First Years Lesson Five

Professor Adler was sitting on the edge of her desk while she waited for the students to arrive. It would be a relatively easy lesson today. Or at least it would be for those that had been paying attention during the other lessons. Those who hadn't taken notes may have found it harder. ''We're going to be practising for the exam today, so there's no need to take out your wands,'' It wouldn't be ideal for some students, but it was still an important part of their education. ''Once you've completed the test, hand it in to me and then you can leave. Next week we'll be heading down to the duelling chamber so you will need your wands then!'' Geo grinned, hoping it would make up for the fact that this week it wouldn't be quite as exciting. They'd make up for that fact later. Slipping into her seat behind her desk, Geo expected them to focus on their work and not start chatting amongst themselves. Even if exams and tests weren't the most fun, they were still important to take seriously.

[Freddie Lagowski]

Freddie skimmed over the page, tapping his chin with his pen. He could probably answer all of these. Did he really have to write a whole paragraph, though? And who was Gormlaith Gaunt? Oh, yeah - Professor Adler did say something about her. Freddie had been so distracted by Lord Voldemort's face that he hadn't taken any notes for ages, and by the time he'd caught up, they'd already moved on to Gellert Grindelwald. Maybe he should look up Gormlaith in the library. Well, he only had a one-in-three chance of getting her in the exam... He could probably risk it. Uncapping his pen, he started to write.
