Rambles and Snippets
AN: This is for a challenge on http/ www.sycotic.o rg /fnet (without the spaces). It's called drabbles, and it's pretty self-explanatory. The only thing these stories have in common… is the fandom, Harry Potter.
Reviews would be appreciated… 3
1- SUBLIME
It was uplifting, inspiring, transcendent, magnificent, moving. I held the envelope in my shaking hands, turning it over in awe. The coarse parchment was imprinted with my name and address in a deep onyx ink: Hermione Granger, 13 Kingsfield Avenue. I pressed it to my lips, inhaling deeply. It smelled of success, of accomplishment, of an assured immortal place among the record books. I turned it over, absentmindedly standing up and pushing back my desk chair. A purple wax coat of arms was melted onto the back of the envelope. This was it. After seven years, this was the letter to end all letters. Head Girl, I thought, barely mouthing the words. I carefully broke the seal and straightened out the paper.
Dear Miss Granger,
We were pleased to review your application for Head Girl. Your accomplishments in academia and in extracurricular activities as well as leadership and community outreach.

This was it, this was surreal. This was—
Unfortunately, we feel it is best that you instead concentrate on your studies, as you will have a very full schedule in your Seventh Year. We feel you might overdo it, and we all would hate to see you divided in your priorities. We regret to have to inform you that you were not selected as this year's Head Girl.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall Head Mistress
—it was sublime. I fell backwards into my chair.
