A Fight Instilled...

Isabella sat quietly in her seat, waiting for the professor to hand out the graded History of Magic tests. She had worked hard on this exam, reviewing every chapter, taking notes, and memorizing dates and magical events. The subject was one of her favorites. She loved learning about the origins of magical creatures, the great wizarding wars, and ancient spells. As the professor began walking around the classroom, handing back papers, Isabella felt a flutter of excitement in her chest. When the professor finally reached her desk, he placed her test face-down in front of her.
She couldn’t resist flipping it over immediately. The first thing she saw was the score: 23 out of 25. A smile spread across her face. "Yes!" she whispered to herself, her heart swelling with pride. She was usually the top student in this class, and this was no exception. Isabella leaned back in her chair, feeling satisfied with her work. But as she was about to write the date at the top of the paper to file it away, a voice from the back of the room caught her attention.
“I got 25 out of 25!” Her stomach twisted. 25 out of 25? Isabella turned toward the source of the voice, trying to spot who it was. Who could have scored higher than her? She scanned the room quickly, but no one seemed particularly surprised or impressed. A few students were chatting, but no one was acting like they had just aced the test in a way she hadn’t. Her mind raced. Who was it? She had worked so hard, studied every single detail, and yet...someone managed to get two more points than her? That wasn’t supposed to happen. Her curiosity burned as she stared at her paper, suddenly wondering if she had missed something or if someone had done something...different.
