Sophie stopped using the sheers and stood back to look at her work. Wow. It really did look like a potato with sticks for legs. That was all on purpose, though. Sophie was just trimming away the excess pieces, so she could work on the design next. The front and sides were all trimmed up nicely, so then she moved to the back part and began snipping it away, as well. Soon, she had trimmed away all the excess parts on all sides and was left with nothing but the part she'd need to start shaping.

Sophie returned the sheers then pulled out her wand. She bit her bottom lip as she tried to picture the dragon in her head. Before she could get too nervous about it, she aimed forward and said, "Flipnsnipwitit!" She was working on shaping the dragon's head and neck area. "Flipnsnipwitit!" she said again.
