Did anyone bother

alt_padmato wake up Crabbe? Or was he still snoring away at the end of the exam period?
Though to be honest I could do with a nap myself after that last essay. Whose idea was it to put History after lunch? Ugh.
Only, now I have the most horrible feeling that I mixed up something this morning. What did anyone else put down for question five (Levitation Charms)? I can't remember if I said a left-turning wand flick or a sharp right twist and tug motion (which is obviously the right answer, I mean, if I put down A then I must not have had enough tea before the exam). At least I've no doubt that it wasn't D (who would ever have chosen a down-pointing stab to levitate?)!

Or didn't your older relatives ever play that with you when you were little ones? It tended to make Peri laugh so hard we were afraid she might do herself a mischief -- though as she would explain now, that was when she was much younger, all of two years ago. (I shall make this message private lest it get back to her that I have been telling stories about what she is currently referring to as her childhood, from her now advanced age of nine.)
As to History, a leader of the History Club could do that OWL in her sleep, so if you did nap, it's just fine. It really wasn't much of a stretch, that exam. Lack of rigor can of course lead to temptation; I admit to committing some rather cunning Byronic allusions in the essay about the Wizarding actions that influenced certain turning points in British history of the last six centuries. I can't decide whether I hope whoever marks my exam catches them or not.
Tomorrow should be interesting. It's a good thing Professor Dolohov has been working with those of us in the Theoretical section to make certain we can cope with the practical challenges. I'm feeling quite confident, really.
Onward! For Ravenclaw, and for Hogwarts!
