Chapter 131: Exam Week
The game ended in a sea of green, there is no doubt that Malfoy became the hero of saving the academy team this time, the ups and downs of life are indeed incomprehensible, the last moment, he was just a clown dressed as a dementor, and now, Malfoy is qualified to stand in the middle of the sky and let countless spectators cheer for him.
Wave after wave of the all-green crowd supporting them rushed over the barricade to the pitch. Countless hands rained down on their backs. Malfoy held the trophy aloft in the crowd, and a giant snake flew into the sky from Augustus' wand, and time froze in this moment.
With the arrival of June, the days become hot and cloudless, and all we want to do is take a walk outside, take a few pints of chilled pumpkin juice to the grass and lie down on the grass, maybe play a game of pebble throwing or watch the giant squid dream on the lake.
But they can't do that. With exams approaching, students are not only unable to laze outside to pass the time, but they also have to stay in the castle and endure the temptation of the summer breeze blowing from their windows, forcing their brains to work hard.
For Augustus, the exam in this world is actually quite meaningless, especially the theoretical knowledge, in the otherworldly world, as long as it is any qualified mage, magic memory is definitely the easiest way to memorize, so if the pure theoretical test is placed in the academy of another world, I believe that anyone can get a full score.
Despite this, Augustus still needs to spend most of his time in the library, and the construction of the cardinal base of the world has reached the most critical moment, at this time, dive in, after all, slow work makes careful work, in the world of magic, any flaw may lead to the collapse of the entire structure.
Exam week has begun, and there is an unusual silence in the castle. The third-graders came out of the shapeshifting class at lunch on Monday, all of them disgraced and devoid of the spirit of walking, comparing their grades with each other and lamenting that the tasks they had been given were too difficult, including turning a teapot into a turtle.
"The turtle deformation operation is still not very proficient, there is a wicker pattern of the teapot on the turtle shell, I don't know if this point will be deducted, if the teacher can look at the hot weather points, keep the pattern cool, and add some points." Lillian was visibly daydreaming, and what she said was completely whimsical.
"It's just a few patterns, it's not a big deal at all," Malfoy shook his head in annoyance, "My turtle tail is still a teapot spout, and I definitely won't be able to pass it this time, not to mention that we just won Gryffindor, although I believe that Professor McGonagall is fair, but people have selfish intentions after all, this mistake is so obvious, if I don't play on it, it will be in vain for my hard work." ”
Augustus touched his forehead helplessly, "The turtle transfiguration technique, which is almost the content that I learned at the beginning of this semester, is now in the exam, so that students can relieve their pressure. It's extraordinary that the two of you would make a mistake in such a simple experiment. ”
"It's just that we learned too early, so some key postures and chanting methods have been forgotten, and we can't all blame it." Lilian said without shame, without the slightest hint of shame on her face.
After a hurried lunch, everyone went straight upstairs to take the Charms exam. The content of this exam is still not very difficult, only need to recite a happy spell to a partner, let it last about ten minutes to pass, Augustus's partner is a girl who is not very tall, facing Augustus, almost a little nervous and speechless, his face has been red, in order to let her recite the spell smoothly, Augustus had to cast a spell on her that made people completely relaxed, and after the last, both of them passed successfully, Augustus's happy spell is still perfect, Whether it is in the control of time or the stimulation of joy, it is no more standard.
The next morning, Hagrid presided over the exam for the protection of magical creatures, but he looked so preoccupied that his mind didn't seem to be on the exam at all. He brought a large bucket of fresh Flober caterpillars to the class and told everyone that in order to pass the exam, their Flober caterpillars would have to be alive an hour later. If the Flober caterpillars are left unchecked, they multiply very quickly, so this is the easiest test they have ever experienced, Hagrid has used the opportunity to observe Augustus' caterpillars several times to explain the committee's verdict to Augustus, "There should be no problem this time, I took it to the adjudication meeting, most of the people voted against it, and the rest almost all abstained, this verdict should be terminated, so thank you again." ”
In the afternoon Potions class, it was a bit difficult, and in terms of blending, Augustus still felt that it still had some similarities with alchemy, and if it was carefully organized, the problem was not very big.
At midnight for astronomy, everyone went to the highest building. The history of magic was taken on Wednesday morning, and Augustus was really not very interested in this kind of theoretical essay on history, but he wrote it down carefully, and the two or three chapters of parchment were still arbitrary. On Wednesday afternoon, you have to stay in the conservatory in the scorching sun; I have to say that herbology is still very important in the magic discipline, identifying various types of herbs, and relieving some magical effects by mixing potions is definitely an essential key link, after all, some serious hurting magic effects can only be lifted by potions, such as the petrification effect of the basilisk last semester is a good example.
Thursday morning for Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, their penultimate exam. Professor Lupin's proposed test, which none of them had ever taken, was the most unusual: it was an outside, sun-lit, kind of obstacle coursework, in which students had to wade through a pond with Grindillowe, through a series of potholes full of red hats, creak through a swamp, ignore the wrong instructions from a Hinkpunk, and then climb into an old box to fight a new boggart.
For such a special examination method, Augustus quite admired Lupin's ingenuity, after all, for the wizards of this world, in terms of actual combat, it is indeed a big flaw, for this kind of examination method similar to casting different magic to clear the customs, Augustus personally still prefers it. Coming out of the box, Augustus's penultimate score was still a perfect score, and the theory and practical practice complemented each other, and Professor Lupin's teaching method and method of checking students were indeed quite meaningful.
