Amethyst LeStrange

The Dress

*Amethyst's Point of View*

"I really don't want to do this." I said, giving the muggle bridal shop a look of displeasure. I was outside in London with Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Angelina, Lavender, Gran and Narcissa.

"Oh come on, Amethyst. Stop complaining. If you can kill, you can buy a god damn wedding dress." Ginny said.

"And bridesmaids dresses." Lavender reminded us.

"Ugh..." I groaned.

"Stop complaining. The wedding is in a 5 weeks, we need this done." Narcissa said.

We all walked in and instantly, a sales clerk came rushing to us. She had beach blonde hair up in a nice bun. She was short and narrow, and a very annoying smile plastered on her face.

"Hi! Welcome to Joan's Bridal! I'm Stacy, are you the bride?" She pointed to Ginny and she shook her head. "You?" She pointed to Hermione.

This bitch is too traditional and dull it makes me want to kill myself.

"Already married. This is the bride." Hermione said, pointing to me. I had a ton of my ear pierced. I had a black crop top which you could slightly see my violet bra underneath along with black jeans. I shot Stacy a glare through my glasses. She eyed my nose ring, then noticed the engagement ring on my hand, on my crossed arms.

"Oh. Alright. This way to the dresses." She said. Everyone went to the racks while I went to the dressing room. Soon, three dresses came in with a new consultant.

"Hi, I'm Penny. I like your hair. Sorry about Stacy." She said.

"Thanks." I pulled out a ball gown with a strapless bejeweled bodice. "Who picked this one out?"

She glanced at the dress. "I think it was Lavender or Hermione...."

"Ok, I'll start with this one."

Penny helped me into the dress and zipped me up. I looked in the mirror. I looked pretty. I guess.

Penny held up the train of the dress into the waiting room for everyone, and Stacy.

"Oh I love it!" Lavender squealed.

"It looks nice." Luna chirped.

"What do you think?" Gran asked.

"It's nice, but it doesn't have the wow factor I want." I said, tilting my head. "Maybe a different style?"

"It's not the style. The style is a classic, great for any wedding. Why don't we get another ball gown?" Stacy said.

"Why don't I jam my foot up your ass?" I snapped turning to her.

Hermione, Narcissa and Gran all gave me a warning look. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the dressing room.

**********

Many dresses later, I stood in front of everyone in a mermaid bejeweled dress that Ginny and Angelina picked out.

"I can barely move." I complained and they nodded. I groaned and walked out the store.

"Ah, miss? You can't go outside in a try on." I clerk said and I walked out.

"Does it look like I give a shit?" I asked.

They nodded and I took out a cigarette and lit it behind the store.

*Luna's Point of View*

"Should one of us go find her?" Mione said, concerned.

"I'll go." I said and stood up and made my way out.

I found Amethyst, sitting on a dumpster, cigarette in hand. She was clearly upset. We all knew that when ever she was angry she crossed her legs and her eye twitched, both which she was doing.

"Those things will kill you, you know." I said, sitting next to her on the dumpster.

"Not if the angry death eaters get a shot at me first." She replied while taking another whiff of the cigarette. "I just don't know if I can do this." She leaned back against the wall and sighed.

"Hey, there is only one dress left, and it's the one I picked out. Could you just try it on just for me?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded slowly. We hopped off the dumpster and walked back inside. Everyone was sitting down and Stacy was pacing. But before Stacy could open her mouth to yell at Ame, I stopped her. "Amethyst is trying on my dress. Penny? Could you help her?"

Penny nodded at me and whisked her away.

About 20 minutes later, Amethyst walked out in the dress I picked out for her. I was lace, puffy and went down to her knees. Penny had her wear white heels and a veil to complete the look, which Ame hadn't seen herself. Everyone was in awe and "ooo"s and "ah"s traveled around everyone.

She turned to the mirror and saw herself. Her eyes welled up with tears and a large smile was spread across her pale face. Her hand covered her mouth as she gasped.

"I love it." She said and we all nodded in agreement. I saw Narcissa dabbing her eyes with a red handkerchief.

"We all do. Who picked it out?" Gran asked. I raised my hand and everyone looked at me with amazement in their eyes.

"Do you want this dress?" Penny asked, hopefully.

"Yes!" She yelled in a loud voice. We all cheered and ran up to hug her.

This wedding is in 5 weeks.

I just hope that Ame, or Neville, will ruin it.
