The Conquest of the Ember Heart | F! OC x S.S. x O.G. x G.W.

Pleasing the Fire

The metal snake in the ground rose and crawled up to clear the entrance. Imelda stood there in an unusually sleek silver dress.

„Where have you been so long?" Her troubled voice brought me back to reality.

„I didn't know the password. Luckily those two found me and helped me." I told her and stood next to her.

„What a coincidence" Imelda scoffed and eyed them suspiciously.

„Thank you for your help. Sebastian, Ominis" I nodded to them and they did the same and walked past us and went down the stairs. My heart was still pumping wildly.

„By Merlin's beard, what are you wearing?"She looked me up and down like my clothes were made of straw.

„I was expecting to be overdressed, but looking at you I have a strong feeling that this isn't true." She wore a silk dress that accentuated her athletic figure. Her short black hair was loose and she looked like she had put on makeup.

It was just a party to celebrate the Quidditch tryouts, why did it have such an important status with the slytherins?

„We need to change your clothes" she remarked and pulled me down the stairs.

A small waterfall splashed next to the stairs. I hadn't had much time to look around that morning, but it was a gorgeous sight. The students wore their best suits and dresses.

I couldn't look around for a long time because Imelda led me into the girls loft and pulled me straight into the room with the inscription 6th year.

„I should have something that fits you." she stated and started searching for something in a chest.

„Didn't realize you were interested in fancy dresses and stuff like that" I admitted while sitting on her bed.

„I'm descended from pure-blooded and skilled Quidditch players, so dressing up to events is a part of it."

Pureblood. There it was, one of the words I worried most about in this wizarding society.

„Here, put it on" she picked out a dress and placed it next to me on the bed. I changed into the dress and had to look at it in the mirror.

Black velvet fell around my body as if it were molded. It was a off shoulder A-line dress with green squiggly trimmings around my waist. Imelda stood behind me and zipped up my back.

I looked at my cleavage with a sigh. The dress was beautiful, no doubt, but a little revealing.

„Thank you Imelda" I smiled and she nodded at me friendly.

„Come on, let's get you something to drink." she insisted and led me back into the common room.

Soft classical music rang out from enchanted music instruments. I looked around and the windows caught my attention. My gaze fell straight into the dark depths of the underwater world of the black lake.

Imelda handed me a green cocktail and clinked glasses with me.

„We toast to Slytherin and all our future victories" she rejoiced and held up her glass in the direction of the other students.
