[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

The young wizards' first school year at Hogwarts came to an end. The train to King's Cross Station rumbled with the whistle, and the bright sunshine shone through the glass into the carriages.

"Malfoy isn't that bad." Ron had just swallowed a mouthful of cauldron cake when he followed Harry and Hermione's conversation, which was about the Philosopher's Stone. "Of course, I'm talking about Alicia. Uh, it's really weird to call her that out of the blue."

Hermione nodded like a little adult, automatically ignoring the second half of Ron's words: "Of course, although we missed the House Cup, the points Alicia got are definitely well-deserved."

Alicia first risked her life to tell them Quirrell's conspiracy, and then stepped forward at the critical moment to stand in front of Harry.

"Come to think of it, the first time I met her was on a train - that's not really a good memory. Who would have thought that we have a good relationship now? Well, at least it's not that bad." Hermione looked towards the door of the carriage, her thoughts involuntarily drifting to the day when she first met Alicia.

So what is the girl being discussed by the trio doing at this moment?

She was worrying about her final exam report card.

To be precise, the first-year Slytherin carriage was filled with gloom and sorrow.

They couldn't even pass the test against a Muggle wizard?

Draco's unwillingness was clearly written on his face. He was sure that his father would not let him off easily when he returned home this time.

Damn Hermione Granger!

Among the group of people, only Alicia accepted this well. If it weren't for this incident with the Dark Lord, she would definitely be unhappy about the final grade, but now?

She just wanted to say that it felt great to sit on the return train with her arms and legs intact.

"Alicia, it's okay. You are the only one in our grade who got an O in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Seeing that the girl had been silent, Pansy spoke carefully to comfort her.

The platinum-blonde girl turned her head and glanced at Pansy resentfully, then pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty, trying to reveal a natural smile, but unfortunately failed: "Well... I'm fine."

How can it be okay?!

The O in Quirrell's hand is like a hot potato. With her understanding of the Dark Lord over the past year, she can probably guess some of his thoughts. For example, when grading, he must think that only the students he taught can be called students.

Merlin, Alicia didn't want this "honor" at all. She would rather lose the title of second in the grade.

Theodore probably thought that she was indeed in a low mood, so he calmly changed the subject: "Draco, are you and Alicia going to make up for your birthday?"

June 5th happened to be a day during exam week, and even though they had carefully prepared gifts for both of them, it was far less lively than previous birthday parties.

Draco and his sister looked at each other, and the former considered for a moment before speaking: "Let's talk about it later. After all, we have to see what plans our father has for us during this holiday."

Pansy was very interested in this topic. She was eager to discuss various plans with Draco, such as 'What should she do if Uncle Lucius plans to re-hold the party', 'If Uncle Lucius has no such plan, can they have a private gathering' and so on.

Alicia looked at Theodore unexpectedly, but the latter avoided her gaze and lowered his head to read a book.

Seeing him like this, the girl didn't say anything. She leaned back and closed her eyes to rest.

She also had to think carefully about what to do with the notebook in her suitcase that was related to the Dark Lord and that she had to take home because she was afraid it would be discovered accidentally.

Theodore: Isn't it only natural to help your future fiancée out?

Tony: Boy, I advise you not to be so confident.

Thea: Excuse me, but the fact that Granger is top of the grade isn't as shocking to me as the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. After all, it's not uncommon to have a few geniuses among Muggles - look, the guy upstairs from me is one of them.

Tony: No no no, Tony Stark is a genius among geniuses
