N.E.W.T.S TBR

I took my O.W.L.S back in April and now it’s time for my N.E.W.T.S!

I have finally decided on a career as an Auror, which means I have a few more challenges this time around!

This means I have to get an O in Defence Against The Dark Arts, an E in Charms and Potions and an A in Herbology and Transfiguration. However, being a needy overachiever, I will be aiming for Os in all my subjects and even taking an extra subject of Muggle Studies.

As ever, this will be a working document that I will update as the month goes on and possibly add more challenges if I complete this mountain of a TBR!
