After spending the week with Victoria, it had been time to return to Hogwarts. After saying good-bye to Vicky on the platform, I had found Hermione on the train. We began to catch up and tell each other about our week. Once we returned, Harry and Ron began telling us about their week. They told us all about Harry's invisibility cloak and how he had used it to try and look in the restricted section before almost being caught by Filch. Harry then told us about Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell before telling us about the Mirror of Erised and what Dumbledore had told him.
The next day, we were back to it. We were currently at lunch. We had just got done with our two morning classes and were studying while we waited till we would go and do our last two classes. While reading the book in front of me, two owls landed on the table next to me. I looked up to see Hedwig and Harper. "Hi, Hedwig." Harry said to his owl.
"Hello, Harper." I greeted before going back to my book.
"Look at you, playing with your cards. Pathetic!" Hermione scolded. I looked up from my book and over at Ron who was playing with his Chocolate Frog cards. "We've got final exams coming up soon." Hermione told him.
"I'm ready. Ask me any question." Ron told her.
"What are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?" I asked.
"I forgot." Ron told me. Harry stifled his laugh.
"And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?" Hermione asked him.
"Copy off you or Emily." Ron told her.
"No you won't." Hermione told him sternly. "Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an Anti-Cheating Spell."
"That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us!" Ron exclaimed. "Dumbledore again!" He groaned, looking down at his card. I went to look down at my book but looked right back up when the whole Hall started laughing. I looked over to the entrance and saw Neville hoping in, his legs locked together. "Leg-Locker Curse?" Ron questioned.
"Malfoy." Harry told him. Neville then hopped his way over to our table.
"You have got to start standing up to people, Neville." Ron told him.
"Especially my cousin." I told him.
"How?" He asked. "I can barely stand at all!"
"I'll do the counter-curse!" Seamus told him, standing up excitedly and grabbing his wand.
"No, that's all I need! You to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!" Neville protested. Seamus threw his wand back onto the table.
"I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cared to notice my eyebrows have completely grown back!" Seamus told us, picking up his wand and getting up to leave while also revealing the bald spot on the back of his head. Hermione and I looked at one another, trying to hold in our laughs.
"I found him!" Harry exclaimed, tapping Ron and showing him one of the Chocolate Frog cards.
"'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945.'" Ron read.
"Go on!" Harry told him.
"'For the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon blood... and his work on alchemy with his partner, Nicolas Flamel!'" Ron finished.
"I knew the name sounded familiar. I read it on the train that day." Harry told us. Hermione and I shared a look before beginning to pack our stuff up.
"Follow us!" Hermione told the boys. The four of us then got up and began to run out of the Great Hall.
"Hey! Wait! Where are you going? What about the counter-curse?!" Neville called after us. I stopped and turned back around.
