Episode Forty One
Gwen spent the rest of the afternoon resting quietly in bed with her thoughts.
She'd said some pretty horrible things to her mother before, but none so terrible as assigning the blame for her father's death. Beorc had left and Gwen would probably never get to apologize for flying off the handle like that.
She sighed. There was nothing to be done but get back to work. Though if she concentrated on her schooling anymore she'd soon be beating out Hermione's high scores, a prospect she looked on fearfully. Hermione took it as a personal affront for anyone to trample on her test scores. Gwen laughed and thought she would much rather remain on her good side than get top marks.
Something else was bothering Gwen. She hadn't thought of it before since she'd always been dealing with some other melodrama, but now it was looming on the horizon and if she didn't start thinking she'd be out of options when the time came.
It was her seventh year at Hogwarts and after this what was she going to do?
