Chapter fourteen: I swear I'll kiss you anywhere
Weeks went by and things between Colin and I patched up. I told him what happened between Harry and me, how I yelled at him and told him to leave me alone. Colin also apologized to me for what he said. "To tell you the truth I probably wouldn't be able to leave you." Him saying that to me made me the happiest girl in the world.
Finally the final exams had arrived. Day one: Transfiguration in the morning, Charms in the afternoon. Day two: Charms practical in the morning, Astronomy at midnight. Day three: Transfiguration practical in the morning, then a break. The days went on like that, not to mention the major studying in between all the tests. Finally though, the last exam had arrived: History of Magic.
"Don't worry Colin, you'll do fine," I said to him as we entered the Great hall.
"Yeah, let's just hope," he said in reply.
Sitting down in desks that now crowded the usual dining hall I watched Colin, who sat a few rows ahead, very closely. Professor McGonagall handed out the papers and quills since Professor Binns is a ghost who just never gave up. Reaching the front of the room again she looked around the room, placed her hand on a large timer and flipped it saying, "Begin." I looked down at my paper and read the first question. A soft sigh escaped my lips and I smiled. When did the battle of side end and why? I glanced at the back of Colin's head as I remembered that day under the weeping willow. Looking down at my paper I began to write: The Battle of sides ended in 1739.
Three grueling hours later Colin and I trudged out of the Great Hall, me with confidence, Colin with exasperation. Outside we went under the weeping willow tree where Colin once again held me close.
"How do you think you did?" I asked.
"Eh…okay."
"Were you surprised at the first question?"
"Yes," he smiled and kissed me, "but I just thought of you and I knew the answer."
A/N: I know what you're probably thinking. I've read through so many chapters reading about this test and all she gives me is something a little longer then a paragraph! I apologize. I couldn't really think of anything to write on it. Cheers!
