N.E.W.T.s

To my fellow classmates,

I say, here we go.

This week shall test our mettle in a number of ways. The measure of our success lies not only in how well we bear up under the trials of our examinations, but how well we are able to set aside all the turmoil of the recent days to focus on the job at hand.

There's not a person among us who is not vastly affected by our losses, the betrayals we have suffered, the ways in which our thoughts about the world as we know it have been challenged.

Let us not dishonour the memory of all who have sacrificed, but rather do our level best, so that we may not disappoint them, or let their sacrifices be in vain.

We are all wizards, and in this, we are all equals. Prove that this week.

Courage, mes amis, et bonchance.

You must have been intercepted by someone who needed you to help them with their hair or clean some stain out of their shirt or some such. (You know what I was missing last night? Being able to warm up my bed before I get into it. It's May, it's not even that cold out, but ugh, cold sheets are the worst.)

Ron's here. He said most of his Charms practical was straight out of Auror training but THEN they gave him a charm that's actually a rather complex household charm you use to properly clean a rug. Like from your floor. Not an everyday charm for that, but the one you'd use if you'd hauled your rug outside and really wanted to blow loose every last bit of debris from it.

He knew it cold, of course. As IF one of Mrs Weasley's children wouldn't know every possible cleaning charm.

He thinks he got nearly everything right on the written, even if he quit writing long before the two of us did.
