Prompts: Tears (#505), scream

Morag MacDougal

Morag was boiling with anger as she stomped into her dorm and slammed the door shut behind her.

"What's your problem?"

Morag turned to glare at the blonde addressing her, and was going to snap at her to mind her own business but her mouth took off with her on another tangent. Apparently to preoccupied to care about anything or anyone else.

"He broke up with me!" She yelled indignantly. "For fucking Ginny Weasley!"

"Who?" Padma asked, and Morag turned to glare at the dark-haired girl who was exiting the girl's bathroom, drying her long hair.

"Who bloody else?! Michael!" Morag snapped back. "What does that Weasley brat have that I don't? She's nothing but a freckly, flat-chested, tomboy who is obsessed with Potter! She doesn't even have a personality!"

"She's not a bitch?" Lisa proposed, though she more muttered it under her breath. Morag turned to glare at the blonde, ready to tear the other girl's hair out.

Perhaps sensing this, Padma intervened. Something she and Sue Li often had to do between the blonde and red-head.

"Maybe you're better off, sweetie," Padma stated in empathetic tones. "You're too good for him."

"Why are you so angry anyway?" Lisa asked, sitting up from where she'd been laying on her stomach reading a book on her bed. Her chin-length, straight blonde hair pinned back by clips. "I thought you said that you were going to dump him because he was such an awful date at the Yule Ball."

"Yeah, I was going to dump him! He wasn't supposed to dump me! And he did it in front of our entire House! He didn't even pull me aside to do it in private!" Morag wailed, her face burning red as she recalled the humiliation she just suffered moments before. She could begin to feel tears prickling in her eyes.

But Morag MacDougal did not cry!

In truth, Michael was no big loss. He was a bit of a shallow git, and Morag had truthfully started to get quite bored with him after she got over his looks.

But it hurt her pride grievously, damn it, to be chucked for the likes of Ginny Weasley by Michael Corner!

Instantly both Lisa and Padma were on either side of her, wrapping her up in a hug.

"It's okay, hon," Padma consoled.

"Yeah. We'll just do something really mean and humiliate him for doing this to you," Lisa consoled and Morag couldn't help her spirits lifting slightly and a laugh being ripped on her.

She had to admit, though she often got into spats with Lisa, and Padma sometimes could be quite the nag, she did appreciate her friends now and again.
