Oh, Dominique. Why can't you be more like your sister?

Those same words

You hear over and over

Victoire

Victoire

Victoire

She's everything you're not

You're a measly Ravenclaw

She's a mighty Beaubaxton

Mother is so proud of her

And you think why her?

Something must be S-P-E-C-I-A-L about her

Something that makes everyone s-t-a-r-e

She must have this affection about her that makes them

s

m

i

e

Something that makes you

f

n

But she loves you

She has nothing to be jealous of

Of course, she loves everyone

Because she's Victoir

They STOP and they STARE

at her

They regard you

Like you're grass

You're more than that

And you tell yourself that everyday

Even Teddy told you that

Teddy Lupin

and maybe after he told you that

and maybe

and maybe

you f e l l

in love with him

And maybe maybe maybe

it gave you hope

one I'll be centre of attention

But Teddy f e l l in love with her

and your heart S-H-A-T-T-E-R-S

because you felt

But it's gone now

Because (((without meaning to, of course))) Victoire stole it

You're a measly Ravenclaw

And she's a mighty Beaubaxton

How to compete with that?

You don't.

it's logics

You can't

Because the specials don't have competitors

You have friends, Dom

Oh, sure

Victoire has everyone as her friend

But you never felt this J-E-A-L-O-U-S-Y

You only felt anger

And it felt good

Oh, yes, it felt very very very very good

They live a happy life

and you smile feign smiles

Because you know

one day you'll be happier

than the goodyvictoire

And maybe maybe maybe

You'll have the attention

And she will

f

And you will s-m-i-l-e

There would be no more jealousy

Just maybemaybemaybe she will finally get to see how it feels like after all those years in the

SHADOWS

Yes, you were a shadow

Oh, Dom, stop being so melodramatic

The shadow that never glowed

The shadow that never shined

So, here's your chance

SHINE, DOMINIQUE

shine all you want

Victoire isn't here to stop you
