Lucius Malfoy and Andreas Waldberg were observing the results of the OWLs and NEWTs and were not surprised that the OWLs and NEWTs were tampered. The mistakes were corrected and the people, who wrote these tests, got their results. For the tampered OWLs, the former students were able to repeat their NEWTs in the ministry and received recompensation and the tampered NEWTs allowed the former students to get the positions they wanted after they received their correct NEWT result.
