Author’s notes: Set after the Battle of Hogwarts.  MoM = Ministry of Magic.  Oh, and Snape is alive because of course he didn’t actually die!  As for Lupin, well, it’s just not that easy to kill a werewolf without a silver weapon.

Walking back into Hogwarts to face the NEWTs examiners took a little more courage than Millicent liked to acknowledge.

Walking into the MoM to protest her failing the NEWTs required no extra courage; fueled by her anger, bolstered by the comforting presence of her former Head-of-House and Lupin at her side, Millicent strode proudly into the office.

Her angry words were not required.  Her only role that day was to assist Lupin in calming the Professor.  And a little damage control, although the desk and the filing cabinet were beyond saving.

Thanks to Snape, she did receive all six NEWTs.
