21. Langlock

Sitting at the Gyffindor table for lunch Harry, Ron and Hermione began to scoop food onto their plates.

Flipping open her planner, Hermione began to talk rapidly about their upcoming NEWT exams. As Harry and Ron continued to eat, Hermione listed off the order of the exams they would be taking.

“We all have Herbology, Charms, Transfiguration and Defense against the Dark Arts. But I also have Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. It’s not fair you two will have more time to study.”

Harry almost chocked on his food thinking that he and Ron would ever study more the Hermione.

As Hermione started to map out a study schedule for each of them, Harry noticed Ron roll his eyes.

“Can we please talk about something else,” Ron muttered.

“Absolutely not! We must not procrastinate,” Hermione stated before continuously talking about the study schedules.

From under the table Ron had pointed his wand at Hermione, “Langlock,” he muttered, and Hermione was unable to talk. Harry tried to muffle his laugh but he couldn’t do it.

After undoing the spell, Hermione became progressively angrier at Ron and Harry for not taking the exams seriously.
