Chapter 70: The Coming Battle

After the Forbidden Forest, everyone was relatively peaceful, but Harry was the only one.

Harry didn't really try to cheer Quirrell anymore, and certainly didn't spy on Quirrell like a twitch. But he'd been nervous for a while, often fearing that Voldemort would break down and kill him, or that Quirrell and Snape would get the Philosopher's Stone through the Three-Headed Dog.

Harry was thinner and thinner, and his face was listless all day.

Neville saw that Harry had been sleeping poorly all night and thought he was suffering from a severe phobia of exams. In fact, Harry was waking up from a constant stream of nightmares, each of which featured a hooded figure with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Dudley saw all of this, but he didn't know how to convince Harry, he did know everything, he knew that Voldemort was possessed by Quirrell, and he knew when Voldemort would steal the Philosopher's Stone.

The question is, knowing everything, what about telling Harry everything, and doing so will only add to the annoyance of one more person.

He also figured it out, he has no absolute ability but to follow the arrangement, which is the case no matter where he is.

Now that I think about it, some of his previous ideas were indeed ill-considered and a little ridiculous.

If it was to directly expose the truth about Voldemort and let him know that there was no hope of obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, he would go 100% crazy.

As for a Voldemort who went berserk and would not really die, Dumbledore was not absolutely sure that he would be able to subdue or drive him away without causing casualties to the students.

At present, it seems that the only thing that can be done is not to unravel Voldemort's conspiracy, and honestly follow the plan designed by Dumbledore, so that Voldemort obediently and obediently steals the Philosopher's Stone, and there is a great chance that this matter will be solved perfectly.

Dudley thought that Harry would not be able to withstand the pressure and collapse, but he slowly got better, according to him: Voldemort would most likely not make a move if he didn't make a move for so long, and Quirrell and Snape didn't steal the Philosopher's Stone because they didn't get it from Hagrid through the three-headed dog Love.

Ron and Hermione weren't like Harry who worried about their own safety and the Philosopher's Stone. Voldemort did frighten them, but it was an abstract concept, and they wouldn't have a pre-understanding of the future like Dudley, and they knew how terrifying Voldemort was.

The closer to the exam date, the more complicated the feelings of the little wizards.

Exams mean death, and of course for those who are poorer at studying, and after the exams are the long summer vacations that anyone would look forward to.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the young wizards were a little restless, and Malfoy provoked Harry and Dudley from time to time, but now they didn't have the energy to pay attention to Malfoy.

This was largely due to Dudley, who, after Harry returned to normal, dragged Harry, Ron, and Hermione into a hellish lifestyle, working out on a demanding schedule every day, exercising, studying for exams, and spending a lot of time on spell sparring.

As a result, Malfoy showed a resentful face when he saw Harry, after all, a slap never sounded.

The weather on the day of the exam was very hot, and it was even hotter in the large classroom where they were answering questions. Each subject has a written test question, and the teacher will give them a new quill specifically for the exam, which is recited with an anti-cheating spell.

There are several specific exams that have practical exams in addition to written exams.

During the Charms exam, Professor Flitwick tells them to go into the classroom one by one to see if they can make a pineapple tap dance across a desk.

In the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall also asked them to go in one by one, and the question of the exam was to turn a mouse into a snuff box, as long as the more beautiful the box conjured, the higher the score. If the conjured box is less beautiful and even has animal features, points will be deducted.

During the Potions exam, the young wizards struggled to remember the process of mixing the Forgotten Potion. Snape stood behind his back and watched closely, he was extremely attentive to Gryffindor, and the back of the lions' necks could feel his breathing, which made the lion cubs very nervous.

Dudley's situation was very pleasant, Snape basically just glanced at him and left, who called him the only one in Gryffindor to give Snape a Christmas present, not to mention that Snape couldn't find any mistakes and cheats in him.

The last test is the history of magic, and Dudley's most hated subjects like this need to be memorized, which not only waste brain capacity, but may not be used in the future.

But just hold on for another hour and you'll be freed from the hell of the history of magic.

When Professor Binns's ghost told them to put down their quill pens and roll up the parchment for their answers, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Everyone is now free, and they can easily play for a whole week until the exam results are announced, and then some people can cry.

"It's so much easier than I thought it would be," Hermione said as they followed the crowd to the sunny field outside, "I don't really need to remember the 'Werewolf Code of Conduct of 1637' and the Elf Rebellion. ”

"Don't talk about it anymore, I feel like I'm going to throw up. Ron made a vomiting gesture.

"Hmph," Hermione asked, looking at Dudley, "Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall will definitely give you high marks." ”

Dudley was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Hermione thought he would use some advanced spells, and he replied, "I don't know, it's probably a normal score." ”

He doesn't think there's any practical point in using sophisticated magic spells to make some bells and whistles during exams, and that in addition to getting the professor's attention and adding more marks, he can also pretend to be forced, and then what else can he do?

They talked and walked slowly down the slope to the lake, where they sat down under the trees. Over there, a large squid is lying in the warm, shallow water, and the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan are gently playing with its tentacles.

"How nice, I don't have to review anymore. Ron exhaled happily and lay on the grass with his limbs stretched, "Harry, look how happy we are, you have to be happy too, we'll only know how bad the exam was in a week, there's no need to worry about it now." ”

"It's not that I'm unhappy because of the exam," Harry rubbed his forehead, "but that my scar stings from time to time. ”

"Why don't you go and see Miss Pomfrey?" Hermione suggested.

"I'm not sick, don't you believe me?" said Harry, "I've said it's a warning...... It means that danger is coming......"

Ron couldn't keep his spirits up, it was too hot.

"Harry, relax, as long as Dumbledore is around, the Philosopher's Stone will not be in danger. Didn't you say they didn't know how to get past Hagrid's three-headed dog, Lowe and if Hagrid betrayed Dumbledore, then Neville could have been selected for the English Quidditch team. ”

Dudley looked up at the clouds in the sky, and Voldemort's figure loomed in front of him.
