June is here, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and the days are getting longer and longer. The sun shines on the earth, making the lake, lawns and even the Hogwarts castle sparkle. But for fifth-year students
For them, this only means one thing: their O.W.LS exams are finally here.
Everyone was slightly excited for a day or two after the Quidditch match ended in the academy, but soon the pressure of exams silenced these fifth and seventh grade students again.
All professors no longer give them homework; except for Professor Binns, all other class time is used to review the questions that the professors think are most likely to appear in the exam. As for Professor Binns, since death cannot stop
He teaches, so of course he can't pass such a small O.W.LS exam. But everyone has learned to memorize some things to memorize or take a short break in his class.
Ryan and Hermione shared their notes with the classmates who came to inquire, which naturally gained a lot of favors. Especially among the members of the reading club who were facing exams, two people had notes. For them,
He said that the exercises in the book club enabled them to have no problem in the actual use of magic. However, they still need some extra help in memorizing certain text contents.
Many students showed strange behaviors. For example, Ernie Macmillan became more and more interested in asking about other people's revision time, while Malfoy boasted about their family's connections in public.
The same goes for Hermione. Ryan found that she often muttered something to herself now, and her long-term concentration on studying had messed up her biological clock. He could only take Hermione to the cafeteria to eat regularly every day and let her take a rest.
.Otherwise, she would probably have been using the nutritional supplements from the Radiation World that Ryan had given her before to solve the problem of eating.
Of course, as a magical world, many wizards try to use magical means to solve problems, such as certain magic potions. Ryan saw Edica Mitchell, a sixth-grade student from Ravenclaw, trying to sell it to Harry and Ron
A bottle of Baffy Refresher, and the two of them looked very interested, even Harry starting to fumble for his wallet.
"Two idiots!" Seeing this scene, Hermione put down her pen and walked over. This is what she and Ryan often do as prefects recently: confiscate those obviously problematic medicines. In the past two days, they have confiscated more than 30 bottles of so-called
Something that can help people concentrate, refresh themselves, and stay awake.
"Harry and Ron actually believe this stuff is useful." Hermione put the medicine on the table, and Ryan took it and smelled it, and immediately figured out what it was.
"Some kind of refreshing potion with a bunch of useless ingredients?" Ryan put the bottle on the table. "These Ravenclaws are at least a little higher than the guys in our courtyard. For example, they use dried and ground vixen."
The feces is pretending to be dragon claw powder. To be honest, dragon claw powder can indeed make people's memory very good for a few hours. But the price is that the brain will be in a short-circuit state from time to time for several days afterwards. If you use it too much, this short-circuit state will occur.
It will become a permanent problem."
"Yes, but there are so many people who want to buy it. It's really unfathomable." Hermione picked up the book again and started memorizing it.
Just like everyone exchanges classmate records before the college entrance examination, the Hogwarts castle is also full of feelings of separation. Especially for some seventh graders' junior lovers. For example, Ryan saw Zhang Qiu holding Cedry in the corner that day.
Cry.
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall, who is the vice-principal, informed everyone of the specific time of the exam and the specific arrangements during the exam. This is much looser than the college entrance examination arrangement. There are not exams every day. In the exam, all written tests
All are uniformly arranged in the morning, and practical operations are arranged in the afternoon.
Of course, the class teacher and school leaders spoke the same way before the college entrance examination. What was reiterated repeatedly was that cheating was strictly prohibited. Professor McGonagall repeatedly explained to every student how perfect the measures to prevent cheating in this exam were: "I must remind you that your
The most stringent anti-cheating spells have been imposed on the test papers. It is strictly prohibited to bring self-answering quills into the examination hall, as well as memory balls, removable cuffs and self-correcting ink..."
Of course, the effect of this kind of speech is not very good. Just like Professor McGonagall said, every year there are people who try to go beyond this rule to pass the exam, and their consequences are miserable. But these have nothing to do with Ryan, because he
All have been reviewed.
Finally, under Hermione's inquiry, Professor McGonagall told everyone that an owl would deliver the transcripts to everyone in July. Ryan felt that he might have returned from visiting his parents in China by then, otherwise the exam committee would probably
Find an owl that can fly long distances to deliver transcripts to yourself and Hermione.
On the last Sunday before the exam, Ryan spent an extremely fulfilling last day before the exam. After reviewing, he had nothing to do. He promised Hermione to help her review on Sunday. As a result, during the whole day, he released no less than fifteen lives to calm his emotions.
Magic. Because Hermione seemed very excited and restless during the review. She always took the textbook back from his hands to check whether her answers were correct, and even almost slapped Ryan in the face with the book.
But even with the help of magic, Hermione was still not very calm. Even Ryan, who was sitting on her left during the meal, could see her taking out a book to read. In the end, Ryan couldn't read it anymore and covered the book with his hand: "By the way,
With your current level, you can take the N.E.W.T exam directly. I estimate that you can get all O's. Eat well now. Otherwise, your stomach upset will affect the exam tomorrow."
After a few seconds of stalemate, Hermione took a deep breath, nodded and put the book away. Then she finished the entire meal absentmindedly.
While eating, Umbridge walked in very nervously with a small group of old wizards and witches. No matter how arrogant she was in school, she could only be respectful to these elders who had a transcendent status in the magical world.
Talk to them.
For example, old Gsilda March, whose face was wrinkled and covered with a layer of spider webs, repeatedly said that it was an extremely stupid thing for Hogwarts to let Principal Baddo leave. Umbridge was like
She looked ugly as if she had swallowed a big mouthful of foul juice, but she didn't dare to say a word. This made most of the students feel very relieved.
Think about it, he can be the invigilator for Dumbledore, who is now 112 years old, and he can still be the invigilator for so many years. One can imagine the level and connections of this old wizard.
Not to mention that these examiners are not even under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Magic. They have enough strength and connections to ignore the Ministry of Magic's instructions. For example, the examiners who invigilated Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts in the original text did not take into account the Ministry of Magic's intention to suppress Harry at all.
.So facing these people, Umbridge must endure all kinds of criticism. Otherwise, if she dares to talk back today, she will probably get out of the Ministry of Magic tomorrow, and even Fudge will not be able to protect her.
That night, most of the students who would take exams tomorrow lit up the incense they bought from the Weasley twins in the dormitory before going to bed. When they had breakfast the next morning, except for those who insisted not to follow the pure-blood traitors
Except for the Slytherin students who bought things from the Mudblood, most of the remaining students are in good spirits. According to Professor McGonagall, you are the best students who have taken the exam since I became a professor.
It seems that Weasley's Joke Shop is about to release a hit product, Ryan thought as he looked at everyone's status.
After eating, students from other grades went to class. The seventh- and fifth-grade students were milling around aimlessly in the hall. It could be seen that they were all flustered.
Ryan is a rare exception. Not only is he not nervous, but he also has the time to comfort acquaintances. This is normal. How can someone who has seen both the battlefield with thousands of troops and the Chinese college entrance examination examination room with thousands of troops stand before such an exam?
What about being overly nervous?
Finally, the time reached half past nine, and the exam was about to begin.
