A drabble for the Abuse challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum.
Dedicated to Mesteria, because she's sick, I'm being a useless friend to her and this happens to be a Lucissa, even if it's a sad and hopeless one, so... Love you, doll.
Abuse
Write a 100, 200, 300, or up to 900 word oneshot about one of J.K. Rowling's characters showing/having a reaction to some sort of mental/physical/psychological abuse they have gone through. More so, really the writing must show the main character of you guys' responses being 'affected' by something someone else has done or will do.
(he said that no matter the choices he made, he would protect her)
Narcissa keeps her head high, because that's the thing she's always done best.
Narcissa holds her family together, never failing, never crying.
(she cries at night, leaving the bed wordlessly)
Her Manor is grand and beautiful, her house-elves are quick and efficient, her wand feels warm in her hand as she holds it firmly.
(her husband is helpless, her sister is crazy, and a master she never chose is reigning in her own house)
Narcissa never complains.
(but at times she hateshimhateshimhateshim)
(because he let her down)
