Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:02

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to another episode of Harry. Sorry, I'm late at Harry Potter Podcast. It's me, Coda.

SPEAKER_06 0:07

And it's me, Alicia.

SPEAKER_03 0:09

And today we are here to talk about Harry Potter and their prisoner of Azkaban, chapter 16, Professor Trelawney's prediction. And Miss Mama was predicting some crazy stuff that she's allegedly not remembering. Harry said, What the hell are you on, lady? What are you talking about? Um, but it's also exam season finally at Hogwarts. The school year is coming to an end. So we're gonna get into all of that. But before we do, Alicia, how are you?

SPEAKER_06 0:32

I'm doing really good. Last night I celebrated my six-month anniversary with my baby, my boyfriend. So if we're still together, shout out Javier, I love you.

SPEAKER_03 0:45

I was screaming. What?

SPEAKER_06 0:46

He's still on season two, so you know he gotta get you.

SPEAKER_03 0:50

Okay, I got it, got it, I got it.

SPEAKER_06 0:52

No, I think I think he's the real deal. He got me such beautiful flowers. We went to this like brewery event, and then we went to a steakhouse. And when we got into a steakhouse, Shada, I love that place, but the entire restaurant was like foggy as fuck. We couldn't breathe. We're like, we cannot eat in here, but we'll we'll take the food to go. So that's what we did, and then we ended up watching Devil Wars Prada.

SPEAKER_04 1:19

Oh, perfect timing.

SPEAKER_06 1:20

Exactly, because the sequel's about to come out, I think this Friday coming up on May 1st. And they had mentioned Harry Potter in the movie, and that went over my head when I watched it before because I didn't give a fuck about Harry Potter. And now So like Miranda Priestley requires Ann Hathaway's character to get her the transcript of the manuscripts. Yeah, the manuscripts of the next book, the unreleased book in like one day, for her little twins that she has that are like bitches, man. But I I love them, they're sickening, sickening Neppo babies. And I was like, oh my god, they're getting the seventh book. Like, I'm gonna talk about this on the podcast. So that was really cool.

SPEAKER_03 2:01

At least, yeah. I don't know, like you weren't there in real time when the Harry Potter books were coming out. Neither was I. I was like very young, but like it was crazy how feverish the Harry Potter fans were at the time for each book's release. Like, obviously, we're reading it now with all the books coming out, so we can just go back to back to back to back. But imagine like going through the journey in real time with each book and having to wait for the release of each one. It was a very crazy time. Like, people were like, Yeah, so like the way that the kids wanted to get the next book so badly, and Miranda's like, honey, make it happen. Are you not gonna have this job? And and Hather's character had to like do all that to try to get it, like, is true to the time period. So it's very I love that they had that in there.

SPEAKER_06 2:44

Like, and that that movie, it really holds up.

SPEAKER_03 2:47

Timeless.

SPEAKER_06 2:48

I was cranking up when she said, Oh, make sure that you send me the car for the Mal Michael Kortz event at 9 30, and make sure he picks me up at 9 45.

SPEAKER_03 3:05

It's iconic. So many quotables, so many quotables. By all means, move by the glacial place. You know how that thrills me. That's like get her again. Whacker for me. Your toes of your incomp your toes of your incompetence, you're not something something. I'm like, there's just so many quotable moments. Like, I'm in I was in the camp of not needing the sequel. I was like, let's leave Well Enough alone. Like the original just stands up to the test of time. Great, we watched Value. Like, I and I love the way it ended. Like, they weren't like, you know, I just I I just thought it was the perfect movie. I was like, I don't I was very hesitant on a sequel because so many sequels of of movies that were originally so good just always fall flat for me. And then I saw the first trailer and I was like, what is going on? Like, does uh does Miranda Priestley have dementia? Like she's not remembering the girls, but she's like, Who was he, who was she? I don't know. It was just a weird vibe in that teaser trailer. Then the second trailer that came out that explored it, like showed a little bit more. It's like, okay, I'm starting to get it now. So I'm interested to see. I'm interested to see. I'll reserve any judgment until I see it. You know, I'm gonna see it the moment I can. I I tend to see movies very like as soon as they come out because I don't want any spoils or anything like that. But so I'll I'll see what I'll see what I think of it and I'll be back, I'll report back. But I'm excited for it. And it's promising that everyone, the original, all of the original casts came back. So I'm like, okay, if Merle Scoop is gonna do a sequel to a movie, it has to have some merit to it, a good storyline for her and stuff like that. So I'm interested to see what's about Andy's sex. That was Anne Hathaway's character. Yeah, Emily and Andy's Andy, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:36

So I wonder if the boyfriend's gonna come back because I haven't seen any of the trailers. I'm just gonna go Oh, perfect.

SPEAKER_03 4:43

Going blind. Yeah, good, good, good.

SPEAKER_06 4:45

If I go anywhere, it's blind. Like I don't do research, I just show up.

SPEAKER_03 4:50

Yeah, uh, the boyfriend. Oh, okay, I won't ruin it for you then unless you just watch it then. Okay, well, no, he didn't die, but he's not in it. Okay, so he's not in it.

SPEAKER_06 5:00

Okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_03 5:00

They weren't able to like work in mental stuff.

SPEAKER_06 5:02

My celebrity crush is not in the club. Adrian something. Yeah, yeah, Adrian. Well, and Hathaway is also my celebrity crush.

SPEAKER_03 5:12

We are queen, we are here.

SPEAKER_06 5:14

Back in the day with uh and I didn't even know I was by, but I was like, wow, she really is so pretty. Wow, I cannot stop looking at her. And then by the time Double is part, I said, Oh, I put this together.

SPEAKER_03 5:31

I love that, I love that, I love that.

SPEAKER_05 5:34

How are you doing?

SPEAKER_03 5:35

I'm doing well, I'm doing well. I recently took a trip to South Korea, which is partly to explain why the episode prior to this one we missed a week or whatever, because I was in South Korea and I had brought my recording mic with me, I brought my Harry Potter book with me. I was fully planning on us doing a recording session while I was in South Korea. But then, practically speaking, I was like, okay, I'm 13 hours ahead of Alicia. In order to find the right time for it for us both to be able to sit down and record, it just wasn't looking practical. And I was like, you know, I was hard on myself because I was really adamant on not missing a week. But I was like, Coda, it's okay. Relax your Virgo brain, your Virgo heart. It's okay if you miss a week to just enjoy being in the present moment of being in this new country the first time. And you're also doing a lot while you're here already. You just had a 15-hour flight, like it's just okay. So that's why we missed uh that week that we did. But aside from that, yeah, no, I was in South Korea. I was originally supposed to go with a friend, but they pulled out on me on the last minute, like later the day before. Yeah, later the day before they said that they didn't want to go anymore. They couldn't go, whatever reason. I'm not gonna get into that here, honey. Um, but and I've like solo traveled to places before, so it wasn't like a big deal for me to go by myself, but it was definitely it definitely started the trip off in a little bit of like a an a bad energy for me, but then I had to quickly pivot because I was like, you're not gonna go to this new country for the first time with you know that looming over you, so I think like a chip on your shoulder, yeah, exactly. So I quickly turned into an e-pre love situation and I had a great time. I went primarily for some cosmetic stuff, some medical stuff, and all that went swimmingly, went perfectly.

SPEAKER_06 7:17

Good.

SPEAKER_03 7:17

So if you notice any differences in my appearance, don't say that.

SPEAKER_06 7:20

You look very radiant. That's what I'll just say. Radiant.

SPEAKER_03 7:23

I appreciate that. Thank you. But aside from that, I was also able to do some leisure stuff, go do some sightseeing. Very beautiful country. It kind of took me by surprise because I'll just say, like, a lot of times there's certain countries that are um homogenous in terms of like the people, when they see people that don't look like them, especially in my case, black people, they're sometimes can have an interesting reaction, whether it be like intense staring or just outright like asking for pictures because they've never seen like a black person before, or like just different vibes. But I did not get that at all this time around when it comes to South Koreans. And I was taught that South Koreans are very like mind your business, stay to yourself type people. So like it was just it was a bit of a culture shock, but in a in a good way, they're very hospitable, very nice. All the people that I did interact with, they were very pleasant. So it was just an overall great trip. And obviously, like it's one thing to travel to a country where English may still be the primary language, or even if it's not the primary language, like the signage and stuff is in English or stuff like that, so you can still navigate. But when you're traveling to a country where even like the signage and stuff isn't in English, and you have to try to navigate around, it's like a whole different challenge. But it's cool that I was able to like handle that and like take that on. And I don't want to sound corny, but you know what they say like if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. It's kind of felt like that because I was navigating that public transportation, buses, trains, like you know, I was like, okay, this is this simple saying this or whatever, but there's apps you can use and there's guides and all that stuff. So I was able to navigate all that. But overall, I had a really great time, no complaints. I do plan on going again because there's a lot of stuff that I wasn't able to do this time around that I want to do in the future. I was only there for like three-ish days. So next time I have to go and enjoy more time there. But no complaints when it comes to South Korea.

SPEAKER_06 9:00

I'm really happy that you went and you still made the most of it. I am also happy that we delayed the podcast so that you could just be there instead of like being here and being there at the same time. And I remember you texted me like you had been out all day at one point.

SPEAKER_02 9:14

18 hours. 16 hours. 18 hours.

SPEAKER_06 9:17

You left the hotel and forgot that it existed and then you came back. It's like I could never Yeah, it was a loud.

SPEAKER_03 9:25

That was primarily because the hotel that I got was an airport hotel, so it was far away from all the sightseeing stuff. So if I was to like, I could have gone and came back, but that would have taken up so much of my day. So I just really just was a trooper and just stayed out until I was ready to come home and go to bed. But it was a long day. But you also get like a second wind and an energy when you're in a new country. I was like, because you want to see different things and stuff like that. So I was getting me coffees in between like all my outings and stuff like that, charging up my phone and just really making the most of it. But overall, yeah, like I said, I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I won.

SPEAKER_06 9:57

And you're gonna go back to South Korea.

SPEAKER_03 9:59

Absolutely. Like you had a great experience. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But uh there's so many other countries to see, so many other places to go. But I definitely think also, like, you know how people do like the European backpacking and then go to different countries in Europe at once. I feel like that's something similar you need to do with Asian countries, depending on what you want to do. Because it's such a long flight already, depending on where you're flying from. So it makes sense if you're gonna fly 15 hours to just go to that side of the world, like you hit up multiple countries at once, as opposed to like just one country or whatever. So it just depends on what you can afford and stuff like that. But yeah, had a great time. Had a great time. But I'm well, I don't want to say I'm glad to be back stateside because shit that's going on here, chat.

SPEAKER_06 10:38

And we're recording this two weeks in advance. So who knows in two weeks?

SPEAKER_03 10:42

Right, what's happening?

SPEAKER_06 10:44

Y'all can tell us what happened.

SPEAKER_03 10:45

Right, it'd be probably another assassination attempt, allegedly. But yes, okay. But now, without further ado, before we get into the chapter, let's do a whiz quiz. It's been a while. Are you ready?

SPEAKER_05 10:57

I'm ready.

SPEAKER_03 10:58

All right, okay.

SPEAKER_05 10:58

That's right.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Okay. Question number one for chapter 16, Professor Trelani's prediction. As always, make sure you play along at home and follow us over on Harry. Sorry, I'm late on Instagram, so you can play along if I ever do get around to posting some whisper over it there. All right, okay. Question number one. What does OWL stand for when it comes to exams at heart rates?

SPEAKER_02 11:25

What does OWL stand for?

SPEAKER_06 11:30

May I have the L and maybe the O and the W company?

SPEAKER_03 11:36

I was screaming. It stands for ordinary wizarding levels. Okay, let's try this again. Question number two. What two exams were Hermione scheduled to take at 1 PM?

SPEAKER_06 11:59

And not local studies.

SPEAKER_03 12:08

No, okay. Unfortunately, it was charms and ancient runes. Uh she was scheduled to take arithmacy at nine o'clock alongside transfiguration. How she's able to do it, who knows? Okay, okay, all right, okay. Which of Harry's classmates was told by Professor Jelani they have all the makings of a true seer.

SPEAKER_06 12:29

I'm gonna say Pavardi.

SPEAKER_03 12:31

Pavardi Patel is correct. And with that, that'll end. This chapter is whispered. We'll keep it short and sweet, honey. Let's just keep it, let's just end it on a positive note.

SPEAKER_06 12:46

I feel like you didn't let me reach like the next level. You're like, uh, and we're done. I love that. This is how we should have been operating the whole time.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

Oh screw. So without further ado, now let's show go ahead and just jump right on into Harry Potter and the Prison of Askaban, chapter 16, Professor Chelani's Prediction. So June had arrived at Hogwarts, and the summer weather season was in full swing. All any of the students wanted to do was lay out in the courtyard playing gobstones and enjoying iced pumpkin juice. But alas, alongside the nice weather, it was exam season at Hogwarts, and it was putting everyone through it. Fred and George had their OWL exams, their ordinary wizarding levels, while Percy had his newt exams, which stand for Nat'sly exhausting wizarding test. And the newts are the highest level and the most difficult of exams, and those are often needed for Ministry of Magic and other skilled employment post-Hogwarts. The person who was stressed the most about exams was none other than our girl, Hermione Granger. She's been stressed all year with her schoolwork, so it only makes sense for her to now be super extressed because it's exam time. Harry and Ron had given up on asking how she was managing such a full schedule, but they couldn't help themselves when they saw her exam schedule with exams from multiple classes being held at the same time. They ask, she snaps at them, they change and changes the convo, rinse and repeat. Like we know how her body gets out when it comes to her schoolwork at this point. Now, Head Vogina to the rescue. Hey Head Vegina, we haven't seen you in a while. Because at this moment, she arrives with a message for the trio from Hagrid letting them know that Buckbeak's appeal was set for 6 p.m. here at Hogwarts and that they were going to bring a ministry, a magic official, and an executioner. Now, much to the trio's annoyance, you're like, What? Bringing an executioner to an appeal basically says that they already made the decision. They're like, Oh, we're gonna hear your case and then we're gonna go ahead and pluck in that bird's feathers, anyways. Like, so that didn't make any sense to them. So they're Ron was just extra annoyed after having done such work on Buckbeep's appeal. There's that going on. Draco, on the other hand, he's pretty sub he was pretty subdued after his devastating loss to Harry in the Quidditch match. It must have been very embarrassing for him to not only cheat and play nastily but still lose in the end, anyways. But with Buckbeak's fate essentially sealed, he had a new pep in his step, and he he was very giddy over Buckbeak's fate. It took everything in Harry not to follow in Hermani's footsteps and give Draco a good one too when he saw him in the halls boasting. And I'm surprised Draco's acting like this because he must not remember what happened in the last chapter. Like, if I was you, I would not be acting like this with Hermione walking around. You might get another slap.

SPEAKER_06 15:27

Do you remember Harambe? Yes back in the day?

SPEAKER_03 15:31

Yes, rest in peace.

SPEAKER_06 15:33

Draco would be the kid that got bit, and Draco's dad would be the parent that made them execute the the animal for being an animal.

SPEAKER_03 15:43

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 15:46

Harambe should still be with us, and so should Bug be.

SPEAKER_03 15:49

Like putting that damn ape down is was crazy. Like you couldn't you re-home them to a different zoo. Like imagine being an ape minding your business, and some I don't remember the full story on that situation, but the kid fell into the entrapment.

SPEAKER_06 16:06

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 16:07

And the ape grabbed the kid and dragged him around.

SPEAKER_06 16:10

Dragged him.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

Okay, so you drop a little stuffed toy into my playpen and I decide to play with it. And now I'm getting killed and I'm being sedated and put down the fucking audacity.

SPEAKER_05 16:22

Like I thought it was time to rumble. Just send me to another continent. You don't need to take me off the planet.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

Oh my god. Crazy, crazy work. I I've never been a big fan of zoos and aquariums. Obviously, I went to them as a child and stuff, but like even present day as an adult, like I some of the whole animal enclosure and all that it just rubs me the wrong way. I can't I can't get into it as much as I used to, maybe once upon a time. But, anyways, yeah. So to make matters worse, with all the extra security measures around the school, Harry has like no chance of returning to the one out of which statue to retrieve his invisibility cloak so they could go see Hagrid. Remember, Harry had had to leave his cloak behind when he was running back to try to get back to Hogwarts before Snape caught him. So that cloak has been in that damn statue all this time. So and that cloak is like one of Harry's prize possessions. With that cloak, they were able to do almost anything at that damn school sneaking about. So he he needs that cloak. So exam week officially begins at Hogwarts with the third year, starting off with Professor McGonagall's transfiguration exams. One of their tasks being having to turn a teapot into a tortoise. Now, whereas most of the students came out of the exam discussing over lunch how some of their tortoise were still blowing steam, like kind of half teapot, half tortoise, or had a tail, Hermione was worried that hers was more of a turtle than a tortoise based on the shell pattern. Okay, Hermione. Like, Hermione, like you're talking about different, different breeds of the same species or whatever. Meanwhile, people were like still having their things blown steam and whatever. Like Hermione's going to Hermione. Okay. After lunch, they had Professor Flitwick's charms exam. And as Hermione predicted, one task was to cheering charm. Harry nervously overdid his, and Ron, as his partner, was cheering for an hour, so he had to be led away to a quiet room to settle before coming back to do it himself. After dinner, the trio went back to the common room not to relax, but to begin studying for their care of magical creatures class exam, the divination exam, and their astronomy exam. So like they are really locked in. It's exam season, it's time to get down to business.

SPEAKER_06 18:22

I kind of miss exam season.

SPEAKER_03 18:24

Girl.

SPEAKER_06 18:26

Okay. I mean, I guess it's been so long, so it's like there's like a rush of knowing it's almost over. And you just get into this drive where it's like, oh my god, I have to study and like lock in, yeah. You're pulling all nighters, you're locking in, you're like manically working out and like listening to something that may help you. And yeah, I don't know, reading this kind of made me miss locking in.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

Yeah, and it also is that like collective lock, collected locked-inness of everyone around you. Like our library, like McKelden, it would be packed, like all the tables full, like everyone studying, like at all hours. It would be like 11 p.m. at night, and it'll be full. Like I was never one of those like all-nighter people when it came to exams. Like, is at a certain point, it's like either I know it or I don't, I need to get my rest.

SPEAKER_06 19:10

Like, I did do like a 1:30 a.m. moment.

SPEAKER_03 19:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:14

But my roommate Erica, uh, she would not come home for like two days. She would come home, brush her teeth, leave again. I'm like, bye.

SPEAKER_03 19:21

It was never that serious, baby. I'm gonna get when I get on that day of school that exam.

SPEAKER_06 19:25

I'm gonna be um she would shower at the gym and then go straight to the library. Oh, bless her. Go to her classes, go back to the gym, go to the library. I'm like, wow.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

Bless those studio students, honey. It's a Capricorn. Yeah. I, you know, I actually did pull one all-nighter once for a paper that was supposed to be the final exam that I procrastinated on so badly. Like, I really needed the fire under my butt of needing to get it done. So I didn't start till the day before class. Alicia, when I tell you I didn't put the finishing note on it till like if the class was at eight, I didn't put the finishing dots on it till 7:30, and then I had to go to the library to print it to turn it in at eight.

SPEAKER_06 20:03

Running down the lot.

SPEAKER_03 20:05

Alicia, but when I tell you what did I get on that paper?

SPEAKER_06 20:09

An A.

SPEAKER_03 20:10

An A, like a 98 something. So it's either two things. It's either like either one, the teacher didn't really read it. Not like she probably just like skimmed it for like the thing, or I'm that bitch and I'm a scholar. But I it kind of gave me college as just a scam because like there's no way a paper that I did the night before on the whatever expansive topic I was talking about, or something related to criminal justice or whatever, it was worthy of an A. I was like, she didn't read it, or like she just, I was like, she just skimmed this shit. Something I was just like, this is a good thing. It is really high. Like, I said, that's crazy, but I said shit, I'll take it. Okay. But, anyways, yeah. So the next morning was uh the first exam up was a care of magical creatures exam with Hagrid, and it was possibly the easiest exam out of the bunch. Clearly, Hagrid was preoccupied with Buckbee's looming fates, as all the students were tasked with doing was keeping the flawberry worms that they were assigned alive for the exam hour. And as the flawber worms are, well, you know, worms, all they pretty much had to do was leave them alone. I said, in my mind, I said, Hagrid, maybe being a professor isn't the right career path for you, Papa.

SPEAKER_06 21:18

Like no, but he could be a teacher in Florida in 2026 because you got the right attitude past all these students and don't give a fuck about their education.

SPEAKER_03 21:28

Literally that. I said, you know what? I was rooting for you at the beginning. I said, let's see how this develops, but now that we've had the whole school year, as a Hagrid, yeah. But yeah, as yeah, okay. So yeah, so that was his exam. I said, okay, Hagrid, sure. But you know what that kind of reminded me of? In college, I had a an exam. I had a pro I had an exam, and the TAs were supposed to bring the exams to the lecture hall, but they forgot to print it out. Something, it was a mistake on their end. So we're like sitting around, the exam time block had already started, and we're like waiting for the exams. So the professor is like, you know what? This isn't on you guys. We messed up, referring to the TAs that didn't do what they were supposed to do. So, but you guys showed up ready to take your exam. So, what I'm gonna do is if you're here, come sign your name on the tennis sheet in the front and everyone leave you. I'll get an A. When I tell you, we were all like, What is happening? Like, there was no exam taken. We just had to come up to the front, sign that we showed up, and we got an A. I said, Oh my God. And it was for like a statistics class or something. So it was some like, you know, an exam that was probably gonna be somewhat hard. We said, Oh, we could not believe it. Everyone was talking as we left the exam hall. We were like, What? A like 100% A, like yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:48

Someone's ancestor made sure that that happened. Someone was praying the night before, like, please send me a blessing. I'm gonna fail this exam. They're like, don't worry, I got it.

SPEAKER_03 22:57

Literally, literally, someone's ancestor, but then also our professor was going to be with the ancestors soon because what okay? This isn't funny. I'll try to segue, but he had some type of like terminal illness or something. So I think he um he knew he was like on his way out. So it was it was partly like I can do whatever I want because I'm probably not gonna be here soon, but then also like let me bless these kids with one last like swan song type situation. So I think like a few like a month or two into the summer, we got noticed that he passed away or whatever. So shout out to him for like yeah, RFP, but shout out to him for like leaving us with that. But yeah, so yeah, that I that was a story. Yeah, that's one of my college experiences that I'll never forget. But, anyways, okay. Um, it's exam season of Hogwarts. I'm just being all rum nest up by college now. What can I do? Oh, okay. So, but yeah, so Hagrid and his flopper room exam, it worked in the trio's favor because it gave them time to finally speak to Hagrid about Buckbeak's appeal. All Hagrid told them was that Buckbeak was getting depressed, being chained up for so long, but one more day or so, and that would be that. So it seems like Hagrid has just made Hagrid has just kind of been resigned to his fate, even though he doesn't know at this point that Buckbeak is going to be executed, but he's just not very motivated about this appeal, especially with the fact that the executioner is coming as well. So, next, the trio has Snape's potions exam, which they had to make a confusing concoction. Harry had a hard time getting his to thicken, and as Snape observed, Harry could see Snape scribbling a zero on his sheet. So there's that. Snape's gonna snape. So they ended their Tuesday at midnight with their astronomy exam in the tallest tower at Hogwarts. So those are the three exams for that day. Wednesday morning, they had their history of magic exam, in which Harry conjured up everything he knew about medieval witch hunts, followed by their herbology exam in the hot afternoon sun. So that was Wednesday. Thursday morning, they had their second to last exam with Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, which turned out to be an obstacle course outside, covering everything that they have learned this year. They had to face off against Grindelo, Red Cap, Tinky Punks, and finally face a Bogger. I feel like Lupin, of course, just being a great professor, the great professor that he is. Like he is teaching his exam is based off of everything that they learned in real life application. Like his just seemed like the most, you know, the best out of all of them. Like, I just love that he like let them apply what they what they have learned all year. And Harry's good with his with his defense against the dark arts skills, obviously, having had to face off against uh Voldemort, the dark arts himself. So it's good that Harry excels in this one class. So I love that for him. But yeah, so Harry did good in Lupin's exam. Ron did okay, though he got caught up a little bit with the hinky punks. And Hermione was doing well until she reached the ball guard and she came out screaming, gasping for air, saying Professor McGonagall's name, and stating that she said she had failed everything, which I feel like rings true to Ron's earlier joke about what Hermione's barguard was in terms of like her feeling everything. So I like that he knows his girl. He knows that you know that's what your barguard's gonna be. It's like that you're feeling everything. But hermani also, like, come on, like you're such a great witch, like just no, it's not true. Um, but yeah. So after their defense against the dark arts lesson and Hermione calmed down, Ron was inclined to clown her some more, but was interrupted at the sights of the minister of magic, Cornelius Fudge, who greeted Harry with a hello. And Ron and Hermione are just looming in the background as they're not on the first name basis with the minister of magic, like the boy who lives. Like, I like that Harry just has that, you know. He's like, hey hey, Minister, how you doing? Like, I remember you like, yeah, from the beginning of the book or whatever. So yeah, I'm like, y'all better talk to Harry Nice because he knows people in high places. Like, who what other 30th students can say, yeah, I know the Mr. Magic? Like, yeah, we're on a first name basis. But yeah, so the Minister of Magic Fudge goes on to say, it's such a nice day. It's unfortunate he's here to uh under the circumstances of overseeing Buckbeak's execution. To which Ron jumps in to ask if the appeal has already happened, and the Minister of Magic is like, looks at Ron, and he's like, No. To which Ron replies, then you may not have to witness anything after all in that case, as Buckbeak might win his appeal. Before Fudge can even answer, the man from the committee, the disposable magical creatures committee, and the executioner walk up, and the executioner has a weapon in hand, like ready to chop. And Ron is about to say something, but is nudged by Hermione not to, as she reminds him his father works in the ministry, so he can't just be going off on Ministry of Magic officials on Buckbeak's behalf. Though Hermione is like upset, just as upset. Um, she assures them that as long as Hagrid keeps his head on straight and argues his case well, there's no way that they can execute Buckbeak. But her Harry could tell Hermione didn't believe what she assured them of, but you know, she's just trying to she's just trying to keep facing the moment. And I appreciate that, like trying to keep everyone's spirits alive and just keep a positive attitude about it, but sure.

SPEAKER_06 27:51

And good on Hermione for looking out for Ron's dad.

SPEAKER_03 27:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:55

That's like a true friend. It's like you also look out for the family.

SPEAKER_03 27:58

Absolutely. Like y'all need everything, y'all cannot, y'all can your father cannot lose employment. So please keep it cute when it comes to the Ministry of Magic. Okay, so Harry and Ron's last exam was divination and Hermione's muggle studies, because you know, child, she's not divination anymore. It's just crazy that she could just drop a class like so close to the end of the year, but whatever. So they went their separate ways. And when Harry and Ron arrived at the ladder to the divination classroom, Neville lets them know that Professor Trelawney will be seeing them all separately. The line to enter the divination classroom grew shorter as each student went in and out. All students eager to know what the exam was about, which is relatable. Um, but none, but none of the students that were coming out were saying anything, as Professor Trelawney had warned them that the crystal ball would reveal any cheatation of the situation. So I said, okay, fair enough. So she got them spooks, so no one's really telling them like what is going on in there. Neville specifically was told that if he said anything to waiting students, he would have an accident as he clumsily went down the ladder. Ron comments how convenient that observation is, knowing Neville, even saying her money may have been onto something when it comes to Professor Trelawney's bullshit, which I thought was funny. So after Neville and a few other students, Provati Patel comes down from her exam with Trelani saying she was told that she has the makings of a true seer as she's seen a load of loads of stuff in the crystal ball. So she's excited and runs off to go tell Lavender Brown. It's now Ron's turn, and so he goes in, leaving Harry last and by himself. 20 minutes go by, and Ron comes outside and it was all rubbish, and he couldn't see anything in the crystal ball, so he just made up some stuff. But Professor Trelani didn't seem convinced. And it's now Harry's turn for his exam, and Ron says he'll meet Harry back in the common room. Harry climbs up the ladder after hearing Professor Trelani call his name, and there she is sitting in front of a crystal ball, beckoning Harry to come sit down and gaze into the crystal orb and tell her what he sees. So Harry's looking and looking and looking and looking and looking at the swirling white fog child, and Professor Trelani's like, Well, what do you see? Mind you, Professor Trelani has a classroom the most uncomfortable it could be like damn near, it's possible like someone will pass out in these conditions. The room is hot as hell, the curtains are closed, there's no fresh sunlight, she has it all perfumed up with scents, hazy, it's just a mess. Harry's just thinking about what Ron said about just um making something up. And so he says he sees a dark shape, and of course he has buckbeak on his mind. So he's like, Oh yeah, I see a shape resembling a hippogriff. So of course, this gets Professor Shalani excited, saying Harry may be seeing Hagrid's dealings with the Ministry of Magic and the outcome, asking if the Hippogriff has his head, to which Harry answers, Well, yes. And Professor Trelani pressures Harry on this, like, Are you sure the Hippogriff's head hasn't been beheaded and it's like bloody on the floor? Look closer, like, look closer. Is that not what you're seeing? And Harry's adamant that the hippogriff's head is, in fact, still intact, and that it's fine, and it's actually just flying away. Professor Trelani sigh, seemingly unhappy with what Professor what Harry sees. I'm like, how are you gonna be mad at someone for what they're seeing in the crystal ball? Like, it seems like this exam is a very one-sided. Like, if you don't see what she is expecting you to see, then you're not gonna pass. So I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_06 31:09

But she knows Harry ain't shit. She's like, mmm, wrong.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

Right. So she decides to call it there, stating that she's sure Harry tried his best. Harry is like, thank God that's over, and grabs his backpack to go when all of a sudden he hears what's described as a loud, harsh voice coming from behind him that utters, It will happen tonight. I'm imagining Harry doing like a slow, like 180 neck turn to like, hold up, who the fuck said that? Because that does not sound like Professor Trelani. Um, so he turns around and sees Professor Chelani's gone like rigid in her chair, almost like possessed, like dis and like distant. Harry tries to get Professor Celani's attention, but she doesn't seem to be like present. Though she's like there, she's not like present. So Harry thinks to maybe go run to the hospital willing to get Madame Ponfree or just get somebody because Professor Chelani's like going through it right now.

SPEAKER_00 32:01

But then Professor Chelani starts to speak again, saying, The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these 12 years. Tonight before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

The dark lord will rise again with his servant's aid. Greater and more terrible than ever before. Tonight before midnight, the servant will set out to rejoin his master.

SPEAKER_06 32:39

And then she croaked.

SPEAKER_03 32:41

Then she croaked. Then she croaked. That was my reinterpretation. Then she croaked. So thank you. So Professor Trelani's head falls forward. She jolts a bit and then she comes back, raising her head to see Harry. It's almost as if she came out of like a dream like his or like some type of possession. Um, and she apologized to Harry, saying that the heat of the day must have gotten to her and she must have drifted off for a moment. Harry's just standing there looking at her like, this bitch is crazy. Like, ho, is you cool? Like, what's going on? And Professor Chelani's asking Harry if everything's okay. Like, why are you looking at me like that? And Harry's like, Well, you just said that the Dark Lord is going to rise again and that his servant's going to return to him. And Professor Chelani's like taking aback, was saying, like, uh, he who shall not be named is hardly anything to joke about. The part that gets me though is Professor Professor Chelani says, Next, rise again indeed. But then Harry cuts her off because he feels like he's being gaslighted. So it's it's it's as though like that part of what she said she agrees with, which I don't think Harry caught in that moment. You understand what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06 33:46

Rise again indeed.

SPEAKER_03 33:48

Like, is she saying like says the dark lord, he who must not be named, my dear boy, that's hardly something to joke about. Rise again indeed. But then Harry cuts her off and says, But you just said it. You said the dark lord. So rise again indeed is like, I don't know, it's saying like yes, he'll he will rise again. That's what I'm getting from that. So I just thought that was interesting that she said.

SPEAKER_06 34:08

Yeah, that was like a slip, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 34:10

Yeah, like a slip or something. Yeah. So I thought that was uh interesting. But Professor Trelani goes on to say that Harry must have dozed off too, because she wouldn't dare to predict anything as far-fetched as that, and she sends Harry on his way.

SPEAKER_06 34:24

I have questions.

SPEAKER_03 34:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 34:28

Out of all people at Hogwarts, if he's saying, Hey, I think I mean he didn't straight out say, I think you were just possessed by something, but he was like, Hey, you just said this, and she's like, No, I didn't. Wouldn't she know that? Oh, maybe there's a chance I was possessed, there's a chance something channeled my in my energy. Like, she just totally dismissed him as if he's kooky.

SPEAKER_03 34:50

Yeah, that's a good point. The seeing as she is a seer, like I'm sure possession isn't out of her realm of like skill sets or something that could happen to her. So you're right. Yeah, that's why I feel like Harry feels like he's being gaslighted because you can do all this other crystal gazing, and the fates are telling me this and that, and all this other shit, but like me saying telling you what I just witnessed in you, you're like, oh no, you must be kooky or whatever. Like, yeah. So it definitely feels like a little gaslighting going on.

SPEAKER_06 35:19

And Harry has all these like powers, he always hears voices, and people don't really believe him. Even his friends are like, Oh, you didn't really hear that.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

Yeah, the whole chamber of secrets of it all the time.

SPEAKER_06 35:33

The chamber of secrets with the tunnels, and he was right the whole time. So I guess we have to figure out what came over her spirit, or who came over her spirit, or how.

SPEAKER_03 35:47

What are your thoughts on what she said? Do you have any insights into any of that or any the number 12 is standing out? The 12 years.

SPEAKER_06 35:57

The 12 years, because serious black was in prison for 12 years, his scabbers is 12 years old. That's the second 12-year-old reference.

SPEAKER_03 36:10

His servant has been chained these 12 years.

SPEAKER_02 36:13

Chained.

SPEAKER_03 36:15

That seems like a serious black to me. The servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. Yeah. It's interesting. And it though, I mean, the glaring thing is as it says tonight. Like it's like, yeah, right now it's tonight. And when you look at the book, honey, we don't got much left to go, honey. So you know some shit's about to go down. So that's interesting. So we'll I guess we'll have to see how this prophecy or whatever she was yapping on about comes to pass. But Harry leaves and is making his way back to the Gryffindor common room, thinking to himself, if he just saw Professor Trelani actually make a real prediction for the first time, or if this is just her like cutesy way of ending the school year, who knows? All around him, students are headed outside to enjoy the nice weather as exams are finally over. Harry arrives at the end to the Gryffindor common room to round Hermione and is ready to break down what he just experienced with Professor Trelani, but that's all he could get out was her name because he's interrupted with the news that Buckbeak has lost his appeal and will indeed be executed.

SPEAKER_02 37:19

Buckbeak, Buckbeak, Buckbeak.

SPEAKER_03 37:22

Okay. So I feel like now, like the whole buckbeak of it all takes a more oppressing because like that's about to happen right now. So like he's like, okay, let's just put the Professor Jelani kookiness on the back burner for now, but let's see what's about to happen with Buckbeak.

SPEAKER_06 37:37

So Ron tells Harry Buckbeak has lost. Ron starts reading Hagrid's letter that he wrote to the trio, and it says, They lost the appeal. Buckbeak will be killed at sunset. Do not come. I don't want y'all to witness this. The boys knew that they would not be allowed to go to Hagrid's house, especially Harry that late at night. He's on very thin ice with Professor Snape and other professors around Hogwarts. But Hermione says, Well, I'm a different story. As in, I never get in trouble and I could go. And then she asks Harry where he left the invisibility cloak and how to get it. Once Harry tells her that it's behind the passageway that the one-eyed witch is blocking, she asks him, How do I get in? All he tells her is the sendium, and then she goes and she just says basically like I got this from there.

SPEAKER_03 38:42

She says, say less, gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 38:44

Exactly. Ron is at a loss for words. This woman has beaten up her classmate Draco, dropped divination class, made a huge scene about it, and now she's going on an off-limits pathway behind the teacher's back to sleep.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

The same one she didn't want Harry to use to go to Hogsmeet. She's like, Oh, that's where you left it, let me go get it, child.

SPEAKER_06 39:09

This is the same girl that was sitting on that rotating couch, book one, was like, Where the fuck have y'all been? You're supposed to be in here, and if you don't come back, I'm gonna tell them myself. Like, the tables have truly turned for her.

SPEAKER_03 39:23

Growth. We love to see it coming into her own, her womanhood.

SPEAKER_06 39:26

What's gonna go on in book four?

SPEAKER_03 39:29

Ciao.

SPEAKER_06 39:30

She's gonna become the new executioner. She's gonna have the axe in hand for the magical creatures.

SPEAKER_03 39:36

She'll be preoccupied with love. And not Ron Weasley. Okay, let me not let me not spoil it.

SPEAKER_06 39:45

It better not be Draco. It is. Damn, I've never heard any of this.

SPEAKER_03 39:51

I'm not saying I've got it.

SPEAKER_06 39:52

I've never seen a picture, I've never seen anything. Anyways, later that night the trio take the invisibility cloak, exit the grounds of Hogwarts, and head to Hagrid's cabin. They knock on the door and he answers, and of course, he can't see them, and they scattering scatter inside. Haggard was not crying like the last time they went to visit him about this bad news. At this point, Hagrid seems to be in like a disassociative state. Like he hasn't really accepted what's going on and he's not really present. And it feels worse than when he was breaking down crying over Buckbeat the first time. He tells them that Buckbeat is outside with the pumpkins because he just wanted his friend to have some fresh air before. Well, you know. Ron demands someone needs to do something about this. What is Dumbledore doing? And like Ron throughout this whole chapter has been very heated about Buckbeat. I think that Ron has a very good sense of justice, and it's important for him that things are right. I feel like that's a theme for him. And he's like, What about Dumbledore? Like Dumbledore is your really close friend, like what's going on? Hagrid says, Hey, Dumbledore tried what he could, but at the end of the day, Lucius Malfoy is such a powerful force at the Ministry of Magic, and just with this kind of crowd because he is so financially powerful, and he's also very like adamant about things. He's he's a force in the Hogwarts world. At least Dumbledore will be there for Haggard as a friend because Dumbledore will be coming tonight for the 86ing of his beloved animal. He tells Hagrid then tells the trio at this point, y'all gotta go. I don't want you here. This is not a place for a kid, and you know, thank you for coming, but don't let the door hit you on the way out. Hermione starts to cry at just the thought of how sad Hagrid's gonna be, and then also just the situation is such shit. She tried so hard to get Buckby not this outcome, and she worked so hard on his case just for it to fall through. It hurts, and then it hurts her as someone that loves Hagrid to see him this way. But she stops crying in a moment because she's somehow she turns her head to the right and she starts screaming. It's Scabbers. Ron is totally in disbelief. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Ron goes to pick up Scabbers in disbelief. And if Scabbers had looked bad on his last dying days that we thought, where his hair was all patchy and he was all skinny, he looks worser now. Patches of hair were missing, and this rat weighed next to nothing at this point.

SPEAKER_03 42:54

So he needs his rats on it.

SPEAKER_06 42:55

He does. Yeah, he hasn't been medicated all these days. Fuck. Scabbard seemed also really anxious to be in Ron's hands, and he kept wanting to break free. And Ron's like, Scabbers, come on now. Come on now. Scabbard's like, fuck you. I can't breathe. I haven't eaten in years.

SPEAKER_03 43:16

You left me to die. You left me to fat for myself. That crazy cat was trying to kill me, bitch.

SPEAKER_06 43:22

This is called PTSD. I'm triggered. Agrin looks out the window, and in the outskirts, he sees Dumbledore, Cornelius Vudge, and the executioner on the way to the house. Guys, you have to go back to school now. Get out of here. The trio witness Buckbeak looking nervously left and nervously right. It's as if he knew his days were numbers. He's just like Scabbers.

SPEAKER_03 43:48

Right.

SPEAKER_06 43:48

All these are shaking, shaking.

SPEAKER_03 43:52

No, Buckby said, wait a minute, not me. Not I, honey. Not me about to get turned into a bird's deal.

SPEAKER_06 43:58

What is an axe doing? Here on the premises, fuck no.

SPEAKER_03 44:02

Why am I chained up, bitch?

SPEAKER_05 44:05

I never told you I liked pumpkins. Why am I here?

SPEAKER_03 44:09

All because I sliced that damn rude blum bitch up at the start of terror. Like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_06 44:17

Um, right. And the trio says, Hagar, we don't want to leave you. But he forced him to get going. And the trio starts to leave, and they hear like a boo-boo-boo on the door. They're here. They're here for one mission to kill Buckbeep. On orders, of course. This could have been a really sad and tragic moment. But on their way out, Scabbers starts biting Ron's hand out of nowhere. Ron keeps saying, It's me, Scabbers, it's me. And Hermione's like, We gotta go, we gotta go. And Ron's like, but I can't hold him. In the background, they hear the unmistakable swing and then a thug of the axe. It's done. They did it, said Hermione. Ending credits.

SPEAKER_03 45:05

So ooh, buckpeak, buckpeak, buckbeak. I feel like we've spent this whole book ever since the whole Draco ordeal. We've had Buckpeak in the in our mind and him just like trying to figure out how to save him, and in the end, it wasn't able to come to pass. So it's unfortunate. Fuck Draco, fuck Lucius, fuck like it's truly a Harambe type situation. Like, you were given explicit instructions on how to deal with hippogriffs, and you did not abide to that, and you got hurt in the process. And instead of you just taking it on the chin and being a man about it, you like wanting to go bitch and moan and then ended up with this innocent bird losing his life. So that's that's unfortunate. And the scabbers of it all, like scabbard's coming out back into the back into the story after this whole I this whole thing of Quick Shanks allegedly killing Scabbers. So and what the fuck were Scabbers doing at Hagrid's? I don't know. So we'll see what happens there. We'll see what happens there. But yeah, exams are over at Hogwarts, school year is coming to an end, Bug Peak is dead, Scabbridge is back, Professor Trelani is uh predicting crazy stuff, resurrected. So I don't know if this is some circle of life type bullshit. One bird and one animal had to go for another one to come back, who knows? Um, but yeah, at least you have any final thoughts? We're we're reaching the end of this book, yeah. So what do you what yeah?

SPEAKER_06 46:31

If the kids sleep at Hogwarts, my sleep would be so disrupted because in this same chapter, you have me sitting for an ast astronomy exam at midnight, then I have an exam first thing in the morning, then I find out that my friend's creature is executed, then I find out that my friend's creature is back from the dead, and then you guys just expect us to rinse and repeat, and like these kids are going through so much at one time. I don't know how they're gonna figure all of this out. I would drop out right here, right now. Execution on the premises? I gotta go.

SPEAKER_03 47:14

No, no, literally, like traumatic ass. You mean the the same magical creature that I was interacting with during class? I'm now seeing slaughtered right in front of me. Like, what do you mean? Like, it's crazy. It's crazy work. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 47:29

Rereading this last chapter, did anything new kind of speak to you?

SPEAKER_03 47:36

Nothing uh right spoke to me. I thought it was interesting seeing professors reading Professor Strelani's prediction or her prophecy statement. So I think that's interesting and seeing how that will apply to the next few chapters. So I'm interested for us to read and discuss that. I also like just seeing the students go through the emotions of actually being students that is going through all their exams, studying for it, preparing for it, seeing how each class's exam was different and tailored to the class, the subject. I thought that was cool as well. But I'm glad that the school year is coming to an end and the students are going to be able to cut back, let loose a little bit. So we'll we'll see. We'll see, we'll see how things develop. We only have six chapters left of this story, Prison of Assembly. How are you liking this book overall? Like, especially if you're comparing it to the other two. Like, where does this land for you? You don't have the full story yet, but like I don't know. Yeah, where are you with?

SPEAKER_06 48:23

I think so far, Chamber of Secrets is probably my favorite.

unknown 48:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 48:29

And then immediately this one.

SPEAKER_06 48:32

So there's definitely room for this to be my favorite, depending on how this all ties together.

SPEAKER_04 48:38

Depending on how I finish it.

SPEAKER_06 48:39

Because the way the chamber secrets, Chamber of Secrets, when they pull that genie card, that's a fuck that was shocking. So let's let's see if they can do it again.

SPEAKER_03 48:50

Goofed and gagged.

SPEAKER_06 48:51

Yeah, I need to be gagged, JK. All right, and then you need to be gagged and that's good, that's good, that's good.
