Laura.

She actually had a good question for once. Was it raining yet outside? Issy snuck a quick look out the window just to check, before turning her attention to the Hufflepuff.

"There is no law against it, but it is very hard to perform to a standard where you get intricate designs or brilliant patterns. And what if the shops don't have the exact thing you want? Why not make it? If you think about it, it's not much different from sewing your own clothes, like Muggles do."


"That's right, Daichi. This lesson will concentrate on tops, shirts etcetera." Had he actually been listening at all? Hmmm. Well at least he checked.


Walking around the room as the questions were fired at her - she thought better on the move - Issy came past West just as he asked his.

"It is always easier to transfigure things when they are similar, which is why you're all starting with these bags. But as you become more adept at the spell it really shouldn't matter which item you use it on."

Although that reminded her of something she really should mention, even if it wasn't immediately needed. "I should just point out though, for some reason this spell doesn't work on metal objects. They just melt," even for her when she tried. "Not entirely sure why.... Probably due to rigidity, so best to stick to items that are reasonably flexible to begin with."


Isabelle moved on and narrowed her eyes at the young Lion who spoke up next.

"What if you're in a situation where you've got ripped or stained clothes and you want to replace them, but you can't get to any shops?" Yep, she answered a question with a question. So sue her.


"Having a clear idea is always needed when performing a transfiguration spell, but as I said a minute ago any object bar metal ones really."


"Of course you will. However far your imagine and wand work and skill can take you. I will let you all design something first if you wish to have a picture to work from," Issy replied with a smile.


"As far as this particular spell goes it's all in the intent. You want cotton? Concentrate. Of course you probably won't get it right first time," Issy said, raising her eyebrows and grinning. People very rarely did. But that was what practice was for.


Moving back to the front, Isabelle leant against her desk again and folded her arms. Turning her head to the person speaking next, she tilted it and chewed on her bottom lip.

"You don't change the incantation, no. It's generally about intent for this as well. Although you can choose an item to use that is a reasonable size to what you might want." If that made any sense.


Isabelle was guessing this child was quite new to the whole magic thing. If her question was anything to go by. Now, how did she answer without just saying 'it's magic!'

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean," she smiled. "You use this, this and the incantation I'm about to give you all." Isabelle flicked her wand out and held it up, before pointing to her head, indicating the brain.


"You can keep it as plastic if you want to, Miss Potter. But I'd hazard a guess it might get a bit hot during summer time." Isabelle winked at the Hufflepuff before moving to the second part of her question. "Uh, no. You have one spell per lesson to learn."


"Absolutely correct. Always the way I'm afraid." Always the way.


"Any bar metal, as I explained earlier," Issy smiled.

Right, time to move on then now all questions had been answered. If they had any more they could ask as the lesson went on. Going back over to the mannequin by the desk of the Ravenclaw she'd spoken to before, Issy flexed her wand hand and got ready to perform her demonstration. "Now, as I said before, you can all sketch out a design first if you want to. If you think it will help. But right now I will show you how to do the actual spell so anyone that wishes to get on with practice can do so."

Taking a step backwards, she pointed her wand at the dummy and cleared her throat, looking around to make sure they could all see her. Yes? Good. "The incantation is 'Summus Vestis' and the wand movement is a Z shape in front of the object you are changing. Like so.... Sum-mus Vest-is!" With a sharp zig zag motion the rubbish bag on the mannequin suddenly started growing arms and changing colour to a blue and black check diamond pattern. Finally what was left was a jumper.

"Okay, if you've all got that you're more than welcome to start trying it out. The reversal spell is the same as usual, but if you need help with that please ask me or an older student." Isabelle flung her arms out and grinned. "Away you go."

OOC: Remember nobody is perfect, so your character shouldn't really get it right straight away. Any questions ask Isabelle and I'll reply when I can. Have fun! TOPS/SHIRTS/JUMPERS ONLY....NOTHING FOR THE LOWER HALF DURING THIS LESSON!


Harvey was dreading this, cause this meant that now the spell that he was worried about was now in someone' hands, so he would have to be careful and not annoy them too much or risk being re-dressed. He was not too fond of that now, until now he was relaxed knowing that this spell was not in her hands but now it was so he was going to be in trouble and had to be careful from now on. Now he had to learn the spell, oh wait! hehe he too was going to have access to the spell too so maybe she should be careful about annoying him too. Watch out Mins! He then watched the professor demonstrate the spell with the incantation and the wand movement as well. He watched in amazement as the black rubbish bag became a jumper, ooo that was nice, not a dress so he was saved from that at least. But it wouldnt be long before a spell for the dress would be available too *gulp*.

He decided to have a little bit of a practice to learn the spell, so he got out his wand. He first practiced the wand movement before he had a look at the incantation. He practiced the Z wand movement in the air and once he had done that he decided that he wanted to have a go at the spell cause he just wanted to do some spell work to change that rubbish bag into an item of clothing. "Summus Veztis" Z-wand motion. Suddenly the rubbish bag started changing and when it had finished changing, he noticed that the rubbish bag had not turned out the way he wanted it to. It had just changed the design of the bag and not the material, so now he had a plastic rubbish bag that had a check design.
