"Oh, Miss Granger, I know you're coming......"

At the front edge of the auditorium, Maca and Mrs. Marchband sat side by side, both nodding slightly at Hermione, who had hurried in as soon as she finished the normal test.

"We've all seen what you've just done, and every question is done neatly," Ms. Marchiban followed, "Of course, the additional questions are definitely more difficult than the ones, are you ready?" ”

Hermione, standing at the table with her wand in her hand, looked a little nervous. After all, after a few days of contact, everyone said that this old lady Marchiban was not easy to get along with, which made her feel a little uneasy in her heart, who had always wanted to get a good score.

However, it is always good to have an acquaintance in front of her, and the presence of Maca made her feel much more relaxed.

"Ma ...... Uh, Professor McLean, do you really have what it takes to be an examiner? Because she was always suspicious, Hermione, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask in front of Mrs. Marchban, but her voice was subconsciously lowered, "As far as I know, professors who have not been in the Department of Education cannot ......"

"Oh, Hermione. You've always been amazed at your knowledge," laughs Maca, "as if you knew everything...... I think you probably already know the process of obtaining examiner qualifications? ”

"No, I don't know everything, I only know what I know."

Seemingly a little dissatisfied with Maca's little teasing, she argued at first, then stubbornly stared at Maca in an attempt to get a reasonable answer.

"Oh, okay, okay......" Marka said, spreading her hands, "I'm only in charge of the questions, and as for judging if you can get an additional grade, that's the job of the professor next to me." Even if you can't trust me, you won't be able to trust the esteemed Professor March, right? ”

"I—I can't trust you ......" Hermione pursed her lips and took the rest back into her stomach, "Okay, I see!" So, Professor McLean, please ask the question! ”

When Maca heard this, she also put away the smile on her face, making herself look a little more serious.

"Since the test is the practical content of Defence Against the Dark Arts, then we might as well get real!" He said calmly, "Remember, what you're about to face is genuine, protect yourself." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a terrible howl rang out in the auditorium, and all the students and examiners who were taking the exam turned to look at them with a look of surprise on their faces.

And almost at the same time that howl sounded, the enchanted ceiling at the top of the auditorium turned from blue sky to night in an instant, and a particularly striking full moon sprinkled endless silver light.

The sound is coming from behind, and it's very close! Hermione could even feel a heavy gasp running over the back of her head, causing goosebumps on the skin on the back of her neck.

She didn't have time to think about it, and threw herself to the side.

The next moment, a strong wind swept through the spot where she had been, and even the table in front of Maca was smashed to pieces with a strong force.

It was only at this point that Hermione, who had scrambled to her feet on the floor, had room to look back and confirm the situation. This look suddenly surprised her.

"Whoa—"

The canine-like head, the gray fur that covered the whole body, the muscles and knotted jointed lower limbs, and the sharp claws and teeth that shimmered in the moonlight, all revealed the identity of the other party.

"Werewolf!"

Hermione only had time to let out a low cry before she had to find another gap to dodge because of another lunge. As she desperately rolled to the side, the stone chips flew and roared.

"This ...... Wouldn't that be too dangerous? Even the old lady Marchban, who was beside Maca, couldn't help but whisper, "This kind of test, even if it is placed in the Aurors' induction training, is it more than enough?" ”

"Professor, don't worry, in fact, my requirements are not high......"

As Maca answered softly, the big one, which was half Hermione tall, suddenly raised his head and let out another terrible howl at the full moon overhead.

Hermione, who had been given some space to turn again, stopped her continuous dodging and was turning around to try if the obstacle spell worked, but paused again when she stretched out her wand.

"Werewolf...... Full Moon ......"

She subconsciously raised her head, and at the same time as she saw the full moon, several paragraphs about werewolves in the book immediately flashed in her mind.

Yes, she remembered!

Werewolves transform on the day of a full moon, which is naturally a common knowledge in the wizarding world and the Muggle world; But if they are allowed to continue to be under the full moon after their transformation, in fact, the moonlight will continue to increase their strength.

So? Isn't it already obvious what she should do?

Almost in the blink of an eye, Hermione realized that she had to cast a spell to obscure the moonlight, which was something she was supposed to do before trying to deal with the werewolves.

Not far away, Maca watched silently as Hermione suddenly raised her wand, the tip of which pointed straight to the ceiling of the Great Hall. He raised an eyebrow slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly cheer for Hermione.

Such "additional questions". LS exam scope, about this, of course, Maca understands. But to be honest, he also hides some selfish motives in doing this.

There is no doubt that Hermione is a little witch with high enough talent and ability, and what is even more commendable is that her daily diligence is far beyond the ordinary. If she has the opportunity, Maca is naturally willing to help her and let everyone know how far her strength has been.

It was a great time for Hermione to prove herself.

"Don't panic, take a good look at your opponent." - Maca couldn't say this openly, so he could only whisper it in his heart, hoping that Hermione would notice it herself.

At this moment, Hermione, who was holding her wand aloft, habitually glanced at the "werewolf". Originally, she was just trying to see if the other party would take advantage of the time when she cast the spell to pounce again, but this glance made her notice some facts that she hadn't discovered before!

In fact, Hermione, like Harry, was able to respond appropriately to the enemy. The reason why she is slightly less good at actual combat than Harry is because of her way of thinking.

Backed by ample knowledge, Hermione often misses the best time to fight because she is too obsessed with perfecting her response methods in a short and hasty actual battle. But this little flaw will not hide her excellence.

Just like at this moment, her casual glance allowed her to see the green eyes of the "werewolf".

"The flames are blazing!"

"Bang Bang Bang

Seeing that Hermione suddenly gave up blocking the moonlight and went straight to the big guy who was about to pounce again, and instead cast a powerful fire spell, Maca raised her hands and applauded.

With his abrupt applause, the seemingly ferocious "werewolf" suddenly stopped kicking forward and "frozen" in place as if it was petrified. Hermione's large flame swept through her upper body, but it didn't burn again, and it all dissipated in the blink of an eye.

This sudden scene of fierce beast attack really scared everyone, and at this moment, the eyes in the auditorium naturally focused on Maca, who was still applauding.

"Excellent insight!" He said to Hermione, who was not far away, her chest still wheezing from tension, "Miss Granger, you did a great job!" You recognized it at the last minute – yes, it's not a werewolf, it's a wetland werewolf that inhabits the wetlands of Louisiana, USA! ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked over to the big that was frozen in place, and even reached out a little funny to put his hand on its thick, strong shoulder.

"We should know that werewolves and wetland werewolves aren't the same kind of creatures—not at all," he said, "but they're so similar in appearance that the transformed werewolves and wetland werewolves are almost the same!" Only the color of the pupils and part of the hair on the back of the neck can distinguish them correctly. ”

"However, the methods of dealing with them are very different, and the wetland werewolves are afraid of fire, which is very important! Yes, you noticed that its pupils were green instead of black – you really did a great job! ”

With that, Maca turned around and nodded to Old Lady Marchban.

"Quite a good practice, I dare say, even a graduate wouldn't do it better than you, Miss Granger!" Old Madame Marchiban also applauded lightly and said, "Congratulations, you have obtained the score of the additional question, and I will leave your excellent evaluation in your file!" ”

As Ms. Machisban spoke, Maca repaired some of the damage in the vicinity. Then, he tapped the back of the wetland werewolf who was fixed in place, and immediately saw that the big creature fell apart, silently turning into an ordinary chair.

"Miss Granger," he smiled at Hermione, thinking it was strange to call her that, "your exam is over...... Hmm, it seems like there are other people who want to come here and try the extra questions? ”

As Maca spoke, her eyes wandered, and she slowly walked around the huge auditorium. But he regretted to find that many students had secretly turned their faces away from his sight, apparently still apprehensive about the big incident just now.

"Okay!" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I want to ...... Our Mr. Potter must be interested, isn't he? ”

"Oh, probably?" Hermione blinked, and suddenly gave Maca a blank look, "Well, I'll go out first...... 'Dear Professor McLean'!" ”
