Chapter 8: Results
Breakfast had just ended and he was walking down to Severus’ office. Thankful that Severus didn’t have a class first thing on Thursday’s, Harry wondered what Severus would say about his marks. Shaking his head to clear it, Harry stopped thinking about it. He knew that he did very well and he knew that Severus knew that he didn’t do as well as he could have.
Harry looked up and saw that he was almost at Severus’ office. He took a deep breath and went the last few steps.
Severus looked at the door when he heard the knock. He knew it was Harry. A small part of him couldn’t wait to see Harry’s reaction to his marks. But Severus knew that Harry wouldn’t be surprised. Harry knew he was good and did very well on his tests. If Severus had to admit it, Harry’s marks did surprise him.
Harry knocked on the door and waited for Severus to tell him he could come in.
“Enter.” Came Severus’ deep voice.
Harry had to repress a shiver. He loved that voice. Harry opened the door and walked into the office. He closed the door behind him and went to take the seat in front of Severus’ desk.
Severus watched as Harry moved to sit in the chair across from him. He noticed that he was seeing something that he never saw on Harry before. But what threw him off was why it made him think of Lucius Malfoy. Severus pushed that thought away for later.
“Here are your OWL retest marks. Take a look at how well you did.” Severus said.
Harry took the folded piece of parchment and opened it. His eyes moved over the words and widened very slightly at what he read.

Harry looked up at Severus. He wondered about his Ancient Runes and Arithmancy, because he did not do the practical exams on them.
“What about my Ancient Runes and Arithmancy practical exams? I didn’t do them.” Harry said.
“Its fine, Harry. Those two written exams you took were new and had questions that only someone that knew the subjects would be able to answer. They were written by a master of the two subjects. You answered every question right.” Severus said.
“Who wrote them?” Harry asked.
“I did. The Headmaster had also looked over them, as well as the Professors.” Severus said.
“Wow. I thought those tests were written fairly well. Written better then some.” Harry said.
“Some have no idea how to word questions right.” Severus said.
Harry smiled. “Yes, I agree.”
Severus sat back and looked at Harry. “In all the years I have been a teacher, I have only seen two people show simple intelligence. Most show book smarts and memorizing. But you Harry, show that you have a photographic memory and natural intelligence. The first person I ever saw with OWL marks like yours was a friend of mine who was in the sixth year when I was just starting Hogwarts. Lucius Malfoy.
“The next time I saw marks like Lucius’ was in the beginning of my sixth year. Your mother got the same marks as Lucius and yourself.”
Harry had to hide his reaction, because he had plans to follow. He knew that if he gave Severus the right push, Severus would find out the truth for himself.
“If I got the same marks as Lucius Malfoy did when he was around my age, then that is saying something.” Harry said. “I knew my Mother was smart, but not how smart.”
“Lily was on top of her classes followed by your father, Black and Lupin.” Severus said.
“What about you?” Harry asked.
“I was right after them in most classes and tying with Lily in others.” Severus said.
“What about my classes? I think we should get that done so I can go to my classes and you can go teach.” Harry said.
“Teach a bunch of dunderheads.” Severus said sounding more like his usual self.
Harry smiled. Severus rolled his eyes and pulled out a blank schedule.
“Defence, Potions, Charms, Transfiguration and Herbology are fine. What other classes would you like?”
“Ancient Runes and Arithmancy.” Harry said.
Severus tapped the schedule with his wand and all of Harry’s classes were filled in. Severus handed Harry his schedule.
“Right now you should be in Ancient Runes with Draco. I will write you a note.” Severus said.
“Thank you, sir.” Harry said.
Severus let a small smile grace his lips. He liked it when Harry said sir like that. He made it sound forbidden.
Ten minutes later Harry walked into the Ancient Runes room and up to the professor.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Professor. I have a note from Professor Snape.” Harry said.
Professor Vector took the parchment Harry held out and read it quickly.
“Very well, Mr. Potter. Sit down and get your books out.” Vector said.
Harry turned and saw that there was a seat on Draco’s left that was free. He walked down the aisle and sat down.
“So, you got your OWL marks.” Draco said.
“Yes. I will show you after class. What are we doing, Draco?” Harry asked.
“First we are reading the first chapter in our books and then Professor Vector wrote down some runes on the board we have to translate.” Draco said.
“Oh, that’s good. I already read the book.” Harry said.
Draco looked at Harry, to see that Harry was writing out the runes from the board.
“You read the book already?” Draco said.
“Yes. It only took me a day. You’re going to like chapter seventeen, Draco.” Harry said.
“You can’t have read the whole book in a day.” Hermione said from two seats ahead and three over from Draco.
“Yes, I can. I finished reading the potions textbook in half a day, but then that and Defence have always been my best subjects.” Harry said.
“Oh, come on. Everyone knows that you are terrible at potions.” Hermione said.
Harry smirked. “Then tell me, Granger, what potion calls for wormwood, moonstone and rose water?”
“None.” Hermione said.
Harry laughed. “I think you should read chapter twenty-seven again if you think that. Now, if you don’t mind, there are people in this class that would like to get their work done.”
“Miss. Granger, I am taking five points from you for disrupting my class.” Professor Vector said.
“But he started it, Professor.” Hermione said.
“Make that ten and if you say one more thing, it will be a detention.”
Hermione huffed and looked back down at her book. Harry looked at Draco and smirked. Draco smirked back.
“I want you to read chapter two and three and translate the runes in both chapters.” Professor Vector said. “To be handed in next class.”
Only two people didn’t groan in the whole class. Harry and Hermione. Harry was smiling though.
“Great, that will only take me twenty minutes to finish.” Harry said.
“Then you can help me.” Draco said.
Harry laughed. “Draco, you don’t need my help. You know these as well as I do.”
“What makes you say that?” Draco asked.
“Because, if you are anything like your father, you would have gotten his smarts. I know for a fact that your mother only has her looks going for her and you know that is true.” Harry said.
“Okay, maybe I don’t need your help. What were your marks?” Draco asked.
Harry pulled out his OWL results and gave the parchment to Draco. Harry watched as Draco read it.
“This is almost exactly like my father’s.” Draco said.
“Actually it’s the same.” Harry said.
Draco looked at Harry. “You really are a Slytherin. How could you pretend to get bad marks when you are this smart?”
Harry smiled. “That, Draco, is a secret.”
Draco scowled. “Fine. Let’s see your schedule.”
Harry gave it to Draco and put his OWL results back into his bag.
“We have the same schedule.” Draco said.
Harry smiled. “So we don’t have a class right now. What about Blaise?”
“He will be in the common room. He doesn’t have any classes this morning.” Draco said.
“Then I think we shall go join him.” Harry said.
Draco smirked. “You have something planed.”
“Of course I do. Let’s go, you can help me.” Harry said.
Draco gave Harry a smirk and they started off down the hall.
