"Harry, you idiot!"

A/n : Heyyyyyyy!! guys, guess who's back back? anyway, if you read (Y/n) then it's (Y/n)'s thought and perspective but if it was Sabrina, then it was Harry's. (this is unedited please point out to me if you see any mistakes thank you!!) Please leave a comment and vote, I would appreciate it.

The next day broke just as leaden and rainy as the day before. (Y/n) would occasionally steal glances at Harry discreetly, but Harry, as though he had eyes in the back of his head or simply sharp senses, would always catch her gaze and respond with a smile, both of them not forgetting what happened the night before, though Harry had sworn to himself he wouldn't. Hagrid was still missing from the staff table during breakfast.

"But on the bright side, no Snape today," said Ron cheerfully.

Hermione let out a wide yawn and poured herself some coffee. She seemed mildly pleased about something, and when Ron inquired what brought her joy, she simply said, "The hats are gone. It appears the house-elves do want their freedom after all."

"Really?" asked (Y/n) with surprise, taking a bite of her toast. Did J.K. Rowling write some of the elves to be free at Hogwarts? But Ron had removed the rubbish on top of the woolly hats the previous night so the house-elves could see what they picked up. It was known that if the master or owner of the house-elves gave them any clothes, it meant they were set free. So, did some of the house-elves wish to be free, just like Dobby?

"Yes," said Hermione brightly, confirming (Y/n)'s curiosity.

"I wouldn't bet on it," Ron told her sharply. "They might not count as clothes. They didn't look anything like hats to me, more like woolly bladders."

(Y/n) fought the urge to laugh because she felt bad for Hermione, who had worked so hard for them. As a result, Hermione didn't speak to Ron all morning, which made Harry breathe a sigh of relief. At least they weren't fighting in front of him.

Double Charms was followed by double Transfiguration. Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall both spent the first fifteen minutes of their lessons lecturing the class on the importance of O.W.L.s.

"What you must remember," said the diminutive Professor Flitwick in his high-pitched voice, perched as ever on a stack of books so he could peer over his desk, "is that these examinations may have a lasting impact on your futures! If you haven't already given serious thought to your careers, now is the time to do so. And in the meantime, I'm afraid we shall be working harder than ever to ensure that you all perform to the best of your abilities!"

(Y/n) couldn't help but think that even fictional characters needed to take their studies seriously. Even within the book, she couldn't escape the pressure of studying.
