Reina couldn't believe this. Not only did she have to take one elective she had to take two and the one she always taken didn't even have a prof. or sub. prof. Reina had to choose from the dreaded other's and what's worse Reina barely passed the others.
Reina knocked on the door and hoped there was enough groveling and butt kissing in her so she could at least graduate.

"Come in!" Becca shouted from inside. She was going over a number of rather poorly written essays and could honestly use the distraction. If this was the best the students could muster, she thought a Flobberworm review might be in order.

Reina walked inside and hung her head. Reina couldnt' remember if she had encountered the woman before and hoped if she had the woman had forgotten. Though it would be last year when she did.
"Prof. Davenport I have to ask you a very important question?"

"Ask away," Becca answered, motioning for the girl to take a seat. She gave her full attention to the Slytherin, wondering what this was all about. As far as she remembered, Reina wasn't in any of her classes... and not much of an animal person. What else the girl might need was beyond her.

Reina took a few deep breaths. She tried to gather her energy and confidence as she started to form the question in her head. Reina blurted out her question in one breath.
"Prof.DavenportI'mgonnafailifIdon'ttakeanelectiveandtheusualelectiveItakeisn'tavailbleand

Reina waited patiently for the woman toanswer her question.

Surprisingly enough, Becca understood what the Slytherin was trying to ask her. She wasn't exactly excited about the prospect of having someone in the class because they HAD to be, but of course, it wasnt' any different than most of the other students.
"How far did you get in my class last time?" she asked, not sure if the girl had even completed three years. "Did you take the OWL?"

{opps I should have translated. Still want me to translate?}
"I think I got as far as... OwL? I think so? Yes, I remember the OWL's."
Though Reina couldn't tell her how well she did. Reina was sure she was going to get an no. Her shoulders slumpped.
"Prof. I promise to at least get an A in your class. I'll study hard and I won't make stupid jokes. Please. I can't be held back, please!"

{no, I couldn't read it because it ended up on one whole line. I just split it up better  } "You took the OWL? And your score?" Becca asked with a heavy sigh. She only accepted Es and above in her NEWT course. She remebered the Slytherins' work in class and highly doubted Reina had gotten that good of a score. |

"Yes It was the least an A. Maybe even an O."
Reina knew she didn't do that well. Reina knew it was highly unlikely that she made the A, but she was sure she didn't do any less than an A.
"Please Prof. I need an elective and this is one I actually taken and know at least a little something about. I didn't realize I was going to fail without an elective."

"An A is acceptable, but not good enough to get into my NEWTs corse, Miss Diablo," Becca answered firmly, but kindly. "But if you are in such a need of an elective, I'm sure I can make room in my OWL course for you... with the fifth years."

Reina blanched. This had to be a joke or a mistake. She couldn't be for real. She just couldn't be. Fifth years?
"Fifth years?! Fifth Years?! No way. I can't. I'll be the laughingstock. I want to be in the NEWTS. What's gonna happen when I'm a 7th Year. Then I'll start the NEWTS? No way. I'll get held back for sure. I'll end up just like Jack!"

"You didn't make the acceptable grade on your OWL, Miss Diablo," Becca answered calmly. "You will need to take the OWL prep class again, retake the OWL, and then we can discuss the possibility of you joining the NEWT level class. If you work hard and keep up, there should be no problem."

Reina thought about it. Technically she was screwed; very screwed.
"So I take the OwL prep course again. Retake the OwL in a month or two and if I get an E then I can join the NewT classes that are already in progress?"
Reina wanted to know how long she will have to be in the lower grade. Hopefully not long at all.

"OWLs are given at the end of every year," Becca reminded her. "But we can see how well you do for a quarter and then discuss you joining the NEWT class for the last quarter. When your score comes in, we can make the final decision then."

Reina jumped up. That was better than she expected. She nodded her head and was going to hurry out before the Prof. changed her mind.
"Thank you. Thank you. You won't regret this. Thanks so very much."
Reina backpeddled and bumped into the door handle.
"Ouch! Thank you. Thank you."
Reina opened the door.
