"What? Don't fucking look at me I'm common trash. I, at least, have my shit together. I can be responsible and proper like good pureblood families require if I want, but how much fun is that? I'd rather spend my nights freely, making the most anyone can of the chaos upturning the world right now. And honestly, who the fuck cares so much about blood purity to start a war over it? That’s what this war is about right? I’ve never been interested in politics. Really, just shut up and keep your head down. That’s all you can really do in this war without throwing yourself into the line of fire, and I’m looking to like a hell of a long time, thank you. Don’t expect me to come saving your ass either when hell breaks loose. You can bet your galleons I’ll be saving myself first. “Oh, now what? You think I’m heartless? Selfish? You don’t know me as well as you think then. When it comes to survival, yes, I’ll put myself first. But really, I do love children. Shocking I know, to discover I am in fact a woman with some sort of heart. If ever I were to put someone before myself, it would be a child of my own. Calm down though, I’m not some whore. I won’t be having children any time soon. My nightly fun involves company, not sex. I simply know how to have a good time while retaining some sense of dignity. Could you imagine my oh-so-proud pureblood family harboring a common street rat? Really, have more faith. Speaking of which, I’m not as quick to break as my family is. The Burkes have a reputation of short tempers, but it looks like I got the longest wick. I can handle myself, at least; I understand consequences. “Mum raised me up a lady, so I give her a pretty face to look at when she comes to visit. I guess you could call me two-faced, but I really don’t see it that way. I always keep my beliefs known and never try to openly deceive. I would be the one to ask for an honest answer – and trust me, if you don’t want it blunt, don’t ask. I am loyal foremost to myself, then my family. This is the way mum raised me, actually, with the intentions of making me unwavering in my loyalties. It worked, I suppose. It’s not like I’ll ever fucking betray myself. Being essentially free-living makes me a fun fixture, but of course it is hard to settle down and be serious with anyone. My Hogwarts days were spent doing the basics required by my classes, and spending the rest of the time among friends. I had a best friend throughout the years there, but she went off to be an auror. Eventually got herself killed trying to be a fucking hero. She had always been good with dueling, but ironically I was better than her. Actually, defense against the dark arts and charms had always been my best classes. Im-a-gine dad’s face when I excelled at bloody charms more than the dark arts he taught me at home. Yeah, wasn’t pretty. “Seriously though, Hogwarts was also great for getting away from mum and dad. It was there I took on a more apathetic aspect, caring mostly for myself only. Maybe this is who I was always meant to be, not the little princess mum wanted. As the eldest child though, leaving Hogwarts meant learning the family business. I could have seriously gone my entire life without having to step foot in our scary ass store. How dad does that shit is beyond me, but I somehow continue to play the lady they want. I assist dad most days, learning how and where to acquire most of our items. When you really stand back and study the items, they’re pretty fucking cool. Still wouldn’t want to mess with them, but oh well. It’s not like I really knew what I wanted to do with my life anyway. This is as good an option as I could think of, I guess. What good were fucking charms going to be anyway? What would I even do with that—work at the Ministry? With all this shit going on? No thank you.” |
