A/N: This is written for The "365 Days of Drabbles" Challenge. This is a challenge to write a drabble or one-shot a day for 365 days. Each day will have a prompt that is to be used that day. Most of these will revolve around Sevmione. If you don't like the pairing, don't read. They won't be in any particular order. The prompt for day 8: Achievment.
Achievement
It was graduation day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hermione sat with the other graduates nervously waiting to hear her name and get her diploma. First, though, were the achievement awards.
The first awards were for the students who improved the most in a certain subject from first through seventh—or in some cases this year, eighth—years. Hermione smiled and cheered when Neville won Most Improved in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Next came the awards for the students who had the best marks in a certain subject. Hermione had been warned by both the Headmistress and Severus that she wouldn't be winning any of these awards. She would be the only one up there getting medals if they allowed that.
There was one other achievement award she could win. It was for the student who kept up the best marks over their entire school career. There was also one for the most improved student overall, but Hermione wouldn't win that one. The one for Best Marks was between her and—
"Draco Malfoy." Hermione started as Malfoy's name was called for Best Marks in Potions.
Now she was the only one in the running for Best Marks Overall.
"And now for the Best Marks in All Classes for Seven Years," said Headmistress McGonagall. She paused for a moment drawing out the suspense. "Hermione Granger." Hermione walked up to the podium where Professor McGonagall was standing, shook her hand, and accepted her medal and certificate.
You wouldn't know it to look at him, but Severus was proud of Hermione's achievement. He had already bought the frame for her certificate and had planned to hang it next to his certificate for the same in his study. He would give to her in his chambers later tonight. The night couldn't come soon enough.
