Miss Hogwarts
Another week of nervous waiting and practising was over as Lily was placed in her changing room. This time she would do a Galadriel. Lily was dressed in a white dress with red and golden details, and a ring was put upon her finger to represent the elven ring Nenya. Green and a shimmer of cream were put as a finishing touch around her eyes.
This time, after having showed herself in an ancient Egyptian dress, inspired by Cleopatra, as the four had to wear the clothing of ancient people who had inspired them, Lily was first on stage. She had hurriedly got dresses, got her hair done and make-up done, and bare-footed left for the stage.
"The chamber was filled with soft light; its walls were green and silver and its roof of gold." Jennifer began, as Lily had seated herself at the stage.
"Many Elves were seated there. On two chairs beneath the bole of the tree and canopied by a living bough there sat, side by side, Celeborn and Galadriel. They stood up to greet their guests, after the manner of Elves, even those who were accounted mighty kings. Very tall they were, and the Lady no less tall than the Lord; and they were grave and beautiful. They were clad wholly in white; and the hair of the Lady was of deep gold and the hair of Lord Celeborn was of silver long and bright; but no sign of age was upon them, unless it were in the depths of their eyes; for these were keen as lances in the starlight, and yet profound, the wells of deep memory." Jennifer once again stepped into the shadows to watch the rest. "The Lady of the Golden woods, Galadriel, is one of the most powerful female figures in this book. She is not fooled by what the powers of the ring keep. She is a keeper of Vanya, one of the elven rings. This she sang at the farewell of the fellowship:
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:
Of wind I sang, a wind there came, and in the branches blew.
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea,
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.
There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years.
While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.
O Lórien! The Winter comes, the bare and leafless Day;
The leaves are falling in the stream, the river flows away.
O Lórien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither Shore
And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor.
But if of ships I now should sing, what ships would come to me,
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?"
The last tones rang and they applauded her. Lily bowed elegant, as she had done before, and glided from the stage. Lily happily jogged into her changing rooms where they all practically tossed themselves around her neck. After that Lily changed into her creation for the Miss Creativity vote. It was a deep red dress, tight in the top and a flowing skirt from her thighs stopping right under her knees. The whole thing was fastened in a necklace around her neck. They had curled her hair quickly with hot curlers and fastened it on her head with several golden pins. Yvonne fastened a pair of medium sized wings matching the red and golden she already wore and a pair of golden shoes was slipped on her feet. Golden details in form of lions were spread over the whole costume-like thing. A lipstick Jennifer and the others referred to as cognac coloured was added to her lips with a flourish of lip-gloss on top. Swiftly a shimmer of misty gold circled her eyes. A knock on the door told them Lily had to go.
Outside Lily met Marilee in an ice blue dress inspired by pixies, but in a more tasteful stile. Desiree wore a flowing skirt in a deep golden brown and a long sleeved top. But Persephone probably had the most beautiful creation. The dress she wore was made of flowing white and silvery silk. Her silver blond hair laid sleek down her back, but even though she wore the highest heels Lily had ever seen she didn't beat Lily's own height.
The only flaws you could see with Persephone was her height, and the intense look in her face that made her look like dirt was constantly held under her nose whilst in their presence. The four of them went out to be judged by models, actors and actresses and people who knew about fashion before they ere released. They wouldn't know the winner until next week at the evening before the ball that would be a celebration of Hogwarts one-thousandth year of existence and of the miss Hogwarts; the school queen.
Lily never got comfortable with seeing a huge wizarding photo of herself, Marilee, Desiree and Persephone hanging in the front hall of the school castle, but Persephone seemed to be satisfied with a huge photo showing of her beauty in a place where everyone could see it. James was bragging slightly of his girlfriend, 'til Lily gave him a slap across the head.
