Seventh drabble for the Despised Characters challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum: Sybill Trelawney.
Despised Characters
Write a drabble featuring a character/ship that you despise. This is NOT an opportunity for character/ship bashing. Instead it should be a serious attempt to portray the hated character(s) in a positive light.
She lives locked in her tower, locked with her imaginary gift, the Third Eye she clings to like to dear life.
Her life revolves around her sight.
Every word she speaks to her students is about divination. That would seem obvious, yet it is important, quite important indeed, for she hardly speaks to anyone else – except to buy sweet liquor.
Her ethereal undertones are calling for visions.
She doesn't think of it, never, yet this job saved her life. You can't live speaking dramatic riddles and smiling mysteriously, and the real world is so cruel.
But she is safe.
