As usual at exam time, Gabrielle was not appreciative of time wasting, or of excessive talking. She practically glared at any students who didn't immediately sit down quietly. "No talking, and no looking at each other's work or you will immediately receive a T," she warned, handing out the papers. "If you have a problem, like you are missing a page or you feel sick, quietly raise your hand and wait for me to come to you. If your problem is that you didn't study and you don't know the answers, well, that's your own fault and you're just asking to spend the end of year feast writing lines." She took a seat back at her desk, waving her wand so the instructions and time appeared on the board. "You may begin."

After this week's Taskmaster Australia finishes I'm going on a grading spree and any later you're out of luck. Lessons will remain open until this time so if you'd like to do any last minute lessons now is the time. Any problems with lessons or exams (or if you would like a lower final grade for RP purposes) please PM me before the exams close. Just a reminder that you only need to answer the numbered questions for full marks, the bonus questions have no impact on your grade and are just there for a couple of extra points. Thank you for participating in History of Magic!
