Chapter Thirty One
O.W.L.S
Still working on chapters 24, 25, 26, 28 and 29.
This one is possibly the most hypocritical since ‘The Centuar and the Sneak’, I’m pleased to report!

She's a good sport playing Seeker the year Keeper suddenly becomes capable of winning the game.
Any thoughts on whether Lupin did or not? I’m going to go with ‘no’, personally
Perhaps he forgot?:-D (He was distracted by Sirius giving him a blowjob just as he was going to call Snape. Then they had to discuss what the two of them were getting Harry as a joint after-OWLS present.)
So, rehashed predictions: Full marks in DADA and Potions, E in Transfigurations and Care of Magical Creatures, Acceptable/E in Charms and Herbology, and bad marks in Astronomy and History of Magic.
Maybe he'll get full marks in CoMC too to show everyone what a great teacher Hagrid is.
Professor Marchbanks seemed to be a little deaf; she was answering Professor Umbridge very loudly considering they were only a foot apart.
*Is furious.* Don't be so naive! CLEARLY she's being racist by only pretending not to be able to hear her!!
Anyway, Marchbanks gives me an Aunt Marge vibe, I don’t really know why. I guess the impatient shouting and bluster.
Err...anyone else beginning to think she and Neville's gran are more than friends? Suddenly I'm picturing them like two longtime companions in tweed who fell in love after The Great War.
Not to mention, her doing the ‘OMG, famous Harry Potter?’ bit would have been the *ahem* contrast to the ‘It’s not what you know, it’s who!’ bit.
Heh--yeah, that would set us straight. It's not what you know or who you know, it's who you are!
Mazel tov! Aw.
<3<3<3 Dear Diary--think my OWLS went okay, only Harry Potter walked in during my charms exam and I totally dropped the glass I was levitating! I was SOOOOO embarassed OMG!>:-000
Not that Harry notices that kind of thing. Except, you know, when he does. Which is all the time.
This is the second time I can think of when Malfoy has caused an unsupressable grin...I'm thinking of when Snape couldn't hide his smile in CoS. What would people do without Malfoy? He's a constant source of smiles and laughter!
I’m also so glad that Harry’s happiness has been confirmed as being caused directly by other’s suffering, as opposed to earlier, when it was Ron and Hermione. You’ve come a long way, baby, backwards.
*snerk* And people worry Snape couldn't produce a Patronus? How about picturing Harry kicked out of Hogwarts on his arse? EXPECTO PATRONUM!
Why’s Umbridge smirking? Because she’s planning to fire Hagrid, I presume - does she know how much he and Harry wuv each other, then?
Yes, why is she smiling? Would she know how much Harry wuvved Hagrid? It's not like she could be firing him to spite Harry--she's firing him strictly because he's a half-human.
Apparently, if you care about the Trio, there’s all kinds of subtext and discussion to be had over this line, partnership, defence and their various meanings, but I’m afraid I don’t.
Oh. Personally, I found myself thinking more how I don't believe Hermione got anything wrong on her test. They've already made such a point of her knowing everything and getting 112% on her tests I don't see why there's anything she wouldn't know. I didn't believe Harry beat her in DADA exams either, superpowers or not. Beating Hermione on a test is like the Spinal Tap amplifier going up to 11.
Nobody was foolish enough to snap back, so she was unable to vent her spleen on any of them and was reduced to telling off some first-years for giggling too loudly in the common room.
Nobody snapped back but I'm sure half the room flipped her the bird behind her back.

And you say you won't write fanfic! ;)
That was probably better than about 90% off ff.net, depressingly. You missed out a reference to R/S's hand-fasting ceremony, though.

Mr. Longbottom's not around anymore, after all...
I don't know, but I always got that vibe from McGonagall, personally.
And people worry Snape couldn't produce a Patronus?
Why do people worry about this? Snape hasn't suffered nearly as much as Harry, who has more problems than anyone else ever, and Harry can do it. Of course, Snape isn't as naturally talented, I assume...
How about picturing Harry kicked out of Hogwarts on his arse? EXPECTO PATRONUM!
Imagine if Snape's or Malfoy's Patronus memory was something like that. Ninety-page essays on 'OMG that is so irredeemable, they have no SOUL!11', I imagine.
Yes, why is she smiling? Would she know how much Harry wuvved Hagrid?
I don't recall them ever interacting together much in front of her. It was in the paper in GoF that they're friends, though. Maybe the IS told her?
It's not like she could be firing him to spite Harry--she's firing him strictly because he's a half-human.
It's all about Harry. Umbridge would totally fire every teacher in the school if it affected Harry even a little bit, because he's that important.
They've already made such a point of her knowing everything and getting 112% on her tests I don't see why there's anything she wouldn't know.
I guess it could be a cunning double-bluff. 'Hermione'll be fine!' *cue gasps as Hermione gets an E and kills herself from shame, and there's a long description about how it was all due to nerves, unlike those ordinary thickoes who are just inferior intellectually.* But yeah, I doubt it.
I didn't believe Harry beat her in DADA exams either, superpowers or not. Beating Hermione on a test is like the Spinal Tap amplifier going up to 11.
But...it's HARRY! Harry's the best there ever was at DADA! If anyone beats Harry at that, even Hermione, then the terrorists win! Even Voldemort's not as good at it as Harry! Even Dumbledore! Merlin himself would tremble at Harry's incredible prowess! *insert fifty more sentences on 'OMG, no-one's achieved such a high result in several centuries!'*
I'm sure half the room flipped her the bird behind her back.
I would have laughed openly at that, I'm afraid. Which is one of the reasons I'm so glad the Potterverse is fictional, unlike most. I'd end up hexed unconscious in a garbage bin somewhere every other week.
*Is furious.* Don't be so naive! CLEARLY she's being racist by only pretending not to be able to hear her!!
Hee! I guess because I'm so honourable, I just expect everyone else to be!
Maybe he'll get full marks in CoMC too to show everyone what a great teacher Hagrid is.
That would be wonderful! If there's one thing these novels need more of, it's reasons for Hagrid and Harry to recieve attention and encouragement in their behaviour!
This is the second time I can think of when Malfoy has caused an unsuppressable grin...Snape couldn't hide his smile in CoS. What would people do without Malfoy? He's a constant source of smiles and laughter!
It'd be a more boring series, that's for sure! ;)
