It is no surprise that Dumbledore achieved O's in all his tests achieving above many of those who were a year older then him.

For his fifth year I have been given access to his school reports that were sent home at the end of the year, of course, as he was a year ahead he was following the sixth year syllabus:

Ancient Runes: Professor Winifred Orthogos

The course consists of Ancient Norse Egyptian and Greek icons with particular emphasis on the fall of Atlantis.

I have taken great pleasure in teaching Albus this year; a seldom occurring feat! In my many long years as a teacher I have never met a student who is more courteous and well mannered. I found his coursework entitled: 'Both Spellman and Lyricus translated the same text and yet arrived at starkly different interpretations; using the original text and your own knowledge of the context evaluate both in relation to their relevance and likelihood.' masterfully written and more importantly concise.

Care of Magical Creatures: Madam Busara Ngwane

In this experimental scheme students are introduced to magical creatures procured by Madam Ngwane from many different countries and continents. Unfortunately Madam Ngwane has been off as usual for much of the year to gather these creatures, and thus the teaching at best has been erratic though she managed to send this report from her current hunt.

Albus has an innate respect for all the creatures that I have taught him about, though, this is sometimes ill-advised especially when dealing with such undesirable creatures as red-caps as doxies.

Charms: Professor Curtis Krispin

Sixth year students are taught the rudiments of charm creation, non-verbal spells and very advanced charms including muggle barring bewitchments and artefact enchantment.

In charms Albus has performed well throughout the year, he has a firm grip of the fundamentals of charm creation and uses this to refine his charm work to great effect. He mastered non-verbal spells almost instantaneously though, it comes as no surprise as he is perhaps the most focused student I have ever taught. His charm work generally is intimidating to both students and myself and he conducts himself with maturity and style.

Defence Against the Dark Arts: Madam Andraste Knapp

Building upon the foundations started in the earlier years students are expected to perform moderate to difficult counter curses. A core subject is also the study of morality concerning the question when does a counter-curse become a curse.

"Albus has a clear and precise mind that allows him to form a good grasp of morality and to understand the proper situations to utilise a counter-curse. He is an exemplary student and can protect himself and those around him with great skill.

Healing: Madam Apollia Gallows In their sixth year students learn bone-melding bewitchments, antidotes and cures for simple creature caused hurts, magical malady identification in addition to carrying out regular practical exams on patients received in the hospital wing with an assortment of injuries.

Dumbledore has performed well throughout the year and is an accomplished healer.

History of Magic: Professor Berold Binns

The syllabus of the sixth year focuses not on one specific time in wizarding history but observes trends, patterns and opinions, therefore teaching students the ability to evaluate many available sources and thus make their own decision. The year culminates with an essay on a subject agreed by both the teacher and the student. Students are also able to extend their knowledge by subscribing to extra lessons that focus on the Giant Wars of the past decades.

Alby, as per usual, has performed outstandingly in my classes, he has a devotion for History of Magic that rivals my own. He is extremely knowledgeable about almost all eras of magic and compliments this with his knowledge of muggle history. Perhaps his only fault is his eccentric view on the Giant Wars as far from seeing the giants as what they are; brutal, uneducated, useless lumps of nothing he believes we should have sent envoys to create an armistice with them. His essay on the rise of the belief of the supremacy of the pure-blooded wizard was most enlightening and informative of his liberal views. To summarise, if Alby refines his judgements and considers the sources in an un-biased manner then he will go far.

Magilinguistics: Professor Languidius Bibble

The course consists of Ancient Atlantean to coincide with the Ancient Runes course, it also focuses on its many derivatives including Babylonian and Olympus. Creature-wise students are taught the many and varied cultures of the centaur and vampire.

Yet again Dumbledore continues to amaze me with his skill in Magilinguistics, he is quick to learn new languages and the etiquette of customs other our own. His ability to distance the two concepts of understanding and acceptance are much to his advantage and I have complete confidence that he will go far in whatever field he wishes to.

Potions: Professor Petra Parsiette

During the sixth year students are introduced to more complicated potions, poisons and antidotes, for their final exam students are each prescribed a powerful poison to which they have to craft their own antidote under controlled conditions.

"To say I was impressed with Albus' progress throughout the year would be an understatement. It is true that I had my doubts when we offered Albus the chance to move on a year ahead. As his Head of House I wanted to make sure that it would no effect him detrimentally, on the contrary he has risen admirably and his place as prefect is well-deserved. In potions he has performed well, he can clearly identify most if not all poisons and brew their antidotes. He has a vast knowledge of ingredients and their properties and clearly spends a lot of his spare time researching his many subjects, in short, well-done Albus.

Transfiguration: Professor Recipricus Swing

In their penultimate academic year students progress to switching spells on larger animals then those that have been previously taught.

Dumbledore has made satisfactory progress in transfiguration though his obsessive attitude to his work is, perhaps, somewhat worrying.
