Chapter 606: Hermione and Elena
Hogwarts exams began as scheduled.
After breakfast, the first-year wizards followed Professor Flitwick to a large empty classroom.
On each table was a Charms exam paper, and next to the exam was a new quill dedicated to the exam, all of which had been cast with anti-cheating charms, and Professor Flitwick, as the invigilator, patrolling at all times.
It was the first time to experience such a formal exam, and many first-year students seemed a little constrained.
However, in Elena's opinion, in addition to the fact that she was a little uncomfortable because of the lack of air conditioning, the written exams at Hogwarts were not much different from ordinary colleges and universities—and on the other side, Hermione had already been seriously writing on the exam papers—Elena raised her eyebrows with interest, lowered her head and glanced at the first question above:
1) Write a spell to make the object fly;
2) Describe the action of waving the wand.
Not surprisingly, this is the exam paper that appeared in this classroom seven years ago. In other words, it happened to be the original question that the Hogwarts Class of 1991 did in their first year...... Elena smiled and began to write happily.
Poor Hermione Granger, she didn't even know that the bet was over from this moment on.
About a quarter of an hour later, while Ron Weasley next door was still biting his finger and wondering what other spell had a similar effect to the Descaling Charm, Elena suddenly raised her hand in the air.
"Hmm, Miss Kaslana, may I have any questions?"
Professor Flitwick walked over quickly, asking softly with some curiosity.
"I'm done. Elena raised the test paper in her hand, "Professor, while there is still a lot of time, why don't you give me the second, third, and fourth grade test papers together, and I will write them all together." ”
Squeak –
As Elena spoke, in front of the girl's right, the quill in Hermione's hand made a heavy ink mark on the parchment, and the tip of the pen pierced the parchment and rubbed against the table with a screeching sound that made people's teeth ache.
"Done, done?!"
Professor Flitwick's eyes widened in shock, and he stammered a somewhat repeated, subconsciously taking the test paper from Elena's hand and scanning it roughly, with his years of teaching experience, he had not found any errors or omissions for the time being.
"Hmm...... In that case...... Great...... Yes, yes - the test papers are flying!"
Professor Flitwick nodded, drew his wand and shook it slightly, and a parchment paper sealed under the lectern popped out, gliding like a light bird over the classroom and falling in front of Elena.
"This is the final exam question for the second grade Charms class, and when you finish this, I'll send you the third grade one. Don't be fast, remember to check when you're done, I'm starting to see if you can get another three O's (excellent)......"
Hermione turned her head in shock, her chair rubbing against the floor.
Wait, and then get three more excellent?
In other words, the first-grade test paper of the white-haired dango has been judged to be excellent?!
"Okay, then I'll start answering the questions. ”
Elena said with a sweet smile, blinking nimbly at Hermione, who was looking back at her not far away, and showed a playful smile like a little devil, silently making a mouth shape.
"A hundred times oh, a hundred times ......"
You know, when you think, millions of neurons in your brain relay information to each other.
These neurons consume about 75% of the liver's blood sugar stores and 20% of the body's oxygen consumption when they work every day.
After the calorie intake of butter and strawberry jam toast this morning, Elena Kaslana, who has entered a state of fullness, is a ruthless test paper harvester, and this amount of questions for eleven or twelve-year-old children alone is too little.
On the other hand, unlike Hermione's application for the exam, this exam has more meaning for Elena.
The most important purpose is to ensure that she can have the qualifications and voice to participate in the reform and replenishment of various courses in the school after the start of school next year - at least to prove that her knowledge reserve at the ordinary wizard level is qualified.
Therefore, during this time, she spent a lot of time consulting senior textbooks, memorizing Hogwarts exam questions over the years, seven sets of questions for one grade, twenty sets of questions for three grades, and hundreds of test papers with so many subjects.
After all, she wasn't sure if it would have to be this year's topic in the skipping test, except for the first-grade exam.
Fortunately, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a small number of questions in each paper, and there are many repetitive questions in previous years, so the actual difficulty of memorizing is much easier than Elena imagined.
Not to mention, with the transformation of Slytherin House, Elena's search for standard answers and understanding specific concepts has been greatly reduced, and all she needs to do is ask questions and memorize them.
After high-intensity tactical training, Elena can be regarded as a fourth-year Hogwarts student in terms of knowledge alone, and she is also the kind of honor student who has reached the full value in written test-taking ability.
This is not surprising, you must know that even a young wizard who has entered the fourth year is actually only fifteen years old.
In other words, these questions are actually equivalent to the magical version of the teaching content of "the sixth grade to the third stage of junior high school" - this stage of learning, in fact, is mostly pure memorization, with a small amount of understanding and practice.
As for the content of the Charms Practice Exam afterwards, there is not much to complicate in it.
After Professor Flitwick had put away the papers, he asked the little wizards to come up to him one by one to see if they could make a pineapple tap dance past a desk, something they had practiced many times in class, and most of the little ones had successfully cleared it...... Although Seamus's pineapple sparked at the end and smelled as if it had been roasted.
Towards noon, the first-year wizards came out of the Charms exam room one by one, taking small bites of the sweet roasted pineapples in their hands, and gathered around Elena and whispered the answers to the questions on the test paper.
In the presence of the whole class, Elena completed the Charms exam paper for grades 1 to 4 in less than two hours.
And from the news revealed by Professor Flitwick's words, she has probably locked in four excellent in advance, and compared to the two, Hermione Granger, who has only completed two papers in the first and second grades, is naturally not so eye-catching.
It's just that Elena knows very well that Hermione has actually completed self-transcendence now, which is much more powerful than in the original book.
Glancing at the girl who was biting her lip and leaving the Charms exam room with her schoolbag in her sullen arms, Elena casually pushed Hannah who was standing next to her into the crowd to answer questions after the exam, and she caught up with Hermione across the crowd.
Rather than answering questions from other little ones, it was obviously much more important to soothe a frustrated Hermione.
"Hermione, your pineapple tap dance is so pretty, it's so much more flexible than mine......"
"Ni Song Kai, I don't want to talk to you!"
"What do you think we should do for supper tonight with roasted pineapples? ”
"I don't want to eat!
"What about Macron with fruit filling? This time, I asked the kitchen to make black tea and raspberry flavors, and if the cream is cream, I will use forget-me-not flower cream, sprinkle with some crushed peanuts and white sesame seeds, it should be delicious. ”
“...... Hmm, don't use white sesame seeds. ”
“(? ̄? ̄?) Great!"
The friendship between the little girls is very simple, even if they occasionally contradict each other, but it is easy to get back together.
As Elena showed her desperate ability to take the exam, Hermione soon let go of her knots completely, no longer entangled in the fact that she had to defeat a certain inappropriate white-haired ball, and adjusted her mentality to face the next exam again.
The Hogwarts exam is not precise to a specific score, as long as she can get a full honor, in fact, it is exactly the same as Elena's score - anyway, there are still seven full years to go, and she slowly catches up, and she can always catch up with Elena.
After a hurried lunch, the first-year wizards, Professor Flitwick, were handed over to Professor McGonagall and taken directly to another classroom upstairs to take the Transfiguration exam.
As with the Charms exam in the morning, Elena and Hermione also completed their multiple tests during the exam time.
In practice, Professor McGonagall asked them to complete vertebrate metamorphosis, which is to turn a mouse into a snuff box – the more beautiful the box, the higher the score, and if there are still parts of the mouse on the box, points are deducted.
And of course, Hermione did a great job of completing the practical assessment.
As for Elena, she could only use her "dual" magic to create a vivid snuffbox illusion under Professor McGonagall's gaze, but fortunately, Professor McGonagall still gave her an excellent evaluation.
I don't know why, but every time Professor McGonagall sees her these days, her expression is much softer than before.
There wasn't much time to think about McGonagall's change in attitude, and the wheel-turning-exam schedule made Elena and the young wizards like marionettes, following the professors around the castle and completing the exams one by one.
After dinner, Professor Aurora Sinista announced the exam schedule for the astronomy class.
In the middle of the night they had finished their astronomy exams, on top of the tallest tower.
This was perhaps Elena's most painful exam, as she had to write according to standard answers in order to achieve a full honor, rather than the latest conclusions that had actually been observed in the astronomical community.
On the journey of the sea of stars, before you know it, the wizard has fallen too far behind.
