Tom Riddle Era: Faline Potter

Sixth Year Exams

Teresa's POV

"Urgh" I groan banging my head on the table.

"What's wrong?" Tom asks me concerned.

"I don't remember sixth year being this hard, I past it last time. Why can't I seem to concentrate this time?" I whine.

"You are thinking to hard, you past apparition on the first go" he reminds me.

"Yes, but that was luck" I tell him.

"No, it was your natural talent for magic. Just like you teaching me to become an animagus" he states. "Now I understand Transfiguration even more along with alchemy" he adds.

"We even need to do a test for and I didn't do that last time" I groan.

"Relax, clear your mind" he says holding his face in between his hands. Looking into my eyes. "You can do this, I have faith in you" he tells me. "Just as you have faith in me" he states.

"Thank you Tom" I say relaxing and he pecks me on the lips.

"Now we're taking a break, you've had us studying for the past month. I think we are both prepared for the exams. So no more studying, just relaxing the rest of today and tomorrow. Before exams start" he tells me.

"You sure?" I ask.

"Yes, now what do you want to do?" he asks me.

"I'm hungry" I tell him. So we pack up and leave the library heading for the kitchen. We eat and go to the black lake to relax. Looking up at the clouds, making shapes and animals appear.

(Potions practical exam)

It's time for our potions practical exam, our second to last practical exam. But we still have three theory exams tomorrow. Charms, DADA and Alchemy. We're going in groups of five for our practical exams. But first we're going in singularly. "Ah Miss Potter, welcome" Professor Slughorn says.

"So what do I have to do professor?" I ask him.

"Right now I wish you to identify these potions and figure out which ones are missing an ingredient. And what the missing ingredient is" he tells me. I look at the four potions and think hard about what I have studied.

"First is Polyjuice potion, it's missing lacewing flies and the piece of the person the drinker wishes to turn into. Next is Amortentia and it is not missing a thing. The third is Felix Felicis and it's missing its incantation felixempra. The last is Veritaserum" I answer.

"Good, now wait at your desk while I get the other four" he instructs. I go to my desk and notice a vial on it. He gets the other four and they each go to their desk. I give Tom a smile and he smiles back. "You each have a vial of poison on your desk, using Golpalott's third law. You must all create an antidote for the poison in front of you. Each of you have a different poison, so no cheating" he tells us. "You have two hours starting now" he says flipping a giant hour glass.

(Two hours later)

I put my antidote in a vial, praying I did it correctly. I label it with my name. Professor Slughorn takes each vial. "These shall be tested by ministry examiners, then graded. You're dismissed" he tells us. We left and I go revise for alchemy.

"I thought we agreed no more studying" Tom says wrapping his arms around me.

"I'm revising" I tell him.

"Same thing" he says and kisses me neck.

"I just want to be prepared for alchemy, want to help?" I ask him.

"Sure" he says sitting down opposite me. He takes the books and we take turns answering questions. Before it was dinner time and we went to the great hall.

(Final exam)

It's time for our final exam Charms. I feel a lot more relaxed after doing my alchemy theory exam. I know I past DADA with flying colours. We all take our seats for the exam. The ministry official tells us the rules and procedure for it. He turned the hour glass and the exam started.

I read over the twenty questions and the essay question. I then start to write answers, making sure to read the questions carefully. I finish the exam with twenty minutes to spare. So I just relax and go over my answers to make sure they are correct and there's nothing I wish to add.

"Quills down!" the examiner calls and the others lay them down. He summons the papers to him. "You are all free to go, enjoy the rest of your year" he tells us. Tom comes over to me and we head to the lake with his friends. Honestly I didn't care they were suppose to be death eaters, that is over now. We all relax enjoying the sun.

"So glad that's over" Paul states stretching.

"Same" Richard agrees.

"Now we can all relax" Tom states.

"I love the sound of that" I tell him smiling.

"Get a room" John whines and we roll our ours. Corban and Harold join us. "How did your exam go?" he asks them.

"Fine" Harold says.

"Glad we finish this year" Corban states.

"You both going into the ministry?" Tom asks.

"Yes" they answer.

"Department of law enforcement" Corban says.

"Department of International Magical Cooperation" Harold adds.

"Good" Tom says nodding his head. "Richard you'll be a future school governor, John magical transportation department and Paul Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures" he states.  They nod their heads.

"Now can we get back to relaxing?" I ask them.

"I like that idea" John states. So we all relax until dinner. I then go sit at my house table while they go to their own. Only a few days left of school, then I'll complete my sixth year.
