#apolline: work run-in

where: streets of diagon alley who: @lilyxjxevans

Apolline left the Ministry for her lunch break, having a few errands that she needed to run before heading back. She would have normally done it after work, but plans had been made with her fiancé, that she wanted this to be sorted prior.

She was coming out of a bakery, making sure she bought herself something to eat, and maybe something for Etienne, that when she turned the corner, she bumped into a body, drop a few of her bags to the ground.

"Je suis désolé." The blonde managed to keep her food from falling from her hands. "You okay?"

"How many special people change? How many lives are livin' strange? Where were you while we were getting high?" -Oasis's "Champagne Supernova"

It's hot, smoke and steam whirling around her form as she clambers in circles, head on a swivel, static running in her ears.

What happened?

The thought blares through her head as she feels the hot flickering of flames dancing dangerously close to her feet as she gathers her burdens and collapses on cool soil outside of the metal beams and frames that once held promise.

I'm not even supposed to be here

She thinks, feeling the sharp prick of something pressing and rubbing against her ribs, the friction of something digging into her muscular thigh, a tingling feeling consuming her hand like a colony of ants fit to find it's burrow in her skin.

Before she finds herself asleep, she can only muster a flurry of coughs as the sound of combustion, screams, and cries resonate around her.

She shouldn't even be here.

The sound of cheers and jeers resound around Apolline as she finds herself caught in the adrenaline pumping craze of having her arms locked around her opponents midriff and legs, handling them with tough grunts of exertion as she moves them into a hold of submission, and finally, the round is over.

She wipes a sheen of sweat from her forehead, letting her opponent go while shaking her sore arms out, holding out a hand to shake with them.

"Great game," Apolline gives nicely with a toothy smile that's missing an upper canine and incisor, shaking the just as coarse hand as her's of her opponent, who gives a gingered smile back that's just a bit too strained and a huff, huddling over to their team's bench with snide remarks and semi-reassuring back claps from their teammates.

Wiskayok's wrestling team, it's something she's glad to be on, something she wouldn't trade for the world— sure, it took a lot of work to prove she was worth it to the school board in comparison to the rest of the all male team, but she's worked her place onto the team– even though her teammates and opponents have unfriendly comments and looks to give most of the time.

She makes her way to the girl's locker room after a short approving touch on her shoulder from her coach who gives her a few words of gruff congrats

.While she changes from her dark blue wrestling uniform, she lets out grunts and huffs from her exertion; she still needs to get those photos in to the school newspaper, that'll be a pain, she almost pulled her bicep back there, now she's got more to do.

It's not long before she's changed into some dark shorts that her thighs fill out and a simple t-shirt with some random old animated series emblem on it— coming to walk the mostly silent halls of the school afterhours to make her way to the school newspaper's office with her bag slung over her shoulder.

The head of the newspaper is there to greet her as she pulls her camera case and photo book out to hand to her.

"Season's finally over," The head, Mal, remarks to her with a small smile, taking the photos that Pol has collected of the Lady and Men's Yellowjacket's games, including States, which the LY won. That was something to see, sort of— whatever.

"Not really, but for me? Sure as hell." Pol smirks back with a tired huff, rubbing the back of her still slightly sweaty neck.

Mal just looks back at her in the corner of her eye with a slight quirk of her lips.

"What's with that look?" Pol looks back at her, eyes narrowing with a anchored brow.

"Oh nothing... Just looks like you might have to work overtime. That Coach Scott dude told me that you were invited to go take the pictures for Nationals since there's extra space on the plane."

Pol winces, hand withdrawing from the back of her neck. "I got work this week... Does it really matter if I take the photos?"

"It can't hurt, can't you just get Daz to cover you?" Mal raises an eyebrow, well aware of Pol's working situation since she works the database for the autoshop Pol works at. They're pretty decent acquaintances. Good friends, it's good to have someone like minded on your side.

"He owes me..." Pol hums, rubbing the back of her head with her hand. "But do I really get anything out of flying out to Seattle? And I have surgery at the end of the month."

"With the girls who beat out the rest of the teams in the state, and bunked the boys to jackshit? Maybe you could learn a thing or two about coordination for once in your life." Mal retorts, "besides, there's no way this match will last anywhere till near the end of the month."

"And you also get a break from work..." Mal speaks in a sing-song voice and a smirk, she knows just how hard Pol works her heart.

"Maybe that's a bit convincing..." Pol muses with a small grin, zipping her bag back up and slinging it back over her shoulder.

"But you just want me out'a your hair for a week, don'you?" Pol turns on her foot with a grin sent Mal's way.

"Hey— where's the photos for State's finals?–" Mal calls, looking through Pol's photo book.

"Ah–Don't worry about it! I was– busy..." Pol assures on her way out nonchalantly, ceremoniously closing the door behind herself as her shoes clack against the tile of the school's empty hallways.

Apolline awakes to many things. Or maybe a lack of things, as she finds it's now night, the stars shining back to her eyes as they open groggily.

She lets a groan out, feeing the familiar feeling of ants in her skin from earlier, her good hand goes to her pain stricken hand, only to find it bandaged— her mind rises to fear, the memories of smoke and fire consuming her as she looks around, about to get up, only to be gently pressed on the shoulder to lay back down by Lady Yellowjackets's equipment manager. What was her name? Mindy? No... Misty? Yes, Misty.

"No, no, no, no, no— lay back down, you'll hurt yourself," The golden doodle haired girl rushes, pushing her glasses, stained with fog from the fire, up her nose bridge.

Pol lets out a choked grunt once again, hesitantly relenting as Misty goes somewhere into the woods, "What ha—" she goes to call, too late.

Pol's head darts around as she goes quiet, she sees there's a fire set up, with most of the Lady Yellowjackets sat around it.

Key word, "most". Pol by no means knows shit about half these girls, but she knows that some faces are missing.

Fuck, She inwardly whines out at the fact at hand, and as her hand goes down to feel at her ribcage, she feels it, a piece of shrapnel engaged in her skin, she hisses silently.

That'll be a pain... She thinks, her hand going down to now feel at her thigh. Same case... She'll have to deal with that later.

She's pulled from her thoughts as she hears giggles and laughter from the girls around the fire. And suddenly they're confessing stupid shit. Such as;

"—I steal shitty close from T.J. Maxx," Lottie says, looking down with her cheeks pulled up.

"What?" Van incredulously manages in hilarity in the hindsight of what has happened.

"I– return them, and get credit that I never use," Lottie's brows raise in the randomness of her own words and everything. "–and I have thousands of dollars in T.J. bucks."

The girls all laugh even harder.

"I would... sneak down after my parents went to bed and watch The Colour Of Night, and pause on Bruce Willis's wang..." Jackie admits with a fond smile at the groups new distraction.

"Now that is definitely why we crashed," Tai jests with a grin, to which Van has to cover her mouth with her fist to quell her laughter.

Pol can't stop her own smile from coming up despite that pain in her side and hand— really everywhere, biting her lip with a quiet hiss. She feels invisible, but she likes that, it gives her peace of mind. For now.

I was doing Jessica Sombert behind the bleachers during the final of States. Sorry, Mal, no photos for anyone but myself, She admits to herself, keeping her confession to herself with a creeping small smile coming upon her cheeks as her good hands comes to rub at her face with a sigh.

That is until the loud screams of Coach Ben resonate and reverb around the trees, alerting everyone, and before Pol knows it the girls are standing up, some running over. Pol is in no condition to stand, her head is still spinning and she feels like absolute shit.

Turns out Misty cauterized Coach Ben's leg amputation wound. Turns out Coach Ben had an amputation.

Jesus Christ, how could things go to shit so soon? In such little time? Was she out that long?

At least the sights are nice... luckily enough her camera didn't break in the crash, that would be a pain, she's in enough debt on account of existing, and cameras are expensive enough...

Maybe she'll find a deer or something to take a print of, but they won't be here for long, she probably won't even have the time to take any photographs. Right?

BIO.

ètienne didn’t come into france screaming; he came in with intention. as a child rather than playing with toys he played with books even when he couldn’t read yet. he would flip through and point at the pictures and the big words that went along with them. toys bored him but books always satisfied him. this was a running theme in his life. his parents, gabriel and aurélie, fostered this desire in young ètienne, urging him to learn to read at a very young age: two years old. ètienne never disappointed.

as he grew into a small boy, ètienne began reading about the magic he was conjuring without understanding what it was. his parents would explain things but he didn’t just take his word for it — he needed to see it in the written word to know what was true. he wanted to know all of it, especially the parts his parents didn’t want him knowing about. what was the good in learning about something of not to learn about all of it? that became his motto in life.

before he knew it he would have a sister, estelle. he did what he could to show her the ropes, teach her to read and instill everything knowledge had to offer. he was never overflowing with emotions but that didn't mean he had nothing to offer his sister, parents or anyone else. if he cared it was obvious.

when he finally got his letter for beauxbatons he was beyond the moon. finally he had a place to go with an extensive library, people to talk to, new things to learn about and honing his craft. it’s what he had waited for his whole eleven years and there it was. leaving home was an adjustment but ètienne had no problem making friends. in fact, he was quite good at getting people to like him. if he liked the person he brought them into his circle. he had his pick of the litter. he always believed he was simply endearing to the max. however, that wasn't the case. ètienne was 1/8 veela, a fact of which he was unaware.

the one person that always told him no was apolline beauséjour. he tried asking her out but she refused him. he was confused about it because everyone else jumped at the chance. he accepted it for what it was but she was someone filed in his memory bank because of that two-letter word. from then on, he went on with his playboy ways, finding anyone he wanted and getting what he wanted.

after graduating from beauxbatons, ètienne decided to move to london. he wanted to see more of the world and going from france to work at the international law office in the ministry would give him the chance to spread his french roots into london. there was the added benefit that that's where his little sister had been for some time.

unfortunately while he was there he found out that apolline was attacked and sent back to france. he immediately went to see her. she may have turned him down in the past but they knew one enough well enough from being in the same circles that he truly cared to know that she was okay. when he got there, the pair's parents announced that there would be a betrothal. shock would put it lightly. ètienne cared for apolline but a betrothal was out of the blue and knocked the wind out of him, not knowing that he ever wanted to get married to anyone.

now ètienne found himself at a crossroads between a betrothal, a war where he finds himself neutral because he doesn't know what to do, clinging to his job to keep him sane, hooking up with whoever he can -- his life was messier than it had ever been. he had to deal with the cleanup because ètienne didn't do well in mess.

Fleur was quarter-veela, and grew up in France. She grew up with her parents Renard Delacour and her half-veela mother Apolline Delacour. She also had a much younger sister, Gabrielle. Fleur's grandmother was full Veela and at some point contributed a hair, that would later become the core element of Fleur's wand.

Fleur attended Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, where she worked hard to earn good marks. She excelled at charms, arthimancy, and mathematics.

During her last school year in 1994 she, along with Beauxbatons' Headmistress Madame Olympe Maxime and a dozen other Beauxbatons students travelled to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her school did this to enter in the Triwizard Tournament. They arrived in a huge, powder-blue chariot pulled by roughly a dozen flying horses on 30 October at around 6:00 pm. She laughed derisively during Albus Dumbledore's speech during the Welcoming Feast. Part way through the feast, she walked over to the Gryffindor table to ask Ron Weasley for the bouillabaisse in front of him. On her way back, she caught the eyes of most of the other boys in the hall.

Fleur placed her name in the Goblet of Fire, and during the Hallowe'en Feast, was selected to be Beauxbatons' student representative and Triwizard Champion. While awaiting further instructions in a small room off the Great Hall, she learned that the Goblet of Fire had selected a fourth Champion — Harry Potter. When Ludo Bagman told her what happened, she first thought he was joking, then was surprised and outraged that they were to let a "little boy" compete in the Tournament.

Prior to the First Task, Fleur took part in the Wand weighing ceremony presided over by Garrick Ollivander. After being handed the wand, it produced pink and gold sparks and was confirmed, by Fleur, to contain a Veela hair as a core; a gift from her grandmother. Ollivander described her wand as "inflexible", and in great working condition when it produced a bouquet of flowers without problem. Fleur's entrance into the Tournament was overshadowed in the Daily Prophet due to Harry Potter's participation; she was only mentioned in the last line of Rita Skeeter's article, with her name misspelled.

Forewarned by Madame Maxime that the First Task would involve dragons, Fleur tackled the task on 24 November 1994. To eliminate all advantages, the champions were made to choose a dragon at random. She drew the Common Welsh Green, and faced her dragon second after Cedric Diggory. She managed to lure the dragon into a sleeping trance, but was immobilised when the dragon snored and released a jet of flame that set her skirt on fire. Fleur extinguished the fire with water from her wand, then managed to retrieve the golden egg.

In the run-up to the Yule Ball, Fleur attempted to attract Cedric as a date, but he had already asked Cho Chang. Caught unaware by her Veela heritage, Ron Weasley spontaneously and unwisely asked her to the ball, to which her initial reaction was seeming disdain and shock. Suddenly aware of what he had done he ran away before she could answer him. This left Ron feeling incredibly embarrassed for several days to come and word spread around the Gryffindor common room.

Finally, Fleur selected Ravenclaw Quidditch team captain Roger Davies as her partner. Davis was completely helpless to her charms and to whom she spent some of the night complaining about the flaws of Hogwarts and the British Wizarding education system in general. Fleur and Roger, along with the other Champions and their partners opened the dancing at the Yule Ball. As the night wore on Fleur and Roger left the Great Hall and headed for the gardens, sneaking into the rose bushes for a romantic engagement of some kind.

On 24 February, Fleur participated in the Second Task. Having figured out the clue in the golden egg and understanding the need to breathe underwater for an hour, she chose to use the Bubble-Head Charm. During the Task, she was attacked by Grindylows and was forced to retreat. Unaware that the hostages were not in any real danger, she was quite hysterical and fought so hard to return to the water that even Madame Maxime had difficulty restraining her. She was overjoyed when Harry, determined to rescue all the hostages, not just his own, returned to the surface with both Ron and her sister, Gabrielle. She thanked him and Ron profusely by giving them a kiss on each cheek, and after the incident became friendly toward the two. From then on she came to view Harry as a respected friend. Upon learning that she had been awarded twenty-five points, she remarked that she deserved zero, as she had failed to retrieve her "hostage." After the first two tasks, Fleur was in last place going into the Third Task.

On 27 May 1995, Fleur joined the other Champions in viewing the beginnings of the maze for the Third Task on the site of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.[25] On the morning of the Third Task, Fleur was visited by her mother and Gabrielle who had been invited to watch the final part of the Triwizard Tournament. She also laid eyes on Bill Weasley for the first time, and was immediately attracted to him.

Being in last place, Fleur was to be last to enter the maze behind Harry Potter, Cedric Diggory, and Viktor Krum. However, due to the machinations of Barty Crouch Jnr — disguised, via Polyjuice Potion, as Alastor Moody — Fleur did not last long. Crouch wanted Harry to reach the Triwizard Cup so that he could be transported to meet with Lord Voldemort. To get the other champions out of the way, Crouch used Moody's magical eye to locate Fleur in the maze and stun her, though she managed to scream once before it hit her.[27] When Harry returned with Cedric's dead body, who had been murdered by Peter Pettigrew, Fleur and her fellows from Beauxbatons were the first to realise Cedric was dead and were horrified; Fleur herself let out a scream and clapped her hands over her mouth.

After the Triwizard Tournament and the murder of Cedric Diggory, Fleur attended the Leaving Feast at Hogwarts. This feast served as a memorial to Cedric. During the feast she was seen being very upset, as Cedric was a friend of hers. Fleur left Hogwarts the day after with her family, saying goodbye to Harry and Ron. She kissed Harry on the cheek and proceeded to tell him that she hoped they would meet again. She was hoping to return to England to work and improve her patchy English.

During the summer of 1995, Fleur secured a part-time job at Gringotts. It was then that she was reacquainted with Bill Weasley, who had returned from Egypt and taken a desk job to help the Order of the Phoenix, and the two began dating. Fleur and Bill dated for a year, falling in love, until Bill proposed to her. Fleur accepted, and in the summer of 1996, Bill brought Fleur to The Burrow so she could get to know his family. She was delighted to know that Harry was going to stay with the Weasleys for the remainder of the summer.

However, her blunt nature and critical attitude created conflict between her and the female members of the Weasley family, including Hermione Granger. Mrs Weasley did not care for Fleur at all, believing that she was not the right choice for her son. Ginny and Hermione disliked her for her general attitude towards everything; Ginny gave Fleur the nickname "Phlegm," although they never openly used it in front of her. Still, Fleur was tolerated for Bill's sake. She spent Christmas that year at the Burrow as well, further annoying Mrs Weasley by loudly stating her dislike of Celestina Warbeck, Mrs Weasley's favourite singer.

On 30 June 1997, during the Battle of the Astronomy Tower Bill was brutally savaged by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. Because Greyback was not transformed Bill did not become a werewolf, but rather developed some wolf-like qualities (such as a preference for very rare steaks). Fleur rushed to Hogwarts with Bill's parents and was shaken by Bill's scarred face. She fired up at once at Mrs Weasley's assumption that she would not now want to marry Bill, since he was no longer attractive. Taking offence she criticised both the idea that she would not wish to marry him out of vanity, and that his feelings may have changed towards her because of possible werewolf contamination.

Fleur in fact, took pride in his wounds as living proof of his bravery and stated she didn't care about how he looked as she was "good-looking enough for both of them." Mrs Weasley, finally seeing that Fleur and Bill were truly in love, reconciled with her future daughter-in-law over Bill's hospital bed, and offered Fleur the use of her Aunt Muriel's goblin-made tiara for her wedding day.[30] In the days following, Fleur took care of Bill as he recovered from his injuries, and attended the funeral of Albus Dumbledore.

On 27 July 1997, four days before Harry's seventeenth birthday, Fleur was part of the effort to get Harry safely to The Burrow and participated in the battle that ensued. She participated in the battle out of loyalty to Harry, when he previously saved her sister's life in 1995. She took on the role of one of the fake Harrys, using Polyjuice Potion to take on his physical appearance. Paired with Bill, the two were to fly north on a Thestral in an effort to fool any pursuing Death Eaters.

After departing, Fleur and Bill personally witnessed the death of Alastor Moody. This happened after a dozen or more Death Eaters descended on the Order in an effort to capture Harry. Fleur and Bill were chased by half a dozen Death Eaters, but managed to escape and return to the Burrow and relay the news. Fleur was greatly upset over Moody's death and voiced the opinion that someone may have betrayed them, as the Death Eaters seemed to know the plan to escort Harry to safety.

On 1 August, 1997, Fleur and Bill were married at The Burrow. The ceremony and reception took place in a marquee tent which "revealed rows and rows of fragile golden chairs set on either side of a long purple carpet."

White and gold flowers and golden balloons were some of the many unique elements added to the occasion. Ginny and Gabrielle were both bridesmaids. Fleur wore a simple white dress and Muriel's tiara, and looked so beautiful that Bill did not look as though he had ever met Fenrir Greyback. The celebration was overshadowed, though, by the news that the Ministry of Magic had fallen to Lord Voldemort, and the death of Rufus Scrimgeour. Death Eaters, with the full power of the Ministry behind them, broke the protective spells surrounding the Burrow and Apparated into the reception. Fleur was questioned by them, along with the rest of the Weasley family on the whereabouts of Harry Potter, but was later free to go.

Fleur and Bill relocated to Shell Cottage, and spent their first Christmas there together, along with Bill's younger brother Ron, who had secretly come to stay with them after abandoning Harry and Hermione on their Horcrux hunt.

Following Harry, Ron, and Hermione's escape from Malfoy Manor, Fleur helped to look after them and their fellow escapees: Dean Thomas, Luna Lovegood, Garrick Ollivander, and Griphook. She helped Hermione recover from the torture she suffered at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange, and healed Griphook's legs with Skele-Gro.[34] Over the course of the next few weeks, she looked after her unexpected guests, although she disliked Griphook. When Ollivander was well enough to be transferred to Aunt Muriel's, she asked him to take Muriel's tiara back with him as she never had a chance to return it after the wedding. Fleur expressed concern over Harry's plans to leave Shell Cottage on his quest, telling him it was better for him to stay where it was safe.

Alongside her husband and his family, Fleur answered Neville Longbottom's call to arms to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. During the tense reunion between Percy Weasley and his family, she led Harry Potter and Remus Lupin in a side conversation regarding Lupin's son, so they would not intrude.[36] Fleur would have witnessed the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort, thus ending the Second Wizarding War.

Following the war, Fleur and Bill had three children; Victoire, Dominique, and Louis Weasley. She was granted medals of honour from the French and British Ministries of Magic for her actions in the war.

Hi, could you write something about Fleur's 'fameely'?

Sirens

They are a family of singers and it was once joked that they weren’t descendants from Veelas but actually from Sirens.

(What people don’t know is that Veelas are the land equivalent of Sirens)

Fleur has a beautiful voice, but after the war it takes on an almost raspy sound to it, as of she smokes a pack a day for thirty years. She screamed and cried so much in that time that it affected her voice, she sings American country music to hide the raspiness.

Gabrielle’s voice is like that of an Angel. She takes up writing songs and playing any instrument she can. She becomes popular in little bars and cafes until she gets her break. But by then, singing for the locals is all she knows and will do. She teaches her daughters how to play the piano and how to hit the high notes.

Jacques was never a fan of singing in his youth, but his mother put him in choir and his father dropped him off at practice every night. Once he was away at school, the most he would sing was in the shower, or on one strange dare, in the middle of the cafeteria. Without that dare, he would’ve never met his wife.

Apolline loves to sing, from the moment she could make sound, her mother insisted that she was singing. She took ever opportunity to share her voice with the world, but once she got to school, it was cursed out of her. She started to only sing in the showers and quietly at that, until a boy a year older than her started singing her favorite song in the cafeteria and she had to join him.

(They are a family of singers that all lose it at some point)

Victoire sings too, her voice a little bit unsure until she gets to the first chorus of any song. But that changes once she has to put down a screaming baby, she ends up singing more in the wee hours of the night than any other time. It brings back memories of happier times and she finds old country songs works best on her fussy babies.

Dominique has a beautiful voice, sure and clear and magical. She makes heads turn even when she sings off key at Quidditch celebrations (Weasley is our Queen never leaves the Hogwarts halls). She sings to sooth herself, and it had been longer than she ever realized, but singing takes away the silence.

Louis doesn’t sing, he has to be drunk or stoned or numb. He had to not know what he’s actually doing for the words to tumble out and only then he’s singing along to whatever song is playing. But his soft voice is a curiosity to anyone who knows him, his ever quiet persona breaks with music. He still prefers to dance though with a partner, his wife or children, is best.

(They are a family of singers, even if none of them will sing in public anymore)

Jacques is the first to die, old age and sickness take him in seven months. They know this by an unwanted pregnancy that’s been around just as long. He dies and the family descends, at least this family does.

Victoire has three small children, her fourth is home with her husband that she asked to stay away this time. Dominique and Louis arrive together, from one train to the next, they are exhausted and sleep deprived and sad, so desperately and incredibly sad.

Dominique can’t control her emotions anymore and it’s too too much for her to try and play it straight. She is counting her life in weeks instead of months, the life inside of her is getting too big for her tiny frame.

Louis has already played the game of life and death, he has stood on the cliff side by his home. He was born ten weeks early and weighed only four pounds at one point in his life. He doesn’t know how to make the tears stop coming.

(The three of them arrive first and hold each other and cry until they can’t anymore)

Fleur and Gabrielle arrive next, he was their father, their papa. He taught them their abc’s and also how to throw a punch, he was as kind as he was ruthless.

He raised his girls for danger and they took off running with it on their own.

Fleur can’t comfort her three grieving children because she doesn’t know them as she should, but she wants to hold them close to her as she once did when they were babies.

Gabrielle brings her four daughters, each of them as beautiful as the next and grieves with them. She had never once imagined that she did something better than her older sister.

(But they are the two that sing at the vigil)

Apolline goes next the night of the funeral, her grief is so unstoppable that it stops her heart as she sleeps. She welcomes the end of her life and is happy to see her husband once more, they sing together as if they’re school children again.

This time the seven cousins sing together, they stay close and hold one another. The oldest is Victoire, the youngest is little Abbie at twenty-two months old. They make it work even if it doesn’t seem to make sense.

Death feels like a threat after that and they leave France. Victoire dragging her young children home, along with the stowaways that are her baby sister and brother. Dominique cries in her window seat on the train, Louis sings to his goddaughter and tries not to cry anymore.

(He fails, they all do)

Fleur and Gabrielle clean, for weeks and weeks, eventually joined by a husband with red hair and lanky limbs. They clean and discover and cry, at night they sing. They sing the old songs that their parents love and learn to say goodbye.

Fleur will go back home and cry and sing to herself when she can get out of bed, she had never been good with holding in her grief.

Gabrielle will go back to her bars and cafes, she will sing to her locals and all the people that are falling in love with her. She’ll bring her daughters and in the quiet moments will teach them something new.

(They are a family of Sirens, singing is what they do best)

Can you tell me about Apolline and Sirius's interactions?

LISTEN UP PEOPLE APOLLIRIUS WAS A VERY REAL POTENTIAL SHIP AT ONE POINT

Unresolved Sexual Tension™

Three Broomsticks regulars.

Later, The Boggart's Closet regulars.

Unintentionally matching outfits.

Drunken kisses at 3 A.M. which both will deny ever happening, or pretend it never did.

Long hugs, especially after the holiday breaks. She knows when she squeezes him too tight, because he'll wince, and she can feel the damage throbbing beneath the loose circle of her arms.

Cuddles on the Gryffindor common room couch, which will always start with Apolline, and end with all the Marauders. Sirius is often the first to initiate.

Firewhiskey drinking competitions that became tradition at Gryffindor ragers (held after every glorious Quidditch win). Sirius has never lost to Apolline, but she still tries.

Apolline works with Sirius as a free-lance bounty hunter (she wanted to be an Auror but she didn't meet the academic requirement), and with Remus part-time at Flourish & Blotts during the lulls, which is perfect, because she also gets to see Peter, who managed to wrangle a job at Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour (they've all got really small low-income jobs at first).

So they're essentially "partners".

She's roommates with Marlene, so she sees Sirius a lot (or more like a lot of Sirius) at home once they start dating.

Mary is their third roommate. She helped Apolline and Marlene get Sirius the motorbike for his birthday, seeing as her brother is a mechanic.

It became his chosen mode of transportation for a good six months, and so they had to go everywhere on it, or else he wouldn't go at all (a drama king).

Long motorbike rides at sunset or in the still of night.

"Thanks, Shanks," is his go-to thank you.

Resolve their fights with a duel.

Having seen potential in her, she gets taken under Alastor Moody's wing as an apprentice. She overhears a warrant out for Sirius Black, on the run for murdering Peter Pettigrew.

She goes after him first, because she knows that the Aurors won't be gentle with him if they find him.

Her death is pinned on him too.

paradise circus

PARADISE CIRCUS

it started out small. an idea whispered in the shadows creature to creature. tired of the stares and tired of the comments. there was no space for them at the table, the world was already caught up in anti-muggleborn sentiment, they weren’t ready to confront their creature discrimination. so they would make space. if the world wouldn’t open up a seat then they would make them.

having come together for a common goal, creatures and half-creatures alike are looking to find their own footing in the world. they want more rights and less discrimination and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. the group has only recently begun to make appearances in the last 6 months or so and have been making headlines with their brash and possibly destructive ways. recruitment is a big goal for them at the moment and they’re working towards collecting more from all over the world, full and half-creatures. the creature special ops team was called in to help try to control the situation.

THE REBELLION

- SANGUINI

70+. VAMPIRE. MICHIEL HUISMAN (OPEN) 

sanguini has had previous run ins with the vampire specialist from the creature special ops team in the netherlands. never been arrested, they’re now in the U.K. currently being hunted by the CSO. not afraid of a little murder.

- CRUMP

30+. WEREWOLF. JASON MOMOA (OPEN) 

cool, collected, smooth, the werewolf that got away from the Werewolf specialist. they now find themselves in the same country again and ready to start it up once more.

- MAXIME

20+. HALF-GIANT. ELIZABETH DEBICKI (OPEN) 

new to the country and new to the group, maxime has grown tired of the discrimination they have experienced and is willing to do whatever it takes to stop it. has connections with the giant world.

- D'EATH

30+. HALF-VAMPIRE. GEMMA CHAN (OPEN) 

d'eath is looking for a place to belong and they feel as though they have found it with the rebellion. a newcomer to the group, they haven’t tested their abilities much but are prepared to do anything to keep their place.

APOLLINE DELACOUR

32. HALF-VEELA. GUGU MBATHA-RAW (SUGGESTED) 

apolline delacour is more the logistical type. known for her beauty and direct veela connection within her home country, she brings to the group a popular name to help push for their cause and chase good PR.

ELDRED WORPLE

20+. WIZARD. TOM HOLLAND (OPEN) 

could be part of rebellion, could be citizen and sympathetic to their cause and join the rebellion later. studies vampires and wrote blood brothers: my life amongst the vampires.

HELIOTROPE WILLIS

20+. WITCH. DAKOTA FANNING (OPEN) 

could be part of rebellion, could be citizen and sympathetic to their cause and join the rebellion later. leads the trolls rights movement, believes trolls aren’t dangerous.

THE SEVENFOLD THRONE CHARACTER INTRO ―

name ― julien théodore de vère, crown prince of erymthia age ― 25 pronouns ― he/him  sexuality ― gay

of all the royal children, it’s clear who the crowd is looking at. who they’re cheering for: the crowned prince, now. julien. the tallest, holding himself with a regal humility, a thick plait of brown curls draped over his shoulder. an ornamental comb serves as his crown, as gilded as the light dripping down his dark skin. he wears a doublet of sea-turquoise, sprays of foam-lace at his wrists and neck; he wears his moles, too, as stars in the galaxy of his skin, and the lapping layers of his cloaks, translucent blue, as waves kissing the shoreline. But the thing he wears best, the thing tatian hates him for, is his smile.

his father’s smile. the smile of the people’s prince.

PSD/INSPO ― @niabellis​ / @ohscerpcnts​

TAGGING ― @semblanche​ / @zuiderhaaks​ / @holotones​ / @energydeficient​ ( not an official taglist, but send an ask to be added/removed ! )

( + some usual ramblings below the cut ! )

julien is the eldest of six, the next in line to the throne of erymthia. as such, he has myriad expectations to uphold, especially as his mother, the queen, is in the twilight stages of dementia. even before she stopped being able to recognise her own children, he had to bear the burden of being the oldest child; most of his siblings needed parental attention they only got from their father, so julien had to step up and look after his siblings. when his father fell ill, he had to take on more and more of the responsibility of raising his siblings, even as they got old enough to take care of themselves. along with that, he had the expectations of the kingdom, learning how to be a monarch alongside his mother, learning how to be a diplomat alongside his father.

by the time his father died, julien’s personality had fully cemented: he’s a giver. a compulsive caretaker whose purpose for living is to serve other people, to make them happy. it makes him beloved by his people, the people’s prince, always willing to listen to them, and beloved by his siblings for always listening to them and making their problems his to solve. His compassion is endless, as is his patience, for the most part, which gives him a reputation as the person to go to when you’re hurt.

for him, making other people happy is a form of validation, a way to make himself feel needed, wanted. all he wants to do is provide that happiness -- it can make his kindness toxic sometimes, preferring to give them instant gratification rather than tough love that’ll benefit them in the long run. being part of a family where everyone else needs the attention he only wants has left him with the mentality that he doesn’t deserve that attention; he doesn’t know the first thing about looking after himself, only pleasing other people. Predictably, he gravitates towards high-maintenance people because looking after them gives him the validation he craves, only serving to reinforce his belief that he’s only worth something when keeping other people happy: his partner of nine years, luc, is definitely one of those people, and while their relationship isn’t toxic, per se, it’s definitely heavily codependent. luc’s self-worth depends on julien’s care, and julien’s self-worth depends on his ability to give that care to luc.

however, another facet of his personality, the part he considers the ugliest, is the simmering resentment. The exhaustion, the fact that he knows he’s often being taken advantage of, the shame that comes from realising some people, even some of his own siblings, only want him around because he can help him. really, fixing his self-worth to his ability to care for others is only a temporary solution, a rebound to deal with the fact that he received little-to-no attention or care growing up.

although it’s fucked him up good and proper, his kindness and ability to understand anyone is also his greatest strength, especially in diplomacy, and as a king in all but name. although his sister apolline handles the politics, he’s the public face of the dynasty, and his common touch is legendary; as is his ability to reach diplomatic understandings with foreign dignitaries. he’s the softest of the de vere siblings, the most loving, and in the right circumstances he could be the greatest.

but the circumstances he finds himself in are precarious, a kingdom on the edge of war, a mother on the edge of death. the family he’s worked so hard to maintain, that he defines himself by being able to maintain, breaking apart. More than that, he’s suffering from the same illness that killed his father. He refuses to let himself show weakness, he doesn’t deserve to show weakness when his family, partner and country still need his help -- but his time is running out, and the selfish, exhausted part of him wants to take what little chance he has to heal.

For the lines out of your fanfics, I already flagged my favourites ones for TTS but two of them really feel like they embody all of your fics for me and the relationships you wonderfully depict whether it's in TDTWC or CTC or TEC or MOY or TTS : "I wasn't running away from home. I was running towards it." (which I have often thought about getting tattooed but I'll ask for your permission if I ever find the place to do it) and "I think I feel like the truest version of myself when I'm with you."

ok so like.... I haven’t answered this for days mostly because you blew my fucking mind and i didn’t know what to say !!!!!!! but i’m literally so honoured that you’d ever even entertain the possibility of getting something i’ve written tattooed. that’s like... mind-blowing and incredible and humbling, so thank you? and ofc you’d have my permission wtf. 

and wow i love how you’ve very succinctly summarised all of my fics with one line alone that’s quite powerful. i’ve always felt like all of my works have the idea of home and belonging and finding that place as a central theme, but it’s really nice to know that readers are getting that impression too. because ofc texts belong to their readers as much as they do their authors so whatever anyone else finds in it is as valid as what i’ve put in it. but yeah, i’m glad that’s what resonates with you because that’s def what resonates with me when i look back at my contribution to this fandom and try to make sense of it. 

so yeah, thank you for this lovely message apolline <3333

[thenectarinediaries]

23.08 ...more?

[The nectarines are gone, but I am still sitting here with my journal open, writing something out as if I were going to publish it, looking back over the day through the prism of food. And I am hesitating about publishing this one because it turned out to be quite heavy - I will see how I feel about it in the morning. On the one hand, it’s an important admission and maybe will start discussions with other people - it already has. On the other, it’s painfully private. On the third hand, you have to feel exposed to be known. On the fourth hand, I still don’t want anyone to know, ever. Genuine quandary. In any case, a bitch will be seeking help.]

The day has been cold, so my cotton socks and I baked a sweet potato for dinner: 

sweet potato - bit of vegetable oil (I like to use the oil from my jar of dried tomatoes) - the end of the pot of ricotta - red onion - lemon zest - salt, pepper, chives 

Stab the poor sweet potato repeatedly with a fork, all over. Rub it with vegetable oil and put it in the oven at 180° fan for an hour or so, until it’s all squishy and soft inside, then cut it open and mash it up a bit and add the toppings. It is beautiful and delicious. I enjoyed this dinner very much. 

What got me going was the fact that I hesitated about eating a yoghurt afterwards. I felt like eating something else, something sweet, but I also found myself thinking “ok, do you really deserve that though?” 

What a shitty question! 

And I realised that this is a very common thought for me, and that it’s a problem. In fact, it’s a disorder.  That despite loving food (really, loving in a big way) I have a very unhealthy relationship with it. 

I didn’t drink with Pascale. Progressively, I gave up pretty much all alcohol while we were together, even when she was having alcohol I would refuse to join in. Today I was wondering why, because I love it! I love mixing a drink as much as I love cooking. I love tasting different things and I really love beer. At first it was a question of drinking beer out of the bottle, which Pascale hated me doing but which is part of what I enjoy about having a beer - so rather than drink it out of a glass, I preferred to go without. Then it spread to other alcohols, which I enjoyed not-having more than I enjoyed having most of the time, and it spread to food as an unhealthy coping mechanism for an unhealthy part of the relationship. 

It hasn’t been too hard to drink alcohol again because I have always done it with people other than Pascale, but it is much harder to let go of all the other deprivational habits when I am on my own. They have been developed over the course of a few years and are deeply rooted. I can’t stop eating less than I need, then inevitably compensating by eating too much. I would rather be light-headed than have a snack. I need to feel like I “deserve” everything I eat. I count the calories, do the workouts, enjoy hunger as if it were some kind of success to function despite running on empty. I would guess that a lot of people do this.

After trying on some clothes today and seeing how they fell on me, I was a bit bummed because I don’t like my body much. It’s not so much a question of being fat or skinny - it’s the shapes it is made of, the look of my skin. I feel like I can deal with this dissatisfaction most days because I am dedicated to telling myself “it doesn’t matter if you aren’t pretty, you are much more than that, your body is strong and that’s what matters” - except that I don’t follow through on that and still spend awful amounts of time and energy trying to make myself a more “desirable” shape, or, failing that (it’s clearly failing), to exert some kind of small control. If I can’t be a “desirable” shape, then I will own my undesirability. I feel like navigating between “self respect” and “self restraint” is like walking on a tightrope for me, and I am not always very good at it. 

I was telling Gaëlle the other day that I don’t like wearing makeup because it’s too hard to take it off and feel ugly again. I just don’t put it on, as a favour to myself and I try to also make it a question of principle for my students - that they should see women without makeup and looking professional nonetheless. But I still hate seeing my face without it, especially now that Adina is taking photos of us all the time. 

The anxiety always stems from the same fight between wanting to respect my authentic, talkative, yoghurt-eating, buttless, braless, bare-faced self and wanting to bottle it up, cover it up, make myself disappear and be discreet and palatable because I am worried - sometimes - that I am unlovable. Obviously I am not unlovable. However, I am suddenly alone and sometimes the two adjectives get mixed up, especially when I am thinking so much about love and writing something serious (academic writing in particular is a hard place for me to be.)

One of my healthier coping mechanisms is to channel French influencer Jeanne Damas when I feel bad about myself. I play act the Parisian It Girl. I am not ugly; I am low-maintenance Parisian chic. I lift my chin up and act a little arrogant. I am not ugly, I am a different kind of striking beauty and if you can’t see it, you should get your eyes tested and social security will pay for it. Most of the time this works quite well, because even if I am not Jeanne Damas, the rest is, in fact, true. The food blog has also helped in keeping my interest in food on the healthy side of things. Pragmatically, I put more on the plate when I am going to photograph it, and once it’s on the plate, I generally finish it. The excitement of using the nectarines made me eat desserts, which I usually avoid. And I was more interested in learning and trying things out than depriving myself. It encouraged abundance.

It’s Virgo season, it’s time for clarity. These are some of the contradictions that sit within me. I know this post isn’t the half of it and that there are so many factors outside of myself that play into it - but it’s a start, it’s a relief to start.

Robyn says to herself, “come on, let’s have it out”, well, geez, I really am having it out with myself at the moment huh.

DICHEN LACHMAN? No, that’s actually VICTOIRE WEASLEY from the NEXT GEN ERA. You know, the child of FLEUR WEASLEY ( NEÉ DELACOUR ) and BILL WEASLEY? Only 27 years old, this SLYTHERIN alumni works as a DRAGONOLOGIST and is sided with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. SHE identifies as GENDERQUEER and is a 1/8TH VEELA who is known to be MERCURIAL, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, and STUBBORN but also LOYAL, PASSIONATE, and STRATEGIC. — &&.

HEADCANON ONE:

Character Name: Victoire Apolline Delacour-Weasley

VICTOIRE: Seventeen years of hearing stories about those who died on her ‘birthday’ before her. Over a decade of not celebrating it when she realized what it meant to others. Of course, she understands that this is the burden she carries – while her cousins bear namesakes of those who had fallen before them, she is the painful reminder of the day they lost people – so they could win freedom. She is the h e l l f i r e that is left after a victory, scorching technicolor brutal memories into the minds of those who were left behind. Still, she is a Victory none the less, and her family adopted her the day of a horrible day when she was a baby. They chose her instead of the pain, they named her after the good instead of seeing the bad.   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 – of course the Veela genes help ( or do they? ) but if there’s anything she’s gotten from this namesake it’s the love of music. She’s sure that if she wasn’t going to work with dragons when she was older it would be with music – something she practically speaks as a language. The name might sound too flowery or too soft for Victoire – 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 – she has times where parts of her mother and grandmother comes out.   DELACOUR: While she embraces the Weasley, Victoire also embraces her mother’s French heritage. If there’s anything of her mother, of this side of the family that comes out – it’s 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 she’s not always connected to. It reminds her that she’s not been alone in being discriminated against or objectified, that others understand what it’s like to be in her place to some extent. It’s then that she’s able to embrace the girl, that she’s able to feel like one and not always so at war with her body and herself. WEASLEY: If the other parts of her name didn’t already come with enough precedence – perhaps the name ‘Weasley’ was the icing on the cake. She couldn’t be prouder to be a Weasley, no matter how much fussing her grandmother does or how everyone is in everyone’s business – 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. Even though she looked different from some of her family, so did so many of her other extended family members. She took comfort in the fact that Weasley-Potters were a mixed bunch, in personality, in races, in ideals, and her being different was celebrated. There may have been a thirst to know her heritage the older she got, one that would later be quenched, but her real family were the Weasley’s. They chose her, they were better than her blood family ever was, not that she could remember them.

Pronouns & Gender:   She/Her. Victoire identifies as Genderqueer.

HEADCANON TWO:

gender dysphoria tw

C h a n g i n g. From the minute Victoire was born, she was always fidgeting, always moving and her first display of magic was at 4 years old, when she tried to change her hair blue like Teddy’s. Instead, it changed her beautiful crop of dark brown into a dirty blonde. Often, she’d find herself envying Teddy’s abilities to change, feeling uncomfortable in her skin and angry that it wasn’t as easy for her. As she grew older, she came to understand  what her body was, what it would be and that she’d never be able to change herself like Teddy or change herself at all. Any change that she’d 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 – there was something she felt growing in her soul that was just … something else. It didn’t 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: genderqueer. Of course, after she realized this she told her parents, getting nothing but support from them. A reason they’ve 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 it’s unnatural. They are Vic’s parents after all and after a war where they lost family and friends who gave their lives so their children could have freedom  – it seems trivial to ever fuss over something like gender. At twenty seven, Vic is more comfortable in herself but still struggles. She keeps it to herself instead of talking about her own dysphoria because it seems trivial compared the war going on around her, compared to so much else.

HEADCANON THREE:

About: ( SELF HARM MENTION, VIOLENCE MENTION, MISOGYNY MENTION )

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 doesn’t have a language to explain it in — only violent actions ). N o t that she’d let you know.  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 — 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, she’s the true embodiment of what it means to be a storm with skin. Enigmatic even.

Victoire is quite sure of who she is, what she wants in life & what she will get, she’s quite sure of everything that she is —-

                …but in those moments she blacks out in pure rage — she’s not so sure.

She’s h o r r i f i e d. In those moments where she looks for pain like she’s a drug addict and it’s her next fix, she mortified. She can’t remember how it quite started – a punch to the wall there after a fight, a purpose slap in the face, anything that released the rage she had. Victoire didn’t dare release it on the people she loved because she’d 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. It’s something she’s so ashamed of, that she hasn’t let on to anyone. A reason Victoire craves fights and sometimes throws them is because of this masochistic need to hurt herself – just letting people beat her to unconsciousness. Her anger is so great, so c o n s u m i n g, there’s the small hope if she finds a way to release it somehow – it’ll go away.

              “I will always scare; and more than anyone else — myself.”

It was in House of Serpents that she learned there is grey. There is moral grey, and it’s where she lives. With a heart so big, so W I D E, that even she doesn’t realize it’s part of the reason her anger can consume her. Feeling things for Victoire Weasley is never half arsed, it’s 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, she’ll s m i l e. She’ll laugh, she’ll charm you most likely and she’ll 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, HAIM, and Aerosmith should be listened to at least once a day and how if she wanted anyone’s singing voice besides Freddie’s, it would be Hayley Williams, no doubt. She’d 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 they’re ones dedicated to each and every one of her family members. For her best friends. For past people she loved. With child like w o n d e r m e n t and pure genuine glee, she’ll talk about her dragon, Mercury, and how her and Hagrid planned to try to start a campaign to get real dragons at Hogwarts — or at least they had. Never has she doubted being a Dragonologist and never has she had so much peace.

THOUGHTS ON THE TIMECLASH: Victoire thinks it’s amazing, sure she’s worried about the world as a whole, but she thinks this timeclash is kind of lit! It’s like a big party to her in a way, she’s never been more excited to learn about history than through the actual people she actually read about in the history books. If anything, she’s trying to learn from the new people around her, often sparking up random conversations with absolutely anyone she can to try to understand where they all come from.

BIOGRAPHY

victoire apolline weasley - though you may know her as a number of monikers: blonde weasley, curse-breaking milf, mom friend™, whatever. she’s the eldest weasley cousin, part-veela, a mother, and yes she is a natural blonde. these are often the defining characteristics she is known by, but there’s a lot more than meets the eye.

born on may 2nd, 1997, almost two years after the fateful tri-wizard tournament where voldemort was defeated “once and for all”, she is the first child born to bill weasley and beauxbatons champion fleur delacour. the first of her generation; hers was a charmed childhood, only made more exciting by the arrival of two siblings and many cousins. seeing as she was older than most of them by a handful of years, victoire became somewhat of a “babysitter” for the family. she spent most of her formative years running after younger weasley-potters, patching up scrapes and kissing bruises as well as diffusing tense situations. from an early age she just naturally took on the role of “mom” among her social groups, the nurturing tendencies carry on even to her hogwarts years where her friends often teased her for being so overprotective of them and “babying” them.

at hogwarts she was sorted into hufflepuff - the first of her family to not be a gryffindor much to the changrin of several of her family members. while the hat had debated between the two houses, it was ultimately the pragmatic and sensible nature of the girl that lead her to being placed among the badgers. this turned out to be best suited to her traits. victoire’s easy going youth lead to her being soft and gentle but also incredibly empathetic and warm. aside from being the aforementioned “mom friend”, she was basically the poster child for hufflepuff - being dutiful, hard-working, trustworthy, loyal and fair. the one “weasley trait” that followed her was a deep love for quidditch, being a beater for the house team for a few years. but her true loves had been herbology, history of magic and charms; the girl spending most of her days studying old textbooks, hanging around the greenhouse, or learning new charms to advance her abilities.

due to a studious nature, she was usually in the favor of her professors and hadn’t found herself in detention like many of her family members might have. it was for this reason she was chosen as a prefect during her latter years, and head girl her seventh. she was responsible and organized in comparison to most of her peers, and actually took pride in being a role model. a side effect of being the oldest in her family - there were always eyes on her and victoire wanted to live up to their expectations.

following school, it was of little surprise when she announced she would be a curse-breaker in training under her father’s tutelage. she possessed much of her father’s qualities - she was an academic achiever as well as laid back in nature, while still managing to be serious when necessary. as a child she was a daddy’s girl and had a very keen interest in bill’s occupation. she used to pretend she was a curse-breaker, "disabling” curses and jinxes on teddy bears and various odd objects throughout the house. so when it came time to take her NEWT level classes, she made sure to structure her schedule around what classes would help her become a successful curse-breaker. it was a thrilling and adventure-filled career path, but her time with gringott’s would only last a few years before she opted to be an “independently contracted curse-breaker” - a choice made in order to continue the work she loved while being a single parent with full custody of her child.

before she began her apprenticeship, victoire spent the summer holiday after her seventh year in france with relatives. despite her claims she would come back “still very much the same victoire” the girl had returned from holiday a very different woman - a married one, actually. hardly one to make rash decisions, it was a shock to hear that after just four weeks of courtship victoire had married a beauxbatons alum she’d met while touring the french riviera. much of the family was opposed to the union, but victoire swore that she was happy and it was meant to be - and for a while that was true.

it turned into a tumultuous affair and would last all of four years before the ill-suited pair would inevitably call it quits - an embarrassing fact considering how adamant she had been that their love was “real” and that it would “work out just fine”. it turned out over time that the two were not exactly suitable and wanted very different things. for one, he wanted to live in france while victoire wanted to stay near her family in england. the only complication left after the marriage was a child that neither had originally planned for - a little girl named amélie whom victoire has full custody of. now her trips to france - via portkey every other weekend - are begrudgingly made in order to allow their daughter time to stay with her father, with whom she has remained (or has tried to remain) amicable and civil despite how poorly the relationship ended.

these days victoire is hardly around. contracted with many independent buyers and sellers of magical antiques and the like, the woman travels across the wizarding world in order to acquire such objects and to reverse whatever hexes have been placed on them as security measures. it’s become harder to balance this job with raising a child, and as such has made her home base in the UK in order to receive the support from her family. she was away on such trips when things began to escalate back home and has since taken on less jobs and has been spending more time in london and close to her relatives during what feels like the return of dark times.

joining the reinstated order of phoenix, victoire is at war with the impending fight. the young woman isn’t too eager to be part of another wizarding war. a little bit of a pacifist, victoire just wants to see a happy future again. having a young child, and seeing the aftereffects of her uncle’s death on his family, makes her worried to put herself in a position where she will no longer be able to take care of amelie. but she also knows that it is up to the order to put an end to the death eaters once and for all - choosing to ultimate put herself in harms way in order to make sure her daughter gets to grow in a safe and happy world like she herself did.

tbh i’ll probably be editing this as i go along.

THE SCHOOL FRIENDS (2) - a couple fellow hogwarts alums who would have attended at the same time as victoire, they have remained close friends since leaving school and regularly meet up for drinks and to catch up and reminisce. they are hufflepuffs and have their own trio kind of like harry/ron/hermione. bonus points if one is a death eater, 1/2 taken

THE RIVAL - a fellow curse-breaker or someone from victoire’s youth who she has never seen eye to eye with. perhaps its because of opposing ideals, a dislike for the weasley-potter family or whatever petty reason - these two just don’t get along and are constantly butting heads. bonus points for being rivals in the curse-breaking field, open

THE EX - self explanatory; victoire’s ex-husband and the father of her daughter. this is not meant to be a romantic connection. they weren’t very well suited for each other and instead insist upon being civil and amiable for the sake of their daughter. is french/a beauxbatons alumni and would be newly arrived in britain should you take up this role, npc

tbh i’m really bad at these; just hmu and we can brainstorm afheahpfieaihfeiafpieafea

OC Meme Info  ⭐ Olivia Sinclair

I was tagged by the wonderful @sunwarden to do an OC info tag! Thank you for the honor, friend. 

I am tagging @daydreamingdragonage, @bitchesofostwick, @dirthara-mama, @trvelyans, and @haloneshiral if ya’ll want to partake and have not already!

BASICS

Full name: Olivia Berenice Sinclair

Gender: Woman

Sexuality: Bisexual/Queer

Family: She was the only child to a minor noble couple in Orlais, Apolline Sinclair (’nee Charpentier) and her father, Ruben. 

Pronouns: She/Her

OTHER

Birthplace: Val Royeaux, 9:15 Dragon. 

Job(s): Nothing really besides being the carrier of her family’s sociopolitical ambitions (jinkies). Then, Mage apprentice at Ostwick, and now Inquisitor. 

Phobias: She hates snakes but does not run from them. She is frightened of wyverns as well (something about the teeth).

Guilty pleasures: Can one say emotional evasion and laughing like everything is fine? No? Okay well. Bore benign guilty pleasures would be chocolate, a good plate of cooked meat (whatever it is), and frilly lingerie.

Hobbies: Olivia loves to read and learn, so she spends her free time either studying or practicing her theories somehow, some way. She also loves to horseback ride and is an excellent rider.           

MORALS

Morality alignment: Chaotic Good

Bad qualities: She is, as I said above, emotionally evasive -- it’s hard to determine at times whether she is genuinely happy. She is also impulsive, stubborn, and prone to losing her temper when she feels belittled or demeaned. She’s hard to hold and harder to pin down. 

Good qualities: Extremely loyal and patient despite her feisty nature. Her friendships are pivotal and she will follow someone she loves to the ends of the Earth. She loves possibilities and creativity in the face of adversity. She never gives up.

THIS OR THAT?

introvert / extrovert

organized / disorganized

close-minded / open-minded

calm / anxious / restless

disagreeable / agreeable / in between

cautious / reckless / in between

patient / impatient

outspoken / reserved

leader / follower / flexible

empathetic / unempathetic

optimistic / pessimistic / realistic (a mix of both)

traditional / modern / in between

hard-working / lazy / unmotivated

RELATIONSHIPS:

OTP: Olivia x Cassandra (woot woot!)

Acceptable ships: I would be amiable to a Olivia x Blackwall romance but I would have to see their bond rewrote from how it is now, because it is very much a uncle/niece dynamic. Other than that, it’s hard to say any other romance would as fluid of a development as the friendships are (her and Sera for example are amazing as friends, but they have an unspoken understanding from the get-go that they are their best selves as friends).

OT3: None!

BroTP: Besides her circle of friends (Theia, Naomi, etc.) she is extremely close with Sera and Vivienne, close secondarily being Dorian and Varric. 

NOTP: Her and Cullen is just a non-starter. Look, I gotta pull hairs to forge their way to friendship, alright? Love is not in the cards.
