“So top grade's O for 'Outstanding,'" Hermione was saying, "and then there's A-" "No, E," George corrected her, "E for 'Exceeds Expectations.' And I've always thought Fred and I should've got E in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.”

“However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.”

“Expectations are made to be exceeded!”

“So after E, it’s A for ‘Acceptable,’ and that’s the last pass grade, isn’t it?”“Yep,” said Fred, dunking an entire roll in his soup, transferring it to his mouth, and swallowing it whole. “Then you get P for ‘Poor’ ” — Ron raised both his arms in mock celebration — “and D for ‘Dreadful.’ ”“And then T,” George reminded him.“T?” asked Hermione, looking appalled. “Even lower than a D? What on earth does that stand for?”“ ‘Troll,’ ” said George promptly.”

“Explore, experience, evolve, and exceed your expectations! - No Excuses!”

“Oh, come off it,” said Ron, striding over to her and whipping her results out of her hand. “Yep— ten ‘Outstandings’ and one ‘Exceeds Expectations’ at Defense Against the Dark Arts.” He looked down at her, half-amused, half-exasperated. “You’re actually disappointed, aren’t you?”
