Chapter 623: When You Fail the Exam...... (Ask for a commuter pass!)

Hogwarts calendar year 999, the last weekend of June.

With the help of Elena Kaslana, the trio of Hermione Granger, Hannah Abbott, and Luna Lovegood successfully cleared the "Test of the Dark Magic" and brought back an invaluable experience for the first pass of the dungeon.

As for the punishment game that followed that night between the four girls, it didn't matter.

The next day, the Hogwarts students were watching through a huge hourglass of record House Cup scores, and they all noticed the sudden increase in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor's points, which seemed particularly obvious and strange towards the end of the semester.

Immediately afterward, information about the breakthrough of the "test of the black magic defense" quickly spread.

The assessment, which was once thought impossible by the students, could really be cleared, and at breakfast in the early morning of that day, Dumbledore reconfirmed the news, and publicly honored the promised gold reward.

The academy points, gold gallons, grade bonuses, and all kinds of factors were superimposed, and at this moment, the little wizards who were not so interested in this level were also excited, and their confidence and desire to win were completely stimulated at once.

Since two first-year students and one apprentice who has not yet entered the school can successfully pass the level, then there is no reason why these senior students who have been studying for more than two and a half years and have a hobby of ____ can't do this.

The three little witches were originally one of the most popular and popular little ones in the school.

After this first pass aura, the attention in the school has increased, even the Ravenclaw and Slytherin students have become extremely enthusiastic when they see them, knocking on various details of the clearance.

There is only one week left until the end of the year at Hogwarts, and everyone still has plenty of opportunities to try.

And what makes the students even more admirable is that even if they become star students, these three little witches did not show too much pride, but became more and more immersed in learning and magic practice.

Along with many small details revealed, such as the type of potion that Luna and the others drew in the fourth level.

The students easily came to the obvious conclusion that compared to Luna, Hermione, and Hannah, all they lacked was a little bit of luck, and luck was fair to everyone...... Right?

Bang, bang, bang

Entrance to the Gryffindor common room.

"Who's calling Cowmike McLagan, come out for me! We have to have a good talk today!"

Two Slytherin students and a Hufflepuff student stood in front of the portrait of the fat lady, shouting angrily into the doorway, and the usually grumpy and short-sighted little lions seemed to be deaf this time, and no one came out to respond.

It took a while for the portrait to slowly spin around.

Percy Weasley frowned as she stood by the door, the silver prefect badge on her chest gleaming.

"This is the Gryffindor common room, I'm the prefect!What do you want to do?!"

"Look, this potion was made by Cowmike McLagan, right?"

One of the Slytherin students waved an empty potion bottle in his hand vigorously and roared loudly, "It's just the simplest antidote to confusion, he doesn't know what the hell he added to it, it tastes bad, the key is that it's still poisonous!

These days, this kind of situation is a little more frequent, as the house that is most targeted by Snape, the average Potions class of Gryffindor students is not very good, and the quality of the potions brewed is naturally uneven.

As for the solution, it is naturally quite sound and complete.

The corners of Percy Weasley's mouth twitched, and he replied with great skill.

“...... The identification of the antidote is also part of the test. So, is it still the same old rule?"

"That's right, it's the same old rule!One-on-one duel, Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, with Professor Apocaris as the referee. ”

"Alright then, McLagan, what do you think, another one to duel"

"Okay, no problem! I promised—but you'll have to wait for tomorrow, and I've got three more duels today!"

At the same time, the figure of the culprit, the second-year Gryffindor student Comike McLagan, also appeared at the door of the portrait, standing behind Percy Weasley with his arms crossed, and replied sullenly.

Although they may not be good at potions, with the high-intensity dueling schedule in the past few days, the Gryffindor students' experience in magical duels has increased rapidly, and even if they take turns participating in duels, they can maintain a victory rate of more than 60%.

It's just that, on the other hand, it is difficult for the young wizards of Gryffindor House to receive applications from other houses to join the team.

After all, the main difficulty in the first four levels is potions, herbs and charms, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin House have a natural advantage in this regard, and in terms of cross-house popularity, Hufflepuff is obviously more reliable than the lion cubs.

Especially when Professor Snape said that—

"When you can't pass the exam, don't always come to the professor and ask why, the reason I've written on the flask in the level, it's the result of what you've planted yourself over the past year. ”

In front of the common room of Gryffindor House, almost every day, several waves of "great calamity" young wizards come to seek revenge.

And this continued until the morning two days later......

"Ladies and gentlemen, before breakfast starts today, there are a few more special news. ”

Albus Dumbledore smiled, stood up and cleared his throat.

"Mr. Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, and George Weasley have used their wonderful performance to become the second group of young wizards to clear the 'Dark Defense Assessment', for which I would like to award Gryffindor House seventy-five points. ”

With Dumbledore's voice, the huge hourglass of Gryffindor House seemed to rain down, and the rubies poured downward, surpassing the Slytherin House total points in an instant, second only to Hufflepuff.

However, Dumbledore's words did not end.

"In addition, Mr. Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, and Ron Weasley also successfully cleared the 'Dark Magic Defense Assessment' immediately after last night, for this, I would like to reward Gryffindor House with fifty points and Slytherin House with twenty-five points!"

The cheers of the Gryffindors nearly toppled the enchanted ceiling.

Every little wizard in Gryffindor House jumped up and down at the table in ecstasy—they had risen by one hundred and twenty-five points in one go, and now Gryffindor was only ten points short of the Hufflepuff in first place.

In other words, they are one step away from winning the Academy Cup.

This is undoubtedly an extremely exciting news for the Gryffindor House, which was almost in despair, and more importantly, the proud Gryffindor lion cubs proved that they were not "copy poison".

You must know that almost two-thirds of the three teams that have cleared the level now are Gryffindor little wizards!

"No way! How can you beat that big dog!"

Marcus Flint slammed the table hard, stood up in disbelief, and turned to look at Gryffindor House at the next table, his lips squirming several times, while the other Slytherin wizards around him had the same expressions.

At the end of the fourth level, Elena will give the young wizards a "puppy" as a help.

In the next two levels, when the little wizards are in danger, the three-headed little milk dog state of Lo Mei will take the initiative to break the seal and restore to its full form of [Skeleton Level Hell Three-Headed Dog] to help the students complete the level.

But when the students reach the final level, they will be transformed from battle partners to the arch-demon who guards the level - at this stage, Elena will be temporarily imprisoned in a bronze chair in the seventh level, waiting for them to be rescued, and will no longer be able to help.

It's just that these days, no one has ever succeeded in "rescuing" Elena.

As for completing the assessment of the two levels alone without the help of Lu Wei's strength, it is not that no team has tried it......

But!

Not to mention the Fantastic Beasts level in the fifth level, the test in the sixth level is to fight with Voldemort and the projection of the Death Eaters! In the face of the vicious Death Eaters, the most terrible Dark Lord in history, even if it is just a projection, it is enough to make most of the little wizards lose their fighting spirit, or their strength is seriously unbalanced.

Most of the young wizards of Slytherin House chose to surrender when they first encountered them.

Of course, all of them were sentenced to death by the ruthless black forces, and they were executed immediately, in extreme pain and cruelty.

Therefore, after a few confrontations and struggles, almost all teams will choose this level to use the three-headed dog of hell to help clear the level, and they will follow behind Lu Wei's strong body and symbolically cast a few spells.

In the face of Marcus Flint's questioning, the four Weasley brothers raised their eyebrows rather proudly, showed a very consistent stinky expression, and raised their cups defiantly, without much answer-after high-frequency duel practice, the clumsy "Death Eaters" were too easy to deal with, and almost every one of them had killed the "Dark Lord".

On the other hand, according to the original plot setting, as long as you complete the "Kill the Dark Lord", you will actually be counted as having passed the assessment, and if you choose to quit the dungeon directly, you can still get the basic 5-point reward, as well as a score increase.

As for the higher score, as well as the Golden Galleon reward, you still need to clear one level.

Unfortunately, all the young wizards who passed all the tests were told by Professor Dumbledore and Professor Apocalis not to reveal too many detailed details of the follow-up levels, and tried to let the students find the right way on their own.

Of course, there are loopholes in all rules......

In other words, from the very beginning, Elena and the professors were able to leave such a small gap so that students could participate more and better in this rare large-scale campus event and gain something from it.

After breakfast for the day.

Ravenclaw's current prefect, Miss Peach, with a group of little sisters, blocked the Gryffindor table.

"Weasley, you stop me! Is this the reason why you said yesterday that your stomach was a little uncomfortable, so you temporarily quit my team? You actually secretly went to clear the level, and you didn't make it clear today, hum!"

"Ahem, Meryl, listen to me......"

George Weasley's face froze, and he explained with a smile in the playful eyes of the brothers around him.

"Actually, I was about to come to you, and although Professor Dumbledore didn't allow us to reveal too much, we took a closer look at the rules last night and found a small loophole in them that we could try today......"

"Oh, what's the hole, you'd better not fool me......"

Ravenclaw's "Miss Peach" turned slightly pale, clasped her hands on her chest, and raised her eyebrows.

Any secret ceases to be a secret when it is known to three or more people, and any record, when it is broken for the first time, is several levels less difficult to reach again.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

"Meryl Streep, Angelina Johnson, George Weasley, successfully cleared the level! For this, I would like to reward Ravenclaw House with ten points and Gryffindor House with ten points!"

"Penelope Crewatt, Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, successfully clear! For this, I will reward Ravenclaw Academy with fifteen points!"

"Pansy Parkinson, Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, ......"

On this day, Hufflepuff House was overtaken by a full semester ahead of the House Cup scores.

At the same time, it also means that the whole of Hogwarts has officially entered, and Elena and the professors are looking forward to seeing the era of the school's final semester scramble for points, and there is still a week before the end of the semester.

Since there is only one chance to enter the dungeon once a day, the success rate is particularly critical.

The four houses of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, which were originally full of estrangement and strangeness, spontaneously began to get to know each other and seek to form a team with each other in such an extremely strange state.

Whether it is a good student with excellent grades, or a small expert with strong hands-on ability, even if it is a little worse in any ability, but can find a super courtesan who can lead the team to clear the customs......

All in all, in theory, everyone has a chance to complete the level and get a decent pocket money.

As the new Gringotts Elven Empress, Elena specially prepared a reward of 100,000 gold galleons for this large-scale Hogwarts event, or more accurately, it should be called-

With your own strength, defeat head-on and pass the fixed drop of the sixth level.

"If Voldemort is really resurrected, he'd better not come to Hogwarts to make trouble, or else ......"

Elena shook the burgundy pomegranate juice from the goblet in her hand, and with great skill in manipulating illusions and magic, controlling the ongoing test not far away, watching the young wizards calmly fight back surrounded by Death Eaters.

"Tsk, it's progressing fast, it seems that next semester we can consider letting some wizards of destiny join the confrontation......"
