Chapter 639: Grades

After a moment of silence for the valorously fallen beaters, Fred raised his head. "Hey, friends! That's what we do. The items we have made will help more fighters return home safely. ”

"Yes, you're right. Ryan nodded, and the rest of the room shook off the pent-up emotions they had just received. "We need to make more props to bridge the gap between us and the Dark Wizards. Alright, let's take a look at what we've made this weekβ€”"

Over the next few days, Lane presented some of the week's findings. After returning from the world of Faeron last time, they had a new understanding of the production of magic items, and they also made a lot of magic items that fused the two worlds. For example, among the new items on display this time, a metal short stick that can release five greasy spells is included in the next batch of new products.

"There are times when we need to make a trade-off between effectiveness and cost. Ryan said to Hermione on the way back to Hogwarts Castle. "Like that Spider Ray can be sold for one Galleon or two Sico, purely because only the elite will use these things, so as long as the things are good, those users won't mind the price. However, most products are not like that, we have to consider the penetration rate first, and then we can consider the quality of things. ”

"It's like the joke I read online on the Cullen family. Hermione said, "The quality of the distribution products selected by the U.S. ** team is generally not the best, but it must be the cheapest of those products." ”

"Our Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore are not as immoral as the old American Ministry of Defense. Ryan said with a smile. "It's just that the price of a magic item is closely related to the value of its raw materials and the complexity of its production. Sometimes, in order to arm more people as quickly as possible, you have to compromise with reality and take some items of inferior quality, but this is better than no items available. ”

After discussing the news about the current situation, Ryan and the others returned to Hogwarts Castle. However, when I came to the hallway at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room, I saw many seventh graders walking around a little nervously.

"Oh, I almost forgot about it. Hermione only reacted when she saw the men. "Today is the day of our exam results last week, and we should have read the results before going to Hogsmeade. ”

"Why did the results come out so quickly?" Ryan asked, puzzled, as the common room door opened. "Last time we we. Didn't it take a month for the LS results to come out, why did this exam take only a week to complete the correction?"

"I don't know, could it be that the professors who are in charge of correcting the papers are much more efficient in this situation than before?" Hermione said after thinking for a moment, a little uncertain.

"No, those people aren't that hardworking. This time it was fast purely because there were only exams, and the number of people taking the exams was even smaller than before. Ginny's voice came from the side. She had just heard Ryan and the others talking, so she answered Ryan's question. "In addition, most people did very badly in this exam, and a lot of papers that seemed to have a D or T score were changed quickly. ”

"A lot of people have a D or a T?" Hermione asked, a little surprised, "Everyone's level shouldn't be that bad." ”

"You're not the same as I know. Ginny shook her head. "Harry got a D in two classes, but he got an O in Defence Against the Dark Arts, and my brother was so far behind that he actually got a T in the Transfiguration class. ”

"That's not my fault. Ron walked over. "I just heard someone say that our professor is among the people who revise the paper this time, so this time they are much stricter than before. ”

"How strict?" Ryan was stunned for a moment before reacting, this exam was completely different from before. At this time, most of the people who choose to take the exam will go to the battlefield after graduation. Therefore, it is natural that the professors will mark this exam with the strictest attitude to ensure that everyone is capable enough to deal with all kinds of dangerous situations.

"yes, let's see how much you can get?" Harry walked over and handed over the letter. "Your letter was sent along with ours, and I think the owls are tired. ”

"I'll see. Ryan took his letter and opened it. The report card was a small piece of parchment folded into a square, and when he unfolded it, Ryan found that he had achieved an all-O as expected.

"Ryan, what are your grades?" asked Hermione after reading her report card.

"All my grades are O's. Ryan waved his report card at Hermione. "What about you?"

"Same as you. Hermione waved her report card in the same way. "All my grades are O's too. ”

"Oh, it's justβ€”" Harry looked depressed on the side. "If I had done as well as you did this time, I wouldn't have to stay at Hogwarts and watch others fight. ”

"Don't be stupid, Harry. Ginny said at this time. "Participating in the battle is also qualified, and people who are not skilled enough will not only not be able to help everyone, but will even become a drag on everyone. ”

"Well, you have a point. Harry looked at Ginny and smiled.

"And to participate in this war, it doesn't take everyone to go to the front line and face the Death Eaters or even mystery people. "In this war, we need everyone to make their own contribution in their respective positions. Both in the rear and at the front. Like you, Harry. All I can say is that what you're doing now contributes no less to the war than the warriors who confronted the Mysteries and the Death Eaters head-on. ”

"I- oh, yes. Harry reacted, "But is that really that important?" ”

"Of course, that magic is of course very important. Ryan nodded. "Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Harry nodded and was about to say something when Colin Creevey suddenly walked in through the door of the common room and pinned a piece of parchment to the bulletin board.

"Tomorrow morning from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., all students who pass the exam requirements in this exam will need to go to the dean's office of their respective colleges to discuss graduation and where to go after graduation, so don't miss the time. Ron read the notice, then turned his head and said aloud. "By the way, how many of us Gryffindories have passed the exam?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the common room was quiet. Several seventh-graders glared at Ron.

"Well, I shouldn't have asked this at this time. Ron shrunk his neck and stepped out of the way, then whispered to Harry. "It seems that everyone didn't do well in the exam this time. ”

It wasn't until he went to bed at night that Ryan knew that he and Hermione were the only ones in the entire Gryffindor who had passed the exam. That way, the two of them should have plenty of time to talk to Professor McGonagall tomorrow morning.
