By the end of the astronomy exams, the students were a little exhausted.

However, most of the young wizards did not immediately lie down in bed and rest after returning to their respective common rooms, but seized the last bit of time to review the content of Potions and Herbology.

The Potions class was scheduled for the next day, and the proctor was Snape, as well as ......

"Elena, you're an invigilator?"

Abbot Hannah's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the little silver-haired witch standing by the edge of her cauldron.

In the morning, the two of them were sitting side by side to complete the Potions written exam, who knew that it was only a lunch time, and when they reappeared in the Potions class, Elena would be the examiner.

"I've been teaching assistants in Potions classes since the beginning of this semester, and Professor Snape thinks it's better to share the ...... than let me waste Potions materials."

"Miss Abbot, please don't talk to the invigilators!"

Before Elena could finish speaking, Snape's voice drifted over the fog above the classroom.

"Also, please be aware of the invigilator as well! The Forgetting Elixir should not have been brewed yet, and I don't think you should forget the precautions I told me before the exam so soon...... You shouldn't have to make a sound to record the potion dispensing procedure, right?"

"Got it, got it. ”

Elena nodded helplessly, casually corrected the order of the potion materials that Hannah had placed on the table and was ready to put into the pot, and quietly gave Xiao Tie Niu a cheering look, and continued to walk around the classroom.

The practice of Potions class that afternoon could be said to be the most relaxing assessment for young wizards.

The "Potions Class Operating Specifications" and "Self-Inspection Management Specifications" that everyone had to memorize made these little guys extremely solid in practice, and even the slightly clumsy Neville Longbottom rarely made major mistakes.

On the other hand, compared to the seniors who had been frightened by Severus Snape's cold face, these young wizards had a good impression of this Potions professor who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside from the beginning, and was not affected by the outside world at all.

After all, there is no second professor other than Snape who will take them on an autumn trip to the Forbidden Forest during class time, and no professor will take the initiative to make borscht and grilled cheese snails in class in order to teach students...... Although Snape repeatedly insisted that this was just to prevent the little fools from wasting potions, or boiling out poisons.

"Look at your knife when you cut valerian, don't look at the crucible. ”

Snape stood behind Harry, pretending to be recording the boy's movements, his thin lips moving slightly and in his usual tone of disgust, like a whisper, "I don't want to take a finger out of the crucible for a while...... Take it easy, as you normally would—"

Due to Elena's appearance, Harry Potter apparently put more effort into Potions class.

At first, he was just looking for news of his mother, but with his excellent performance in Potions class, a positive cycle soon formed, and learning is just that, and when a person is interested, he also has talent.

On the other hand, when faced with Lily's children, especially those who also showed quite good potions talents, Severus Snape also went from initial resistance to a complex emotion.

After two semesters together, Snape still doesn't talk about James Potter, but when he privately tutors Harry about potions, he takes the initiative to tell Harry a lot of stories about Lily.

After going back and forth, in the face of his mother's childhood sweetheart, now the Potions professor and Slytherin head, Harry naturally became more and more respectful and close, rumors were unreliable, he only believed what he saw and felt.

Even in the early days, when Snape occasionally said something weird, Harry didn't care - according to Elena's eldest sister, it was simply because Professor Snape expected more of him than the others.

After being neglected by the Dursleys, Harry Potter cherished the feeling of being cared for, and whenever Professor Snape was around, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Therefore, Harry had already made up his mind to perform well in this Potions exam and not disappoint Snape.

By the time the exam was over, Harry had managed to become the first wizard to complete the Forgotten Elixir configuration, both in terms of completion and speed, ahead of Hermione Granger, who was considered second in the class.

Judging by Snape's expression, it was clear that everyone other than Harry was an E (good) at best.

This made the little beaver unhappy again, and he ate several ice creams in a row to vent his anger at dinner.

However, the next exam was completely reduced to the stage for Elena and Hermione.

Wednesday morning was a herbal medicine class.

In terms of theoretical knowledge assessment, Elena, who has a huge original question bank, naturally continued to maintain her advantage, and like all previous subjects, she completed all the test papers of the four grades in one exam in one go.

And Hermione Granger didn't show any weakness and ended the double test of the first and second grades just as well.

As for the competition in the greenhouse, it ended with Elena, who was amazingly physical, but it was a little surprising that Neville Longbottom and Hannah Abbott almost squeezed into the top two.

The History of Magic exam was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.

Having worked on the Hogwarts Calendar, Hermione Granger clearly had the ability to collide with Elena head-on in terms of memory of the content, which he did.

Instead of the first and second grades, Hermione chose the same challenge as Elena to answer the final exams for four grades at the same time, rather than just the first and second years she had planned.

As she finished answering the last question, "How was the Secrecy Act violated in 1749, and what measures were taken to prevent such incidents from happening again?", Hermione put down the quill in her hand, and quickly raised her hand after making sure that there were no omissions.

"Professor Binns, I'm done!"

At this time, Elena, who was sitting to her right, was still writing the exam paper, trying to complete her third-year history of magic paper, and the hourglass placed at the front of the exam room for timing still had a little more than a third of the time left.

Looking at Elena's long, slightly trembling silver hair, Hermione breathed a long sigh of relief

Finally......

For the first time, she defeated Elena Kaslana head-on......

The gap between the two is not as big as imagined......

"Tsk, it's really a calculator, it's just cheating!"

Glancing at the radiant Hermione next to her, the corners of Elena's mouth couldn't help but pull, so many times and events, normal people still need a process of reminiscence, and this little girl next to her directly looked at the question to complete the output.

The most important thing is that, thanks to the previous intensive process of transcribing documents, Hermione Granger's hand speed is significantly faster than hers, and if nothing else, this little girl's answers are probably even more accurate than her.

Elena shrugged as Professor Binns' ghost told them to put down their quill pens and roll up the parchment for their answers.

"Well, you've won this one. ”

"And one last course, Defence Against the Dark Arts, I can't win against you. ”

Hermione shook her head slightly, not looking too excited.

Her performance in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which focuses on practical magic, has always been less outstanding than in other subjects, and when it comes to theory exams, she has no chance of winning four papers against two papers.

Elena glanced at Hermione, scratched her cheek and said calmly.

"Oh, that class...... I didn't take the skipping test. ”

"Huh, aren't you the best at Defence Against the Dark Arts, I remember Professor Apokalis always thinking highly of you. ”

Hermione looked at Elena in some surprise and asked with a look of incomprehension, "Even your least favorite astronomy class, you have taken the written exam for four grades, why is it that Defence Against the Dark Arts ......?"

"Hmm...... Well, I just didn't apply for the exam anyway...... As long as you take two grades, you win. ”

In the face of Hermione's question, a certain half-breed little girl froze and waved her hand a little uncomfortably, not intending to explain too much - such a course with different questions every year, she was too difficult.

Although the person who wrote the question is now Grindelwald, if she went directly to Grindelwald to leak the question, Dumbledore would definitely know about it that night, then the test would be equivalent to a blank test, and it would not be recognized by the school.

On the other hand, Elena really didn't like the dark magic defense knowledge taught by the professors before.

She was actually more interested in how to effectively counter the Dark Lord's actions than how to effectively defend against the Dark Lord's actions, and the textbooks and previous exam questions did not include this content.

Of course, there is a more important reason - she has a more important task in the exam of this course.

Thursday morning, after the Defence Against the Dark Arts written exam ended.

With only one last practical exam left, the young wizards were visibly excited, and with just a few waves of their wands to complete Professor Apocaris' final exam, they were free to play for more than a week until the results were announced.

Many first-year students have begun to fantasize about how to indulge and watch the participants happily in the coming week. Seniors who have taken the LS exam, or seniors who have not yet completed the exam.

In this cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, Otto Apocalis, who was the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, led the young wizards to the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor of the castle, the edge of the corridor that was forbidden to enter.

"Professor, here's the ...... that is forbidden to pass"

Hermione timidly raised her hand and looked at the old wizard in front of her.

"Oh, that's right. That was a few months ago, though, but not anymore. ”

Grindelwald explained with a smile, nonchalantly pointing to the hallway of the black hole behind him, his eyes sparkling.

"The Defence Against the Dark Arts practice exams for the whole school are the same, work in groups of three, walk through this corridor and walk as far as you can to the room at the end - rest assured, the content and difficulty of the assessment are different for different grades. ”

"At the same time, depending on your performance, you will also earn some extra points for your respective houses. ”

"I'll explain the rules in detail, and as for Elena, you can go and prepare first......"
