Chapter 14 – Exams and Escapes

Friday 13th May 1994 [Robert Pattinson turned eight on this date]

I was sat in the common room finishing my homework, the exams were in two weeks time and Natalie was adamant that we finish our homework and revise almost every spare minute we had. Harry, Ron and Hermione were sat at a table in a corner surrounded by books. Hedwig tapped the window and Harry let her in through the window.

I grabbed my Transfiguration book and started that homework. Even Fred and George had been seen doing work as they were about to start their OWLs. Percy would snap at anyone who made the slightest noise as he was about to take his NEWTs. And had to do well because he wanted to get into the Ministry. Tensions were running high throughout the school.

Monday 30th May 1994

Today was the first day of my exams. I walked to the large classroom where we were doing our Charms theory exam with the special quills given to us bewitched with anti-cheating spell. The girls and I walked in and took our seats and waited for the exam to begin.

---

I was waiting outside a classroom for Professor Flitwick to call me in for the practical side of my charms exam.

"Miss Weasley," Professor Flitwick called and I walked inside. He asked me to make a coconut do cart wheels in the air. I did my best and I think it went alright. I walked outside where the girls were waiting for me and we walked down to the great hall for lunch.

After lunch we sat in one of the courtyards and revised for Transfiguration until it was nearly time and we left to do the theory exam.

---

I walked inside and Professor McGonagall asked me to turn a mouse into a snuff-box. I managed to transfigure it well, there were no whiskers and I even managed to make a simple pattern appear on it. I joined the girls and we returned to the common room to revise for Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions.

Tuesday 31st May 1994

The Defence Against the Dark Arts theory exam wasn't so bad, I was quite confident about the answers I wrote down and feel relaxed as I wait for Professor Lupin to call me in for the practical exam.

---

I hate potions, mainly because of Professor Snape. I'm sure I did alright on the theory but how was I supposed to concentrate on making my forgetfulness potion with him breathing down my neck. I like how he doesn't disturb the Slytherins.

---

Four subjects down, three more to go.

Wednesday 1st June 1994

History of Magic is so boring, I hope I remembered the dates correctly. I sat down at a table in the common room and pulled out my Astronomy chart to study for the exam we had tonight.

---

I think that exam went well, I remembered most of it. I climbed into bed tiredly happy that I finished my exams tomorrow.

Thursday 2nd June 1994

I waited outside the greenhouse with the rest as we waited for the practical part of our Herbology exam having done the theory an hour ago. Professor Sprout called us in and told us what to do.

---

"Finally! Exams are over and we don't have to worry about the results for a while," I said to the girls as we walked to the great hall for lunch.

Thursday 9th June 1994 [In the book it says the appeal is on the sixth and that is the day of their last exam but that is a Thursday and the sixth is on a Monday]

Today was Harry, Ron and Hermione's last day of exams, they had Defence Against the Dark Arts and Ron and Harry had Divination whereas Hermione had Muggle Studies.

I saw them at lunch looking anxious, it may have something to do with the appeal for Hagrid's Hippogriff. I spent the afternoon just relaxing with the girls outside by the lake. Jared had his last exam tomorrow. I was going to see him after that.

After dinner we went back to the common room and I noticed that Ron, Harry and Hermione didn't join us. I had heard, because Malfoy had been gloating about it, that Hagrid lost the appeal. Stupid Malfoy.

I played Wizard's Chess with Allison for awhile and then watched her play with Nikki. It was nearly midnight when I decided to call it a night and go to bed as I was rather sleepy now.

Friday 10th June 1994

I walked out of breakfast slightly shocked, Professor Lupin is a werewolf? I still think he is by far the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher ever, I wish he hadn't resigned. I had also heard that Sirius Black had been caught last night but escaped yet again, I don't what the Ministry is doing.

---

I walked out of lunch and went to meet Jared as I had planned to, thinking about how the summer was going to go and what would happen between us.

Thursday 30th June 1994

The exam results came out today and I passed everything and I did really well in Charms and Transfiguration. Harry and Ron passed all their exams and Hermione got top marks in everything. Percy got his top-grade N.E. and Fred and Gorge got a handful of O. each. Gryffindor house had won the house championship for a third year running, which meant that the great hall was decorated with scarlet and gold banners and the end of year feast was that much more enjoyable.

---

I walked back to the common room and went to my dormitory where the girls were waiting for me. I had just been talking to Jared and we had decided that we would see how things go during the summer, if it didn't work out then we would still remain friends. I was happy about that as he is the first boyfriend I have ever had and I had my first kiss with him as well.

Friday 1st July 1994

I sat down in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express and watched as the train pulled out of the station. I played Exploding Snap with the girls in turn and talked about our plans for the summer. I told them that I might go to the Quidditch Cup final as my ad can usually get tickets and I was looking forward to that.

---

I grabbed my trunk and made my way off the train behind the girls. Once I got on the platform I said goodbye to them all promising to write and made my way through the barrier and towards mum and dad, who were waiting with Percy. I greeted them with a hug and noticed Harry's Uncle standing a little way away. Harry, Ron and Hermione appeared through the barrier and mum hugged Harry in greeting before turning to Hermione. Harry bid them farewell and turned towards his uncle.

"I'll call about the world cup!" Ron yelled after him. Hermione said bye and went to her parents. Fred and George arrived and we all left to go home, questioning Ron about his new owl. He was the cutest little thing and I decided that he should call him Pigwedieon.


Ok, so Review please and the next chapter should be up after christmas or just after new years. I will try to make it extra long or post two chapters again =]
