The examiner looked at her through his glasses, making her feel nervous. What if she was wearing the wrong thing? Did she have something stuck to her shoe?
Logically, she knew he had probably heard of how good Hermione Granger was at everything and was curious about her. But she, the most logical witch in her year, had a hard time believing that part of her brain.
It seemed forever until the examiner told her what she would have to do. He opened a chest that was sitting on the table and a boggart jumped out. For a moment it flickered between two fears until the examiner moved away and it turned permanently into a test with a huge 'T' on the top-failure.
She stared at the floating test wanting it to just go away. It told her that all her fears had come true-that she wasn't good enough, not perfect enough, not smart enough.
She breathed in hard and forced herself to imagine a clown face appearing on the test. "Riddikulus!" she shouted. And it faded away.
