Ellie hopped out of her chair and made her way to the front of the class. She queued up and eventually grabbed a green pilkadot apron. She stepped away from the box to allow the other students to claim theirs. Some of the boys seemed less than thrilled to put on an apron.

She was looking forward to doing a little cooking. Ellie's mum was an excellent cook, but the Ravenclaw was horrible at it. She'd tried baking cookies once, but almost set her house on fire in the process. Since then she'd left the culinary duties to her mum.

Quite happy with her colour choice, she stood back. But it seemed all the other students were practicing the Colour Changing Charm, so Ellie felt like she ought to too. It had been ages since she last used that particular piece of magic, so she was a little shy about trying it around a bunch of other students.

Nevertheless, she pulled out her wand and pointed it at the white polkadots. She thought about what might match the green apron. After a moment, she decided on a hot pink. Ellie wasn't big on that particular colour, but it would go really nicely with the outfit. "Colorus Revolvo Pink!" she said, confidently. She beamed as the dots turned a vibrant shade of pink, just like she imagined. Looks like her magic skills were getting better as she got older.
