Written for the Character of the week challenge by Fire the Cannon. The challenge was one character, and five drabbles. I made each drabble exactly 200 words.
Disclaimer: I am not creative enough to own such a character or universe.
First challenge, Arabella Figg in a romantic relationship.
1000 Words of Arabella Figg

"I don't care that you're a squib, you are beautiful and whatever my family wants to say doesn't matter."
The words Arabella Tanner had always wanted to hear were now coming from this man's lips. A wizard, of pure blood, was admitting his love to her and she couldn't believe it was real. "Do you mean it?"
"I will run from my family if that is what it takes."
Her heart melted and they ran away together immediately. Neither of them realised just what the cost would be. Now Arabella Tanner was standing at the grave of Mortimer Figg, her eyes bloodshot and tears burned down her cheeks. Never had she imagined the lengths these families would go to hide anything they found shameful. Still she could picture her lovers father bursting in, threatening Arabella until she ran and hid, instead he took his drunken anger out on his own son. Not even a flinch as he watched his son fall dead to the ground. And it was because she ran. In that moment she felt like the weakling squib she was always assumed to be. The only person who ever made her feel equal was gone, because of her.
Review's are appreciated because these are so short I don't even know if there is any quality in them. So let me know!
Love,
