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

"Timeskip."

Iris: Hi, Hedwig. [Hedwig has just flown down to the table where Iris, Aries, Ron 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: Alright, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?

Ron: I forgot.

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

Ron: Copy off you?

[Aries snorts]

The Hall has a similar reaction.

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! [checks a card, irritated] Dumbledore again!

"We don't trust you for this exact reason, Mr. Weasley."

[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?

Iris: Malfoy. [Neville approaches them amidst laughter from the other students]

"Draco... No," Luna said.

Narcissa shook her head at Draco.

Aries: Of course it's him.

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

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

Laughing.

Seamus: [jumping up, wand at the ready] I'll do the countercurse!

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!

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

More laughing.

Iris: I found him! [hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore. Aries leans forward]

Ron: "Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark" Wizard Grindelwald in 1945-"

Iris: Go on.

Ron: "-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!"

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

"Dumbledore worked with Nicolas Flamel?"

Hermione: [beaming excitedly] Follow me!

[the Trio tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]

Neville Longbottom: Hey! Wait! Where are you going? What about the countercurse?

[Before he can say another word, he topples over backwards and then falls to the ground. The other students start laughing. Iris comes back]
