Chapter 766: N.E.W.T. Exams
Kyle had been secretly watching Kanna ever since the Quidditch final, worried that she might agree to go with him but secretly resent it.
For two weeks, however, Kanna had behaved completely normally, as if nothing had happened. She showed no signs of reluctance or hidden frustration, so Kyle gradually let his guard down and refocused on preparing for what was to come.
It was a normal evening in mid-June. Everyone was gathered in the Great Hall, eating dinner and discussing their holiday plans.
Suddenly, the doors swung open from the outside, and several elderly wizards entered, laughing as they walked alongside Dumbledore.
Leading them was Professor Griselda Marchbanks, followed by Professor Tofty and a few other familiar faces.
Anyone who had taken their O.W.L.s before knew exactly who they were and what their arrival at Hogwarts meant.
Final exams.
"Why is it so early this year?" Ron, sitting at the Gryffindor table, ran his hands through his hair in disbelief. "Aren’t the exams supposed to be next week? Or have I lost a whole week of my life?"
Harry was standing there, mouth slightly open.
He hadn’t even finished reviewing all the material yet... Well, to be more accurate, he hadn’t even started. So why were the exams suddenly here?
"You haven’t lost anything," Hermione said suddenly. "They’re here for the N.E.W.T. exams."
