Final Exams with an Unexpected Prediction

Harry's euphoria at finally winning the Quidditch Cup only lasted until the Exams were nearly upon them. After that, it was back to work for everyone.

Pettigrew didn't show up the night of the Quidditch Match, but Sirius and Tonks stayed either way as they still had their orders to keep an eye out for the prisoner. But even they couldn't spare the hard struggles of preparing for the exams. Even Fred and George Weasley had been spotted working as they were about to take their O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Levels). Percy was getting ready to take his N.E.W.T.s (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests), the highest qualification Hogwarts offered. As Percy hoped to enter the Ministry of Magic, he needed top grades. He was becoming increasingly edgy and gave very severe punishments to anybody who disturbed the quiet of the common room in the evenings. Only other person who seemed more anxious than Percy was Hermione, but that's because of her fear of failing.

Harry actually hoped for Hermione's sake that the boggart wasn't part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, as Hermione hasn't faced one and he just knew her boggart would have something to due with her fear of failing. One evening, Hermione tore their usual spot apart just looking for her Numerology of Grammatica hoping to study for the Arithmancy Exam.

Fortunately, Harry haven't had to deal with Malfoy since the match as he was often found sulking at the Slytherin Table, during Potions, and even Care of Magical Creatures class.

Exam week began and an unnatural hush fell over the castle. The third years emerged from Transfiguration at lunchtime on Monday, limp and ashen-faced, comparing results and bemoaning the difficulty of the task they had been set, which was turning a teapot into a tortoise. From what he overheard, he and Hermione had the best results, although Hermione insisted that her tortoise looked more like a turtle.

"Mine still had a spout for a tail, what a nightmare…"

"Were tortoises supposed to breath steam?"

"It still had a willow-patterned shell, d'you think that'll count against me?"

Harry pretty sure the last one wouldn't be as affected on scoring as a tortoise breathing steam or having a spout for a tail, but he was glad his turned into a tortoise, even if he could of sworn the shell looked off color for a second before McGonagall told him he was done.

After lunch was the Charms Exam, which included the Cheering Charm. Harry had the charm mastered, but he thought he might of over done it when Ron almost burst out into hysterical laughter for a second.

After Charms, it was back to Gryffindor tower to study.

After dinner, the students hurried back to their common rooms to start studying for Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Astronomy, and in Hermione's case: Study of Ancient Runes.

Hagrid's exam was rather easy—degnoming the area around his hut. Each student were assigned a specific area and were told to get rid of as many Gnomes as they could in one hour. Harry, Ron, and Neville along with many others that often had the house chore of Degnoming gardens were the first ones done before they even realize their areas were cleared. Hermione also did rather well considering this was her second time degnoming a garden.

That afternoon was potions where they had to mix a Confusing Concoction, which was, of course, hard to do as the potion often make students confused as they try to make it. Harry thought he did well enough to pass, even if Snape was standing over him as if expecting him to fail.

Hermione had Study of Ancient Runes and then they spend the rest of the night studying before heading up to the Astronomy tower for there Astronomy exam.

The next exam that morning was History of Magic and with medieval witch hunts. Most students were too tired from the Astronomy exam to remember anything from their classes, so they just scribbled down what they remembered from their summer break assignment before starting their third year.

That afternoon was followed up by Herbology, where students baked in the hot sun, working on magical plants, before heading to the common room to study for the next day.

Defense Against the Dark Arts exam ended up being the most interesting class, as Remus had compired an obstacle course outside in the sun, where they had to wade across deep paddling pool containing grindlylows, cross a series of potholes full of Red Caps, squish their way across a patch of marsh while ignoring misleading directions from hinkypunk, then climb into an old trunk and battle with a new boggart.p

When Harry climbed out of the trunk covered in streamers, Remus congratulated Harry for the job well done. Ron and Neville both had struggled with the Hinkypunk. Ron ended up sinking waist-high into the quagmire, and poor Neville ended up back at the Red Caps' Pot holes five times.

Hermione did well over all until she reached the trunk with the boggart in it. After about a minute inside it, she burst out screaming that Professor McGonagall had failed her in everything.

"We really need to do something about that fear," Ron said as he, Harry, and Neville saw that coming. After all, it was that fear is the reason Hermione often press on them on studying for the exams.

The last exams the four of them broke up as Ron and Neville headed off to Divination, Hermione gone to her Arithmancy, and Harry headed off to Muggles Studies.

In Divination, Ron was the last one tested on Crystal Ball gazing. Divinations room entrance was a trap door with a rope ladder leading up. Students were going to take the class one at a time. Of course Ron didn't see anything in the crystal ball and made a bunch of stuff up.

As Ron was about to leave, there was a loud, harsh voice spoke behind him.

"IT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT."

Ron turned to Professor Trelawney and saw she had gone rigid in her armchair; her eyes were unfocused and her mouth sagging. Her eyes started to roll as she spoke again, in the same harsh voice that wasn't her own:

"THE DARK LORD LIES ALONE AND FRIENDLESS, ABANDONED BY HIS FOLLOWERS. HIS SERVANT HAS BEEN CHAINED THESE TWELVE YEARS. TONIGHT, BEOFRE MIDNIGHT ON THE FULL MOON… THE SERVANT WILL BREAK FREE AS THE WOLF SHALL HOWL AND REJOIN HIS MASTER. THE DARK LORD WILL RISE AGAIN WITH HIS SERVANT'S AID, GREATER, AND MORE TERRIBLE THAN EVER BEFORE. TONIGHT… ON THE WOLF'S HOWL UNDER THE FULL MOON… THE SERVANT… WILL SET OUT… TO REJOIN… HIS MASTER…"

Professor Trelawney's head fell forward onto her chest. Ron didn't dare check on her as he rushed down the steps to find Harry.

…

"You just left her there?" Hermione asked.

"What was I supposed to do?" Ron asked.

"Ron are you sure she said Wolf's Howl Under a Full Moon?" Harry asked with a pale face.

"Yes!" Ron said.

"Harry, you don't think Pettigrew might use your uncle's condition to try something, do you?" Hermione asked.

Harry didn't reply as he grabbed his stuff. "I got to talk to my dad."

"Can't this wait until morning?" Neville asked.

"Neville, tonight is the night of a full moon!" Harry responded. "The last full moon of the semester. If Trelawney is right, Pettigrew might try to use Uncle Moony to somehow bypass the dementors."

Harry headed out with his friends following. Harry decided to use the short cut his dad told him about during his first year to reach the Astronomy Tower since James is most likely preparing for the final Astronomy Exam. But when he reached there, he found Tonks there.

"Tonks, where's dad?" Harry asked.

"Not working tonight," Tonks said. "I'm covering for him on the exams since there isn't any teaching involve. I just have to watch over them and make sure there isn't any teasing."

"Where is he then?" Harry asked, "I got something to tell him that involves Pettigrew."

"What is it?" Tonks asked.

Harry told her about Trelawney's prediction.

"I know Trelawney's predictions are unpredictable, but tonight is the last full moon of the semester," Harry said. "And Pettigrew might of not left Hogwarts for all we know—"

"It's okay, Harry. I trust your instincts," Tonks said. "I'll pass the word onto your dad and uncles. You still have the sneakascope on you, right?"

"Yeah," Harry said. "I been keeping it on me except on days I have Potions and Care of Magical Creatures with Slytherin."

"Good. Keep it on you," Tonks said. "If what you said is true, I doubt Pettigrew will stop with your uncle."

A/N: I want to add that this story might be shorter than the actual book since Hermione doesn't have her time turner, nor do Sirius and Buckbeak need to escape with their lives. As for how many chapters are left, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
