Three minutes, four minutes, two and a half minutes...
Groups of students entered the examination room, but no one could leave awake! The only difference between each group was the length of time they persisted.
The faces of the students gradually became ugly, especially when they saw the candidates who had entered the exam before them looking pale and leaving the exam room with a weary look. Everyone was even more nervous. Moreover, those who had taken the exam before were dismissed by Lu Ping as soon as the exam was over.
The professor left the exam room, leaving everyone in the dark about the specific status of the exam.
Of course, two of these people were very sober: Harry and Hermione. They could both guess the reason for the extremely low pass rate in this exam.
It's Tom. Professor Lupine added Tom to this exam!
After witnessing Tom's strength that night, Harry felt that it would be difficult for him to survive ten seconds under Tom's hands at his own level and that of other students.
But the strange thing is that the candidates did not disperse, but lingered around the examination room with pain in their faces.
Professor Luping was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Tom to be so serious and treat all the students who came over equally. Considering the physical and mental overdraft caused by the continuous fighting, Professor Luping could only say that he still underestimated Yodel.
classmate.
The only thing Lupine regrets now is not putting Tom in the last level, which resulted in some preparations not being used.
Looking at the progress, Lu Ping felt a headache: more than half of the students had participated in the exam, but no one had entered the final assessment!
According to the regulations, none of these people can get "excellent", but if they really cause an entire army to be wiped out, how can I explain to Dumbledore? Although I... can't break the rules.
If this continues, the only choice is to lower the scoring standards. Lu Ping sighed secretly.
"The next group, Padma Patil and...Hermione Granger!" Lupine's eyes lit up. Hermione's strength was as good as Tom's. If Hermione were to consume a
With Botom's energy, the passing rate of the candidates who follow will probably be higher.
However, is this unfair to those who took the exam first? This thought flashed through Lu Ping's mind, but he pressed it again. How can there be absolute fairness in this world? The exams of other professors cannot guarantee that a bowl of water will be equal.
Ah. Just like Snape, whoever he stands behind during the exam will perform abnormally. Where can these candidates go to reason?
Padma was very nervous when she was called. She took Hermione's hand and said to her tremblingly: "Boss, this is all up to you! I don't need to be excellent, just pass..."
Hermione had no choice but to keep comforting her partner, telling her "it's not a big problem", "be normal", "take a deep breath"... but it was obvious that these clichés were not very encouraging to Padma.
"It's okay, I'm very familiar with Tom's various spells." In the end, Hermione could only say this before trying to comfort Padma.
In fact, Hermione herself was not sure. She couldn't guarantee that she could defeat Tom in a battle with Tom's curse.
But Hermione didn't have a choice.
After putting on the bracelet, she set off with her partner Padma.
After entering the examination room, the environment suddenly changed. What appeared in front of Hermione and Hermione was a deep pond.
"Be careful, I doubt there will be a Grindylow in the pond." Hermione first picked up a stone from the shore and threw it in. The stone disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, proving that the water here is deeper than imagined.
.
When Padma mentioned Grindylow, Padma suddenly remembered the key points taught in class to deal with Grindylow: fingers.
"I hope there won't be murlocs." Hermione prayed. Fighting murlocs in the water is not a good choice, and murlocs have tamed Grindylow and kept them as pets, so murlocs are likely to
Will launch a coordinated attack with Grindylow.
Fortunately, Professor Lupine was still very "tolerant" to the third-grade wizards, and he did not stuff a few murlocs into the pond.
Hermione and Padma were only attacked by a few Grindylows on the way. To deal with them, a detachment spell could shake them off.
After swimming through the pond, the two came to a pothole.
"Fluorescence!" A beam of light emerged from the tips of their sticks, illuminating their way forward.
"Be careful!" Hermione, with quick eyesight and quick hands, gave Padma a hand.
"That's a mud puddle." Hermione pointed her wand at the place where Padma almost landed. The fluorescence dispersed the darkness, revealing the original appearance there: not a solid ground, but a pile of mud.
"Look." Hermione shook her wand, illuminating the ground in front of them. What appeared in front of them was a swamp, and with the environment of potholes, Hermione suddenly felt that not all of the people before were defeated by Tom.
of……
"There is a light over there, should we go and have a look?" Padma saw what seemed to be a light on the left front, so she suggested Hermione go over and have a look.
Hermione immediately thought of a magical animal: the hinkpunk. This animal is active in the swamp and has no entity. It looks like a wisp of smoke. It will light up a lamp at night and lure pedestrians into the mud.
Should we go in the opposite direction? Hermione began to struggle in her heart. Because this Xinkpunk may also be a clue left here by Professor Lupine. You need to go to it and solve a certain task before you can move on to the next one.
close.
Finally, Hermione made a decision: go in the opposite direction!
Because the light is right there, if the route in the opposite direction is wrong, just go towards that light.
After explaining this conjecture to Padma, Padma chose to listen to the big boss - if you hug your thighs, you must have the consciousness to hug your thighs!
The two of them walked hard in opposite directions. The further away from the light spot, the more Hermione's heart was shaken. At this time, the bell on Hermione's feet suddenly rang.
"Armor protection!" She quickly cast an armor spell on herself, and then there was a strong wind that cut through the air and a "bang" sound. Hermione felt that her armor spell was shattered, but the intruder
It was also ejected by the reaction force.
"What's wrong?" Padma looked confused.
Hermione raised her wand, and a dwarf-like guy appeared in Padma's field of vision. The monster also had a broken stick in his hand.
Hermione clicked her tongue, "It's Red Hat. It seems we may have overestimated Tom's strength."
She casually added a magic spell to knock out this guy who liked to sneak up on people with a wooden stick.
"I'll bet there's a bunch of red hats surrounding that hinkpunk - that kind of thing will attract other magical animals, and if we went there, we'd probably be knocked unconscious with sticks."
Uh-huh! Padma nodded repeatedly, feeling that she was extremely lucky to team up with Hermione!
After the two eliminated the red hat, they continued to set off.

The food for lunch is still the same, but the presentation is a little more exquisite. I don’t know when this kind of day will end...
