Chapter 434: The Exam Is Over
After the exams began, they were called into the auditorium according to the academy. By this time, the layout of the auditorium had changed, and it was filled with single desks and chairs for examinations, all facing the faculty desks at the end of the auditorium. The list of exam rooms appears to be random, probably to prevent cheating. When Ryan sat down in his seat, he found that half of the auditorium was already occupied.
When everyone was seated, Professor McGonagall, standing at the faculty desk, announced the start of the exam. Ryan immediately flipped through the test papers.
The first question, yes, the second question, the same - the last question, yes. Ryan found that the amount of knowledge he had accumulated before he knew it was considerable, and the questions were much simpler than he had imagined. After repeatedly telling himself to be careful and not to be proud, Ryan began to rustle on the test paper with a quill.
By the time he had finished writing it all, the sand in the hourglass hadn't even gone halfway. This made Ryan a little suspicious that he might have missed something, after all, in his previous life, he had heard of some people with insufficient IQ who did not find that there was a question on the other side of the paper.
After double-checking it, he confirmed that there was no problem at all, and the rest of the time Ryan had to spend the rest of his life in boredom. This exam is the same as the college entrance examination, and it is not allowed to leave the examination room early without special circumstances.
"It's a little easier than we thought," said Hermione, who found Ryan at the dinner table after the exam. Probably because of the two days of exams, lunch was obviously a notch better than usual, and Ryan was stuffing a piece of roasted fragrant lamb into his mouth as Hermione spoke. "I could feel like I got them all right, but I couldn't help but check them many times. And question 18, where I may have answered a little too muchβ"
"It's okay, you've answered well enough. Ryan interrupted Hermione's rambling as he swallowed the lamb. "So you hurry up and grab a bite to eat, there's a practical exam in the afternoon. β
In the afternoon, at the door of the small room next to the auditorium, Hannah Abbott, a member of the reading club and a Hufflepuff prefect, was the first to be called in to take the practical exam, and the round-faced blonde girl said depressedly: "I know that this is the case, every time I press the name, I am the first." β
The wait was the most torturous, and Hermione and Greengrass went in one batch. However, none of the students who finished the exam came back, so Ryan didn't know how Hermione did on the exam. While waiting, many people are still muttering incantations, practicing the movement of swinging the paralyzed cane, and sometimes accidentally poking others in the back or eyes.
Finally Ryan heard Professor Flitwick call his name. The examiner he was assigned to was a serious-looking gray-haired old lady with eyes as sharp as a falcon. Ryan immediately thought of Neville's grandmother.
"Please follow my instructions to cast a spell on this cup, and of course if you show off any tricks, it will give you extra points. As soon as he stood at his desk, Ryan heard the examiner announce the rules of the exam.
Ryan used the Silent Spell technique to unleash the Levitation Charm, the Color-Changing Charm, and the Growth Charm. When he was allowed to leave, he saw the examiner nod in satisfaction.
After a stressful evening, the next day's Transfiguration exam Ryan successfully passed, both in theory and in practice. For a high-level alchemist, the exam questions are even a little too simple. This was not the case for others, however, as Hannah was so nervous during the exam that she dropped her wand on the floor, resulting in several ostriches inexplicably conjuring up on the floor. It took people minutes to get these guys out.
The rest of the exams went smoothly, with Wednesday's Herbology passing with ease thanks to Ryan's natural magic abilities, and Thursday's Defence Against the Dark Arts class, where Ryan also received extra points for his Crab Flesh Patronus. However, this is not too noticeable, because there are more young wizards who can release the Guardian God of the flesh during the exams this year than in previous years.
However, Umbridge, who is a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, is not happy, after all, the Patronus is the nemesis of the Dementors, and all the Dementors in the UK are employees of the Ministry of Magic. In this way, the attitude of the little wizards towards the Ministry of Magic can be imagined.
After Friday's Ancient Magic Exam and a busy weekend, Ryan finished the Potions, Arithmetic, Magical Beasts, and Astronomy exams in the new week. Unlike in the original book, perhaps because the Weasley twins did not leave, there were not so many troublemakers in the school, and Umbridge naturally did not want to make a fuss at such an important moment and insisted on expelling the professor.
"I can finally give up arithmetic divination, magical beast protection, and astronomy. After returning to the common room after the astronomy test, Ryan said with a little tiredness. Even if the content of the exam is not difficult for him, it is inevitable that he will be tired after two weeks of exams.
Their final exam was the history of magic, which would not take place until the afternoon. Because this exam is only a written test. So Ryan slept the next day and didn't get up until nine o'clock in the morning.
When he went downstairs, he found that many of his classmates were reading notes in the common room. Hermione's three-and-a-half-foot-thick copy of the notes appeared in front of many of his classmates, but Ryan felt that if he hadn't studied hard before, it would be completely too late to look at these things now.
"Here, I've got some food for you. After taking a seat beside Hermione, she handed Ryan two sandwiches wrapped in handkerchiefs. "There's one more exam to be over, and I hope I can get a good score in this exam. β
"Absolutely. Ryan gave Hermione a big smile.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the fifth-graders walked into the auditorium and sat down in front of the upside-down papers. At this time, every student in the examination room was in a calm mood, because after a long preparation and continuous exams, this difficult day was finally coming to an end. As long as they finish this exam, they will be able to rest well and relax for a while.
Professor Binns, the ghost, also did not show up to accompany the proctor, and everyone was exhausted and just wanted to finish the long exam quickly.
"Open your papers. Professor Marchy said at the front of the auditorium as he immediately turned the huge hourglass upside down, "You can begin." β
The questions are not simple to memorize, such as the fourth question, in your opinion, did the Wand Ordinance contribute to or contributed to better control of the elven riots of the eighteenth century, which is much more difficult than the fifth question (how was the Secrecy Act violated in 1749 and what laws were later proposed to prevent similar situations from happening again?). Because this is a divergent essay question, there is no ready-made answer.
This kind of test questions are calculated with points, and the examiner will also give points according to the completeness of the points answered. There are not many questions of this kind, and each question needs to be supported by a large number of historical facts as arguments. Each question can be seen as a small essay.
Less than halfway through the answer, Ryan felt his head start to buzz. Fortunately, with perseverance, he finally finished writing the whole volume.
After finishing the papers, he looked up at the hourglass at the front from time to time during the inspection, and occasionally glanced at Harry sitting in front of him out of the corner of his eye. If he's not mistaken, in the original episode, it was during this exam that Harry saw Voldemort capture Sirius.
Now, Ryan's main concern was whether Harry would see anything more this time. Although according to Harry's previous dreams, Voldemort still prepared the prophecy orb in the Department of Mysteries according to the inertia of history.
But nothing happened, and after Ryan finished answering the last question about the expulsion of the giants, until the March class professor told all the students to put down their pens and start to roll up, nothing happened, and Harry did not receive the signal from Voldemort as in the original text, and naturally did not fall to the ground and scream as in the original text.
What the hell was Voldemort planning?Ryan frowned as he walked out of the exam room, looking out of place with the others. He found himself in a fog, and the unknown was extremely unsettling.
