Louis has been lucky enough to visit a lot of amazing places in his lifeâthe ChĂąteau de Versailles is still one of his favouritesâbut Maladh Academy is unlike anything heâs seen before. Having been too swept up in the rush of the welcoming feast, heâs not had a proper chance to explore outside of the grand ballroom just yet and heâs practically itching to get out there and nose around a little.Â
      âMaman is never going to believe me when I tell her about this.âÂ
   âRight!!â Vic said, more excited to be away from Hogwarts then she really wanted to admit. Especially during her last year. âMaman was right about telling us to do this, even if Iâm a bit on edge about it, she was right. As ALWAYS.â Smiling at Lou and his wonderment, she couldnât help but emit the same level of excitement. Her whole entire family was here, from far and wide, for her last year of school sheâd be with all of them. It was a dream come true.Â
   âActually, knowing her, sheâll have an even better story to tell us that we donât already know. Sheâs lived NINETY lives, that one.â
   â look iâm all for welcoming feast stuff, but this is boring. â millie turned to the person beside her. â anyway youâd be interested in sneaking out of here and going swimming ? â she looked around at the people in the room. â i mean i donât have my suit handy, but we can go skinny dipping. âÂ
   âA girl after my own heart,â A smile curled on her lips as she looked around, though they didnât need to find a stealthy way to sneak out, it was always more fun to PRETEND they did. âBesides, as good as the food is -- the beaches are even better.â

BASICS
Character Name: Victoire Apolline Delacour-Weasley
VICTOIRE: Seventeen years of hearing stories about those who died on her birthday before her. Almost a decade of not celebrating her own birthday when she realized what it meant to others. Of course, she understands that this is the burden she carries â while her cousins bear namesakes of those who had fallen before them, she is the painful reminder of the day they lost people â so they could win freedom. She is the h e l l f i r ethat is left after a victory, scorching technicolor brutal memories into the minds of those who were left behind.Â
APOLLINE: The french derivative of the name Apollonia which comes from the Greek god, Apollo. Apollo, the god of the sun, prophecy, music, beauty, healing, poetry, plague and so much more. It could be said that Victoire is her own brand of beautiful â of course the Veela genes help ( or do they? ) but if thereâs anything sheâs gotten from this namesake itâs the love of music. Sheâs sure that if she wasnât going to work with dragons when she was older it would be with music â something she practically speaks as a language. The name might sound too flowery or too soft for Victoire â but her grandmother from which she was given this name was still a Veela. She still had the siren song that was deadly to almost associated with her name. Still, just because Victoire is comparable to a constantly raging storm â she has times where parts of her mother and grandmother comes out. Â
DELACOUR: While she embraces the Weasley, Victoire also embraces her French heritage. If thereâs anything of her mother, of this side of the family that comes out â itâs when she speaks French. She refuses to call her mother anything but maman, and will quickly switch to French around her during Weasley-Potter-Lupin gatherings at the burrow to make her feel even a little more comfortable. For Victoire, the Delacour name embodies softness and embodies femininity that sheâs not always connected to. It reminds her that sheâs not been alone in being discriminated against or objectified, that others understand what itâs like to be in her place to some extent. Itâs then that sheâs able to embrace the girl, that sheâs able to feel like one and not always so at war with her body and herself.
WEASLEY: If the other parts of her name didnât already come with enough precedence â perhaps the name âWeasleyâ was the icing on the cake. She couldnât be prouder to be a Weasley, no matter how much fussing her grandmother does or how everyone is in everyoneâs business â Victoire knows she is lucky. Vic is well aware of how privileged she is & how her infamous family of blood traitors are lucky to have the life they do.
Year: Seventh Year. This makes Victoire seventeen years old.
Pronouns & Gender: Â She/Her or Gon/Gons. Victoire identifies as a Demigirl.
C h a n g i n g. From the minute Victoire was born, she was always fidgeting, alwaysmoving and her first display of magic was at 4 years old, when she tried to change her hair blue like Teddyâs. Instead, it changed her beautiful crop of ginger hair into a dirty blonde. Often, sheâd find herself envying Teddyâs abilities to change, feeling uncomfortable in her skin and angry that it wasnât as easy for her. As she grew older, she came to understand  what her body was, what it would be and that sheâd never be able to change herself like Teddy or change herself at all. Any change that sheâd make would be permanent and she found herself not wanting that in the slightest. Not wanting to limit herself because while Victoire loved her feminine side â there was something she felt growing in her soul that was just ⊠something else. It didnât have a label but it became her, it was her, and it was confusing but it was who she was. Victoire did research and after a while the closest thing she could find to what she felt her gender was the term:demigirl.
Of course, after she realized this she told her parents, getting nothing but support from them. A reason theyâve let Victoire dye her hair so much and wear clothes that some parents would have heart attacks at, is so she feels like she has an option to be who she is. Even though they know that their child will be who she is with or without their permission, they figure helping her along the way in a world where there are many people who are against what her gender is & think itâs unnatural. They are Vicâs parents after all and after a war where they lost family and friends who gave their lives so their children could have freedom  â it seems trivial to ever fuss over something like gender.
House: Slytherin
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and is associated with the neck and throat. Positive characteristics include stamina, patience, practicality, frugality, creativity, a love of beauty and nature, faithfulness, loyalty, determination, sensuality, and affection.Negative characteristics are stubbornness (thereâs a reason why stubborn people are called bullheaded), materialism, resistance to change, laziness, a terrible temper once aroused, prejudice, and sometimes an unimaginative nature.
In this House, the traits associated with Taurus that will be most emphasized are materialism and loyalty. These Slytherins will be almost blindly loyal to their friends and allies, and they will value wealth and the trappings of wealth over more intangible assets.Determination will also be emphasized. All Slytherins are determined, but the stubborn Taurus Slytherin is unstoppable once they have their mind set on something. A large number of Slytheirns in this sign work for Gringotts after graduating from Hogwarts, for they are very good with money.

Secrets: Â TW: VIOLENCE, SELF HARM, DEATH, BLOOD
Itâs a secret that: Victoire Weasley thinks she killed someone. A month and a half after Victoireâs big seventeenth birthday, she went to a bar with her cousin, Lily. It was nice, the birthday rush still in her veins, the fact that she was legal ( at least in one world ) was nice. She easily used her charm to get past the front, and just sat at the pub drinking away at a Shirley Temple cocktail and before long she got talking with a random man. Really, there was nothing romantic on her part â but he got a little too friendly and just before Victoire could punish him for doing so, his girlfriend came out of the lavatory. She was smashed, so obviously, and angry as well but Victoire was able to slip away outside for a minute before her anger and thirst for release got the best of her. While she smoked a spliff, thinking that she had finally been able to get it under control, her itch for a fight â the girlfriend came outside and started a fight with Vic, something Victoire engaged in. It wasnât before long that the other girl was being beaten senseless by the wix, and Victoire hadnât stopped until she was suddenly snapped from her blackout. Inspecting the girl â Victoireâs veins practically went to ice when she saw she wasnât moving. The girl looked dead â she had to be. Victoire ran. The next day in the muggle newspaper, Victoire couldnât find a report of what had happened which just solidified the fear that she had actually killed someone. Unknown to her, the girl was okay choosing not to share her story with the press.
Itâs a secret that: Victoire Weasley self harms. She canât remember how it quite started â a punch to the wall there after a fight, a purpose slap in the face, anything that released the rage she had. Victoire didnât dare release it on the people she loved because sheâd never be able to forgive herself for that, but it grew. The feeling grew and soon she had to hurt herself. But she can remember when she knew. When she needed reminders, when she needed blood and big bruises to litter her body. Itâs something sheâs so ashamed of, that she hasnât let on to anyone. A reason Victoire craves fights and sometimes throws them is because of this masochistic need to hurt herself â just letting people beat her to unconsciousness. Her anger is so great, so c o n s u m i n g, thereâs the small hope if she finds a way to release it somehow â itâll go away.
Itâs a secret that: Victoire Weasley has hated her birthday since she was eight. Being born on May 2nd was more of a curse than anything as far as Victoire is concerned. Sheâs not selfish enough to be mad at everyone for grieving on her birthday, not at all, just mad that she doesnât have it on a different day. Each year, thereâs been at least one family member crying and one of her best friends parents died on the day she was born. When she was younger, before she knew why it was truly so upsetting for the people she loved â she didnât understand. Now that she does, she hates the day and wishes she was born on another like she was supposed to be ( Victoire was a month early ). Still, she treats it as the day it is for everyone else and doesnât express how she really feels about the day.
CHARACTERIZATION
Storm with skin. The performer. { Secret Strategist }. Masochistic with sadistic tendencies because she is just so filled with A N G E R ( being sexualized at a young age, her ass pinched on her first Hogsmeade trip, and so so much more that she doesnât have a language to explain it in â only violent actions ). N o t that sheâd let you know. Â Warrior, no, VALKYRIE more of a DRAGON than a girl ( if she ever was a g i r l in the first place ), fiercely protective of the people she loves â and if you dare mess with her family, friends, or any of the sort, you better run for oblivion. V I C T O R Y in her veins that she will hold onto until her dying breath.
Victoire Weasley is more than just a simple human being, sheâs the true embodiment of what it means to be a storm with skin. Enigmatic even. First approaching this version of Victoire â I was nervous. Itâs been a year and Iâve still been nervous to play her as well as how I imagine sheâs percieved. An improper Victoire who wears leather pants more than pajamas? A Slytherin Victoire? A bar fighting, dragon loving/part dragon, tattoo adorning Victoire Weasley? Punk to the core? Constantly dyeing her hair? Terrified. Victoire is quite sure of who she is, what she wants in life & what she will get, sheâs quite sure of everything that she is â- but in those moments she blacks out in pure rage â sheâs not so sure. Sheâs h o r r i f i e d. In those moments where she looks for pain like sheâs a drug addict and itâs her next fix, sheâs mortified. Â âI will always scare; and more than anyone else â myself.â
It was in House of Serpents that she learned there is grey. There is moral grey, and itâs where she lives. With a heart so big, so W I D E, that even she doesnât realize itâs part of the reason her anger can consume her. Feeling things for Victoire Weasley is never half arsed, itâs full arsed, and her passion, her ambition, could be the death of her. Her ambition to save the ones she loves, to protect her family. F a m i l y. A word redefined by Victoire fucking Weasley. But when you meet her, sheâll s m i l e. Sheâll laugh, sheâll charm you most likely and sheâll talk about the fact that Freddie Mercury is much more interesting than John Lennon, thank you very much. How Johnny Cash, Jeff Buckley, Arctic Monkeys, Queen, HAIM, and Aerosmith should be listened to at least once a day and how if she wanted anyoneâs singing voice besides Freddieâs, it would be Hayley Williams, no doubt. Sheâd take off her shirt to show you the tattoos that run down her back, tell you about the ones that s n a k e down shoulders, arms, legs and how theyâre ones dedicated to each and every one of her family members. For her best friends. With child like w o n d e r m e n t and pure genuine glee, sheâll talk about her dragon, Mercury, and how her and Hagrid have planned to try to start a campaign to get real dragons at Hogwarts.
Then, a competition that made her think of The Goblet of Fire came along and she couldnât help the suspicion that flared within her. Everything mightâve been safe, dandy, fine, but it could change in the drop of a hat. Victoire just wanted to be excited but time showed that was not going to be easy. Â All she knows that if it does go wrong, she will protect them, she has to. Sheâs had to put herself together, she had to keep herself more composed. Her family & friends need to her to her stable â as stable as she could be. Vic may have gone about a month without an incident, as well as been in the eye of the storm that is herself, but thereâs a storm around her now.
â& she is now a hurricane. Controlled chaos because despite it all, sheâs a Slytherin for a reason. Sheâs manipulative, cunning, a silver tongue used mostly for words, and she needs to become some sort of matriarch. There were crushing expectations that were supposed to do just that but were thrown out the window since day one. Now, the expectations of being Victoire Weasley must be embraced. Now, they are because her family needs her, and she finally can be what they wanted her to be. A leader of sorts. Their VICTORY. Beneath the chaos is kindness she shows to people, is the gentle touch and wise words that make you wonder â who exactly is Victoire Weasley? A teenage hurricane, in the middle of a chaos, who came to find that maybe she was born to fight.
âȘ : Critique they have about others
While she can understand some her classmates animosity and anger she doesnât approve of how they choose to take it out. Vic as well doesnât approve of their reasoning for it â yessome of them may be brainwashed into their views but she still feels itâs unacceptable.
â« : Pet peeve
When people donât understand the word ânoâ. Having a history of being harassed by various men in some of the places she hangs out (Hogshead at times, Romania when sheâs there with her uncle Charlie, anywhere really Merlin knows her curiosity and badass-ness has gotten her into some sticky situations as well as weird places ) she absolutely hates when people donât respect the word ânoâ â especially in those situations.
⏠: Something minor they enjoy
Rainbows. Colors. While colors might not necessarily be minor, even little things, little colors that she loves make her really happy and intrigued. What is that color? Â Is there a name for it? She idly in her spare time likes to name colors on her own. One day she hopes to successfully dye her hair rainbow on her own without any magic.
â : An obscure interest
Dragons and Care of Magical Creatures. Mostly dragons, Vic loves everything dragons â especially the uses of dragon blood, which she has tried before. Even dragon dung as fertilizer (even if sheâs not the most knowledgable on Herbology ) interests her.
âź : A moral standard
As Vic aligns with the Chaotic Good alignment there are Ten Chaotic Good sins which of a few, Victoire definitely identifies with. Though, there is one in particular that Victoire practices and holds as a standard for herself.
â Failing to perform a random act of kindness when appropriate.â
Vic feels deep down quite ashamed of some of her actions while blinded by rage, especially the ones that involve hurting herself. Performing random acts of kindness to her sort of makes up for her actions, sort of balancing good and bad â even if itâs just in herself. Sort of like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch when Lilo illustrates those drawings of Stitchâs bad and good. While she knows itâs not that black & white, she canât help but feel that it is when it comes to herself. She knows that she acts out and is flawed as well as acts irrationally â so maybe just maybe that helps her add to her own goodness.
        clara blinked at her for a moment, before shrugging and downing it in one go. âyour loss, i suppose. also, you know there are spells for that, right?? i personally wouldnât want to rely on someone elseâs proof.â
âYâknow, I think I just like trusting peopleâs words and dumping shit on peopleâs heads, but, Iâll keep that in mind next time,â though, Vic almost regretted not having the drink as she wasnât nearly buzzed enough. âAsking for a friend -- where is the RELIABLE alcohol??â
Cameron watched his neighbour talk animatedly, arms flailing about, voice rising and falling as, he assumed, the story to came to a climax. It seems he tuned in too late, only catching the tail end, and not understanding a word of it. Rubbing the last of the sleep from his eyes, Cameron turned away. âI donât know what the fuck he just said but â sorry, have we met?â
Having just woken up and not even listened to music yet, Victoire was in a mood. Eating breakfast was only a means to an end at this point but she was fairly entertained by the person who decided to go on about a story and be so animated, that it caught her attention. Suppressing a laugh into her drink when she was done, she turned to her side and started to laugh even harder. âI didnât know people did crack-cocaine so early in the morning, and yet,â Vic joked, looking over at the red hair that the person next to her had. âNah, but you must be a WEASLEY.â
âDo we wanna burn it or do we wanna throw it in the dumpster outside of the hotel?â
@vicweasley
âHow about, we light it on fire then throw it in the dumpster?? But that may attract too much attention,â thinking for a moment, Vic paced. It wasnât too serious but it was enough to try to find a stealthy way to exterminate the excess beer cans. âThough, if we burn âem, itâll probably make a smell. I can always try to MASK it with a charm.â
âNo, come on, thatâs an urban legend.â @vicweasley
âThe Hash Slinging Slasher is NO urban legend, Annette,â Victoire kept the flashlight under her chin, trying to keep the serious expression on her face. âI saw him at Hogwarts, okay!!â
âOh shitâŠI got a tattoo last night? My mum is going to KILL me.â
âIf she does, I hope itâs for not having it covered!! And because of how ugly it is but thatâs a different story,â though, Vic felt a slight tinge of guilt -- between her, Rose, Dom and Isa, it had been EASILY encouraged for Lily to do something stupid. This was the result. âAt least it suits you.â
It wasnât his responsibility to look after Weasley here. Yet when he found her conversing with the wall, he couldnât stop himself from pointing out, âThe portraits donât have the bracelets. Itâs highly improbable that they can understand a word you are saying.â
Looking behind her, it was indeed Brent Nott and he was right -- even though she had been talking to them for a quite a while. Looking between him and the portraits with a curious expression, Vic wondered aloud, âdâyou think if I ATTACHED the bracelet somewhere on the painting itâd help??â
