Y/n's POV
My hands are shaking. My leg is bouncing. My foot is tapping. My fingers are shakily twisting my rings. I'm biting my lips. My heart is pounding. My palms are sweaty.
Today is the day. The first day of our first OWLs week. I'm freaking out, I've shut everyone out the past week again and studied. I might have taken an hour total off studying this past week.
Today we're taking our Charms exams. First we have to demonstrate some Charms and then we have to take a long ass written exam on it. I'm so nervous, I've never been so nervous in my life.
The other day professor McGonagall found me having a panic attack in a girls bathroom, she talked to me and I told her that all the stress from our OWLs is really getting to me. She took me to Madame Pomfrey and she gave me a calming draught to lower my anxiety I was getting. Every day I go to Madame Pomfrey and get my daily dose of the calming draught, I wish it lasted longer because I always find myself craving more.
The sounds of my foot tapping filled the halls lightly along with some other students quietly talking to one another about random -non exam related- things. How can they be talking to each other right now?
The fifth years are all waiting outside the great hall right now. Our names have been getting called one by one to do our demonstration part of the exam. I'm right next to Kayden right now, we're supposed to stay with people with the same first letter of our last name, since I go by Y/n Walker now I'm with the other students whos last name begins with W.
"Y/n," Kayden whispered,
"-The Silencing Charm was a charm that rendered the victim temporarily mute. Working on both beasts and beings, it was immensely difficult to perform, more so on ravens than frogs. If performed incorrectly, the target would swell up to an immense size and begin making deafening sounds." I whispered to myself, reciting what I've been memorizing, at this point I've almost memorized all my text books. I feel like Hermione. I don't really like it.
"Y/n," Kayden said again, this time a bit louder and more firm,
"Many general human Transfiguration spells existed, this category housed the following type of Transformation magic as well Animagus: a wizard that elected to turn into an animal, Metamorphmagus: the rare ability to change physical appearance at will, and Werewolves: they however had no choice." I recited everything I remembered,
"Y/n." This time Kayden shook my shoulder,
"What?" I hissed,
"You need to calm down, you're gonna over study and then you wont remember anything when the time comes to take the actual exam," Kayden said using his usual nice voice. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes.
"You're right, you're right, I'm just super nervous," I groaned and put my head my hands. We're both sitting on the floor with our backs against the wall,
"Let's talk about something non OWL related, it'll help,"
"Okay," I leaned my head against the wall, "How are you and Pansy?" He smiled and his e/c eyes lit up behind his glasses,
"I'm glad you asked, I was gonna tell you the other day when it happened but you were studying and I didn't want to bother you," he started, "Well, we're together now, officially, we've been going out for a couple months before that and about a week ago I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend and she said yes,"
"Kayden, that's amazing, I'm so happy for you guys," I said,
"Thank you," across the hall was Draco sitting next to some random fifth years, he had his nose in a book, a journal actually, he wasn't writing though...he was drawing. I wondered what he was drawing.
