Look here, what Do you see? Are You Looking Forward to Get Tangle Up in Me? FULL NAME Brigitta Yvonne Derrick AGE & BIRTHDAY 17 July 24th 2008 OCCUPATION 7th year Slytherin BLOOD STATUS Pureblood. FACE CLAIM Taylor Marie Hill WAND TYPE Fourteen and a quarter Inch, Unicorn Hair, and Vinewood PATRONUS Swan PETS Northern saw-whet owl Named Marvyn ABILITIES/ SPECIES n/a Tell me who you are, I'm sure you're some kind of superstar. Free Style Childhood, toys, tantrums? Pfft I wasn’t an easy child to get along with, in fact I pretty much kept to myself most of the time. I always had my head stuck in a coloring book or sketchpad. It was hard to get me to play anything that didn’t include me drawing or painting. That didn’t mean however, that my other toys were up for grabs. The hardest thing about being my friend was that I never really learned to share. It’s not from lack of trying, okay it was from lack of trying. I’m sure if I tried to share…I probably could’ve but I didn’t. I did manage to make a few childhood friends, enough that I was completely lost when I started Hogwarts. When I did start Hogwarts, I was more interested in the architecture than anything. I knew that I wanted to build something that beautiful when I was older. Hogwarts had been around for centuries and no matter how many students came and went, they were still captivated by it. That’s the kind of mark I wanted to make on history, the kind that lasted for generations in a positive light. Then I had to start classes and started to wish for the summer like most kids. Beliefs, ramblings, and spoiled brats? Check! I’ve never given much thought to being a pureblood. It’s just always been something that I was, something that I needed to make sure I preserved. I’ve always been taught that our ways of life, the ways that were there first were being attacked. Of course, that’s pretty much how every single wizarding war has started but I don’t pretend that I care about that. My parents never really glorified Voldemort, nor did they feel like they should do anything physical about this whole pureblood culture diminishing thing. I figure that if I upheld the pureblood beliefs and did want was expected of me, I’d be fine. After all being the eldest daughter meant that everyone was looking for me to turn perfectly. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a lot of pressure however I’ve never been obsessed with being perfect. I understand that everyone has flaws and that we should accept them, it’s just blood purity isn’t a flaw and therefore I don’t have to accept that. I don’t know that my parents are right, I don’t know that they’re wrong either. Either way I’m just trying to get by without disappointing anyone. I might be a Slytherin but I’ve pretty much adapted a go with the flow kind of attitude. Plans are good but sometimes things change and you must be prepared for that. Of course, I’m also friendly to most people regardless of their blood status, now just because I’m friendly doesn’t mean that I’m friends with them. I just believe that a lady shouldn’t be rude for no apparent reason. I learned at an early age that everyone can’t be you friend, that doesn’t mean you won’t need them for something eventually. It’s better to keep people thinking positive of you in long run. I strongly believe that if people fear you, eventually they’ll get so used to being scared the effect will wear off eventually. Then again what do I know…oh yeah everything. At least according to me I do, I’m pretty much the type of person that always must have the last word. There’s nothing worse than me when I don’t get my way, not because I throw a tantrum…it’s mostly because I won’t stop until I get it. Sometimes that does make me a bit blind to other things, but it doesn’t happen very often. That might also make me a bit spoiled but I also don’t care. Boys, Contracts, feelings? Let’s forget this The only person I could mention here would be Pascal. It’s not because there might’ve been a slight crush on the moody gentleman. I didn’t find him adorable in all his snobbishness, he’s just always been there for me. Some people tend to seem him in a different light, but to me he’ll always be my best friend. Even with this whole marriage contract, our parents expecting us to spend our life together….as a couple. I guess I always figured he’d be in my life until one of us kicked the bucket but not like that. IF I’m being honest I always seen that as something that wasn’t possible. Me and Pascal have a lot in common, along with a lot of things we disagree with. That’s what the best part was, we could argue about things and still be friends. He was never an immature boy trying to get my attention, not that he had to try…he was the best subject to draw. I guess, I’m just trying to figure out where we go from here. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about this ruining our friendship. There was always a small part of me that wished he would’ve just asked me out before all of this. Of course, that’s the part that had a small crush on him in third year. I got over that, seeing how many girls wanted him made it seem like a game. Of course, that didn’t stop the rumors, which are hilarious to say the least. Hogwarts wasn’t a place you could escape gossip and rumors. Even the most unpopular kid could have a rumor that reached the masses by lunch time. Pascal is always going to be my best friend before he’s anything else and that’s the answer I’m going to stick to. No matter how much things change or what we decide…or well he decides…that won’t change. Last years, goodbyes, adulthood? Now that I’m seventeen and figuring out where my life is going, I’ve realized that I haven’t done much. The concerts, the parties, dragging Pascal places…that was all fun but it wasn’t exactly spectacular. I know that eventually my parents will expect me to be a proper pureblood wife, and adult but I’m not sure I’m ready. I know that when I’m finally done with school I am going to be a Magical Architect. I am also planning on visiting various buildings, drawing them and learning as much as I can about the subject before I settle down. I just hope that I can find a balance between the person I want to be and the person that I’m expected to be. I know that most kids have an identity crisis at my age, but I know who I am. What I don’t know…is what I should do about that. Let's us all just be friend, And together we can start a new trend. |
