Tying a tight enough knot she smiled in satisfaction then hopped up again. Back to the classroom of awkwardness. Haaaiii awkward people staring.

She stood staring for a moment before she remembered that she was supposed to be modelling--or well...some deviation of that as the case seemed to be. Step. Step. Step. Probably time to talk about the shorts...

"And I made this shorts 'cause...well 'cause honestly you can't do anything in a skirt! Have you ever tried climbing in a skirt? Not. Good. Now you see with a shorts I can do cartwheels and run free and not worry about much stuff." Nod. Shorts were the best. They allowed for great freedom and flexibility without the frowns from old people. Meh. Old people.

"I mean at one point I was gonna make a skirt but then I thought about it and realized just how much it wouldn't work." She had a knack for rambling when she was nervous and she still had a bit of runway to go before she could hop off--she could just hop off right? She didn't have to go back up and pass those mannequins...right?

Though she didn't know why she was worrying. Whether she was allowed to or not she was gonna hop off and get to a safe place.

When it was Kat's turn, the blonde went on the platform. Uhmm, how was she supposed to walk on a runway? Though she knew she had to do this... walk. What walk did those Muggles call it? Oh right, the Katwalk. It was Kat's walk. Kat then started to show her stuff on the runway. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot. Yep, that's how you strut it. Then... pose. Kat placed her hand on her waist. She was actually posing. There's gotta be a reason why this was a runway... to model? Guess so.

"Hello, everyone," she started. Gosh, she was getting nervous but she tried to cleanse off all the anxiety from her system. She did not want to look like a fool in front of everyone. "My outfit clearly shows my pride for Slytherin, my House. I guess all we need is to be united as one." It means to say that if people want to be united, they must be proud or happy to be part of what they want. Like taking pride of being a Slytherin.

She loved Slytherin. That's all, thank you. After her little appearance, Kat went off the platform and went to change back to her uniform.

Her red hair moving along, Renesmee shook her head at Pao, confirming to him that you don't loose your abilities just like that. "Yeah, that's alright. Just as long as you don't cast any real magic." That wasn't allowed till you were of age, but Pao obviously knew that. Come to think of age, at the end of this year Nessie would be exactly that. She would turn seventeen a while after she began her sixth year. It was a scary thought, but she still had time and she didn't want to think about being legal just yet.

Oh! Right she was supposed to ask Magnus if they were allowed to go in pairs. A little too late though wasn't it? Nessie debated on whether moving from her spot to ask the Professor or not, but before she could make up her mind Pao seemed to have agreed to go first.

Alright then, no problem with Nessie. She did seem to notice he was looking at Kurumi a little oddly though and it made her wonder about certain things. She didn't utter a word about it though, instead she giggled and watched him as he went.

Go Pao! ....Okay she wasn't going to shout it allowed, but it's the thought that counts right?

------

When it was her turn, Ness took her mannequin and headed across the runway. She could do this walking, even if it was on a platform. It wasn't like she had to properly model anything.

Now how to begin this. "Erm..." That was probably not the best way to start her presentation. " So I made the shirt purple, because that's my favorite colour and the R stands for my name, I also added the R to make it a little more challenging to create." So first bit done, now onto the skirt. "The skirt is made out of lace, which was real difficult to make, but after lots of practice I managed to accomplish it." Lastly the shoes she pointed at them on the mannequin. "As for the shoes, I wanted something comfortable yet fancy, so I attempted at making these." She could go now yeah?

The red head walked back and then went of the stage hoping her results were good.

Sarah stepped out from behind the screen and looked at the sea of faces before her. She had frankly no clue what to do. She had seen some girls go before her though so she knew that she had to walk down the aisle thing-magigy looking all confident and smiley. The girls had waved their cabooses as they walked down too - an idea that did not quite appeal to Sarah who. She was not scared though of appearing before so many people yet she was clueless as was to do at a fashion show.
She walked tall, with good posture and soon reached the end where she curtsied. Well she thought one was meant to. She then began to explain her outfit.
"I chose the colour red as I am a proud lion!" she said. "The pattern is akin to tartan - paying homage to Hogwart's Scottish roots.The Gold buttons on the red are also the lion colours". She looked at her skirt and the top part of her outfit. Yes - it was not bad.

Minerva clapped and smiled at all her classmates that were showing off there outfits. She started noticing other students talking about their outfits. Should she have done that... Well there wasn't much to explain really. It was just a top with stars and a regular jean skirt, then the shoes well she didn't mean to make them sneaker heels, but she thought they were cute and kept them.

Hoping she did alright she turned her focus on the runway again. This was so fun, smiling she looked at Ethan and leaned over, "When are you going up to strut your stuff?" She winked at him and sat back up turning back to the rest of the class that was up doing the runway.

This whole designing thing really interested Cassia this term. This summer she would gladly go home and brag about how she could transfigure a whole outfit. Well, she only has her brother to brag too but that is fine. As she listened Professor Magnus telling them about how they were going to do shoes today, Cassia's smile widened. Sure it'd be awesome to make matching shoes for her outfit. And luckily the incantation wasn't hard. And even if it were Cassia would keep practicing until she had gotten it.

The Slytherin stood and reached for her wand. "Pedestis," She uttered not moving her wand yet. She was so eager to preform that she wanted to make this practicing thing fast. She thought that the movement was easy enough so no need t practice it. Honestly she does this tapping all the time. But the question was what did she want the shoes to look like? She mused at her mannequin with the green outfit on. The outfit was for summer so she decided that flats would be cool and simple. And she wasn't going to push it with the textures. She was just going to focus on the color to make it match the outfit's color.

She listened to what other students were asking and noticed that most of them were already done. She reached for a cardboard and placed it on the floor before stepping on it. She imagined the flats on her mind then she with a tap of her wand she said,"Pedestis." And on cue the cardboard started enclosing on her feet and green flats appeared. Cassia's mouth hadn't stretched in a wide grin since she found out she had gotten taller a couple of centimeters. Succeeding from the first time! Wow she was getting the hang of this. She hoped she was there when the students learnt how to do hats. She made a mental note to ask an older student because a matching hat would be so cool with this outfit.

Modeling? Cassia blinked at that. She heard that muggles did such things but she didn't know much about it. So she stood back and watched what were student were doing. She was a good copy cat.

Now that she had her mannequin she took off the top and bottoms that she had made and collected her shoes. Everything in tow she walked over to the changing area. She quickly changed into everything. She was actually starting to get a bit nervous. She knew that she looked awesome, but she really wasn't looking forward to talking in front of everybody. She took a few moments to collect herself. Once she felt like she was not going to throw up she walked out and waited her turn. She watched as another Slytherin girl said that she made her outfit based on the house of Slytherin. Huh! It looked like she wasn't the only one who was proud of her house. Not that you could blame them or anything.

Now that it was finally her turn she walked over to the catwalk. The whole time she was walking she could feel her heart beat like it was in her throat. There was nothing to be worried about she keep telling herself. She knew that she looked amazing. She took a shaky first step on the catwalk. She took a deep breath and tried not to think about what she was doing because she wanted to won it. She would not show weakness. Hannah Lockwood was not weak. She may be a lot of other things, but weak was not one of them.

She starting struting down the catwalk like she had done this whole whole life. "I chose a green shirt for Slytherin." Because being a snake was the best... obviously. "I added silver sequins because I think that they are pretty." Silver could go with being a snake too which honeslty helped her in making the decision. "I made a black pencil skirt because it is lady like and simple." It went well with the shirt as well. She had made it all the way to the end of the cat walk at this point so she did a couple of turns and poses so everybody could get a good look at her masterpiece. Then she started back the way that she had came. "The shoes on my feet are black with a 2in heel because they went with the outfit and every girl needs a nice pair of heels." Yup! She knew that she looked good. She did one more pose and walked off the catwalk to give somebody else a turn. She felt bad for the person who went after her because she would be hard to top.

Cassia stood watching what other students were doing. She needed too know how this modeling was done so she wouldn't look totally clueless. She might not be able to perfect such things in a short time but she just wanted to get it done with this and make her last Transfiguration lesson remembered in a good way. Especially that she had become so interested in this subject and even decided that she was going to work on her skills during the summer. That was so not expected from her own self.

The second-year waited until most of students had modeled their own mannequins. Until a Slytherin presented her stuff. Cassia waited until he was done and immediately pushed her mannequin before her and stood beside it. umm…she probably should have prepared what she was going to say but she kinda got distracting the other designs. She cleared her throat and motioned towards her outfit. "I had decided to make an outfit for summer." It was kinda obvious considering the mini-skirt. "I thought that it'd be nice to make something that I'd wear during the summer. You know it's cool to be wearing something that you had transfigured…even if you used a rubbish bag…But you don't have to tell anyone about this because…." She trailed off and looked into the faces. She probably wasn't supposed to be talking about this. " Anyway, I chose bright green because I like this color and it suited summer time. I also didn't want to exaggerate with the textures and ornements on the outfit." Because I wasn't sure if I could manage doing that successfully. She surely wasn't going to admit that. "Because I like to keep things simple." Yeah that would work.

So what else do you make while modeling….except babbling she had covered that. "Oh and as for the material, the t-shirt is cotton and the skirt is…." Cassia paused and turned to her mannequin. "Excuse me.." She whispered and clutched the skirt's fabric then faced the students again. "Umm..The skirt's fabric is like any other skirt nothing special because like I said...simple" Because honestly how was she supposed to know about fabrics.

She then fell quite..what else should she say? "So I hope you like it and you can take a close look." Well, that was the best she could do without preparing. She pushed her mannequin away and smiled at Professor Magnus. She was done.

Relief. Excellent! "Okay, I won't actually use magic, don't worry!" Although.. would Hogwarts ever find out? He didn't exactly live in Great Britain.. But better safe than sorry, just to be sure.

She seemed alright with him going first. "Okay, see you up there!"



Both of them? So.. she WAS saying that he looked handsome? BEAM. "Oh, you were? Do you think I should?" Well if Kurumi thought he should actually wear his clothing, then there was no question in the matter. Without even giving her time to respond, he whipped off behind the curtain to change outfits.

Fortunately, he made it out just in time to watch Kurumi model her outfit. He clapped and cheered for her. She had definitely made the best outfit of the bunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right, so it looked like it was his turn! Now sporting his outfit himself, he climbed the incline and found himself standing in front of the whole class. Every eye was turned on him. Oh man... This is SO much worse than Quidditch! Pao considered running away and just putting his outfit back on the mannequin like he'd originally intended. He took a step in that direction when he saw Kurumi. If he ran away.... What would she think of me? I'd look like a coward to a Gryffindor. And Ness and I worked so hard on our shoes...

He squared his shoulders and faced the front, chest slightly puffed out. Let's do this thing.

He sauntered towards the front of the catwalk. Halfway down, he stopped and waved to his peers. He began to walk again as he said, "So this outfit was inspir--"

TRIP.

Arms flailing in windmill motions, he tried to keep his balance but couldn't. Hufflepuff down!

THUD.

The Italian's cheeks turned cherry-colored. "Sorry, stepped on my shoelaces.." he mumbled as he got back up. In his haste to get changed, he had clearly forgotten to tie them up. "Erm.." he said, trying to pick up his train of thought. His brain was fuzzy.

"I wanted an outfit for Quidditch matches.. to show House Pride, but.. erm.. I'm on the team now, so... I don't need it anymore." Clothes, Pao. What about the clothes? "But, the shirt's left half is black and right half is yellow," which they could all plainly see. "And, uh.. the pants are the same, but switched." Right, this was going splendidly. Hurry up!

The last bit came out in one breath. "And the shoes are grey with yellow polka dots because I was sick of black but still wanted some yellow and the polka dots looked bad on the pants so I did them here instead and that's it." He quickly turned around and ran to the end of the catwalk, his cheeks roughly the hue of a tomato.

He was going to need a LOT of ice cream at dinner. Or some gummy bears. Where was Alec when you needed him?!

Eliza really wasn't looking forward to walking the cat walk, so she put her outfit onto her mannequin and rolled that along the platform instead. Lots of people had already gone, so she wasn't feeling quite as uncomfortable as she had earlier, much to her relief.

She wheeled the mannequin down to the end of the runway and cleared her throat. Here goes...

"Hi, my name's Eliza and this is my outfit I made...erm..." She pointed to the tunic and said, "I made the shirt into a tunic because I just like longer shirts...and um, it's navy with stars because I like the night sky...and it will match my Ravenclaw stuff."


She spun the mannequin so each side of the classroom could see. "I made leggings because...well I just like them. And they're sort of a rusty color to match more things."

Then she pointed down at her feet to the boots she had just transfigured during class. "And these are the boots I just made. I've always sort of liked boots and leathery shoes...so, here they are." She smiled a little and then pushed her mannequin back off the runway and into the row of other mannequins. She tried to walk calmly back to a viewing place in the room, glad to be out of the spotlight.

Isabelle moved out the way when the first student got up on the runway, deciding to stay close to the wall and cross her arms to watch the show. Smiling as each of them took a turn, she nodded her head, impressed at what they had made and with the confidence they were showing to tell everyone about it.

Some with more confidence than others though.

As Pao tripped, Issy stepped forwards, ready to help him. But he righted himself soon enough, so she went back to her position by the wall. Chuckling as several of them did pouts and spins and struts, Isabelle waited until the last of them had gone down and walked forward to address them all.

"That was brilliant guys! Well done all of you. The outfits look wonderful, and you will of course have homework time to perfect the shoes - although you look to have a good grip on that incantation already." She perched herself on the edge of the runway again. "Those of you that wore the clothes for this, if you could please re-dress your mannequins before you leave, as I need to move them back to the homework room. The rest of you can gather your things and go. Thank you!"

Minerva got up when Professor Magnus said they were dismissed. She had walked back to her mannequin and began redressing it. She wanted to make sure her shirt and skirt looked alright on it again. Looking at it she noticed the shirt was on crooked, so moving it around she straightened it up. Once it looked alright she turned, "Professor Magnus, would you like help taking these to the homework room again?" She had a little extra time, so of course she would help if Magnus would like some.

Walking back to her bag while she waited on Professor Magnus response she made sure she had gathered all her things and smiled at Ethan. "I'm going to see if Professor Magnus needs help, so if you want to head to the next class I can just meet up with you." She pulled her bag over her shoulder and then turned to wait on Professor Magnus to tell her to move the mannequins or not.

Pao stood in the shadows, trying not to be noticed by anyone after his incident on the runway. Magnus had looked ready to help him up, but she must have decided against it. Hopefully people were bored by the time I got up and just weren't paying attention. Yeah, that was probably the case, right? He was almost the last one to go.

When the professor dismissed class, he shot back to the dressing area as fast as he could. He wanted to be one of the first one out of there! Pao quickly put everything back on his mannequin. This time he made sure that he had tied his shoes before taking a single step.

Wheeling his mannequin over to where they'd been at the beginning of the lesson, he gathered his things and headed for the door. Yes, he'd managed to get out before almost everyone else. "Thanks, professor," he mumbled quickly as he passed Magnus. Then he was out the door.

Pedestis. Hmm, this one he wasn't having as much trouble with, Ethan noticed as he looked down at the newly-transfigured shoes on his feet. Not exactly the style he wanted, but this spell was definitely easier than the first two. He was somewhat thankful that Magnus was easing up on them near the end of term. Studying for OWLs was hard enough without all the normal schoolwork piled on. And he would have shot her a grateful smile in regards to this fact, until he heard her announcement.

Ehh.. no.. he really didn't want to have to put on his transfigured clothes and model them for the class. It was bad enough having to stand up in front of everyone in Muggle Studies to present.. this was somewhat worse. And there was the option of just leaving them on his mannequin. He supposed that would be okay.. perhaps using a banishing charm to send it down the runway and a summoning charm to bring it back.. Ethan sort of hung back, just watching as everyone else presented their clothing, watching Minerva with an affectionate smile and giving Vickers an approving nod for his House pride attire. He politely applauded everyone as they all really did do good work with their spells.

And now was it his turn? It seemed to be as pretty much everyone else took their turn and he stood up next to his mannequin to send it down the runway. But it would seem as if they were out of time. Darn.. he thought with the hint of a grin. Apparently procrastination worked in his favor today. The Ravenclaw began collecting his things as they were dismissed and Minerva's voice caught his attention. Smiling at how sweet and helpful she always was, he shook his head slightly, "No.. it's alright. I'll give you a hand and then we can walk to class together." Glancing up at Professor Magnus, he added, "If you need some more help, Professor.."

It was official. The Professor hated her and wanted to make sure she left Transfiguration completely terrified of the subject on a whole. Well congrats Professor; mission accomplished. First she brought the over-sized dolls to class, then she gave them some locked away room for them to get eaten under the guise of 'doing homework', telling them they'd have to push the thing down the runway if they didn't want to do something equally as horrible but somehow less terrifying and now she wanted her to go and re-dress it?! Oh this woman was good.

She wished the Professor had shared this bit of information with her a bit sooner. It would have helped her weigh her options and make an informed choice. Mm.

Lex went back to the changing area and got back into her robes. Quite hurriedly she re-dressed the mannequin then stepped away. It wouldn't have the chance to get a her alone for too long. Eyeing the thing for moment she couldn't help but wonder...maybe if she hadn't bitten the heads off her all dolls when she was younger things would be different. Well she would never know that now.

Heading back to get her things she stole a glance at the Professor. The woman seemed thoroughly pleased with herself after all she'd put her through. Of course she would -___-

Did the woman even deserve a goodbye? Lex grabbed her things. "Have a good day Professor." She wasn't going to thank her though. Nope. Being traumatized for an entire term was nothing to be grateful for.

Cool. Time to leave. After Kat finished redressing, she slung her sling bag over her shoulder. Well her modeling skills were good enough. For a pureblooded witch... and a newbie. It actually could help in self-esteem, maybe. But that's all she can do for modeling today.

Getting ready to go out, Kat faced the Magnus. "Thank you for the lovely lesson, Professor," Kat smiled and made a curt nod. Then she went outside the classroom going to her next class.

Sarah had not known what to do when she reached the end of speech so she skipped away.
She watched the others and she admired their outfits. Her outfit paed in comparison to theirs she thought to herself.
Then the professor announced the end of the lesson and she collected ehr things and went over to the professor. "Thank you for the lesson professor" she said.
She then left the room - she wanted to go to the library to look up modelling

After Jory redressed he did the same for his mannequin. He had to admit, he enjoyed the modelling. A bit. Since he had never had an interest in these stuff.

He grabbed his bag. "Bye, Professor. Thanks for another fun lesson,'' he said to Professor Magnus. Then he headed off to his next class.

Class was dismissed?! Sierra beamed at the very sound of that and then turned on her heels and headed in the direction of the changing area. She'd been modeling her rainbow colored shirt and blue jeans as well as a pair of little brown shoes she'd managed to transfigure from the paper plates. They weren't the boots she'd wanted, but they'd do, she guessed.

She entered the changing room and changed back into her regular school uniform. With the transfigured outfit in hand, she headed back to the mannequin, redressed it, and then stood back to look at it. Well, it was a complete outfit, just like the professor had said they'd transfigure at the beginning of the school year. Sierra grabbed her belongings then and headed out the room.

As Isabelle vanished the unused plates, and wandered around tidying the desks, she hummed to herself and said goodbye to the students who spoke to her as they left, giving each one a warm grin.

Turning on the spot as she heard Minerva address her, Issy nodded at her, and the Ravenclaw who also offered his help. "That would be lovely, both of you. Thanks. Just leave them by the door please, I haven't unlocked it yet. Five points each for being so helpful."

Laura had done what the professor said after strutting her stuff on the catwalk which was an awesome experiences, she quickly redressed her mannequin, Transfiguration was fast becoming one of her favorate lessons even if the Professor had been mean to her before for no reason what so ever, once she had done what the Professor said she smiled at her. "Lovely lesson." and then with that Laura left the classroom.

Minerva smiled when the professor gave her five points. She wasn't helping for the points, she just really liked helping and since this was one of her favorite classes it made it even easier to do extra work. Placing her bag around her shoulder Minerva moved to the mannequins that were redressed. She knew it was going to be a few trips, but was glad that Ethan wanted to help as well. "I'll get these ones, if you can carry those, then we can come back and get the rest."

Minerva then gathered the ones she could and made sure to be careful not to mess any up. That was the last thing she wanted to do was make any of their outfits go out of place or harm a mannequin. Nope she had to be very careful with these. Heading out of the room she took them to the corridor outside the homework room.

"Oh.. thanks, Professor," Ethan said with a smile as Magnus offered him and Minerva extra points for their assistance. That was a bit unexpected but a nice surprise and he wouldn't argue against it. "Yeah, sure.. I don't think this will take us long," he said to Minnie as she spoke and he walked over to get a few mannequins as well.

He gathered as many as he could without wrinkling any of the clothing and began wheeling them out the door. There were a lot since this was such a big class.. but working together would make the job go quicker. Besides they had plenty of time before their next class..

Minerva walked back into the room. Most of the students were gone so it was easier to gather the final mannequins. She moved around the room gathering all the ones she could handle and made sure that they were neat and tidy before moving along. No reason to wrinkle all the pretty new clothes the students made. Unless maybe it was Elliots Mannequin. There were still a few, but she knew that Ethan could get the very last ones and they could be on their way.

Before heading out of the room Minerva turned to Professor Magnus. "I think we have collected all of them. Ethan will get the last and we will be on are way. They are right in the hall by the door where I placed them last time. Have a great day professor." With that Minerva turned and headed out of the room.

And just like that she was done. She quite enjoyed struting her stuff if she was being honest. She zipped over to the changing area and put her uniform back on. She dressed her mannequin for the last time and gathered up her belongings. She still couldn't believe that this was her last Transfiguration lesson of her third year. With everything that was going on this year at Hogwarts time just seemed to fly by.

"Bye professor. Thanks for a good lesson."
