Hey guys! I am back from Greece! I didn't tan but, trip over in 4 inch heels and almost broke my left wrist (from the way I almost fell on it), I bruised and grazed my right knee, grazed my left elbow, bruise my jaw-bone near my chin and I have no pride or dignity left and my ego is squashed.
On lighter news... I've deleted the old "A/N" chapter and gave you Ginny's. Remember, Ginny is a smart girl best-friends with Muggle-born Bookworm Hermione Granger. Yet, she only gets an "E". As always, explained at the bottom...

Well done Ginny! Please do not doodle a sketch of you and Mr Potter on your exams. You got 23/28 (answers wrong:11, last part 16, last part 19, 1/2 20).
As I said before, well done.

One of Arthur Weasley's children had to mention rubber ducks.
On the washing machine drawing, it was based roughly on my cousin. When she was dating her (now ex-)boyfriend, she was doodling somethings like Ginny's in her GCSE exam. She was really love-struck back then.
She, of course, failed it, broke up with her boyfriend (he was moving to Liverpool or somewhere and long-distance is never a good thing) re-did her exam and passed!
That was a good couple of years ago though and she told me about the doodles and, though she doesn't seem it, Ginny's love-struck about Harry. Ron's test results up tomorrow!
