Summer in the UK is not very hot, but the temperature difference between day and night is very large. This is especially true in the Scottish plateau where Hogwarts is located. Even if there is a huge lake next to it, it cannot adjust the temperature difference between day and night, but instead increases the humidity in the air.
It became very big. Walking in the corridors of the castle at night, I felt clammy and cold. Fortunately, the house elves lit the fireplace early, which made the temperature in the common room become more pleasant.
"Isn't there a test tomorrow? I remember that almost all the seventh grade students in Gryffindor have signed up. Why are everyone so noisy tonight?" After returning from the library, Hermione originally planned to read a book again, but unfortunately everyone around her
The noise made it impossible for her to see through.
"Because most people just sign up to see their level and don't think they can pass the exam." Ryan shrugged, and over Hermione's shoulder he saw Harry and Ron playing "Look, This Is Ma"
The flying chess piece included in the back of the magazine "Melon".
"If it's not to pass, then why do they take the exam?" Hermione didn't understand the mentality of those people. "Shouldn't you go all out for every exam?"
"That's just what you think, Hermione." Ryan said a little helplessly. Although Hermione has changed a lot, one thing has not changed. That is, she is more truthful on many issues. But Ryan doesn't think this is anything wrong.
The good thing, at least in his eyes, was that if even this changed, Hermione wouldn't be her anymore.
"At least the students can get a rough idea of their level through this exam," Ryan said. "I think at this point, Hogwarts is not as good as those Muggle schools. In Muggle schools there are
Various basic tests and mock exams allow students to know their current level, but there are no such things in the wizarding world. In other words, all students basically go there in a daze after the review is over.
Take the exam."
"This exam is actually an opportunity for everyone to detect where their problems are so that they can get good results in the next exam. This is why so many people take the exam even though they know that they are unlikely to pass.
"At this point, Ryan spread his hands. "Besides, it doesn't cost money anyway. Isn't it a good idea to take so many exams and accumulate some experience?"
"Okay, you can always come up with reasons. And I think you are right, Hogwarts is indeed lagging behind in terms of learning methods." Hermione closed the book, and actually passed the past few days.
With the review and practice, she was fully prepared for the exam. But out of some habit, she still wanted to review until the last minute.
After chatting, the two went back to the dormitory to sleep. After breakfast the next morning, Ryan was waiting in the hall with a large group of Gryffindor people. Soon they saw the old witch.
Professor Marchbaan and Dumbledore walked into the castle side by side.
"Albus, you look older. I still remember your high-spirited look when you were young, and how stunning you were when you took the Transfiguration and Charms practical exams during the S exam.
The performance——”
"It is indeed a nostalgic youth. Please come this way, Professor March." Dumbledore stretched out a hand to guide the witch in front of him. "We can go to the teachers' lounge to have a cup of tea first. The students have just eaten.
After breakfast, it will take some time to tidy up the auditorium."
Watching the two old men leaving, many people seemed a little nervous. However, because most people did not plan to pass this exam directly, the overall atmosphere was more relaxed than the atmosphere during the O.W.Ls exam more than a year ago.
many.
After scanning the hall, Ryan found that almost all seventh-grade students had come to take the exam this time. Of course, this was expected. After all, when Voldemort announced the construction of another Hogwarts school, he chose to stay in
The students here are actually equivalent to choosing a camp.
For example, Malfoy is standing in the foyer preparing to take the exam. For the Malfoy family, they now hope that Voldemort will fail more than anyone else. Because if Voldemort does not fail, then they, as traitors to Voldemort, will definitely die.
.
Pansy Parkinson, who used to haunt Voldemort before, did not stand by his side. The Parkinson family is now Voldemort's core supporters, so Pansy took the Hogwarts Express the last time he chose.
Returned to London. For the same reason, the usual Slytherin students such as Crabbe, Goyle, and Zabini did not appear in the hall. To be precise, the Slytherin students who came to take the exam today were
Malfoy is the only one.
"It's really unexpected," Hermione said in a low voice. "I always thought that Malfoy would not come to school this year, but I didn't expect that he would become the only seventh-year Slytherin student left in Hogwarts."
"What's unexpected about this?" Ryan glanced at Malfoy, who was still pale but looked much more energetic than last year. "I don't think there is anywhere in the UK at this time that can be better than where Principal Dumbledore is sitting.
Gwarts Castle is safer. Besides, as a family that puts the survival of the family first, in order to ensure the safety of the family inheritance, they will not let the current head of the family and the future head of the family stay together."
"The same reason why the President and Vice President of the United States are not allowed to appear on the same occasion, right?" Hermione asked.
"That's why." Ryan said. "Of course, because of this, I can believe that the Malfoy family is now on the side of the mysterious man's resisters. This is not because they have a bright mind or are willing to fight for justice, but because
From a purely profit perspective, in order to ensure the family's inheritance after our last action, the Malfoy family has no other choice."
"We should be grateful that the mysterious man is a madman, or that he became a madman after slicing his soul. It is now much easier for us to distinguish between enemies and friends than it was in the records of the last war." Hermione raised the corner of her mouth.
He forced a smile. "Okay, the time is up. I think we should go in for the exam now."
Ryan turned his head and looked at the door of the auditorium, which slowly opened inward. Just like the last exam, the auditorium was filled with small tables for single people. But the difference from the O.W.Ls exam more than a year ago was that
, this time it was a special exam under emergency conditions, and there were far fewer people taking the O.W.Ls exam, so the exam that was originally a week was compressed into three days.
Therefore, at eight o'clock in the morning, he first took the written test of the first Charms course, took a 15-minute break after the test, and then took the written test of the second Transfiguration course. This exam arrangement gave Ryan a subtle sense of familiarity.
During the exam, the exam is basically arranged in such an intensive manner.
After opening the test paper, Ryan found that the first question was to answer the spell to summon water, and at the same time briefly explain the principle of this spell. This was not difficult, especially when Flitwick taught the lesson of clear water like a spring.
Seamus copied the sentence "I am a wizard, not a baboon swinging a stick." This incident was still fresh in Ryan's memory. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, leaned down and started writing on the test paper. At this time, Hermione was already writing on her own paper.
I've been writing hard and fast.
However, not everyone answers questions as smoothly as they do. It can even be said that there are only a few people who answer questions as smoothly as they do. Most people in the examination room have been scratching their heads or turning the papers over and over, making clattering sounds.
.
But overall, Slytherin and Ravenclaw students are better, and some Hufflepuff students can also answer the questions seriously. The main one who turned over the paper for a long time and couldn't write a word was Gryffindor.
Many students as well as Hufflepuff students.
Finally, after more than four hours, the exam this morning was finally over.
