Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Baka to Test. Or is it Baka no Test? I've seen it both ways.

Anyway, enjoy!

Two days later, right before class started, a majority of the students arrived early, eager to find out their scores from the theoretical tests and to continue the practical testing.

When the time came, Sakamoto opened the door, giving the students an approving nod before ushering them inside. As they wandered in, they glanced at their seats to see that their tests were there, upside down.

"I've scored your tests." The professor announced, waving his hand towards them as he went to his desk. "Look them over for a few moments, and if you have any comments or questions, wait a few minutes until I call for them."

A few moments passed in silence as the students followed their professor's instructions, until a sharp gasp came from the back of the room.

"Professor!" Hermione cried out, staring at the Japanese man from across the room. "Why-"

"Miss Granger, another point for speaking out of turn." Sakamoto said, frowning at her. "I do believe I said to wait with your questions and concerns until I ask for them. Stay silent until I do so."

He really wasn't fond of the girl. She was arrogant, rude, self-righteous, and downright irritating. After the first class she had had the gall to come up to them and accuse four of her fellow classmates of cheating. He hadn't believed her for a second, and when he asked for proof, or even evidence that her suspicion was reasonable, she had huffed, crossing her arms, nose in the air, and saying that she was the best in the school, and they couldn't have possibly beat her at something.

He had glared darkly at her, tearing apart her argument ruthlessly, before assigning her a detention and telling her that her attitude would most certainly not be acceptable in the real world, and that she needed to grow up before she was torn apart.

Hermione glared down at her desk, as a few of her classmates hid their amusement. The bookworm may be the favorite student of some of the other teachers, but apparently not this one, and she wasn't doing anything to change that.

"Alright." The professor called out a few moments later, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet up on his desk as he looked over his students. "Questions?"

He glanced over the sea of hands, before gesturing to Susan Bones.

"What was the average score?" she asked curiously, glancing down at her own sheet. "Just to get an idea on where we stand amongst our classmates."

"Good question." Professor Sakamoto said with a nod, standing up and pulling up a blackboard. He drew an odd sort of diagram-two boxes, side by side, with a line going out on each side. "Can anyone tell me what this is?"

Lavender Brown raised her hand, and answered when he called on her. "I believe that's a box plot."

"Indeed. Would you like to explain how it works, since mathematics isn't part of the curriculum?" he asked, and Lavender nodded nervously, stepping up to the board so that she could do so easier.

"Well, on each end of the box plot-the far sides of those two lines-is the lowest and highest score. The line in the middle where the two boxes meet is the class average, and the outsides of the boxes are called the lower and upper quartiles, kind of the mid-point between the class average and the highest or lowest score, respectively."

"Excellent explanation, Miss Brown." Sakamoto said with an approving nod, waving her back to her seat. "Fifteen points to Gryffindor. Now, given that, a majority of you are between the lower and upper quartiles, with a few of you scoring higher or lower. I wrote down the scores associated with each part of the graph, so you can compare…" He trailed off as Hermione wove her arm through the air.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" he asked with a sigh.

"Sir, I think you may have marked my test wrong." She said with a frown.

"No, I didn't. You got the score you deserved." The professor denied.

"But-"

"No 'buts', Miss Granger." Sakamoto said with a stern frown. "Your scores for the multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions were correct, but your responses to the short answer and essay questions left much to be desired. I most certainly do not give fill points to those who merely spew out what they've read in a textbook. You repeated verbatim-which is plagiarism and would get you in a lot of trouble in the muggle world-and you expressed very little of your own opinion."

Hermione clenched her fists under her desk, fuming. Just who did this professor think he was?

"Fine." She bit out. "But you wrote my score as out of a hundred points, so why are there others with scores as high as three hundred?"

"Ah, you didn't notice?" the professor didn't look surprised. "Mr. Zabini, would you care to explain?"

"As the student completed what is initially shown on the test, more questions showed up." The Italian boy answered politely.

"Exactly." The professor agreed. "You probably didn't notice, Miss Granger, because you didn't prepare for the possibility. Instead, you managed your time exactly, and by the time you were finished, the time was up, and so you didn't have the opportunity to see the rest of the questions."

Harry grinned, pleased. He could tell from the 'box plot' that he had the highest score in the class for the written part, and was rather pleased, especially since he had managed to beat Hermione. Of course, given her reaction, he certainly wasn't the only one who had outscored her.

Hermione stiffened as the professor turned away from her pointedly, and the sea of hands rose once more. "Mr. Potter?"

"When do we get to see our results from the first part of the practical test?" Harry asked curiously, glancing at Zabini and Greengrass, who looked back at him with a grin and slight smirk respectively. The three of them were curious; they were more or less evenly matched for speed, but as for accuracy and power, they hadn't been able to tell.

"Oh, right." He muttered, waving his wand, and the results flew to those who had already taken that part of the exam. "I forgot about that yesterday. For the rest of you, I'll hand you your information after your session ends."

At the end of the period, Harry walked out of the classroom, happily talking to Zabini and Greengrass as they compared scores. It seemed that Daphne was fastest (except with the disarming spell, since that was Harry's specialty, Zabini had the best accuracy, and Harry had the most power.
