GRYFFINDOR Teen Fashion

::WL got ready backstage and apparated to the left hand G sign. Her skateboard in hand, she made sure her jeans were not falling off and made her entrance onto the stage. The stage crew gave her a small push, and she glided onto the catwalk on the board. She wore a pair of faded jeans that were slightly loose, but hung lightly on her hips. She sported the latest trainers from G+G worth £70 from any designer store. Her tee shirt was fitting, but stretch, made from soft silk and polyester. An NY baseball hat was tilted stylishly on her head. A BabyGG was strapped around her slim wrist, so that she, just like any other teen of the street could be “fashionably late”…WL reached the end of the catwalk, and stopped the skateboard, kicking it up and posing with it to the audience. Grinning, she pulled out the newest Motorola cell phone from her pocket and flashed the cute G+G trinket to the crowd as she pretend-talked on the phone, while twirling and showing of her silver belt as she stretched and checked her watch.

::Waving to the audience, WL gave her shoes a sharp tap together and wheels sprung out from the bottom. She gave the crowd a flying smooch, grinned and tucked her board under her arms as she skated back up the tail of the G catwalk. Halfway back, she twirled around on the skates and gave the crown a last look at the clothes she was wearing::

June gave WL a little wave as she returned backstage. June, seeing her cue, apparated out onto the g+g stage set and walked along the g shaped stage. As "Since You Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson played on the loud speakers, June walked and posed along various parts of the stage.

The commentator said: "This outfit is part of a new collection by G+G called Teen Fashion. This tubetop dress has stripes of pink, green, and yellow on the top, and a billowing pink skirt made of silk on the bottom. The tubetop dress conforms to your upper half, so Ladies, there's no need to worry that it'll fall off. A pair of strappy sandals completes the pretty picture, priced at a reasonable 30 galleons. The designer tubetop dress is priced at 79 galleons and 16 sickles. The dress can be accesorized with an exclusive G+G little pink rose hair pin that costs 6 galleons and 4 knuts. All in all, an absolutely gorgeous outfit."

As the commentator finished the speech, June twirled a bit so that the skirt of the dress flowed outwards and then turned around to saunter towards backstage. As she walked, thornless roses appeared above her head and fell onto the stage. Grinning, June apparated back backstage, leaving the audience to marvel at the charmwork.

Swift acted quickly - those roses were her cue to whisper furiously into the microphone to her crew.

"Lights, quick! And where's that music??!" The rest of the backstage crew looked on with amused expressions as Swift waved her arms up and down in the air. "Guys, come on, this was supposed to be a smooth transition!"

"Okay, okay..." The lights went down, dim and of low intensity.

She smirked, feeling them roll her eyes at her. With her hands on her hips, she waited for the slow ballad to start. It was the epitome of teenage romance, that sickly thing that made Swift want to vomit, teenager herself or not.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon..." she whispered more to herself than to the others around her. They watched as the lone spotlight followed the roses as they rose above the stage...

"Now?"

The roses had now reached the balcony.

A pause, then, "Now!" The lights suddenly came up, bright and joyous. The roses had vanished, and 'Hey Mickey!' was blaring from the speakers.

Swift gave a thumbs up to her crew, then nodded discreetly to the models, smiling widely.

"Party time!"

"My favorite time of the day!" June replied, grinning widely.

For the outfit that she would soon be modeling, June had charmed her hair light brown and one of Swifty's hair designers had performed some pretty sweet charmwork to give June's hair its windswept look.

Seeing her cue, June apparated out onto the stage where golden and pink lights alternated to the beat of "Hey Mickey!". Swaying her hips, June walked to the beat and posed in different directions as the voiceover started: "This exclusive addition to G+G's new Teen Fashion line is a combination of all the newest styles in one hip outfit. The top half of this outfit is a very form-fitting red tanktop that reaches the hips. An optional golden jacket comes with the outfit for an extra cost of 50 galleons. The bottom half of this outfit comprises of a pair of cropped, dark gold lowrise shorts made of corduroy with a matching wide orange belt. Orange leggings and a pair of high brown boots laced with orange laces complete this ensemble. G+G recommends that you accesorize this outfit with G+G's exclusive orange dangling earrings for 5 galleons, a stylish multi-choker in orange for 7 galleons,a retro orange bracelet for 4 galleons, and a dark gold shoulder bag for 55 galleons and 14 sickles. I wouldn't miss out on this number, Ladies and Gentlemen: It blows all competition out of the water!"

When the voiceover ended, June flipped the jacket she had in her hand over her shoulder and walked back up the runway. At the rear, she turned around one last time and flashed a 100-watt smile before turning and apparating backstage. "The party rocked!" she told Swifty and said "Good luck" to the next model.

Amber took a deep breath as she prepared to go unto stage. Even though she shouldn't have been she was still a bit nervous. Her hair was getting a bit annoying the way it was all curled and waved, but she didn't have time to worry about that. "Thanks." she said to June, before heading out unto the stage.

She posed a few times as she heard the music play and smiled at how well she was doing. "This G+G Teen Fashion piece is great for any type of girl. The white t-shirt with red lining across the top is covered with various writing, which is all the rage. It's extremely comfortable, and is only the amazing price of 25 galleons and 5 sickles! The denim bag with our G+G logo in red is not included but can be bought for an additional 15 galleons. The denim jean skirt has dark blue designing on the bottom that is simple amazing, and comes with a dark blue belt that matches the designing. The skirt is only an astounding 20 galleons. To go with the skirt are these black leggings with gray bottoms. The leggings themselves have our vary own logo on them, and are only 10 galleons. To finish the item off we have beige flip flops with gray stones on the straps that meet with a blue one in the middle! This flip flops are only optional to have with the outfit but we recommend you spend the extra 8 galleons and 5 sickles to have them."

Amber smiled as she posed a few more times before apparating backstage with the rest of the models.

June gave Amber a hug before rushing to her apparition point. "Come girl," June told Autumn, her Yorkshire Terrier, and Autumn ran towards her. Picking Autumn up in her arms, June apparated to the g-shaped stage of the g+g stage set.

At arrival, Autumn, clad in an olive sweater to match her owner, jumped from June's arms when June patted her head and proceeded to run two circles around June before stopping at her feet. June smiled at her dog's rehearsed antics and started to saunter across the stage with Autumn at her heels, doing a little "doggie-walk" of her own to the beat of "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado.

Over the song, the commentary started: "This stylish outfit from G+G's Teenage Fashion line incorporates an off the shoulder knit sweater, in olive green with a simple black lace camisole underneath. Comfortable and fashionable, this sweater is a must-have this season. This outfit, designed and modeled by June and the Yorkshire Terrier, Autumn, also entails a pair of jean capris and a pair of olive green trainers. The sweater is priced at 100 galleons and also comes in the colors of cerulean blue, coral pink, and dandelion yellow. The jean capris are a bargain at 95 galleons and the trainers, which also come in cerulean blue, coral pink, and dandelion yellow, are priced at 33 galleons. G+G recommends that you pair these gorgeous clothes with these selctions from their Jewelry line: the multi-crystal choker priced at 25 galleons and a pair of earrings from G+G's new jewelry line: the Crystalline Collection. The earrings are a pair of dangling crystals in the shape and color of ripe red apples."

As the commentary ended, June clapped her hands twice and Autumn rose up on her hind legs as she jumped and begged for the doggie treat that June now held in her hand. June then threw the treat into the air, and Autumn leaped up, to snatch it as it fell. Hearing the crowd cheer, June led Autumn through a few more tricks before turning around and posing once more. From there, June and Autumn sauntered back to backstage.

"Good job June." Amber said, but didn't hug her for fear of Autumn. She pushed a few of the strands from her messy pony tail out of her face and took a deep breath. She saw Swiftie give her her cue and smiled once more at June before heading out onto the stage. She smiled as she heard the familiar music of "Rich Girl" by Gwen Stafani. She half posed and half danced to the song as she flashed a smile toward the audience.

She continued to smile and pose as she heard the announcer talk about her current outfit. "Now this G+G Teen Fashion outfit is the newest rage. The over shirt is a light blue tank top with spaghetti straps, that has a white jewel studded heart in the left bottom corner. Its a steal of only 30 galleons. The under shirt is a bright purple that stretches over the shoulders, which makes it very comfortable. Its is also priced at the amazingly low price of 30 galleons. The jean skirt is a dark blue denim, with a sliver belt that has a heart belt buckle. As well as a heart shaped silver pendent that hangs down on the left side. The price for this amazing skirt is 45 galleons. The shoes are a high heeled sandal, that is a dark purple and are only 15 galleons. We also suggest that you get the amazing accessories that help to make this outfit so special. First is the bright purple and silver purse that is only 10 galleons if you get it with the rest of this outfit. Also be sure to check out the purple and silver necklace with a heart pendent for 4 galleons, and 5 sickles. And finally don't forget about the purple bead bracelet only 3 galleons, 5 sickles, and 4 knuts."

Amber gave a few more poses and smiles then apparated back stage. "That was awesome!" she exclaimed to everyone. She turned and saw the next model. "Good luck and go rock that stage." she said and hugged them with a smile.

Traci smiled at her twinny weakly, nervous. She continued down the walk way trying to stay on her two feet. She got more confidence as she walked down even smiling more confidentially. As "Ms. Independent" by Kelly Clarkson played in the background she hit a pose and smiled.

Down at the end of the runway she turned and posed with a big flashy smile.
"This outfit is featuring the new skirt and leggings fashion in fabulous orange. With it is an orange shirt and a white with hearts half sweater. Accessories including orange flower flip flops and an orange handbag. All together this wonderful outfit is only 94 galleons and 6 sickles."

Traci smiled one last time and headed back up the runway her stomach calming down and with a sway of her hips she hid behind the curtains.

Swift smiled warmly at Traci as she came backstage, taking a little time to hug her.

"You did great, love," she whispered into her ear, before watching her disappear into the dressing rooms. "Are we ready for the next phase of the teen craze, guys?" she spoke into the mic, hurrying around backstage trying to get the effects in place.

"Ready when you are, boss," came the reply, causing Swift to roll her eyes. How many times...

"Lights, please," she said, watching the lights drop and focus on the two Gryffindors about to come on stage, both from the same entrance at the top of the +

Swift glanced at them to check that they were ready, but quickly noticed that there was someone's hair needed fixing.

"Keep the music going, make it seem like something's about to happen, we have a problem," she whispered hurriedly as she lightly ran over to the two. June's hair, although very stylish and well-designed, was wrapped around one of the buttons on her outfit, causing her head to tilt slightly.

"Don't move, okay? Just relax," she told her, trying to get it undone.

This is taking too long, she thought to herself.

"Err... Swift?"

"Hold on, guys, this is taking tlonger than I thought."

"We can't it hold it down any longer here, I think they're starting to get suspicious..."

"Please, put more pressure on me, why don't you," Swift retorted at her light crew, still trying to untangle June's hair from her outfit.

"Okay, okay, but it's getting bad," was the reply.

"Gahhh.... just.... do something!" She gritted her teeth, annoyed. "Nearly there, don't worry."

Slowly but surely, the hair came loose from the outfit, and the spotlight that had been rising ever so slowly now shone its way backstage, right at the entrance where the girls were supposed to enter.

Giving them a slight push, Swift muthed 'Go!' at them, feeling worse than she had. Trust something like that to go wrong...

"Okay guys, they're coming... now do your thing!"

Amber nodded at Swiftie. "Yes mam!" she said. She quickly pushed a piece of stray hair that had fallen from her half ponytail back into place. The hair that wasn't up was crimped and fell halfway down her back. She looked around at all the people working and gave them a small smile. Then she saw Swiftie give the cue.

She walked unto stage with June. starting at the top of the +. She smiled and chatted with her, as the song came on. As she talked to her she posed a few times, a couple on her own a few with June. She listened to the song in the background, "Say Okay" by Vanessa Hudgens, while doing so.

"This G+G teen fashion piece is a great addition to any collection. The top is a white tank that goes around the neck, and is covered with yellow flowers with a black intertwinement.The shirt falls down just past the hips and is form fitting. It is 35 galleons. The jeans have two small rips, one on each leg, making it fit to the ripped jean style. They are faded flares and come with a white sash that can be used as a belt or just as an accessories. On the bottom of the jeans is a white embodiment of small jewels. They are 30 galleons. With them are sunshine yellow heeled sandals, that are only 15 galleons." She heard the announcer say as she stopped to pose once more.

Amber continued to chat and pose with June as she song ended. When it did she smiled toward the audience once more before apparating backstage with her. "Great job." she said to her and gave her a hug.

(Occuring at the same time as Amber's post)

Seeing Swifty's cue, June walked onto the + shaped stage with Amber, her friend and fellow model and designer, as the lights on stage took on a gold tint. They chatted about various things as "Say Okay" by Vanessa Hudgens played and as they used extravagant gestures to get across the image of "chatting" to their audience. When the commentary for Amber's outfit had finished, the commentary for June's outfit began.

"This outfit from G+G's Teenage Fashion line is flirtatious and bold as the the other outfit, modeled by Amber, is stylish and chic. The top half of this outfit is a haltertop in gold that has a red hand-embroidered design in the Indian style that daringly bares the midriff. The bottom half of this outfit is a fire-colored skirt with an uneven hem lined with silver thread that flares outwards in gathers of cloth that bring a sense of the famed Gryffindor audacity into this new outfit from G+G. To complete this outfit, June wears a pair of heeled sandals in sunshine yellow that sport cute little bows that match Amber's outfit. The complete set of clothes are 135 galleons. Individually, the haltertop is 65 galleons while the skirt is 50 galleons and the shoes are a bargain at 20 galleons. In addition, G+G recommends you pair this gorgeous outfit with accessories such as a pair of dangling earrings in different colored crystals from G+G's new Crystalline Collection for 10 galleons and a few silver bangles that are a bargain at 3 galleons each!"

June tilted her head to the side so the audience could admire her earrings and the shine of her charmed light brown hair, and gave a reply to something that her friend, Amber, had just said. When the commentary ended, the two girls finished posing and headed back up the stage to apparate, arm in arm, backstage. As June hugged Amber back when Amber hugged her, June turned to look at the next model and said, "Good luck, and have fun!"

Aliza sat in the crowd cheering on her fellow gryffindors when she saw swift mouthing something at her. She was supposed to be up there! She smacked her head and left her seat to get backstage as quickly as she could. How could she have forgotten? Running over to the clothes rail she picked out her outfit and got changed faster than she had ever changed before.

As June and Amber came backstage Aliza stepped forward. She was ready. "Thanx June" she muttered as she stepped on to the G. As she walked forward the commentary started.

"This teen outfit, modelled by Aliza, is an outfit to die for. The grey skinny jeans are one of these seasons 'must haves' set off by a gorgeous dress top - another one of this seasons 'to die for'. A simple outfit yet undeniably extremely effective. This outfit has no need for jewellery - it is its own accessorie! Simply set off with a small blue hair band and a pair of cute white pumps - which the model seems to have forgotten - it looks gorgeous"

Aliza looked down at her feet. The commentator was right - she had forgotten! Still..she remained undeterred and continued down the catwalk, posing at certain intervals. When she reached the end of the G she called out to the crowd "I was supposed to forget the shoes! Its a relaxed look!" Grinning at herself she twirled for the cameras and set off back down the G. Pausing for a quick pose the commentary started up again.

"This outfit is a mere 59 Galleons. The dress-top at 30 Galleons and the jeans at 20. Pumps, had she been wearing them, are 7 galleons and the hairband 2 galleons."

The commentary finished as Aliza approached the back of the cat walk, she gave one final pose and then walked backstage. Grinning at June and Amber she asked "How was i?"

Swift ran over to Aliza, promptly smacking her with the script in her hand.

"Silly! I swear, Aliza, remember when you're on next time!!"

"So this is what an irate Swift is really like..."

"Shut up, person in the box who no one sees," she replied into the mic.

"Aaww, that hurt," came a voice riled with sarcasm.

"Shut up, love. You have lights to do - make sure those fountains and its lights keep showing the audience what it means to be a teen, okay?"

"Wow, you just rhymed."

"... Shut up."

Growling slightly, Swift turned to look at the light box, imagining the crew in there laughing at her. However, they did their job well - the fountains were spraying a semi-powerful jet of water into the air, which fell back on the shining black steps, running down them into the drainage below. The lights on the floor lit up the water as it moved, which both reflected the mood of the category and accentuated every single piece of G+G clothing.

"Okay, time for the next part of the show..."

"Yes, boss!"

"... Shut up..."

Cristina just saw Swifty smack Aliza. Ouch, ouch, ouch!, she thought. She went up to where the whole team was. "Hey," she said, "sorry to be so late! You were all great!" She smiled and hurriedly dissapeared in her dressing room. When she got out after a few seconds (yes, she was very fast at changing clothes!), Smifty mouthed "Go!", and she didn't waste any more time, immediately apparating onto the left "g"-catwalk.



She smiled broadly and shook her head a few times to the rhythm of "Tell me baby" for Red Hot Chilli Peppers. It was one of her favourite songs and it was cool, too! Her boyfriend had even promised to show her how to play it on the guitar! With these pleasant thoughts wandering around her head, she strolled casually down the catwalk.

The commentator began describing her outfit:
"As you have already got accustomed to, Gryffindor will now once again present a stylish, top-quality, good-price outfit, this time for you teenage kids! Let's analyse it:
The pièce de resistence is the trendy dark blue jeans miniskirt, with a black belt. It is worn with a likewise darkblue t-shirt with white text. A must-have! But it needs some colour accents, that is why our fashion-wiz-kid will chose to wear a red hoodie and - moms beware, your teenager daughters might just want to jump onto the stage and get them - Converse shoes worn in different colours - red and blue, in our case, to fit the outfit! And don't forget other two things - contrasting yellow socks and, to turn you into a girl with an attitude, a brown knit cap! The prices? The skirt+belt - 10 galleons, the t-shirt 4 galleons, the hoodie 5 galleons, the socks 5 sickles, the Converses 10 galleons and the cap an amazing 3 galleons! Don't let this amazing opportunity escape you!"

Cristina posed a few times, then turned around on her heel and walked back to the appartion point, pleased with the fact that she had managed a decent show despite her being so late.

"Great job, Cris!" June said as she congratulated her friend. Petting the monkey that clung to her arm, June mentally went over her rehearsed catwalk again. Seeing her cue, June hurried to the apparition point with Lana, the monkey, and apparated out onto the stage.

Onstage, June fully appreciated the behind-the-scenes crews' prowess at charms when she got the full brunt of the magic. Where before there had been a plain g+g stage set, there was the same g+g stage set, only now, it was decorated to look like the rainforest. The two fountains on either side of the + had morphed into two slow-moving rivers that bordered the entire stage set. The lights from above emphasized the ferns and leafy plants that now grew along the edges of the stage and at the very ends of the stage, two huge rainforest trees grew tall. June could tell that Lana, a rainforest monkey, felt right at home when the animal started playing a kind of hide-and-seek in the leafy plants. As a fast-moving mix of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" started playing, June smiled and sauntered across the + shaped stage while Lana scampered towards her and clung to her arm once more. The cute little monkey wore a little backpack in a shade of green that matched June's shirt and shoes.

As the commentary started, June also surreptitiously examined her own outfit. Since she had designed it, June practically knew every inch of what she was wearing, but she wanted to see how the rainforest setting emphasized her clothing. Covering her top half, was a spring green babydoll lined with pink, blue, and light green sequins that lined the edges of it. The shirt had a half-layer at the bottom and the hems were lined in lace.
June's long brown hair tickled her neck as Lana's tail weaved throughout it (her hair). Two blue and pink barrettes held back her bangs as June posed, listening to the commentary. On her bottom half, June wore a pair of dark-washed jeans that half covered her spring green trainers.

"And G+G's gorgeous green babydoll is 95 galleons while the jeans are 80 galleons. Our model's trainers are 25 galleons. G+G recommends any prospective buyers to pair this outfit with a pair of blue and pink barrettes, only for 8 galleons and 12 sickles! Another must-have accessory are these hoop earrings in G+G's new shade: Pretty in Pink. These earrings also come in spring green, wild strawberry, sunshine yellow, and underwater blue. Get these earrings today for only 7 galleons!"

When the commentary ended, Lana jumped off June to do her own little mini-catwalk, showing off her adorable green backpack. June heard a few in the audience go "Awww," before she motioned to her monkey and the duo turned towards the rear of the stage. Petting Lana, June walked to the beat of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" before apparating backstage to her friends who awaited her.
