Oh my goodness, is that them? Is that the examiners?? Professors Tofty (or is it Toffee?) and Marchbanks have arrived, and when it comes to O.W.L.s (more commonly known as owls) it’s not really what you know, it’s who you know. From Ernie averaging eight hours of studying a day to Hermione forgetting the definition of ehwaz, everyone is going to be glad when exams are finally over. However, as exams start to wind down, the real drama begins ramping up! Umbridge stoops to new lows, attacking Hagrid in the dead of night, and Voldemort finally acts on his master plan to invade Harry’s mind. All things considered, he really is quite considerate with his timing of the vision, as he could have planted it during Harry’s very first exam and sabotaged Harry’s chances of passing his O.W.L.s at all!

I understand the construct of Quidditch surprisingly well considering how awful I am at sports.
I love the idea of Hagrid bopping to the Monster Mash.
I guess we all felt like wizards taking their O.W.L.s when we knew the answers too. I would have failed History of Magic, haha.
I’m glad that Harry is actually good at potions. It plays nicely in the next book even if Harry is cheating.
I remember Harry and Ron feeling guilty over not continueing with Care of Magical Creatures post O.W.L.s in the next book.
Apparently there’s nothing in the rules that bans Legilimency during an exam.
I’m very happy with your choice of Real Weirdos.
