The moment the professors made the official announcement—quarterly exams, half-yearlies, annuals, and scholarships—Hogwarts erupted.
Some students were excited.Some were terrified.And some simply froze like stunned puffskeins.
But one group reacted exactly as expected…
The Weasley Twins React
During lunch in the Great Hall, Fred and George Weasley stood on the Gryffindor bench like they were giving a speech in the Wizengamot.
Fred shouted,"More exams? Absolute cruelty! Brutal! Barbaric!"
George added dramatically,"Clearly our new Headmaster has never heard of free time!"
Laughter rippled across the tables. A few students nodded vigorously.
Just then, Roy entered the Hall.
The noise dropped instantly.
The twins turned slowly…
"Ah—Headmaster Roy!" Fred said with a weak smile."We were just, uh… expressing deep academic concern."
George nodded. "Purely educational commentary."
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Because I was thinking of increasing Quidditch matches this year."
Instant silence.
Then—
"WHAT?!" half the Hall shouted.
Roy smirked.
"Yes. Every house gets to play twice against every other house. More strategy. More games. More fun."
The Hall exploded into cheers.
Even the Ravenclaws were excited.Hufflepuffs banged their utensils on the table.Gryffindors screamed in joy.
But Roy lifted a hand.
"Of course… after hearing the Weasley twins complain about my exam system, I might reconsider."
Every head snapped toward the twins.
George paled.Fred whispered, "We're dead."
Angelina Johnson's Fury
From the Gryffindor table, Angelina Johnson slowly stood up.
In her hand was—
A baseball bat.
Where she got it, no one knew.
"Roy," she said sweetly,"you're not canceling my extra Quidditch matches… are you?"
Roy folded his arms."That depends on the twins."
Every student turned to Angelina.
Angelina cracked her knuckles.
Fred squeaked, "Now hold on—let's discuss—"
WHACK.
BAM.
THUD.
Angelina beat the life out of the twins.A few Gryffindors rushed to help her.Even some Hufflepuffs joined in.Lee Jordan yelled play-by-play like a commentator.
"AND FRED GOES DOWN—GEORGE IS TRYING TO CRAWL—NO ESCAPE—ANGELINA SWINGS—HOME RUN!"
The twins finally fled the Great Hall at top speed, chased by Angelina wielding the bat like a divine weapon of justice.
The Students' Relief
With the twins gone, Roy lifted his hand calmly.
"Quidditch matches remain doubled."
The cheering shook the rafters.
Even the professors at the high table chuckled.
McGonagall was outright smiling.Snape hid his amusement behind his goblet.Hagrid clapped so loudly the table shook.
Roy sat down and began eating while the Hall buzzed with excitement.
Exams were terrifying.Scholarships were surprising.
But Quidditch?
Quidditch solved everything.
