"We're gonna get 'Mione back!
"All those times we were in that bathroom, and she was just three toilets away," said Ron bitterly at breakfast the next day to Harry and Liliana who had just finished sharing their theory on Myrtle, "and we could've asked her, and now . . ."
It had been hard enough trying to look for spiders. Escaping their teachers long enough to sneak into a girl's bathroom, the girls' bathroom, moreover right next to the first attack, was going to be almost impossible, even if they did have Liliana as an excuse to go there.
But something happened in their first lesson, Transfiguration, that drove the Chamber of Secrets out of their minds for the first time in weeks. Ten minutes into the class, Professor McGonagall told them that their exams would start on the first of June, one week from today.
"Exam?" howled Seamus Finnigan. "We're still getting exams?"
There was a loud bang behind Harry as Neville Longbottom's wand slipped, vanishing one of the legs on his desk. Professor McGonagall restored it with a wave of her own wand, and turned, frowning to Seamus.
"The whole point of keeping school open at this time is for you to receive your education," she said sternly. "The exams will therefore take place as usual, and I trust you are all studying hard."
Studying hard! It had never occurred to Harry that there would be exams with the castle in this state. There was a great deal of muttering around the room, which made Professor McGonagall scowl even more darkly.
"Professor Dumbledore's instructions were to keep the school running as normally as possible," she said. "And that, I need hardly point out, means finding out how much you have learned this year."
Harry looked down at the pair of white rabbits he was supposed to be turning into slippers. What had he learned so far this year? He couldn't seem to think of anything that would be useful in the exam. He figured he could just ask Liliana if he really needed too.
Ron and Liliana looked as though they'd just been told they had to go and live in the Forbidden Forest, both had separate reasons for this of course.
"And imagine! I haven't even studied, I completely forgot too. Oh, am I going to fail," said Liliana, her face looked like a mixture of worry and despair.
"Can you imagine me taking exams with this?" Ron asked Harry and Liliana, holding up his wand, which had just started whistling loudly. "I think you'll be fine Lils."

Three days before their first exam, Professor McGonagall made another announcement at breakfast.
"I have good news," she said, and the Great Hall, instead of falling silent, erupted.
"Dumbledore's coming back!" several people yelled joyfully.
