The rest of the year seemed to fly by. O.W.L.S. and every other exam the teachers have seemed to last bloody ages, though. It's like they enjoy watching us suffer.

I trudged to the Great Hall after my potions exam, absolutely drained. We had to brew three different potions. My arm was sore from stirring and my hair was frizzy from all the steam of the cauldrons. I tried to smooth my hair, but a family ginger came up behind me and messed it up.

"There's my favorite potion master!" He cheered, clapping me on the back. Fred had never been the best at potions, but he wasn't bad. He always copied my notes and asked me for help when brewing, er, extracurricular potions.

"Oh shut up. I bet I failed," I mumbled, remembering how I almost over-boiled my wolfsbane potion.

"As if! You're one of Snape's favorite Gryffindors! You actually get good marks! You're sure to get an Outstanding."

"I think I'll be lucky to get Exceeds Expectations," I said glumly. Something was off today. I could feel it. I burst a button on my shirt, I pulled my stockings, and I nearly stabbed my foot with my earring I dropped on the floor. Everything was just a mess.

"Merlin Eden don't be so down in the dumps! Only one more exam today and then we go back to the Burrow!" He shouted, picking me up from behind and spinning me around.

"Put me down Freddie!" I laughed, trying to wriggle out of his grasp. He opened his arms and dropped me unexpectedly. I landed on the floor in a heap and hit the back of his knee so he folded on the ground next to me. I laughed as he fell and he went to tackle me but McGonagall rounded the corner and he quickly helped me up.

"Don't tell me you're going around hurting our star chaser again," she said sternly, wagging her finger at him. I smiled at her as I stood up and she did the same.

"Don't worry Professor. I would never do that... purposely... in public." She chuckled at his extended sentence.

"Hurry up and get to lunch so you don't complain about being hungry during my exam," she said pointedly, staring directly at Fred.

"Aye aye, captain." He saluted and marched off to the Great Hall. I skipped behind him and we sat down next to Lee and George.

"Merlin, McGonagall's O.W.L. is a bitch," Lee groaned, stabbing a piece of shepherds pie.

"What'd she make you do?" Fred interrogated while grabbing the basket of rolls.

"No way in hell am I telling you," he scoffed. "If I fail, you're all failing with me." He stuffed a bite into his mouth, chewing angrily.

"Glad to know I'll be graduating before you guys," I chuckled grabbing a bowl of salad.

Everyone groaned as I heaped my plate full. "Eden... you do know your father isn't here right?" Lee joked, handing me a cupcake.

"I see him tonight! If I don't have the same muscle mass, if not more, he'll be furious! Then I won't spend the summer at the Burrow! Lord knows I can't spend all summer in that house alone."

"Yeah, yeah we get it. You can't go a couple months without your darling boyfriend," George said rolling his eyes. I bonked him on the head with a breadstick, cracking it over his head.

"You see that? That's a hard head right there. Not much in there." I held up the two pieces of the breadstick. He bit the piece in my right hand and I threw them onto his plate.

"Oi! Stop flirtin' with her mate! She's mine," Fred said, protectively wrapping his arm around me.

"I belong to no one, Weasleys. I'm a free woman. And I can beat you up if I really wanted to." I held up a fist and Fred flinched. I laughed and finished my salad as I checked my watch. "Holy fuck, we gotta go Fred! We're gonna be late!" We both quickly said goodbye before sprinting out of the Great Hall and running to the transfiguration classroom. We ran in as soon as McGonagall got up to close the doors.
