I do not own Harry Potter.


Harry couldn't believe it. He and Hermione were up for a promotion and only one of them would get it. That promotion being the Senior Unspeakable in charge of the new Technomancy branch of the DoM. It may have taken four years at the University of Washington, over in the States to get to this.

The requirements that their boss demanded for the promotion was straight A's and graduating top of their major. Hermione didn't have to work hard for that unlike Harry but here they were, graduating top two in the Physics, Engineering, and Particle Theory majors. They had even been named summa cum laude.

But if Harry wanted that promotion than he had to get an A+ on this last final. So it came down to the bonus question that was staring him straight in the face. He just hoped that he could get this question to get the points to beat her.

'Is Hell Exothermic ( gives off heat) or Endothermic ( absorbs heat)?

'First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in the volume of Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls are entering Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by my best friend Hermione during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account that I slept with her last night, than number two must be correct, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has already frozen over, it follows that it is no longer accepting anymore souls and is therefore extinct … leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being, which explains why last night, Hermione kept shouting " Oh my God.'

Harry got the A+ he needed.

Six month later Harry stood at the alter waiting for his beautiful bride to walk down the aisle. Upon seeing her smile as she came towards him caused him to smile the brightest he ever had. The fact that no matter what style of dress she wore, Hermione couldn't hide the fact that she was six months pregnant.
