The Wizarding World

11: Norbert

[It is snowy in daytime, Harry is out in a main courtyard, bundled up, with Hedwig on his arm. He stops and she lifts off, soaring away into the sky. As the time passed when she returns, it is now spring time.]

Harry: Hi, Hedwig.
Hedwig has just flown down to the table where Harry, Ron, Y/N and Hermoine are studying

Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon.

Ron: I'm ready! Ask me any question.

Hermione: All right, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?

Ron: ...I forgot.

Y/N: Lethe River Water, mistletoe berries, and Valerian sprigs.

Y/N says nonchalant.

Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?

Ron: Copy off you?

Hermione: No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.

Ron: That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us!

Y/N: Or its because you're an idiot.

Just then, Neville Longbottom comes hopping into the Great Hall with his legs stuck together as the other students laugh at him.

Ron: Leg-Locker Curse?

Harry: Malfoy.

Neville approaches them amidst laughter from the other students

Ron: You have got to start standing up to people, Neville.

Neville: [wobbling uncontrollably] How? I can barely stand at all

!Seamus: [jumping up, wand at the ready] I'll do the counter-curse!Neville

Longbottom: No, that's all I need... you to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!

Seamus: [slamming his wand down angrily] I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back!

Y/N: I give it 20 minutes before you blow your eyebrows and your hair off.

Seamus then stalks off angrily, showing a large chunk of hair missing from the back of his head.

Y/N: Nevermind it seems you already have.

Harry: I found him! [hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore]

Ron: 'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark" Wizard Grindelwald in 1945-'Harry: Go on.Ron: '-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!'

Y/N: You remember that but can't remember simple ingredients to a potion

Harry: I knew the name sounded familiar. I read it on the train that day.

Hermione: [beaming excitedly] Follow me![the four first year tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]

Neville Longbottom: Hey, wait, where are you going? What about the counter-curse?! [before he can say another word he topples over backwards, the other students start laughing.]
