iv. this difference is amazing
She always wondered how it was possible to want to stand out and blend in at the same time.
How she could stand out so far from her sister, even her brother. (but really, it was mostly Victoire.)
Because Victoire shined with her perfect grades, perfect long blonde hair, perfect body, perfect boyfriend. How everyone liked her and thought she was amazing. The apple of their mother's eye.
And then there was her, little ol' Dominque, with the short red hair and dark blue eyes. With freckles all over, not the cute little splattering across her face.
(and she swears she must of been a mistake)
She could never live up to Vic's standard, never be her mother's perfect little girl. She knows it was petty to resent her sister, but how could she not? How could she not when she was forever being compared to someone she could never be?
So she chose (made) her own path. And it as unfolded, farther and farther away from her mum and sister, the better it felt. The difference, the rebelliousness.
The Slytherin house's very own Weasley.
(and she fit in)
She was bold as brass. Clever, cunning. Fiery hair and an attitude to match.
She chat it up with kids several years older than herself. She squirmed her way onto the previously all-boys Quidditch team in her third year and proved herself a fearsome beater.
People respected her and it felt so good to not live in someone else's shadow. At school she wasn't Vic's little sister, she was Dom Weasley, Slytherin.
And she delved further and further into this personality until little ol' Dominque had all but vanished. She barely gave her old self a glance back. She wore a satisfied smirk everytime she saw Victoire's incredulous face, the slight disappointment in her mother's eyes.
Yet, still some resentment lingered. Because she had tried and fought sososo hard to be her own person, to get out of the goddamn shadow and Victoire had barely lifted a finger to be the way she was. Because deepdeep down somewhere she longed to be like her sister, doing everything with elegant ease. Deep down she desperately wanted her mother's approval.
But she was this new Dom, the cunning clever Slytherin, in so deep that it was impossible to ever make her way out.
So she pushed on and played up her character, pushing the resent and longing to the deepest reccesses of her mind.
(but they were still there and never went away)
Alright so on my timeline, Louis is 2 years younger than Victoire and Dominique is 1 year younger than him along with Roxanne, Lysander and Lorcan (so those three are up next).
