The drunken glossy look of her eyes hidden behind the black framed sunglasses that were out of place for the Great Hall. However, it served its purpose of hiding the vodka tonics, shots of whiskey, and what else she had decided to plaster herself with before attending this event.<br/><br/>In truth, Ria hadn't turned to alcohol to escape her problems up until recently. Things were not going as she expected. Part of her thought that convincing everyone around her to attend the Tri-wizard Tournament to 'support her brother's cause' or 'try to win the tournament herself' was practically hysterical to anyone who knew Ria enough. The ulterior motives being that she wanted to throw down with some sexy Brits. She had seen their parties and how everyone seemed practically 'sozzled' or 'pissed' as they liked to call it. No pretentious talks or worrying about it having some sort of higher meaning in society. No, it looked like good, old fashioned fun. Not to mention the men looked 'fit'.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for her, Ria had discovered that her mind had only grown more curious for Florian as time progressed. She had a hazy reflection of a night that she approached him with her intent and interest, but she didn't have a glimmering satisfying memory to go along with it. In fact, the lack of satisfactory memories ever since she stepped off of the carriage and then into Hogwarts was beginning to unsettle her. She had fought with her brother, drank too much at a party, and continued to make an absolute fool of herself. What more... she just couldn't place where Babs was half the time. Suddenly, she felt more alone and more determined to get up to trouble more than ever. The added stress of her dissatisfaction of Hogwarts creating a new version of Ria.<br/><br/>The first step? Get a little tipsy and then a lot tipsier than she anticipated. Forgetting the traditional Beauxbaton's button-up top and replacing it with a tight, strapless bra that tightly shaped her soft breasts. Her peachy skin in full form as she threw her powder blue jacket over her body. A matching powder blue skirt kicking up on the back of her toned thighs as she confidently swayed her way up to the front of the school. Her white socks tucked into her heavy boots. The least she did was soften her wild hair into sleek, brown waves of chocolate that rolled down the side of her pale face. A smirk on her red painted lips as she swiped a piece of paper and a filled quill on the way up to the platform.<br/><br/>She wrote her name down with swooping vowels due to the looseness in her wrist and a sense of not caring. Even noting to name herself 'Ria Delestrac' rather than 'Victo<em>ria</em>Delestrac.' Lifting it up into the blue flame her insecurities hit the forefront of her mind again. Her brother said that she couldn't do it. Saying that he would question the results if he name was picked. It made a glimmer of hate roll around in her stomach. She thought of her wand and it's temperamental attitude that rivaled her own. Then lastly, she thought about the future and what it lacked. It was her last year of school and she had nothing to show for it. Barely passed her classes, only held friends with better likelihoods of growing into something more than her, and a barren, terrifying future ahead of her. Even if she hated it, school was the only structure that she had. Ria didn't even realize how losing the structure of Beauxbaton's was currently sabotage her, as well.<br/><br/>These fears caused Ria to drop the piece of paper into the blue flame and she felt a surge of relief. The haze of the alcohol setting in again as she blinked a few times behind her glasses. All it took was one breath and roll of her shoulders, and she felt like her old troublesome self again. She even spun around on the heel of her boots and lowered her glasses. Finding Valentin in the crowd and giving him a nasty stare. Her red lips curved into a sarcastic and mocking smile. Eventually skipping her way down the stairs with the same sway in her loose movements, and plunged down on an empty seat at the Beauxbaton's table.<br/><br/><div align="center">~*~*~</div><br/>In truth, time had escaped her. She had slipped a small flask of 'Dragon Barrel Brandy' and was sipping on it throughout the night. Plunging into conversations of those sitting around her with a challenging look on her face. In truth, she was just having a bit of fun attempting to make new friends with people she purposely avoided for quite sometime now. It only took a bit of a rebellious action and a lot of alcohol to get Ria into a good mood again. In fact, she was one who continued talking while the Minster of Magic was beginning to call out the names.<br/><br/>Passing over the first name she was still looking around the room piecing together what was actually happening. Her painted fingernails went to her sunglasses as she pulled them down with a half-lid glare on her face. Following the flocks of sheep she watched as they all looked hopeful toward the ministry of magic. Pursing her lips to the side she was fixated on watching the people around her with their silly hopes. Why would anyone want to be the champion of this tournament. These negative thoughts caused her to loose track of the next person announced. She was looking around to the room and off to the side until she heard the name 'Delestrac' with a V name in front of it.<br/><br/>"What... they picked Valentin?" Ria said in a confused way as eyes turned on to her from the room. Looking around she tensed her brows and then finally came to the realization moments later that they had said 'Victoria Delestrac.' The name was so unknown to her--she had forced everyone to call her Ria for years and years. A blush came over her face and she muttered a, "My bad,' to the people who were so hopeful to be the champion and see it go to someone like her.<br/><br/>"Umm... hi?" Victoria said with an unamused look on her face as everyone was surrounding her. Motioning her hands toward the Minister Granger-Weasley trying to get everyone from paying attention to her. Still not coming to realization yet  of what had actually happened. A sigh escaped her lips when they called Nadia's name and then Dior's next. Everything else went by so fast. All Ria could hear was the pounding sound of her heart rushing blood to her head. The sensation of fear, anxiety, and a sort of triumphant purpose of worth. A purpose of having something to make her mark and make this year go by not faster, but fuller.<br/><br/>Change was sitting on Ria's doorstep and she slipped her want in her hands. Rolling it between her fingers almost compulsively as she realized she had no idea what would come next. She expected to be an audience member and not an actual champion. Her eyes looked around in a dumbfounded away. She lowered the sunglasses to the table along with her flask. Her hands resting on the table as she closed her lips. Then, for the first time in a long while, Ria was silent with nothing in particular to say.<br/><br/>
