[rs=2] | NO MORE PRETENDING (fun tidbits about Dominique) 20. She's a clutz - "Honestly, I could (and have) trip over my own feet." 19. She finally learned how to cook - "I use to burn water alright, cooking lessons saved my life, and my weight." 18. She hates working out - "Ew. Getting all sweaty? No thanks. Pass." 17. She hates peaches - "Nothing with fuzz on it can be good." 16. She thinks chocolate is a food group - "It really should be, its just that good. Except dark chocolate, yuck." 15. She's been in love - "Men stink. Honest to goodness they do." 14. She loves cherry cola - "Cherry anything honestly, its my weakness i swear." 13. She's allergic to cats - "Its either their hair or their dandruff, either way i can never have one." 12. She can fly a broom - "Doesn't mean I like too, just means I know how. Every witch or wizard should to be honest, we all take the lesson in Year 1." 11. History of Magic is her best subject - "I enjoy learning how things were created, something wrong with that?" 10. She's changed - "I won't lie, I used to be a bitch but my perspectives have changed." 9. She can be a girly girl - "Don't let the jeans and running shoes fool you, i yearn for my heels." 8. She's thought about killing someone - "Some people just don't deserve to live, lets leave it at that." 7. She believes in fairy tales - "Even after getting my heart broken, that's saying something." 6. She hates orange peels - "I don't even understand the point of them honestly. They are sticky and don't taste good at all." 5. She's afraid of clowns - "All that make up and those crazy faces, how is that suppose to cheer a child up? Its terrifying." 4. She's felt alone - "It wasn't a good feeling (especially in a family as big as mine) and it was at the worse time really." 3. She loves to read - "I owe that to my mother, she used to read to me late at night when i would keep her awake. Before i was even born and right until i could read myself." 2. She loves the fall - "Its not to hot and not to cold and all the leaves are changing color, its beautiful." 1. She's afraid of the unknown - "I hate not being in control, and the unknown makes me feel out of control. It makes me feel nervous, like I need to be constantly looking over my shoulder. Not a good feeling." BUT YOUR A GOOD GIRL (the multiple personality traits of dominique) confidence. "i am very confident with who i am. i am not your typical Weasley and i like it that way. i don't spend my days wishing i wasn't a Weasley or pretending like i'm not. i am a Weasley and those that don't like it can shove it to be honest. i can walk around with my head held high and yes sometimes i don't walk i strut but that's just the way i am. though i may have always appeared confident, its taken a while for me to be truly confident with who i am. i'm not going to change for anyone, and i'll be the first one to tell you that." stubborn. "there isn't a person that knows me or doesn't know me that won't tell you that i am stubborn. i like getting my way and i don't back down. if you want to get into an argument with me you better make sure your right, or else i'll make sure to prove you wrong. i don't like being wrong and hate admitting when i am even more. when i want something, i don't usually stop until i get it. though there are exceptions to all the rules, even this one. it often depends on what kind of mood i am in on how stubborn i'll be." temper. "call it the Veela in me, but i have a wicked temper. for the most part i have a good control over it but if you push enough buttons to deliberately piss me off you better watch out. once you push me past that point, all i see is red and i am basically out for blood. its not very often that i'll loose my cool, but ruin my outfit or my new manicure and it may be a different story. kidding, well some what. combining a Veela with a Weasley may not have been the best idea, but for the most part it turned out well. think about my grandma Molly attacking Bellatrix Lestrange, i may not have been born but she was one mad woman. now multiply that by about ten and you'll know what its like to make me mad. i've even gone as far to try and hex another student in front of a Professor. not one of my better days, but that is what happens." tease. "its not that i intentionally wake up and think to myself, how am i going to tease so and so today. it just kind of happens. its even worse when i go out dancing with my friends, thanks to the whole being a Veela thing. girls tend to hate me for it but honestly i can't help it. some guys make it way to easy. i am who i am though and i'm not about to change that just to make the girls around me feel better. i've calmed down a lot since my final year at Hogwarts, but i am still me. i still wear what i feel comfortable in and if that turns heads then so be it." ravenclaw. "my mother always tells me that i was ravenclaw material right from birth. she says that i would have come out of the womb reading if i was capable of doing so. when i'm at home its not very often that you see me without a book. i have my very own library for merlin's sake. stacked full of all kinds of different books, full of information that some would probably find useless. i don't like not knowing about something. i really hate the unknown, its the main reason why i am not a fan of the dark. you can't see what is around you and i dislike that. i learn things rather quickly as well, and i have a picture memory so once i see something once i can generally memorize it. if it wasn't for my friends and my family i probably would have spent most of days at Hogwarts with my nose stuck in a book." outspoken. "often, i find it hard to hold my tongue. if i don't like something i am not afraid to let someone know. though i do try not to be harsh with my comments. it doesn't help though that i can also be quite sassy and sarcastic so sometimes people can't exactly tell if i am being serious or not. that can be a benefit, since there have been times where i have insulted someone and they laughed. behaviour like that just makes me shake my head. usually my clashes are with people who are either dumb or who act dumb, i cannot fathom why someone would do that. of course i do bump head with pureblood elitist quite often as well. i can't stand those that think they are better then others simply because of their blood, its disgusting. i am pure but i don't walk around with my nose stuck in the air and thats not because i am a Weasley either. i just don't think i am better then others." MUST WANNA GET NASTY (dominique's three biggest secrets) one. kaden alexander lestrange. "though i'll deny it if word ever got out, i have a rather interested crush on Kaden. most days all i wanna do is smack the jerk out of him but on his good days, merlin he could melt me with his smile. of course i'd never let him know how i feel, that wouldn't be good for either one of us. me a Weasley, him a Lestrange - yeah, not going to happen. this doesn't mean i like when he dates other girls, and i'll probably be extra bitchy at these times but that's just how it goes. no girl likes seeing the guy they are majorly crushing on with another girl. its like getting kicked in the stomach and honestly who enjoys that? exactly my point." two. seventh year eating disorder. "it was a part of my life that i would much rather pretend didn't happen. not that i am not stronger because of it, maybe even more confident with who i am, but it was the worse part of my life thus far. if it wasn't for my parents and some anonymous stranger i may not be here today. i'd like to know who turned me into the hospital wing that faithful day but to this day i still don't know who it was. while i was recovering i went through this time where i found everything around me beautiful. it was kinda enlightening and changed my views on a lot of things." three. feels like an outsider. "though my family would say feeling this way is silly, i can't help it sometimes. there are moments when i just feel like i don't belong in the Weasley clan. it especially comes when you could get lost in a see of red hair. most people are quite shocked to discover i am a Weasley, and i'm not ashamed of it i just wished i felt more like i am in the right family. my sister was a shoe in for Gryffindor, like my father and my uncles, yet i seemed more fit for a Ravenclaw and sure enough i was. i used to wonder if my mother cheated on my father and i was the result but i know that is propitious because they are incredibly in love. sometimes i feel like i am an outsider looking in rather then an insider looking out." JUST LET ME LIBERATE YOU (growing up a weasley) "born as the second child to William Weasley and Fleur Weasley nee Delacour isn't a hardship like it is in some other families. see with the Weasley's all children are treated equally. we don't have this 'the first born is the most important' nonsense. nor do we have the whole 'arranged marriage' bull that pureblood families believe in, and the funny part is we are purebloods. well, most of us anyways. even though my immediate family is considered pure, we are also part Veela. which in my opinion is just an added bonus. mainly because it means us girls actually missed out on the whole red hair thing. i honestly don't think red hair would do me any good, not to mention that a veela with red hair could be disastrous given the mix of tempers. i get my beauty and charm from my mother, that much is obvious, but my knact for getting into trouble and being outspoken is definitely the Weasley in me. though my family may not be the richest we have never went without something we needed and the things we wanted, well that's what grandparents are for. the Delacour's spoil their grandchildren rotten, never wanting us to be without, much to our parents dismay. the best thing about growing up as a Weasley is never truly being bored. with having so many family members, all living rather close to one another, there is always someone around to do something with. its not just the Weasley's either, there is of course the Potter's as well. we are a close knit clan the most of us, for the most part anyways. like any other family we do have our tiffs or arguments if we will but we never stay mad at one another for very long. i can't exactly pinpoint one person i am closest with, in such a hard family its hard to pick just one person. that is where friends come in handy really. besides, if you think its hard to keep a secret in the wizarding world, try belonging to a family as large as mine. its even more impossible, because if one knows the chances are they all know. it can be done, you just need to becareful who you trust telling who with what information. that is why no one inside my family knows any of my secrets, merlin if they did i'd never be let outside my room. i'd probably be permanently grounded! obviously, growing up a Weasley, we are well aware of our magical powers right from birth. its not exactly something that can be hidden when your mother uses a spell to do dishes or when you see a vaccum cleaning the floor without being pushed around. for the first eleven years of our life we are prepared for Hogwarts, told about what house we want to get into and which ones we want to avoid. Slytherin is generally at the top of the no no list, though its not as bad as it used to be i am informed. its been more and more acceptable since Albus made it into Slytherin but most of us still wind up else where. i was lucky enough to get placed in Ravenclaw and it was honestly the best place for me. i always had a knack for reading when i was younger, doing things ahead of my other siblings. of course that caused a bit of a rivalry between my siblings and myself but it was healthy competition. my worse class has always been Herbology, because i am not big on the whole getting dirty thing. it was horrible when i would have it first thing in the morning and have to spend the rest of the day with dirt somewhere. honestly, our classes should have been planned more accordingly. not to mention needing to go outside in freezing temperatures. that's almost as bad as asking us to participate in flying lessons in the middle of winter. Flying and Herbology were always my worst subjects, but i made up for it elsewhere. graduating top of my class in History of Magic, Divination, Potions and Charms. my sister obviously went to school ahead of my brother and i, being sorted into Gryffindor. i remember the day she returned from her shopping trip to Diagon Alley fuming mad because our mother's wand had rejected her and she had to get a new wand. i didn't want to admit that i was secretly happy because i had always loved my mothers wand. its a tradition amongst the Delacour's that the wand of the Veela gets passed onto her children, because the wand is very special. its made out of Rosewood, with the core of a Veela hair from my great grandmother. the two compliment each other quite well but making a wand with the hair of a Veela that once belonged to someone is dangerous. it can give the wand holder power over the other person, though it also has a ton of benefits. it creates a better bond between the holder and the giver along with allowing the Veela in question to gain better control of their powers. it cant only get passed onto one member of the family and i had always hoped it would be me. if it didn't go to me then it would go to Louis. when it came time for my trip to Diagon Alley before going to Hogwarts we went into Ollivander's for the tradition. i tried out a few wands but none of them felt right. when my mother placed her old wand in my hand, i knew instantly that it was mine. my finger tips tingled as though i could feel the power coursing through it. with a flick of my wrist it was confirmed that the wand had chosen me. of course Victorie didn't like this too much, but a wand chooses the wizard, it always has. so my wand is very special and ever since receiving it i have gained a better control on my Veela powers. of course my times at Hogwarts would be nothing without a little bit of drama here and there. mainly involving Kaden Alexander Lestrange. the bloody pratt. merlin if i could have went my whole school career without ever knowing he existed i would have been happy. okay, maybe that's a lie, since he isn't exactly hard on the eyes but still. the man is infuriating! i wound up in several detentions because of him. even earned my first howler because of him, thanks to him being the cause of my first detention. for weeks he had tried pushing my buttons and getting under my skin but i have always been relatively good at keeping my cool, a trait i pride myself on considering i am part Veela. however, one day i was heading to Potions and found myself in the middle of a bloody swamp. i didn't need to think for a moment who was responsible. i stormed into class and would have hexed the bloke into next century if it wasn't for the damn professor. that was fourth year, i found myself in detention with him and i could have screamed. somehow i walked out of that room more attracted to him then i ever had been. i still swear he put some sort of charm on me, but he isn't that good of a wizard! we've had this frenemy type thing going on ever since. i mean its obvious that we are both attracted to one another and though we've come close to having things happen, nothing ever has. though i do enjoy making him squirm from time to time. where Kaden is concerned, being part Veela definitely comes in handy. i try not to dwell on things with him though because i know nothing will ever happen and even if it did it would never amount to anything. regardless of if i am pure or not, i am a Weasley and he is a Lestrange, a recipe for disaster right from the word go. so, i try to stayed focus on guys that i know i can get with. this doesn't mean i get with any guy that comes my way, merlin no. i do have standards. boyfriends are on the list of things that i try to keep my family from finding out. then they want to meet them and that process can be terrifying. life has hardly been rough for me, but it hasn't always been easy either. during my seventh year i suffered from an eating disorder, worried that i was too over weight. i wish i could blame a bad break up for those thoughts, and at the time i may have, but truth be told it was my own doing. i had convinced myself that men only wanted me because of my veela powers, that i weighed too much to really be attractive. i would binge eat and then throw up and then not eat for a day or so. it wasn't pretty. i was barely a shell of the girl i had once been and if it hadn't been for some anonymous stranger i could have very well died. it was a warm night, just before the end of the year and it was during one of my not eating spells. i had been walking down the stairs to return to the Ravenlaw Tower and fainted. i am not really sure what happened after that all i know i woke up in the Hospital Wing and my parents had been notified. they gave me two options, either accept their help to get better or go to a hospital and have to repeat seventh year since i would miss my year end exams. i took their first offer and i think my bond with my mother grew because of it. that is actually one secret my family did manage to keep. i am better now, but my mom is constantly checking in on me. it took a while for my appetite to return, but it eventfully did and now i eat more then i ever did but i am also careful about what i eat. i don't want to wind up with the same mind set as before. when i get bad thoughts i turn my focus towards my training for becoming a Hit Witch. its a dangerous job, but someone needs to do it and i have just enough confidence and sass to pull it off." |
