Over the next few weeks, they learned more and more, and classes resumed. The O.W.L.s were coming up soon; they had only two weeks left to study. Then there was the graduation ball, too—an event exclusively for students leaving Hogwarts after that year. Natascha’s older sister, Frida, was among them. Two weeks later, the O.W.L.s took place. Rin sat at her desk, behind Natascha and next to Fiete and Saki, writing her answers on the exam paper. Once they finished, they wereallowed to go outside. Then came the end-of-year celebration, where they received their O.W.L. results. Rin had passed with nine O.W.Ls. Natascha had passed eight O.W.L.s—so did Darija and Ilia. Fiete achieved only six, as did Saki; it seemed the two of them hadn't studied enough after all. The next day, they all headed home.
Collaborating with @Zoomy_’s Holly Granger series, which is now writing the story of Natascha Granger, Marleen’s daughter. Thanks to JK Rowling, Erin Hunter, and my friends for my ideas.
