Multitudinous
Drabble One
Character: Romilda Vane
Genre: Hurt, Slight Angst (?)
Prompt: Beauty
Word count: 100
Written for the '100 Prompts, 100 Drabbles, 100 Words or Less' challenge on the Harry Potter FanFiction Challenges forum. If all goes as planned, each drabble will contain a new character. No repeats.
I'm generally not fantastic at legitimate drabbles and this is going to be an experiment for me. I hope all goes well, but some things might be a bit awkward until I figure this writing thing out. Ha. So. Enjoy!

Seated by her vanity, hairbrush in hand, motionless, she stares at her reflection, searching for beauty that has long gone.
Age hasn't been kind. A frizzy mass of black has replaced once beautiful locks and chubby cheeks regal cheekbones. Her eyes are dark, lost somewhere between her fat face and overwhelming hair.
She stares at the hairbrush and fights tears, then towards the containers which litter her vanity.
Suddenly, such useless products anger her. She flicks her wand toward the bottles, calm and sure.
Watches as they explode.
Laughs.
Stands.
Carefully places the hairbrush on the vanity.
And walks away.
