Taking a deep breath, Lila slowly began to relax. Her mother had given her some meditations to do, but with the charged energy backstage it had been hard to find her inner peace. Rigby had choosen her to model her Geisha inspired wear because she felt that Lila was the perfect mix of West and East, her mother was orginally from Japan but had met her English father at Hogwarts more than 20 years before. Therefore Rigby felt Lila would be the best model for a clothing line that was the same mix as her genetic background.

Peeking throught the red curtains, Lila saw her parents seated in the second row. Her father was in the fashion business and was already speaking to Ravenclaw's Head of House, Lily, about carrying some of their designs in his stores. Lily was beaming as she nodded her head to whatever Lila's father was saying. This fashion show was turning out to be a great success! Lila smiled at her mom, her mother's dark eyes twinkling. Rigby came up behind Lila, and yanked her back, with a warning that is it was almost show time. Rigby retied her belt for the ninth time, trying to get it to hang just right, until finally Lila had to smack her hands away. "Don't worry, Rigs, I look great. All our models look great. Calm down. Go to one of the merchandise tents and do a little retail therapy!" The look Rigby gave her cleary showed that scenario was not likely to occur in the near future. Lucky for her though, Rigby spotted someone who most certainly did not belong backstage and rushed off to send them back to their rival's tent.

Lila took her place backstage and looked at the beautiful asian scene the Ravenclaw Cheer squad had designed and painted. It would make a beautiful backdrop for her catwalk. She reached up and patted her sideways swept hair, checking to make sure it was all in place. It looked soft and beautiful but in truth it was hard as a rock, and not even a wind storm could probably move it. She did a quick practice twirl, loving the lightness and feel of her pants as the material floated around her. She had never felt so pretty in her live, since she was normally a jeans and tank top girl most of the time. Lila was going to have to find a way to convince Rigby to let her keep it, or talk her parent into upping her allowance.

Lila watched as the house lights were dimmed and her music came on. She took a brief moment to perfect her posture and then emeged from backstage just as the curtains opened to reveal the runway backdrop. There were gasps, and plenty of claps as the announcer began detailing her outfit. She struck some carefully choreographed poses, making sure that her eyes showed lots of emotion. Then she began her stride down the catwalk, one hand on her hip, the other swing gracefully in time with her steps. She spun every fifth step to show off the movement of her clothing. She could hear Rigby screaming excitedly in the background. As she passed her parents she paused, taking time to pose and to throw them a special smile and hoping that they would see how truly awesome she looked so that they would be compelled to buy the attire for her. She winked at her mom and then continued down the catwalk. Rigby had allowed her to pick out her own runway music, and she felt the rythem pumping through her as she made her way to the end of the catwalk.

Lila was in her element as she struck poses and cameras flashed, forever immortalizing her image. She spun around and starting gliding back down the runway. Rigby had started a fog machine when she began her walk so that Lila would be able to disappear into a mist as she exited. She entered the mist and for just a moment she lost her sense of direction. She heard Rigby shouting "over here!" and followed the sound of her voice. One of the other models tugged her arm and pulled into the safety of the backstage. Lila giggled and collapsed on the floor, legs and arms akimbo. Rigby shook her head, but she was laughing as well. Helping Lila off the floor, Rigby pulled her into a hug and told her what an awesome job she had done. "Now get out to our merchandise tent and sell that outfit!" said Rigby, and Lila nodded, hoping that she could also score one of those Ravenclaw Balloon Witches Hats for her little sister.




Catwalk Music:

Hustle Rose by Metric

Behold the fishnet girl tonight
Hustle Rose goes from limb to limb
Fingertip to painted lip she sways her way up to him
Says, "Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out"

If you're looking for something life-like
Hit a sardine nightclub
If every surface you touch is cold
Never go home
He says, "I can't feel a thing, my dreams are so tight
Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?"

Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out
You're gonna wanna wear it out

You could throw me a bone
If I get too close you wake me up
Remind me softly to go
If I forget won't you wake me up
Remind me not to feel a thing
Keep the dream tight
I can't feel a thing
My dreams are so tight
Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?
