Under the glares and stares of the other first year students, I stood dumbly on the results of the Final Exams for the first years.
I even wondered why the heck a thing like this was currently existing when I remembered that there is no stuff like this in the Movie.

Their glares are really affecting me, badly. Specially the Ravenclaws who was staring at me with their 'Why the hell are you in the top rankings' glare. Terry Boot, the first year Ravenclaw who was specially in Bad terms with me since the First Lessons pointed his finger at me. "It's your Fault!" He said not minding our audience. The Other first year Ravenclaws were nodding at his Statement. The First Year Slytherins and Gryffndors were curious. The Passing by Seniors are also listening to the Commotion.
" Why all of your friends are in the top rankings?! It's definitely your fault!" Terry Boot declared to everyone. No objections have come from the Ravenclaws.
I sighed under their glares. " No, it wasn't mine." My God, this is really troublesome. " No! It was thanks to their Hard Work. " I said earnestly as possible. Under everyone's stares, I started a nonsense motivational speech. " They have work hard preparing for the exams. You know, during the last month.. My friends has been worried for the exams. They keep thinking about the results of their exam that they can't properly sleep." I said seriously as I can.
" You are definitely lying. " Terry said and I ignored him while continuing on the sob story.
" They keep saying how anxious they are for the exams that they started reading books in the Library. "
" No, we obviously didn't saw your group of friends going there! " One of the Ravenclaws exclaimed. Under everyone's stares, I 'coughed' and continued with my story.(bullshit)
" They have been working hard. It was really unexpected that it would result like this.... " I said while looking at the Exam Results on the Walls in a 'daze'.
" Absolutely Nonsense!" Terry Boot was now starting to get annoying.
" I now know that As long as they are very prepared and keep persisting with their determination and willing to put all of their effort and hard work, they would overcome the Challenges. " I smiled 'warmly' while looking at Terry Boot.
He was now keeping his silence but he was still glaring at me. I wonder why did Ernie and the others decided to ask me to go here. So, this is for that reason. The troublesome exam results that was posted on the Wall. Those kids, they are probably relaxing in the Hufflepuff Common Room right now. As the Ravenclaws were now quiet, I decided that I would return now to the Hufflepuff Common Room. Unfortunately, Fate has decided to throw another problem to me.
Wayne Hopkins and Megan Jones arrived and they look at the results of the Exam. They look surprised, their eyes widened and mouth were gaping slightly. They started smiling when they saw the results of their exam. But when they saw me their smile became more significantly bigger.
"" Ronald!! "" Under everyone's stares, they tackled me into group hug. They have a very very tight grip. I think I would suffocate from their hug.
" Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!" Megan squealed.
" Because of you, we pass the exams!" Wayne said while his eyes look at me warmly. " Thank you for giving us useful advice and tutoring us during the last two days before the exams! "
I ducked my head a bit, and look at the two children. Sigh, now I know I'm in a deep shit. Still, I should answer the two kids. " No, it was thanks to your hard work." I said while trying not to stare outside of the two kid's range. After that, they keep thanking me for the results of the exam. I try hard to don't cave in from the pressure of the Ravenclaw's stares. Eventually, they started to leave, to share the good news from the other Hufflepuffs.
Now, not even the Ravenclaws are glaring at me. The Other Slytherin's are now also doing the same. " Care to share your Secret tutor Weasley? " One Theodore Nott casually asked. He was smiling but his words were dripping with venom and sarcasm.
" Sorry, but I think I need to find my friends." I muttered and instantly face the opposite direction.
Under their glares, I started running under the direction where there are less people. I ignored the shout of " Get back here Weasley!! We're not Finished! " from someone whose name is Terry Boot.
As I arrived in the quiet corner later, I sighed and decided to lean on the cold wall of the corridor.
Today was the day where the results of the exam from the seven subjects are released. ( Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions and Transfiguration ) The Last week during the First week of June, the exam was held. All of the Students were busy, but now they keep comparing the results of their exam and stare at the walls.
It was annoying and understandable since the first years are kids. I should go back to the Hufflepuff, After the exam Ernie and the Others has been acting strange. But it should have something to do with the exams, it was true that they are anxious, I am not really lying on that one.
When I made my way back to the Hufflepuff Common room, I found them missing. I ask Megan and Wayne who arrived earlier than me.
" I haven't seen them..." Wayne shrugged. " Maybe you should ask Cedric, since he's been here earlier than us."
I nodded and walk to Cedric who was laying on the couch. He greeted me and I asked him if he saw Ernie and the others. He smiled and said that " I saw them with Professor Quirrel earlier. "
Those words are definitely bad news. I instantly leave the Hufflepuff House and took my way towards the Third Floor Corridor.
So how did things turned out this way?
