Hiya everyone! I'm determined to keep writing because I am sure that if I
don't then I'll get writer's block, big time! So on with the story.
Lunch.
Soon after Hermione, Harry and the rest of the Weasleys had finished their lunch (boiled new potatoes, salad, tomatoes, coleslaw and about eight pints of home-made lemonade) Pig arrived in the kitchen struggling to carry a large box, five times his size containing even heavier decorations, accompanied by a severe looking brown owl who had four thick envelopes tied round his legs. They were their (Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny's) Hogwarts letters- three of which containing some very important O.W.L results.
Ron rescued Pig, passing the large box to Hermione, who smiled gratefully at Ron as he passed her the package, while Harry untied the letters and passed them around. Ginny ripped open her letter, frowning at the number of books she'd have to buy and quickly departed to go and find Mrs. Weasley and break the bad news.
Hermione grinned nervously at Ron and Harry who manage small, extremely nervous smiles back. "On the count of three?" she asked. Ron and Harry just grunted in reply apparently too nervous to manage speech. "One ... two ... two and a half ... THREE!" The three of them instantly ripped into their parchment envelopes. Inside were three pieces of parchment for each of them. The first was the annual letter from Professor. McGonagall listing the choice of lessons to chose depending on their O.W.L results, the books they would need to buy for each lesson and apologising for the short delay of their results (as they been expected in July and it was now early August). The second piece of parchment was a list of the lessons to choose from, which results were needed for each lesson and a box to tick if you chose to take the lesson. The list was as followed:
Arthimancy..............................E
Care of Magical Creatures............A
Charms..................................E
Defence Against the Dark Arts.......E
Divination...............................E
Herbology...............................A
History of Magic.......................O
Muggle Studies.........................P
Potions...................................E
(Usually Professor Snape only accepts students with the top grade 'Outstanding', but due to a lack of students with satisfactory grades in Professor Snape's opinion he has had to lower his guideline)
Transfiguration.........................E
Astronomy..............................A
Now there was only one piece of parchment left- the results! On the parchment there were three columns listing the grade for the written exam, the practical exam (if necessary) and the average grade for each lesson, Hermione's results were as follows:
Arthimancy O – Outstanding
Care of Magical Creatures O / O – Outstanding
Charms O/O – Outstanding
Defence Against the Dark Arts O/O – Outstanding
Herbology O/O – Outstanding
History of Magic E – Exceeds Expectations
Muggle Studies O – Outstanding
Potions O/O – Outstanding
Transfiguration O/O – Outstanding
Astronomy O/E – Outstanding
"Wow, Ron, Harry! I got nine Os! Nine!" exclaimed Hermione as she pulled them both into a tight hug. "Why not ten?" asked Ron, "I was sure that you would ..." "Well, during the History of Magic exam Harry fainted, didn't he and after that I just couldn't concentrate." Harry looked crest-fallen. "Sorry Hermione ..." Harry began until Ron stopped him, "It wasn't your fault, and besides, I bet the real reason Hermione didn't get an O is because she forgot all the names of the Goblins!" "I Did Not!" Barked Hermione, Ron just winked at her causing her to turn a familiar shade of crimson. "Well ... I think I'll go and unpack the decorations outside, if that's ok with you two ..." "Hang on, Hermione" said Harry, "Don't you want to know what we got?" "Oh, right, go on then ..." "I got Os in Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms, Es in Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures and in Potions, and I got As in the rest except for History of Magic in which I got a D" Said Harry happily. "I got the same as Harry except for a P in History of Magic and a high E in Charms" muttered Ron. "Well done! That's brilliant!" And with that she gave Harry a tight hug and then turned and gave Ron an equally tight hug but for slightly longer, and while they were joined Hermione whispered to him "You're amazing!" After they pulled away, Hermione looked shy and quickly departed from the room while Ron stood transfixed on the spot smiling, but slightly red in the face.
A/N: Hope you liked it- finally, got this chapter finished- enjoy! I'm actually getting excited about where this is going. P.S. If any one has any ideas or requests they'd like to make please review, or e-mail me at Oh, if you're a fan of Harry Potter, visit – hilarious!
