Chapter 16 Final Examination

Since that day, there has been no news of the suspected Voldemort's Forbidden Forest unicorn killer, and Shana has not found any trace of the black cloak in the Forbidden Forest when she went out on patrol several times at night, and it is the same for natives like the centaurs, and if you are lucky, you will talk to you about whether Mars is bright or not, and you will encounter a direct PK that is not easy to talk to.

"No road race! No Road Race! No Road Race! It's too boring to look for this, just wait for Voldemort to come back to life and I'll cut it with a knife. ”

After not getting information several times in a row, and because of going out unattended at night, Hongzi got into a lot of trouble, and Xana had to stop this laborious and ineffective operation.

Harry was persuaded to be less excited, but he was still worried all day, and Shana's declaration of slashing Voldemort did not reassure him (Ron muttered that Shana didn't know how terrible the mysterious man was), and he had to listen to Lue's voice through the door every morning and evening to go to class or go back to the dorm to sleep.

Fortunately, nothing happened until the exams came, and Lu Wei lived a good life every day. Considering the exact information that a black-cloaked criminal hadn't been caught or had absconded, Xana felt that this was probably the last calm before the storm. Don't expect the final exams to cure Voldemort, they've been graduating for years.

In the midst of Xana's roadless impatience and Harry's panic, the final moment arrives, and in the stuffy room, the final exams begin.

"When it's time for the exam, please pack your desks, you must use the designated quill to answer the questions in this exam."

Before the rolls were issued, the teachers sent out specially made quills, and they were all recited with special anti-cheating spells. Got the pen, many students suddenly frowned, just a few days ago from the twins to buy the automatic answer quill pen this time is not used, most of the score to cup. In the following exam process, there were various other Weasley cheat props that were searched by the teacher from time to time and deducted points.

In addition to the papers, there are also practical exams.

Professor Flitwick's first-year exam was to walk into the classroom one by one and make a pineapple tap dance past a desk.

Professor McGonagall watched as everyone turned a rat into a snuffbox. The more beautiful the box, the higher the score, and if the box still has the whiskers of a rat on it, points will be deducted.

Potions was even more terrifying, and Snape slid around the classroom like a big bat watching everyone brew the Potion of Oblivion. Xana once heard a senior Ravenclaw in the library say that Snape was not a bad person (all Gryffindors would not agree with that), and that if a student made a mistake during a Potions exam, she would even kindly remind her that as long as she corrected it in time, the score would not affect too much.

However, after Xia Na's observation, she found that this kind of "kind reminder" is better not to. Snape did stand behind someone and snort when he made a mistake, whether it was a kind reminder or just a clumsy intolerable student, but the result of this behavior was to scare the unlucky guy into doing more and more wrong. Neville panicked and knocked over the cauldron due to the continuous cold snort, and was finally doused with a mistakenly brewed Forgetting Potion, and rushed to the infirmary, and it is estimated that when he was discharged from the hospital, the potion score was mostly a T.

When the last exam paper for the history of magic was taken away by the teacher amid cheers, Xana's first year of magic was over, and now she could go home with just another week of rest.

"It's a lot easier than I thought, I don't really need to remember the 'Werewolf Code of Conduct of 1637' and the ...... of the Elf Rebellion."

When she walked out of the exam room, Hermione was still checking the answers with Xana, and she always liked to revisit the exam after the exam. Ron and Harry, who had managed to escape the exam hell, ran to the lake and hid far away, they didn't want to relive that hell again.

"How nice, I don't have to review anymore."

Ron exhaled happily and stretched out on the grass by the lake, and Shana had planned to lay out a picnic basket to relax, but the Weasley twins, who were playing with the big squid, saw Shana and greeted Shana over.

"Hey, Xana, please come here."

"What are you two doing so mysteriously?"

The two guys winked their eyebrows, and Xana felt that it was probably fine.

"That's... Xana, can we pay our share later? Recently, the business turnover has been a bit tight......"

The battle between the twins selling cheat props and the teacher's anti-cheat is not optimistic this year, except for the history of magic, all of them have been wiped out, and the cheat props have either been cracked and confiscated or completely ineffective. Only by working with Xana did the memory potion that Ron helped to create succeed (Ron drank a special potion, and then the twins punched Ron with a book, and the contents of the book would be punched into Ron's head, and then the memory was pumped out with a wand and added another potion, and the configuration was completed to become a special memory potion).

So the problem came, those cheating props that were confiscated by the teacher were just that, but the return processing of a large number of auto-answer quill pens took up all the working capital, and I had to ask Xana to postpone the memory potion dividends for a while.

"I've told you long ago that those rags are useless, and it's backlogged now. For example, I can give you an extension until the start of the next semester at the latest, and you are not allowed to delay it any longer. ”

"Oh, little Xana, you're our angel!" *2

"Don't worry, Uncle Qian won't be in arrears for Xiaohongzi's milk powder next semester ......"

I don't know if it's George or Fred's guy who is making a fool of the red son, and he doesn't notice that Xana's face is getting more and more ugly.

"Hey, why all of a sudden... Ha, I'll just kidding... See you another day......"

Seeing Xana draw her knife, the two of them who knew it was bad immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and Harry and Ron were taught every now and then to let everyone know how brutal this seemingly wooden weapon was. Xana wanted to catch up and give the two unobstructed guys some color, but Harry, who was not far away, didn't know what was going on, and suddenly jumped up and ran wildly, and Xana had to let go of the mischievous twins first.

"What's wrong?"

Xana chased after her.

"I suddenly remembered something, we had to go to Hagrid right away." Harry said, his face turning pale.

"Why?" Hermione gasped and asked, trying to catch up with him.

"Don't you think it's a little strange?" Harry hurried down the grassy slope as he said, "Hagrid wants a dragon more than anything else, and a stranger happens to have a dragon egg in his pocket?" How many people walk around with dragon eggs all day long? You know, that's against the laws of wizards! Don't you think they're lucky to find Hagrid? Why didn't I think of this before? ”

As the group galloped to Hagrid's hut, Hagrid was sitting on a chair outside the hut, his trousers rolled up high, and he was busy peeling pea pods in front of a large bowl. Not far away, Hongzi was chasing and fighting with Yaya, to be precise, Yaya was whimpering and crying in front, and Hongzi was chasing after him with a wooden knife.

In the past few days of the exam, Xana couldn't bring Hongzi into the examination room, so she asked Hagrid, who always wanted to be close to Hongzi, to take care of her, and it seemed that she was really well taken care of, completely spoiled as a little princess, and it didn't matter if the unlucky dog bullied Hagrid casually.

"The exam is over? In the next few days, relax and exercise like Hongzi, you can see how much fun she has with Yaya! ”

Hongzi is very happy, but Yaya is not happy no matter how he looks at it.

"You talk, I'll go over there with Hongzi first."

Knowing that Harry was going to ask Hongzi about it, Xia Na took the red son away first, but the red son decided that he was born by Xia Na (Xia Na couldn't accept this setting, and tried to tell Sù the truth, but the red child cried all night with tears in her eyes, and finally had to change her mouth and admit that it was the egg she laid, embarrassed), in case the red child heard it, she had to make trouble.

Xana is teaching Hongzi how to bully Yaya more effectively for a longer time from a distance (Hongzi's method just now is too rough and direct, and it will be bad if he is killed), while pricking up her ears to listen to the conversation between Harry and Hagrid, and the detection system of the machine girl can fully capture the sound from such a distance.

Sure enough, there was no need to expect Hagrid to keep it a secret, and Harry could easily get the information from Hagrid that the three-headed dog was actually just a spectacle, a dog who slept with some music casually, and Mazi didn't call Mazi a pit man.

"It's really unreliable."

The information had arrived, and Xana instructed Hongzi not to take too hard of action and rushed back to the castle with Harry, and on the way Harry was silent and his face was ugly.

Walking into the hall, Harry suddenly turned to the crowd and said, "We must go find Dumbledore." ”

Hagrid told a stranger about how to subdue Louwe, and the cloak was either Snape or Voldemort—he could easily get his words out of his way if he got Hagrid drunk. I only hope Dumbledore will trust us. If Bane doesn't come out to stop him, Ferenze will testify for us. Where is Dumbledore's office? ”

"Of course it's good to leave the trouble to the principal, but who knows where the principal's office is?"

Xana agreed, but Hogwarts was no ordinary secondary school, and there was no sign telling students where Dumbledore's office was.

"We had to ......"

Before Harry could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the hallway.

"What are you guys doing in the house?"

It was Professor McGonagall, with a large stack of books in her arms.

"We want to see Professor Dumbledore..."

Harry and Hermione tried to convince Professor McGonagall to go to the Headmaster, but Professor McGonagall didn't want to hear about it, and she had time to think about it as well going out in the sun. Professor McGonagall left with even worse news: Dumbledore had left for London.

"Tonight."

Harry was sure that Professor McGonagall was too far away to be heard, so he quickly said, "Snape is going through the trapdoor tonight." He'd got everything he needed, and now he'd tricked Dumbledore out of school. He must have sent the letter, and I'm sure the Ministry of Magic would have been taken aback to see Dumbledore suddenly appear. ”

"Good afternoon, Professor Snape!"

Xana suddenly said this to the crowd, startling several people, and quickly turned around to see Snape coming from around the corner, seemingly startled by Xana's sudden greeting.

"You shouldn't be inside in such weather."

Snape adjusted his expression, his muscles contorting into a strange smile.

"We were ...... just now"

Harry is stuck, could it be that we were discussing whether you plan to be a thief at night?

"You need to be careful, if you wander around like this, people will think you're trying to do something bad......"

Snape sneered and headed in the direction of the staff lounge.

Seeing that the Snape were gone, Harry dragged them to a remote corner.

"Well, we have to do it now." He whispered eagerly, "On the one hand, keep an eye on Snape—wait outside the staff lounge, and follow him if he comes out." Hermione, this is best left to you. ”

"Why me?"

Hermione wasn't too satisfied.

"Needless to say." Ron said to Hermione, "You can pretend to be waiting for Professor Flitwick. Oh, Professor Flitwick, I'm so worried, I think I might have made the wrong B for question 14... Oh... Don't hit ......"

Ron, who is talking nonsense, is beaten up by Xana and Hermione.

After cleaning up Ron, Xana says she'll go to the break room with Hermione to spy on Snape, and Harry and Ron to see if the dog is still there.

Walking to the faculty lounge, Xana found a corner where no one was and dragged Hermione, from what Professor McGonagall had just said Dumbledore was leaving.

"Xana, we're going to spy on Snape."

"It's okay, my radar covers the same here. The whole thing is weird, and if you can, I hope you'd better leave the Philosopher's Stone alone. ”

"Xana! How can we watch..."

"Stop——! Hermione, I've had the most contact with Snape, and although I hate it and don't know why I can't get along with Harry, this guy is very strong among wizards. I dare say there are very few teachers in the entire castle except Dumbledore who can surpass him. If it's true that such a guy goes to steal, then killing a student like you is no harder than making pot scabies potion. ”

"Just get the owl in time..."

"It's so sweet. Owls are useless, don't expect Dumbledore to come back in time. ”

Hermione's eyes widened at hearing Xana's words, completely incomprehensible as to why Xana said that.

"Well, it seems that you haven't understood yet. How long does it take for Dumbledore to travel to and from London? Even if Hogwarts itself can't apparage, how much more time can it take to teleport when you walk to the school gate? And there are also strange but fast teleportations like fireplaces, and as far as I know, the connection between the Hogwarts teacher's office and Floo Network is not as forbidden as Phantom Shift, and I have seen Malfoy's father find Snape through the fireplace more than once. ”

"So Dumbledore can come back soon? Not right – this means ......"

Hermione's face turned ugly.

"That's right. This means that Dumbledore just found out that something was wrong, and he couldn't come back in a short time, otherwise there was no point in tricking Dumbledore into London, and he would just apparition or find a fireplace and come back. If Snape is really a criminal, it will be very dangerous to come into contact with him, I can protect myself as a fire and mist warrior, and Harry may have some special ability to save his life as a savior, but you and Ron are definitely the most dangerous. ”

In any story, the protagonist can turn evil into good fortune, and the supporting characters are mostly used as cup props to inspire the protagonist, and Ron and Hermione are the easiest to become supporting characters in this kind of cup.

"What then?"

"Let's just look at Snape as we agreed before, as long as he hasn't been mad by today's Gryffindor potions exam papers, he won't risk being discovered by the rest of the professors in broad daylight, monitor first, and wait until the evening to go back."

"Uh, okay."

Hermione nodded, acquiescing to Xana's complaint, Gryffindor potions are known for their poor level, except for a few who have studied well, the rest of the people's grades are all miserable, and being able to fly low on the passing line is Merlin's old man's blessing.
