THE NEXT DAY, she told Daphne every detail about that night. First she got a good long lecture on how she shouldn't do stupid stuff like this, but when she told her about the centaur's predictions, Daphne got concerned. She told Cassi that she should forget all those stuff, as it was rubbish, and that she is definitely going to live till hundred. And that made Cassi laugh. In the next few days, Cassi forgot about it anyway and was again her normal cheery self.

But Harry got anxious more than her and spilled it to Ron and Hermione. Both immediately denied the possibility of those predictions, as none of them believes it. And that got Harry rid of his tension.

Now, Cassi was seeing her three Gryffindor friends less and less, other than studying. She didn't minded it at all, she got her Slytherin friends to accompany her. She did see Hermione in the library and both would study together. Daphne who wasn't able to put up with the study schedule of Cassi, studied with Blaise.

"I can't believe it!" Hermione slams her book on the table, making Harry, Ron and Cassi jump. The three were studying History of magic together. 

"What can't you believe?" Cassi asked, looking utterly baffled at Hermione.

"There's only a month left before final exams, and I still haven't revised one!" Hermione exclaims. "I can't believe it!"

The three gave her odd looks, before Ron said to Cassi, "She's mental, I swear." Cassi chuckled and hopefully Hermione hadn't heard the comment.

Cassi studied Herbology from Neville, who was more that glad to help her. Everyone was busy studying and finding empty seats in the library was now a difficult job.

Exams did arrive and everyone was on their nerves.

"Are you alright, Harry?" Cassi asked Harry, who looked pale. They were now standing in front of Great hall, their examinations only a few minutes away.

"I think I'm going to fail." He said his nerves high.

"Oh, don't talk rubbish." said Cassi trying to soothe Harry. "I think you'll do great."

"I have faced Voldemort once and I'm afraid of my exams." He said sarcastically. "What could possibly be more wrong with me?"

And then Harry realized his mistake. Ron, who was beside him, his eyes widened. They hadn't told Cassi, their discoveries of philosopher stone and Voldemort. But much to their confusion, Cassi laughed.

"Harry, you faced him when you were just a baby." Cassi said thinking he was trying to talk about when Voldemort tried to kill him when he was only one year old. "You possibly can't be serious to compare that situation to your exams."
