Chapter Two: Victoire Gabrielle Weasley
1. She hates being known as 'Victoire the Veela'.
It all started when she was born. Since then, everyone praised her for her perfections, her beauty, her body. But really, Victoire hated the way she looked. She looked nothing like a Weasley, with long silvery-blonde hair, ice-blue eyes and pale skin with no freckles.
Once she started Hogwarts, boys fawned over her and girls hated her. She didn't have any friends, because all the girls were jealous of the attention boys gave her. When a boy asked her out, he didn't ask her out for her personality or her brains – simply her looks.
Her stupid Veela looks.
2. She wishes she was Rose.
Even though Rose and Victoire had a six year difference, Victoire knew she was jealous of her. Rose was the definition of perfect – she was stunningly beautiful, smart and nice. Rose could pull the Weasley look off better than anyone. Boys loved her, but so did girls. Rose was wise, gave amazing advice and everyone knew they could count on her to always be there for them.
And she was aware that Teddy loved Rose, maybe more than he loved her.
3. She was a total Daddy's girl.
Victoire aspired to be as good a person as her father, her hero. She loved to run her hands through his hair and finger his earrings when she sat on his lap. She loved his scars were a sign of his bravery.
It was Bill that she told first when she was pregnant, not Fleur.
4. The worst moment of her life was when she and Teddy had a fight.
Teddy was seven and Victoire was six. It was December 3rd and Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione had just walked into the Burrow with the newest Weasley arrival (who she was Rose, ironically). He'd been holding her for ten minutes and she'd been holding her for four, and he was already pestering her for Rose. She snapped at him and told him he wasn't even part of the family, so she should hold her.
She'll never be able to un-see the heartbroken look in his eyes.
5. She loved being the oldest Weasley.
Victoire loved having responsibility. She loved people. She loved telling people about her experiences and giving advice.
It's what made her such a good Prefect and eventual Head Girl.
6. She hated her birthday with a passion.
Most people would find this weird. Everyone LOVES their birthday - the presents, the greetings, the attention. But not Victoire. Because, her birthday was May 2nd - the anniversary of the end of the Second Wizarding War.
Her name might mean Victory, but that doesn't mean she felt victorious.
On her birthday, there was no cake, no smiles, no laughter. Some people, extremely
kind and thoughtful of them, would give her gifts, but they'd still remain melancholy.
Because how can you celebrate the day that so many lives were lost?
7. Teddy was her best friend.
Maybe it's because they were close in age and her uncle was his godfather, she'll never know.
But all she knew was Teddy and her had stuck together throughout the years, glued together at the hip. They'd been through childhood together, been through puberty at the same time, suffered through school together, they'd even moved in together, after becoming a couple. They told each other everything and were always there for one another.
That's why it stung as she watched him creep away from her birthday parties to visit his parents' graves, no matter how sympathetic she was.
8. Because she was the oldest Weasley, she felt she had to steer her younger siblings and cousins in the right direction.
Molly. Lucy. Dominique. Fred. James. Roxanne. Albus. Rose. Louis. Hugo. Lily.
She loved them all, and tried as hard as she could to look after them.
She attempted to bring Molly out of her shell a little and let loose - because grades weren't the most important thing in the world. She tried to tame Lucy, trying to get her to realise she was her own person and life wasn't a competition. She attempted to knock some sense into Dominique and tell her she was pretty enough - and she didn't need to compare herself to anyone or change the way she looked to get attention.
She tried to get Fred to lay off some of the more major pranks and stop being such a player. She attempted to get James to realise that being cocky and teasing others could really hurt some people. She tried to get Roxy to become more girly - and make more friends, outside the family. She attempted to get Albus to open up, and make friends other than Rose and Louis - because he was slowly drifting away into the shadows.
She tried to become more like little Rose, who was beautiful and intelligent - and didn't need steering in the right direction. She attempted to get along with Louis, the one person she didn't like much, though she knew it wasn't his fault. She tried to get Hugo to go out with girls, rather than stay inside studying. She attempted to show Lily that what she was doing wasn't right.
She tried. In vain.
Because what Victoire didn't notice were sometimes the things her cousins needed help with most.
9. Everyone was surprised when she told them she liked Quidditch.
It started when she first came to Hogwarts. A group of fellow first year guys came up to her and asked what she liked to do in her spare time. When she replied that she liked Quidditch, the boys laughed, thinking she was joking.
She went through similar experiences many times in her life, despite the fact that she had been dubbed the best Chaser since James Potter the First. She knew the reason why.
It was because she was part-Veela.
10. Everyone thought she was perfect but she definitely wasn't.
She was too skinny. Her friends and fellow classmates would tell her that all the time, but they meant it as a compliment. Her cousins did the same, as did her uncles and aunts. Her sister snorted whenever she asked her and she didn't like Louis enough to ask. Her Grandma Molly, however, always told her the truth – she told her she was on the verge of being a pile of skin and bones. And that's why Victoire loved her Grandma Molly.
She was too controlling. She knew this herself, and always felt bad about her need to be in control of her life and everyone else's. She didn't want to have to steer her cousins in the right direction, but she was supposed to. She didn't celebrate when she got the role of Prefect, then two years later when she became Head Girl. Because those roles were just proof that she was a control freak who loved to boss everyone around.
She was always worrying. Her Grandpa Arthur would tease her, telling her to calm down and relax – and to have some fun like the others. Rose was forever reassuring her that everything would turn out alright in the end and she shouldn't think things out too much. But she couldn't help it, she was just that kind of person.
Teddy was the only person who saw these imperfections, and loved her despite of them. Teddy was the only one who she could go crying to in the middle of the night. Teddy was the love of her life, her soulmate.
I love reviews more than I love cookies!
*smiles sheepishly* Um… okay, maybe NEARLY as much :P
