After that their years passed quickly and happily. The girls grew costumed to the Hogwarts life. But when they boarded the train after their third year, they wondered if it ever would be the same again? Would people start treating them differently, now that they'd finally start thinking about their clothes, their hair and their make-up?
Their fate, it was decided, now lay in the hands of Jeannie Cimera and Tara Cedes, two of the girls in Xander's year. They had named themselves as responsible for their transformation and would aid them in their shopping at the end of the holiday.
And August loomed up quickly, and soon they found themselves stumbling into a couple of hotel rooms close to the leaky cauldron. Jeannie kindly informed them that they'd be wandering into muggle-London, she informed them that wizards could make quite grand robes and cloaks, but that was just as far as their fashion abilities stretched.
The following day they were rushed trough Diagon Alley, where they picked up their school supplies, as well as venturing into unfamiliar shops to pick up all kinds of magical beauty products and the likes. The next dawning day showed no mercy. They were sent out to cut their hair, and sat obediently in their chairs whilst Jeannie and Tara informed the hairdressers of which cuts the girls would be wanting. And throughout the whole day the hawk eyes of Jeannie and Tara followed them as they gathered information about witch clothes would be most fitting for the seven confused girls. At last they reached an agreement, and gathered the girls together in one of the hotel rooms.
Erika was told to go hunting for items that had an aspect of Asian, as Jeannie and Tara wished to underline the fact that her mother was Chinese. Also they wished for strong blues to compliment her eyes. They told her that strong reds would go well with her, and Erika grinned happily, glad to be able to support Gryffindor in her colour choices.
Lily was told to hunt for shades of green, in compliment of her eyes (Erika scowled at this, obviously remembering that the Slytherin colour was green) as well as some purples. And she was also heavily advised to be ware when purchasing anything pink, red or orange, as it had tendencies to clash horribly with her hair. They also asked her to look for skirts, wide and knee-long, and thought that a variation of dark and mysterious and pale and innocent could work wonders with her.
Drew should go hunting for fitted jeans and tops, and items of strong colouring to liven everything up, though still with caution, as not to make anything clash with her wonderful dark skin.
Lisbeth was informed that she would work splendidly with the in-fashion look, always very stylish and elegant. She could work with about every colour, but should be careful with dark clothing so she wouldn't fade away in them and make her too pale.
Helen could vary between the tomboy with baggy jeans to the drop-dead-gorgeous clad in mini-skirt, and could easily, she was informed, achieve an angelic look by only wearing something white and innocent along with her golden hair.
Wiona was told that she could bring accessories to a new level, a plain attire made up by a pair of jeans and a white top could be refreshed with a pair of extravagant ear-rings, fabulous shoes or cool scarves, mittens and hats, she was glad to oblige.
Dani could cleverly use colours with a hint of golden to bring out the bronze in her brown hair, and could preferably chose a bit exotic clothing to make herself seem mysterious and foreign. High heels should be considered.
And with these advises in mind, the girls were sent out shopping. And soon they found out that this world was a new and interesting place. Shoes and clothes and all types of accessories were godsend, and they realised, that now they neither could nor would let go of it.
On the thirty-first of June Lily, Helen, Erika, Wiona, Dani Drew, Lisbeth, Tara and Jeannie gathered together with some of their friends at a muggle restaurant. There were people from three of the four Hogwarts Houses. Xavier, Madelyn Morris and Jordan Romie represented the Gryffindor fifth years and Alley Remenie represented the sixth years. Marilee Voulige and Rosy Gates were in fourth year in Ravenclaw (Marilee was Xaviers girlfriend), and Gareth Pirelli, Esther Kimelle and Jasmine Famoul were Ravenclaw fifth years, and Henri Dupine and Philiander Brockhurst were sixth years. Elisabeth Jules was the only Hufflepuff, and a fifth year.
Jeannie and Tara proudly presented the seven Gryffindor girls' magnificent transformation. Of course, they had been beautiful from their first Hogwarts day and before (many boys had had secret crushed on the girls), but now their looks were heavily underlined and presented openly for Hogwarts and the World to see.
