Exam Results Day
The Great Hall buzzed like a disturbed beehive.
Owls swooped.
Parchment fluttered.
Whispers spread faster than spellfire.
The results board shimmered—and then locked into place.
For a heartbeat, the hall went silent.
Then—
First Year Results
1st Place — Lucien Aurelius Peverell Lionhardt
No shock.
No debate.
Just quiet acceptance.
Professor Sprout beamed so hard it was almost dangerous.
2nd — Hermione Granger
She read the line three times.
"…Second," she whispered, stunned.
Pride bloomed—followed immediately by determination.
"Next year," she muttered.
Lucien, passing by, smiled knowingly.
3rd — Daphne Greengrass
Elegant. Calm. Perfectly Daphne.
4th — Cassandra Vole
She exhaled slowly, fingers trembling—then smiled.
5th — Draco Malfoy (Evelyn)
Her hands shook.
She stared at her name.
Then tears welled up—not of sadness, but relief.
"I… I did it," she whispered.
Her friends hugged her instantly.
Second Year
Top Performers:
Katie BellClara BellCho Chang
Katie and Clara stared at each other.
"We're tied."
Cho smiled softly, heart racing—not because of the rank, but because Lucien gave her a thumbs-up across the hall.
Third Year
Angelina Johnson — Top Rank
She froze.
Then whooped so loudly even the Ravenclaws jumped.
"YES!"
The Gryffindor table exploded in cheers.
Lucien applauded politely.
Angelina bowed dramatically.
OWLs & NEWTs — Absolute Domination
Penelope Clearwater (OWLs)
10 Subjects — 10 O's
Perfect.
Ravenclaw erupted.
She covered her face, overwhelmed.
Lucien leaned in and whispered,
"Told you."
She laughed through tears.
🦡 Nymphadora Tonks (NEWTs)
10 Subjects — 10 O's
Silence.
Then chaos.
Professors stared.
Students gawked.
Tonks blinked at her parchment.
"…Huh."
Then she grinned.
"Told you I had it."
Lucien met her eyes.
She winked.
Harry Potter
Harry passed.
More than passed—good grades.
Not top.
Not average.
But earned.
He smiled quietly, gripping the parchment.
Lucien ruffled his hair as he passed.
"Proud of you, brother."
Harry beamed.
Ron Weasley — A Category of His Own
Ron unfolded his results.
Squinted.
Turned it sideways.
Then upside down.
"…Harry?"
Harry leaned in.
Hermione followed.
Then everyone froze.
Official Remarks:
Ronald Weasley has demonstrated unprecedented creativity in exam-taking.
While answers were frequently unrelated to the subject—and occasionally written upside down—his confidence was… admirable.
Further academic guidance strongly recommended.
Grades were…
Inconsistent.
Impossible.
Somehow passing.
Ron grinned.
"See? Told you I'd do great."
Lucien read it once.
Then walked away.
He had reached his lifetime limit of disbelief.
Reactions Across Hogwarts
Hufflepuff stood taller than ever.
Their king had delivered. Ravenclaw buzzed with excitement and grudging respect. Gryffindor cheered their victories—and laughed at Ron. Slytherin watched Lucien with new caution… and interest.
At the High Table:
Sprout looked ready to cry with pride. Snape smirked faintly—rare and dangerous. McGonagall pinched the bridge of her nose. Dumbledore smiled quietly, eyes thoughtful.
Lucien hadn't just passed exams.
He had reshaped expectations.
And as the hall slowly settled, one truth became clear to everyone—
This wasn't just the end of first year.
It was the beginning of something much, much bigger.
