Though he had only filled in two-thirds of his chart, Harry was desperate for the exam to end. When it came at last he, Ron and Hermione forced their telescopes haphazardly back into their holders and dashed back down the spiral staircase. None of the students were going to bed; they were all talking loudly and excitedly at the foot of the stairs about what they had witnessed.'I'm not,' said Harry quickly, and looked down at his Transfiguration notes, attempting to straighten his lace.

'Why don't you just do it yourself?' he said firmly, handing the book back to her, his eyes watering.Hermione's bad mood persisted for most of the weekend, though Harry and Ron found it quite easy to ignore as they spent most of Saturday and Sunday revising for Potions on Monday, the exam which Harry had been looking forward to least - and which he was sure would be the downfall of his ambitions to become an Auror.

'I suppose she cried, did she?' said Harry bitterly.'Journey was fine, journey was fine, we've made it plenty of times before!' she said impatiently.
