⊰ faking glory ⊱

❝ I learned very early to choose my lines carefully. I learned this very young. I was not as a I appeared. I liked that. I was a magician. No one could see what I hid underneath, and I didn’t want them to, because what I hid seemed raw. Excessively hot and red. ❞ · · · · ⊰ dahlia fleur-peri ⊱ 7th. badger. halfblood.

Chuckles rose from his throat, eying Dahlia from his spot after rising to a stand. “A man shouldn’t kiss and tell, should he.” He pushed scruffy hair back and crossed his arms over his chest, leaning his side on the door frame. “And how did you busy yourself last night, then; surely someone as pretty as you didn’t waste away the entire time studying?”

“You’re completely right, he shouldn’t. I’ll keep my own s p e c u l a t i o n s to myself then. Or I could just start a horrible, fake tall tale & make sure to tell Skeeter about the illicit affairs of Amos Diggory. So juicy.” There was a dramatic flair in her voice, that held an equally playful tone. When he asked her, she gave him the same coy answer he decided to grace her with,“a woman shouldn’t kiss and tell, should she? But, let me ask you this,” a pause, “if I enjoy my time, is it really being wasted? No matter if I was studying, reading, ... doing other things.”

“I’ve got some bolt cutters in my car. I like to be prepared.”

Smirking, she swayed her hips as she walked, letting the music echo her every step. Her throat was parched, but that wouldn’t put a damper on her night just yet.

Besides, there was so much more to do.

She slid past the throng of people surrounding the bowl, pressing close to her neighbor as she reached for one of many ladles. “How many of you are here just to mill about and have no damn fun, huh?” she called out. A wild grin met the faces that spun toward her. “What? Innocent question, no judgement.”

Talking to people, keeping up the facade that she liked everyone around her ( even the boring people ) was constantly exhausting. None of them offered any conversation she was interested in and more importantly, they weren’t even utilizing the point of the party -- to get moving. To do something.

DANCE. It was something she loved in many forms & there was nothing like a party to show off ( unless it was a stage ), to even let loose. Dorcas Meadowes was truly her knight in shining armor when she came over, saving her from her from the idle chatter about boys & who was with whom.

“Oh, please Dorcas, you know I’m a lot of fun -- I was just catching up with some of the girls here. But, I think this party needs a little spicing up and a little kickstart. Would you like to get it started? Do the honors & I’ll follow?” Dahlia flounced over to Dorcas, the grin on her face matching the Gryffindor’s.

“Does putting an a ball gown count as dressing up like a princess? Or just over dressed?”

[isabellemontague-blog]

[dahliafleurperis]

“You’re always a princess, m’dear, it doesn’t matter what you wear. But, if you want a solid answer, I do believe it counts. Do you have a tiara?”

[amosdiggxry-blog]

“Just one more minute, yeah?”

[dahliafleurperis]

“I KNEW a drunk Amos Diggory managed to stumble in here last night. Now tell me, dear, did you just s t u m b l e into the wrong dorm or did one of my girls get to have what I imagine is the experience of a lifetime?”

Money absolutely does buy happiness. You are probably just spending it wrong give it to me I’ll show you how it’s done

Her entire body was a mystery, until her toes gripped the stage. Her movement turned into poetry, and every happiness, sorrow and thought was displayed.

Dahlia Fleur-Peri // “What Hollywood truly wants is for people to be themselves. I think what it’s designed for is to kind of turn people into something and just make them saleable. But what it really stands for, what it really loves, are people who are unafraid to be themselves, and as you can see, these are people who are excelling in their careers.” [insp]
