About Me

Cleo Delano
That Girl
You want to know about me? Donâ€™t expect a fairy tale. As far as Iâ€™m concerned my life is only just beginning. Iâ€™m not going to be a grinning school girl â€“ eager to please all. The girl who hides all, behind a single smile. That doesnâ€™t mean what you see is what you get though. I have secrets. Who doesnâ€™t? But mine. Well they could make your skin crawl. Its possible youâ€™ve heard of me. That Rich Bitch â€“ yeah her! The one with the long nameâ€¦ I am more then a title. Call me any name under the sun. Guess what? I donâ€™t care! What you think, it wonâ€™t change my life! It wonâ€™t make me stronger, or bring me down. Only I can do that. Open the book if you please. Delve into the life of Cleo Delano.
The Beginning
So lets start our story in Miami, my parents, Scarlett Marie and Sebastian Delano had moved with their daughter, Carlita, to Miami to kick start my fathers new career. It started of with one hotel, and then another and another. And then my parents finally got married, thus I was born, one year later. I was born into a rich family, my fathers chains of hotels were going worldwide and my mothers wedding gowns were wanted by brides everywhere. You couldnâ€™t have wished for a better situation to be born into. My family could provide anything I desired for and more.
I grew up with a lot of people around me, treated like a princess. Life was a real blur, butlers, cooks and maids would rush around preparing the hotel, making sure everything was perfect, of course at the tender age of 6, I wasnâ€™t aware of anything. My mother was determined; Carlie and I would never be children who were cared for by other women, she wanted to be a full time mother. My Father wasnâ€™t on the same wavelength it appeared, as he was captivated by running his hotels, flying across the world to each one, to check up. He didnâ€™t seem to realize he had two young daughters who just wanted their Daddy
My father was brought back down to earth with a bump, when my mother revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. He was broken, I was only five at the time, but it was clear even to me, that something was up. Everyone acted differently around my mother, they seemed to tiptoe around her and this made her sad. Being as she was, Scarlett would not let the illness beat her, she would ignore this petty illness and live her life. Dad became distance from everyone. He couldnâ€™t seem to digest it all and blamed himself. What broke him most was the fact he couldnâ€™t cure her. Before my sixth birthday, he seemed to wake up. He put his family first and his work second. We would have countless family occasions where we would go out together and have an amazing time.
However, on the 10th of March, Mother fell ill. She was ordered to her bed immediately and each day she grew worse. My father, sister and I stayed with her, making sure someone was always holding her hand. We werenâ€™t enough to keep her alive. Because on the 14th of March my mother died. Our hearts broke. All we wanted to do was lock ourselves in a room and never come out. But we were forced to get on with our lives. Father had the hotel, Carlie had school. And I. Well I had to cope on my own. That was until I turned 11.
Discovering the Secret
My mother had been a witch; my father had been a wizard. My Father used his powers rarely, but my Mother used hers a lot. I knew I was a witch, who wouldnâ€™t? I woke up on my 11th birthday, to my father and Carlie, sitting on my bed in my suite. I had presents piling up at the end of my bed and a stack of cards on my bedside table. But what appealed to me most was on my breakfast tray was a letter. Could it be? At once I grew excited. I knew all about most the magical boarding schools in our region. My father had threatened to send me to Beauxbatons to tame me he had said. But I was soon smiling as I read aloud to my family.
Dear Students,We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.Term begins on 1 September (or when you happen to register). We await your owl after registration.
I began to jump up and down on my bed, my father grabbing my tray before he fell on the floor. I felt like soaring. I was eager to learn magic and couldnâ€™t wait. I had already read Hogwarts: a History and that had excited me further more. But the days were slow and I could hold on no longer, until it finally reached September the 1st
School
â€Cleo! Its you!â€ I remember my best friend of 10 years, Pansy Parkinson nudging me gently as my name was called. With shaking legs, I climbed the platform, sitting down, I took a deep breath. The sorting hat was placed upon my head. I felt it wriggle about and finally adjust itself. â€Aaah. Cleopatra Delano. Father and Sister in Gryffindor. Mother in Ravenclaw. So where shall we place you eh?â€. The hat was silent for a moment. Oh god I thought to myself what if Iâ€™m in Hufflepuff!?. I closed my eyes. The hat gave a final wriggle. â€Weâ€™ll place you inâ€¦. the mouth of the hat widened â€SLYTHERIN!â€. My mind boggled. Slytherin? Wasnâ€™t that bad!? I stood up wearily and made my way to the Slytherin. I was welcomed with opened arms and as I got to know the people in Slytherin House, I grew to love the house.
Everyone was wary of the fact my older sister was in Gryffindor. But we didnâ€™t care; we stopped and talked to each other, spent time together. Houses were Houses, Blood was Blood. I began to settle into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadary, it felt like home then the hotel ever had.
Now
I donâ€™t know where I am, right now in my life. I have an amazing best friend, a brilliant sister and a gorgeous boyfriend. Pansy, Carlie and Joey are continuously with me through thick and thin. Every day I grow stronger, learning more and achieving things I never believed I could imagine. But I still donâ€™t feel complete. Some people love me; some people think Iâ€™m a total bitch. And I canâ€™t lie. I am, Iâ€™m an heiress to a chain of hotel, worth a lot of money, and have truly wonderful friends and a boyfriend. What more could a girl want? Well I want more. I just donâ€™t know what.

My Interests

Quidditch

Quidditch. I really love it. The air rushing through your hair as you whiz about in the air, its amazing, gives me a real buzz, they're is no joy like it. I play for the school team in the position of Seeker.Music
Music makes me smile. I love to dance along whenever I hear any of my favourite tunes - wherever I am! My all time favourite band is the Weird Sisters as all they're songs are truly amazing. Hogwarts
I have always felt like I never belonged anywhere. I had no real Home - somewhere where people loved you for you and didn't want you to be anything but that - I never had that. Until I went to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadary that is. I instantly felt fufilled and accepted. I will be sad when I have to leave.Heiress
I am a heiress to my Fathers hotel 'The Delano' when he either retires or dies I shall have the duty of continuing the chain of hotels he runs. From all his buissnes - my father earns a lot of money and I'm not ashamed to admit...I love to spend it!

Slytherin House

Ambitious. Cunning. Powerful. Evil...? Just kidding about that last part. You've been sorted into the terribly misunderstood House of Slytherin! Good job. You're ambitious, cunning, and sometimes have a thirst for power.

Of course, Slytherin has had the most dark wizards and witches of all the other houses, leading people to believe it's evil. That isn't so. What one chooses to use their ambition for is entirely up to the individual. Many of the ambitious witches and wizards have used their ambition and cunning to further their own gain, and become powerful. The quick way to power is to join up with Voldemort, as many Slytherins had.

Enough about that. Your destiny lies with you, and the power to resist the dark side is certainly yours. The question is, will you?

Or perhaps in Slytherin, You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends.

One Late Letter ♥

On the 14th of March My Mother lost her battle to Cancer. A few days latter we found this letter - among her things.

Dear Darlings...
I really have no idea why I am writing this! Hopefully - and I pray with all my heart my dears - that you never have to read this. But I feel I must. Just in case. Firstly, look after your father for me - if I do go. He is a complicated Man - but one with a great heart. My gentle giant...Secondly You will always have each other. No matter what. I hope with silly squabbles aside you girls will be there for each other no matter what You are each others weaknesses but you are also one anothers strenghts too. Carlita - my gorgeous little buissness women, so like your father. You understand him well, you are the oldest of my children, look after Cleo you know what she is like! Cleopatra - my beautiful baby and you will always be that! My baby (no matter how many times you yell at me for it!) you are a delicate thing but you have great suvival power. Find it. Just remember - I love you with all my breath. Whatever this cancer comes to, you'll be forever in my hearts. I love you, Always and Forever.
Love Your Mother x

Cleo's Diary ♥

I'm not the greatest fan of writing in lessons. But I scribble away my thoughts and feelings in my journal. I write odd quotes and snippets of things I've heard around, personal stuff. Check back for updates

Dear Diary...
17th January Its not fair! Its the day after my birhtday and I'm ill! I was banished to my bed by Madame Pomfry, I have a slight cold and migrain - but thats it! So I'm sitting here in the empty dorm, working out what to do with all my money I got. I've always had enough to get what I want but now I think I have too much. I wish I could pop outside but every time I sit up, I'm in blinding pain from my head. I'm sure some fresh air would do me good...Ooh shoot, I better go, I can hear footsteps and it sounds like Madame Pomfry, coming to check up on me...16th January Eeek! Its my birthday today! Everyones being so lovely to me today, Melanie, Calista, espically Pansy. I can't help smiling today! I got lots of gorgeous presents from all my family and friends. And I am one year older! Hoorrraay! Unfortunatly, no word from Joey for a while. He's really busy at the moment though - I understand, he has a lot of exams to take, you know to catch up with us all? But hopefully we'll get together soon! Pansys going out with George! Yeah, one the weasley twins! Suprising, but they actually make a very sweet couple. So today is going very well for me, which is suprising as normally I have a hitch on one of my birthdays - but today - none! Which is great! So I have to get ready, me, Pansy and a few friends are going out to dinner at one of my favourite resraunts to celebrate my birthday! Later!4th January You know, First years are really annoying! They are working on my nearves. Little toads! Whisper, Whisper, Whisper they go behind the backs of others. You know they're saying stuff about you. You just get this feeling. Espically this one gobby little moo, Chanel...eugh. Just her name makes my skin crawl. She's like the gang leader, a thin little eyes bore into mine, little smirks and then gossiping as I turn away... Anyway on a good note, I am absoloutly happy with Joey. He'd do anything for me! When we were together before we parted to go to schools, he said he's going to leave America! And come to Hogwarts with me! Its all arranged. He despratly wants to leave his mother and we've both agreed that'd it'd be far too hard to have a long distance realionship. I cannot belive it. I really cannot. A guy would do that for me. Cleo Delano. Leave their friends and family for me. He'll go back in the holidays of course to visit them, but he's going to be with me. I feel kinda of special right now! =]1st January [again] I bet you are thinking why has she wrote again today? well, remember that when I last wrote, it was early morning. Well now, its late at night. Only a short entry today as I have to sleep! Lessons start back on Wednesday! Anyway, today, I started going out with Joseph Block. I really can't believe it! My life has already began to change and it is only the first day of 2007! How weird is that? I am looking foward to see what else will happen in my life over the next few weeks! Feel quite excited now! As I said, short journal! Night!1st January 2007 Yep. You read the date correct. Its the first day of a whole new year! 2007! Feels ever so refreshing I can tell you. A new book, a new chance, a chance to make a difference. Change things about my life. Ok so thats pretty stupid really. I could do that any day, but on the day of a new year, it kinda feels special...you know?I've met some new friends this week, I hope I'll stay friends with them for life or for at least a long time. And I met up with Calista, who I hadn't chatted to for ages! That was great, it really was. From what she tells me theres possibly romance in the air for Mr Potter...The more I think about it, the more I think what a cute couple they make! Well, its late, 1:00 in the morning in fact. I only wanted to do a quick entry. Just think! One hour ago it was 2006! In places like America it still is! Weird huh!? I'm a future girl! Well, all I can say is: Roll on 2007! Happy New Years!Thursday 28th December I miss Christmas! Its annoying as every year I find that it takes so long to get to the actual day of christmas and the actual day itself speeds by! But I had a fun day, I got a lot of gifts and I won't bother to list them as I would be here forever! Hogwarts was decorated beautifully as usual, I really love coming down on the 1st of December and seeing house elfs scurrying around putting up decorations. Christmas has to be one of my favourite holidays. And now it is over!Myself and Pansy went shopping today for our dresses for the annual Hogwarts ball. We went into our favourite french shop and it made us laugh when we saw the mounds of students outside it - their noses pressed up in hope of seeing the delights in doors. Of course we went right on in to look for our gowns. I even saw one of my mothers designs which made me happy, its great to see they are still going though she is gone. Pansy and I have decided to make our own dresses for the ball. We are both really excited now and we have to make sure we look stunning for it! After all we have a reputation to uphold!
Love Cleo

A Little Thing Called Love ♥

One Lost Soul

Okâ€¦so hereâ€™s the thing. Iâ€™ve never truly been in Love. Never. Iâ€™ve had boyfriends of course â€“ tons in fact! But Iâ€™ve never had the feelings of butterflies in the stomach for any of them. The feeling thatâ€™s like no other. To want to hold onto somebody forever and never let go. To love them so much it hurts and your heart beats a hundred times faster when they say your name. He has to be able to make me smile every day. Keep me on my toes, wanting to climb higher, achieve more, look forward to each day, miss him every moment of the day. Nope. Never had it. But Iâ€™m not in hurry to find it â€“ I want to make sure heâ€™s the one.

I'd like to meet:

Write me a Story, Sing me a Song. Delve deep in your heart and tell me whats wrong♥

The Story of Cleo Delano & Pansy Parkinson
One Satauday Morning, my mother was at her work, as she leaned over her pregnant bump to pull down the hem line of one of her clients wedding dresses, she massaged her bump and stood up smiling, looking at her client, Emily. Emily also had a matching bump and was getting ready for her wedding, trying on the last fitting of her dress. Both women were emotion, they would soon both be experiencing a joy to the world. From that moment, they became great friends. And little did they know that from the moment they're babies set eyes on each other. Cleopatra Darcy Delano and Pansy Lewanna Parkinson would be the best of friends. I cannot express my feelings, how much I love and cherish Pansy. She's been with me through everything. We share everything and have been together in detentions, heartbreaks, trauma's and happiness. You may think your close to one certain friend of yours, but you will never be as close and united as myself and Pansy. We are the definition, of best friends. The girl behind Pansy Parkinson, ahem CEREN ahem, is truly amazing. I can only wish I met her in RL. Though to be honest - I feel like she's my best friend already. We think so much alike and give each other advise on things like guys,friends, enemys, familys, everything. I feel privalaged to have met someone so brilliant and look forward to everyday when I get to talk to you. Who needs guys when you can have best friends?
