Chapter Seventeen, OWL Results

The older teenagers were anxious when they woke up in mid August, as today was the day they would be getting their OWL results, even if the boys wouldn't admit that they were nervous. After changing into a pair of black jeans, a purple v-neck top, gold sandals, a golden flower headband, her hair in a ponytail with a plaid running through it, purple lipgloss, purple Smokey eyeshadow, mascara, black eyeliner and her rings. Josie ran out of her room nearly bumping into the others as they too charged out of their room eager for their letters. In the family dinning room Monty and Mia smiled to themselves as they heard the children charge down the stairs sounding like a herd of rampaging Hippogriffs.
"Are they here?" James asked, as he and Josie ran into the dinning room.

"Good morning to you too." Mia huffed good naturedly, while Josie elbowed James.
"Sorry." James apologised.
"Morning Mum. Morning Dad." The twins said together. "But are they?" They asked together again, as the rest ran into the dinning room.
"There they are." Monty laughed, pointing to the end of the table that kids all but dived for, ripping into the envelopes with fervour while Regulus chuckled, sat down and helped himself to breakfast. Knowing this time next year that'll be him, although, he did keep glancing at his friends and his brother just like Mr and Mrs P kept glancing at them.

Josie shared a look with James holding each other's hands for comfort just like when they were kids, while they flicked open the parchment for their results with the other, butterflies bubbling away in their stomachs. Well, in everyone's stomachs really. They all seemed to take in a collective breath at the same time, as they all gathered their courage to open the test results. Josie, Pandora and Marlene let out a squeal as they saw their results. Starting the boys a little.

"Well done, all of you." Mia said proudly, and you could hear and see it in her voice and eyes. "I am so proud of all of you."
"You've all done so well despite what's happened this year and I couldn't be prouder. Dora, Marl, Remus, I suggest you write to your parents after breakfasts as they'll be just as proud of you as Mia and I are of all you." Monty said happily, hugging all of them along with his wife. "I think this is cause for a celebration, but first Josie and I have something to announce." Monty gestured for his daughter to speak, after she'd finished congratulating her brother, friends and boyfriend.

"Remus, I know you struggle with the Full Moon so I spoke to Dad at Christmas and since then we've been working on creating a potion for you and all werewolves. And it's finally ready." Josie explained, staring intently at her friend, who surged out of his seat and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"Thank you. Thank you. Whatever did I do to deserve a friend like you, Starfall?" Remus all but sobbed into her shoulder. While Marlene mouthed, 'thank you' to her best friend and Mr P, touched on her boyfriend's behalf.
"You deserve everything Moony and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You have all of us and your wonderful betrothed over there to make you happy. I warned her she has to otherwise I'd hex her into oblivion." Josie said, seriously, making everyone laugh.

"You are amazing, my love." Sirius said, kissing her temple lovingly.
"That's my sister always the tone of surprise and a heart of gold." James said proudly, hugging her tightly. Then it was another round of hugs with Pandora, Marlene and Regulus hugging her. "When will it be released to the public, Dad?" James asked curiously, as everyone finally returned to their breakfasts.
"It already has." Monty said unfolding the newspaper, so they could all read it.

THE POTTERS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

It seems for this family potion making runs in the family or rather in the veins. Famous Potioneer Fleamont Henry Potter's youngest, Josephine, takes after her father in the potion making business. At only sixteen years old and having only just finished her OWLs, she with a little help from her father created a potion that will help werewolves with the effects of the moon, such as keeping their human mind when they transform. Also potion also helps with the after effects such as fatigue.

Fleamont Potter commented that the potion will have a FREE three months supply to all werewolves, and afterwards a price agreement shall be made with individuals if they need it. Half of all proceeds will go to the advocate of werewolf rights. An active but poorly funded charity that hopes to give werewolves a better standing in the Wizarding World such as: better pay, health care, a chance for a family and so much more. With this stance, we wonder if any of our dear readers will donate to this charity?

We at the Daily Prophet can already tell the changes father and daughter will sweep across this nation and we wonder if the Heiress will take after her father in Potioneering. We already know that the young Heir Potter is like his father in his duellist ways and creating and designing things for his pranks and will most likely take after his younger sister and father. So we cannot wait to see what both young Potters will bring to Wizarding Britain, judging by this we are all in for a treat.

"Do you really think they'll really donate to the charity, the other Wizengamot members?" Sirius asked.
"We can only hope." Mia sighed. "I know Arcturus and Melania are donating towards both the charity and the potion. We said there was no need to donate towards the potion but they insisted." She added, shocking both Sirius and Regulus. Although, they weren't going to complain, as they liked the much needed change in their grandparents and only wish the rest of their family would be more like them and Andy.
"I can ask my Mum and Dad." Pandora and Marlene said at the same time, making everyone laugh.
"Thank you girls." Josie said, hugging her friends tightly.
"This is certainly going to be an interesting year ahead of us." James mused, making everyone laugh once more as they couldn't really disagree.
