Later that week, the Gryffindors ended their day with transfiguration. Despite the fate of the world hanging in the balance literally and politically, Hermione still found time to worry about her NEWTs. She was grateful for professor McGonagall who was strictly through and had even given them a talk in their very first session of the career opportunities that awaited them after getting NEWTs in her subject. Hermione had been performing exceptionally as usual so when the Professor asked stay a bit after class, she was more curious than worried. Once the students had left, McGonagall shut the doors of the classroom and a red magical wave passed around the classroom.
