"Are you nervous?" Ellie questioned Colin, still looking at Ceaser Flickerman from backstage. Soon Blaise Zabini will be done with his three-minute interview and she would have to hobble on stage filled with never-ending nerves. Colin didn't answer her making it obvious that he was still upset with the last stunt she pulled. Ellie gave a huff. "Colin, cut the crap. I let the games get to me and I'm not sorry. I'm fighting for my survival."
"I'm sorry, Blaise, the audience and I are most in love with you," Ceaser frowned at Blaise, "But sadly, your time is up!" Blaise only nodded arrogantly and walked off. "Now, let's welcome one of the four lovely women of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Ellie Potter!" Ellie swallowed harshly making her throat uneasy with pain. She walked, trying to be elegant, out on stage.
She shook Ceaser's hand uneasy and shaky. She was unsure of what to say. Wasn't this Lilacs job? Practice the interview? Make her fabulous? Make her get sponsors? Ellie looked at the audience and flashed a brilliant smile to make up for her awkwardness. After, she sat down and said hello to him softly.
"Now," he smirked. "Before we start, I must say myself your outfit is outstanding." The audience roared like they roared at everything. Ellie nodded.
"Well, it's all thanks to Juno, my stylist." She giggled, winking at everyone. "He certainly is artistic!" That was the first thing Ceaser says out of all the interviews, making comments about the outfits. She wasn't lying, the dress was sexy. It ended mid-thigh, and it was made of red designed silk. The dress was also strapless, making Remus a little upset. He thought between the five-inch red heels and the short dress was enough to kill him. Not until he saw the dark luring make-up, at that point he was completely dead.
"I couldn't agree more!" He smiled widely. He leaned in more, touching her knee softly. "As I may recall, you got a perfect nine. Mine sharing how you got that nine?" He eyed her. Ellie was unsure of what to say.
"Well, Ceaser," she chuckled. "I can't say, now can I? If I spoil the surprise, what kind of surprise will it be? You know…all spoiled!" She laughed cutely. "You'll just have to wait my friend!"She looked out into the audience, spotlight blinding. She gave another cute smile. "You'll all be most please with me." She gave another wink, but this one was sexy…not cute...sexy. The audience went wild again and Ceaser chuckled.
"You must be a handful at home!" He pointed out. Ellie forced her smirk.
"I guess I am if you ask my Uncle and Aunt! They'll give you many stories." Ellie smiled. Ceaser nodded.
"That is correct, forgive me my Hun, but I forgot," he frowned. "Your parents, they are deceased. Now, do you think that'll affect your performance tomorrow?" Ellie quickly thought of an answer. She shook her hand.
"Not negatively," she smirked. "I know that they are looking over me every step of the way. I feel they give me guidance when I need it. So why will they stop now? They only affect me with positivity."
"That is a brilliant outlook." He nodded intensely. He looked far interested in Ellie's answers where in reality, he probably wasn't. "How about your brother?"
"He only drives me to do all I can to come home." Ellie smiled.
"Perfect. I wish you all the luck in the world, my Dear." He winked. "Now, let's give it up one last time for Ellie potter!" She stood up and bowed.
Ellie hurried off stage, heels clicking harshly against the marble floor. She stopped and looked at Colin.
"Good luck," she smirked. "You'll do fine!" He nodded and she walked fast to the elevators.
"Whoa," she heard a snort. She turned and saw District one, Marvel looking at her. "Somebody actually looks nice for once. You know? Instead of that same old ugly face. The makeup really covers all that up." Ellie looked around, it was only him.
"Listen, I'm not up to hear your shit." She sneered. "I've had a long freaking day and I'm not afraid to show my frustrations on you!" Marvel huffed and pushed past her.
"Whatever," he laughed. Ellie turned around ready to throw angry birds at him until there was a slight cough.
"He's not worth it!" Ellie smiled and turned around again to see Remus frowning.
"Don't worry, I'll get him soon," she laughed walking to the elevators. Remus put an arm around her.
"Please don't let the games get to you," he sighed. "Please, I beg you. If you come home, please don't be changed." He smiled. Ellie nodded walking in.
"I'll see what I can do," she was the last thing she said to anyone that night.
