Disclaimer: I never have owned, and never will own, Harry Potter. This drabble collection is written simply for entertainment and to play around with two of the more minor characters in the Wizarding world.
A/N: This is the first drabble of 100 that I'm writing for the 100 prompts, 100 drabbles, 100 words or less challenge hosted by dancingwithrainbows on the HPFC forums. Each drabble will be a snapshot in the lives of Seamus Finnegan and Lavender Brown. They don't go in any order and some of them might even contradict each other. Anyway, I hope these are as enjoyable to read as they are to write :)
The prompt was Beauty and it's 98 words in all.
"You're still beautiful." Seamus insisted, wiping away a single tear that had slid down Lavender's cheek.
"I don't feel beautiful." She murmured, staring at her back in the mirror. Her once unblemished skin was now covered in scars from when Fenrir Greyback had attacked her.
The voice of one the nurses at Saint Mungo's echoed in her mind:
'The poor thing! She was so beautiful and now she's scarred for life - physically and emotionally!'
Seamus traced one of the scars with his finger,
"They give you character, you know... they make you look like a true Gryffindor."
Drabble two shall be posted soon. Read & review ;)
