As if to celebrate the upcoming Christmas, the weather around Hogwarts suddenly cleared up, and the sky even showed a dazzling protein color.
When I woke up in the morning, the trees and flower beds in the yard were covered with a layer of shining white frost. The professors began to decorate their classrooms with their own magic. The castle was filled with a Christmas atmosphere, giving people a sense of The illusion of straying into a fairy tale world.
Once upon a time, the shadow that Sirius Black and the Dementors brought to Hogwarts was a thing of the past.
The students were happily discussing their Christmas vacation plans, and the notice to go to Hogsmeade quietly appeared on the notice board in the common room.
However, not everything goes as planned.
At the gathering of the Transfiguration Club, during a chat with Cedric, he learned that due to some reasons, he failed to make an appointment with Qiu Chang, and he was depressed about this for a long time.
"Since she is not free this time, let's do it next time, or the next time, or..." In Albert's view, since Qiu Zhang has made an appointment with a friend to go to Hogsmeade, he should make an appointment at another time.
However, looking at the shocked look on Cedric's face, he was probably declined.
"You really can't rush this kind of thing." Cedric muttered, then changed the topic and invited Albert to go to the library to study the borrowed exam papers from the previous year, as if he planned to devote all his attention to the upcoming O.W.LS exam. .
"Let's give it another day, I've been busy lately." Albert declined politely.
Albert already knew about the O.W.LS exam. He compared the key points he got from Isobel with the key points recorded in class, and he probably had a clear estimate of the scope of the O.W.LS exam.
In fact, most of the exam focus will not change. At most, it will just change the pattern.
As long as you can pass the practical exam, it is not difficult to get excellent results.
If someone knew what Albert was thinking, they would probably want to punch him a few times even if they knew he couldn't beat him.
When returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert found that Fred and George were not lazy, and actually did their homework seriously along with the others.
"We plan to go home for the Christmas vacation this year." George noticed the surprised look from Albert next to him and explained.
In fact, the Weasley twins are also very helpless. The academic pressure in fifth grade is too great. If they don't work hard on their homework, they are very likely to face the risk of being locked up.
"Have you heard? Stinson bought a large bottle of tranquilizers from Kenneth. The guy seems to be suffering from test phobia."
Li Jordan placed two cups of milk tea with a lot of sugar cubes in front of the twins. Ingesting a lot of sugar is helpful to stabilize emotions and maintain a good mood. This is what he learned from Albert.
"I thought you were not under any pressure."
Albert knew that Fred and George did not take the OW.LS exam seriously at all, and the two of them devoted most of their energy to the development of joke props.
"We really have no pressure, but like you said, we can't give up all the subjects. Otherwise, I doubt the school will ask us to repeat the grade and retake the exam. At least we have to pass the exam smoothly." Fred drank. Taking a sip of milk tea, he complained, "How much sugar did you put in it?"
"Don't you want more?" Lee Jordan said innocently.
"I have the key points here for the exam. As long as you master all these key points, it shouldn't be difficult to get a good grade." Albert always generously shared the so-called key points of the exam with everyone to help them easily get through the current difficulties.
"marvelous."
Li Jordan was the most excited one. After Albert returned to the dormitory to get his notes, he started taking notes frantically, preparing to find opportunities to memorize the key points. This was easier and more efficient than blindly reviewing by himself.
"Our requirements are not high, as long as you can pass most of the courses." Fred put down the quill in his hand, picked up a magic notebook and started to read through it.
"You really have nothing to pursue." Angelina was very interested in the content of Albert's review. The ow.ls exam is really important to everyone.
"Forget it, I think we should strengthen our strengths and get high scores as much as possible in what we are good at." Fred and George were not interested in taking notes from other courses. If they were memorized according to the key points marked by Albert,
Their spare time is simply not enough.
By strengthening the areas in which you are good at, you will undoubtedly be able to achieve better results in certain subjects. Even if you do not get excellent, you still need to get good.
In fact, after enrolling in September, Fred and George had subconsciously given up some courses, such as History of Magic, Astronomy, Divination and Care of Magical Creatures.
Their grades in the Care of Magical Creatures course were actually good, but Hagrid's performance this semester was so poor that they couldn't see the future of this course. In addition, Albert had already said that he did not plan to take Care of Magical Creatures next semester.
The Magical Creatures class was advanced, so the Weasley twins decisively gave up Care of Magical Creatures.
"You have given up completely enough." Albert was not too surprised. If it were him, he might do the same thing.
After all, I was already planning to give up, and how I did in the exam no longer mattered.
"You are so witty."
Lee Jordan's tone was a bit sour. He had the hardest time in the dormitory, and he wanted to give up those four courses, but he didn't dare to be as blatant as Fred and George, otherwise his ow.ls exam results would be
It's too bad, life will be very difficult in the future.
"If you give up all other classes, how many O.W.Ls do you plan to pass?" Shanna, who was checking the key points in her notes, raised her head and asked.
"Transfiguration, spells, herbs, potions and defense against the dark arts?"
“It’s good if you can pass three gates.”
Well, there is actually no difference between passing and failing. At least you need to be good before you are allowed to take advanced classes.
"I think our future lies beyond academic achievement."
"What do you mean?" Angelina asked.
"Like Wood, who is preparing to join the Quidditch team for trial after graduation. He puts almost all his attention into Quidditch training and doesn't care about the results at all." Fred shrugged, "We also have our own goals."
"Now that we have..." George noticed Albert's warning gaze and coughed slightly: "I mean, I doubt it is really necessary to complete seven years?"
"So, you don't plan to come back for sixth grade?" Aaliya thought it was ridiculous.
"We have definitely considered it," George said honestly.
"Will your family allow you to leave school early?" Shanna thought it was unlikely. It would be difficult to get over the hurdle at home.
"I don't know, we haven't discussed this with them yet."
Zannah's words obviously touched the twins' pain point, and it was obviously impossible for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to allow them to suspend school.
"Some interesting things will happen at Hogwarts next year. If you miss it, you will definitely be very sorry." Albert said suddenly.
"What's interesting?" Everyone looked up, obviously very interested in this.
"A feast." Albert said mysteriously, "However, I think it's best to keep it secret for the time being. Only when you know about it will you be surprised, just like the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts."
"I think you deserve to be beaten when you say something like this in the middle of your mouth."
Fred, George and Lee Jordan all rushed towards Albert, trying to use itches to make Albert explain the matter clearly, but the latter seemed to have expected it and got up and dodged.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the four of them packed up their homework and returned to the dormitory.
"We have something to discuss with you." Fred said suddenly.
"What's up?"
Albert put down the cup of hot milk he had just finished and looked at the serious Fred in confusion.
"Do you still need to use the Marauder's Map?"
"You want to give Harry the Marauder's Map?" Albert expressed their thoughts expressionlessly.
"As expected, I can't hide it from you." George nodded: "We do plan to give Harry the Marauder's Map as a Christmas gift, so that he can use the Marauder's Map and the invisibility cloak to secretly go to Hogsmeade Village and be imprisoned alone.
It’s so pitiful in school.”
"You are actually willing to give such good things to others." Li Jordan was a little surprised.
"We have memorized the exact locations of all the secret passages in the school," Fred said. "We don't need it anymore."
"We thought we should leave it to other people," George added, "just like the original makers of the Marauder's Map who left the map to younger students who liked to break school rules."
"Are you planning to drop out of school after getting the OW.LS certificate?" Li Qiaodan also felt that it was unreasonable to drop out of school now.
"If you can." Fred and George looked at each other, "Staying in school is a complete waste of time."
The two wanted to give Harry the Marauder's Map. In fact, they didn't use the map very much anymore. Moreover, they could also see that Albert no longer needed the Marauder's Map. He had already touched it.
Understand the principles of the Marauder's Map and be able to create something similar to the Marauder's Map.
Only Filch knows the location of the castle's secret passage, which is not a good thing for students.
Other students should be allowed to use the Marauder's Map for free... to bring more joy to the school. Those hidden secret passages should not be forgotten by people.
"Potter really needs this map." Albert didn't expect Fred and George to ask for his opinion first, and asked with a smile: "But aren't you worried that he will be in danger when he leaves school?"
"Because we are worried that Harry will be in danger, we are more concerned about what you just mentioned." Fred and George said in unison.
"I'm also very curious about what interesting things will happen at Hogwarts next year?" Lee Jordan deliberately said with a serious face, "Will you explain it yourself, or will we ask you to explain it."
Late at night, the sound of several people laughing and playing could be heard through the lighted windows. This chapter has been completed!
