drabble: cranky - filch

[cranky] - filch
character inspiration from [livejournal.com profile] dorrie6's drabble for crappy. part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

They didn't know for sure until the letter didn't come. "Our Argus is a late bloomer, that's all," his mother said with a thin lipped smile, but away from knowing eyes she made no secret of the shame. "You must work harder. No child of mine will live as a Muggle."

His position at Hogwarts is supposed to be an honour, but inside everything is anger, twisting knives, a stone pressing down on his chest. The students make a mockery of him as they squander their gift through sloth and hormones.

Magic is a privilege. They too will work harder.

You did so much better with my characterization than I did. :) This is wonderful.
