After a moment of silence for the hitters who died heroically, Fred raised his head. "Hey, friends! This is the meaning of our work. The props we produce can help more soldiers return home safely.
.”
"Yes, you are right." Ryan nodded, and everyone else in the room also got rid of the suppressed emotions just now. "We need to make more props to make up for the gap between us and the group of dark wizards.
The gap between them. Well, take a look at the new things we made this week——"
In the following time, Ryan and the others showed some of their research results this week. After returning from the world of Faerun last time, they had a new understanding of the production of magic props, and also produced many magic props that combined the two worlds.
For example, among the new props displayed this time, a metal short stick that can release the Greasing Technique five times is included in the next batch of new products.
"Sometimes we need to make a trade-off between effect and cost." Ryan said to Hermione on the way back to Hogwarts Castle. "Like that Spider Mine can sell for one galleon and two Sickles purely because only the elite can
They know how to use these things, so as long as the product is good, those users will not mind the price. But most products are not like that. We must first consider the penetration rate, and then we can consider the quality of the product."
"It's just like the joke I read online about the Cullen family." Hermione said, "The quality of the products distributed by the U.S. Army through competitive bidding is generally not the best, but it must be the best among that batch of products.
Cheap."
"Our Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore are not as evil as the old American Department of Defense." Ryan smiled and said. "It's just that the price of magic props is closely related to the preciousness of its raw materials and the complexity of its production. Yes.
In order to arm more people as quickly as possible, we had to compromise with reality and adopt some props of lower quality, but this is better than having no props at all."
After discussing the news about the current situation, Ryan and the others returned to Hogwarts Castle. However, when they came to the corridor in front of the Gryffindor common room, they saw many seventh-grade students walking nervously.
Come and go.
"Oh, I was so busy right now that I almost forgot." Hermione reacted after seeing those people. "Today is the day when our test results came out last week. We should have read the results first before going to Hogsmeade.
of."
"Why did the results come out so fast?" Ryan was a little puzzled, so he asked when the door to the common room opened. "Didn't it take a month for our O.W.Ls results to come out last time? Why did the exam only take a week this time?"
Are you done correcting?"
"I'm not sure. Could it be that the professors responsible for correcting papers are much more efficient in this situation than before?" Hermione thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty.
"No, that group of people are not that hard-working. The reason for this fast is purely because there is only an exam, and the number of people taking the exam is even smaller than before." Ginny's voice came from the side. She just heard Ryan and the others talking, so
Answered Ryan's question just now. "In addition, most people did very poorly in this exam, and a lot of papers with seemingly D or T grades can be corrected very quickly."
"A lot of people got D or T grades?" Hermione asked with some surprise, "Everyone's level shouldn't be that bad, right?"
"You should be different from what I know." Ginny shook her head. "Harry got D's in two subjects, but he got an O in Defense Against the Dark Arts. My brother was far behind. He was in Transformation."
I actually got a T in class.”
"That's not my fault." Ron heard this and walked over. "I just heard someone say that one of the people who corrected the papers this time was our professor, so this time they corrected it more strictly than before."
"How strict?" Ryan was stunned for a moment before he realized. This exam is completely different from the past. Most of the people who choose to take the exam at this time will go to the battlefield after graduation. Therefore, the professors will naturally correct with the strictest attitude.
This exam is to try to ensure that everyone has enough ability to deal with various dangerous situations.
"Yeah, let's see how many tests you can take?" Harry also came over at this time and handed over the letter in his hand. "Your letter was delivered together with our letter. I think those owls are very tired.
Already."
"Let me take a look." Ryan took his letter and opened the envelope. The transcript was a small piece of parchment folded into a square. After unfolding the paper, Ryan found that his grades were different from what he had expected.
I also got straight O's.
"Ryan, what are your grades?" Hermione asked after reading her transcript.
"All my grades are O." Ryan waved his report card to Hermione. "What about you?"
"Same as you." Hermione waved her report card in the same way. "All my grades are O."
"Oh, this is simply -" Harry looked depressed next to him. "If I can do as well as you guys this time, I won't have to stay in Hogwarts and watch others fight."
"Stop talking nonsense, Harry." Ginny said next to her at this time. "You must be qualified to participate in battle. People who are not qualified enough will not only be unable to help everyone, but will even become a drag on everyone."
"Okay, you have a point." Harry looked at Ginny and forced a smile.
"And participating in this war does not require everyone to go to the front line to face Death Eaters or even mysterious men." Ryan said, "In this war, we need everyone to make their own contribution in their respective positions.
.Whether it is in the rear or on the front line. For example, you, Harry. I can only say that what you are doing now has contributed to the war no less than those warriors who faced the mysterious people and Death Eaters head-on."
"I - oh, right." Harry reacted immediately, "But is that thing really that important?"
"Of course, that magic is of course very important." Ryan nodded. "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Principal Dumbledore!"
Harry nodded and was about to say something when Colin Creevey suddenly walked in from outside the common room door and pinned a piece of parchment to the bulletin board.
"Tomorrow morning from 8 to 12 o'clock, all students who have passed the examination requirements in this exam need to go to the dean's office of their respective colleges to discuss issues such as graduation, leaving school, and their whereabouts after leaving school. Please do not miss the time." Ron
After reading out the contents of the notice, he turned his head and said loudly, "By the way, how many of us in Gryffindor have passed the exam?"
Instantly, the atmosphere in the common room darkened. Several seventh-grade students glared at Ron.
"Well, I shouldn't ask this at this time." Ron shrank his neck and stepped away from the notice board, and then whispered to Harry and the others. "It seems that everyone did not do well in the exam this time.
"
It wasn't until he went to bed at night that Ryan knew that only he and Hermione had passed this exam among the entire Gryffindor. As a result, the two of them should have plenty of time to talk with Professor McGonagall tomorrow morning.
