Year 2: Chapter 3

"What about this one?"

"Amanda you cannot go down dressed in your Hogwarts uniform."

Andromeda smiled as the girl made a face and jumped back behind the clothes. They had been in here for ten minutes already and had yet to find what they were looking for. They needed something that suited her and yet fitted with the rest.

"Andi what are the others wearing?"

"Well Peter is in Black and Sirius is in yellow."

"Ha ha ha. That is so not what I meant and you know it. What are the girls wearing?"

"Well Bella is in a turquoise robe, and Narcissa is in a pink one. I'm wearing the blue muggle dress that Ted sent me for my birthday and your sister is in green."

"Ted, why did he send you a muggle dress, that is unless he wants you to meet his parents, but why would he want you to do that unless…"

"Shut up Amanda!"

"You're not, are you?"

Andromeda blushed as Amanda stuck her head out from behind the clothes. She knew Amanda had picked up on it.

"How long Andi come on details."

"Well four months,"

"Four months and you haven't even told Sirius that's incredible."

"You won't tell anyone will you?"

"Of course not, I can't believe it though, you're so lucky nobody will ever look at me, they'll see my family and do a runner."

"Amanda, we're from the same background guys will like you and you never know maybe you'll end up with Sirius and then you'll both complain about your families."

"Sirius! Yuck! He's my friend I could never go out with him."

"Amanda Ted was my friend."

"Call me Mand."

"Well Mand now what should we put you in?"

"I know what about this."

Amanda pulled out a muggle style lilac dress; it was a soft colour that Andromeda thought would suit the girl's colourings. The sleeves were three quarter and looked a bit young in style but yet not too young.

"Where'd you get a muggle dress?"

"Lily bought it for me."

"Well its perfect and look put these white shoes on and we'll go down."

Amanda pulled the dress over her head and watched as it fell to rest at her knees, it was slightly tight along the chest and showed the early signs that she was indeed growing from the child she was into the teenager she would soon become.

Pulling her hair out from inside she let Andromeda pull the zip up the back and looked into the mirror, it suited her well Lily knew her muggle fashion. Quickly she slipped her feet into the pure white sandals and followed Andromeda out of the wardrobe.

The pair left the room in giggles as they made to join the others each wondering what tonight would bring.
