XII. BEFORE IT ALL

━━━━━━

"With our chalkboard walls and slanted floors

Oh, we could've had that and so much more"


         A FLURRY OF EMOTIONS WAS not something she was all that used to, but that seem to be a common reoccurrence these days what with O.W.L.s nearing closer and closer as each day had past.

At this rate, Marjorie believed that she had already encountered all seven stages of grief. She had met shock and denial at the start of the year; pain and guilt from the fact that she should have studied more than she already was; anger and bargaining was what she was forced to feel when she realised that O.W.L.s was what would determine her whole life career — not really. Them there was depression, which was felt at every single moment of the day and whatever stages that comes after that.

O.W.L.s were messy. And frankly, she was already dreading the N.E.W.T.s.

But apparently, that was seemingly the least of her worries currently as out of the blue, there was a commotion; a small group of people were gathering by the Gryffindor notice board where, Marjorie just notice, had been affixed with a large sign — it was so large that it covered everything else on there — the lists of secondhand spellbooks for sale, the regular reminders of school rules from Argus Filch, the Quidditch team training schedule, the offers to barter certain Chocolate Frog cards for others, the Weasleys' new advertisement for testers, the dates of the Hogsmeade weekends, and the lost-and-found notices. The new sign was printed in large black letters and there was a highly official-looking seal at the bottom beside a neat and curly signature.
