  How has magic made cooking and being in the kitchen easier?
• Peeling and cutting vegetables
• Charming utensils to do work for us
• Preparing the food
• Washing the dishes
• Fire spells (to create fire) and spells to put out fire
• Healing (choking)
• Setting the table
• Management (multi-tasking and locating objects)

"Magic can most definitely make our lives easier, which leads me to...those," she said, using her wand to point out a box of aprons near the front of the classroom. Walking over to the box, Lexi pulled out a plain white apron. She directed her wand towards the apron, swished it the right, then swished it in a circular motion to the left. "Colorus Revolvo Pink!" she said.

...and that explained how the professor's apron had turned that pretty pink color.

"Now this lesson isn't about the Coloring Changing Charm, but if you'd like, you may use it to change your white apron to the color of your choice," she said. ...and yes, she'd just said your apron, which meant she wanted the students to wear aprons for this lesson, as well. "Come on up and find an apron in your size. If you like the white color, then so be it, but you can take a few minutes to change its color, too. Come on now...you, too, boys," she added, waving her hand in the general direction of the box.

"Remember to do your swishes in flicks in all the right directions, too. You'll likely end up with some atrocious, snot-colored getup otherwise," she said. Sigh...unless of course someone preferred a green and brown mixture. Eww. "Swish to the right, then swish to the left in a circular motion. The incantation is Colorus Revolvo, plus the name of the color you choose."

OOC: I'm going to stop here (for a little while) to allow some people from other timezones to catch up. In the meantime, you may roleplay your character getting an apron and working with the Color Changing Charm.
