. Vivi stared hard at the rubbing bag, trying to focus on exactly what she wanted to transfigure. White, fitted t-shirt, with collar, made of cotton and not plastic. White. T-shirt. Cotton. NOT PLASTIC. Whitetshirtcottonnotplastic.

She drew the Z with her wand, eyes still squinted at the mannequin. "Summus Vestis." The bag puckered in around the top and sides first, white color spreading out as the plastic took on a cotton texture. When it was finished changing, the t-shirt was... white. Cotton. Definitely not plastic. Not really fitted as much as she'd like it - better for a nightshirt than for everyday wear, but certainly better than her first attempt.

Sophie was practicing the incantation for a while, as she thought that spell would be difficult for some reason. Though she had done alright last term, transfiguring those hat thingies. Maybe this one wouldn't be that difficult after all...

"Summus Vesties. Vestis. Summus Vestis." The third year kept repeating, without pulling out her wand. "Summus Vestis." Sounded right. When she was about to get her wand, a LOT happened. She watched as all the purple commotion went on and then the whole water thing. Sophie pursed her lips when she noticed Elliot in the water problem. Hmph.

The brunette rolled her eyes and turned away from those people, finally taking out her wand and practicing the Z shape movement a couple of times. Sharp zig zag. simple enough! Her wand even made a low noise when Sophie did the motion a bit faster. Teehee!

Taking a deep breath, she faced her mannequin. She had NO idea about what shirt she wanted. Maybe she could start with the simplest thing there was. Maybe a regular t-shirt? "Summus Ventis!" LFKSNDKFLSD NO! That wasn't it! "Finite!" Sophie quickly said, lowering her wand before ANYTHING happened. fdsjknkljsfnk Her heart was racing and her eyes were WIDE. They didn't need any more fire, water, paint or ANYTHING in the classroom.

"Summus Vestis." She said again, with her wand down. Blink blink. Sophie bit her lip before raising her wand again. Concentratioooooooooooooooonnnnn!! "Summus Vestis." Sharp zig zag motion!

What in the world. Sophie eyed the t-shirt that was now where the rubbish bag was before. Maybe she was too worried about... her surroundings... and completely forgot to not think about a hobo t-shirt? What? That didn't make any sense! Whyyyy was her shirt all ripped??

Oh look, it looked like a face!

Meh. "Reverto."

Anya did NOT want to do this. At all. The creepy mannequin was creepy. And she didn't want to have to look at it. But she was going to HAVE to do this assignment.

SIGH!

She covered her eyes with one hand and aimed her wand at the rubbish bag. She took a quick peek between her fingers to make sure she was aiming at the correct place.

Now. What was that spell again? Someeeee kind of vest? Summus Vestis?

That sounded right.

She moved her wand in the z-shape while saying "Sum-mus Vest-is!"

She slowly uncovered her eyes.

Great.

Now her mannequin looked even creepier in an overgrown lime green rubbish bag.

How did that even happen anyway? ...she wasn't even thinking of the color green.

She sighed and gave a quick "Reverto." Time to try again.

Landon Hughes listened to the Professor as she explained what they would actually be doing. Oh right. Making clothes for their mannequin, because that was normal. He shook his head at some of the kids who were on their way to making their shirts and he cleared his throat, now facing his mannequin.

Okay. This would be easy. Just a Z formation and saying the words 'Summus Vestis'. Here we go....

"Summus Vestis." Landon said, moving his wand in the manner that he was supposed to as he pointed it at the rubbish bag on the mannequin.

Nothing happened.

He frowned at the mannequin and wanted to give up. He looked around and blushed as he saw that some of the younger students had gotten it on the first try. This was just horrible, he couldn't be embarassed and humiliated by not being able to do something a second year could do. Nonononono.

The fourteen-year-old watched the kid next to him do it and he finally understood what he did wrong. He had made an 'S' formation with his wand instead of a 'Z'. Duh. He chuckled to himself and pointed his wand at the rubbish bag on the mannequin once again. "Summus Vestis." He said, moving his wand in the zig-zag formation. Right before his eyes, he watched as the rubbish bag transformed into a t-shirt with oreos on it. His eyes widened and he literally screamed out loud.

"Sorry. I'm really sorry!" He said, covering his mouth then raising his hand for the Professor to come over. Taking his hand off his mouth he said, "Can I keep this shirt? Please, pretty please? Pleaseeeeeeee?!?" Yes, because this shirt was amazing and oreos were the BEST.
