Things Are Changing

Third Person

"I-I'm free.... E-Ellie...... I-I'm finally f-free......"

Harry whispered with heavy admiration and joy as he let his tears go. Elena squeezed him a little bit more and brushed her fingers over the scar on the back of his neck as he let it all out. She felt so content, so much better than before now that she knew Harry was safe once and for all. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder and whispered in return,

"Yeah y-you are Harry.... yeah you a-are"

Harry slowly relaxed his hands from balled up tense fists and allowed his hands to slowly spread out again, the one on her waist rested gently on her side and the one around her head was very gently behind her head. She was feeling him relax and it was making her relax, nothing else mattered to them except each other right then. Harry didn't care that his back was pounding from the lash Uma gave him and all the pressure that had been around his body mere minutes ago, all he really cared about how safe he felt right there.

The two suddenly heard the audience lightly gasping, because of this the two separated a little to see what was going on and Elena opened her eyes and looked around a little. Everyone was staring at them, but with one little glance down she knew why they were becoming stunned once again. From the bottom of her soaked and torn-up dress came a shimmering white sparkle that was climbing up rather quickly. Her bare feet suddenly had clear glass-like slippers with small crystals adorning them that weren't there before. Elena looked a little bit in shock as it began swirling up her legs to her torso, all while taking the old dress and turning it into something new, something that fit her better.

Her glittering magic was turning her already beautiful blue dress into a long graceful white gown, a sheer layer of crystals covered a white base with a leg slit in it. The bodice forming underneath the sheer layer of crystals was in a corset-style top with an elegant and classy plunging neckline. The sheer layer wrapped around one of her arms as a sleeve and spread back as a little train.

The magic swirled up to her hair and spun around it, leaving her hair no longer wet and braiding a crown of sorts into it with the sash tying it up into a neat bow. Then the magic finished the job by swirling atop her head, revealing an ice crystal crown that sat delicately in her snow-white hair. With that, the swirling magic flew out and dispersed gracefully in the air. Elena who was absolutely stunned looked down at herself and picked up the corners of her dress,

"Uh... I didn't know I could do that"

Elena said with a little giggle, the crowd was just as if not more in awe than she was at what her magic had done all by itself. Harry looked at her in awe and just looked up and down a few times, his arms were still around her a little bit with his arm refusing to slip off her waist just yet. He took a long sigh and stared at her all over as everyone was whispering things about the two as they spoke,

"Wow....... beautiful... so extraordinary"

Harry muttered under his breath, not intending on Elena hearing but with her keen ears, she heard him. Elena looked up at him and giggled a little,

"Beautiful? Extraordinary?"

She asked with a tilted head of curiosity. Never such words have been told to her from someone outside of her most inner circle. Harry looked back up at her eyes and tilted his head a little at her too, feeling slightly embarrassed that she heard him,

"Yeh... everything y-ye are is j-just that, b-beautiful and extraordinary... and for the record, y-yer anything but a m-monster, e-especially with a h-heart of g-gold like yers"

Elena giggled and looked down at her feet and kicked around some, her pale cheeks not so pale anymore. The other VKs slowly made their way over to Elena, Harry, and Nokk as the rest of the crowd was still too stunned to do so themselves. Mal in her new gorgeous purple and black gown chuckled some in disbelief,
