Now onto some pants or his homemade or rather spell-made outfit. Somehow Ben got the impression this might get a little harder to do, at least in the fitting department. Though having 3 holes to come up with had to have some plus side to it over the 4 needed for a shirt. One could only hope. Taking out a darker piece of fabric, likely black, the Gryffindor prepared himself his next attempt. For one, he had to make sure he remembered to use the right incantation since the words were so similar. Two letters were changed and two others added.

"Summitto Vestis...Summitto Vestis...Summitto Vestis...Summitto Vestis," he practiced with his wand, wanting one right before moving on to the next. The point of the wand movement was easy enough. Picking his wand up again, he focused on the image of a nice bag of pants to wear. Image...plan...coming to fruition...right?

"Summitto Vestis!" he said once more this time with the point at the black fabric. It worked its magic until he had a pair of shorts. Or what he thought were shorts until he realized it had one leg not two. So he undid the spell.

No skirts for him.

AhA! Toby was now looking at a mannequin with a REAL LIFE pair of trousers on them, totally ready to be worn. Well... okay, they weren't quite the quality you'd find in an actual clothes shop, and he'd have to turn a couple of beetles into buttons so he could keep them up, 'cause they were on the large side. BUT he'd done it. The Hufflepuff made sure to remove all the pins he'd stuck into the fabric before he'd cast the spell, and moved on.

Next up, Toby wanted to make a shirt. A proper one, with buttons, rather than just a t-shirt. He rooted through his pile of material before finding a few nice big swaths of some purple cotton material, and draped them up over the mannequin before pinning it roughly into place with the same pins he'd used before.

Okay soooooo... this shirt would need BUTTONS, yes? It was likely that that would be a whole extra spell, given that Bellaire had written it on the board; it wouldn't be like the buttons would just appear. The question WAS, did he transfigure the buttons first and add them to the material before making the shirt? Or should he wait until after and then add them.

The Hufflepuff stood there, bouncing absentmindedly on his toes as he considered this, and tilting his head thoughtfully as he eyed the mannequin.

Buttons first. Yep. Then maybe if he pinned them onto the fabric and THEN transfigured the shirt, the final product would have them sewn on and maybe even end up with button holes in the right places. In retrospect, he should have done that with the trousers too, but it was a learning curve.

Off Toby went again, this time in search for the beetles that Professor Bellaire had provided. He found a little container that would be perfect for keeping them all together while they were still in beetle form, scooped up about a dozen, and headed back to his little area of the classroom.

"So..." Toby said, more to himself than anything, glancing up at the board to double-check the spells again as he reached his mannequin. "Bruchus Puga. Bruchus Puga. Okay."

Nothing too difficult, and Toby was pretty sure he'd recognised this spell; whether from previous classes or independent studying he had no idea. The Hufflepuff picked up his wand from his stool, where he'd left it, set the little pot of beetles down instead, and looked down at them.

They... they would be fine, right? They wouldn't stay as buttons forever or anything? Tobias thought back to his earlier years at school, and the one time they made hats out of rabbits, and how they were assured that the animals wouldn't be hurt or anything, and felt much better instantly. The beetles wouldn't be aware of anything, and maybe they'd be turned back to beetles again eventually.

Toby raised his wand and pointed inside the little container. With them all scurrying about this was likely to be sliiiiightly tricky, but if he held his wand steady and cast the spell, there was a strong likelihood he'd hit at least one of the things.

"Bruchus Puga!" Toby held his wand steady, pointing it straight at the beetles. He focused his mind as intensely as could on a regular shirt button, like on his school shirt, but black. C'moooooon, shirt button!

Nope. Missed.

"Bruchus Puga!"

THAT time, Toby got one, a nice and neat little black shirt button. He'd need about eight for masterpiece, and so hurried on with casting the spell a few more times.

"Bruchus Puga!"

“NEWT Level or not, we have to make something out of these…” he said as he gestured his hands on the fabrics they got. “All right, first things, first.” Ethan wrapped the leather fabric around his head, and made it into a makeshift turban. Leather turban? It’s kinda fashionable, isn’t it? No?

Never mind.

“How about…uh…somethings simple? Like a skirt?” the prefect got the fabric off of Grayson’s hands and wrapped it around his waist. “That’s…simple enough to visualize, compared to…trousers and jackets.” Nodnod. The goal here is to make something…anything that will pass as clothing. "We won't be...wearing it later, yeah?" Right? Well, he wasn't paying attention really.

Merlin’s beard. He was…really, really clueless with this stuff. Maaaaybe they should have partnered with a girl instead?

Haha. Ha.

“I love it” Puck grinned at Kace and nodded to Professor Bellaire. “Of course” She grinned and simply moved onto the next part of her outfit. Taking two leaves in her hand she quickly and carefully pinned them to the mannequin before moving to the next part of it. Tapping her wand lightly on the leaves she quietly spoke the spell. “Folium Induant” she watched the leaves began to stich together as if they had been made of one leathery material. The ribbed edges of the leaf meshing together as it grew and formed itself into one large vest.

“Perfect” she grinned and quickly took the first outfit off of the mannequin and placed it infront of Kace. “There you go, Viking.” She grinned and began to set up and pin the fabric for her next outfit.

Ugh. UGH. Ethan was right and he hated that. Not because it was Ethan but because the things he was saying wasn't something Grayson wanted to accept. "Yeah, I gue--"

.......... LOOOOOOL! "Dunno if leather turbans are your style. Leather JACKETS are a different matter." Maybe they could make something out of that because let's face it: who DIDN'T want a leather jacket?

A SKIRT?! Grayson, who had been about to reach for a piece of fabric, stopped to stare at the boy. "That's....." What had he been going today? Weird? Make some sort of comment about skirts? "FREAKING SMART! A skirt is just a piece of cloth and as long as it LOOKS good enough, Bellaire can't complain." How freaking awesome was this? They had this lesson DO--

No.

NO!

WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN?! "I hope not! What if we accidentally make a pink strapless dress? Dunno about you but I don't think any of us can pull that off." And did he know how to walk down a catwalk? NO! They sashayed their hips from side to side and there was no way he could do something like that without looking overly dramatic.

ANYWAYS. "One of us can work on the skirt and the other can work on the shirt? Sound good?"

Okay, so, tee shirt and jacket down. Now what Adi needed was a pair of pants. Nothing too flashy. He was thinking more along the lines of something a bit lighter than the jacket's colour. Off the Puffer went to find the right material.

He came back with some light blue denim material a few minutes later. Glancing back at the board, Adi noted the spell for pants was quite similar to the one for shirts. Gotta be careful how he pronounced it.

"Summitto Vestis...Summitto Vestis..." he repeated as he readied the fabric. Time to give this a try! "Summitto Vestis!'' Point! Ohh! Instantly something was happening. Woot!

Ugh! No. Cancel that woot. Adi was looking at shorts. O_O Nooo. That's not what he had in mind. He quickly reverted the fabric. "Summitto Vestis!'' He pointed smartly at it with the wand. Cue more movement.

Ethan wore a mischievous grin. What? “Leather turbans could be the next big thing out there. You don’t know that…” Hahaha! And who’d invent it? Ethan Mordaunt. Well, maybe this experiment thing isn’t so bad after all. He could totes be a fashion designer IF his consulting detective dream ever fails. Oh Merlin forbid. Hopefully that won’t happen. The wizarding community will be in deep fashion crisis if one Ethan Mordaunt ever helmed the fashion industry.

“Gray, don’t be so paranoid. I don’t think Bellaire will let us wear it. We’re boys.” Or maaaaaaybe they will. “But if ever that happens, we can still pull it off. We’re good looking. You and I.” Wink. And seriously? Was Grayson apprehensive about the possible catwalk activity afterwards? PUHLEASE. They have strutted around their dorms wearing Merlin knows what, and they totally killed it. It was a good thing that Healer Murdoch never caught them do it.

“Gotcha. I’ll go work on the shirt,” he said as he untangled the plaid fabric and tossed it to Grayson, “and you get busy with that skirt…or dress.” Skirts and dresses are the same thing, right?

Clearing his throat, and removing his leather turban, Ethan draped the plastic-y material around his mannequin, and placed several pins here and there to keep it in place. All right. The incantation? The Slytherin consulted his notes and murmured the spell under his breath. “Summus Ventis.” Backward Z. The problem with it is the backward wand movement. That’s a bit tricky, you see? Anything that’s backward is always tricky. “Summus ventis.”

“Summus ventis…Summus VENTIS!” A sharp backward Z of the wand, and…

O__O

The leather fabric just fluttered, and it turned from classic black…to GOLD. Ethan smacked his face with his hand and shook his head. Can he…reverse it? The Slytherin decided against it, and just carried on with the task because they were a bit behind now. Breathing in and out, and visualizing the shirt that he wanted, (wait leather SHIRT?!) he pointed his wand again and recited the incantation. “Summus Ventis!” Backward Z, and boom. A shirt. A GOLDEN tight fitting shirt, with sleeves differing in length.

Well at least he got the stretchy kind of leather, so…that should do.

Seven. He had SEVEN buttons already transfigured and ready (though admittedly some were SLIGHTLY more misshapen than others... Transfiguration was hard, okay) and was just trying to get that last one.

"Bruchus Puga!" Missed again.

But Toby was patient, and he wasn't about to let these beetles get the better of him. He stood for a moment, just looking into the jar of beetles, not casting anything at all. Maybe if he stopped, they'd calm down and stop running around, and he could get a surprise hit in.

So Toby waited... and waited... and waited... and-

"Bruchus Puga!"

Direct hit! Tobias grinned to himself as he reached into the jar, pulling out eight beetles-turned-buttons and inspecting them in his hand for a moment. Cool.

But back to the shirt, because time was surely running out, and Toby still wanted to make a suit jacket, and maybe even a COAT if he had the chance. He took a few of the pins he had left over and carefully pinned the buttons to the material in a line down one of the edges of fabric (which really consisted of sticking the pins in the fabric and hooking the buttons onto the needles using one of the four little holes. When they were all on and in a line, just like on a regular button-down shirt, Toby stepped back again and raised his wand.

... And glanced at the board to remind himself of the spell he needed, because his memory was truly shocking today.

Summus Vestis... and a backwards Z. Okay, he could totally do that. Toby practiced that backwards Z first, just to get the hang of it, and then redirected his focus back to the mannequin.

"Summus Vestis... Summus Vestis... Summus Vestis..." Toby mumbled the incantation to himself, getting used to the words. Then, with a backwards Z motion of his wand at the material that hung on the mannequin, he cast the spell. "Summus Vestis!" And again, the image of the shirt he was trying to achieve was fixed in his mind.

As he watched, the fabric knitted and blended together, looking more and more like what he'd pictured in his head. Eventually, Toby was left with something that looked really kinda neat. Still not designer level of course, but a definite improvement on the trousers he'd made. The Hufflepuff moved forward for closer inspection and saw that, as he'd hoped, buttonholes HAD appeared opposite the buttons, which were now neatly sewn on. Toby BEAMED to himself and started removing the various pins stuck all over the shirt.

Now... a suit jacket?

NONO!! HE DID WANT TO!! What was Zander even saying!? Kyroh shook his head again before hoping out of his seat. He grabbed the older boys hand just as Bellaire addressed him.

YEAAAH! HE COULD SPEAK AGAIN!

Beaming at the Professor he turned his attention back to his sidekick. "I can talk again." Did the boy know? ANYWAYS they were partners now. "D'you think it would be easy to make a super suit with magic?"

Zander was a bit disappointed to say the least. He was actually really looking forward to making a-- SO WAS THIS A YES? Lifting his head up at the sudden tug of his hand, Zander looked up at Kryoh with a small smile. Then how come he didn't say so earlier!? Why'd he have to be all confusing about it with the nodding and the shaking and stuff?

... Can talk again? "Why couldn't you--" HUH? "Nevermind." Maybe it was left better unexplained. Sometimes Kyroh thought weirder things than Zander did. Which was weird in itself. Anyways, super suit. "Um, well... All we have to do is make a cool super looking shirt using that first spell... Then some flame resistant shorts using the second spell..." There'd have to be some imagination involved of course. "And a cape using some scissors maybe... And a mask too!" That was easy enough, right? Sorta.

"I want to make the shirt!" Because who wanted to make trousers? They were boring. So he wanted the FUN thing. "Or we could make it together." He beamed, ready to talk as MUCH as he could now. "I think we need to make a sketch or something? Or were they just going to GO. Do whatever came to them?

The only thing Brooklyn hoped right now was that at least one of them could decide on what they wanted to do. A lot of the others had already started creating stuff, and that meant their choices were going away. She didn’t like that at all. She’d much rather have gotten the ability to pick whatever she wanted, but then part of her wanted that dragon skin Professor Bellaire had mentioned as off limits. Of course, she was still planning on maybe asking her later if she could have something made from it. It was only appropriate after all, even if she hadn’t actually defeated the dragon. This was easier. But first she and Hady needed to figure out something to make in the lesson. She wasn’t about to get in trouble for not having anything to show whenever the modeling started.

The shrug wasn’t exactly promising either, but at least her partner was thinking. Maybe that meant they still had hope of getting somewhere. “Okay. I mean, we could still try and figure out ideas of what we wanted to make.” Since at least one of them was going to have to wear it, which made her wonder if they had to wear it over their uniforms. That would be uncomfortable. Especially considering robes. Either way, Hady had started rummaging through one of the boxes already, so she wandered over. “Anything good in there?,” she asked. Maybe some silk of something appropriate to how awesome they were. They didn’t wear rags after all.

Aha! Fashion! There it was. Partners were pairing off and he spoke quickly having misread the dubious glance from afore as sort of...positive.

"Hey, Banner? Want to partner up?" He needed her and she didn't need him at all, but he thought that an easy fix. He needed to get an idea out of her, at least one or two. Cutty didn't care too much for fashion. Expensive and designer? Yes, please. And he did have an abnormal amount of jumpers for a boy his age, but true style was something he'd get to come by.

Ruby was quietly having a crisis and her thoughts were interrupted by Cutty. It was welcome though since here was someone she could use. She'd watched the professor demonstrate each spell, and while the concepts weren't hard, remembering all of them was. And it didn't matter that they were on the board because.... well. She looked at her housemate.

"Sure, Cutty." She agreed silkily. "What do you want to make?"

Cutty restrained his expression as he gave Ruby's question some serious thought. What came to mind were cowboys. Cowboys in hats and those things that protected the trousers and legs. Chaps. But the kind without the seat. It's be a chilling statement and one Professor Bellaire wouldn't be likely to forgive.

Best keep it simple.

"I dunno." He began, giving his wand a roll through his fingers. "I was sortof thinkin...skirts." Dead easy and witches fashion might go a longer way toward not causing Professor Bellaire a conniption. "And perhaps an ambiguous shirt since she mentioned we'd have to model it." Or whatever. Cutty was down to wear a dress. "Unless yer have something else in mind?"

Ambiguity? Pshh. No. She didn't DO ambiguity. Ruby was ALL ABOUT flaunting what she had, and even when she put something masculine on it clearly became NOT masculine as soon as she donned it. Ambiguity? No way. "If I'm modeling it, it won't be ambiguous." She pointed out.

"We could do a short dress." She'd heard Bellaire mention THAT as a spell. And it had 'short' in the title soooo Bellaire couldn't even get on her case about it. "With a jacket maybe?"

"Everything yer joost said right now was perfect." He informed her. Though his expression only altered slightly to imply thought. It did give him a lot to think about though. Nothing was ambiguous about sister Banner. No truer statement. And a short dress was doable. It'd be simple enough to magic and he'd seen his mum wear something quite similar on occasions before. All he had to do was think it up.

"Fetch oos some fabric before all the good bits are gone." He stopped and looked as though a last minute idea ocured to him. "Yer eye for it will be betteh than mine." H'mm...Did Ruby Banner object to being bossed around?

Of course it was. She flipped her hair and looked in the direction of the supplies, eyeing the boxes of fabric. Ruby even preened slightly at the compliment but, not to be outdone, and because she had her own requirements, she pointed at the board. "You practice the incantations that we need, then. Short dress. Jacket. Out loud, incantations and wand movement." Nod. With that instruction she flounced over to the fabric box and began to rummage through it, looking for the right colours and textures for what she already had in mind.

... and keeping an ear out to hear Cutty.

The girls of Hogwarts did the hair flippy thing. Cutty was sure it meant something, but he was at a loss for exactly what. Perhaps, though, it was a sign of trust. Like when cats wind their heads around the ankles.

Short dress. Short dress. Cutty summoned a roll of inexpensive, undyed cotton and cut it into yardage. It would do well for practicing, although it was sure to come out heinous. Short dress. Short dress. From the right to the left a sharp V-formation was carved into the space in front of Cutty. "Seges habitu." A flapping sort of noise came from the cotton as it fashioned itself into a pleated number of hiked hemline. Just like his mother's dress, though the one he'd made was indeed a great deal shorter than anything Soheir would wear...Perhaps.

"Vestis fluens." He spiraled the tip of his wand downward to transform the next bit of fabric into a long, plain shift. They might have been pajamas or perhaps, a slip. He zig-zagged his wand in a backwardly written Z and directed it toward the next strip of the cotton. "Summus Vestis." A shirt that remained open for the obvious lack of buttons emerged from the pile and flopped to the ground as the spell hit and left. He wasn't sure he wanted to try the last for the temptation to create trousers and animate them and set them free upon the world.




"Summitto Vestis."

Zooooommmgggg!

He was right. He was RIGHT! And he kinda had his Astronomy homework to thank for it. Even though he hadn't had to use the spell for it, the idea was there, and it was relevant to this so, WIN!

"Thanks, Professor," he beamed!

He was IN THE KNOW. How cool was that?!

SPOILER!!: Ian

Not to sound judging or anything. It was also kinda funny, but in a good way. In a way that made him smile, not JUST laugh at Ian's expense.

But yeah.

Clothes stuff.

He didn't fancy a dress either. "I'm not wearing a dress either, already dressed like a girl in History of Magic, don't need to do it again." That was one lesson he wouldn't soon be forgetting. "Fabric, yeah, we'll start there and figure it out." Maybe there'd be some INSPIRING print or something?

What to do, what to do?????

Zeke rifled through the fabric swatch thingies, looking for anything he might LIKE and want to MODEL for the class.... cause you know, he wanted something manly. Or manly ENOUGH.

What he found super cool though, were the beetles. BEETLESSSS!

"Buttons... I'm doing something with buttons," he informed his partner, cause obviously he needed to be informed with these things.

It was then that he noticed Ian had already started working, but was having trouble... he watched, keen to hear what the Professor had to say.

But, perhaps for now he'd also start with the buttons. Ahem.

"Bruchus puga," he recited the incantation, pointing steadily at the beetles in his hand. He would usually opt NOT to have things in his hand when performing spells, but meh, what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing apprently.

Huh?

"Bru-chus... pu-ga!" he repeated, pointing with INTENT at his beetles. Only two of them changed, but they CHANGED! The beetles morphed into shiny black buttons. Not too big, but not too small. Just right.

Perfect.


The same way you increased the size of any object????

"Ooohhh!!! Professor, is that... engorgio?" he asked.

Ian shrugged with Zeke's response. He noticed that Zeke seemed to be getting some enjoyment out of his choice of classroom attire. [b]Oh well. I suppose class will be over soon enough and I'll have a chance to get in proper clothes.

Ian nodded at the suggestion of fabric.

Looking at his tiny person vest, Ian saw Zeke trying to make beetle buttons. It seemed perhaps a 'little' dangerous to be trying to hold beetles in your hand while transfiguring them, but when Zeke tried the spell...nothing happened at first. Then when Zeke tried again...two buttons! Brilliant, Zeke. The buttons look rather nice. Good job! Any idea what you want to use them on? This brought Ian's attention back to his shorty vest. Then he heard Zeke mention engorgio. Brilliant! Ian remarked to his smart partner. He pondered how long he needed to wait for the professor to respond before he gave it a go.



Ian didn't have to wait long as the professor not only responded, but also awarded points to Zeke for his work. [b] Good show, Zeke. Congratulations on the points![b]

Ian took his baby vest and placed it on the table. He wasn't nearly as adventurous as Zeke when it came to holding things in his hand to transfigure it. Pointing his wand at the purple vest, he imagined the vest being the proper size to fit him and said Engorgio! in the deepest voice he could muster. It sounded rather like a kid trying to imitate his dad, but it was deeper than his normal voice. He hoped it gave the vest the idea that he was serious and he didn't want any super-sized vest.

When the vest was finished 'growing' Ian picked it up. It was still purple, but he'd live with that. It was just a wee bit bigger than Ian was, but it suited. Ian tried it on and asked Zeke for his opinion on the size. How's it look mate? too big?

Of course he was still chuffed with his points when he turned back to Ian. Heheheeh, seee, together they'd make an awesome team!

As for his buttons? "I was thinking a shirt, a button up shirt... something nice but casual?" Yeah, he was a boy, he didn't know these things, but he knew what types of things he had in his wardrobe, so that was easy enough.

Fishing around, Zeke found a swatch of cheap looking paisley fabric. The black and white was cool, but this was one pattern he didn't care for. Nope. No paisley in his wardrobe thanks. In the end he found a burgundy, green, blue and yellow tartan. The fabric wasn't a good quality, or so he guessed, cause it seemed a bit scrappier than others. He could work on this one. Yep.

Deciding this time that he wouldn't be performing the spell standing, he took it back to his work area and placed the buttons on the stool and then holding the fabric to the mannequin. "Summis Vestus!" he recited, careful to do the backward Z movement with his wand as timely as possible. Nothing happened, NOTHING. "Summiiissss Vestuuus!" he repeated, this time making the Z movement much sharper. Cuts tore through the fabric in various places, resulting in it looking more fringey than anything else. Whooooops. That wasn't right. Upon reviewing his notes, Zeke realised his error. He'd been saying it WRONG. After retrieving a new bit of fabric - the same colour and pattern - he continued on his work.

"Summus Vestis!" he tried again, Z wand movement to boot. This time the fabric morphed and changed and transfigured into a shirt! It was a decent sized shirt, but he wasn't sure if HE would fit in it. Still, he'd give it a go.

Looking up, he saw Ian's purple vest and beamed. "It looks great, purple suits you," he mused, half joking but also perfectly serious. It DID look great. Hehehe. "How's my shirt?" he asked, slipping it on over the top of his. The buttons weren't fixed on yet, so it just hung open around him for the time being.

Maybe some silk of something appropriate to how awesome they were. They didn’t wear rags after all.

"Yeah there's lots of this stuff in here in a ton of colors!" Hady exclaimed pulling out several strips of different colored silk. "I quite like the green honestly." She held it up to the light a bit to examine the darkness of the green fabric she'd chosen.

"Are we thinking more of casual clothing likes pants and shirts or maybe something a bit more dressy for us like a dress or a skirt?" Hady glanced over at Brooklyn as she spoke not exactly sure what to make yet but knowing they needed to get started soon. Maybe they could make similar things in different colors or one of them in pants and the other in a dress? Right now she didn't really care much just so they came up with something.

She kept an ear on Cutty and looked up as he did things and repeated quietly in her head 'Seges habitu'. Sharp right to left V. So that was the dress one they needed. Good. Ruby nodded to herself. She could do that. And Summus Vestis was the other? With a backward Z? Happy with figuring out what she needed to without trying to decipher the board, Ruby went back to rummaging and finally came up with a purple satin, that had a gold rose pattern on it. That was a good start. Gold to match? She went a bit tug of war and managed to pull a length of gold sequinned fabric free. Always a good combo! With both lengths of fabric well in hand, Ruby returned to her work area with Cutty, draped both fabrics over the dummy, and then sat down to try out a few sketches. She'd leave the jacket design up to him but she came up with a dress, short but not RUBY short, basically about as short as she thought she could push it without Bellaire getting on her case.

"What do you think?" She nudged it over to Cutty.

Ian nodded. I agree. It seems like we are a pretty good team. Of course, I'm hoping Bellaire thinks we do a good job with all this girly work. I never met a guy who does this stuff, except the guys on my dad's fishing boat. They don't make clothes, they just fix the ones they have.

He looked over at Zeke as he searched for fabric to make some trousers. Trousers would be fabulous. He decided on some beige denim. He began to cut out the amount of fabric he thought he would need. Did he need to measure? He shrugged and just chopped off a couple sections about 1 meter in length. That should do, right?

He answered Zeke. It looks a wee big, but I think for a first go, it's brilliant! It will make you look a little tougher if you wear an open, larger shirt.

He focused on his denim and practiced the spell...SummiTO vestis! SUMMito VestIS! summITo VESTis! He kind of liked the second one. He pointed his wand at the fabric and spoke the incantation. SUMMito VESTis! and watched. Still a swatch. He frowned and wondered if he'd emphasized the wrong syllable. SummiTO VESTis! Still nothing. He scrunched up his face, deepened his voice and envisioned completed pants. SUMMITO VESTIS! He watched with excitement as the material took the shape of trousers, however it was not at all connected. He had two halves. Then he thought...hmmm...perhaps I need some thread. He walked over, grabbed a spool of black thread and a needle and repeated the words. [SUMMITO VESTIS![/b] he was tickled as the needle and thread joined together the two halves of the trousers and he now had a proper pair of trousers, suitable for wear. He held them up to himself and they were a little long, but seemed to properly sized at the waist. He just needed a zipper and button fastener. He held them out to Zeke. LOOK! PANTS! And I didn't even poke myself with a needle.

Adi was grinning broadly. He had transfigured pants. Yes indeed. He was one happy Puffer. So now he had a complete outfit. All that he needed now were buttons. One for the pants obviously and a couple for the jacket.

He made another trip to the boxes, returning with a couple of beetles. Adi was muttering the incantation under his breath all this while to re-familiarize himself with it. ''Bruchus puga...Bruchus puga...Bruchus puga...''

Okay, which beetle was going to be a button first? He grabbed a random beetle and pointed his wand at it. "Bruchus puga!'' The beetle transformed into a shiny silver button. Two beetles later, the Hufflepuff had two more buttons of the same description.

He was so pleased with his progress.

Kace was watching Puck do her work and he admitted the outfit was looking pretty cool. He saw the leaf vest in front of him and smiled. "Why thank ya. It looks pretty bloody awesome.." he said. "Do you want me to try it on?" he asked to be sure if she wanted to do last minute adjustments. "Puck do you want this dress shorter or leave it the way it is?" I mean if she had a preference he better let her know now before modeling it for the class.

He decided he was gonna work on the skater girl look incase she liked it better. He got the two fabrics for the shirt and pants. He got a grey fabric for the t-shirt she was gonna wear. He looked the notes Puck had laid out and saw the spell was Summus Vestis. He nodded and copied it down. Now the wand movement was a backward Z. He got that. Now onto making the shirt happen. He put the grey fabric on the desk and said, "Summus Vestis!" and then did the front Z and nothing happened. Aaahh he did the wand movement wrong. He shrugged and did it again. He did "Summus Vestis!" and the with the backwards Z this time he saw his t shirt forming before his eyes. Now THAT was pretty awesome. Now onto making the pants.
