Chapter 80: Examination Week
Exam week has begun, and there is an unusual silence in the castle???? ?? ? ?en`org
The third-graders came out of the shapeshifting class at lunch on Monday, all of them disgraced and devoid of the spirit of walking, comparing their grades with each other and lamenting that the tasks they had been given were too difficult, including turning a teapot into a turtle.
Hermione fussed that the turtle she had conjured looked like a turtle, and that the rest of Gryffindor was so satisfied with her accomplishment that they generally found her whining annoying.
But the news that Vio's tortoise was as lively as if it had just been brought ashore from the water quickly spread among the third graders who had the last few Transfiguration classes in one class, so Hermione had to save a belly to talk to Vio over lunch.
Not only her, but everyone's understanding of the living habits and characteristics of the turtle reached its peak at this time.
At the dinner table, if you look for a third-grader next door, you can hear conversations like this:
"The tail of the turtle I changed is still a teapot spout, which is ...... hell"
"Do people think that turtles suck in water vapor?"
"My turtle still has a hard shell with willow leaf patterns, do you think this will deduct me points?"
In the afternoon, Professor Flitwick's Charms class exam was held, and as in previous years, it was really the easiest day for VIO.
Before the exam, Hermione brushed over her thick Charms notes as Vio spread the sand sauce evenly on each side of her bread.
In the end, she came to a conclusion that was more favorable to everyone: there was a good chance that Flitwick would test them on the Happiness Curse.
"Wait and see, compared to other spells, the Happiness Spell is currently the most suitable for the progress of the third year, and he has spent so much time explaining it"
"Okay, we'll just recite the spell and watch you demonstrate it, Hermione. Ron decisively interrupted Hermione's analysis of the basis for his guesses.
Hermione glanced at him unhappily, but didn't say anything more, and then, for the rest of the meal, she was desperately looking at the Muggle study of the book Vio glanced at her progress, and found that the last dozens of pages of the book were not a small contrast to the previous drawing of notes, and looked like they were empty.
The time of this class must have collided with Professor Snape's Potions class, and Vio took the time turner that Hermione used to deal with the time collision course, resulting in her being completely unable to take two classes at the same time recently, but fortunately, almost all the classes were halfway through at that time, and Hermione herself could end by herself at the end of the course.
Everyone hurried to lunch and went straight upstairs to take the Charms exam.
Hermione had guessed, and Professor Flitwick had tested them for the Happy Spell.
Harry had gone a little too far to dispel the nervousness, and his partner, Ron, had a final burst of hysterical laughter, and they had to take him to a quiet room for an hour until he could recite the Happiness Spell himself.
After dinner, instead of meeting in the common room, the students stayed in the auditorium, not to relax and chat, but to start reviewing the protection of magical creatures, potions, and astronomy.
The next morning, Hagrid presided over the exam for the protection of magical creatures, but he looked so preoccupied that his mind didn't seem to be on the exam at all.
He brought a large bucket of fresh Flober caterpillars to all the students and told everyone that in order to pass the exam, their Flober caterpillars had to be alive an hour later.
If left unchecked, the Flober Caterpillars multiply extremely quickly, so this is the easiest test they have ever passed, and it also gives Vio, Harry, Ron, and Hermione many opportunities to talk to Hagrid.
They tested potions that afternoon, and it was an absolute disaster.
Vio did his best to concoct a pot of chaotic potions, which the mouse used as an experiment sucked in and then danced on the cutting board.
Harry's mess was still too strong, and Snape stood by and watched, gloating.
Before leaving, he wrote a few words in Harry's notebook, which looked like a zero word.
Ron was still the same, no better than Harry.
Hermione and Draco went hand in hand as the students with the perfect potions.
At midnight for astronomy, everyone went to the highest building.
The History of Magic exam was taken on Wednesday morning, and Vio wrote down everything Florin had told him about the witch hunt in the Middle Ages, hoping to have a chocolate nut sundae ice cream in the stuffy classroom.
On Wednesday afternoon, you had to stay in the conservatory in the scorching sun, and when you returned to the common room, the back of everyone's necks were sunburned, and they were hoping that the next day would be almost over.
Thursday morning for Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, which was their penultimate exam excluding Hermione.
Professor Lupin's proposed test, which none of them had ever taken, was the most unusual: it was an outside, sun-lit, kind of obstacle coursework, in which students had to wade through a pond with Grindillowe, through a series of potholes full of red hats, creak through a swamp, ignore the wrong instructions from a Hinkpunk, and then climb into an old box to fight a new boggart.
"Great, Harry," Lupin muttered, as Harry laughed and climbed out of the box, "full marks." ”
Harry's face flushed with delight and he stayed there, waiting to see what the others were doing.
Ron had been great until he met Hinkpunk, but Hinkpunk's misguidance left him waist-deep in the mud.
VIO lingered for a long time, and finally reluctantly entered the box, and when he came out again, his hair became a pile of chicken nests, which made the whole class laugh a lot.
Hermione was invulnerable until she reached the box with Boggart.
After about a minute in the box, she rushed out screaming again.
"Hermione!" Lupin said, startled, "what's wrong?"
"Mai, Professor McGonagall!" Hermione gasped, gesturing to the box, "She, she said I failed all of my exams!"
It took a moment to calm Hermione.
Eventually, she was able to control herself again, and the four of them returned to the castle.
Ron still wanted to make fun of Hermione's Boggart, but the sight at the end of the stairs saved them from an argument. (To be continued.) )
