Summers in the UK are not very hot, but there is a large difference between day and night. This is especially true in the Scottish Plateau, where Hogwarts is located, where even a huge lake next to it does not adjust to the temperature difference between day and night, but instead makes the air humid very high. At night. Walking through the corridors of the castle felt clammy and cold. Fortunately, the house-keeping elves lit the fireplace early, which made the temperature in the common room pleasant.

"Isn't tomorrow an exam? I remember that most of the seventh graders at Gryffindor had signed up. Why is everyone so noisy tonight? Hermione had planned to take another look at the book when she got back from the library, but the noise of everyone around her made it impossible for her to read it at all.

"Because most people just sign up to see their level, and don't think they can pass the exam. Ryan shrugged his shoulders and crossed Hermione's shoulder, where he saw Harry and Ron playing the flying chess that came with the back of Muggle magazine.

"If they don't want to pass, then why are they taking the exam?" Hermione didn't understand the mentality of those people. "Shouldn't you go all out for every exam?"

"That's just what you think, Hermione. Ryan said a little helplessly, although Hermione has changed a lot, but there is one thing that has not changed. That's the truth on a lot of issues. But Ryan didn't think it was a bad thing, at least in his eyes, if even that changed, then Hermione wouldn't be her.

"At least students can pass this exam to get a rough idea of how good their level is. Ryan said. "I don't think Hogwarts is as good as those Muggle schools at this point. Muggle schools have all sorts of quizzes, mock exams to let students know what their current level is, but there are no such things in the wizarding world. In other words, all the students basically went to the exam in a daze after the review. ”

"And this exam is really an opportunity for people to test where their problems are so that they can do well in the next exam. That's why so many people take the exam knowing they won't be able to pass it. With that, Ryan spread his hands. "Besides, I don't want money anyway. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take one test and gain some experience?"

"Well, you can always figure it out. And I think you're right, Hogwarts is lagging behind when it comes to learning. Hermione closed the book, and in fact through the past few days of review and practice, she was fully prepared for the exam. It's just that out of habit, she still hopes to be able to review until the last minute.

After chatting, the two went back to their dormitories to sleep. The next morning, after breakfast, Ryan waited in the foyer with a large group of Gryffindors. Soon they saw the old witch, Professor March, and Dumbledore walking into the castle side by side.

"Albus, you look older, too. I still remember the radiant look you had when you were younger, and the amazing performance you had when you took the Transfiguration and Charms practical exams during the S-exam-"

"It's really a nostalgic youth, please go here Professor March. Dumbledore held out a hand to guide the witch in front of him. "We can go to the teachers' lounge for a cup of tea first, the students have just finished breakfast, and it will take a little time to tidy up the auditorium. ”

Watching the two old men leave, many people seemed slightly nervous. However, because the vast majority of people do not plan to pass this exam directly, the overall atmosphere is more than a year ago. The atmosphere during the LS exam is much more relaxed.

After scanning the hallway, Ryan noticed that almost all of the seventh-graders had come to take the test. Of course, this was to be expected, after all, when Voldemort announced the establishment of another Hogwarts school, the students who chose to stay here were actually choosing a faction.

Malfoy, for example, is now standing in the foyer preparing for the exam. For the Malfoys, now more than anyone else, they want Voldemort's defeat. Because if Voldemort doesn't fail, then they will definitely die as traitors on Voldemort's side.

Pansy Parkinson, who used to be by Voldemort's side before going to the house, was not on his side, and the Parkinsons were now Voldemort's core supporters, so Pansy took the Hogwarts Express back to London at the last choice. For the same reason, the usual Slytherin students such as Crabbe, Goyle, and Zabini did not appear in the foyer. To be precise, Malfoy was the only Slytherin student who came to take the test today.

"It was unexpected. Hermione whispered. "I always thought Malfoy wouldn't be coming to school this year, but I didn't expect him to be the only seventh year student left at Hogwarts by Slytherin. ”

"What's so unexpected?" Ryan glanced at Malfoy, who was still pale but looked much more energetic than last year. "I don't think there's a safer place in England at this time than Hogwarts Castle, where Headmaster Dunledore sits, and besides, as a family that puts the survival of the family first, in order to ensure the safety of the family's inheritance, they will not let the current head of the family stay with the future head of the family. ”

"It's the same reason why the President and Vice President of the United States are not allowed to appear on the same occasion, right?" asked Hermione.

"That's why. Ryan said. "Of course, it's because of this that I can believe that the Malfoy family is now on the side of the Mystic Resistance. This is not because they have a bright heart or are willing to fight for justice, but because they are calculated from the point of view of pure interests. After our last operation, the Malfoys had no choice but to ensure their family's succession. ”

"We should be thankful that the mystery man is a madman, or that he has become a madman after slicing his soul into pieces. It is much easier to distinguish between friend and foe now than it was in the previous war account. A smile tugged at the corner of Hermione's mouth. "Alright, it's time. I think it's time for the entrance exam now. ”

Ryan turned his head to look at the door of the Great Hall, which slowly opened inward. As with the last exam, the auditorium was filled with small tables for single people. But that time more than a year ago. The difference between the LS exam and the LS exam is that this time it is a special exam in an emergency, and there are many fewer people who take the .LS exam. So what was supposed to be a one-week exam was compressed into three days this time.

Therefore, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the first Charms class will be examined, and after the exam, you will take a 15-minute break to take the second Transfiguration exam. This kind of exam arrangement gives Ryan a subtle sense of familiarity, and he basically arranged the exam so intensively during the mock exam in the third year of high school in his previous life.

After flipping through the paper, Ryan found that the first question was to answer the spell that summoned water, while briefly explaining how the spell worked. It wasn't that difficult, especially since Flitwick punished Seamus for transcribing the sentence "I'm a wizard, not a baboon who swings a stick." This incident is still fresh in Ryan's memory. Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, leaned down and wrote on the test paper. By this time, Hermione was already working her own papers.

However, not everyone is as fluent as them, and it can even be said that there are only a few people who answer questions as fluently as they are. Most of the people in the exam room have been scratching their ears and cheeks or turning the papers around, making a rattling sound.

Overall, however, Slytherin and Ravenclaw students were better, and some Hufflepuff students were able to answer the questions seriously. The main people who couldn't write a word for a long time flipped through the paper were Gryffindor students and Hufflepuff students.

Finally, after more than four hours, this morning's exam is finally over.
