[It is snowy in daytime, Hayley is out in a main courtyard, bundled up, with Hedwig on her arm. She stops and she lifts off, soaring away into the sky. As the time passed when she returns, it is now spring time.]

Hayley smiles sadly at her bird.

Hayley: Hi, Hedwig. [Hedwig has just flown down to the table where Hayley, Ron and Hermione are studying]

Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon.

"You tell him girl!"

Ron: I'm ready! Ask me any question.

Hermione: All right, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?

Ron: I forgot.

People laugh at the irony.

Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?

Ron: Copy off you?

Hermione: No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.

Ron: That's insulting! It's as if they don't trust us! [checks a card, irritated] Dumbledore again!

"Ron, they don't trust us." Hayley breaks it to him, "Every single year we have done something that makes them not want to trust us."

"Oh. Yeah, right." Ron agrees.

[Just then, Neville Longbottom comes hopping into the Great Hall with his legs stuck together as the other students laugh at him.]

Neville blushes of embarrassment while others laugh at him.

Ron: Leg-Locker Curse?

Hayley: Malfoy. [Neville approaches them amidst laughter from the other students]

"I'm innocent! I swear!" Draco pleads.

"No you're not!" Neville says.

Ron: You have got to start standing up to people, Neville.

Neville: [wobbling uncontrollably] How? I can barely stand at all!

Seamus: [jumping up, wand at the ready] I'll do the counter-curse!

Neville: No, that's all I need... you to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!

Seamus: [slamming his wand down angrily] I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back! [He then stalks off angrily, showing a large chunk of hair missing from the back of his head.]

People laugh at Seamus' ability to do magic.

Hayley: I found him! [hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore]

Ron: 'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945–'

Hayley: Go on.

Ron: '-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!'

Hayley: I knew the name sounded familiar. I read it on the train that day.

Hermione: [beaming excitedly] Follow me!

[the Trio tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]

Neville Longbottom: Hey, wait, where are you going? What about the counter-curse?! [before he can say another word he topples over backwards, the other students start laughing.]
