Summary
littlebastardreviews posted the collected facts from the 2014 UK Editions of Harry Potter: and this fact caught my eye.
'Only one non-magical person has ever managed to get as far as the Hogwarts Sorting Hat before being exposed as a Squib.'
But, gosh it just makes me want a story where a squib did make it through. So here's a drabble about a squib with a quick mind and a hand-me-down wand, who refuses to be denied her birthright.
--
when the hat drops over her eyes it asks, 'well what do we have here?'
she’s got a forged hogwarts letter with penmanship that’s perfect down to the ink splatter;
she’s got a complicated string of owls, only half of them forged, from parents to administration to ministry that’s so complicated her name ended up on the first year roll call anyway.
she’s got ten arguments, four pleas, and one smothered threat on the tip of her mental tongue for why the house that comes out of this hat’s brim better not be 'squib'
she’s got a lighter up her sleeve and an eight and a half inch wand in her belt that will never, ever work for her.
'well,' says the hat, 'better be slytherin then'

Summary
"...[T]he dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute." - Terry Pratchett. Approximately six weeks after The Circle's fall from power, a fragment of the organisation returns to lash out against the only Cardassian living on Deep Space Nine. What the terrorists didn't anticipate, however, was being interrupted mid-abduction.

Bookmarker's Notes
Nice storyline told in episodic fashion. Great moments of character interaction throughout the crew. G&B pre G/B with a great exploration of how Bashir would have helped Garak handle a claustrophobic situation without prior knowledge of it.

Summary
"Just in here," Lisa said, gesturing to a door. "The doctors think that he may not last much longer."
"Thank you," Henry said with a small smile, letting himself into Abe's room.
Henry might be immortal, but Abe isn't. Dying conversations, they're not something that Henry, even in his age, never gets used to. And he might not have Abigail to turn to, but he does have a certain Detective instead.
