Daphne Greensborough - OWL Exams


xxxxx⇾Astronomy ~ {O}
Daphne quite likes Astronomy, especially when Professor Clarke lets her bring her camera along. She’s gotten some super nice pictures, and she got a ton of good knowledge along the way.

xxxxx⇾Charms ~ {EE}
Charms was a pretty fun class, even though it was pretty tricky. She practiced a lot, keeping herself afloat with a lot of effort.

xxxxx⇾Defence Against the Dark Arts ~ {A}
Defense was a super tricky class for Daphne. She tried her best to make it better, but even with a lot of studying, she didn’t do very well. Honestly, she was surprised to make a pass, and she was proud of her studying.

xxxxx⇾Herbology ~ {O}
Daphne learned gardening from her mom, and has always had a green thumb. Magical plants aside, she kept up her skill with practice and love.

xxxxx⇾History of Magic ~ {D}
Yikes. History is an awful class, rather boring AND full of dates and events she didn’t care about? Even trying to make the class fun didn’t work, and she failed quite miserably.

xxxxx⇾Potions ~ {P}
Daphne has never been much of a chef, nor can she follow recipes very well. Something about potions, which was usually in the middle of the night, was just difficult. Even with exact recipes, Daphne struggled to keep the potions from going nuclear.

xxxxx⇾Transfiguration ~ {EE}
Weirdly, Transfiguration was a fascinating class, even though it was difficult and sometimes confusing. Daphne practiced a bunch, managing a solid pass in the class.

~~~~~~~~~~~

xxxxx⇾Art ~ {O}
Even though her preferred medium is film, Daphne practiced a bunch of other styles, discovering that she was pretty good with more than she’d ever thought.

xxxxx⇾Care of Magical Creatures ~ {O}
Daphne loved learning about magical creatures, especially since she could take pictures and send information about them over to her brothers. It was super cool to learn, and she did really well on the exam.

xxxxx⇾Divination ~ {EE}
Despite not being a true Seer, Daphne really enjoyed Divinations class. Learning all the ways people could predict the future was fascinating, and even though she wasn’t super good at it, she loved the learning part.

xxxxx⇾Healing Class ~ {O}
Daphne really liked healing, especially since it allowed her to showcase her maternal instinct. She loved helping people feel better, even if it was just small things. With a little extra practice, she managed a huge success.

xxxxx⇾Muggle Studies ~ {O}
Daphne did indeed take the class, partially as a way to make sure she didn’t have to spend as much time with her roommates. Then she learned it was super fascinating to see how wizards thought of muggle technology.

xxxxx⇾Music ~ {P}
Even though her dad taught her the basics of guitar, Daphne has never had much of a sense of rhythm. She tried the class thinking it would be a breeze, but surprisingly, it was super difficult for her.

xxxxx⇾Wandlore Studies ~ {EE}
Wandlore was a neat class, though it was pretty confusing. She learned all kinds of information about wands, woods, and cores, even though she didn’t exactly foresee a future working with wands.

Daphne Greensborough - NEWT Exams


xxxxx⇾Astronomy ~ {O}
Something about the calming nature of Astronomy... The candles and lilting music so close to bedtime... It seemed to make learning far easier. Daphne studied outside of class as well, and passed the exam with no difficulties at all.

xxxxx⇾Charms ~ {EE}
Charms was important, Daphne knew that, but the NEWT-level classes served a challenge. Despite studying a ton, she still missed a few points. She did, however, still do quite well on the exam and scored a respectable grade.

xxxxx⇾Herbology ~ {O}
Daphne has always been good with plants, though usually they were the muggle varieties. Her caring nature helped her tend the magical plants as well, and she got top marks on the exam.

xxxxx⇾Transfiguration ~ {EE}
Daphne found transfiguration interesting, but it was perpetually tricky. Finding the exact balance to cast the spells seemed to shift, but she became pretty good at handling it. The exam served itself challenging, but Daphne still passed with pretty great marks.

~~~~~~~~~~~

xxxxx⇾Art ~ {O}
Daphne preferred the media arts, especially with her camera, but discovered she had a cool penchant for mixed media. Taking one of her photographs, then drawing on/around it to create a cool living media art. When it came time to test, she just did her thing and got top marks.

xxxxx⇾Care of Magical Creatures ~ {O}
Magical Creatures are way too cool to not study hard. She loved meeting all the creatures, and did her best to care for them. Her encyclopedic knowledge of the animals came in handy during the exam and she got a perfect score.

xxxxx⇾Healing Class ~ {O}
Daphne practiced healing magic a lot. Not always in controlled settings. But sometimes, practical application counted for a lot of studies. Between keeping her roommates alive and caring for quidditch injuries, Daphne got her paces in. The exam seemed effortless compared to trying to save Milan in a snowstorm.

xxxxx⇾Muggle Studies ~ {O}
Daphne didn’t really need to take the Muggle Studies class, given that she was a muggleborn from a muggle household... but she simply found it fascinating to see muggles from the wizard scope. She often added points of note from an actual muggle perspective, which seemed to be appreciated.

xxxxx⇾Wandlore Studies ~ {EE}
Wandlore was such a fascinating class, and Daphne quite enjoyed it. She loved learning how wands would choose their wizards, looking into the wand’s creation to see which traits paired so well with the wizards. Though closer to exam time, Daphne prioritized other classes, and lost a few points. She still did pretty well, which she was quite proud of.
