Exam Results

Despite of everything that happened, there were still exams to look foreword to. Yay me. I pulled through it though. Thank God. It wasn't very difficult either. I finished it in 2 seconds.

It was the last week of school when we got our results back. Professor Flitwick handed them out. He gave me mine. One potions question wrong. That was it. There were no more mistakes on my test.

"How did you do that?" asked Giovanna. She got a few questions wrong in everything but on average, she was alright.

"I don't know," I shook my head. I looked back at the results. There was a note attached that said to see Professor Flitwick in his office after breakfast. So after that I did. I knocked on the door.

"Come in," he said. I walked into his office and saw him Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore in there.

"Miss Rookworth, we have very good news for you," Professor Dumbledore announced.

"You have proved to be a diligent student," Professor Flitwick started, "always on top of things. A hard worker, "

"The best work I have ever seen comes from you," Professor McGonagall added, "not to mention all the second year work you have submitted for extra credit,"

"Your exam results shocked the entire staff," Flitwick continued, "and after discussing it, we have come down to a very important decision,"

"What would that be?" I asked.
"You will start next year not as a second year student, but a third year student," Professor Dumbledore said. My mouth dropped open. Me? Third year? This could not be real.

"Congratulations," Professor Dumbledore said.

"Thank you so much!" I replied. All my hard work did get me somewhere: that somewhere was 3rd year. One year closer to getting out of school. One year closer to being with George for good.

"You may leave," Professor Dumbledore said. I nodded.

"Thank you!" I said again. I ran back to the Ravenclaw table.

"Look who's all excited," Ron said, turning around.

"What's the occasion?" Harry asked.

"I've skipped a year," I announced proudly. Ron gaped at me.

"Sorry?' he asked.

"I'm in 3rd year next year," I answered, "Dumbledore just told me,"

"But you're a 1st year," Ron said.

"I know,"

"No one has ever done that before," Hermione said, "well done Karina!"

"Thanks Hermione!" I exclaimed and went back to the table.

"What the celebration?" Katerina asked.

"I'm going to be a 3rd year next year!" I explained.

"What?"
"I skipped,"

"Congratulations!" Katerina said, hugging me.

"Yes, good job!" Anna said. Giovanna looked a bit sad.

"You'll be moving into the 3rd year dorm," she said.

"Yeah. But we can still be friends,"

"I'll have no one to talk to in charms," she muttered.

"Don't worry," I said, "you're my best friend here, no matter what happenes,"

"Thanks Karina," she said, grinning at me.
