Status: Incomplete Complete!
Rowan heavily slammed her bag onto the library table, earning a glare from the formidable Madam Pince. Flinging herself down into one of the chairs, she allowed herself a moment of relaxation. She had pulled an all-nighter the previous evening to finish an essay that was due today, and she had three essays due tomorrow and two tests. She also possibly had a pop quiz in McGonagall's the next day that she had to study for as well. She felt completely shattered. Seven classes in a NEWT test year perhaps was too much for her to handle, in addition to Prefect duties and Quidditch practice. She twisted her hair back into a bun and shoved her wand through to hold it in place. Then, she pulled her Arithmancy text out, and a crumpled paper fluttered to the floor. Picking it up, she noticed the Leroux family seal and experienced a moment of panic. She had had this letter for over two weeks. Marc hadn't written since. What if he wanted to break up with her now, because she was so inconsiderate? Marc would realize she had just got caught up, wouldn't he? Hands shaking, she broke the seal.
This, in combination with the absolutely awful day, week- month, actually, if she were honest, was just too much. She read the letter again, and again once more, and then she burst into noisy tears, her head in her arms.
