(no subject)
This morning, I woke up in Rene's my bed, and noticed the beautiful day streaming in through my windows and I thought to myself that it would be one of the best days of my life.
Rene asked me to marry him. I'm still in shock.
Then, I woke to find three owls staring at me from the window, which shocked me. I had specifically set my personal charms to not recieve owls at Rene's, just due to the question factor. Luckily, he wasn't awake yet, so I snuck off to the den to read my mail.
First blow : First owl I opened by random carried a Magical Media Inc seal. I was such in haste that I didn't even realize that the letter I was reading was a REJECTION letter, instead of a much-expected acceptance letter. Actually, to be plain, I was expecting them to practically beg me to work there. So when it finally clicked into my brain, I almost wanted to scream. They have FUCKED me over.
I"m not going to waste time reading out the legal mumbojumbo and letter-speak. They told me that they loved my new charm, but unfortunately could not employ me as my NEWT grades did not meet minimum standards. HOWEVER - due to the policies in fine print at the bottom of the application (that of course I didn't fucking read, you would figure I would cover all my bases, but I was so sure they would hire me...) - any submissions are kept by the company even if they do not hire the prospective employee. So that means I'm so screwed.
At this point in the morning, I was in denial - I know I could NOT have failed my NEWTS? If ANYONE in that damned school passed the tests, it should have been me. Denial!
Second Blow: So, seeing the matching seal on the next letter, I opened it to find out that MagiMedical (who is a partner company to Magical Media, who would have known?) said the EXACT same bullshit about my potion now. Screwed. Again.
I don't know how much I ever said about either the potion or the charm, seeing as I didn't want to jinx myself - but I can promise you that both companies will profit greatly and I will be screwed out of all recognition and royalties.
Third Blow: I opened the next OWL, noticing the ministry seal - knowing it was my NEWT results, I practically ripped the letter off the OWL's leg. I wanted so desperately for all of this to be a mistake, wanted to see my NEWTs and know that I could rub the perfect scores in the face of both companies. I KNEW that I couldn't have failed the NEWTs.
But we all know what was in the letter, don't we?
I'm NOT going back, I'm NOT. I -refuse-. I don't need another year of schooling - I passed those damned NEWTs and I don't care what the ministry says. I am not going to leave right now and go back to England and begin a life I was already ready to give up.
Just what the am I supposed to tell Rene? I can just see how this would go - "Oh, love, I'm sorry - I have to go back to England for another year because I was apparently too stupid and I have to go back to school?" 'Hermione, what'd you fail?' "Charms, transfiguration, potions, history of magic... you know, all the basics.."
What a mess. I seriously can not deal with this. I am lost as to what to do about this, about Rene.
Stupid magic has done nothing but cause me trouble since the day I was born. It's days like this I wish I was just an ordinary muggle sometimes. Bah.
