Albert's written Potions exam on Monday was even simpler than he had anticipated. Most of the test questions required candidates to describe certain potion ingredients or specific brews.
For example: describe the properties of moonstone and its uses in potion-making.
The practical Potions exam in the afternoon was even more relaxing, largely because their dear Professor Snape was not prowling the examination room, meaning no one hovered behind them like a ghost while they brewed, nor created deliberate psychological pressure.
Most students brewed potions much more easily than usual, and even Fred and George lost their usual do-or-die expressions.
