S H A D O W

Another Dominque-centric freeverse. I'm getting rather attached to her now. Poor Dom – she always gets left in the dust, doesn't she? In my head, though, Victoire doesn't necessarily realise that she's pushing Dominique back. It sort of just… happens. Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually dislike Victoire, or think she's a stuck-up bitch, unlike most people here. I think the Veela in her is what most people end up seeing, and therefore, poor Victoire doesn't have much of a reputation.

Anyway, rant over! Review, please?
