Just take it.

"That wasn't a pet, by the way. That was hitting a cat without any damaging force." Louisa commented, "You need to let the cat purr as you touch her. Watch," positioning Viola on her right arm awkwardly, Louisa used her left one to slowly and gently rub the cat's head until she purred, moved one of her paws over to her face affectionately.

Louisa grinned down at her success, "That makes me a winner, by the way." In the challenge thing. "Are we cool, though?" No hard feelings for... licking his shoe and then resizing it? "I'm still sure you'll laugh at this later on." The Ravenclaw said, trying to let out a convincing chuckle. But it was just nervous... and uncertain.
Edric sighed in relief as Louisa finally gave in. WHEW. The wand was his! Finally!
… Except he had to go and get it himself.
Normally, he wouldn't have minded. If it was sitting on a table. On a chair. Even on the ground. But this wand was attached to the girl in front of him, and… well, in all honesty proximity kind of freaked Edric out.

"Um." He stared at the wand then back up at the girl. "Can't you just… give it to me?" It wasn't that hard, was it!?

But Louisa was already moving on to the next topic - this girl didn't keep her mind on one thing for very long, did she? Edric was hardly listening as she went on about the basics of cat-petting and demonstrated the art of it herself. He was just staring at her wand. It was his ticket out of here! His ticket to getting his shoe back.

Edric, standing a good five feet away from Louisa, extended his arm out toward her. He balanced on his shoe-covered foot and leaned in closer. Closerrr... clooooserrrrrr...
HA! In one swift motion, he snatched the wand from the girl's holster.

"Right. Yeah," he muttered absentmindedly as Louisa assured him this would all be hilarious in the future. He honestly didn't care, he was too distracted pointing the girl's wand at his baby-sized shoe. "Engorgio!"
