Anna was standing in front of her full size mirror, watching her perfectly elegant reflection. She had to admit it, though... Remus had done an amazing job, in finding her a dress. A gorgeous piece of cloth, an elegant aristocratic gown, fitted perfectly for a princess, herself. A heiress of an entire empire.
But, Anna wasn't sure if she wanted to wear something so....royal.
She didn't know if she was fitted for it. For something so extraordinary beautiful and way too sophisticated for her 'normal' and 'mundane' nature. She didn't feel like it was made for her. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever dreamed of wearing something like that.
Ever.
You can say that in a stupid way, she kind of felt intimidated by it.
By a dress... A piece of cloth...
Maybe.... Something like that wasn't for her. Maybe the ball wasn't for her. Maybe it was too much for her to handle.
She was afraid to wear the royal dress but.... Anna couldn't say that she had an alternative option. A plan b. Or a way to avoid the event.
The beautiful material was feeling alien like on her. The creamy colored, silky and lacy gown was making her feel like a whole different person, made for a whole different world. Made for amazing things and adventures to be remembered.
The perfectly made designs was hugging perfectly every inch of her curvy body in a delicate manner that made her feel like a Goddess but without the right amount of confidence to show off the intimidating dress.

It was away too much for her and not to mention that her uninterested and exhausted mood wasn't helping in making her feel better.
But...
Anna had promised Remus to escort him. Even though, he, himself, didn't wanted to take part in it. She had sensed his hesitation and unwilling behavior to attend it, but... Remus had to go us a member of one of the most important aristocratic families in the Magical World.
He had to attend...
She didn't...
Anna let out a exaggerated breath as she looked, for one last time, her beautiful reflection in the mirror. Feeling the soft silky material of her elegant gown in her delicate hand. It was like a feather.
When Anna had walked back into her room after a long tiring day on the Academy, she was surprised when she saw the beautiful royal dress waiting for her, lying on her king size bed alongside with a small note.
