Vela; meaning vigilant. I've never thought my name describes me. How could I be vigilant? I EMBRACE danger. Pretty much welcome it with open arms. Merlin I'm so unlike my brother. Scorpius is kind and reserved and controlled. I'm nothing like him. Still my best friend, even though I'm the biggest pain in the ass. The "children of Voldemort" rumor is not true, but it's still 100% my fault. I mean, a former death eater has a child who speaks parseltounge and you expected nothing to come from that?? Dad has never blamed me for it though. Says it's his fault for being a death eater in the first place. Mum always told me I'm a duplicate of Draco in her body. I have mom's looks, but dad's personality. I've always been closer to him as well. I miss her quite a lot. This year has been hard without her, but I know we can move on. At school, people fear me. To be honest, I kind of like it. Gives me power. I do somewhat believe in the theory that there is no such thing as "good" and "bad", only power and those too weak to seek it. Just glad I'm not on the last end ;)
