Sign: Gemeni. Ever heard the phrase "snake-tongued?" It must have been invented to describe a Slytherin Gemini. Slytherin Geminis have the dubious gift of being able to lay the blarney on thick, and be believed. This is due to both their imaginative mental agility and to their skill with words. Of course, not all Slytherin Geminis are liars - but it is probably advisable to get all sides of the story if you hear interesting gossip from one of these wizards.

Personality Vickie will gladly do whatever she thinks is necessary, including cheating. She hero-worships her older brother Will, who was famous famous for his elaborate pranks while at Hogwarts. But he was a Ravenclaw with a well developed sense of fair play which his sister and imitator did not inherit.
This has made sure that she has long surpassed any reputation her brother had while at school, even though she refuses to see it. She is ambitious, but will only do enough work to reach her goals. She has the potential to be really brilliant, but she settles for good enough to graduate and become a hit-wizard, which is her dream since childhood.
School, and indeed life, is a game to Vickie. This attitude is nothing she reserves for her pranks, and she takes few things quite seriously. She loves her family, is mostly loyal to those she considers her friends, and she takes her schoolwork seriously. Everything else is fair game.
But even though she is a Slytherin, sarcastic, resourceful and sometimes rather liberal with the truth, Vickie is not a bad person. She misbehaves, but her pranks are meant to entertain, not hurt anyone. If she unintentionally does hurt someone, she will find a way to secretly make it up to them.
"When I'm good
I'm very,very good,
but when I'm bad,
I'm better." History Yeah, so Vickie Dillon will look at your boyfriend in the wrong way. She will also put dung bombs in your quidditch locker and charm your shoes to walk in different directions. But apart from that and the odd sarcastic remark thrown your way in the corridors, she is a rather nice girl.
It has to be put into perspective. She was born Victoria Ada Dillon to a Ravenclaw mother and a Slytherin father seventeen years ago. She was their second child and came to be the first and only daughter.
Little Victoria who came to be known as Vickie (unless she had done something naughty) hero worshipped her older brother William and he in his turn loved and protected her with a fierceness mostly found in brothers and bears.
Will and Vickie soon became the scourge of the town, the town itself being Tinworth, the little wizard community in Cornwall. They were the terror of muggles and wizards alike. Dung bombs, prank letters, unexpected bumps in the night. Their antics delighted some and antagonized others, but was the main topic of many afternoon teas every week.
Vickie never confessed to anything, always having perfectly plausible explanations if she was caught in the act. (“What are you doing on Mrs Llewellyn's roof, Victoria Dillon?” “There's a baby owl caught in the chimney, daddy! I saw it!”)
Her brother had a streak of honesty that she did not, and was likely to break under pressure, or tearfully confess as soon as his conscience won him over. (“The fire wasn't lit, mommy, and Vickie was going to climb down and sound like a ghoul, to scare her!”)
Will grew up to be a young Adonis and attend Hogwarts. He became a prefect, a prankster and a top student, having equal luck with the ladies and his studies. His little sister, blind to their differences, wanted to be just like him.
Around the age of nine, it was discovered that Vickie had not only inherited her fathers green eyes, but the same overwhelming migraines that beset him. With a combination of potions and force of will, he had learnt to deal with it. His daughter, though equipped with a similar temperament, lacked his patience, and tried to carry on as if nothing had happened.
It would begin as a trickling of pain over the forehead and around the eyebrows. Slowly, stealthily it would grow in strength, until suddenly it attacked with full force. Sensitivity to light and loud noises, bouts of dizziness and vomiting followed. Quite often her solicitous elder brother would find her slumped outside, under a tree or hidden away in one of the stone barns, where she had been playing. She had ignored the headache until suddenly it had turned into a full scale migraine, sending her to the ground in a small, shuddering heap. He would carry her gently to her bed, admonishing her not to be so stupid, but knowing full well there would be a next time.
When Vickie was to start Hogwarts, her mother simply wrote a letter to the headmistress, explaining the matter. It was agreed that whenever Victoria felt a migraine about to descend, she was permitted to leave class and go directly to the infirmary. She was made to solemnly swear not to misuse this permission - her mother had few illusions about her daughter's character.
In the years since, she has never broken her promise, even though she has used said permission less than she could have; preferring agony in solitude over the pitying stares of her classmates.
Hogwarts treated Vickie kindly, although the opposite might not always be true. Quick-witted, brilliant even if she set her mind to it, lessons did not present much of a problem. Maybe it could be said that the flippant miss Dillon had too few problems. In first year she was a nuisance to the caretaker. By fourth year she had turned into a terror to equal the Weasly twins.
Since she had no interest in the personal fame, Vickie made sure that none of her pranks could be traced back to her. She did it for the thrill, the danger and the knowledge that she had had done it. Sneaking out of the dungeons, keeping out of sight from prefect patrols and teachers. Knowing that she might be discovered at any time.
It did happen occasionally, but fifteen years was as cunning as five had been. She was never without an excuse. A few detentions, a dozen or so lost house points. Looking at her record it was hard to guess that she was the prankster behind so many of the pranks at Hogwarts. Looking at her, it was even harder to guess, but her exploits were often well known throughout school. She never admitted to anything, but then she never tried to defend herself either. The one person she fears: the stern headmistress McGonagall.
