HP Drabble: Rejection

[ancarett]

Making the first of my drabble posts from the many lovely prompts given me.

This is for cordelia_v who requested something involving Snape and academic politics. I hope this suffices: one hundred words isn't a lot in which to pull that off. Set sometime before "Half Blood Prince" and quite non-spoilery. And my first attempt at Snape. Most intriguing!

Oooohhhh!! Very in-character for Snape and the imagery of him filing the rejection letter away is almost chilling. I really liked this!! :-)

Thank you! Snape was very intimidating to take on, so I'm glad it worked.

[cordelia_v]

Oh, very fine. Yes, you've translated all the adminitrivia detritus beautifully. And the filing away the rejections, year after year . . .

*shivers*

Thank you!

I'm so glad it worked for you -- I figured the endless letters of rejection would be a very sore point for Professor Snape as they would for any academic!

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

Emo Nemo icon? OMG -- brilliant!

I'm glad you liked the drabble.

Oh heavens, of course he keeps it. Lovely work, this. I feel for the bugger.

Thanks for the comment! I believe that Rowling really wants us to feel sympathy for Snape and anyone who's gone through so much rejection must be carrying around a lot of grievances.

Thanks for the praise. Yours is one of the ones I'm working on now and may get posted tomorrow if all goes well.
