After several intense days of HOWLs and NEWTs, the results were finally ready. The Hogwarts staff, led by Roy, gathered to review the scores. Magic radiated through the castle, the excitement of students palpable as they awaited the news.
Roy, sitting in his principal's office, summoned Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Cedric, the Weasley twins, and a few other top-performing students for the announcement of results.
Roy's Performance
Roy had taken every subject in the HOWLs:
Alchemy – O
Potions – O
Charms – O
Transfiguration – O
Runes – O
Herbology – O
Defence Against the Dark Arts – O
Prophecy – O
Every examiner was stunned. Griselda Marchbanks, in particular, noted:"I have never seen a student score O in every subject with such precision and mastery. Headmaster Valvas, your skills are extraordinary."
Roy simply smiled, his calm confidence evident. "It's a reflection of training and preparation. Hard work pays off."
Hermione, Cassandra, and Daphne
Thanks to Roy's personal tutoring during the exams, Hermione, Cassandra, and Daphne achieved O grades in nearly every subject they attempted. Their joy was contagious as they congratulated each other:
Hermione: "Roy's guidance really made the difference—I never thought I could do this well."
Cassandra: "It's like he anticipated every question!"
Daphne: "I'm so happy! We actually worked hard and it paid off!"
Roy nodded at them proudly, knowing their effort and the guidance paid off in both knowledge and confidence.
Cedric Diggory
When Roy reviewed Cedric's NEWT results, he noticed many O grades. Cedric, ever the diligent student, had performed exceptionally in subjects like Charms, Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts, which Roy had specifically trained him in.
"Cedric," Roy said with a small smile, "your dedication shows. You've grown immensely over the years."
Cedric grinned. "Thank you, Headmaster. You've been a huge inspiration."
The Weasley Twins
Fred and George Weasley had scored O in Potions, Charms, and Alchemy, with E grades in the rest of their subjects. While some might have seen this as uneven, Roy knew it perfectly matched their strengths and interests.
"They focused on what they excel at," Roy remarked to McGonagall. "And they still performed well enough to graduate confidently."
Fred winked at George. "I told you our pranks and potions practice would pay off one day."
George laughed. "Yeah, and Roy made it look easy for us!"
Graduation and Celebration
With the exam results finalized, the graduating students were ecstatic. Roy, ever the modest leader, encouraged them:"Grades reflect your hard work, but more importantly, the skills you've learned will protect and empower you in the wizarding world. Congratulations to all of you."
Students cheered, the excitement of graduation mixed with celebration of their newfound knowledge. For many, especially Hermione, Cassandra, Daphne, Cedric, and the Weasley twins, this was a culmination of years of growth, guided by Roy's mentorship.
Even as Hogwarts returned to normalcy, the students knew one thing clearly: with Roy leading as Headmaster, their education and training were unmatched, and the magical world would always remember the year of unprecedented achievement.
