Emma walked into Madam Malkin's. She skimmed through the clothes boredly, not really planning on actually buying something. She was trying to save up for something big, although she wouldn't tell anyone what it was. So she was just trying to get by on all the other little things. Seeing a jacket she liked, Emma looked at the price. Five Galleons, Eight Sickels. Sighing, she tore herself away from it and moved toward a different rack of clothes.

“I’m not coming out and YOU can’t MAKE ME!” a voice echoed around the store. “You can’t even force me to GO to this bloody ceremony…I’m NOT coming out!” The voice yelled again. “Lillian Marie Ann Potter….please lower your voice. Secondly, you are going, you are being honored so you HAVE to go. Thirdly, I just want to see how it looks on you. If it doesn’t flatter you then we’ll find a new one…but you ARE wearing a dress and you WILL look like you actually WANT to be there.” A calm voice reasoned. This one was not loud and wouldn’t carry past the first couple clothes racks and that was simply because she was outside the dressing rooms. One of the dressing room doors cracked open and a head of dark mahogany hair and dark brown eyes glared at the second girl who had spoken, “I’m not wearing a dress.” She said simply and the scarlet haired, emerald eyed female outside simply laughed. “Yes you are Lily…even if I have to magic you into it. NOW, show me the dress. I picked it and I want to see my choice!” she replied and Lily glared. “Kathleen Molly Elizabeth Potter-Tripp, there is no way I’m coming out in a dress like THIS.” Lily said and Kat shrugged, waved her wand and suddenly Lily was pulled from the dressing room and standing in front of Kat unable to move. Lily glared at Kat with every fiber in her being. She was wearing a cherry red dress, that flowed to the ground, layers in the skirt over lapping each other. The bodice had a U curved top and spaghetti straps. It hugged Lily’s body and showed that she was in fact a girl. Kat sighed and reached over, ignoring Lily’s glare and protesting hands and wrapped her hair up to show what it would look like in an up-do and looked at her sister. “Add lipstick, gloss, a bit of light shadow and the right heals…and a black sash around the middle plus some black embroidery in the bottom of the skirt and the bodice…and it will be perfect!” Kat said with a smile thinking about how the modifications would be simple enough. “Oh and a slit up the left leg, to the top of the calf.” She added and Lily looked mortified. “SOMEONE HELP ME!” She yelled before Kat covered her mouth and shook her head.

Emma laughed as she heard and recognized the first voice. She wandered over in time to hear the whole conversation and stepped out from behind the clothes racks so she was visible to them. "Oh come on, Lily...it's not that bad. Plus, almost no one looks at what you're wearing when you're receiving an award for Quidditch!" she said persuasively, remembering some of the times Jake had gotten awards wearing...she shuddered as the memory appeared in her mind. Some of the most embarrassing moments of her life. "Trust me on this...wear something that won't get you on the front of the Prophet for wearing something 'inappropriate for said gender, even if it was part of a prank'...thus, a dress," she finished, hoping to Merlin that neither of the Potter twins remembered what she was referring to...the sight of Jake in a skirt, tights, and blouse was scarred into her mind permanently.

“Exactly! Besides, you have to look especially good so you don’t embarrass yourself, nor embarrass James. If you show up in sweats and a jumper…not only will YOU be all over the prophet, but people will wonder if he can be Minister if his sister can’t even accept an award without being crazy.” Kat said crossing her arms and smirking. Kat knew that Lily would not argue with her once she played the family card, especially since Lily helped James accept his nomination…without his permission of course. “You are pure EVIL! Why can’t I just show up in jeans? Jake can wear the dress! He wore a SKIRT last time!” Lily argued and Kat gave her the ‘Not going to happen, but nice try’ look. “FINE! I’ll get the bloody dress…but I’m NOT putting that goop on my face and I’m wearing trainers.” Lily said crossing her arms, her legs still stuck to the ground as she again glared at Kat who smirked, “NOPE! I’m dressing you up like a little Barbie, and you will be happy about it whether you want to or not.” Kat said with a smug smile as Lily turned her glare to Emma, “YOU! You had to ENCOURAGE her! I’m not speaking to you now.” She said before giving a HURUMPH of anger and turning away from Emma. “Ignore the Drama Queen Emma, how are you?” Kat asked as she walked around Lily, do the changes she had talked about.

"Oh, the usual..." Emma said, smirking at Lily. She shuddered at the word 'skirt'. So they do remember... "Um, Lily...think of it this way...do you really want your star Chaser to show up in a dress? That might mean he'll end up getting hexed...which might land him in Mungo's...right before your next game. So..." Emma trailed off. "Although, him being Jake, they won't stop at hexes anyway. He gets that from random people he makes mad just by walking across the street," she added, rolling her eyes. As she did, she saw a green and white dress on one of the racks and stopped to look at it. "3 Galleons, 1 Sickel..." she muttered. "Good enough for me," she said a little louder, and took it off the rack, swinging around so she was facing the Potters again. "Anyway...where were we?" she asked.

“YES! I WANT HIM in a DRESS! He shows up in a dress and NO ONE will care if I’m in SWEATS!” Lily yelled glaring at the two females before her. Kat though was laughing at Lily’s outburst, “Jake will not be in a dress, and you will. But don’t worry, I’m doing Natalie’s make-up also and we’ve already decided on her outfit.” Kat said, “And she is wearing a dress.” She added, not adding the fact that sweats would be under the dress…at least the skirt part. Lily looked at her and figured that Kat was not lying and sighed crossing her arms. “And WHY do I have to take a date?” Lily asked and Kat smirked, “Because our father is evil and said you had to and he scares like…everyone and you also aren’t allowed to take family members.” Kat said stepping out of reach of Lily as she tried to grab for her. “I’m going to kill you in your sleep.” Lily hissed and Kat smirked turning to Emma. “How is Jake taking this?” She asked, “The whole award thing.” She added for clarification.

Emma laughed at the reaction she got from Lily. "Sorry, no dress for Jake...I made sure," she laughed. She was about to add the funny part about what Jake WOULD be wearing (and although it wasn't a tux, it WAS something male), she decided that Lily would not take it all that well...she would probably have argued with Kat with that as her major point... "Well...you know, Jake's Jake," Emma said slowly, shrugging. "He'll probably laugh his way through the whole ceremony with lame jokes and faked modesty..."

“If he laughs through the entire ceremony, I’ll throw the stiletto heel that demon is making me wear at HIS head….and I have VERY good aim.” Lily hissed, her finger pointed at Kat when she said demon. Kat on the other hand was smiling and chuckling. “I’m sorry dear sister…but you know you wouldn’t be as angry if Dad hadn’t told you that it would look bad to show up without a date. And you’re just sore that Gwen’s recital is on the same night so you can’t even get away with taking Chris!” Kat said dodging out of the way, as Lily again tried to grab for her. “You are dead to me…big sister or not…I disown you.” Lily said crossing her arms…angry about how she had let Kat trick her earlier into giving up her wand.

"I disowned Jake ages ago...and if he weren't so hopelessly determined to die, I would have meant it," Emma said with a slight laugh, nostalgia kicking in. "Feel free to throw it at him...it would probably be good practice for dodging unexpected Bludgers from the other team...or from Weasley girlfriends," Emma said, seemingly having a sense of humor for once, as Jake would have put it. "So, who ARE you taking?" she asked curiously and...somewhat quickly, tilting her head to the side and attempting to not look to curious, which was a lost cause. "Not Andrew, I hope," she added with a fake laugh, trying to cover herself. ((MEANIE HEAD FACE!))

Kat laughed at the though of Lily taking Andrew as Lily stood back up after trying to lung at Kat again, her feet still glued to the ground. “Actually, she got Adam to agree to go with her. She owes him for life of course and he is getting season passes for the rest of his life and a lifetime of servitude from Lily for going…but he did agree to go with her.” Kat said smirking as Lily nodded, “I also promised him entertainment as Natalie actually is going to wear a dress.” She said, still glaring daggers at Kat.

Emma shuddered, thinking about Andrew and not really liking the memory of him. "Wow...Kat Potter-2 for 2. That's impressive," she said, changing the subject as she bowed a tiny bit at Kat as if to a queen. "How did you convince her to do that?" she asked, raising her eyebrows at Kat before glancing at Lily and then down at the dress. She played with one of the littles frills at the bottom without taking her eyes off of Kat so that she could hear the response.
