Feeling for her wand she decided to get to work. She headed to the pile of garbage bags in the corner - how much would she need... what a question... She was very against wasting so she decided that one would do. She picked up the top garbage bag. The bag, simple, black and rectanglular was not going to be in such a degrading form any more. She held it out, let it wave a bit in the draft. It smelled like a freash garbage bag to Sarah now, hopefull her top would not smell like that

Next step was to open the bag... she took hold of the one end, held both sides and was about to pull when she noticed the seam. it must have been the wrong end, the bottom of the bag. She turned it over and opened it at the right end. She tore a hole at the top for a head and made holes at the side for a shirt. Then standing on her tip toes she pulled the bag over the mannequin with her name on. Threading the arms through, it looked like the garbage bag -shirt her mom made for them when Sarah was younger and needed to polish the silverware without getting dirty.

Now that the materials were prepared... Sarah could start the actually activity

Homework. Always the worst part of school in Nessie's opinion. Didn't they do enough work in class? It wasn't fair. This year it was just work, work and even more work. She needed a break, but she'd have one later. For now she wanted to do at least some of her Transfiguration.

Fixing her tie, Renesmee entered the Homework classroom and searched for her mannequin only to see that it was right beside Logan's. She instantly blushed and headed over his way. She lay her bag on the floor and then try to peek over his shoulder to see what he was drawing.

"That looks..." she wasn't sure what word to use. "...interesting." If one thing he had better drawing skills than she did, but still nobody could draw like her bestie. He was just on some other level when it came to art.

She unzipped her purple bag and then too took out a notepad to sketch on. Not many idea's were flowing in her mind and she blammed that on her lack of sleep. Still she needed something to work with, even if it wasn't so amazing. She put her quill to the paper and then just drew whatever came out.

It wasn't a very great drawing but it would do.

"I didn't forget your name!" Daichi gasped. "It's...uhm...J..Jimmy?!"

Yep Jimmy! Daichi grinned proudly and unscrolled his parchment and rolled it out on the floor. He then grabbed his quill and dipped it in the ink that he had set down earlier. But even before he could even press the tip on the parchment he looked at the Hufflepuff.

"Yes, how did you know?" he asked surprised. He hadn't told him he was going to use a duck as a design to him right? Or perhaps... Daichi's eyes began to twinkle now. "Can you read minds like Professor Williamson could?!" Of course , the ex professor couldn't read minds but the Slytherin thought he could.

Oh right, he should focus on his work. He thought for a moment before he began to draw. First the outline of the shirt, he wanted to have a simple shirt with a duck face on it!

Happy with his design, Daichi placed his quill down and looked at Jimmy Jory as he began to use the spell learned in class. He watched with a curious expression but frowned when he failed as well. It seemed that Daichi wasn't the only one who had trouble with the spell and that made him feel good actually. He wasn't alone!

He wanted to tackle the boy and give him a hug but refrained from doing so, after all , he was a big kid now. "Professor Magnus told me that i needed to concentrate more and visualize the design in my mind" he said as he remembered what she had told him last term. "Maybe you should try that too?" just a suggestion.

Seeing Jory shaking his wand , the Slytherin's eyes widened. "STOP THAT!" He shouted. "I don't want you to explode things by accident" he could speak from experience.

"Did you deserve it?" Not that she knew who Elijah was, but he most certainly deserved it. Thus the bland tone and quirked eyebrow. She did deserve it. Vivi could tell.

She listened as Kurumi rationalized what she wanted to wear, although her own little mannequin drawing stayed completely undressed the entire time. What exactly could she wear to a party like that? Not one of those frilly ridiculous things her mother tried to make her wear for the fundraisers.

And her standard too-cool-to-care stuff wouldn't work. Too stark. Sigh. Vivi tilted her head as Kurumi finished, giving the girl a nod in appreciation. The bow and shiny bit were too much for her, but worked for Kurumi, and it gave Vivi a jolt of boldness. She didn't want frilly or fussy, but that didn't mean she couldn't dress a bit more like a girl. And a tank top, just as Kurumi had suggested, since they were dressing for summer.

She sketched out her own top, mentally sighing over the little flutter of fabric she added to the front - a bit feminine and a real challenge to Transfigure and... almost a ruffle, but not quite. She borrowed one of Kurumi's colored pencils to finish the drawing, holding it up at the end to show her Gryffindor compatriot.

"Will you cut pieces of the bag to make the other elements? It would give you more control."

Well, during class he left the bag hanging loosely and did little to help him conjure a t-shirt, because to him, it looked like a garbage bag on a dummy. And once again, in his head, thats what he's looking at. And he isnt backing down from the resolve of NOT wearing a vest thing.

So the Ravenclaw clumsy pulls and tugs and twists and pinches the garbage bag so it would vaguely resemble a shirt. And it looked..... like a vest.

He is sooo gonna have to make sleeves for this thing.

He nears the table with the extra garbage bags and starts tearing one down, grabs his wand and utters a sticking charm on the area where the sleeves were to go. He backs up a bit and angles his head as he regarded his plastic-y work. Now it looks like a shirt.

Should he try for a collar? Since he had scraps of plastic he decided to cut a few more down to size and carefully stuck them around the neck area. He may have applied too much of the sticking charm since the collars were standing up. He tugged at the pieces thinking of re-doing it when.... he tore the bag right down the middle.

Brilliant. Just perfect

Deciding to leaving the collar as it was he scrambled to mend the tear. But it was at such an odd angle it was completely distracting, and Merlin knows what that might end up being when he was done transfiguring it. Wrinkiling his lips annoyingly he ended up widening the tear and tucking the flaps under it. Now it was a V-shape neckline.

Eh. Thats it. He's done with tweaking.

The Puff instantly stopped shaking his wand at the mention of an explosion. “Sorry,’’ he said a bit shakily, thinking of what would have happened if Daichi had not shouted at him. “You’ve saved me an explosion, detention and a loss of a thousand points for sure.’’

Jimmy? “I knew you’d forget.’’ The boy grinned. “It’s Jory.’’ No matter he forgot. “I wish I could read minds,’’ he added. “Nope, I just remembered your love for ducks.’’ He had often seen Daichi at the Duck Pond last year. Jory watched as his Slythie friend began to work on his ducky sketch before he readied himself to try the spell once again. Before doing that, however, he studied his sketch once more. He spent almost a minute doing this before turning back to his mannequin. He held out his wand. "Summus Vestis!'' he exclaimed and tracing out the now very familiar Z shape in front of the thrash bag. As he waited, he silently prayed for it to work this time. Several seconds passed and no change came over the bag. It just hung on to the mannequin, not a single change.

Jory made a face and plopped down before his mannequin to study his drawing again and to consult his notebook to make sure he had the incantation and wand movement right. "Well, I've got them right,'' he muttered as he shut his book. "So it must be me.'' And then as Daichi began to speak he listened to the advice. “Sometimes it’s hard to concentrate. Your mind just wanders off, doesn't it?’’ he said as he got up again. This time he would concentrate on the sketch harder. “Let’s hope this time I’ll see some results!’’ The boy followed what his friend had said and blocked everything from his mind, concentrated and raised his wand. "Summus Vesitis!''. The Z shape wand movement. And he waited...

Deserve it? Did anyone deserve to be bitten? Was this some weird Ravenclaw thing that Kurumi didn't know about? They went around biting each other all the time or something? Kurumi figured they would claw.... anyway. "I was trying to get Aspen off of him..." So...no?

Kurumi continued to eye her sketch, somewhat surprised at herself that she had included such a girlie feature as the ribbon in the front...but she had become a little more, well, girlie as the terms went on. Not that she had ever been a tomboy to begin with.

Glancing over when Vivi borrowed one of her pencils, Kurumi watched as she filled it in with a pretty blue-green-whatever the word for that color was color. Definitely one to bring out the color of the Ravenclaw's eyes. Kurumi wished she were bold enough for that sort of neckline. Then again, her own had been a sort of tube top, which was rather bold of her. "I thought you said that this was too surreal for you," she laughed. "That's really pretty."

"Hmmm...That is probably a good idea," Kurumi nodded as she grabbed another trash bag. The one on the mannequin could at least make up for the black portion, so maybe tying another around the waist area could do the ribbon. Hmmm... Using her wand to cast Diffindo, Kurumi cut the second bag into long strips and then stood up to tie them around the mannequin in a bow. There. Now she just had to turn it into fabric.

Wand out, Kurumi traced a Z pattern in the air in front of her mannequin. "Summus Vesitis." And the trash bag turned into the top she had designed. YAY! But her ribbon was still a trash bag. Oh. Repeating the movement and incantation again, Kurumi managed to transfigure her ribbon. Now all that was left was the broach.

Aaaand, after MUUUCH deliberating, Elliot decided to make the top part all...fancy. Well, not really fancy, but like...different. She couldn't exactly explain it, but she could clearly picture it...okay....

It was going to be difficult...she just knew it...SHE JUST KNEW IT.

Sigh.

"Reverto." She swished her wand lazily, and the pretty shirt was replaced, once again, by the garbage bag. She tried to picture the shirt...exactly..in her head. But she knew...it wouldn't matter. Because all of the times before when she had clearly pictured her pretty shirt, it didn't matter..it didn't have to turn out that way. But maaaaybe, since she was getting more confident with the spell, she would be able to get it right on the first try..maybe? PLEASE?!

Aheeeem, Elliot cleared her throat LOUDLY. Whatever! Here goes nothing!

"Summus Vestis!" she cried, a bit damatically...failure was NOT an option...failure was NOT an option failure was NO-

And apparently, it was. Because the shirt didn't turn out at all like what Elliot had wanted...now, the material was stills silk, the sleeves still lace...but the top part, the part she just decided on, was not how she wanted ! UGH! So she angrily reverted it back to a garbage to try again.

"Summus Vestis!" she said, annoyed, pointing her wand angrily at the mannequin...trash bag, whatever...but since her annoyance outweighed her focus, the trashbag changed into a light blue t shirt...again..WHAAAT?!?! She had gone BACKWARDS! NO! Not acceptable...AT ALL!

So she took a deeeep breath...foooocus....foooocus! She closed her eyes, took more deep breaths...and then did her best to clear her head of everything but Transfiguration...Transfiguration, and breathing...

"Summus...veeeestis..." she said slowly, feeling much calmer...and to her delight, her garbage bag transformed into the EXACT picture she had in her head! WOW!

She must need to clear her head before each transformation...maybe that was the trick...

Eliza stepped into the homework room for Transfiguration and found it was already quite busy. She read the instructions one more time and walked over to her mannequin.

Okay, something that I would really wear, she thought. But not something so simple that it doesn’t look like I tried. She pulled out her sketchbook to brainstorm ideas.

Holding her pencil above the paper, she compiled some thoughts.
Well, I like…the night sky. So maybe I’ll put some stars on it. She wrote that down. And I like sweaters the best… Check. Might as well make it mostly navy to match my house… She wondered if when she was done, she could ask Professor Bellaire to teach her a charm to make the stars really twinkle.

She went to work on her design and when she was done, she pinned it to the bottom half of her mannequin. She thought it might help to see her design as she cast her spell on the trash bag she’d slipped over her silent helper.

That was just downright disappointing. She'd been face to face with a spare parchment and a quill for a few minutes but all she could was stare at it, meaning, she wasn't feeling creative or whatsoever. Clearly, that didn't mean anything good. She needed to finish quickly with this task so she could take care of a few others, like do the first mission Professor Bentley assigned the Herbology Task Force or get around to practicing some potions at the Laboratory.

Yes, she needed a wild imagination right now. But how would this be done?

Still hopeless, she began to play with the quill, scribbling random lines unto the parchment, creating odd shapes and polygons, and adding DOTS. Dots. Dots. Dots. She loved dots.

JUST WHAT WAS SHE DOING?! *inner flail*

She wasn't going to make a decent top with nonsense like that. With a sigh, she pressed her head on the parchment at the table.

Creativity, cometh art before theeeeeeeeeee!

Okay now to put the design into life. This will be hard, Juliet had a really hard time casting the spell back at the transfiguration lesson so she can't really guarantee herself a good result. Though this may be a simple design and it's not much work.............. yet. Yeah, she just needed a little more concentration with her design. She can manage. Somehow and hopefully. She took out her wand and looked at her parchment. Design in mind, wand on hand.

"Summus Vestis" with a quick Z wand movement.

Blink. Blink.

No luck, the plastic bag around the mannequin just turned into a grayish sort of clothing, not nearly the same design she has in mind. Argh!!!!! This is making her irritated. Why can't it just work the first time? Did she said it wrong? Was their an accent? Gah!!! Juliet pouted her lips and stared at the parchment, long enough to realize that the girl beside her table was looking a bit worried herself as well.

Juliet eyed her and then her paper, looks like she's been scribbling.... A lot. When she pressed her head on her parchment, Juliet manage to move her chair nearer to her. It's not like they're both too far away. Juliet took a glance at the girl's parchment but couldn't see her design.

"Why not try designing something............ simple" she mouthed. Would it be awkward? They both don't know each other and not from the same house. "Like a plain shirt" she added. She's just suggesting or rather helping her if ever she's having a difficult time on what to design. "Besides, once your done with the simple design, you can just add some more design for later" she nodded. Well, that's what she's doing... on her parchment. The design on her mannequin is still in the making.

Beezus had been opening and closing her eyes, trying hard to concentrate on some creative design inside her head, but there was none. Her head was blank, pitch white with swirling black mists on the side. SIGH.

Just as she had let out a small frustrated squeak, someone was moving close next to her and saying something? She groggily opened her eyes and raised her head. "Oh, hello..ermm..." What was her name again? .."Uhmm..thanks. You're right. I should probably start with a simple one." Then she eyed her parchment which apparently was full of doodle. Well? It seems like she needed a new parchment.

"Do you err...have another spare parchment?" Beezus asked, smiling shyly. "And I'm Beezus by the way. You are?"

Summus Vestis. She can do it. One more try. More concentration!

Juliet positioned her wand once again as she closed her eyes and pictured her design. She needed to do something about this. She needed to at least have a starting design. Come on. Please!!! Without further hesitation, Juliet made another Z wand movement and this time, she became more precise with her pronunciation "Summus Vestis" she uttered.

BAM!!!!

She opened her eyes and there it was, the exact same design she drew on her parchment earlier. A big smile is now planted on her face. It's a silly design but you know, at least she managed to have transfigured this plain plastic bag into something of her own. Out of her own imagination. At least now, it didn't take that long to do. Second time is a charm (???) Possibly.




Golly did she woke her up? Or maybe surprised her? "S-sorry" she apologized. It's rude of her to invade her space and especially when she's doing something. She might have hatched an awesome design and she just ruined it. NOOOOO!!!! "i didn't mean to startle you"

However the girl said her hello and it did somehow made Juliet grin a bit. Now she knew she didn't startle her nor woke her up. She was thinking of a design and hopefully Juliet managed to have helped her with that suggestion. That'd be nice. But of course, the decision and the design was still hers to make and create. this is an individual homework after all.

spare parchment?

Yup. Juliet slid the parchment out from her bag and gave one to the girl, who introduced herself as Beezus. That's a fun name, is this one of those nicknames? No? "Hi Beezus" she smiled "I'm Juliet" she also introduced herself to the Ravenclaw. Hooray for a new acquaintance!!! "That's a cute name... Beezus" it is.

Unexpectedly, her mood seemed to have lifted when she saw the girl grin. She reminded her...of someone. It was like she met her before. "Thanks Jul..." she grinned too as she received the parchment. It is okay to call her just Jul right? And no, Beezus wasn't a cute name. It was one of her annoying nicknames. What's more, she was having more and more ridiculous nicknames as months continue to pass by.

Getting rid of her doodle-filled parchment, Beezus then smoothed the new one courtesy of errr...her new Slytherin friend (we see the robes), in replacement, got her quill back in her hand and began to fumble with lines...and dots...and curves...

"Uhhmm..I'm sorry, but have we met before?" she asked conversationally, her head still buried on her work while her hands made wonders that even surprised her. There was an outline of a top on her parchment now, as though it was waiting for additional details and more specific designs.

Why, thank you for your appearance Juliet. You've become quite an inspiration.

Okay, so Logan wasn't exactly an artist, but the important thing was that he be able to actually know what the shirt was supposed to look like and how to replicate it. Of course he wasn't going to make it too busy or complicated, so he just settled on his llama and wrote 'Larry the Llama' around it. He was representing.

Not really liking how the lettering was turning out, Logan erased it and restarted on it. Naturally someone decided to talk to him, startling him and making the pencil move across the page. Darn it, more to erase now.

Looking up, he smiled at Ness, feeling odd butterflies in his stomach. "Hey there, Ness. I was hoping you would be here soon. Isnt my llama just amazing?" Harlan certainly would appreciate it. She had even met Larry over the summer.

Suddenly in a really good mood, Logan returned to his work with a smirk on his face. How perfect it was that he would be working right beside her.

"Sounds like you got caught in the line of fire," Vivi nodded sagely as she set up her notebook to stand like a little easel. It would be easier to Transfigure what was in her head if she had a point of reference and didn't have to keep going back and forth.

She blushed a bit as Kurumi commented on the top she'd designed, and Vivi wondered if perhaps it was a bit too bold on her part. Leave it to her to go from one extreme to another. Taking the end of her braid in hand, Vivi twirled it rather violently as she examined the drawing. "This is surreal, but... when we stop moving, we die. Change is movement, and graduation is change, and I might as well be willing to wear a darn ruffle once in a while in the quest to be a real adult." Or something like that. Funny how decisions made more sense before they had to be forced into words to be shared.

Leaving Kurumi to her own work, Vivi approached her Vivi-quin with renewed determination. She could cut strips to add extra fabric for the ruffles, but she wanted to try it without first. They were supposed to challenge themselves, right? And there was nothing so challenging as making a lot out of a little.

Fixing the image in her mind, she drew the Z-shape across the torso of the Vivi-quin, murmuring, "Summus Vestis." Immediately, the bag shrunk and puckered and split in all the places she thought it should, with some of the plastic near the top slipping down to help create the pretty little green flutter of fabric. It was nearly perfect... the fabric was sheer, the lines were clean, and the cut wasn't ridiculously baggy like her first attempt. Success?

"It's working,'' Jory murmured excitedly. Yes, the thrash bag was slowly beginning to take the shape of a Tee shirt. Soon, the dark blue colour started to emerge. And at that same time, he could see faint outlines of the racetrack and a few cars. Next, the left side began lengthening into white fabric. "Keep going,'' the boy said as one of the cars appeared completed with its race number and the specially designed rims he had drawn.

And then... it all just stopped.

"Come on!'' the Puff exclaimed and this time keeping his head on and remembering not to shake his wand. "Fifth year and can't get the spell right,'' he said to Daichi. Concentration was his problem, he had lost it easily just now. He was going to try this again and get it right this time.

"Here we go.'' Wand held up before him, Jory concentrated on his sketch. He tried to get as much of the details as possible. "Summus Vestis!'' he said to cast the spell then he followed it up with the Z shaped wand movement. This had to work now. Just concentrate...concentrate...

Now that the simple design is over, she needed to think of more patterns or rather designs on this clothing. It'll be nice if she made it more edgy this time. She took her parchment and tried to stare at the top that she has now transferred into the mannequin.

Jul? Short for Juliet? That's not really a nice nickname, not that her last nickname from her last school was any good but really, Jul? But anyways, it's fine. Now let's just hope she's not going to call her that permanently because Juliet is pretty much not a long name to speak.

Seeing as Beezus started drawing, Juliet returned to her parchment to try to add more stuff into her drawing. Okay, she can add big black buttons on her top. And then behind those buttons will be this black patterns in a shape of the tip of an arrow. She drew one for each button. It didn't take her long to do so since she only had 3 buttons on her design. When she was done she added a note on her parchment that the arrow like patterns shall be glittery. Yes, glitters are always cute. It adds to the awesome-ness of the clothing.

That's it, she's done with her design, all she has to do is to transfigure the added design into the top she is wearing. Just when she's about to point her wand, Beezus asked a questioned that startled her.

I'm sorry, but have we met before?

Well not that she can remember of. No. "I'm new here so, no" she replied. If she was here before, then they might have crossed paths but nope. "You've probably mistaken me to someone else" adding a nod

"That's an understatement...I think I might still have the teeth marks," Kurumi mumbled. Lesson learned though: never get between Aspen and Elijah when they were biting each other. Just let them gnaw each other's arms off. Yep.

Attention back on her top, Kurumi wondered about using this spell to make the pendant, but it seemed to be the sort of transfiguration spell that turned things into fabric, right? Maybe things like zippers and buttons would work, but an item entirely out of metal and sparkly bits was a bit of a stretch, yeah? At least it seemed that way to the Gryffindor's logic, so a different spell it was. She could still use the trash bag though...probably.

Crumbling it up a bit, Kurumi swished her wand to the left and gave it a soft tap. "Covadium." The trash bag began to contract from the middle, as if being sucked into a vacuum, until it had formed a black plastic ball. Within a few more seconds, the ball was turning spiky and the plastic turned hard and sparkly until it was the flower broach that she had sketched on her paper.

"Well, I am sure you can pull off ruffles just fine," Kurumi laughed as she placed her broach on the mannequin. "You know, in Japan...kimonos are a sign of growing up. You wear one with long sleeves that come down almost to the ground while you are young and you wear your first proper one when you come of age....sort of like you and ruffles."

Kurumi took a step back to look at her mannequin and then glanced at Vivi again. "I think I'm done....you?" Call this assignment finished and get out of here before one or both of them broke out into nervous rashes over fashion design, yeah?

A sleeveless shirt? You gotta be kidding me. Kat almost wanted to *facepalm* when she saw the result of her previous spell. No, her shirt wasn't sleeveless. No, her shirt was never sleeveless. And no, her shirt will NEVER be sleeveless. Kat admits, she's conservative and doesn't like sleeveless clothing. But she makes an exemption to grand events and everything.

"Reparo," Kat said and the shirt turned back into a rubbish bag. No matter how useful this spell would be, it was very complicated to get the perfect result. Jeez. Now, Kat wanted and was determined for this try to be as expected. She just couldn't wait to finally see a great shirt there. FOR HER.

Wand at the ready and really really really focused, Kat was ready. "Summus Vestis," she said with the Z movement. The spell hit the rubbish bag. And finally, it was a success! The rubbish bag turned into the exact shirt she wanted. Silver sleeves with the major green color. With a snake at the middle. Oooohhh... yes.

So far she had only drawn a t-shirt but hadn't added anything yet. Well, she wasn't sure what color should she use or if she wanted some kind of a painting on the t-shirt. She needed to think well because Professor Magnus said that they were going to make other garments depending on this one. so she had to be sure. And she wasn't in a hurry ,right? Unless the night came and Professor Magnus came and kicked her out.

Well, hopefully she wasn't going to get to that. Drawing some lines ,Cassia approved of some shapes on the t-shirt. It wasn't really a very cool stuff but that what the second-year could do best.

She glanced at the final layout of the top and held the parchment further stretching out her arm. Hmmm…Good. Now she had to think of colors. But before that she fished out another parchment form her bag because the previous one was full of shapes and random lines, Crossed out ideas too. So she needed to draw the layout neatly on a separate parchment. As it's the final version. She copied the layout on the other parchment and unintentionally made some changes because she simply couldn't draw the exact same thing again. Without the use of magic. She wasn't an artist and she didn't know any spell to do the copying thing. So this had to do it.

Adding the shapes on the t-shirt ,which were mostly stars and simple ornaments, Cassia smiled at her childish ,simple drawn t-shirt . She paused for a bit and then reached for her quill and drew two wings on the back of the t-shirt. She thought it'd be cool if she had wings ,even drawn ones. and now was the time for colors!

The next step on Terry's agenda was to choose the final design for the t-shirt. He had drawn it out and he could picture what he wanted in his head but he had trouble getting it onto the paper. Art wasn't something he particularly excelled at, he didn't feel like it was important and it was always Tilly who stole the colouring in book and ruined every single page with her pink scribbles, Terry never got a look in.

He took out some of his coloured ink and painted the T-shirt in a grey/green colour before moving on to his Phoenix design. He painted the body and face in red with the smaller wings and tip of his tail in a orange colour along with the beak. He gave the magnificent creature a piercing green eye. The twelve year old pulled back and looked at his design all pulled together. In looked okay and he hoped that Professor Magnus would like it. It wasn't his 'thing' after all, he just wore what his mother told him to.

He approached the dummy and picked up the plastic bag, placing it in the correct position and looking around to see that some people had already finished. he decided to practice first before finally doing the task.

"Sum-mus Vest-us" he spoke clearly a couple of times before practising the zig zag movement with his finger first and then with his wand in the air. That sounded and looked about right.

Cassia mused at her parchment with the t-shirt drawing. She had decided after those couple of minutes that she was going to color her top pale green. Her favorite color and Slytherin color. She thought of making them green and silver but that would be harder to transfigure and she wanted something she'll be able to make.

So after coloring the drawing, Cassia rose to her feet and nodded approvingly at her final design. Now it was time for some magic. Her precious parchment still in her hand, Cassia went and grabbed one rubbish bag. At class she only needed one. Because fortunately she hadn't burnt it by accident. And so she hoped ;that also now ,one should be enough.

The second-year put the rubbish bag on the mannequin and retrieved her wand from her bag. Standing before the mannequin ,Cassia cleared her throat and glanced at the design in her hand. She needed to imagine the t-shirt the real one that looked just like this design.

Hmm…she closed her eyes for a minute trying to imagine the t-shirt in all three dimensions. Cassia opened her eyes still concentrating on the mental image and she uttered. "Summus Vistis." The rabbish bag shrank a bit then stretched then shrank again then grow back to its original size. But it didn't change into the t-shirt she had drawn.

Cassia frowned at the mannequin lowering her wand. Why on Earth the rubbish bag is still like it was! She glanced at the students around her and noticed that she had missed the wand movement. Well, it wasn't the bag's fault nor the mannequin's after all. It was the wand movement's fault. Yup!

Urgh! Why did every spell have a movement! Why couldn't they be preformed just by saying the incantation.

"Pull them off?" Did that mean that Kurumi saw Vivi as a ruffle girl? A girly one? Ribbons and pearls? Merlin, she was going to vomit. She grumbled quietly to herself as she circled her dummy, checking that the hems were straight and the fabric the same thickness and texture all over. No weird puckers or stray parts that gave away that the shirt was anything other than... a shirt.

"That jacket I made had metal zippers, but they didn't turn out as I wanted. I wonder if metals are harder to make out of the plastic. Might be worth asking the professor, especially if you want to put a zipper or buttons on the bottom you make for this outfit." She was trying to be helpful, but Kurumi had managed that broach rather impressively. What was that spell? She'd have to ask later.

"I'm done," she decided, sliding the dummy back against the wall and putting her wand back in the holster. "Let's get some cocoa. Ravenclaw tower is drafty." She hooked an arm around Kurumi's and propelled the girl from the room. She had a feeling the girl would have no objection to visiting the kitchens.

Jory concentrated with everything he had. Even when his sketch began to appear. The first change that begun was the bag transforming into a Tee shirt. The white sleeves began to appear. The body of the shirt was soon taking shape, lengthening and the dark and light blue colours were becoming evident.

When the shirt and its colours were complete, the design began to take shape. The three cars were first with their outlines followed by the more intricate parts- race numbers, designs on their doors and the rims. Their respective colours were next- green, orange and red. And finally, the track emerged with the orange car in the lead while the green and red went neck to neck for second place.

And there it was, at long last, Jory's complete Tee shirt. "Got it finally!'' he exclaimed, quite relieved. He had done it!
