From Slytherin to Gryffindor adventure Awaits!

Exams Exams Exams!

Harry was only in the hospital wing for a day. While Aria had to be there for three days. Hermione was kind enough to bring her all of her books and let her use her notes to study for the exams. Celeste was staying by Aria's side worried not wanting to leave her side. Aria was bored in the hospital wing. Since she had her books this would be a good opportunity to practice. She had nothing better to do exams started on Monday. Aria got a match from her bag and set it in front of her. Grabbing her wand off of the end table she tapped the match three time.

'Turn into a needle' she thought. She knew it would.

Aria blinked she was surprised in front of her was a needle, instead of a match. Picking it up carefully she was examining it having a huge smile on her face. She started to giggle. Looking around Aria saw there was a muffin on the table.

Everyone had their exams on different days of the week. For Aria she had Charms, Potions, and Astronomy on Monday. Tuesday was Transfiguration and History of Magic. Lastly Wednesday was Muggle Studies and Herbology. There was a note when she got her schedule for her final exams stating that for her Charms and Transfiguration exams would be one on one so no students would get injured. Aria just stuffed the note in her pocket rolling her eyes slightly as she looked at her wand smirking. Wishing she could take her exam with everyone else to show off a little.

Monday morning Aria got up early going to take a quick show and got dressed. Having charms this morning. Aria skipped breakfast to go practice more of her charm spells. Walking over to the field seeing she was alone. Taking out multiple items from her bag setting them in front of her. From a feather, small rock, to a pineapple. Knowing they had to have a pineapple to dance across the desk. Aria started from the simplest spells working her way up. Not having a way to tell what time it was Aria panicked. Quickly packing up all of her things Aria ran towards the Charm classroom. Professor Flitwick was standing outside waiting.

"I'm SOO sorry." Aria spoke in between breaths trying to catch her breath.

"It is quite alright miss Lacroix. Now are you ready?" He looked at her raising his eyebrows.

Aria smiled and nodded.

"Of course Professor"

Walking inside the classroom Aria saw that Professor Flitwick desk was cleared and that the only thing there was a pineapple.

"Alright, whenever you are ready miss Lacroix"

Aria pulled out her wand looking at it smiling a bit. She has been practicing all morning so she knew, she could do this. Taking a deep breath. Pointing her wand at the pineapple she had a small smirk on her face.

"Tarantallegra!"

The pineapple on the desk got up and started to dance across Professor Flitwicks desk and Arias wand was guiding it! Professor Flitwick started to clap and was very happy.

"oh ho ho very well done Miss Lacroix! You have improved greatly! Exceeds Expectations!" he cheered.

"Thank you sir! oh look at the time. May I go?"

"oh yes yes of course! what class do you have next?"

"Potions."

"Alright i'll escort you to explain to Professor Snape why you are late"

"thank you very much"

Professor Flitwick escorted Aria to her potions class. Thank Merlin he did because if he didn't Professor Snape might have not let her take the exam.

"Sorry Professor Snape Miss Lacroix was with me taking her final exam"

Snape just looked at Aria before looking away.

"Take your seat Miss Lacroix, the instructions are on the board" He sneered.

"Thank you again Professor Flitwick" Aria smiled.

Aria looked up at the board seeing she had to create a Forgetfulness Potion with no instructions. Going up to the supply closet Aria gathered the ingredients she needed. Lethe River Water, Valerian Sprigs, Mistletoe berries. She already had the standard ingredient in her bag as she pulled it out setting it on the table. Thank goodness for Hermione and her notes. Without them she probably wouldn't have been able to make it properly.

Aria was on the last couple of steps to finish up the potion. Aria was crushing up the mistletoe berries into a fine powder. Looking at the potion she waited a second before adding two pinches of the powder. Taking a second she remembered Hermione's notes iit said to stir the potion five times anticlockwise.

'one two three four and five. That should be everything' Aria thought stirring anticlockwise

Glancing around the room she saw students were on different steps. Others looked confused not knowing what to do. Aria exhaled as she got a small bottle putting the contents in the bottle. Lastly walking up to Snape's desk setting the bottle there. After cleaning everything Aria gathered her things since she was allowed to go.

Her last final for the day would'nt be until tonight so Aria was able to relax. Is what she would like to do. Hermione said otherwise, dragging everyone to the Library having an intense study session. Aria felt like her head would explode if she memorized anything else.

"Too much. Information." Aria groaned as she laid her head on the desk.

"I'm. going to the Astronomy tower early." Aria said quickly as she hurried and grabbed her things before Hermione could said otherwise.

The Astronomy final was easier than she thought. Just name a majority of the constellations then show where they are located at. This was one of the exams Aria knew she probably got all of the questions correct.

Tuesday morning Aria was waiting outside of the Transfiguration classroom. Having to wait until everyone else was done and left. Ten minutes later the last student left and Aria walked inside.

"Your exam is to turn a mouse into a snuff box Miss Lacroix"

There was a small mouse sitting on a desk, Professor McGonagall was standing beside it. Aria walked over it. Pulling out her wand then looking at the mouse. It took her a second to remember what a snuff box looked like. Lifting her wand up then tapped the mouse three times. A blue light came from her wand and went around the mouse.

'snuff box' Aria thought.

The mouse then transformed into a silver snuffbox with a small design around the sides and top.

McGonagall's lips twitch as she had a small smile on her face.

"Nicely done Miss Lacroix. With no whiskers as well. Learn how to control that wand of yours?"

"Yes professor, I learned a few things that helped me greatly" Aria smiled

"Good. Now you are done. You may leave"

"Thank you Professor" Aria smiled slightly as she turned around leaving the classroom.

Pulling out a piece of paper Aria was reading the contents. History of Magic was next, hurrying to her class. She wasn't late but she rather get there a little early. Aria went into the classroom and found a desk near the back. Once she is finished she will leave and go get a quick bite than sleep. Hermione and her study sessions gave her such a headache. Once the written exam started, Aria got a few things mixed up. She sighed to herself looking at the questions, some of the information was jumbled up in her mind. Answering the last question Aria turned in the paper up front and left. One last stop. Getting something to eat. Then sleep, only two more exams!

Aria woke up the next morning ready to get these last two exams out of the way! Aria looked over her notes for a second. Grabbing her bag Aria went straight to her muggle studies class skipping breakfast. Her last two exams were a breeze they were just written exams. The only difference when she took Herbology. There were different kinds of plants she just had to name them and say what they do. After her last exam Aria spend the rest of the day with the group getting some much needed rest.
