Grading on a Curve
Hermione, George and Fred, 100 words.
"If Professor Umbridge keeps this up, we'll all fail our O.W.L.s!" Hermione cried.
George Weasley, sitting nearby with Fred, shook his head. "Nah. They'd never do that. Fudge'll just fudge the results," he said, laughing.
"Lower the standards," said Fred.
"Have us all pass anyway," said George.
"You mean we wouldn't fail?" asked Hermione.
"Nah."
Hermione thought about this. She'd rather learn in class than not, of course, but she could do it on her own. She'd spent four years doing that around Harry and Ron. If she would pass anyway...
She didn't bother Harry with her defence club idea.
