I couldn't help it. I laughed. The idea of being a Veela was simply too ridiculous! I mean, Veelas were Veelas because of genetic reasons - you couldn't just take a potion and turn into one. This had to be a joke!
Grinning to myself, I finished my cider and headed out into the frosty streets of Hogsmeade. As I walked along the shops, I imagined what fun it would be to wear a daring firefly dress or maybe dress up like a mermaid. Stopping at Honeydukes, I bought a box of Sugar quills and some Ice Mice. While deciding between Sherbert Balls and Ribbon Licorice (they came with miniature gummi shoes), I bumped into Adele West. Adele was a good friend and one of the most confident people I knew - she could go up to complete strangers who were visiting Hogwarts and offer to give them a tour. "Hi Adele!" I smiled.
"Hello Felicity! Listen, you know how we've been learning how to charm and transfigure clothes? Well we were planning to ask Professor Dumbledore if we could have a best costume contest at the Halloween Ball and I was wondering if you'd be interested. "
"Sure I would! Do you mean to design some or ..."
"No, actually, I was wondering if you'd like to model one?"
"Model?!" I squeaked. "That means getting up on stage and showing off the different points of a costume! Everyone would see me!"
"Oh come on now, I think that you'd be fine. You can wear a mask! I know you aren't all that confident, but I really think that the only way to get over that is by doing things like this in front of people."
"Ummm alright, I'll think about it. Can I let you know later?"
"Sure thing! I really think it would be good though. Oh, are those Ice Mice? I love them!
We chatted for another ten minutes before saying good-bye. I paid for my purchases and started back to Hogwarts.
That night, as I got ready for bed, I kept hearing a nagging thoughts.
You should, you know. said one voice
But it's so scary! All those people, all those eyes watching you! said another.
It'l be fun. When was the last you did something daring like this? It's just like pulling off the biggest prank in your life - you'll really surprise everybody! (Voice 1)
There's absolutely no way I can do this! (Voice 2)
What about using the Veela potion for fun? (Voice 1)
Ok, this is definitely stupid, I'm talking to myself. I'll just get to bed and sleep.
Somehow though, I lay awake. Finally, to quiet my own thoughts, I took out the ad again and padded down to the empty Common Room. Looking at it, I thought, so what? Even if it doesn't work, 10 Knuts isn't very much. This is just for fun, I don't have to enter the costume contest. Lifting up my wand, I recited the spell for sending money securely, waited a few seconds and said "Accio Veelify!"

To rocky, thank you for the nice review. Does it sound very cliche right now? Tell me please.
So what do you think? Please review and tell me, more details or less, and any suggestions. Thank you.
