In the past, the so-called "Defence Against the Dark Arts" could have been almost directly linked to Dumbledore, because it was he who single-handedly thwarted the Dark Lord Greenwald's ambitions at the last moment.

Nowadays, when others talk about black magic, they immediately think of Maca. Two successive generations of Dark Lords fell in the front courtyard of Hogwarts Castle at almost the same time, a fact that surprised the whole world.

It has to be said that the fact that Maca is temporarily in charge of the additional examiner for the Defence Against the Dark Arts practice exam is enough to make people feel justified even if it is rumored to be outside of Hogwarts.

Of course, no matter what kind of discussion this incident will cause in the future, everyone is still focusing on the intense exam for now.

During this whole afternoon,. He made a cameo appearance as an interim examiner more than a dozen times in the LS exam, and he also had several opportunities to appear in the exam.

But to be honest, Maca's additional questions are indeed very difficult, and he did not let go because he knew the students well. By the time all the candidates had completed the exams, there were only five students who had received additional marks from him, and the only seventh grader was Cedric, the handsome Hufflepuff House great.

In Maca's own words - "It's already out of compliance with the rules for me to be an examiner on a temporary basis, and if I don't make it more difficult, won't the International Federation of Wizards just remove me from my professorship?" ”

However, there are two graduates who have a supplementary challenge that is worth talking about at the end. Because they not only unexpectedly took the initiative to put forward a combination challenge with double the difficulty, but they almost passed both of them.

That's right, they were none other than the famous pair of Hogwarts troublemakers, twin brothers Fred Weasley and George Weasley.

And the skills they used in the exam were taught to the members in the training.

Although they eventually missed the opportunity to score because they got too carried away, even Maca secretly nodded to them afterwards - the simultaneous spell casting with the tacit understanding of the twins did work surprisingly well, because they didn't even miss a single mistake.

It's a pity that if you don't pass, you don't pass, and even a little bit can't change the facts.

Since that day, there has been no accident of Maca being the examiner, and the exam has been carried out as usual again. On Friday, Luna and Hermione, who had taken the Ancient Magical Texts class, went to take the exam together, while those who didn't, such as Harry and Ron, were given a valuable day off.

Because there was still a whole weekend to revise, most of the fifth-graders who didn't refer to it put down their textbooks and materials and spent the whole day lazily.

Naturally, graduates have no possibility of relaxing, and even if they are told that they should put down their pens and enjoy the warm breeze and sunshine, and that the combination of work and rest may be more conducive to the later exams, they may not be in the mood for that reason.

In the afternoon, as Harry and Ron were leaning over the window looking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, guessing what animal Hagrid had brought in for the junior class, Hermione walked in through the portrait hole.

As soon as the two of them looked back, they found that Hermione was in a surprisingly good mood at this time!

"Is it another 'O'?" Ron asked, stretching hard.

"I think it's okay!" Hermione's eyebrows fluttered, "Just like the morning exam, the questions are incredibly easy. I'm thinking...... Any student who has listened well to the class is sure to get a high score! ”

"Oh, that sounds good...... Harry sighed, "If I had known, I should have taken a magic class, not some hellish divination class!" No matter how much you review that thing, it doesn't work, and it only depends on luck if you fail! ”

As Harry had said, he and Ron spent the rest of the weekend reviewing Potions and the history of magic, and they hadn't touched the divination stuff at all.

In fact, this is not because they don't want to do well in divination, but because even Hermione doesn't understand what method should be used to review just looking at the tea residue at the bottom of the cup and the fog in the crystal ball.

In short, in the not-so-pleasant pile of textbooks, the weekend has gone by almost in a blink of an eye.

On the Monday of the second week, I took the Potions exam.

Although the professor of this course has changed, the two teachers have the level of Potions masters, and even if the teaching styles are completely different, the teaching quality of the two can be said to be top-notch.

Snape was good at teaching ahead of his time, and although there was always some confusion in class, both the theory of potion preparation and the steps of mixing it were clear and unambiguous; Slughorn is good at leading teaching, and the good classroom atmosphere and meticulous preparation and presentation can keep students focused at all times.

Therefore, in the face of the moderately difficult exam, everyone's performance is not bad.

As for the conservation of magical creatures taught by Hagrid, Maca helped him develop a very useful teaching plan. Especially in the afternoon practical exams, most of the magical creatures that appear in them are popular nowadays, and many of them are actually operated by everyone in class.

Coupled with Hagrid's experience in taking care of animals, there was no fallacy in the knowledge he imparted to the students, so that most of the candidates had a smooth day.

And if you want to say that the most headache for the students, it must be the last day of the history of magic exam.

The already boring classroom environment, coupled with even more boring textbook knowledge, will most students fall asleep unknowingly in class - but Professor Binns never thought of waking everyone up.

As a result, students who have to face exams suffer enough in the dark days of revision. As for the final exam...... Hey, I don't want to mention it.

It was Thursday evening, when the time had come when the exams, which had lasted for nearly two weeks, had finally come to an end, and the young wizards had finally gathered on the grass outside the hall gate and cheered.

Yes, perhaps some of them will weep goodbye to each other after a good celebration. But at the very least, the exam, which was so tense that it was almost breathless, was finally over.

When the howl of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded from the vestibule, Maca, who was teaching students from other grades upstairs, couldn't help but stop explaining, walked to the window and looked down.

Obviously, even Professor McGonagall, who was usually strict, had the rare opportunity to let the graduates indulge a little bit today, and did not immediately drive them back to the common room.

Maca leaned against the window and watched quietly for a moment, then turned back and waved her hand gently.

"Sit down for me, I'm still in class!" After calling the students who had also come together in front of the window to look down to their seats, he smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'll get out of class early today so that you have more time to make a fuss with your seniors......"

Before the words fell, the classroom burst into laughter and praise. At about the same moment, the cheers below came to an abrupt halt, vaguely replaced by Professor McGonagall's stern rebuke.

"Stop!" Maca hurriedly waved her hand and said, "If Professor McGonagall hears it, you guys are going to scrub the wall tiles of the bathroom together!" ”

……

For graduates, the end of the exam means that their student days are coming to an end; But for fifth-graders like Harry, this was just the beginning of a more difficult period of study.

Oh well! Anyway, they have a relaxing holiday to adjust to themselves, and they can relax before the course starts.

A few days later, on the Thestrals carriage bound for Hogsmeade Station.

“…… I'll be going to play with you, and you can always write to me if you have anything," Maca was talking to Harry, "Of course, even if it's okay, you're welcome to send me a letter!" ”

"Will you be in school all the time? Don't plan to go somewhere for a walk or something? Ron said curiously, "If I were as rich as you, I'd have a luxury trip around the world!" ”

"Oh, then you'll have to work hard to make money after you graduate," Maka said with a smile, "and ...... Yes, at least for the time being, they will stay in school for a while. ”

That's right, he's not leaving Hogwarts yet. Because in the early part of this year's summer vacation, he still needs to help Professor McGonagall with some interesting little work!

When the carriage creaked to the intersection in front of the station, Maca and Hagrid put everyone on the train, smiling and waving their hands, and watching the train smoke fade away.

So many things had happened this school year, some good and some bad, but one way or another, it finally left with the Hogwarts Express.

After that, is there only a bright and smooth road left? Although there are still all kinds of uncertainties around her, Maca is naturally so hopeful.

"Hagrid, it's time for us to go back!"

Maca raised her hand and patted his arm, and suddenly, she found that she had grown so tall when she could only shoot Hagrid's buttocks!

"Oh, yes—" Hagrid said, nodding his head as he slipped some of the wet handkerchiefs back into his coat pocket, "Well, I'll go for a drink with three broomsticks in a moment...... Maca, do you want to be together? ”

"I'd love to go, but I'm sorry," said Maca, "Professor McGonagall told me to come there as soon as I saw off my students, and I think you should understand...... There are a few small jobs that are very meaningful! ”

"Aha!" Hagrid suddenly said happily, "So, is it you going this year?" ”
