***Chapter 5***
The next few days drifted by at a leisurely pace, and on Wednesday evening, Selina lay on her stomach on her bed, staring off into space. He room was so littered with clothes that the floor was barely visible, as her mother rummaged through her wardrobes for a 'suitable outfit' for the dinner at the Malfoy's. Selina had her wand out, and was lazily flicking all the 'pretty frilly things' into a pile in the corner, endeavouring to vanish them one by one.
"Ah hah!" came Mrs Galladen's muffled voice, and Selina turned to see that her mother had almost entirely disappeared inside the wardrobe; just her pointy shoes and rear end were visible. She shuffled out backwards, and walked over to the bed, brandishing a bunch of clothes and a wide grin. "Come on! Get up and changed!" she said, throwing the clothes to Selina, who just let them fall onto her head. "I'll be back in a half an hour to see how they look," Mrs Galladen said, and Selina heard the tapping of her shoes promptly fade.
"Why is she so obsessed about how I look!" Selina muttered, chucking the clothes to the side, and rolled over to look at what her mother had selected. There was a bundle of black, and two larger bundles of dark purple. 'Wow, quite the contrary to your usual colours, mother,' Selina said aloud, but didn't bother to investigate them further until after her shower.
Following a shower, Selina wrapped herself in her silk dressing gown, and went to her room to get ready. She sat in front of the mirror at her dressing table, pondering where to begin. Her long hair was dripping down her back, so she took her wand and performed an instant drying charm. Then, with a complicated flick of her wand, she manipulated her hair into soft, bouncy curls.
She turned to the mirror to admire her hairdressing skills, then went on to apply a little make up.
She had just finished with a coat of gloss on her lips when her mother barged in. 'You're not even dressed yet!" she huffed, but then her expression softened as she took the time to take in the full, blossoming beauty of her daughter. Selina looked back, and thought- but wasn't quite sure- that she saw a hint of sadness in her mother's eyes. 'Your...your hair looks lovely curled,' she said softly.
'Thankyou,' Selina replied.
Mrs Galladen then walked over to stand by Selina, and examined her daughter's reflection in the mirror. 'You could perhaps go a little darker in your makeup, you know,' she said, 'after all, you are growing up.'
Selina was quite taken aback by her mother's sudden change in frame of mind, but she wasn't complaining.
"Accio eyeliner!" Mrs Galladen said, and a thin, black pencil came pelting like a bullet towards her. She caught it, then gently turned her daughter's head to face her. She then went to work, lining Selina's bottom lashes, then her top, and smudging it into the crease of her eye. She then turned Selina to face the mirror.
The smoky appearance of her eyes was amazing, and she now appreciated her mother's interference, for once.
Mrs Galladen smiled, then stood up and walked out of the room. Selina didn't need to be told again; she jumped to her feet and quickly got dressed.
She then went to look in her full length mirror; she wore fitted robes of deep purple, which she left open; a long skirt of the same colour, and a black top with a (surprisingly) revealing neckline. Selina now appreciated her mother's fashion senses.
