1 Chapter 16 – Revision
"Ron?" Harry and Hermione were sanding at the end of Ron's bed in Madam Pomfrey's Office. He had collapsed after the match, when he was just about to explain to the School Nurse what had happened.
"Ron? Are you alright?" Hermione asked as Ron was just waking up. "When we came here to see if you were alright Madam Pomfrey told us that you had collapsed. I hope you're head doesn't hurt too much."
"Yeah, I'm O.K."
Madam Pomfrey hurried in when she heard that Ron was awake. "How do you feel?"
"Alright."
"You need rest." She turned to Harry and Hermione "I'm sorry but visiting time is over. You better leave. I'm sure you have enough revision to do anyway. Now, hurry off."
"Yes Madam. See you Ron, I hope you get better soon." Harry said. It felt weird to him seeing Ron in a bed in the hospital wing. Usually it was himself that was lying there, watching people come in to see him.
"Goodbye Ron, I do hope your well soon and have enough time to study for your Owl's." She turned to Harry and gestured to him to leave the hospital wing.
Just as they were leaving, Ron sat up, remembering that he had his exams coming up in less than a month. "I forgot!"
Madam Pomfrey turned sharply on her heel. "Quiet!" She breathed in and out deeply. "Forgot about what, exactly?"
"I've got my exams coming up! I totally forgot!"
"Be Quiet!" She said, adjusting the covers on his bed and pushing him slightly so that he would lie down. "Now I'm sure you'll have enough time to revise, if you get some rest then you'll be out of here extremely fast." She stood up and looked over to Harry and Hermione who were now standing by the door watching them. "Can I help you?"
"No Madam, sorry." Hermione said.
"Then I suggest you leave."
They walked out of the door and up to the Gryffindor common
Room.

As their exams drew near, it seemed that every spare second was spent revising. They had been given their changed timetable the previous week, and had been disappointed at first when realising they had a Potions test with Professor Snape first thing on the Monday morning. But then Hermione pointed out that afterwards they could get it out of their way and not have to think about it for the rest of the week.
Ron read the timetable again to Harry and Hermione as they were studying in the common room:
|Monday |Tuesday |Wednesday |Thursday |Friday | |Potions |Herbology |Care of |Charms |Defence | | | |magical | |against the| | | |creatures | |dark arts | |Study |Transfiguration |Divination |History |FREE | |Time | | |of Magic | |
Just then Ginny Weasley walked over carrying her schoolbooks, Ron muttered "Oh great." under his breath and tucked his timetable in one of his inside pockets of his robes.
"Hi guys. Just came over to wish you good luck for your Owl's. How's your head Ron?" She asked politely.
"Fine." He said, opening up a random page in his textbook and pretending to read through it.
"Good. Well I better be off then." She gave a quick smile at Harry and turned to go back to her chair by the fireplace.
"Bye." Harry said. Ron closed his book and pulled out three chocolate frogs from his pocket and offered them to Harry and Hermione.
"I think I've done enough revising now." Hermione said, closing her book and leaning back in her chair. "How are you two doing with yours?" She rubbed her forehead; she looked tired, Harry thought.
"Fine." Ron shoved another sweet into his mouth. "Just got Transfiguration and Herbology left after I finish potions."
"What? I didn't realise you were so behind!" She sat up straight and opened his book to help him.
"Leave him Hermione. He's not behind. And besides, what business is it of yours if he fails?" Harry said, giving Ron a quick glance as if to say 'you can thank me later.'
Hermione stood with her books in her arms. "Well I hope you both fail. It'll teach you not to study." With that she turned on her heel and headed for the Girls' staircase.
