The classroom is looking a little bigger than usual. That's so it can accommodate some extra items. Yes - you notice the chairs, desks, Professor and usual paraphernalia are not the only thing waiting for you upon entry. Stood next to each desk is a mannequin, with a name plate hung around it's neck and wearing a rubbish bag as if it were a shirt.
Professor Magnus is leaning against her desk waiting to welcome you in. Say hello, sit down, and feel free to write your name on the space provided.
CLASS HAS STARTED: Please do not announce your late arrival!
And cue more commotion. At least classes were never boring because of it. This time Silvia chose to try and ignore it and concentrate instead on the mannequin before her.
Now that she knew she could perform the spell, it was time to transfigure something a bit nicer than just a t-shirt. Silvia wasn't very fashion conscious, so nothing came to her right away. But after a few moments of thought, she pointed her wand at the bag on the mannequin, and said "Summus Vestis," while tracing out the Z.
It took her several attempts to get exactly what she wanted, but soon she had a simple but nice purple cardigan. Not bad, she thought. She would stop there for the moment; she didn’t want to practice more and take the chance of not being able to get the shirt back to the way she wanted it.

Blocking everything from his in, Jory pictured the sweater. Sure that he was ready, he lifted his wand once again in front of the bag.
He made the Z shape and then said the incantation. ''Summus Vestis!'’ This time he got a better job done. But not what he was looking for. It was striped, all right. But one sleeve was longer than the other.
The badger turned the fabric back into the plastic bag and tried again. ''Summus Vestis!’’ he said and made the wand movement.
This time, there on the mannequin, was the sweater just as Jory had pictured it.
Once the plastic rubbish bag was there again, Sophie took a moment to think about what other kind of shirt she could try this time. She still wanted to practice simple stuff, so nothing too fancy. BUT she knew she had a hang on colourful things, so maybe she could improve the colour part of the shirt.
Maybe a simple t-shirt, but really, reeeally colourful? Eeeeeeeee! Sounded nice!
Summus Vestis. She mouthed the words again before trying out the spell once more. Z motion... Concentration! "Summus Vestis!" She said out loud, making the sharp zig zag motion with her wand while pointing it at the rubbish bag. She was focusing on the colours mostly, so when this really funky shirt appeared, Sophie frowned slightly and giggled. Noooooo! "Reverto."
That was not what she wanteeeed! Though Sophie knew she wouldn't be able to get exactly what she wanted on the first day trying the spell. She was actually quite proud of her accomplishment so far. But well, she could give it another go, right?
"Summus Vestis!" The brunette said one more time, with the Z motion towards the rubbish bag. The black plastic started moving by itself, shortening a big and growing some sort of sleeves on the sides, and a few seconds later, another colourful t-shirt was right in front of Sophie.
Whooooooooooooa! This one looked cool! It was so... hippie or something! Heh! So cooolourfuul!! "Niice colours!" She turned to professor Romanos. "Professor, by any chance... will the shirts go back to being rubbish bags after a while or will they be shirts forever?" Because some Transfiguration spells were only temporary, no? Or... were they? Sophie eyed the colooourful shirt again while she pondered about the fact.

Uh huh.
Riiiiight.

Kurumi's hands instantly went up in the air in a somewhat defensive stance. No need for a sparky wand there....
We come in peace?
Kurumi instantly recognized the girl as the grumpy Ravenclaw from last term's Transfiguration lesson and the one who seemed to be taking over for Ellie's dagger eyes absence. Honestly, WHY was it always Ravenclaws who seemed to like to glare or exchange harsh words with the Gryffindor? Not that Kurumi ever really said harsh things back, she usually just took whatever it was they were saying and let the words stab her.
Kurumi opened her mouth to apologize, seeing as she hadn't known that Elliot was going to dry people off, but the nickname stopped all speech from escaping. St. Kurumi? Uuuuuuh....
"I'm no saint..." Kurumi muttered, turning back to her own mannequin and casting a silent Reverto on her t-shirt to return it to its trash bag form before applying the Drying Charm to her own robes.

This time, Elise made sure she knew what she wanted, instead of simply reciting the incantation and performing the wand movement. If that was the case, anyone could do it. So, this time, she visualized a simple black t-shirt. The same colour as her garbage bag, just so that it was a bit easier.
"Summus Vestis," she said, zig-zagging her wand again. Right, left, right. Closing her eyes, she hoped it worked. Cracking her eye open, she smiled. It had worked. The bag had stretched and changed to what seemed to be cotton and fit closely to the mannequin.
"Reverto." Maybe this time she'd try something a bit more complex.

Olivia didn't bother to draw out her outfit on paper before she cast the spell, she had it pictured in her head. She chose a manequin and concentrated on visualizing the outfit. "Summus Vestis" she said, and waved her wand in a Z shape. the garbage bag turned into a beige fabric sack.
Embarrassed, Olivia blushed and quickley revesed her work "Reverto!" she said. She tried the Z movement again "Summus Vestis!". No, it did not turn into a vest; but the top turned into a beautiful beige wrap and the bottom bacame yoga pants.
She would wait a bit, for any further instruction and then try something more complex like a grad dress maybe?
Elijah had known it as soon as he'd seen his mannequin. He didn't bother offering an answer, of course, since so many of his classmates had already guessed correctly and Elijah just wasn't generally in the habit of giving answers out anyway.
He was, however, torn by this lesson because:
1] He LOVED clothes. Clothes were a way of expression (and a way to spend a buttload of money) and were also a nice way to help make you look even more attractive (not that he needed much help, anyway, being such a stud).
2] BUT, clothes were not something he made. He had people who did that for him. Or house elves. Why on Earth would he have to waste his time sweating over learning this spell when, in a click of his fingers/, he would have plenty of people/creatures willing to do the dirty work for him
3] Even if he DID make it, would he want to proudly walk around the place wearing a t-shirt he had created from a BINBAG!? Talk about unclassy. It might explain why Magnus looked so cheap. Perhaps ALL her clothes were made from binbags.
HMPH.
He supposed he could at least tryyyyyyy. Although considering the horrific paint mess that had occurred, it didn't seem as if this spell would be easy... He decided to start off getting the pronunciation of the spell and the wand movement down first, "Summit Vesteees, or something," z shape, z shape, "Sunnes vustis," z shape z shape, "Summen Festis," z shape z shape.
SNORE. SNORE. SNORE.

Nigel was still pretty sure they could do cpr even though the mannequins were with heads. They would only have to skip the mouth to mouth part. Professor Magnus had a much better idea though even if he could not do the spell.
He would have to pronounce the word first. Which was the hardest part for Nigel. "Summer Vests" Nigel said making the Z motion. But nothing happened. He knew it sounded like Summer Vests. But that was not it. It did not hurt to take a chance though.
Okay, Nigel thought. He could do this. At Least he knew he had to make a z motion with his wand in front of whatever the bag thing is.
"Sudden Feats", "Submarine Feasts". Nigel was sure those were wrong and hoped he was getting closer. He knew it was at really english words. Then he suddenly got it. He was actually closer than he thought.
"Summus Vestis!" Nigel said with the z motion, aiming at the rag. He was really shocked that it started to change into the black shirt. Well at least it work even though it was not what he was thinking. "Reverto" Nigel guessed he needed more practice before he could turn it into a batman t shirt.

Ok they were going to transfigure them some clothes. That was pretty cool actually. For once Hannah was bored or irritated with the lesson. She listened and watched as the professor said the incantation and showed them the wand movement. It all seemed easy enough, but she knew that it wouldn't be.
Practice makes perfect right? She started with the incantation. Summus Vestis she thought to herself. "Sum-mus Vest-is" that didn't sound excatly like the professor said it though. Maybe she just didn't say it strond enough? "Sum-mus Vest-is!" Ok... sounding better. "Summus Vestis!" Oh yeah! That was perfect she thought.
Grabbing her wand she decided to practice the wand movement a bit. She traced a letter Z in the air. She tried it once more quicker this time and was happy with the results. She was ready to give it a shot!
Annabelle wanted to try and get it right the third time. She wanted to practice this spell and she found it kind of fun. Belle saw Ethan looked at her and smiled at him. He seemed like he needed some help. "Ethan do you need some help with the spell?" Belle asked and she made her way to his seat.
After she asked, she went back to her seat and tried to think of another sweater to put on her mannequin. She tried to do some house pride.."Summus Vestis!" Belle said with the Z formation but it didn't work. "Hmm maybe that is too advanced." Belle thought to herself. "I will go with something simple." Belle decided on. She pictured a light blue cardigan she loved back home. When she had the clear picture, she said "Summus Vestis!" out loud with a Z formation wand movement and POP it appeared. Belle smiled and was glad she got the hang of it really well. She copied down the spell to her notebook.
SPOILER!!: Annabelle's Notes
Spell: Summus Vestis
Use: To turn an object into a sweater.
Messer looked around the classroom and found that most of his classmate had been successfully changed their rubbish bag into nice top for their mannequin while he still struggling. His attempts so far were ended with a ragged cloth and one sleeve shirt.
Frown.
"Come on rubbish bag work with me here." Lat's give it another shoot. "Summus Vestis!" he made zig-zag movement with his wand. To his delight his rubbish bag turned into a plain white shirt this time it has two sleeves. He did it! He actually did it!
"Reverto!" and the shirt changed back into its actual shape, rubbish bag.
The third year decided to test the spell once again to see that he actually can do the spell right. "Summus Vestis!" followed with a Z shape movement with his wand and this time he managed turning the rubbish bag into a pink jumper.
o________O
He didn't intend to make it pink. "Oh well, Alice will be so proud of me if she see this." At least the jumper was lace free.

West, not knowing the reversing spell, just pretended to keep doing the transfiguration spell as if it had taken him a billion times like everyone else. And of course, what if he got it changed back and couldn't do it again? He was fine with the plain white tee shirt, thanks very much.
lalala. Don't mind us.

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.

Ethan leaned over, grasped Vickers' outstretched hand, and gave it a firm shake."Hi... I'm Ethan," he greeted the other boy in return. "I guess you have some epic fashion sense you didn't realize you had," he added with a grin when it became clear that Vickers hadn't really intended a fashion-forward vest for his mannequin. Ethan still thought it looked pretty cool even if it wasn't the hoped-for outcome.
The fifth year followed the older boy's gaze to his own mannequin shirt and he put his hand under the threadbare fabric, easily able to see through it to his hand. "I was hoping for a little more... substance," he admitted, slightly disappointed. "Something of a tricky spell," he murmured, again wondering if what he had was good enough. Why did it seem so much easier for some of the other students (and younger ones at that) to be able to conjure up such intricate designs while he had trouble with a basic white t-shirt.
He looked up at Belle as she approached his desk. Did he need help? Although he'd admit that was sweet of her to offer, Ethan was a bit reluctant to accept assistance. He didn't want to look completely hopeless. He was a fifth year, after all, not a first year. "No... thanks though," he said, managing a grateful smile. "I think I got it now," Ethan added, gesturing to the shirt (albeit threadbare, but it was still a shirt!) on his mannequin. "Maybe just a little more practice." He decided on starting again.
"Reverto."

Ugh all the Chaos! What to do? OH HEY LOOK IT'S ELIJAH!
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
This wasn't to different from what Granny Gunter taught him to with just swapping clothes around.
Except he'd be transfiguring objects into new clothes. Okay Oakey, it's gonna be a piece of Kurumi Cake!
He removed his reliable, but very wild new wand and pointed it at the trash bag around the mannequin.
before actually casting it the first time Oakey just moved his wand in the shape of a Z until he felt comfortable enough to cast it. he even lowered his wand once and practiced the incantation until he figured he could say it right. "Samus Vertis, Seamus Vertis, Sumo Vertis, Summus Vertis."
That last one sounded just about right?
lifting his wand up once more he cast the spell moving his wand in the Z shape. "Summus Vertis!"
Gah! There was a bit of a kickback again and the spell completely missed the trash bag instead it went right in the direction of Dodo brain Elijah.

Theodore stared at the dangling piece of ribbon on his mannequin. Did he get another try? Could he have another bag? Or should he just say the spell again and hope for the best?
...
Unable to decide, he realized that help was needed. He was about to ask Kurumi for some, because she proved herself in the spell department before, but she looked kinda... busy. Hmm...... Eavesdropping would help, he decided. He needed to find out this reversing spell that they were apparently supposed to know without being taught. SIGH. Sophie looked like she was doing well, as always, so he listened.
Roberto? Is THAT what she said? Well, okay...
"Roberto." He pointed his wand to the ribbon, with his eyes shut. And instead of reversing itself, the ribbon dissolved away into nothingness. Theo made a very loud noise of anger, and then marched over to the professor.
"Professor, I need another rubbish bag, please." UGH, HE HATED MAGIC.

So Hannah was totally thinking that she needed something green for Slytherin of course with a tad bit of sparkle. She imagined a long sleeve green flowy shirt that fell off her right shoulder a bit with some sparkly sequins. Yes, that look would be dashing on her...would really bring out her piercing green eyes more. Although, that really wasn't the point.
Bringing her attention back to the mannequin and the rubbish sack she decided to give it a go. She shouted "Summus Vertis!" while she made a Z shape with her wand. Nothing. Really? I mean sure she didn't really expect it to work perfectly the first time, but nothing? That was a bit disappointing. She threw her shoulders back and set up straight...she was going to get it this time for sure.
Ahem. "Summus Vertis!!!" with a follow up Z shape with her wand. This time she managed to get the rummage sack to quiver, but nothing at all happened. UGH!!! She was starting to get frustrated. Hannah Lockwood did not have problems with spellwork!
Theodore stared at the dangling piece of ribbon on his mannequin. Did he get another try? Could he have another bag? Or should he just say the spell again and hope for the best?

Sophie was happy with her colourful t-shirt already. She didn't want to try again because she might mess up and end up getting another ripped shirt... and she didn't want that!
Before she could think of anything else to do, she heard Theodore saying Roberto, pointing his wand at his own mannequin thing. What?? What was he trying to do?? Sophie suppressed a giggle and looked at him curiously. Now his mannequin had nothing on it. "Theodore, what-" But he was already marching towards professor Magnus.
Hahahahahaha! Oh Merlin... that was funny!

Looking at the other still practising the new spell, Alyssa decided that she would change her sweater back into a plastic bag and try for some other design this time. Pointing her wand at her sweater she said, "REVERTO" changing it back into the plastic bag. Now for her new design.
She thought for awhile and finally decided that a nice waistcoat would be nice. Something that she could wear with her denim jeans. So Alyssa closed her eyes and first imagined what the waistcoat would look like.
It would be made of denim and have buttons that she could button up and there would be a strip of plaid material around the waistband. Nodding her head in approval, Alyssa opened her eyes and first made sure that she remembered what the incantion was. 'SUMMUS VESTIS' she thought to herself. Unholstering her wand, she pointed it at the plastic bag and tracing the letter Z in front of it, she said, "SUMMUS VES....VES...VES....CHOO" and sneezed. A beam of light shot from her wand and hit the plastic bag.
It began to transform. Into what Alyssa didn't know because she knew that she had not said the proper incantation, The plastic bag began to shrink and then expand....shrink and then expand and expand and expand. 'The bag is going to explode' Alyssa thought to herself and quickly pointed her wand at it and said "FINITE" and then quickly "REVERTO" hoping to end the spell and change her mistake back into a plastic bag.
Two beams of light shot out from her wand and hit the object, and when it disappeared, Alyssa was glad to see that the object had stopped expanding and back in it's place was the plastic bag.
'Whew! now that was a close call.' Alyssa thought to herself, walking over to examine the plastic bag to make sure that it wasn't damaged.

Yeah he was working so hard over here. Casting spells and all. Or really, pretending like he was. West still wasn't entirely sure if he'd made this tee shirt happen in the first place or if someone else had transfigured it while he had his wand pointed and all. And now he was stuck with it. So whatever.
At least he looked GOOD when he pointed his wand. Like he had all the poses down. Sort of a cross between Gilderoy Lockhart and Maximus Vindictus without all that obnoxious Ravenclawing to get in the way. He tried for an intent look-it-how-focused-I-am expression to match all this pointing and z-shaping and whatnot.
But what he was really thinking about...
...really REALLY thinking about...
... was if you could turn ducks or apples into clothing. There were definitely both available in the Slytherin common room, thanks to Daichi and Gary.

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.
"See? That's what I meant. You got there!" Isabelle walked over to the young Gryffindor and appraised her new top. It was...it was...quite short, wasn't it? Or maybe that was just old age and liking longer things. "Very nice."

....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!
OOC: lolol, no. My brain just lumped you all together. xD
Melting. Yes. Kurumi did seem to do that a lot. And with the smoke that had now cleared, it was fair to say melting wasn't the only thing it had done. "Right, good. Just checking, what with the smoke and....window opening." Isabelle patted the girl on the back before moving on. No excessive damage done.

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.
Hand in the air. Must be for her.
Isabelle walked briskly over to the boy and clasped her hands in front of her as she looked at his shirt, before looking at him and listening to his question. "Well, my plan is for you all to complete something you wish to keep as part of your homework, but I guess so. I'll get some more bags from storage and leave them on my desk. You're welcome to take one."

Sophie eyed the colooourful shirt again while she pondered about the fact.
OOC: Romanos?! hehe
That was actually a good question.
"In theory it should last, it's a spell that's supposed to. But it does all depend on how strong your spell work is really. There will be fading over time, but it should stay as whatever you turn it into," Isabelle smiled in acknowledgement of a good question.

He decided to start off getting the pronunciation of the spell and the wand movement down first, "Summit Vesteees, or something," z shape, z shape, "Sunnes vustis," z shape z shape, "Summen Festis," z shape z shape.
SNORE. SNORE. SNORE.
Well this one didn't even look as if he was trying.
"Summus Vestis, I think you'll find is the incantation, Mister Wilde. Why don't you give that a go and see what you get?" Isabelle stood, arms crossed and eyebrows raised as she waited for him to attempt it with her there.

lalala. Don't mind us.
*pretends to cast spells*
"How are you doing, West?" Isabelle was wandering around the room, checking up on people. Making sure they weren't setting fire to anything else. Anyway, the young Slytherin didn't appear to have lit a fire, but he did have a nice t-shirt.

Unable to decide, he realized that help was needed. He was about to ask Kurumi for some, because she proved herself in the spell department before, but she looked kinda... busy. Hmm...... Eavesdropping would help, he decided. He needed to find out this reversing spell that they were apparently supposed to know without being taught. SIGH. Sophie looked like she was doing well, as always, so he listened.
Roberto? Is THAT what she said? Well, okay...
"Roberto." He pointed his wand to the ribbon, with his eyes shut. And instead of reversing itself, the ribbon dissolved away into nothingness. Theo made a very loud noise of anger, and then marched over to the professor.
"Professor, I need another rubbish bag, please." UGH, HE HATED MAGIC.
Having done one round of checks on them, Isabelle left the kids to it for a second while she went into her storage room for a small pile of fresh bags. Just in case any of the others wanted a new one. Sometimes melting was irreversible, and sometimes they just might want more than one. She waved over at the boy who had originally asked her, and pointed to her desk so he knew they were there, before turning to see a disgruntled child stood behind her.
"Right here," she gestured to her desk and smiled. "What happened to the other one?" Or did she not want to know?
Laura looked at her work and decided that it wasn't right. "Reverto." Laura hoped that the next one would look good, she looked at the bin bag and then thought about what type of shirt she would want. "Summus Vertis." Laura did th Z movemen on her wand and then she looked at the sunflower top she had just made, she hoped that it was okay, if only she knew where her friends where, so she could see what they thought of her top.
HAHAHA! Sorry, replied to both classes at the same time xD

"In theory it should last, it's a spell that's supposed to. But it does all depend on how strong your spell work is really. There will be fading over time, but it should stay as whatever you turn it into," Isabelle smiled in acknowledgement of a good question.
Sophie smiled and nodded at professor MAGNUS when she answered her question. Right, so she would have to practice the spell a looot in order to make it last for a longer time. It was not her intention to be a fashion designer, but well, she wanted to master as many spells as possible!
She was going to be the Charms Queen after all! Yaaaay!
Giiiiggggle! Sophie would wait for Theodore to come back to his desk/mannequin and offer help. She didn't want to change her colourful shirt anyway, so maybe she could help him. Roberto... eeeehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!!!

Frustrated, Hannah glared at her mannequin as if it was its fault that things weren't working out for her. Which maybe it was because frankly Hannah was good at everything. She was actually starting to get a bit mad.
With gritted teeth she said "Summus Vertis!" and her Z formation with her wand. She closed her eyes in the middle of it and when she opened them she seen that her shirt was yellow with flowers all over it. GROSS!!!! How embarrassing. It looked like something a Hufflepuff would wear. Maybe she should gift it to Soapy! HA!

"It grew some legs and wandered off." Theo said very simply. He wasn't exactly lying, just... telling stories. Truth was, it disappeared before his eyes so it very well COULD have wandered off.
Anyway... another bag. Theo picked one off the desk and returned to his mannequin. Okay, he could do this. "Summus Vestis." He said it out loud first, just to get the incantation down. Now it was time for the wand movement.
Z... Z... Z... Z.
Got it.
...
Theo wrapped the bag around the mannequin, pointed his wand at it aaand... "Summus Vestis." It... WORKED? Kind of. It was a very ugly t-shirt. And it even had a hole at the bottom. EH, it was okay.
He didn't want to keep it, though.

"Sophie, look!" Theo beamed over at his friend, showing off his t-shirt! "I actually did it." He had actually performed magic correctly. This caused for celebration. A chocolate frog, to be precise.
"Oh, by the way.... I think you have the reversing spell wrong, Soph."
Just to point out.

Kurumi's hands instantly went up in the air in a somewhat defensive stance. No need for a sparky wand there....
We come in peace?
Kurumi instantly recognized the girl as the grumpy Ravenclaw from last term's Transfiguration lesson and the one who seemed to be taking over for Ellie's dagger eyes absence. Honestly, WHY was it always Ravenclaws who seemed to like to glare or exchange harsh words with the Gryffindor? Not that Kurumi ever really said harsh things back, she usually just took whatever it was they were saying and let the words stab her.
Kurumi opened her mouth to apologize, seeing as she hadn't known that Elliot was going to dry people off, but the nickname stopped all speech from escaping. St. Kurumi? Uuuuuuh....
"I'm no saint..." Kurumi muttered, turning back to her own mannequin and casting a silent Reverto on her t-shirt to return it to its trash bag form before applying the Drying Charm to her own robes.
Elliot eyed...Kurumi...who was being all humble.
*Grumble*
Elliot swished her wand, and dried the clothes, and she hoped Alexa was VERY GRATEFUL for it, too. IT just took soooo much effort...
"See, I had it completely under control." She said to the Gryffindor Prefect..HMPHHHH!
There. Elliot was competent.

"Reverto!" That was just not going to cut it!
Elliot then turned to see her friend struggling...she smirked..."Having trouble?" she asked smugly. She had finished her shirt...she wanted another garbage bag, though, to keep practicing. She just wanted to keep the shirt she currently had....
