Can't stop my shine, {{Open}}

[LILY LUNA -----]

"Well that's...nice." Her father hadn't done anything like that for her. All her father did was give her money and let her do what she wanted. She pouted, and he gave her what she wanted. It was so aggravating, the slightly impersonal gifts that she got, but she guessed it was because she didn't really let anyone get to know her. It was more of a final line of defense than anything. "Yeah...I guess you could say that." Her expression changed for a moment to sadness, and then it changed back to that fake happiness once more.

Lily walked up to the counter, and smiled a faker, brighter smile. "Hi, I'm picking up the pieces set on hold for three people?" The woman nodded, and asked her for the names. "Lucian Avery, Scorpius Johnson, and Harry Potter." The woman looked at her, hearing such upper-class names, and Lily snapped at her. "Will you go and get me my jewelry, or would you like to be getting sued by the Potter family?" She snapped. She knew that Natalie had heard those names, and she knew that she would probably be asked. "Oh, and one for Lysander Scamander." She said. The woman almost stared at her incredulously, but she remembered what had happened mere seconds ago, and decided against it.

The woman took them out, put them in boxes, and then wrapped them all up, putting them in a bag. "Thank you!" Lily handed them her wizard debit card-hooked directly up to her father's Gringotts account, and rolled her eyes when the woman saw the name on the card, and saw that she had been telling the truth, and that she was Lily Potter. Her card got handed back a few seconds later, and Lily turned to Natalie, her smile looking just that much faker. "Let's go!" And Lily didn't even wait, she just pushed open the door, and waited for Natalie to come, glaring at the cashier as Natalie quickly paid for her purchases.

[NATALIE LEANA DAVIES.]

Natalie Stood beside Lilly and looked at the cashier, They were arguing, But why would the girl bother Lilly was obviously right, Natalie Trailed behind in the store a few minutes and asked them to engrave The charm bracelet, When they were done, She walked after Lilly the door slammed closed and they were out in the cold again Natalie felt the box in her pocket, She walked beside Lilly"Where to next?" Natalie said with the same false happiness Lilly had, As they walked down the street, She saw students heads turn, They of course were mostly boys turned to look at lilly, The chance that they were looking at Natalie when she was wearing this and was beside That were slim to none.

Natalie stopped in front of a designer shoe store, and looked in the window it was filled with heels, Stilettos, Gladiator sandals and Sneakers. One pair caught her eye they were pink high stilettos with red soles, That meant they were Alexander Lubumbashi, She stared at them longingly and then caught back up with Lilly.

The box felt heavy in her pocket.

Lily made her way to a small, upper-scale clothing shop that only she and a few other people even knew about, much less paid attention to. She opened the door and let Natalie pass in front of her, before heading in and going and talking to the witch. "Marie, ma chere amie! J'ai une nouveau client pour vous!" She went over to the young witch, and they exchanged air kisses. This was the woman that had made Lily a whole new wardrobe when she had become Queen B., and Lily was sure that she was one of her best, most loyal customers.

"Ma nouveau protégé a besoin d'une nouvelle garde-robe entière. Vous savez que faire." Lily fakely smiled at the woman, winking. The woman gushed, giving Lily a look of solid gratitude and went over to Natalie, starting to take measurements and throw questions out to Lily about colors, styles, and what exactly she wanted in rapid french. Lily, who, when younger, had learned French when her mother had shopped in this very store. She and the woman, Marie, had become close as she herself began to shop there, knowing that the witch was very talented in what she did.

"Oh, and Natalie, don't worry about any of this. It's my treat." Lily said, and then told Marie the same thing, letting her know that she would be paying with her card. Even though Marie knew English, she was much more comfortable in French, and after all, Lily actually did like Marie, so she spoke Marie's native language around her. Lily didn't know if Natalie was uncomfortable or not, but Marie didn't seem to take notice of if she was or not, either. Marie was a very serious woman when it came to her job, and with this client, even if she was a 'friend' of Lily, she would be treated no different.

[NATALIE LEANA DAVIES.]

Natalie only had to walk a few steps into the store behind Lilly, Then she was engulfed by people taking her coat, and taking her measurements, Natalie looked around, Lilly was talking in rapid french with a young witch . They must have known each other, Lilly seemed in her element, Natalie on the other hand felt bewildered but smiled non the less

Natalie looked at Lilly and said "Merci beaucoup" Natalie said to Lilly, That was the extent of her french, Then Natalie asked for her coat for one second, When the witch brought it over Natalie took out the box and placed it in Lilly's hand, Natalie knew the inscription said "Lilly Potter" From "Natalie" on it. She smiled kindly and said "I thought you might like it"

Natalie was again shushed by a witch as bolts of fabric were being taken out at rapid fire, Lilly was either nodding or Shaking her head, Natalie felt silks on her body as well as many other Fabrics, Some soft some rough

Who knew what Lilly would choose for her

[LILY LUNA -----]

Lily knew that Natalie was appreciative. After all, Lily Potter was buying her a whole new wardrobe, who wouldn't be appreciative of that? Even if said person didn't like her, that was a lot of money being spent on them. Maybe this was worth it. Maybe Natalie would stick around after this. Lily didn't know if this was true or not, but the seemingly-easily-manipulated girl would have to join her soon. Why? Because Lily said so. That was just how things worked around Hogwarts, end of story.

"Vous êtes l'accueil." Lily said, saying 'You're welcome' in back to Natalie. She went on to explain, though, as she nodded, yes or no, to all of the color and fabric choices. If there was one thing that Lily had, it was good taste. Expensive, but good. "Marie and I go way back. She does speak English, but she prefers French." Marie was rolling her eyes at Lily from the floor, and Lily let out a dainty little laugh. "I'm sure you'll look almost as good as me when I'm done with you." Lily said with a smirk, knowing that her handy-work would pay off eventually.

Then, Natalie passed her a box, and Lily assumed that this was what had been bought at Madame Tift's. She opened it up, and her eyes widened at the beauty of the white gold charm bracelet. It had one charm that had the word "Love" on it, the other a snowflake encrusted with diamonds. She took it out of the box, seeing that it had been inscribed, from Natalie to her, with both names on it. She smiled softly and put it on her wrist, deciding that it would be a good idea to wear it. "Thank you." Lily said, not really knowing what else to say. She shook herself out of it though, and went back to frowning at one of the other workers. "Not green! That shade would never go well with her complexion." Lily said, sighing in disgust. She turned back to Natalie, and then smiled when all the swatches were taken away, and all the measurements were done. She walked over to the counter, again speaking with Marie, too quickly for anyone else but them to follow. She was telling her all about the payments and who would pick up the large order. Lily left Natalie standing where she had been, knowing that this was more important. Pulling out her card once more, she handed it to Marie without a second glance. She didn't need to worry about money at all. She was Lily Potter, after all.

[NATALIE LEANA DAVIES.]

Natalie looked at Lilly through her side bangs , "Oh that must be nice knowing french, I know a bit but not much just the basics". Natalie stood perfectly still as they finished off "Yeah, Maybe. I cant thank you enough for this" Natalie said giving her a fake smile,. Natalie Looked at her expectantly as she opened the box, Her eyes widened and Natalie smiled in satisfaction, "You like it?". Then she put it on and snapped back into Lilly potter mode "NOT GREEN! that would never go with her complexion" She said Natalie Nodded in agreement


Once Natalie had tried to pull off a green dress, It did not turn out so well, She looked like a leprechaun Or something, Natalie laughed in her head at herself in green, Especially Bright green. She then stepped down from the Small circle she had been standing on for them to take the measurements, They had taken away all the Bolts of colorful fabrics and the measuring tape was gone and she was left alone she went to retrieve her coat from a nearby chair

As Lilly paid Natalie thought she should say something along the lines of "Thank you so so so much, You shouldn't have but she thought better and remained quiet and waited for Lilly to finish patiently

[LILY LUNA -----]

Lily smiled her usual smile. "Yes, I learned it when I was very little. Well, around eight to ten I learned. My mother was a usual customer, and instead of running around the store like a regular muggle child, Marie taught me her native language. I have to admit, it does come in handy sometimes." Lily prattled off. She was only being kind in keeping up a conversation. Once Lily was done paying, she gave Marie an air kiss on the cheek, and walked towards the door. She knew she would have to come back to collect the clothes, and that she would be the one to give them to Natalie, but that would be another day.

"Hmm...shoes? I don't feel like it." She said with a fake laugh as she walked out of the door. The bell jingled as she and Natalie walked out, and she rolled her eyes as she looked around the way-too-crowded alley. She turned around to face Natalie. "I think I'm heading back to the castle...I don't know about you, though." She said with a shrug, and waited for Natalie's answer as she stared at her nails and then looked around.
