Chapter 22: Potions Quiz with Professor Gord

The day of the Potions quiz finally came, Professor Gord said the quiz would be in the vacant classroom in Hogwarts, since no one used it frequently. Everyone was there already and most of them were in Gryffindor and Slytherin house. There's also some students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff too. Guinevere Baroque was there with her seatmate, Moskov Wildsand. They sat in the second row, right side table. On the other hand, Lesley and Granger sat at the middle of first row. Gusion Paxley sat on the right near to Granger's table, with Claude Bullet as his seatmate. In fact, Guinevere was behind Gusion so she can watch her fiance closely. Once Professor Gord came, everyone remained silent since they're noisy when he's not yet there, as Lesley reviewed her annual Book of Potions and her notes in the parchment. Right now, she kept her review materials and waited on Professor Gord to give the quiz.
"We will now start our quiz so keep your review materials it starts.", Gord informed as he got a parchment of quiz copies, his voice sounded like a terror teacher. Everyone followed.

"Are you ready, Les?", Granger asked. "Can I copy you since I didn't study much?"

"Of course I'm ready as I'll ever be. And no! Gord will deduct points if he caught you cheating.", Lesley said. Gusion overheard it, he tried his best not to laugh.

"Well goodluck!", Lunox informed to Lesley and Granger, who sat in the left side of their table and no one sat beside her Granger surprised when she talked.

"Did you get in here suddenly?", Granger asked.

"Nope, I've been here for few minutes.", Lunox said as she kept her golden necklace with mini hourglass in her bag.

After their conversation, Gord immediately distributed the quiz parchment papers with 30 questions about their lesson. Gord told them to have 1 hour to complete the quiz and it's identification and elimination. He also told them if he caught them cheating, their house will deduct points. Lesley chuckled as she informed Granger about this earlier. Granger rolled his eyes as he took his quill on the table and started answering, so as other students

"I hoped you studied well my students.", Gord said.

As the advanced study few days ago, both Lesley and Gusion answered swiftly some questions and they both be very careful to make it sure they answered correct. Guinevere saw Gusion infront of her answered very well, she smiled maliciously and continued to answer hers correctly. She also had an advance study too and she felt very pleased inside since she noticed her fiancé focused on his studies like her.

Granger on the other hand, skipped many questions that he didn't know. He proceed to the tenth question. He scratched his head when he read it clearly.

"How many minutes to return the brew with pewter cauldron? Wha..", He read it softly. He turned his head and looked at all the students being busy with their parchment including Lesley, whose now in number 20. Gord saw him looking the other students.

"Mr. Chanter.", Gord said in the very deep voice. "I caught you looking at the other students.", Granger's heartbeat was going faster.

"I'm n-not cheating Sir..", Granger said, made Gord raised his eyebrow.

"If I caught you cheating, I deduct your house points. Remember that Mr. Chanter.", Gord informed, made Gusion giggled softly. Granger glanced at him then Gusion made a death glare to him, he raised his eyebrows for one second.

"MR. WINDS!", Gord called Vale because he caught him cheating with his quiz by asking the correct answer. "I caught you cheating with your quiz. 10 POINTS DEDUCTED FROM HUFFLEPUFF!"

Because of that, Vale put his head down on the table, feeling ashamed and guilty at the same time. Vale never reviewed everytime there's a quiz. Granger already saw what would happened if he caught him cheating. He decided to keep quiet and try his best to answer his. Most of his answers were just guessing and he hoped that his answers were right. He just reviewed in a minute before the quiz time.
