You woke up the next day with a blanket on top of you. Remembering the events of the night before, you scowled and tossed the blanket off of your form.

Before leaving to go take your N.E.W.Ts, you changed into clean robes and put on your boots.

Another day, another test to ace!

With a spring in your step, you made your way back to Hogwarts in time for breakfast.

Sitting next to Bosco at the front of the table, just to see if Snape was annoyed, you grabbed a piece of toast and started to spread butter on it.

"Morning!" You exclaimed with a grin on your face.

"Someone is cheerful today." Asher remarked from across the table.

"We didn't see you after dinner last night, what happened?" Bosco asked.

"Oh, no worries, I stayed at my house last night, checking in on a couple of things."

"Alright then."

You quickly finished breakfast and left to go take your N.E.W.Ts in the library.

Once you arrived, you sat down at an empty section of a table and Dumbledore wished everyone luck before the tests appeared and you started answering the questions.

~an hour and a half later~

Finishing your last exam, you turned them in. The Professor told you that you could do whatever until the day was over since the rest of the time for your group was for test taking.

You strolled outside and sat on the nearest bench with a sigh.

Will there ever be a day I learn something I don't already know...?

Similar thoughts went through your mind until they were interrupted by Snapes voice.

"Finished already Miss (l/n)?"

"Yes, sir, I came out here to have some time to myself until lunch."

"Meet me in my office after classes are over. It is not a question, it's an order." He turned and left.

Odd... I don't think I've done anything wrong...

After several hours had passed, all the classes had been taught for the day and everyone was leaving, give or take the Professors and Dumbledore.

You walked down the stairs to the dungeons quietly and knocked on the potions room door.

"In. Now." You heard Snape hiss from inside.

Quickly, you entered and shut the door. "You wanted to see me, sir?"

Cautiously walking towards the front of the room, he stopped you.

"Since you clearly outsmart the other students, I want to see if you know something that older students are learning." He paused. "Do you know how to summon a patronus?" He asked.

Hesitating, you answered "I do, you think of your happiest memory and use the spell expecto petronum, correct?"

"Yes, now, do you mind demonstrating for me since you feel you are experienced enough?"

Pulling out your wand, you gulped, you'd tried many times at home with no success, how were you going to conjure one now?

Without thinking, you waved your wand in the air "Expecto Petronum!" When nothing happened, the potions master sauntered over to you.

"Can't do everything, now can you, (l/n)?"

"Was this all you wanted to do? Prove a point!!" You snapped, he was wasting your valuable time just to try and make a fool of you!
