sunny da ghost.

“Tell me right now where they are or I’ll really show you just how scary ghosts are. Tell me!”

Fleur screamed, jumping backwards a few feet before getting closer to the ghost, “even if I did know, I’d never tell a pathetic ghost like you, Sunni!! Don’t you EVER scare me like that again.”

“While I concur that Ravenclaw is a fine House, Hufflepuff is also good. Those Huffelpuffs are true and unafraid of toil,” Malachi recited, as if Fleur wasn’t already aware.

She tried, she really did to keep her face straight, her eyes bored but she couldn’t. Fleur’s lips betrayed a slight smile, “are they now? Tell me more about the house I’m already in, Gudgeon.”

“Hufflepuff is quite respectable.” Dahlia interjected, crossing her arms over her chest and playing along for the moment. She knew Fleur loved Hufflepuff, but she was never one to turn down a debate. “It’s based on hard work, fairness, and loyalty which are very important characteristics to have. In fact, they’re some of the key traits to success. It could’ve been far worse, after all. You could be in Gryffindor.” 

It was only natural that her sister’s voice would eventually pop out of the woodwork to debate with her, especially about this subject in particular. Fleur didn’t mind, it was Dahlia, her big sister and she genuinely smiled when she saw her, while listening to her say her piece. “You’re right, I could be in Gryffindor,” she made a face at that, it would’ve been dreadful if she was in that house, really. “But, think about this: you and Binks are in Ravenclaw, plus, individuality is key trait in life. What does your success matter if you’re just clumped into the rest? Creativity too? Hardwork may be the backbone, but I’d rather not be clumped in with the rest -- which is exactly what this ruddy house is.”

Fitz stopped in his footfalls, peeping over his shoulder at the voice that suddenly piped up. Fleur Rowle. What on Earth was she doing up at this hour? “Maybe Ravenclaw was full,” he replied dryly, turning round to face her. “What’re you doing up?”

Crossing her arms over her chest, Fleur inspected a sight in front of her that she had seen many times before -- was Fitz leaving? Running away? “I checked -- trust me,” she replied back with a half smile, shaking her head. “You don’t get to ask that.”

“It’s… refreshing to see that some things don’t change, Fleur.”

“Oh, come now, Gabe, you know what you really wanted to say,” she smiled walking over to give him a hug. “Welcome back?”

Not that anyone here but you would understand.The rest of them would like to watch me and feel nothing. Reduce me to components as in a clock factory or abattoir. Crush out the mystery. Wall me up alive in my own body. They’d like to see through me, but nothing is more opaque than absolute transparency. - Helen of Troy Does Table Dancing, Margaret Atwood

“Black purse with black heels… or a white purse with white heels… or, um??? Yikes. Sorry. I —- well, wouldn’t know the first thing about fashion.”

“Well, if you don’t mind ... -- I’m rather, well, savvy with it? Savvy at fashion ... is that even ... anyways, my sister always taught me that wearing what you’re most comfortable in is a start. So, if you’re having to pick between only those two, pick the one you’re more comfortable in. I, personally, like the black on you. White’s more for summer and spring, anyways.”

“You always were most fair of us all.” Binks hadn’t been quiet on her disdain for Hufflepuffs, but none of that was attached to Fleur. “I wouldn’t mind the house if the only one in it was you. I do fancy you as a Ravenclaw, though.”

“Are you equating me to a princess, Binks? Can’t say I mind. Or disagree,”she smiled, even though she knew Bianca meant ‘fair’ in the way that was ‘just’. It was true, when they had all taken things too far -- she had been their conscience. “Though, I suppose you’re right. As always. I fancy myself as a Ravenclaw too! Imagine if I was the only one in Hufflepuff though, I’m not sure if I could stand having a whole Hogwarts house to myself. It’d be too much. Too much yellow.”

“Everyday, every single day, I question why I was sorted into Hufflepuff.” Fleur mused to herself, with an air of arrogance. “I really should’ve been in Ravenclaw.”
