I have a post... For once.
The begining of the end begins now. That's confused me, so enough small chat. Heres the post.

The week had passed and it was time for the exams. On the night before the exams started, a note was attached to the Gryffindor board revealing the times of the exams. Even though these weren’t the official N.E.W.T.s, they were the last test where the students would be able to find out their weakness. First up Monday morning was Defence of the Dark Arts. The students were asked to arrive at the classroom as usual only bringing their wand.


One by one as their names were called they stepped in they saw an obstacle course. First up was a tub of water with red caps and other beasts of water. They had to stun the creatures and would get 10 points for each creature successfully stunned. After the water tub they had to go stop a flying ball rather like a bludger from hitting them, with their wands. Once they did this they could take a small breath, or that is what it looked like. When the students sat down at a table, a boggart would jump out and transform into their fears. Ron unsuspectingly sat down and jumped up as the table was covered with a large spider. He froze for a split second and then pulled his wand out and said “stupefy” at the spider. Even though he had successfully stunned the boggart, he lost five points because he didn’t handle the situation properly. After a moment of telling Quarterman that he had dealt with the boggart as he would with a real spider he was given his five points. He then had to walk through something resembling a shrub which attacked him. He used “Reducto” to destroy the vines, enabling him to reach the finish. When he did, he went into a room where the other teacher, Professor Sawyer had a collection of magazines to read through. One quidditch magazine caught Ronald’s eye. After all it was bright orange and had Chudley Cannons written all over it.

The exam took around two hours for everyone to complete, and most people felt that they had done rather well. Harry and Ron had an hour spare whilst Hermione had to go to another exam, so they went back to the common room.

It was empty as they walked in so they took the two nearest seats near the fire.

“So this spider, it was massive jumped at me. I stunned it but Quarterman didn’t let me get the marks at first. I had to tell him that if I did see a spider I would do that and then he let me have them. Improper way of dealing with a boggart, well I’m not going to know if it’s a boggart, am I?”
Harry chuckled and didn’t want to tell Ron about how he had his wand in his hand and destroyed the dementor before it got a chance to look at him. Smiling to himself, everything went black.

“Hagger!” Grawp screamed as four death eaters had their wand pointed at him.
“Be quiet you foul beast, tell us what we need to know and you shall die quickly.” A cold voice said. It emerged from the body of a tall man with silver hair.
“Hagrid!” Grawp shouted clearly. “Hagrid, Reid.” He continued calling his brother and cousin hoping that they would hear him from the forest.

With that Harry jumped up suddenly. His scar was stinging and he knew what was happening.
