Chapter 14: Exam Pressure

It was finally the last exam and Hermione was more than relieved. She was doing her Transfiguration Practical.

The examiner looked dreary and worn out like his body had expired but there was still life in him.

He had grey hair which he had combed over to cover a large bald-spot. The bags under his eyes were drooping low and age lines creased his forehead.

He wasn't exactly the best sight to see before an exam. She looked across at Ron who was also doing his Transfiguration exam. His face was screwed up in a look that showed he was in deep concentration.

Draco was beside Ron doing his exam. Draco saw Ron concentrating then coughed and his concentration immediately faltered.

The large vase filled with water that Ron had been levitating smashed to the ground. The water went everywhere and the pieces scattered all over the floor. The examiner sighed a sigh of disappointment and waved his wand so that the mess was cleared away.

Ron turned purple and Draco smirked. Hermione could tell Ron was using all his strength not run over to Malfoy and punch him in the face.

Poor Ron! Gee Draco can be an arsehole sometimes!

Hermione glared at Draco in away that said, "That went to far! Back off!"

Draco looked guilty and gave her a look of apology then went back to his exam.

Hermione went back to her own exam. So far she had thought she had done quite well! Though she thought she'd mixed up the Ghost Captain names in her History of Magic exam.

After the exam the hall had an eerie, glum feel about. It seemed like everyone thought they'd failed. Neville was looking a bit green as well.

Hermione spotted Draco with Crabbe, Goyle and Blaise. She walked over and sat with them.

"Hey guys!" she said brightly. Goyle stared her in a surprised way as though he thought she was some kind of extraterrestrial from outer space. He looked liked a confunded troll. But then again he always looked like that.

Draco smiled at her. But avoided her eyes.

He must still feel guilty about what happened in the Transfiguration exam. Serves him right to feel guilty.

"Hey good one on messing up Weasel's exam! I was watching it was hilarious! Did you see the Weasel's face? It was purple I swear!" laughed Blaise. Draco turned a bit green. He didn't look up.

Hermione sighed and walked over to where Ron, Harry and Ginny were standing. She felt Draco's eyes staring at her. But she didn't turn back.

"Ron I'm so sorry for what Draco did to you in the Transfiguration exam! It wasn't funny and it wasn't nice!" said Hermione.

"It's fine," he mumbled, "I'm sorry for giving you all that crap the other day. I didn't mean to ruin your chances with that git Malfoy."

It wasn't much of an apology but Hermione accepted it, as that was probably as good as it was going to get. They talked about what they stuffed up in and how the examiners were stupid gits and should be shot dead.

Hermione didn't say much as she didn't really stuff up on anything and saying the examiners should be shot dead wasn't exactly what she had in mind for a friendly conversation.

"Anyway I think that if I don't do well in my exams I could really take S.P.E.W. far!" said Hermione excitedly.

"Hermione the day you fail an exam is the day hell freezes over!" said Harry.

"And anyway what kind of career would be going around saving house elves!" said Ron, "It would be pretty crap!"

But deeply regretted saying it by getting another one of Hermione's death stares and a slap on the arm. Ginny, who wasn't really part of the argument, just laughed.

Finally the last of the exams had finished and they were allowed to go back to their rooms.

Hermione trudged back dragging her feet along the ground. She was so tired!

I think I'm going to skip my usual evening read.

Thank god the crazy cat lady was asleep. The great thing about the portrait was that's if the fat lady was asleep or away you just yank the portrait open.

She then remembered that Dumbledore had asked her to write the Graduation speech.

Oh shit I have to get going! Graduation is only a bloody week away! God help me!

Hermione quickly got up off her bed and ran to her desk. She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen then started writing.

By the time Hermione had finished it was midnight. She slumped onto her bed and immediately fell asleep.

And that's the end! I hope you enjoyed! Sorry this chapter wasn't very interesting or funny but it was just one of those chapters where nothing really happens. Like an explaining chapter. Also sorry if it's a bit shorter than usual I couldn't think of anything to write. I have a bad case of writers block. Does anyone know how to cure it? I'd like some suggestions! Well thanks for reading this chapter. It was dreadful but short so that's ok. Well see you next chapter! Bye! Oh and don't forget to review. Reviews make me feel special. Bye!
