Chapter 67 - The OWL Exams

As the school year came closer to the end, the fifth years became more stressed as the OWL and Newt drew closer. Something Harry took advantage of as he helped many females relieve their stress. Well, until the time for the exams arrived.

Now sitting in the testing hall for Charms with Daphne and Kaite sitting on either side of him. The three of them scribbled furiously on the sheets in front of them. Hovering not far from them, an old lady slowly paced around the room on her cane but her eyes kept drifting back to them.

She was Griselda Marchbanks who had spent a large majority of her life as an Wizarding Examinations Authority. It is said she was on the board when Dumbledore himself was a student and took the exams.

So over her long career she had seen a few taking the exam early, sadly most received a lower score than they could have had if they waited. However, it was the student choice and they even received permission from most of their professors. In the end she allowed them in and now was curious on how they were going to do.

At the speed she saw their quills moving, either they were well prepared or were guessing. She hopes it was the first option as it would waste both hers and their times otherwise.

While the exams were taking place, up in the Headmaster Office, Dumbledore was frowning at the latest news that he just received. It would appear that Peter Pettigrew had escaped from prison. As for where the man is now is currently unknown much like when he escaped exactly.

"Harry is not going to be pleased. It also means that Voldermort is going to begin gathering his forces." Dumbledore hummed to himself sadly. The wizarding world already had enough death and destruction last time around.

'However this was already in some of our future plans. Since time wants certain points to happen, both of us figured this might happen.' Dumbledore thought as he tapped his finger. 'I will tell him after his exams are done. No sense in worrying him or distracting him as no major move will be made for a while.'

Back down in the exam hall, the written portion came to an end with either most sighing in relief or worried they did bad. However, this didn't last long as the practical exam was about to begin. As most were told to leave the room until they were called. A few cursed their names being first in line.

"How did you do Harry?" Daphne asked.

"It seemed a bit easier than I thought." Harry replied truthfully. It was actually easier this time around than last time. Maybe it was because he wasn't stressing out about Voldermort being back or a year of the entire wizarding world making fun of him.

"Say you two. I thought it was pretty difficult, but it couldn't compare to our study sessions." Katie complained.

'Well, since we are basically attempting to shove all the knowledge up to the NEWT down your throat. I would assume that this was easier.' Harry thought but chose not to comment on that part.

"I don't know about you two, but I could use a Harry massage." Daphne stretched out her arms.

"Is that what we are calling it now." Harry joked.

"I could use one too." Katie said as her eyes glossed over for a moment.

"Katie, you literally had one a few hours ago." Daphne asked, a bit tensed. While she didn't mind Katie, the nympho tendencies could get on her nerves at times.

"That was a few hours ago and this is now." Katie tilted her head. "At least I am better than Susan."

"Not by much." Daphne muttered.

Ever since Susan picked Harry out as a mate and her 'fated one'. It wasn't uncommon to find the said girl hanging around him. Luckily, it seemed like a in the moment thing as she soon became normal on the most part. She just seems to find Harry throughout the day to get a quick fix or just to hang out with him.

"That reminds me. Are we going to use the same method we did last summer?" Harry asked.

Rolling her eyes at him, Daphne answered it. "I don't see why not. Only a couple of them hooked up with someone. So besides them, I assume most will be fine with the arrangement."

"Oh, can I join more. I don't think my family is planning anything this summer. So I should be free most of the summer." Katie begged. "Those limited visits last year were hard."

"Fine." Daphne said as she pulled out her black book. "Let me see. I'm sure that most of the bond mates won't mind switching or moving some of the dates around. So Katie, Fleur and Susan can have their Harry fill."

"Ah, don't forget about Venelana. I have been exchanging a few letters throughout the year and she agreed for a couple dates during the summer." Harry pointed out.

"Do you think she could be a bond?" Katie asked.

Harry just shrugged as he didn't know, but wouldn't be surprised either way. She is afterall is a Lovegood. A family that is known for doing things their own way, stange or not.

"Katie, you're up." an older girl walked up to the trio as she left the testing room.

"Let's get this over with." Katie strolled into the room confidently.

A while later she walked out looking exhausted but wore a smile as Daphne walked in.

"So how was it?" Harry asked.

"Tricky, but I believe I got this."

After a while it was finally Harry's turn. Stolling into the exam room, he waited to begin.

"Mr. Potter you may begin."

Nodding, Harry began casting a wide variety of charms, some of even his own creation. Most were sixth or seventh year spells which earned him a few extra points. By the end, Harry stood in front of a couple shocked wizards and witches.

"Mr. Potter, I haven't seen such a display since Albus was standing there." Griselda Marchbanks said with a hint of praise.

Nodding and leaving the room, Harry just smiled as he was sure he had Charms in the bag.

'Now onto the other exams.' Harry thought.

By the end of the two week exams, Harry had shocked the examiners alongside Daphne and Katie. Mainly due to their skills and their ages, which also brought them to a close on their school year.
