Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?
Chapter 319: Fireplace
After a late lunch with Patsy and the others, I was rushed to start preparing for the party when Bill returned from get off work.
Since I had been busy working in the suitcase before lunch, I took a shower first to wash off the sweat. Recently, I have been trying to change the formula of shower gel and shampoo while making sachets, so my skin is more moisturized and my hair is more smooth. This time I chose a slightly sweet oriental scent dominated by jasmine, and the effect was very good. I especially adjusted the concentration of the scent to avoid it being too strong and interfering with the aroma of the sachet. (By the way, my sachet has chamomile and sage mixed in addition to jasmine.)
As for the dress I wore this time, to be honest, I really struggled for a long time. You should all know my hair color (er…), it is red, as bright as flame, so it is difficult to choose the right color. Generally speaking, "red hair" usually refers to light brown hair or blonde with a hint of orange, but the red hair of the "Wesley" family is so distinctive. To match my hair color, basically I can only choose warm colors, single-tone colors, or contrasting dark green. Blue, which is a cool color, is completely unsuitable, so even the accent color gave me a headache.
However, if you choose the same color every time, it seems too monotonous and others will think you have "no taste".
The protagonist this time is Harry, so clothes that are too gorgeous are not appropriate, nor are clothes that are too plain.
After some thought, my final inspiration came from "Mermaids in Fantasyland".
She also has red hair and the unique teal color of her fins was designed specifically for her and named after her. Her fins are very similar to her color and I found the fabric and lace in the craft store that Aunt Irene took me to.
As soon as I saw the fabric, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. In fact, Aunt Irene said it would be perfect for me and ended up giving it to me as a gift.
So, I used that piece of fabric to make a simple A-line corset dress, and then made a cape with lace. Although the dress is blue, it matches my red hair and does not look abrupt, which is very suitable.
The shoes too, Uncle Ronald’s custom silver heels with subtle sequins, were very elegant.
To be honest, I was originally worried about what to do with the shoes, after all, I can't make them myself, and it didn't seem appropriate to wear second-hand shoes for such an occasion. As a result, Uncle Ronald not only made shoes for me, but also made a pair for each of my brothers and sisters, and my brothers also changed into new suits. Although he said it was to celebrate "officially joining the family" and winked mischievously at "a birthday gift for you for more than ten years", he said it very charmingly.
Also, by the way, I also made a land version of the "Mermaid in the Dreamland" skirt for daily wear, which was well received by my brothers.
As for accessories, Aunt Irene lent me the silver emerald earrings and necklace she wore when she was young. Pureblood families usually pass down such accessories from mother to daughter, but unfortunately Uncle Ronald and Aunt Irene don't have any daughters. They have two sons, who are our cousins. The eldest son, Tristan Ronald Wesley, is married and has a son and a daughter. So, in the future, these accessories will be passed down to Tristan's daughter, but she is only three years old and may not use them until ten years later. Until then, these accessories are not used, so Aunt Irene said that they can be borrowed whenever needed.
I won't wear the necklace Draco gave me today, but at the party hosted by the Black family, no one should interfere with me being introduced as his godson and "friend". Moreover, since I have officially become a member of the "Holy 28 Family", no one will take unfair measures. The guests invited to this party are all famous families, and there should be no one who does not understand these unwritten rules.
After putting on the dress, I cast a preservation spell and woven jasmine flowers into my hair, carefully decorating it. I let the braided hair hang gently on my left chest and then began to put on makeup.
Originally, Charlie helped to make the basic makeup. This time, while Ms. Clark was teaching me etiquette, she also taught me how to put on makeup. So Bill and I made basic makeup such as foundation, blush, eye shadow and lipstick (if I buy them, it will cost a lot of money...). Although this is not a formal dinner, I am still a teenage girl. It is not appropriate to wear too much makeup, but I can't not wear any at all, otherwise it will appear that I don't know the occasion. So, I chose a natural makeup to avoid excessive, but in order to prevent the makeup from looking too plain, I used an eyelash curler (I bought one again this time) to curl my eyelashes to make my eyes look more lively (keep the eye shadow as low-key as possible), and applied coral pink lipstick.
…Well, I’m a little embarrassed to say this myself, but I have to say that I have a very delicate face, and I look very good with just these cosmetics. My eyelashes are very long, and they look very bright with an eyelash curler, so I don’t need mascara. The eyeshadow is not excessive, and it suits me well. To be honest, I am not inferior to Bill in “charm”… (Of course, you are welcome to express different opinions.)
Finally, I took off the necklace Draco gave me and put on the earrings and necklace Aunt Irene lent me, which matched the turquoise skirt and shawl, making the accessories more harmonious.
——During this year, my height increased by nearly 5 cm, and I had my first period before the summer vacation, so my figure began to become more feminine. Specifically, it grew directly from an A cup to a C cup. I was taller than girls of the same age because of the Wesley family's genes, and now my height has exceeded 165 cm. It seems that my figure is almost the same as that of an adult woman. Bill and his friends still treat me as a "little princess", but I am no longer a child.
Even though I was only 13, in the wizarding world, once you had your first period or mastered it, you could start getting engaged, and even though the legal age of adulthood was 17, in pure-blood families, inheriting your bloodline was the top priority, so as long as you had your first period or mastered it, you could get married (the wizarding world was such a headache).
That is to say, as a formal member of the "Weasley family", I may be engaged at any time, which is not surprising in the customs of the wizarding world...
...If I get serious, I feel like I could really bring down the country. Depending on where I marry, it could cause a big uproar...
***
I stayed in front of the mirror for a while, and before I knew it it was almost 17:10, so I hurried to the living room where my brothers were waiting for me (because there was a portable stove there).
"Ah, Ronnie...it suits you so well. You have completely transformed into a mature lady."
As soon as I entered the living room, the person who praised me with a doting smile as if he was talking to a lover was indeed Bill.
"Wow, that's a big change, bro?"
"Yes, our little princess has begun to transform into a queen without us noticing."
"So beautiful, Ronnie. It suits you so well."
Then Fred and George began to compliment him, and when Bill finished, they all complimented me. Patsy also suited the new black dress robe that Uncle Ronald had made for him.
"Thank you, everyone is very handsome."
Like this, at a gathering with a clear "protagonist" like a birthday party, except for the protagonist, other men will basically wear black robes. This is a tacit understanding among everyone.
It is said that women could only wear black dresses in the past.
"Well, let's go to the Black's. Harry should be waiting for us."
As presents were usually sent by owl in advance, no one brought anything except their invitations (Bill only brought his wand).
Under Bill's leadership, we headed towards the Black family's main residence, "No. 12 Grimald Square".
By the way, the Black family's house is surrounded by various magical protections, and it is usually impossible to enter by transformation or "chimney flying". Only those who have the owner's permission can enter and exit, so this invitation letter is equivalent to the "key" to enter the house.
Without this "key" or Sirius's presence, transformation or "chimney flight" would be blocked.
So, this time each of us received our own invitation.
In order to avoid losing the invitation during the "flight" and not knowing where it would be teleported to, I held the invitation tightly and threw it into the "chimney flight powder".
"The Black family's main residence!!!"
After confirming that the flames had turned emerald green, I jumped into the stove.
