25 It's tonight!
They have finally passed their exams.
It was sweltering hot, especially in the large classroom where they did their written papers. They had been given special, new quills for the exams, which had been bewitched with an Anti-Cheating spell.
They had practical exams as well. Professor Flitwick called them one by one into his class to see if they could make a pineapple tap-dance across a desk.
Professor McGonagall watched them turn a mouse into a snuffbox — points were given for how pretty the snuffbox was but taken away if it had whiskers.
Snape made them all nervous, breathing down their necks while they tried to remember how to make a Forgetfulness Potion.
Neville thought Harry had a bad case of exam nerves because Harry couldn't sleep, but the truth was that Harry kept being woken by his old nightmare, except that it was now worse than ever because there was a hooded figure dripping blood in it.
Their very last exam was History of Magic. One hour of answering questions about batty old wizards who'd invented self-stirring cauldrons and they'd be free, free for a whole wonderful week until their exam results came out.
When the ghost of Professor Binns told them to put down their quills and roll up their parchment.
Outside, on the sunny grounds, students are relaxing after the last exam of this year.
"It was quite easy I must say," Alexander on the ground comment.
"I needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager," reply Hermione.
"No more study!" says Ron happily.
Free from the exams, Alexander completely relax and slowly fell asleep on the ground.

The Room of Requirement, Alexander is currently floating, slowly going up.
'It's a good feeling, not being restricted by an object is awesome, but it's still not enough'
After staying like this for a few minutes he fell on the ground.
'Well, I'm doing it wrong, it takes too much magic'
He eats some chocolate to feel better.
'It's already late, let's go back and rest' he leaves the room heading toward the common room of Gryffindor.

He just crosses the fat lady when something catches his attention, there is a body on the ground.
He looks closely and gets shocked.
'It's Neville! Then that's mean... It's tonight!'
Without much, though he directly exits the room under the complaint of the Fat Lady and runs toward the forbidden floor.
'Fuck! I forget about that! When I'm training on something, it takes all my attention!'
After a few minutes, he arrives exhausted in front of the door where Fluffy stay.
'No time for subtility!'
He took his wand and enter the room, Fluffy is awake and saw Alexander, ready to attack, but before he could do something spells hit him.
He fell unconscious on the ground. Alexander opens the trap and cast a powerful fire spell in front of him to wipe out the Devil Snare and a floating spell on himself to not make a hard fall on the ground.
