Professor Dumbledore stood up and everyone immediately stopped eating and turned to look at him.
It was just a normal school day, what was it that he could possibly want to say?
Lily glanced at her best friend, Louise, sitting next to her who shrugged.
"Girls!" he cried out and everyone became even more confused. Why would he only want to speak to the girls? "Today we have some visitors!"
He gestured towards two people, one a woman with short, spiky red hair, the other a bald man with a camera slung round his neck. Both were dressed in designer robes but nobody had noticed them before because they were sitting in the very corner of the hall.
The woman stood up and walked forwards. She plastered a huge, fake smile on her face and began to talk in a fake American accent.
"Hey, I'm the fashion editor from Witch Weekly, we were, like, looking for some models. So if you could all, like, stay behind afterwards so we could, like, see what you all look like and whatever."
Lily glared at her with distaste. Everything about her was fake from her phoney American accent to her fake diamond earrings. Nobody spoke with so many "likes" in their sentences.
The boys trooped out of the Great Hall to their first lessons but the girls all stayed seated.
"So, if you could all, like, line up over there with, like, first years at one end and seventh years at the other end."
Lily looked at Louise with her eyebrows raised as they walked right to the end of the line where all the other seventh years were.
They stood there... and they stood there... and they stood there.
Finally the woman and the photographer reached the end.
"Hmm, a bit... barbie doll. It's been done before. We're looking for something new, something different, something... fresh!" she announced as she walked past Louise.
Admittedly, Louise did resemble a barbie doll with her long blonde hair, bright blue eyes and tanned skin. However, Louise was Californian, not plastic.
But still, did she have to insult her?
That was when Lily realised that she was the only one left and the woman was staring intently at her.
"This is it!" she said, "Finally, somebody who has that extra, like, something! You're coming with me darling! We're gonna make you a model!"
Lily looked at her sceptically but allowed herself to be led away.
Once they had left the Hogwarts grounds she was told to hold on tight to the woman's arm and suddenly she felt the familiar sensation of apparating.
What do you think? I haven't seen anything like this before so I decided to give it a try.
