No number of locking charms or repelling enchantments make it secure enough. He checked the all corridors that lead to his quarters, not to mention open windows and all the supposedly abandoned rooms. There was nothing, he took a deep breath and went to padlock the last door and shut the curtains. It was now or never, he looked over his shoulder before opening the wardrobe.
She had to believe no one was around, she would never be able to go through with it otherwise. She looked at her figure in the full length mirror. It reflected her naked body and called her beautiful. The first time it had said it she had thrown her hair brush at it, she wasn't beautiful she was wrong. She shouldn't have been made this way, she would never understand how other people couldn't see that.
This was the worst part, he had never got the hang of stockings. Fishnets were the worst. He swore as he caught his thumb in one of the loops. He had to remember that it would look good in the end and that was why he was doing this. He'd tried the outfit without the fishnets, it had just screamed out to him that it was missing something.
She pulled at the bandage, it had to go tighter. The mirror showed her profile. Her chest looked almost flat. She pulled harder on the strapping, determined to chose the shape of her own body. With a sigh she pinned it, her chest rose and fell with the tight bandage constraining it. She pulled on a shirt and imagines herself as she should be, she can almost believe it.
The spell pulled it together, completing the outfit. The lacing scrunched his skin and the corset modelled his shape. All that was left to do was give himself his face. He brought out a box, which lives in the furthest corner in the bottom of his wardrobe. The handled it's contents expertly and soon the make-up transformed his face. He lined his eyes with black and his lips were coloured in a bright red. He was finished, and it was perfect, from the suspenders to the pale foundation. The only thing he wished he could change was his hair.
Her face was still far too feminine, her delicate jaw bone stood out. Her hair had been cut months ago, it was neither male or female, it suited her. She smiled at this person in the mirror, she quickly knotted the bowtie. She tried not to look at the curve if her hips. You could barely see it, but to her it was so obvious. Her smile was now fixed and would stay that way.
There had been no sound, until the tap of hand on the wood of the open door. Snape spun around to glare at the intruder.
"Headmaster?"
"Sorry to interrupt you, Severus, but there is a spot of bother over at Slytherin" Professor Dumbledore answered calmly "I fear your presence may be required. Lemon drop?"
Snape declined the Lemon drop and wished the Headmaster would stop looking at him, it was very disturbing.
The knock was exactly on time.
Cho opened the door cautiously. Luna stood in the corridor and smiled when she saw her. Before she new it Cho was lost in Luna's lips.
Luna didn't see the curve of Cho's hip or the small mound of her breasts, she just saw Cho.
