[On November 10, Tuesday, the seventh year students had their Herbology, Potions, and Charms final examinations, on Wednesday they had their Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration final exams, Harry also had his alchemy final exam, and Hailee has her art final exam. Hermione takes the same five finals but takes her Ghoul Studies final exam as well. Next Tuesday, November 17th, all of the seventh-year students have their N.E.W.T examinations for most of their subjects. They had two hours to complete each exam and had a thirty-minute break starting from eight am. It was 8 to 10 was for DADA, 10:31 to 12:30 pm was for Potions, 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm was for lunch, 1:31 pm to 3:30 pm was for Herbology, and 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm was for Charms. On November 18th the students took their Transfiguration N.E.W.T examinations from 8:00 am to 10:00 am and from 10:31 to 12:30 pm was for their extra class N.E.W.T level examination. For Harry it was Alchemy, for Hailee it was Art, and for Hermione, it was Ghoul Studies. After those examinations, they sign up for any classes that they had to repeat or for their internships]
{In The Great Hall}
<during lunch>
Harry: I cannot believe I have to repeat History of Magic and fucking Divination. I should have dropped divination when I had the chance
Hailee: Well I told you not to take it, but did you listen to me, nooo
Harry: Ah, shut up
(Hailee speaks in a low tone)
Hailee: Do not say shut up to a pregnant woman
(She smacks him across his head)
Harry: Ow, abuse
Hailee: Well deserved
(Hermione giggles)
Hermione: She makes a good point, but anyway Harry, it's only going to be for one semester, and now that I think about it, Professor Trelawney is actually not a fraud
Alex: Excuse me, did I hear you correctly?
Laurie: Yeah, did you just change your mind about Professor Trelawney? You hate divination
Hermione: I don't hate Divination, I just think it's imprecise, and yes Professor Trelawney has flaws in her logic, but just hear me out. She's actually making some spot-on predictions but the thing is that she's very faulty at knowing what she's looking at and that's why most of us think she's daft. Remember when we first took her class and she made a prediction of Neville's grandmother, of Parvati being careful of a red-headed man, and around Easter, one of the students would leave the class forever. The third one is actually true because I left the class around Easter, she just phrased it as if someone was going to die. They're all actually true, though, take Neville's grandmother, there was never anything wrong with her, but think back to Professor Lupin's first class when we first started looking at boggarts. Neville imagined Professor Snape in his grandmother's clothes and I'm guessing Professor Trelawney saw this and thought that it might have been Neville's grandmother and this happened after her class
Hailee: But what about Parvati? She never had a bad encounter with a red-headed man
Hermione: Not her, but Padma had, Professor Trelawney, knew that Parvati had a twin sister but never actually met her in person, and didn't know how she looked like, so she thought Padma had an identical twin. When in reality, Parvati and Padma are fraternal twins, and what happened just a year later? Padma goes with Ron who has red hair to the yule ball and has a really bad time with him
Megan: Ok, so that does match up, but what about what she said to Lav about the thing she fears the most would happen on October the 16th. You denied that theory very easily
Hermione: Yes, that's very true, but now that I think back on it, we had dementors everywhere around the castle and there was fear and worry everywhere. When Sirius was still a wanted man for the crime that he didn't commit, everyone was on edge and everyone had the fear that he would break into Hogwarts and what happened on October 16th, Sirius actually broke in and attacked The Fat Lady
Harry: Alright, Alright, you got those, love, but what about when she told me that I was born in midwinter when in reality both Hailee and I were born in midsummer
Hermione: There's a very easy explanation for that, babe, back then we had no idea what a Horcrux was, so, Professor Trelawney was actually not looking at you, Harry, but she was actually looking at the shred of Voldemort's soul that lived within you. She was right because he was born on December 31st and that's midwinter
(The others had gotten quiet and their eyes widen at Hermione's explanations)
Hailee: Oh God
Harry: Baby, darling, you're messing with my brain, stop it
Hermione: And there are so many more examples, but let's change the topic, what are you guys doing for the next semester. I'm only going to be taking N.E.W.T level Care of Magical Creatures with Hagrid
Luna: Me too
Rolf: So am I
Megan: I'm actually done, I'll be doing an internship studying to be a healer with Madam Pomfrey and St.Mungo's
Susan: I'm done too, I'll be doing an internship with Professor Dumbledore's image for the wizengamot and with Minister Shacklebolt. I'll be traveling using the floo network
Alex: I'll be training with The Montrose Magpies and continue Auror Training
Laurie: Same here
Harry: Me too
Justin: So am I
Hailee: Me three
Ernie: I'm only going to be Auror Training
Hermione: Well you know me, I'm going to be taking class with Hagrid and that's all, I'm actually done rehearsing with the show, so now I get to rest
Hailee: That's great, Mimmy, you deserve a break, you've been working so hard, and while being pregnant
Harry: Are you sure you and the baby feel ok, Mione, I don't want anything to happen to either of you
Hermione: I promise you, babe, everything's ok, the baby and I are good, but it's very sweet that you worry about us
Harry: Of course I do, I love you both
(He kisses her cheek and she nuzzles more into his embrace)
Megan: What I'm wondering is when you're going to tell your parents about the baby, Hermione?
Hermione: Before Christmas
Harry: Yeah, we're going to tell Sirius and her parents together before Christmas arrives
Susan: And when are you and Hailee going to start painting the mural?
Hailee: Right after we come back from the holidays, Harry and I already got a plan
Ernie: What is it?
Harry: Sorry dude, our lips are sealed
Hailee: Yup, we already have a very well thought out plan in our heads
Hermione: And that's not all, I came up with a nice idea for graduation
Luna: What is it, Mimmy?
Hermione: Wouldn't it be nice for all of our class to sing a song and do a dance for graduation?
Hailee: Mimmy, we're not singers or dancers like you
Megan: Yeah, I've never sung in public in my life
Hermione: It'll be a fun project between all of us
Susan: I don't know, Mimmy
Luna: Yeah, I mean you know how graduation gets filled with family members, every student, all of the professors, reporters, and ministry officials
Hermione: Oh c'mon guys, it's a project that will bring all of us together
Ernie: Nah man, I don't sing
Hermione: Harry
[She puts her chin on his shoulder, he looks down at her, Hermione bats her eyelashes at him while pouting, he rolls his eyes, and sighs]
Harry: I'm in, I'll talk to Professor McGonagall
Hermione: Thanks, babe
Gang: Oh c'mon
Hermione: It'll be fun
Gang: Ugh
(The lunch period is over and the gang goes to their common rooms to finish packing for their holiday vacations)
