They had their Herbology exam on Wednesday (other than a small bite from a Fanged Geranium, Hermione felt she had done reasonably well); and then, on Thursday, Defence Against the Dark Arts. Here Hermione knew that every Slytherin had passed easily. She had no problem with any of the written questions and took particular pleasure, during the practical examination, in performing all the counter-jinxes and defensive spells right in front of Umbridge, who was watching coolly from near the doors into the Entrance Hall.
