2 Week Drabble Wars: (scenario) Write about your character being undervalued in comparison to a man / (dialogue) "A weak man can't love a strong woman! He wouldn't know what to do with her."


Have you heard? McGregor and McGonagall won't have their wedding!

Have you heard? They say it's because she wasn't enough for him!

She wasn't enough? But she's such a strong woman!

No, it's the opposite! Didn't you know? A weak man can't love a strong woman! He wouldn't know what to do with her.

Was it even McGregor, who broke up with her?

Who else could it be? A woman breaking up with a man? That would be preposterous! Of course it was him, who ended it. Surely, she wasn't good enough…

~oOo~

The rumours, always the rumours. It made her feel like she had gotten punched in the gut.

But the saddest thing was that nobody would understand her decision, just because she acted like the independent woman she wanted to be. No, McGregor wasn't the one who called it quits; it was her. And she didn't do it because she didn't love them man, she did it because she wanted to avoid an unhappy life. But it seemed that nobody would understand that.

And nevertheless, she would just have to ignore these rumours. Minerva McGonagall wasn't going to go sulking in the corner just because someone told her to do so.
