    ... those two, but in the end, it was the two roommates battling for the winning spot. They were all talking about the exam as they headed up for lunch. Daphne, Hermione, and Ron congratulated their friends on making it further than they had, and complimented some of the more impressive moves they had made. Hermione had been disappointed to be beaten out by Daphne in the third round, and Ron had lost to Theo Nott in the same round. Daphne had been taken out by Susan in the next round. They met up with Ginny and Luna at lunch, and were relieved to hear that the two fifth years were feeling good about their test. After a hearty meal, Harry and the sixth years left for their Charms exam, while the fifth years mingled in a side room off the Entrance Hall to wait for their name to be called to take the practical exam.

Harry and the other sixth years had had a trying week as well, sitting most of their exams in that week. They would finish up by the next Tuesday, and have the rest of the week to relax, or in some cases, finish up private projects. Harry and Daphne were planning on spending most of the latter part of the week completing their batch of Veritaserum. They considered the idea of bringing the finished product to Snape, to make sure they had done it right, but weren't sure how he'd react, especially since they weren't planning on doing anything legal with the potion. By the end of the second week, Ginny was ready to collapse. She didn't think her brain had ever gotten such a workout before in her life. Harry just chuckled and gave her a kiss, congratulating her on her completion of fifth year in one piece. Ginny glared. "I don't remember you being this exhausted last year," she commented. Harry shrugged. "Believe me, I was. I think I was just so relieved it was over." Ron nodded eagerly. "Just think about ...
