Janelle wondered around the tables, every once in a while checking her hair or her dress, while waiting for the first few students or even new arrivals. The young Headmistress pondered on if her darling sister would join them for a small party, welcoming the new strangers and welcoming the new school year too. Of course. Chuckling lightly, Jan turned around unexpectedly as one of the arrivals stopped in front of her. Remembering the girl by the name of Alice, she asked, "Alice was it? Welcome!" her smile, warm and embracing glowed her whole.

Her honey brown orbs turned to the petite girl's outfit, gladly grinning Jan whispered, "Brilliant choice of dress! I have one pretty similar, but not one quite like yours. Did you make it?" her bright grin, exposing her natural perfect - well nearly - teeth. Nothing is perfect after all, even if she was half-veela like her sister and mother. Except her mother had been a quarter more of a veela. It was all the same to this girl, half, quarter, three-quarter and full. It was all the same really, well technically. They all are veela's, one with less power than the other.

Shaking her head, Janelle went back to the guests, realising another girl had joined the small company. "Oh hello! Sorry, i'm trying to jog my memory of your name.." Janelle's forehead wrinkled in concentration before a name escaped her lips, "Bella right? Edward had mentioned you." she smiled brightly at her too, but that smile soon faltered as her eyes looked her up and down. A small wince escaped her lips as her eyes took a chance to catch the skirt and jumper she had covering her birthday suit.

"Oh..noo"escaped her exotic pink glossy lips, as her eyes turned to Alice, shaking her head to Bella, she wondered if they could make a small make-over. Because the old skirt was hurting both Janelle's eyes and sanity.

Watching while standing near Alice, Bella was quiet as the Headmistress came over to greet them in person, speaking to Alice first and admiring the dress she made and wore. Then as she turned to her and tried to remember her name, Bella was about to softly remind her when she got it, and acknowledged it with a nod. "Yes, I'm Bella," she answered quietly, giving her a little smile. Edward had mentioned her? Where was he? Normally he'd be here with her - she most likely wouldn't have arrived alone, and she wouldn't have tripped a little or bumped into walls or students. Probably she would've been there in a flash, or at least however fast Edward allowed himself to go.

She left her train of thoughts as she caught a glimpse of the headmistress looking over her outfit, and hearing the 'Oh no' made her face flush a little in anticipation of what was so bad about her. Then she looked at herself, and then at Alice. Boy, if looks could kill. That reminded her that it was she who dressed herself for this party, not Alice, and that her sister-in-law-to-be most definitely wanted to change her outfit. The use of her full name gave that away, too.

Her face flushed a little more as her full name was used as a reprimand for what she was wearing. "Alice, I'm wearing clothes," she answered a bit smartly. She thought it looked okay, and that's why she actually let herself leave her room. However, she wasn't going to win this round as Alice had her by the arm in a cool vice grip and was pulling her towards the door and out of the party. "But, this is comfortable," she mumbled, and then couldn't help glaring a little as she invited the Headmistress to help fix this seeming fashion disaster that was Bella Swan.

It would be bad enough that being changed around in a locked room with Alice, like murder perhaps, but with the Headmistress as well? She couldn't have gotten dressed that badly, could she? Blue and black went together, right? She thought black went with everything. But then again, her fashion sense was nowhere nearly as good as Alices, though it never bothered her before she met the Cullens.

She grumbled a little as she was towed away, wanting to resist and pull away, but she knew that any form of resistance was useless as Alice was forceful in this kind of thing, and she wouldn't let go of her until Bella was dressed up to her standards. Which means there would probably be some makeup and some really expensive fashionable clothes that would be out of place here if Alice and the Headmistress weren't around. Bella exhaled in resignation as she was still dragged away from the party. Where was Edward to save her from this? Surely he'd like her no matter what she wore?

"No, no, that won't be necessary. I could transfigure her clothing to something more suitable.." Janelle called out to Alice before she looked at Bella's face and smiled warmly, "And step into one of the class rooms for privacy?" Janelle quickly turned to grab her wand but as she turned around again she noticed Alice already pulling up Bella to the Common Room Janelle had made them. Deciding to follow them, she quickly jogged on her high heels, a small wince escaping her lips as she felt the high heel hurting her feet. She was expecting that, of course. The young blonde hadn't worn heels in a while now, with all the Headmistress work she hadn't worn a pair of heels in months. The muggle flats had become her best friend, for a while.

Just as she entered the room she sniffed lightly seeing that someone had painted the walls, chuckling ever so lightly she pondered on who might have done that. For the small amount of time he knew these werewolves and vampires and of course the one muggle, she could guess it had something to do with Alice. The one who seems to be interested in decorating and outfits, much like herself. Continuing up to the girl's dorms Janelle gave a little smile to Bella before sitting herself next to her. As a joke Janelle mumbled, "Oh its okay Alice, the portrait knows how to her job." meaning to keep Bella inside - of course.

Looking intently at Alice's moves, the headmistress couldn't help to be amazed by her quick yet elegant moves. Just as she was picking up random pieces of clothing, mostly denim as much as she could see. Turning back to Bella, Janelle thought of cheering her up as her expression didn't seem the happiest or the most comfortable either. "Hun, its alright. Its just.. erm your choice of clothing is entirely the best for a party like the one I've planned." she grinned, as Alice came back to Bella, Janelle looked over the clothing. Chuckling at what she had said, Janelle asked, "How about a waist coat to top that?" her eyes averted to Bella to see how it make look on her before she mumbled, "How about also.. a clip to keep her hair out of her eyes?" her hands instincitvely worked on bella's hair, gently.

Taking a lock of hair from both sides of her face and clipping it with a beautiful sparkling lily clip. "You have a beautiful shade of brunette hair, dear."she complimented before smiling brightly.

Bella blushed slightly at the compliment given to her about how the dress looked on her. She looked down at herself to see how she looked, and had to admit the dress was a pretty blue, although a little bit brighter than the sweater she had just been wearing. She was also surprised that the headmistress got to her before Alice could and gently lead her to sit down on the bed so that her hair and makeup could be done.

She was waiting for her hari to be lightly pulled and twisted and have various things done to it, but only felt it do things automatically as the headmistress had cast spells on her hair so that it would do itself. Although the spells were done, she still could feel the headmistress picking at locks of her hair. Bella just hoped it was to everyone's standards. "Thanks," she mumbled, looking at her with a little smile, and then looked to Alice, who had makeup sprawled everywhere.

She felt eyes boring into her and looked up to meet Alice's golden eyes staring right into her. At the command, she instantly shut her eyes, knowing that her eyes were going to get done, but her whole face was done in the few seconds it took Alice to do up her face. When she said that it would do, Bella opened her eyes slowly, just in case Alice wanted to make any quick changes.

A quiet sigh of relief escaped Bella as she was announced suitable for the party, she got up and gave Alice a little smile too, noticing that she sounded pleased even though she wasn't the one to do her hair. "Um, can we go back now? There might be people there in an empty room," she said, heading to the door slowly, trying to walk safely in the heels that Alice had tossed in with her when she changed clothes.
