Colovaria. Okay, that sounds easy enough. The incantation, wand movement, and intent was all too easy for the young man. Shouldn’t be a problem at all. What made him think things over however, was the gifting part. He sure can just accept it, give the person a grin, and hide the hideous thing forever. Unless of course it had something to do with Starwars, then he will do something about it.

As instructed, Ethan loosened his tie and coiled it around his left hand. “Colovaria.” He said as he pointed at his tie while thinking of the Gryffindor colours, but nothing happened. Seriously? A first year can do THAT spell. Okay, maybe he needed more breakfast? Can the professor spare some apples? No? Okay. Fine. Ethan refocused his mind on his task, and visualized his tie in scarlet red and gold. “Colovaria.” Red tie. The Slytherin uncoiled his tie and hung it around his neck. Hmm. Does he look good in Gryffindor colours? Why yes of course. He looks grand in any colour.
