          xxxASTRONOMY ~ Oxxx
              ■ Although learning about individual planets and their properties was a little boring, Taylor discovered that she absolutely loved making art around the solar system. Creating art around the topics they studied in class actually helped her learn and when it came to prepping for the OWL exam, she was more prepared than she realized as she had somehow managed to memorize a lot during her creative endeavours.

          xxxCHARMS ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every charm she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well.

          xxxDEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every spell she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well.

          xxxHERBOLOGY ~ Txxx
              ■ Taylor refused to get dirty and did not participate much, if at all, in class. Unsurprisingly, she did horrible on the OWL and would never have to take this class again.

          xxxHISTORY OF MAGIC ~ Txxx
              ■ Taylor didn't find the material interesting, and she did not pull any inspiration from learning about the history of magic. Her disinterest caused her to fail as she did not put any effort into studying.

          xxxPOTIONS ~ EExxx
              ■ Potions were fun to make, and her wand work sure helped when it came to properly mixing her ingredients. However, there was a lot of information when it came to remembering how many of what needed to be put into each one. Unfortunately she made a few mistakes on her exam but still managed to do well.

          xxxTRANSFIGURATION ~ EExxx
              ■ Due to being pretty good at wand work, Transfiguration wasn't all that difficult for Taylor to master (except for the more difficult spell work, which explains why she didn't do perfectly on the exam). When not in class, she used her skills in transfiguration to morph objects into other items that helped her set up photo shoots with her friends.


xxxE L E C T I V E Sxxxxxxxxxxxx

          xxxALCHEMY ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor found Alchemy to be similar to Charms, Potions and Transfiguration in terms of difficulty. However, the example she had to figure out in her exam was a bit easier than she was expecting, so she ended up doing very well.

          xxxARITHMANCY ~ Oxxx
              ■ No matter what anyone assumed about Taylor, she was actually pretty good at math. By helping her peers with the material, she was able to get all the studying she needed done and do very well on her exam.

          xxxART ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor loved art, particularly photography, and she was rather creative when it came to making it. Tapping into her creative side, and pulling inspiration from her peers in the Art club, she managed to create a phenomenal project for her OWL, which got her an O.

          xxxCARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES ~ Pxxx
              ■ In class, Taylor must have participated and learned enough to at least pass the exam, although not by much. She didn't like dirt and dealing with any messes that the creatures left, so she wouldn't. What she really enjoyed was snapping photos of the really cute, or really cool, looking creatures.

          xxxCURSEBREAKING~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every curse she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well.

          xxxGHOUL AND GHOST STUDIES ~ Axxx
              ■ Arguably a better class that Care of Magical Creatures as Taylor wasn't required to go outside whether rain or shine and risk muddying herself. Plus, she enjoyed doodling the various ghouls and ghosts her professor went on about in class, which helped her focus her listening on what they were saying.

          xxxHEALING ~ Axxx
              ■ Taylor's wand work sure helped with doing well in the class, but she found some of the more graphic injuries that she had to heal rather grotesque. She did well enough to pass the exam, but she wasn't planning on taking Healing again.

          xxxMUGGLE STUDIES ~ Oxxx
              ■ Although Taylor grew up in a wizarding household, she was a halfblood who grew up in a muggle neighbourhood and went to muggle school. For the most part, she hadn't learned anything that she didn't already know, and was therefore able to do very well on the exam.

          xxxMUSIC ~ Pxxx
              ■ Taylor can sing surprisingly well. However, playing instruments wasn't her forte, and she didn't care to learn. Although the Music professor had tried to push Taylor to try playing instruments, she refused as she claimed she was only taking the class for fun, and thus, failed her exam.

          xxxSTUDY OF ANCIENT RUNES ~ Axxx
              ■ Taylor found ancient runes more interesting than she had thought she would. Solving them was sort of like decoding cryptic messages and getting her nose into other people's (of the past) business. However, she hadn't spent enough time studying so she didn't do as well as she could have.

          xxxWANDLESS MAGIC ~ Dxxx
              ■ Unlike her wand work, Taylor's wandless magic could use quite a bit of help. It seems that no matter how much effort she put in, which wasn't all that much as she grew frustrated when practicing, she couldn't quite nail down her magic and ended up failing the exam.

          xxxWIZARD LAW ~ Dxxx
              ■ Taylor found Wizard Law almost as dry as the History of Magic. Her disinterest prevented her from sitting down and studying, so she ended up failing the exam as she was woefully under prepared.

          xxxASTRONOMY ~ EExxx
              ■ Taylor spent a lot of time working on creative artistic projects that showcased planets and stars. However, since she was more prepared than she expected to be for the OWL, she didn't study as hard for the NEWT, which resulted in an EE instead of an O.

          xxxCHARMS ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every charm she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well.

          xxxDEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS ~ Oxxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every spell she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well.

          xxxTRANSFIGURATION ~ Axxx
              ■ Taylor was pretty good at wand work but the intensity of the class seemed to increase in sixth year. She ended up struggling with the class and exam more than she thought she would, resulting in a lower grade than for her OWL exam.


xxxE L E C T I V E Sxxxxxxxxxxxx

          xxxALCHEMY ~ EExxx
              ■ Taylor found Alchemy to be similar to Charms, Potions and Transfiguration in terms of difficulty. The example she had to figure out in her NEWT exam was also more challenging than in her OWL. She did well, nonetheless.

          xxxARITHMANCY ~ Oxxx
              ■ No matter what anyone assumed about Taylor, she was actually pretty good at math. By helping her peers with the material, she was able to get all the studying she needed done and do very well on her exam.

          xxxART ~ EExxx
              ■ Taylor loved art, particularly photography, and she was rather creative when it came to making it. Tapping into her creative side, and pulling inspiration from her peers in the Art club, she managed to create a phenomenal project for her NEWT using photography. However, she wasn't the best when it came to using other mediums and therefore, did not score as well as she could have.

          xxxCURSEBREAKING~ EExxx
              ■ Taylor has incredible wand work and was able to easily master every curse she learned with only a bit of practice. Her inflexible wand makes aiming much easier as well. However, she hesitated when deciphering how to cast a few of them, resulting in an EE.

          xxxGHOUL AND GHOST STUDIES ~ Pxxx
              ■ Taylor mainly was lost in her own world, doodling the different ghouls and ghosts they learned about. But instead of listening in class, she spent most of her time day dreaming about a particular Slytherin student and ended up failing the class.

          xxxMUGGLE STUDIES ~ Oxxx
              ■ Although Taylor grew up in a wizarding household, she was a halfblood who grew up in a muggle neighbourhood and went to muggle school. For the most part, she hadn't learned anything that she didn't already know, and was therefore able to do very well on the exam.

          xxxSTUDY OF ANCIENT RUNES ~ Axxx

Solving them was sort of like decoding cryptic messages and getting her nose into other people's (of the past) business. However, she hadn't spent enough time studying so she didn't do as well as she could have.
