Accept it. Like you made him accept pie. Severus takes the shoe but has a moment of 'ugh shoes on table', apparently, because he scoots a pie plate away and sets said shoe onto a napkin. He has to get his wand out for this, which he does, and with one elbow resting on the table, Severus begins tracing complicated patterns in the air. After a moment of that he says something that might be Latin but also might be older than that (it's always a gamble, with Wizarding UK magic).
Charles's shoe shudders like it's got a cold. Then it scrunches inward. It turns white. A grey stripe of hair sprouts all along top of it; laces zip into its mass and vanish at the same time as something long and thin shoots up from one side. The whole thing shudders again and in a blink--

There's a lemur on the table.
