^^ this is what inspired the Dark Lord's Estate

The sales ladies hurriedly searched through racks and racks while I sat patiently sipping from my flute of strawberry champagne. The gowns floated past me one at a time, twirling and hoping to catch my attention, but nothing seemed adequate. Although things between Tom and I had improved and he was beginning to spend more time with me, I could not deny he had been quite right about his accusation the night of our argument. I hated to admit it, but I had nothing better to do besides wait for him to finish work and spend time with me. Worse, I was beginning to despise myself for it.
Before the news of our engagement had been announced I used to be a well-rounded person with hobbies and interests of my own. I used to love potion making and reading and learning. But ever since the wedding preparations and the whirlwind of moving in with the Dark Lord, it is like I had lost a part of me that I loved so much. I did not like the woman I was in the process of becoming, one who spent her time waiting on her husband, one whose entire world revolved around her husband. No, I wanted my old self back. Merlin, what had become of me?
"Oh, this one's lovely miss!" Dellara beamed at the sight of a puffy pink gown. Not too long ago, I would have thought so too, but my tastes were different now. I was too old for frills; I was even starting to grow tired of those tight, sexy, lowcut numbers I had been sporting but weeks ago. Now, I was interested in something more refined. Something classy, more womanly, sexy with subtlety.
