Chapter 2

Persephone Illythia Aliraven was born to the Aliraven house in France. They are an extremely noble house and one of the oldest houses with much influence. Though the Aliraven house was not like the Malfoys, they used their wealth and influence to help the community fairly, and not bribe officials; that was until Pierre and Elizabeth Aliraven took over. The two wanted power and influence and was not above using black mail and money to gain it, Elizabeth fell pregnant with Persephone and had debated killing the baby before finally deciding to just have the child. Finding it a girl both parents ended fostering her off to tutors and maids to have them teach her, they were far too busy gaining up in society to actually bother with her. Wanting to have something to brag about when she was two they started forcing her to study, to learn everything she could and it worked Persephone was a genius and thus thrust into the spotlight as the parents bragged about how smart of a daughter they had.

Over time she did everything she could to win the love of her parents but it seemed to never be enough, she excelled at everything she could including dancing which she found was a way to escape. When she was seven she realized something was terribly wrong these boys and men were getting attracted to her, scared she ran to her parents who just shrugged it off at first but then realized they may have something else they could use. Having blood tests ran it was found that the Aliraven line which had seemed to only produce males now were Veelas, because the gene could only manifest in females it remained dormant until the house finally produced the first girl in centuries. The gene had awaken and thus made her a full blooded Veela that had magic still because she was technically a pureblooded witch as well, the genes now coexisted together instead of one trying to overpower the other.

Her veela finally manifested into sexual allure and the parents were delighted at the fact and when she was nine used it to their advantage, there was a pathetically annoying guy within the ministry who had won the promotion to a higher status in the ministry over the Aliravens. They knew he had a particular taste for young girls and with the allure Persephone gave off could ensnare the man and have him charged or have him blackmailed into doing what they want him to. Taking Persephone out for the first time to hang out as a family they treated her to ice cream, she was believing she won their approval until they pretended to lose her near a particularly dark alley that was full of hags and shady people.

Within moments her allure attracted the man and he started to attack her, having managed to rip her clothing her magic reacted and killed the man showering the small Veela in blood. Instead of comforting her about what she had done, they scolded her for making them not be able to use the man; they even punished her by locking her up in her room not allowing any food for a few days. It was then that she realized her family didn't love her and never will, instead of slacking off she threw herself into her studies even more wanting to be able to escape them.

When she reached eleven she choose Hogwarts over Beaubaxtons wanting to try and escape her parents, when she got there she was quickly sorted into Ravenclaw and thought perhaps her life would turn around. She was wrong, because she was French, a Veela and extremely smart the Ravenclaws started to pick on her and bully her to the point she sometimes had cuts from the spells hitting her.

She stood tall and took everything they gave but at night she would cry her eyes out, life was just so cruel to the Veela who either had guys trying to get into her skirt or the girls who taunted her and bullied her. The beautiful Veela developed a way to hide her allure and keep it under control with a charm bracelet she made, although the only charms were from her best friends on the Hogwarts grounds and Forbidden Forest. She bought glasses and kept her eyes hidden, clothes that were slightly baggy she started acting like a total nerd so no one would ever know what was underneath the disguise and used her time to learn to be a animagnus so she could run and be free.

While Persephone had several phobias due to being thrust into the spotlight, she also developed disorders and the once outgoing girl dwindle away leaving behind a timid, demure, shy, quiet and obedient Veela who would never attempt to fight back, her desire to be away from her parents overpowered her need to fight back and perhaps get expelled for it. Though if anyone got to know the Veela they would find out she could be sarcastic and have a sense of humor that cared for those she deemed important to her, being in the shadows she soon started getting dirt on everyone, knowing their deepest darkest secrets.

When she was thirteen she got a letter from her dead grandparents it had a time delay on it, it told her that they knew how the parents were and so entrusted the whole house and fortune to Persephone skipping her parents all together not that they knew since they were still allowed to take money out. She decided to keep this to herself for she knows if her parents found out they would attempt to have her killed, they now have her engaged to a man fifty years her senior who was undersecretary to the minister.

With this marriage it would elevate the parents standing to that which they always wanted, it was then she started entertaining the thought of going dark just to escape her family and the cruelty of the school. With her past it was no wonder she was awkward around people and tried her best to be invisible, it was why she had fled from the classroom and Rupert, people couldn't be trusted.
