That Damn Weasley Charm II G.W

Part 3, Chapter 29- Last-Minute Studying

Next thing anyone knew it was nearly exam time. Which meant spending every spare second any of us had in the library quizzing each other on the material and making sure everyone understood everything we were talking about.

"I don't even know what exams we have first." Lee groans. He shuffles a bunch of parchment around looking for his exam schedule.

"Monday we have Charms in the morning and Care of Magical Creatures in the afternoon. You sure you understand all the material for those?" Walter says looking at his boyfriend.

"And what day is it today?" Fred says through a yawn. His nose is smudged with ink and his eyes red from a little mental breakdown he had nearly ten minutes ago.

"Uhhh... I dunno." Emma grumbles. She's managed to stack all her textbooks along with a few library books so that she can lean her cheek on it without compromising her posture too much.

"It's Sunday. Nearly dinner time too." I say looking at my watch. I tap it with my finger a few times for added effect.

"You know... you could just decide to stop your studies after fifth year. As long as you have good enough OWLs." George points out. He stretches his arms in the air and makes a face. His elbow is still sore after the quidditch match where he decided it would be a good idea to fight someone.

"Right because Molly would let you two drop out of Hogwarts after fifth year." I say.

Fred and George both shrug and say, "just a thought." At the same time which makes everyone else laugh really hard. In the time that I've knows George and Fred, I've noticed that while they talk to each other in half finished sentences, they only really end up saying the same thing at the same time if they are both extremely tired.

"The Chimaera is a blood thirsty beast with a lions head, goats body... and a... damn it!" Walter grumbles

"And a dragons tail. Come on love you got this." Lee says. He shuffles his parchment and finds the notes he took on the Chimaera in class. "See, looks like something that shouldn't exist. It lays eggs too which is even more freaky than its build."

"And its classified as X.X.X.X.X very lethal and extremely dangerous." Fred adds.

George grabs my textbook from me and flips through the pages, "And you can't trade its eggs right? Ministry orders?"

I nod a million times, "Yeah that sounds right... Uhm only one of them beens killed that we know of... god what was his name..."

"We don't know his name I don't think. All we know is that he died of exhaustion after he killed it." I say. I snatch my textbook back from George and kiss him on the cheek as a thanks. "And a true chimaera is just any two or more of anything merged together into one beast but its usually the lion, goat, and dragon. Sometimes it even has different heads. It can also breathe fire but apparently if it has three heads then only the goat head can breathe fire."

Everyone looks at me. I slowly move my eyes from my notes to everyone else, "In Greek mythology, the Chimaera is the daughter of two gods that I can't seem to remember the name of. And it was killed by the son of Poseidon. But only actually killed by one real person."

"You're like scary smart." Fred says.

George puts his arm around my shoulders, "Tell me again why you're even studying? I mean I think you have everything down to memory."

I shrug, "It's not that hard to remember... is it?" Everyone looks at me. Then Emma laughs, then everyone else laughs and soon we are being yelled at by Madam Pince for the seventh time this week. The good thing is that she can't kick us out of the library because we are studying for our OWLs.
