Although everyone was looking forward to the teachers versus first years match, the inevitable nightmare of every student's career stood in their way – the end of year exams. Neville was driving Percy crazy every time he spotted him walking in the corridors with a tornado of notes flourishing around him. Neville just considered him jealous after an incident earlier that week when Penelope asked him a Charms questions.

" Neville! How many times have I told you magic is prohibited in the corridors!" Percy fumed uselessly as Neville did not even flick an eye on him, reading an example question from a note that just flew past and needed to think up of an answer before the paper made its orbit about him.

" Damn it! When were the self-stirring cauldrons invented again?" Neville might not have problems with Charms and Transfiguration, but the only other subject he was sure of was Potions since he no longer needed to avoid Snape's overbearing stare as much as he used to.

" Neville! Are you listening to me at all? There are other ways to study and answer questions without showing off – I mean, without using magic here. I am your prefect and if you do not stop I'll have to send you to Professor McGonagall!"

" Neville! There you are." Neville understood what a dog felt like when it heard its dinner bell at that moment.

" W-Why – Penelope! I must say, you look as charming today as ever." Percy, thinking he just got some reinforcements, turned back to the paper hurricane. " We, together as prefects, must stop Neville at once. Magic should not be used –"

" Neville can you teach me that charm? It's like I can give myself pop quizzes without asking others for help – and I won't be tempted to cheat." Letting slip a short giggle, she continued, " Oh, but can you answer some questions about Charms for me? I have that next and I can't find Flitwick."
