yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of to kill a mockingbird. as such, let’s commemorate it with a scout finch post. i never thought of maycomb as a particularly fashionable town, but i always thought scout was pretty kickass. she reminds me a lot of elizabeth bennet, just somebody who’ll call you on your shit and knows right from wrong etc. anyway, she spent her summers with her brother jem and their friend dill. after a civil trial hits town, their lives get really interesting. scout’s father atticus defends an innocent man charged with raping a woman in town. despite evidence to exonerate the accused, he is found guilty and shot as he tries to escape prison. the girl’s family is humiliated and her father vows revenge against atticus. eventually, he attacks scout and her brother jem as they come home from a halloween pageant. luckily, their elusive neighbor boo radley (the subject of many scout, jem and dill’s summer adventures) comes to their aid. there’s a lot more to it but you should find the rest out on your own. it’s one of the greatest books ever.

despite their evil and greedy intentions, i have a soft spot for the malfoy family…especially for narcissa. she herself was never a full-on death eater but just seem to get caught up in the mix. above all, she was devoted to protecting draco. it wasn’t until voldemort started using draco in his schemes that she began to show her true colors. she was horrified at voldemort’s request that draco kill dumbledore, as such, she made snape swear the unbreakable vow to protect him. her most noble act was sparing the life of harry potter at the battle of hogwarts by lying to lord voldemort. she told him that potter was dead after harry reveals to her that draco is alive and in the castle. this act saves the malfoys from a life in azkaban. way to go narcissa, show voldy who’s boss.

since you guys seemed to enjoy bellatrix, let’s have a go at another favorite character-fleur delacour. we first meet fleur when she’s competing in the tri-wizard tournament at hogwarts as the beauxbatons champion. she was supposedly one of the most beautiful girls, like ever. being part veela, she attracted pretty much every guy at hogwarts especially ron. at first, fleur was annoyed with harry and ron but after harry saves her sister’s life, she comes around. she sticks around as ron’s sister-in-law after marrying his brother bill and aids in the fight against voldemort. all around, a stand up part veela kick ass witch. good for her. go fleur.
