The Stress of Exams
Backdated: May 28, 2020
Even though the walk to the charms classroom was not a long one, Logan felt like it was taking forever because of the Exam she knew she was going to fail. No matter how much she studied and how often she practiced she was just unable to get most of them right. Like every other student around her, she was wearing her standard school robes and a pair of black flats, her hair unlike its normal loose flowy hairstyle was pulled up into a high ponytail to keep it out of her face.
"Wingardium Leviosa" she muttered to herself as she used her hand to do the movements, trying to fit in some last minute studying before the exam. If she failed this, she knew that her father was going to kill her. He told her that she needed to get at least an E in all of her classes or she would have extra tutoring over the summer. That was something that she didn't want.
Because of Logan's last minute practicing and studying, she wasn't paying attention to any of her surroundings. She had bumped into quite a few older students already and had almost walked into a wall once. If she was going to be able to pass the exam, she needed to make sure she actually focused.

The Stress of Exams
Henry walked down the corridor and to his charms exam, one that he wasn't worried for since charms happened to be his best subject as he moved passed the students buried in their notes and couldn't help but smiled as his exams were half way done already. Henry continued to walked to chants when he caught sight of a familiar face and voice, Henry walked a bit faster as he ducked and maneuvered out of the way of others to reach Logan Baird; Henry's best friend who seemed to be getting some last minute studying before the exam. Henry remembered that Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's had the same exam for charms and he also knew that Logan wasn't as good as charms as she was so maybe he could assist his best friend in some studying before the exam.
When Henry was close enough to Logan he wrapped his arms around her back as he spoke " what's up, Robin?" Henry smiled at his best friend as he removed his arms and fell into step besides her, eventually putting one arm behind Logan's back and on her shoulder as he waited for her answer. Henry placed his other hand on the scape of his messager type bag that held all his books, parchment, quills, and ink that the boy may or may not need. Henry looked at Logan and smiled as he spoke again " studying for charms? Don't worry you get an E and won't need it worry about that summer studying. I can help you study if you like?"

@Henry KnightAs Logan continued down the hallway, she jumped and squealed slightly whenever someone came up behind her and wrapped their arms around her. "Don't scare me like that Charm, I could have accidentally hurt you." She told him with a small smile on her face as he released her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders instead. Just thinking about the exam in just a few minutes made the Hufflepuff anxious as she started to tug at the sleeves of her robe, clearly showing that she was nervous by the already fraying edges of the robes.
"What if I don't pass though? I have tried so hard and I still can't do the wand-lighting charm correctly." Her voice was quiet and meek as she looked at her flats as they walked down the hall. Just the thought of Henry assisting her with studying a bit allowed her to calm her nerves a little. No matter how much studying she did for this exam, she knew that she was not going to end up going away with an O. Hopefully it would be an E, but she wasn't giving herself the best hope. "You have too much faith in me Charm, but any help you can give me would be wonderful."

Henry listened to his best friend speak and when she finished, he smiled as he spoke" and you don't have enough faith in yourself, Robin. You'll studied for this exam for weeks now and if you need any help, I'll be close by." Henry squeezed her shoulders a bit before continuing " but if you do get an A on this exam then maybe your father will let me tutor you over the summer so then we get to hang out, you can introduce me to your horses and you'll learn about charms." Henry laughed a bit as he looked at Logan then quickly back in front of himself as he didn't want to run into anyone as he walked through the corridor.
" and for lumos, all you have to do is concentrate and focus on the charms then you'll get it easily," Henry spoke to his best friend but sadly he didn't know exactly how she felt since classes and exams came easy to him just like how it came easy to his brother before he continued " any other questions, Robin?" Henry turned to looked at Logan which turned out to be bad as he stumbled over his feet and nearly fall but lucky he caught himself just in time as he took his arm off of Logan to do it. When Henry regained his balance he turned to Logan as he spoke " that was close, wasn't it Robin." Henry laughed a bit and playfully elbowed Logan in the ribs slightly as he laughed.
@Logan Baird sorry for the wait, that won't happen again

@Henry Knight You are fine we all get busyLooking at Henry with a skeptical smile, Logan shook her head a little bit. "I guess I could always ask my father if you could tutor me. I don't think he would say much about it, although he would probably hire a tutor for the days that you can't. Wouldn't be the first time." The little Hufflepuff mumbled the last little bit as she looked down at the frayed sleeves of her robes. She had continued to pull on them as she spoke causing another few layers of thread to come loose and she knew that her father was not going to be happy about that one.
When Henry asked if she had any other questions Logan sighed. Yeah she had a lot of questions but she didn't want to really bother him with all of them so she chose one. "What...um...what is the incantation for locking charm?" As soon as she spoke though Henry tripped over his feet causing Logan to giggle a bit. That had brought her mood up a bit and when he started to laugh, a grin formed onto her face. "That was a close one Charm, don't want you to hurt your pretty little face now do we." Logan jokingly shoved him a little bit as she took a few steps ahead of him.

Hearing Logan joke about his potential fall and then as he felt a shove from her, Henry had to speed up a bit to catch up with her again as he to laugh a bit. Henry rolled eyes but more in a playful than rather in a annoyance way as he spoke " really funny and next time I fall, I'll make sure to bring you down with me," Henry looked at her with a smile on his face to say he was only joking as he started to remember the incantation for the locking charm.
" the locking charm is Colloportus and the movement is horizontally right then down then horizontally left then down again," Henry spoke as he looked at Logan before continuing "any other questions?" Henry looked at his best friend and could tell that she was nervous so he smiled as he brushed his shoulder against hers before speaking " you'll be fine, just take a breath and relax." Henry looked ahead and figured that they still had time so Henry grabbed her hand and pull her off to the side and out of the way of others as he came to a halt befor saying " I have something to give you, I don't know if it will help but I had it for you a while now."

@Henry KnightLogan giggled a little bit at Henry said he was going to take her down with him next time he fell. As soon as they started to talk about charms again though, the smile fell from her face. Henry was telling her what the incantation and wand movement were but as she attempted to follow along. She messed up and attempted to retry only to forget what it was again.
"Can you just do the exam for me?" Logan questioned as she looked up at Henry with wide, puppy dog eyes. "Pleeeeeeease," she begged, hoping that he would accept and take the exam for her. She knew that he would never be able to do that but maybe they could find a way to do it.
What surprised Logan was when Henry pulled her off to the side off corridor, mostly so people wouldn't run into them. What surprised the Hufflepuff even more was that he had something for her. "Why would you have something for me?" she questioned him, "Don't get me wrong, I am curious, thankful, and want to know what it is, but why would you get something for me?" The last time Logan had gotten him anything was for his birthday, and that wasn't even much. What could he possibly have gotten her?

Henry listened to her speak before smiling himself and saying " it's no big deal plus I think you might like it," since Henry made it himself it didn't cost anything and Logan already knew that his family is poor so he didn't feel bad or embarrassed by that fact around her either as he dug around in bag for a couple minutes before pulling out two rope bracelets with colorful breads strung in the middle. As Henry looked back at Logan while holding the two bracelets he spoke " I saw a few others with some similar to these so I thought I would make two for us," Henry held them up while also keeping a eye on the time while he spoke again " their friendship bracelets if you haven't guess yet Robin, and a symbol of our friendship. So that no matter where we are or what were doing, as long as we wear these we'll be together or least be reminded that we have a friend by our side."
Henry thought his words sounded cheesy so he shook his head while he laughed a bit before speaking again " so do you want one? We don't have to wear or use them if you don't one to, I just thought I'll suggest the idea," Henry looked at his bets friend while he held the two bracelets up while he waited for an answer.

@Henry KnightLogan listened and watched Henry carefully as he spoke to her and dug through his bag. She was honestly curious about what he had for her but didn't want to seem rude. When she saw the bracelets though, her face lit up into a smile. "Oh my god, they are so pretty. Thank you, you really didn't have to do this for me," she stated as she looked at it closely.
"Help me put it on," she stated quickly as she held out her right wrist for him to put it on her. She honestly hadn't expected him to do something like this for her and it actually made her sad that she hadn't done anything for him. She frowned a little bit and her eyes scrunched as she looked at the bracelet and tried to think of something she could give to the boy. To get her mind off of it though, she looked back up at him.
"Is that a no for doing the exam for me then?" she questioned him as she looked up with a slight grin on her face. She assumed that he wasn't going to do it for her, but there was no reason that she couldn't ask him anyway.

Henry was around escalated when Logan liked the bracelet and even asked for Henry to help her put it on, as Henry carefully slid the bracelet on her right wrist then tied the ends in a pretty good knot so it doesn't slip off or get lost, Henry smiled at her as he spoke " I'm glad you like
and don't worry about it. Because I wanted to do this," Henry then tried to tie his own bracelet on his left wrist but couldn't as he held out the bracelet and his left wrist before speaking " would you mind helping me put it on to robin?"
Henry looked at Robin as he laughed a bit when he heard her next question and couldn't help but to say " I would love to take the exam for you but my father would kill me if I was caught cheating," Henry thought of his father and how odd he was since he was disowned from a pureblood family but still treats his kids like they belong to a high class pureblood family which made Henry sick as he continued " I'll probably also get an embarrassing owl from him to," Henry shook his head before speaking again " and who knows maybe with these bracelets they might be a lucky charm for you to get an E or maybe even an O on this exam."
