The next afternoon, the exam results for every subject came out on schedule. To no one's surprise, Jerry topped the list with an outstanding performance and the highest marks. Hermione had done brilliantly too, coming in close behind him.
Harry, Ron, and Neville had also passed their exams with excellent marks.
At dinner, the Gryffindor table buzzed with excitement. Jerry sat with Harry, Ron, and Neville, discussing their plans for the coming summer holiday.
"When are you going to France with Dumbledore, Jerry? Do you need to prepare anything?" Hermione asked quietly. "I hear they have a magic school there too. I wonder how it's different from Hogwarts!"
They were deep in conversation when Jerry felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to find Professor Snape.
Harry and the others now knew the truth about Professor Snape and the misunderstanding between them. Even so, the sight of his gloomy face still made them uneasy. They exchanged glances, and the mood grew tense.
"Professor Snape, did you need something?"
Professor Snape looked rather stern. "Headmaster Dumbledore wants you in the Headmaster's Office now. The password is Sherbet Lemon."
Why does Dumbledore want to see me now? Has he changed his mind? Does he want the Elder Wand back? Jerry wondered.
Despite his doubts, Jerry answered the gloomy-looking Snape politely. "All right, Professor Snape. I'll go to the Headmaster's Office right away."
Jerry said goodbye to Harry and the others, then headed for the Headmaster's Office.
At the door, Jerry knocked lightly. A voice called from inside, "Come in!"
"Why are you here? Wasn't Headmaster Dumbledore the one who wanted to see me?"
Jerry entered the Headmaster's Office and found Gellert Grindelwald sitting alone on the sofa.
"I wanted to see you. How's the Elder Wand treating you?" Grindelwald said
