Chapter 19
We walk throw winding hallways and up large staircases and finally through double doors. "What was the point of that?" Pansy asks. "So if intruders get in they get lost and die of starvation before they can find and kill us" says a lady from behind us. We turn around and a tall beautiful blonde woman in gold and blue robes. "You're Grace." my mother says with a slight bow. "Lady Richards what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?" she asks. "My daughter," she says pulling me to her "is in need of a wedding dress. She had one but it did not fit right." "Well she will need one based on her Nymph power. Am I to understand she is a Water Nymph?" she asks. "That's the thing...she was an Angel Nymph..." she says before getting cut off. "Was?" Her Watery Grace says with a raised eyebrow. "She had a panic attack and said unfortunate things. St. Valeria took the powers away for some time. She must earn it back." my mother says. "I see." she says looking me over. "Well then we shall call on my sister the best dressmaker underwater." she says. She blows a bubble that flies away. A few minutes later the bubble is back and when it pops there is a beautiful woman who looks no older than 32. She had short blonde curly hair styled like she was in the 60's still. She was pretty but I doubt she has seen the above world since then. "My my dearies! You look wonderful. What can I do for you today?" she asks in a chipper voice. "Well I need a wedding dress. I lost my Nymph power so my mom took me here. She's a Water Nymph." I say trying to hid most of what happened. "Well dearie that's no problem I'm sure me and my Assistant, Emma, can find you something." she says. "Thank you Madam Waters." my mother says. "Oh my Julia how you have grown. I remember making your gown. Of course then I had no assistant and 500 orders. Now I have one assistant and 400 orders." she says with a laugh. By the time she is done talking we are outside a set of doors with a sign over it saying 'Madam Waters Magical Wedding Emporium'. We walk in and there is a girl behind the front desk with short straight blonde hair and grey blue eyes, she has high cheek bones and a sharp nose that a pair of wire rim glasses sits on. She takes off her glasses as she looks up. "Madam Waters! Back so soon?" she says. "Yes Emma dearie my sister had some friend she wanted me to meet who were looking for a dress. This is...oh my I didn't catch your name." she says turning to me. "I'm Adrienne Richards. This is Pansy Parkinson, Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Luna Lovegood." I say again. "Ah yes Adrienne!" she says as if she knew the whole time what my name was. "Well what can I get you?" Emma asks. "No no dearie I'll handle this one!" Madam Waters says. "Yes Madam Waters." Emma says going behind the counter. We walk over to the sitting area with dressing rooms and large mirrors. "Emma Dearie, get my measuring tape." she says with a wave of her hands, almost hitting Pansy. Pansy glares at Madam Waters until I nudge her. Mother and the girls sit on the little couches as Madam Waters takes my measurements. "So what dearie, do you want?" she asks. "I would like a wide, low back, flowing and a V-neck." I say. She goes out of the room and comes back with white material. "I've decided to make your dress from scratch." she says as if she's very proud of this. "Good. Only the best for my girl." my mother says. She starts waving her hand and cutting the dress shape with wandless magic.
