Finished the Movie. It Was Okay, Nothing Special

Honestly, a year really did go by fast.

Easter came around again in the blink of an eye, which meant exams were drawing near.

Hermione had finished reading the original novel for the second installment. When she was done, she sat on the common room sofa and let out a long breath:

"Thank goodness our final exams won't be canceled now."

At the other end of the common room, Ron, whose fans were affectionately and concernedly-affectionately concernedly, for short-holding his head down and making him study, whipped around in horror. Was that even something a person would say? He would rather have his finals canceled now.

"I suppose that's Hermione for you..." Harry was gloomily revising History of Magic.

To be fair, Professor Binns's History of Magic classes really did make people sleepy. It was one of the few classes that united all the houses-because practically everyone was catching up on sleep.

Meanwhile, in the group chat.

[Admin] Yan: Great, Ron's revising, and so am I.

[Admin] Yan: Ron's a wizard, so that makes me a wizard!

Magpie: ? Yay!

Bug Ming: I've finally seen a real Potions assignment in my lifetime. Great, now I have material for my writing.

Harry's Godmother: Helping Harry study is a lot like teaching my bratty little brother math back in the day...

Mirror of Erised: Hahahahahaha

James-Brand Shampoo: (shocked.jpg)

Proprietress Number Two: Every day feels like a fucking dream now~ Hehehe... (tears streaming from the corners of my mouth.jpg)

George's Mirror of Erised: Um, Teacher Two, wipe your mouth.

George's Mirror of Erised: Fred said he's going to send us prank sweets! (happy.jpg)

Proprietress Number Two: If they can actually be delivered, I'm definitely giving one to my bestie first!

Bug Ming: Bestie: 6

The Twins' Runaway Fiancée: ? Did your bestie steal your pants? What did she do to deserve that? (scared.jpg)

Proprietress Number Two: ?

Proprietress Number Two: (bewildered.jpg)

The Civil Affairs Bureau Running Everywhere: Speaking of which, will Lockhart still lose his memory without the diary?

Stepmother Literature: ?

Slytherin Potions Teaching Assistant: /thinking

Draco in My Left Hand, Harry Potter in My Right: Holy crap, good point!

Remy, I Love You!: Holy shit, you've spotted something important.

Bug Ming: ...Given the curse on that position, surely he won't still be here next year... right?

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: ?!

Zabini: Does that idiot have to teach us for another year?

My Older Brother Is Farting: ? What kind of hellish joke is that, bro?

Tianting Healed by George: Hahaha, you scared the kids into coming online.

Mrs. Zhabini: Wait, I think I spotted a Blaise in there!

Ron's Rat: So, @What's Wrong with Eating More? How are little Ronny's Potions grades?

Ron's phone vibrated. He put down his quill and opened it to take a look. "..." Then he quickly closed it and covered his head with his parchment.

When it came to helping Ron break his phone addiction, the fans were the ones to count on.

Hermione was very pleased to see it. Ron and Harry finally didn't need to come asking her for homework to use as a "reference." Now she could concentrate on revising and consider when to start that plan while she was at it.

The second year was also the last relatively bright installment in the film series, but now Harry was simply happy at the thought of seeing his godfather next year. He had a relative he had never met who loved him. Perhaps he could move out of the Dursleys' home because of that, too.

Harry chatted with everyone in the group while he imagined his wonderful future, though he might have to sacrifice Ron just a little... After apologizing to Ron in his heart, Harry became even more determined.

The group members were also discussing whether Sirius would receive a phone. At least he could say something to Harry over the phone.

When Will Sirius Get Out of Prison: Sob... My godfather, he'll definitely be able to avoid his original ending and live happily with you, Harry. Sob sob sob...

Was James Potter OOC Today?: And can the owls delivering the phones travel through time...? I want James to say something to Harry from the future. Sob... It would be nice to let Harry see his parents, too.

Bug Ming: Whoa, guys, you're hitting us with angst the moment you come online? Harry himself is still here, and you're already doing this? Doesn't he have finals to study for?

Magpie: Teacher B's devotion to studying...

Bug Ming: What?

Hogwarts' Runaway Top Student: True, Harry, you can't let this affect your finals! Though yours aren't canceled anymore.

What's Wrong with Eating More?: For a moment, I don't know whether to be sad or happy.

What's Wrong with Eating More?: (clutching my chest.jpg)

[Admin] Yan: Hahahahahaha, I'm dying, little Ron~

Chicken Drumstick Hero: Cheer up! At least this way nothing will happen to Ginny!

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: But in exchange, we have to take our finals.

My Older Brother Is Farting: Still... ha! The trade's worth it.

The twins smiled at each other in front of their screens. How could finals be more important than their family? Besides, at least they weren't taking their O.W.L.s this year...

Wait, why did it feel like they'd gotten the short end of the stick?

Ginny, who had just finished class and glanced at her phone, felt a flicker of emotion... Thank goodness Fred and the other two had taken the diary from her ahead of time, thank goodness they had encountered the phones, and thank goodness she could still share her thoughts with the group members now.

Ginny liked sharing how she felt about liking Harry with the group. Of course, she hadn't openly said that the boy she liked was Harry. She also loved sharing the details of her everyday life.

And of course, Ginny remembered her agreement with Luna!

But the group members had learned from past experience.

How could they fail to recognize someone as adorable as Ginny? Besides, what she said about the boy she liked matched Harry a little too closely.

So Ginny's friendly fans kept the fact that they already knew her identity from her and happily chatted with her every day.

That kind of happiness was something the neighboring Snape fan group could only envy.

Snape fans: ...I'm numb. Let it all be destroyed.

Riddle fans: ...Haha (bitter.jpg)

Whose fans had it worst, exactly?

Ah, who knew? But of the people themselves, Ron was probably the most miserable.

And the happiest of the people themselves was probably Deng Duoduo~

Dumbledore was very happy. Although his surname wasn't Deng, being called Grandpa Deng wasn't bad, and his relationship with Grindelwald wasn't so strained now, either.

(Author's inner thoughts: Were you two some kind of awkward couple or what...)

Easter gradually drew closer, and nothing particularly strange had happened up to that point. Lucius did come to the school once over Easter because of the diary.

That was the last time Harry saw Dobby.

Because the diary had been destroyed outright, the Basilisk hadn't been released, and Voldemort's plan had failed once again. Lucius had been forced to come and retrieve it, but coming too early would have looked strange, so he had chosen Easter.

Dobby happened to come along that day, too.

Harry seized the opportunity. Just as it would originally have happened, Dobby received a sock and was freed. Lucius was stunned. He had only been following orders, so how had he lost a House-elf?! And how had that House-elf blasted him away on top of it?!

Dobby was deeply moved and swore that he would be a free House-elf. Harry told him to do his best.

With the matter of Dobby resolved, Harry felt much more at ease.

The group members, who had watched everything on the livestream, felt much more relaxed as well.

Ron, who had secretly hidden to one side under the Invisibility Cloak to help with the livestream, said it was so cool. It was his first time seeing Lucius Malfoy come off badly.

Fred, who had appeared from who knew where, said they could make a set of family-themed reaction images with that Malfoy boy.

"Now we only have Lockhart left to deal with." Ron was eager to get started, holding his broken wand together with tape, when George snatched it away from behind him.

"Hey, tell me, how did that Lockhart bloke lose his memory?" George sounded eager to get started too. How could he and Fred miss out on something so good? They really had had enough of Lockhart's teaching. He couldn't be called a good teacher, anyway.

His hand suddenly empty, Ron paused in surprise. He turned around and couldn't help blurting out, "Seriously, where did you two come from?"

"Does that matter? No, it doesn't." Fred shrugged.

Harry explained Lockhart's original ending. Just as George had thought, the man really couldn't be called a good teacher.

"Don't worry! Leave it to us." Fred and George exchanged a smile.

The laughter of the four outside the Headmaster's Office reached Dumbledore's ears.

Dumbledore smiled and thought that the children really could be a little quieter.

Loyal Guardian of Hogwarts School Rules: Finals again... We only just took them last year, so why do we have to take them again this year?

Lightless Ming: That's a very good point, but why?

What's Wrong with Eating More?: I only just did my homework, so why do I have to do homework again?

[Admin] Yan: Wow, even Ron's making memes now. It's all your fault (?)

Stepmother Literature: Teacher Two doesn't even dare post lewd pictures anymore. It's all your fault!

Proprietress Number Two: ? That's not true, I haven't stopped, I've always dared to.

Snape's Cauldron: ...6

Ron's Rat: Hahahahaha, speaking of which, Harry and the others are about to be in their third year!

When Will Sirius Get Out of Prison: I can't wait, everyone! (rubbing hands.jpg)

Hermione's Front Teeth: Never mind third year, Hermione hasn't even been online lately because she said there are exams in June and she has to start revising in April...

Granger, My God: Ahahahahaha, how sad.

[Admin] Yan: Come to the Ron fan group. There's a study livestream every day, and you can even see Hermione reading in the corner (?)

Bug Ming: ? What, you're advertising already?

Magpie: ? Our twins group will never admit defeat!

Proprietress Number Two: Ha! If the twins weren't in the group, I'd post some incest content! (hands itching to post.jpg)

Kerun: Wait, Teacher Two, calm down. You can't post that!

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: Incest?

[Admin] Holy Crap: Fred, get your minds back on track! This isn't a realm you can venture into! Aaaaaah!

Fred had just been about to ask how there could be anything beyond the reach of the Weasley Twins when he thought of that damned file from last time...

"..." George fell silent. Neither of them had been the protagonist last time, so he hadn't felt much. This time... it felt different.

I'm not in a very good mood tonight. Something happened-it's been resolved, but I'm still a little down-so this chapter is a bit short. Please don't mind.

All right, that's it. Good night, everyone.
