It was coming today, she knew it. Just then she heard the mailman, turn into her long sweeping driveway on his motorbike. She rushed out of her huge, old house to greet him. As he gave her the mail he smiled at her like he had done for the past week.
'She must have something important coming to her' he thought.
"What is it that you are waiting for?" He inquired.
"A letter from my school, telling me whether I made Head Girl or not" She replied grinning, "It has to be coming soon"
She turned her attention to the letters; there were four, two bills, a postcard and a thick creamy envelope with emerald green ink on the front and the familiar Hogwarts Crest in the top right hand corner.
"Oh my god" She squealed, "It's here"
"Well, let's see then, open it up" Said the postman smiling.
She opened it neatly and scanned the page.

A grin spread across Hermione's face as she finished the letter.
"Yes" She said punching the air.
"So, Head Girl is it?" The postman inquired.
"Not only that I was accepted into every N.E.W...Advanced class that I could have got into" Hermione corrected herself. A muggle such as the postman would have no idea what N.E.W.T classes were.
"My...my...you are a smart one, have a good year" Said the postman starting the motorbike again before riding down to the next letter box. Hermione waved goodbye before going back inside.

"Your Hogwarts letter has arrived Draco" Said a cold voice from to his left. He looked along the long lavish dining table towards his father. Cold grey eyes met cold steely blue.
"Really?", Inquired Draco politely, "May I see?"
He knew that the letters were coming and he was hoping that he had been made Head Boy, and then all of his hard work wouldn't have been for nothing.
"Of course" Replied his father. Draco immediately rose and walked along the table towards his father who was holding out a creamy, thick envelope.
"Thank you father" Said Draco, then looking at the opened letter he stated, "You opened it?"
"Naturally" Came his fathers reply.
Draco went quietly back to his seat and opened his letter; he wouldn't press the matter further unless he wanted a most unpleasant beating.

Draco grinned but quickly hid it, Malfoy's were never supposed to show emotion, and he just hoped that his father hadn't seen the twinge of a real grin spread across his son's face.
'Yes' He thought. I got the badge.
