[rs=2] | This is where I have to talk about myself, right? Well, this is awkward. I kind of hate talking about me. Can we talk about something else instead? Like computers? Oh well, okay, fine. Let's get it over with. My name is Louis Charles Weasley, and I am the son of a Cornish pirate king, the terror of the seas, and... well, no, obviously that's not true. You want the boring version? Okay, fine. My name's still Louis Charles Weasley, but I'm actually the youngest (and clearly best) child of Bill and Fleur Weasley. My parents had one of those disgustingly sappy romances where he was bitten by a werewolf and disfigured, but she stuck by him anyway, blah blah blah, and they were married in the middle of the second wizarding war, because obviously that's the best time possible to have a big fancy wedding. Anyway, my oldest sister was born a year after the war ended, and they called her Victoire, because she was born on the anniversary of the victory or some shit like that, and then my other sister was born a few years later, and they called her Dominique, because that can be a boy's name too in French, and when she was born, they weren't quite sure which she was, so they gave her a unisex name. Or something. And then I was born a year or so after Dom, and they called me Louis, because there were lots of French kings named that, and I was clearly the king of babies. I really was born in Cornwall, though actually, my Dad is from Devon and my Mum's French (as you might have guessed from our names), so I speak a fair bit of French, though not as well as Mum'd like me to. She used to speak it to us at home when we were little, so I spoke it properly then, but I've forgotten half of it now. And... what? Oh, well, yes. Yes, she is part Veela, but... Yes, well, technically that means I am too, but this is an awkward topic of conversation, so let's stop now. I obviously don't have much Veela blood, as I can't turn myself into a hideously ugly bird. Neither can my Mum, just for reference. Dom is another matter. Anyway, Cornwall. I reckon that it doesn't matter where my parents are from - I was born in Cornwall, and I've always lived here, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm Cornish. I even sound Cornish, because when I was little, I always used to go and play with the other kids down in the village, and talk to the guys who had boats there. I still do that quite a lot. I love Cornwall. It's where all the pirates and smugglers came from, which automatically makes it awesome. I know all the stories - I can show you all the caves along the coast where they used to hide the stuff... Okay, maybe another time. I've lived in Shell Cottage all my life. It's up on the cliffs above a beach, which is a pretty awesome place to live, when you think about it. Like I say, when I was little, I used to play down in the village a lot, and the rest of the time, I played on the beach with Dom, though playing with Dom's always risky. She bullied me like the bully she is. Our cousins used to come round a lot too, or we'd go to theirs. We have a stupidly big family - I can't even remember all their names. Well, I can, but I can't be bothered to list them. I was the only one to start Hogwarts in my year though. And I never actually told anyone this before, but the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Gryffindor, and I asked it not to, because I didn't want to be in the same house as Dom. I mean, I love Dom, but sharing a common room with her would be exhausting... Anyway, it obviously thought that being scared of your sister wasn't really a very Gryffindor trait, so it put me in Hufflepuff, and we were both happy. To be honest, there's nothing interesting to say about my first few years there. I made loads of friends, and everyone in my house was awesome, though I also ended up being friends with two Slytherins, Damien and Devyn, by a kind of random set of events, and they're just about as different from me as they can be, but they're still some of my best mates, and I'll talk about one of them a bit more in a bit, if I really have to. When I was really little, I used to be shy, but I got over that pretty quickly. I'm a pretty friendly kind of guy, I guess, so I get on with most people - my other best friends are the other boys in my dorm, Aidan and Chris. I just had a lot of fun those first few years really - I played pranks, I got loads of detentions, I didn't do my homework, I found the kitchens and sneaked out there at night... all the usual stuff. I don't really know how to describe my personality. I like jokes and not taking things seriously, though I can take them seriously if I need to. I hate upsetting people - I mean, generally I go out of my way not to upset them, honestly. I'm always the first person to apologise, and I can't hold grudges at all - I always give people more chances, even if I probably shouldn't. Hufflepuffs are supposed to be hard working, but I'm not, except at things I really love, like Muggle Studies and Arithmancy. Grandad's the only one who gets the whole Muggle thing - I just love their technology! I'm a bit better at using it than Grandad though. I do pretty well in those subjects, so I suppose I'm not stupid, but I don't bother with the others, so I never get the greatest grades. I was never really into the whole flirting, dating thing some of the others got into - I mean, a bit of jokey flirting was fine, but I suppose I just preferred to be friends with people, and if we were only friends then at least I knew they liked me because of me, not because of the stupid fucking Veela genes. Maybe if I'd taken more notice earlier, I'd have realised before that I was into guys as well as girls, but I didn't. Yep, that's right, I'm bisexual, and it's kind of a new thing, so I'm just getting used to it, and I don't really know how bi I am yet, I just know that guys can be cute too. I've never had a boyfriend or anything. Well, to be honest, I've only had one girlfriend, and that turned into a massive screw up, because it was Devyn - you know, one of my best friends? - and I kind of really liked her, but I got jealous because this complete dick was chasing after her, and we fought, and she ditched me, and now we're only just managing to be friends. If we're friends at all. I told her I was bisexual, and I think it really upset her. Anyway, I really don't want to talk about Devyn, or about me any more, so how about I talk about computers now? |
