The One With The Exams: Part 4

Thursday

Final day of the exams. 

Astraea dread the day to end.

She has been using 'studying' as an excuse to get of nearly everything.

"Want to hang out?" No sorry I have to study.

"Do you have time later?" No sorry I have to study.

"Want to have dinner?" Nop, can't.

"Going to sleep?" No, studying.

Now, she has no excuse, she has to face people and that's the last thing she wanted.

Defense Against The Dark Arts

"Go-ood Mor-orning class", Professor Quirrel greeted. "Yo-you hav-ave an hou-hour to fin-inish. Beg-gin"

Astraea looked at the parchment and saw it was all questions about Vampires and Werewolves. She smirked having full knowledge about werewolves

She started with Vampires though.

'Describe their physical appearances'

'Mmmm sparkly, no joking.... They are usually pale and gaunt with sharp fangs for puncturing the throats of their victims'

'Talk about their diet'

'Vampires have a very strong aversion to Garlic and can be kept at bay by its presence. They drink blood, though they are apparently also able to eat other foods such as pasties.'

'Talk about Vampires in the Wizarding World'

'As Vampires are magical creatures, they therefore live in and are affiliated with the Wizarding World. There exists a Society for the Tolerance of Vampires, which by its given name, must campaign for greater acceptance of vampires and their culture in the magical world, given their seemingly malignant reputation. The wizarding world also set guidelines to prevent exterminating vampires outright'

Once finished, she started with werewolves part writing so fast her hand started to ache.

'What is werewolf?'

'My Godfather... lol no... A werewolf, also known as a lycanthrope, is a human being who, upon the complete rising of the full moon, becomes an uncontrollable, fearsome and deadly wolf. This condition is caused by  infection with lycanthropy, also known as werewolfry. Werewolves appear in the form of a wolf but, there are distinctions between them and regular wolves'

'Does every person bitten becomes a werewolf?'

'No, a mixture  of powdered silver and dittany applied to a fresh bite will seal the wound and allow the victim to live on as a werewolf, although tragic tales are told of knowing victims begging for death rather than becoming werewolves'

'Describe their appearance'

'Werewolves can be easily distinguished from regular wolves by their shorter snout, more human-like eyes, the tufted tail, and their mindless hunting of humans whilst in wolf form. At all other times, they appear as normal humans, although they will age prematurely, and will gain a pallor as the moon approaches and then wanes.

'The real difference between a wolf and a werewolf is in behavior. Genuine wolves are not very aggressive, and the vast number of folk tales representing them as mindless predators are now believed by wizarding authorities to refer to werewolves, not true wolves. A wolf is unlikely to attack a human except under exceptional circumstances. The werewolf, however, targets humans almost exclusively and poses very little danger to any other creature.'

With a smile, she handed the paper over and existed the class.

Divination

"Astraea Black", Professor Trelewany's voice startled her as she entered the class. "I knew you would be the first to arrive"

"You asked for me", she looked at her puzzled.

"Yet some people come late"

"Okay", she smiled at her weirdness.

"Is anyone out there?"

"No"

"Figured"

Astraea nodded her head.

"Is there a reason you asked for me?" Astraea asked.

"I want you to inform everyone that I will quiz them individually, starting with Mr. Weasley", she said glazing into the crystal.

"You do realize there are two Weasleys?" she asked.

"Yes, the first one", she said.

"Okay", Astraea said and left before bursting into laughter.

She went down and saw almost everyone is there.

"Did you finish?" Lee asked her.

"No", she replied. "She sent me here with a message: She will quiz everyone individually starting with Mr. Weasley"

"Me?" both twins asked.

"She said the older one, so Fred, you are up", she said and moved aside to let him pass.

Once Fred came down, he asked George to go up. Then once George came down, he asked Astraea to go up.

"Palm reading", George whispered.

"Didn't she warn you that you will have bad luck if you tell anyone?" she asked

"She also said I will marry the girl I love at the moment, rubbish", he muttered sourly and left

Astraea climbed up the stairs and sat down.

"My dear child", Trelawany said. "this is what's going to happen: I will read your palm and you will read mine"

"Okay", Astraea nodded.

"Give me your palm"

Astraea gave Trelawany her palm and she stared at it intensely.

"Your life line, it shows you have a very strong vitality. Especially, you have a strong resistance to disease and self recovery ability after illness. In addition, you usually can receive additional strength and support from family members", Trelawany said and Astraea scoffed.

'Support from family members my arse', she thought.

"Your head line shows you are responsive, good at thinking and more considerate than others. At the same time, you are easy to think too much and get into a blind alley", Trelawany continued.

"I am amused", Astraea commented

"Let's see your ability is Palmistry", Trelawany said.

Astraea took Trelawany's hand and stared at it.

"You have a short life line here", she traced it with her finger. "which means you are a person of integrity and down to earth but a little timid. Besides, other people can easily influence or control you in life".

She felt Trelawany tense.

"Your head line is Medium", she also traced it with her finger. "which means you are smart and brilliant. Sometimes, you even have a higher ability of doing things than those with a long head line".

"Okay my dear, excellent job"

Astraea exited the class and ran to the Muggle studies.

Muggle Studies

Professor Burbage asked them to write about Muggle Electricity, to which Astraea rolled her eyes and made no effort to exceed expectation in it.

Finally, the exams have finished
