Astronomy -A
-Rosa liked the stars just fine and even enjoyed when some of the stories intertwined with what she learned in potions or mythology. But it just wasn't something that could keep her interest past 27 minutes of studying (she knows because she timed herself). Plus it mean it gave her just enough to pass.
Charms ~EE
-Rosa enjoyed the different types of charms and it seemed like there was one for nearly every little weird thing she could think of, which was great! Which was not great were the essays. Thankfully all her practicing-both scholarly and supplemental-helped keep her grade up even when her essay was a tad lacking.
Defense Against the Dark Arts ~EE
-This was one of those classes Rosa took to heart a little too closely as the self-appointed back-up of her cousins and protector to her little brother and younger cousins. She didn't enjoy per se (....ok so the duels weren't not fun, sue her!) but she took the "defense" part the most serious. Maybe a bit too much seeing as one of her spells was a bit more overpowered and caused the proctor to need to change clothes. Still passed though!
Herbology ~A
-She was absolutely not like her cousins and aunts, she could barely keep her non-magical plants alive so the hope she had for magical ones were barely higher. It was only through the grace of a higher power (and Mea, definitely Mea) that she was able to pass this exam.
History of Magic ~A
-Rosa tried her best, she really really did. She did flashcards, study guides, book tabs, the whole nine yards! But between her already stressed attention span and the drollness of the textbook, she was ecstatic she just plain didn't fail out right.
Potions ~ EE
-Rosa actually enjoyed potions allot more than she'd originally thought given how piss poor she was at actual cooking. It took a while to learn the differences between the slicing and dicing but once she did, her grades just got better and better alongside the actual potions. She mixed up some facts regarding lizard scales on her essay but thankfully she still managed to pass.
-Transfiguration ~O
-This was one class that actually surprised her not just by how much she enjoyed it but also how good she was at it. Numbers had never been her thing with her synesthesia giving them odd hues and even sounds on occasion. But somehow this actually made understanding the equations and flow of magic that much easier for the class. She even didn't mind the essays! Between her unique understanding and ease of practice, she passed the exam with flying colors. (She also might've taken the cat but that was between her and the cat)
Art ~O
-Rosa was nearly certain she'd been born with paint already staining her in some way (and the fact that some of her baby pictures had paint stains was not helping it in any way) so it'd been nearly impossible for her to not enjoy art to some degree. Sure she wasn't as paint-ridden as her dad and brother could be but she'd unfortunately gotten her own set of bad habits regarding charcoals and paint markers, especially when she was working on a project, and on good days she would only find 3 pencils stuck in her head at a time. Between her practice and interest in its history, she managed to pass the class masterfully.
Care of Magical Creatures ~EE
- Rosa enjoyed being outside in a class where she wasn't afraid of either killing something by accident or falling asleep so she made sure to make the best of it. Most of the creatures being adorable in their own odd ways also wasn't a detraction. Passing the class and exam with minimal mistakes was pretty easy.
Divination ~A
- She took the class if only to understand her grandmother a bit more regarding her superstitious ways and honestly, it just made them more confusing. She did enjoy building her own tarot deck though, it was very pretty and possibly the only thing she really did "right" in the class. She passed purely on her effort which she'll definitely take.
Healing ~A
-Rosa had been convinced to try her hand at healing since it felt like someone close to her was always getting hurt in some way. Unfortunately for her (or maybe really her patients) she didn't really have the patience or the bedside manner for it. Apparently calling someone a brain dead d***o was not good for moral. Still passed though!
Music ~EE
- Taking the music class was sort of a given for her even if she did still have the tinsiest of stage frights regarding theater productions. It had taken her a while to figure out which instrument truly spoke to her but in her final year she'd gotten very well acquainted with the drums (she heard her dad blaming his cousin but Hera only knew which one he was talking about). Still, for only picking up the instrument barely a year ago she did pretty well on her exams.
Mythology ~O
-Rosa enjoyed being dramatic, thematic story telling, and creative art, something mythology had in spades! She took to the many stories and projects like a fish to water and didn't even think of studying as studying. She passed with near literal flying colors.
Wandless Magic ~EE
-This was a class she mainly took since it felt like everyone rather expected it. And don't get her wrong, she saw the reason for it but man the whole "centering ones self" had been wayyy more annoying than anyone had warned her about. Thankfully after a while, it had gotten easier and she was able to slowly get better and better at controlling her magic, however she still managed to mess up a bit in the practical which lowered her grade.
