"Sari!"
"Dress!"
"Robes!"
The three old ladies were yelling so loudly that Yuh Min and Mei Hui, the house-elves, came running in alarm to see what was going on.
"What is all the noise, mistresses?" squeaked Yuh Min.
"We're trying to decide what Kiree should wear for her wedding," explained Trisha Diablo.
"Fine then! A sari it is!" sighed Khristina Teo.
"I'm glad you didn't insist that she wear a dress," grinned Dhalia Diablo.
"Well, quit the quarrel. The problem now is- which sari?"
"I don't know, but it has to be a white one. That helps a bit," said Khristina Teo thoughtfully.
"There's lots of white saris! It's going to be hard to decide what material we want it to be," retorted Dhalia Diablo.
Trisha Diablo and Khristina Teo looked at her as though she had sprouted rainbow hair.
"What? Why're you looking at me like that?"
"The sari........is......a.......silk......one. The sari.....is a.......SILK ONE!" roared Khristina Teo.
"Did you honestly think we'd have her wearing a NYLON sari at her own WEDDING?!" screamed Trisha Diablo.
"Sorry.....forgot! So, how many white silk saris are there?" asked Dhalia Diablo.
"Twenty-eight exactly!" groaned Khristina Teo.
"Oh no!" moaned Trisha Diablo.
"Hey! If we decide on what pattern we want it to be, we can select a sari faster!"
"That's a great idea, Dhalu, but a pattern we all agree on......"
"White and gold!" they said together.
~ ~ ~ ~
A few minutes later, all three of them were at the family sari-wardrobe.
"Hmm.....there are exactly seven white-and-gold silk saris. Which one would suit Kiree best?"
After a long debate, they picked the same one-a old family heirloom sari.
It was still very beautiful. The colour was white, but the fine, fine gold check lines on it made it look like cream. The lining was gold, with a delicate pattern of dainty golden daisies, around which were entwined fine, curvy golden lines. The lining and the gold check lines on the white part gleamed when turned at a certain angle, which gave the whole sari a sort of golden glow, rather like sunlight.
"Your littlest girl's going to look like a goddess in this, Trishu," Khristina Teo sighed dreamily.
"Yeah. It'll really bring out the gold colour of her hair, and the ivory colour'll set off those deep blue eyes of hers nicely," Dhalia Diablo commented.
"But what will she wear at night? And on all the days before the reception?" asked Trisha Diablo.
"Nylon of course."
"White?"
"No way. She'll look like a ghost if she gets up in the middle of the night to get a drink or something! Besides, white nylon doesn't look all that fine, and the Blacks will want her to look like one of them!"
"What then?"
"Something in a darker shade.....black will feel too warm, and white too cold!"
"She needs to feel just right!"
"I've got it! Royal blue! It'll be in a dark colour, and not too warm, but not too cold either! And it'll suit her!"
"Brilliant, Dhalu! And she can do housework in it too!"
"Though that's highly unlikely. The Noble and Most Ancient Blacks won't want one of them doing housework if they can help it!"
"Yeah, I meant if they make her do any work at all!"

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Shailee, Shanice and Shoomy were howling with laughter.
"And," shrieked Shoomy, wiping the tears from her bright brown eyes, "I said to her, I said, Britney, if you want to go out with James, you have to dye your hair red and wear emerald green contact lenses, so you look like the girl he REALLY likes! No, wait! That's impossible, because there was, is and always will be one, and only ONE, Lily Evans in the whole world, and that's my sister's best friend!"
"And the fool," added Shanice, overflowing with laughter, her shoulder- length, jagged-ended, shiny brown hair greatly ruffled, "she went and followed your advice, she was so eager to get James to go out with her!"
"You should have just given her the usual ting-tang treatment," laughed Shailee, straightening her glasses, "but I'm glad you didn't, because what happened the next day was tan hilariante!"
"Yeah!"
FLASHBACK:
"James! James!"
"What, Britney?"
"BRITNEY?!
"What?"
"WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU DONE TO YOURSELF?!"
~END FLASHBACK~
"Ahahahaha! Then....Lily.....came...up.....and....Ahahahaaaahahahaaaa!"
~ ~ ~
Sirius and Lila, meanwhile, were howling in the other room.
"Haaahahahaaahahahaaaa! And Malini Chachi said she stayed like that for weeks on end and everyone was so confused as to who was who!"
"Not James, though," laughed Sirius, "he could always tell one from the other, because his heart knew who his Lily was!"
Sirius had never had a better time in his life, although he had just met his daughters a few days ago. Lila was ten, and Sandy was seven.
He had slept with Kiree twice in Azkaban-once when she had been tossed in there for three days five years after him for trying to get him out and once four years later, when she had been tossed in again, this time for two days(obviously because they were scared of her brothers :)) on a very trumped-up charge- for 'being an accomplice to murder' as they put it, just because she had been his girlfriend in their last three years at Hogwarts and until he had been thrown in.
I'll give you a longer one next time, I PROMISE!
