The next day, after Rhea and Professor Snape had breakfast in the Dungeon, Professor Snape went off to a meeting, leaving Rhea behind to help him brew potions destined for St. Mungo's.
Near midday, when Professor Snape returned from his meeting and classes, the sight that greeted him was the young girl busy at work brewing potions. A pleased smile touched the corners of his mouth.
"Rhea, Dumbledore asked me to tell you to get ready for your OWLs and NEWTs examinations starting this afternoon, which will be conducted simultaneously. Since you dropped Divination and Muggle Studies, the exams will last for ten days. Good luck, Rhea!" Professor Snape said earnestly, gently taking hold of Rhea's hand as she reached to prepare another potion.
