“   I for one don’t need any more reasons to stop in.   ”   He’d know that voice anywhere   -   and it never fails to bring a smile to his face.   Laurent turns,   in his own hand a bag of sweets that he’d claim were for Bea’s children,   though truth be told they were just as much for him.   “   And you,   little one,   will rot your teeth.   ”   His tone changes as he lowers himself to Evangeline’s level.   A whisper on his lips to match the mischief in her eyes as he taps the small girl gently on the nose,   “   as many sweets as you’d like from uncle Laurie today,   go on now and choose,   petite fluer.   But not too far.   ”   Rising again to turn his attentions towards his friend,   he leans in,   pressing a kiss to her cheek in greeting.   “   The uniforms might suit you.   ”

She heard his voice before she saw him, breath catching in her throat when she turned toward the voice. Laurie. The grin on her lips was instant. “Sure you do,” she countered, taking a step toward him. “You don’t come see me enough,” she teased, eyebrows raising slightly before she tore her eyes away to look at her daughter. Their daughter. She scrunched up her nose and nodded. “He’s right, you know. Too much candy can do that... if you don’t brush and floss twice a day.” Laurent knelt down next to Evangeline and Olivia’s heart skipped a beat but she ignored it. Uncle Laurie. Yikes. She smashed her lips to the side at that, but smiled brightly as he kissed her cheek. “Yeah? Maybe I should do it then... for the uniform.”

In Character

I spotted OLIVIA ZAHRA ROSIER in Diagon Alley early today. Have you heard the rumors? Supposedly the PUREBLOOD is affiliated with NO ONE. Born on FEBRUARY / 14 / 1954, they are TWENTY SIX and identify as CIS FEMALE (SHE/HER) and HETEROSEXUAL. They work as a MEDIWIZARD; it makes sense, given they are INFLEXIBLE & MISGUIDED but also CHARISMATIC & DISCIPLINED. When I think of them, I think of wildflowers tucked between whisps of long hair, shelves lined with unread books, wax sealed letters stamped with a rose.

Faceclaim: Kristine Froseth

Are you filling a wanted connection?: no but also yes, she’s Evan’s sister!

Biography

Though she was second born, Livvy was never made to feel inferior to her brother. The Rosiers had so much trouble conceiving the first time, they weren’t even trying for another, so Olivia came as a pleasant surprise. While Evan was the heir, Livvy was daddy’s little princess and her mother’s pride and joy. She had a happy childhood, but learned over time that everything wasn’t as picture perfect as it seemed. They prided themselves in being one of the purest families in wizarding England - the Rosiers were Sacred and their mother’s family was the French equivalent. Both kids were taught pureblood ideals, and they didn’t know any different. It wasn’t until she got to Hogwarts that Livvy realized that there were witches and wizards that chose not to follow the same belief system. Blood-traitors and mudbloods, Evan called them. Olivia refrained from using such ugly words, but the judgement was already settled into her bones.

Though the Sorting Hat almost put her in Hufflepuff, Olivia politely asked to be sorted into Slytherin instead. She wanted to be sorted into the same house as her father and brother and carry on the Rosier legacy, if only as a way to feel closer to them. Evan’s last year at Hogwarts was the year before Livvy’s first, so she had to navigate the new world all by herself... except she wasn’t really alone, Slytherin housed a lot of the same witches and wizards she grew up with, all in matching shades of emerald and silver. Livvy found herself being just as cold and cruel as the other snakes but she didn’t like it. She chose to focus on her studies instead of bullying, becoming a Prefect, and later Head Girl, and the Rosiers couldn’t have been more proud of their little princess.
