Donella Brown's OWLs (Taken Only):
Charms:
"Wingardium leviosa," Donella recited clearly, and with a swish and a flick the feather fluttered up into the air.
DADA:
Donella approached the rattling cabinet, and the doors flew open. Her parents and brother stepped out, alive and well but mirror images of disgust and even anger. "You're a disgrace," her mother spat at her, and her father shook his head as if in disbelief. Her brother was silent and scowling. "I won't have you in my house anymore," her mother added sharply, "not if you're going to be a-," "RIDDIKULUS!" Donella snapped, and her family turned into cardboard cutouts, which promptly fell over with nothing to support them. She chuckled after a moment, and the boggart disappeared back into the cabinet.
Herbology:
Donella enjoyed working with nearly all plants, but she'd never liked Bubotubers. Who would? They smelled disgusting and were unpleasant to handle. Reluctantly, she slipped on her gloves and began to squeeze out the contents of each pustule into the vial in her hand. Very carefully, she worked her way around the entire plant, before handing in the few vials she'd filled.
Divination:
Donella studied the orb. "I see a kite flying in front of the sun," she said after a moment. "A kite symbolizes freedom and wishes, while the sun represents happiness and success. With newfound freedom, comes great happiness and success in life."
Healing:
Donella carefully applied ointment to the cut on the volunteer's arm, then wrapped it securely with a bandage.
NEWTs (Taken Only):
Charms:
Donella regarded the wall of fire warily. "Flammus friggus!" she declared, and then approached, ensuring that the fire had cooled before she passed through the doorway. At the shrieking Jarvey, she wrinkled her nose in distaste, before snapping, "Silencio!" over its yells. It immediately went silent, and she continued onto the boulder, which she successfully banished, "Depulso!" with a small smile of satisfaction, and came to the egg. "Colovaria!" Donella cast, and the egg turned bright red.
DADA:
Donella narrowed her eyes in the direction of the first dummy. "Expelliarmus!" The wand flew out of the dummy's hand. "Confundus!" she cast on the next dummy, making its smile immediately vanish to be a befuddled, dazed look. "Protego!" she immediately yelled at the next dummy, before it could disarm her. "Stupefy!" The fourth dummy toppled over, stunned. Finally she came to a halt, slightly breathless, before the cupboard. The door creaked open, and the boggart emerged. A swirling vortex of stormy weather appeared, howling winds and lightning crackling overhead. Donella flinched against the gusts and rain pummeling her face, and managed to raise her wand. "Riddikulus!" Immediately the storm turned into a cheerful snow globe on the ground. Donella snorted, then laughed aloud, and the boggart vanished.
Herbology:
Donella looked at the thrashing plant for a minute, before casting a slowing charm. While the plant was unrestrained, it no longer had the speed to actually injure her as she carefully collected the pods. Once she had all of them, she stepped a safe distance away and freed the plant of her charm, before cracking open every single pod and removing the tubers to hand in to the proctor.
Healing:
Donella tended to the bleeding arm first, since the broken leg certainly wasn't going anywhere. "Wundus healiom," she murmured, closing up the cut. Then she examined the broken leg. "Osseo recifentes," she said, moving her wand in a circle above the break, straightening and repairing the shattered bone. Finally she approached the coughing patient. "Lungis clearus." The coughing slowed and then ceased after a few seconds.

Lydia Spencer's NEWTs (Taken Only):
Liddie flinched back from the heat emanating from the wall of fire, but pressed forward. "Flammus friggus!" She tentatively extended a hand forward, and smiled in relief when the flames were cool, rather than hot. Liddie swiftly passed through the fiery door and then blinked in surprise when the Jarvey started lambasting her appearance. After a few moments, she said sternly, "Silencio!" and the creature fell quiet. Next she considered the massive boulder, before banishing it with a calm, "Depulso." When she got to the egg, she smiled. "Colovaria!" It changed to a bright red.
Liddie cautiously approached the patient with the bleeding forearm. "Wundus healiom." The cut closed up immediately, halting the bleeding. Now she turned to the broken leg. "Osseo recifientes," she said slowly, moving her wand in a circle. This repaired the bone. Finally, she turned to the cougher. "Lungis clearus!" Their coughs slowed to a halt.
Liddie had almost been excited for this exam. She decided to cover 'This is the Night', although she thought it a bit unfair that the NEWT insisted on only using songs by magical musicians. She started to work on her sheet music, and very quickly finished that, and then went about charming the acoustic guitar, piano, and drums, as she was going for a slower, more quaint cover of the fast-paced rock song. When she was ready, she started the music, and to her satisfaction the instruments kept perfect rhythm throughout the song.

Treva Warlow's NEWTs (Taken Only):
Charms:
Treva rolled her eyes at the wall of fire. Oh no, whatever should she do? It wasn't like there was an incredibly well known spell just for this... Really, if someone couldn't even manage a flame-freezing charm, they didn't deserve a wand. "Flammus friggus!" When she came to the jarvey, she snorted. "******** you too! Silencio!" This was almost... fun. "Depulso!" She strutted past the vanished boulder, and over to the egg. Really? "Colovaria!"
DADA:
Treva thought the fact that they couldn't just get a proctor to stand-in to be disarmed was telling about the inherent laziness of these tests. "Expelliarmus!" She disarmed the dummy and then smugly confunded the next, before approaching the third dummy. As it raised its wand, she put up a quick shield, stopping the spell. Adrenaline pumping from that, she yelled, "STUPEFY!" at the next, toppling it over. Finally she came to the cabinet. Her painfully mundane, normal self slouched out, brown-haired and brown-eyed and painfully awkward, picking at her shirt. "Riddikulus!" Immediately, she was sporting a mohawk and fishnets. Treva burst into laughter, and the boggart disappeared.
Transfiguration:
Treva thought she should be excused from this exam, since she quite literally transfigured herself every single day. But whatever. Without so much as a word, she cast the human transfiguration spell and transformed her lower half into that of an acromantula, flexing her many legs and enjoying the expression on the proctor's face. Rather than two legs, she now had eight massive legs, covered in bristly hair. After a few minutes, she transfigured them back into her own, missing the height she'd just had already.

Callista Hargrave's OWLs (Taken Only):
Astronomy:
Venus is the second planet from the sun. It has the longest rotational period of any planet in our solar system. On Venus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. The planet is named after the Roman god of love and beauty, and is one of the brightest objects in the night sky. It is often referred to as Earth's sister planet due to the similarities between the two, although it is also the hottest planet in the solar system.
DADA:
Callista approached the rattling cupboard, steeling herself for the boggart inside. If she messed this up, she'd be mortified. Lisa stepped out of the cupboard, staring at her coldly. "This is your fault," the boggart said accusingly, "everything wrong with this family... it all leads back to you, Callista. I never should have taken you in. You're not worth the trouble. Ungrateful, spoiled little-," Callista raised her wand quickly, "RIDDIKULUS!" Her stepmother promptly turned into her own happily barking dog, Rose. Callista giggled, and the boggart fled back into the cupboard.
Transfiguration:
Callista frowned at the mewing kitten. She wasn't afraid she was going to inadvertently hurt it, but it did seem designed to tug on the heartstrings. Oh well. "Evanesco!" The little cat disappeared. After a minute or two, she summoned it back, and scritched it under the chin for its trouble.
DADA:
The legend of the Chamber of Secrets states that Salazar Slytherin left behind a secret chamber in the school containing a creature that would purge Hogwarts of muggleborn students. That creature would be as basilisk, which could only be controlled by a parselmouth, a descendant of Slytherin. The chamber was first discovered by Tom Riddle in the 1940s, who used the basilisk to attack muggleborn students during his time at Hogwarts. After that, it was not uncovered again until the 1990s, when Harry Potter killed the basilisk once and for all.
Wizard Law:
My client's use of underage magic did violate the Statute, but there are clear exceptions made for magic in the case of life-threatening situations. This was particularly well-established with the case of Harry Potter's use of Expecto Patronum against dementors in 1995. My client cast a stunning spell in order to defend themselves from a muggle trying to attack them. Had they not, they could have been seriously injured or killed, as they stood no chance against the man in a fist-fight.

Delphinia Meadow's OWLs (Taken Only):
Astronomy:
Neptune is the furthest known planet from the sun. It is seventeen times the mass of Earth. Of the gas planets, it is the densest. It is named after the Roman god of the sea, and noted for its bright blue color. Neptune is not visible to the naked eye, and was the only planet in the solar system to be discovered by mathematics, rather than observation through telescopes. It was first discovered with a telescope in the 1840s by Johann Galle.
Charms:
Delphinia almost laughed aloud. This seemed a little too simple. It was the first charm she'd ever learned. "Wingardium leviosa!" With a swish and a flick, the feather rose into the air and up towards the ceiling.
History of Magic:
Helga Hufflepuff left behind her goblet, Godric Gryffindor his sword (and the Sorting Hat), Rowena Ravenclaw her diadem, and Salazar Slytherin his locket (and a basilisk).
Transfiguration:
Delphinia knew she could perform the spell correctly, but that didn't mean she wasn't feeling a bit hesitant now. It was a bit morally dubious to perform magic on an innocent creature, and the fact that Blanchefleur had passed away the month before didn't help matters. She stroked the kitten gently before uttering, "Evanesco." After the proctor examined to see if it had actually been vanished, she summoned it back and scooped it up, cradling it to her chest, and walked out of the room with it.
Healing:
Finny carefully coated the wound with the provided ointment and then carefully wrapped it with the bandages, making sure it wasn't wrapped too tightly or too loosely, before sending the patient on their way.
Mythology:
Salazar Slytherin abandoned Hogwarts when he and the other founders, particularly Godric Gryffindor, could not come to an agreement over the admittance of muggleborn students. Believing students of muggle blood to be a legitimate danger to the school, he left behind a secret chamber that could only be opened by one of his descendants, containing an ancient monster, the basilisk, which could be used to purge the school of muggleborn students if the need ever arose. The chamber became a legend following his departure, and was only found centuries later by Tom Riddle, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin and parseltongue, who was able to enter the chamber and send out the basilisk to do his bidding. After the death of a muggleborn student, he sealed the basilisk in the chamber once more, until it was opened by the remnant of his spirit possessing a Hogwarts student in the 1990s. Harry Potter then managed to defeat the basilisk using the sword of Gryffindor.

Cadence Gregory's OWLs (Taken Only):
Charms:
Cady gave the proctor a 'really' look, before pulling out her wand. "Wingardium leviosa," she declared, almost mockingly, and swished and flicked her wand elaborately, sending the feather floating up in the air, approaching the ceiling.
Transfiguration:
Cady looked from the kitten to the proctor. "So.... I'm keeping this," she said in a stage whisper, before petting the kitten gently. "Evanesco!" It immediately disappeared, and after a minute she summoned it back, scooping it up in her arms and making its paw wave goodbye as she left.
Music:
Cady clapped steadily four times, then once, rested, clapped twice, rested again, clapped twice, then once, then four times, then once, rested, clapped, clapped again, rested, clapped twice, rested, clapped twice, and then clapped one final time.

Daniel Shepard's OWLs (Taken Only):
DADA:
DJ approached the cupboard warily, but held his ground as the boggart emerged, taking the form of himself as a worn down middle aged man, slumped in front of a television, eyes glazed over, scowling. Just like his dad. He sucked in a quick breath, and then yelled, "Riddikulus!" The image of his older self was replaced by a cheap dummy in the chair, and DJ started to snicker and laugh, vanquishing the boggart.
Transfiguration:
DJ raised an eyebrow at the kitten. "You know this is messed up, right?" he asked the proctor, and then raised his wand. "Evanesco!" He grinned as the kitten vanished, and then swiftly summoned it back, giving it a pat on the back. "Sorry bruv."
Cursebreaking:
DJ looked over the objects, then cast, "Scelestus Timor Deprehensio!" on each. The goblet shimmered, and he smirked and pointed (pointedly) at it, ignoring the proctor's exasperated nod.
Wandless Magic:
DJ outstretched his hand to a textbook. "Accio book!" It soared across the room and into his hand. Next he was presented with a candle. "Incendio," he pointed at it with a finger, and it lit itself. Finally he faced the proctor, who threw a jinx his way. "Protego!" It clashed against his shield.
