A fruitfull day

today, i faced something i had been dreading for quite some time. something that would have made Harry Potter pretty happy to get away with just dueling with the Dark Lord. Its the most sinister thing the profs could have though of. And they seemed quite pleased with the situation. well, so i explain the immense task that lay ahead of me.

I woke up this morning, with a sharp pain in the scar on my forehead. Wait! that was still the dream. Ah well........coming back to the issue, as soon as i woke up, the clock showing 8:40 a.m., a sudden dread came upon me. i could almost feel the dementors prowling in the vicinity. now this is not the dream any more. dementors here are not the hooded and walking 5" above the ground ala HP, they are creatures much more powerful, dark and dangerous! A mere dementor or even a hoard of them are no match! their most powerful attack is a Quiz! and i had to face one in just under 15 min. pulling out my wand (that will be the mere pen for a muggle), and getting ready as soon as humanly possible, i raced to meet my fate. With utter lack of fear, mostly because of the lack of sleep and almost no food for the past quite some hours, i faced the Quiz with all my might. And now looking back, i can say i am pretty satisfied how it all unfolded. but i will spare u from the details for now.

my joy at finishing off one Quiz was short-lived. I soon realised the mega plan of the Dementors. There were not One, not Two, not Three, not Fo.... actually it was Four Quizzes planned for the day!! phew. Imagine my plight!

but having faced one Quiz, I was high on confidence, and somehow looking forward to the rest of the Quizzes. But just then it happened. It started raining! And the simple effect was to deprive me of my lunch. having already missed my breakfast, that was a real blow.

But then, i ought be used to such a situation. And so i was!

Next was a Quiz that almost came as a shock. One question and i had no idea what to do. somehow managed to come up with a decent looking solution with which the prof should be pretty much happy. atleast to give me half the credits, if not more.

The third Quiz takes the cake. 40 Questoins. 10 Minutes. Do the maths and its 15 seconds per question. even CAT had more time per question. waded through some how. scoring 31+,9-

the last quiz was the easiest. my forte, if i may say so. was one of the firsts to finish off the Quiz and be out of the hall. Freedom beckoned!

Now, Four Quizzes down, i feel like i can take on anyone/anything

Till the Quiz marks come out that is.
