Willem Tittensor - OWL Exams
xxxxx⇾Astronomy ~ {EE}
Having a class so close to bedtime was a bit of a logistical nightmare for Lem. He’d much rather be tucked into bed than reading the heavens. However, both professors were quite nice, and he simply didn’t want to disappoint them. He studied (more in the daytime when his brain was awake), and did his best. He did pass, though not with a perfect grade.
xxxxx⇾Charms ~ {O}
Lem found charms quite interesting, and he loved learning the quirky ways of the magic. He studied hard, working in practical application until he was fully comfortable. This reflected during his exam, where he got top marks.
xxxxx⇾Defence Against the Dark Arts ~ {O}
Defense was a critically important class to Lem. One too many times he’d urgently needed the defensive aspect, but had no way to use it. Well, he’d never be caught with his guard down again. He studied so hard and got so far, passing with an impeccable score.
xxxxx⇾Herbology ~ {P}
While plants could be interesting, Lem’s horrific allergies were enough to make him miserable during the classes. He tried his best, but he just didn’t have the will to overcome his watery eyes and sneezing to put in extra study time.
xxxxx⇾History of Magic ~ {O}
Even though he always felt kind of like an oddity, Lem truly and deeply enjoyed learning history. It was fascinating, and allowed him to deep-dive with research. He read every book related to their topics, not realizing how much extra studying he was doing since he was so lost in the interesting bits of history. It certainly proved itself on the exam, getting top marks (and probably more if they didn’t let him keep writing?)
xxxxx⇾Potions ~ {A}
Potions was infinitely fascinating, but it was also tricky. Lem hadn’t ever been good in the kitchen, and this was a million times harder than a typical kitchen. The recipes had to be 100% exact or bad things could happen. While he did excellent on his written exam, the practical lost him several points. He passed, but only because of the book knowledge.
xxxxx⇾Transfiguration ~ {O}
Lem didn’t understand why people said the class was difficult. It was all about balance, after all. He studied hard and took advantage of practice in class every chance he could. The exam was a breeze, and he got high marks.
~~~~~~~~~~~
xxxxx⇾Alchemy ~ {O}
Alchemy, despite its dabble in potions, contained enough of several other classes to hold Lem’s interest. Alchemy seemed to be at the core of all the other classes, and he used his strong areas to make up for weaker classes.... Plus Professor Narain was a big help for the study.
xxxxx⇾Arithmancy ~ {EE}
Arithmancy was interesting. He’d never particularly put much stock into Divination, but somehow, seeing the study as numbers and runes made it all click. He didn’t do a flawless job on the exam, but he still did pretty darn good.
xxxxx⇾Cursebreaking ~ {A}
Lem took Cursebreaking as a challenge class, and challenge it provided. He studied his best, but didn’t quite understand the subject. When it came time to the exam, he made a few mistakes, which dropped his grade. He still passed, though not as high as he’d like.
xxxxx⇾Healing Class ~ {O}
Watching several loved ones die... or be the one to discover them gone... had a severe impact on Lem. He never wanted to be in a situation where he couldn’t help. He put in several extra hours of studying, making sure he understood every aspect of the class. On the exam, he did everything step-for-step, passing with top scores.
xxxxx⇾Music ~ {O}
In music class, Lem was allowed to showcase his talents in a safe, non-judgemental location. His only struggle was toting his heavy harp case around. As he played, he let instinct and practice take over, playing magical melodies from memory alone. On the exam, he shared his skill, along with his practical knowledge of music. He got a perfect grade... but still had to carry his harp back to his room.
xxxxx⇾Study of Ancient Runes ~ {O}
Who couldn’t like runes? It was a cool, archaic magic form that he got to puzzle out and decipher. Lem got pretty good with the languages presented, using his knowledge of history to pair the languages with those that created it.
xxxxx⇾Wandless Magic Practice ~ {A}
Wandless magic seemed like it would be super helpful, but it actually turned out quite frustrating for Lem. He was far better with a wand to focus his powers, and trying to find focus without was difficult. He passed his written exams, but practically he showed he wasn’t quite as skilled as he’d liked.
xxxxx⇾Wandlore Studies ~ {O}
Wandlore was terribly interesting, and Lem found it to be quite important. After all, breaking down someone’s wand seemed a grand way to learn all about a person without having to actually communicate with them.
xxxxx⇾Wizard Law
Lem had a lot of experience with the legal side of the world the several times he had to be in court about various murders. He remembers focusing on the lawyers to try and prevent focus on the gruesome murders and such. Once he was able to take the class, he decided to try his hand and turned out to be pretty skilled, which was awesome. ~ {O}
