CHAPTER 9
The first year exams were to take place in the first week of June and the second years followed the week after. Lucy had no time for mischief as she had to take both set of exams which meant revising an amazing amount of information, however at the end of the fortnight Lucy was fairly sure she had done alright.
The students would receive their results before they left for the summer; Lucy was called to Professor McGonagall's office early one evening and given a list of subjects to choose from for the next year.
"You have done well enough in your exams that Dumbledore has decided to move you directly to 3rd year next year with a few exceptions, you will not be permitted to visit Hogsmeade village with the other 3rd years because I feel that you are not yet old enough."
"Thank you Professor."
"Be warned Lucy if you do not keep up with your chosen subjects, you will rejoin the 2nd year."
"Yes Miss," Lucy was dismissed and she returned to the common room reading the list on the way."
Dear Mum and Dad
I have to choose my subjects before I leave for the summer
what do you think about Arithmancy, Ancient runes and care
of magical creatures? Love you lots and hope you can answer
quickly thanks.
Love Lucy X X X
The next morning Lucy received a reply from home.
Dear Lucy,

you have chosen sound like the right choice for you, We
hope you are behaving yourself we will meet your train in
London love from Mum and Dad X X X
Lucy was excited about going home, she would miss the castle and her friends especially Andrea, but it would be fun to be a normal 11 year old again for a while. And maybe for her birthday she could have a party! Lucy could barely take in all the events of the last few months and though pleased to have passed all her exams was still a bit bewildered at the end of term banquet. They were all given letter warning them not to use magic over the summer. "How could they know anyway?" asked Lucy. "Well all magic families are on a register and especially those who live in muggle areas are monitored, but say for instance your father is a wizard, well its very difficult to tell who's doing the magic isn't it" answered Andrea her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Honestly, your hopeless, you're a bad influence on me" laughed Lucy. "That's why we get on so well" replied Andrea happily. Next day all the students boarded the train to King's Cross for their summer holidays, Lucy was not alone in wondering how next year could possibly be any more exciting or strange as this year. The idea that only a year ago she had no idea anything like this was even possible made Lucy smile
