PART FOUR
N.E.W.T.s

" y/n's point of view "

I SAT AT the kitchen table for lunch with Fred and George in early July, anxiously chewing the nail on my thumb.

Angelina had told me she had gotten her N.E.W.T.s results that morning, and I had been waiting for my owl ever since.

"Y/N, it might not even come today." George said as he took a bite of his sandwich. "Who knows?"

"You saw what Angie said, she got hers today. I bet Harry and the others got their O.W.L results, too." I sighed.

"Why don't you come down to the shop with us for a bit?" Fred suggested. "Take your mind off things and hopefully when we come back up, it'll be here."

So after lunch I followed the twins downstairs.

"What if I failed?" I said.

"Doubt it." Fred scoffed. "You were studying all year."

"What if there was something wrong with my exams and they can't give me my results?"

"Nah, that didn't happen." Said George as he started neatening a shelf of Skiving Snackboxes. "You'd know."

"You'll have your results by the end of tonight, I'm calling it." Fred said and he took away the 'gone for lunch' sign from the front window.

I sighed, but sat down behind the front counter.

"You know, if I do get the right amount of N.E.W.T.s, you'll actually have to hire someone to work the register." I pointed out to them as people were already wandering into the store.

Diagon Alley had been becoming shadier and shadier recently, especially with the break-ins and kidnappings, which were most recently Florean Fortescue, who ran the ice cream place, and Mr. Ollivander, the man who everyone for the last several decades had bought their wands from.

The store had filled with a decent number of customers when Angelina walked in.

I spotted her from across the store as I was serving a customer, and my face lit up.

"Have a nice day." I put on a smile, handing the boy in front of me his paper bag as Angelina hurried over.

"Y/N!" She was smiling widely and I left my spot behind the counter to hug her.

"Angie!" I was smiling too as she wrapped her arms around me in a hug.

"Wow, this place is amazing." She said, still smiling as she looked around the shop. "Those twins have really outdone themselves this time."

"Aw, Angelina, you'll make us blush." George said as he and Fred both approached us.

"Hi, George." She greeted him with a smile.
