BENJAMIN's OWLs
Core Classes
Astronomy : A
- Benny found Astronomy hard. Not hard in the sense of material but more the fact that he was always so tired when class rolled around.
It was that fact that caused the Ravenclaw to struggle with the class. It took quite a bit of studying to get an Acceptable grade on his OWL exam.
Charms : E
- Charms was an average class for Benny. He wasn't remarkable at it but he knew a thing or two.
Hard work paid off when he studied for the written and practical portions. Walking away Exceeding Expectations, he was happy about that.
Defence Against the Dark Arts : A
- Benny showed some good promise in DADA. Though he had yet to get past the boggart in any sort of practical setting.
His OWL examination was no exception. Trauma from his childhood resurfaced and he was left with a total flop when attempting to cast the incantation required.
Benny's only saving grace was his written exam, leaving him with an Acceptable grade overall.
Herbology : A
- Benny was decent with Herbology. It was a lot of information that he could for the most part retain.
Doing alright as far as his written was concerned, he wasn't so sure on his practical.
It wasn't the best performance and he could have done better. Luckily he managed to get an Acceptable grade.
History of Magic : E
- History was always that easy class for Benny. So long as he listened to the lessons, did the homework, and took the time to review it came pretty easy.
So when the exam rolled around it was no surprise he Exceeded Expectations.
Potions : O
- Benny hadn't expectation to have any kind of talent with potions. However, it came rather easy to him. Like following a recipe, he managed to catch on rather quick.
By the end of his fifth year, Benny was well prepared for his exam. Coming away with an Outstanding grade he couldn't ask for better.
Transfiguration : E
- Benny struggled a lot with Transfiguration. It was definitely considered one of his worst subjects. He was much like his father in that regard.
Luckily much like his father he had help not only from his professor but also his cousin.
In the end he managed to do well enough on both the written and the practical to Exceed Expectations.
Electives
Arithmancy : O
- Arithmancy was divination but with numbers, something Benny found interesting.
It drew him in and he easily found himself working on his homework for the class first. This helped him obtain an Outstanding grade on his OWL exam.
Care of Magical Creatures : A
- Benny wanted to be good with Magical Creatures, although hardly because he wanted a career with them. No, he just wanted to do alright.
Luckily his study habits were good and he was able to get out of the class with an Acceptable grade.
Cursebreaking : O
- Cursebreaking was surprisingly one of Benny's strong suits. The spells worked for him and he knew what to do and when to do it.
Putting in the time to study for the exam it was no surprise he got an Outstanding grade.
Ghoul and Ghost Studies : E
- Ghost Studies was much like history to Benny.
It also help him feel closer to his grandparents despite the fact that they themselves weren't ghosts.
By the end the Ravenclaw managed to Exceed Expectations.
Muggle Studies : E
- If Benny hadn't done well in muggle studies it would definitely have a problem. He wasn't totally submerged in the muggle life but knew what it was all about.
Luckily that helped a lot when it came to the class and he walked away Exceeding Expectations.
Study of Ancient Runes : O
- Benny kind of enjoyed Ancient Runes. It was interesting and he pushed himself to do well in the course.
Walking away with an Outstanding grade, he was surprised yet pleased with his efforts. Turns out hard work when studying pays off.
Wandless Magic : A
- Wandless wasn't something Benny was a master at. In fact he kind of struggled with it.
Trying his best throughout the three years he was in the class, he only truly hoped to pass. Luckily he obtained at least an Acceptable grade.
