VIII. Blissful
Daphne hadn't felt so completely blissful in a long time. She had finished her OWLs without killing someone, ruining her hair or turning up to an exam without her makeup done perfectly. She was quite certain she'd passed everything (with the possible exception of Astronomy, but who really cared about getting an OWL in Astronomy?) and now she had until September to relax.
She was sitting by the lake, wondering whose cruel idea it had been to make them sit their exams in the middle of summer and rejoicing in the fact that she was now free. The weather was nice and calm and she could hear the first years panicking about whether they'd have to repeat a year (how could anyone ever have failed first year exams? They were so easy!) The only thing that could have made her even happier was if Blaise were there with her.
That was when she caught sight of Blaise with Lisa Turpin and her good mood died immediately. Bliss only comes from ignorance after all.
She was going to kill him.
