Shaking her head, "Yes, I thought about more charms, but figured I would start here." plus the fact that the charms professor scared her a bit... not as much as Professor Scabiors, but close. Then Professor Magnus said something that made Minerva think, "Colovaria" she wanted to put that to memory. She wondered if she should take out her parchment and write it down. "Now what would the wand movement be for this?" she wondered excitedly that she was getting somewhere and Alec would be excited.
"Professor I have to say I have really enjoyed your lessons the last four years. Many things were so different coming here not knowing really anything about the wizard world, but transfiguration has been by far my favorite." She did love this class and seemed to do well in it. "I am very interested in learning these clothes spells. Now my question is, once we learn them and are good at them, do they work when your wearing an outfit or does it have to be something off the person...You know like if say I didn't like the top I had on, could I just change it while it was on or would I have to change it before placing it on." Yes another question that had been on her mind since the first class. She could just see Harvey's face if he knew she was asking this question.
"Well, make sure you tread carefully if you do try it. It's harder to get right than your hair." And the last thing Issy wanted was for Minerva to end up in the hospital wing because she'd got it wrong.
She was glad to help, of course. Although Isabelle didn't want to step on Sophia's shoes too much in the Charm's department, so if there were any more questions that went in that area she'd pass her along to her colleague. But for now, she was happy to oblige.
"I believe it's a simple upward flick of the wrist, while pointing at the object in question," Issy smiled. Yes, simple from what she remembered of last using it.
"That's very nice of you to say, Miss Wheatborn, thank you." Awww, well that was very sweet. Issy shifted in her seat and grinned. She was always pleased when students enjoyed what she taught, when they got enthusiastic about it. Oh, and she had questions. Nodding along as the question was explained, Issy licked her lips ready to reply.
"Once they've been mastered to a certain high degree, then yes, you can change what you're wearing without removing it first. Although they're usually used on items that aren't already clothing, and it is best to see what you're doing when casting. But it's possible."

"I just had a couple questions, if you don't mind," he began. The boy didn't exactly make it a habit to visit his teachers, but a couple pressing matters had led him to the sixth floor. "The first.. I was thinking of taking.. I mean, I wanted to go ice skating on the frozen lake," he corrected himself. Guh, Professor Magnus does not want to hear about your social life! He quickly composed himself with a smile before continuing. "Anyway, I was hoping you could tell me the spell for transfiguring shoes into ice skates.." Sure, he could visit the library for that information, but he figured this was easier.
Closing the door behind him, Isabelle walked over to her desk, rounded it and slipped into her seat. Gesturing at the one opposite her, she smiled.
"I had a very nice holiday, thank you. Did you get home for Christmas?" Small talk. But she figured that wasn't why he'd come. It rarely was when students were involved.
Skating? That sounded like a lovely idea. As long as he was careful, of course. Folding her hands in her lap, she leant back in her seat and got comfy.
"I can tell you, yes. But as you've never used it before, I'm guessing," or why else would he need to ask for it, eh? "Not sure how safe they'll be to use on the lake. I'd need your word that you'll try and perfect the spell first before launching yourself onto the ice." Isabelle gave him a one eyebrow raise and waited for that assurance before she proceeded.
