After the Quidditch Cup, the whole school year is almost over. Without the hassle of Quidditch training and where the trophy ends up, you are better able to devote your whole body and mind to the revision of your exams.

And when May passed quietly, the little wizards quietly ushered in the crucial June in their busyness.

More recently, professors, including Maca, have stopped giving students homework and spent almost all of their class time reviewing the topics they are most likely to take.

Yes,.., the exam questions are all given by the Department of Education under the International Confederation of Wizards. As for the invigilation of the examination at that time, it will be handed over to the wizarding examination authority of the country where the school is located and the professors of the school will complete it.

Of course, Maca definitely doesn't have a proctoring assignment. After all, he didn't quite belong to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he should go back to Durmstrang if he wanted to proctolate.

However, the few students who took the Magic Script course this school year were actually lucky. Since Maca's new textbook covers far more than the ancient magic literature exams of the past, Maca's students are able to use what Maca teaches to translate and write in depth with ease compared to young wizards from other schools.

Although it is a little tiring to learn - after all, there are obviously more things to remember than in the past, but the gains now must be significant.

It's just that, except for the ancient magic text class, other subjects are still so distressing.

These days, Hermione seems to be suffering from pre-exam anxiety. Not only does she not like to see anything, but she always likes to ask Luna to pick up the book and ask questions, and then she herself answers the questions one by one on the opposite side. But whenever she answered a question, she would immediately snatch back the book to see if she had answered correctly, as the two of them often did in the library, and then frequently attracted the eyes of Mrs. Pince, the caretaker.

But it's worth mentioning that anxiety-induced behavior like Hermione isn't the most annoying, after all, it's only Luna and Mrs. Pensus who are annoying, and Luna seems to be quite happy. The most annoying thing is actually one of Maca's old friends in Hufflepuff - Ernie McMillan.

I don't know what day it began, Ernie had a bad habit of asking people about their revision time, and he almost didn't care who he was bumping into. It's possible that you were asked by him in the hallway a minute ago, and as soon as you sat down in the classroom, he grabbed your arm and asked again.

When he hears that others have been studying longer than himself that day, he will sigh and say that he "must be finished"; And when he heard that the other party's revision time was shorter than his own, he would cheer as if he had already achieved the best results.

"So, every time we see Ernie from afar, we run away as much as we can, and if we can't, we try to say that we haven't reviewed at all......"

In Maca's office, Harry sat next to him and said helplessly.

“…… I think you can understand, Maka," he said, "and we thought maybe by making him more confident would make him less pestering." ”

"Oh," Maka said, who was writing behind her desk, and shrugged her shoulders, "I think you might as well carry him to the hospital instead of encouraging him in this way—Madam Pomfrey will calm him down." ”

"No, no—" Harry shook his head, "Madam Pomfrey said that Ernie had already taken two tranquilizers, and that he would have to sleep for a whole week if he did it again - he would have gone crazy if he woke up and found out that he was going to take an exam!" ”

"This is the third time?" Maca raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Poor Ernie...... I think his family must have given him a rather difficult task! For example. How many 'excellent' or whatever...... LS will take the test?"

"Well, I haven't heard him mention it......" Harry thought for a moment.

Maca jotted down a few more symbols on the paper, then tossed the quill back into the inkwell and turned to look in Harry's direction.

"What about you?" He asked, "Harry, I heard...... Your history of magic should be fine—thanks to Hermione, but what about your Potions? Professor Slughorn is looking forward to earning an 'O'! ”

"That can't be!" Harry immediately said, "Didn't the professor say that?" Get an 'E (Good)' course – I think as long as I can show up in his class, he'll be satisfied! ”

"Okay, okay! You look at what ......" Maca smiled, took a sip of tea from her cup, and then stretched out her hand to gesture, "So, since you're going to come to my office at such a busy time...... I guess you're not just here to talk to me, right? ”

Hearing Maca say this, Harry paused visibly hesitantly.

“…… Uh-huh, yes," he hesitated in his chair again before whispering, "Last month's Quidditch Cup final, hmm...... You seem to have noticed it, right? ”

"You're willing to say it?" Maca nodded, "yes, I saw a little bit - you were in the game, and the scar hurt again?" ”

“…… You're right," Harry said, "but I don't want to say it...... Maca, I can only tell you one person, someone else's words...... Especially Hermione and Ron, it's best not to let them know! ”

Maca nodded knowingly and beckoned to Harry.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal." He beckoned, "Sit down a little more...... Just to be on the safe side, I'll check it out for you again. ”

With that, Maca asked Harry to temporarily lift the Occlumenclumnery, and then followed his lightning-shaped scar to the fragment of Voldemort's soul that had been left in his body.

It wasn't the first time Maca had checked on Harry, but the results hadn't changed. Because of the time that had passed, and because Harry was too young at the time, the soul fragments were almost glued to his own soul, and it was difficult to separate him by normal means.

However, as Maca had judged, the soul shard had no other adverse effects on Harry.

“…… Hmm, no problem. After the inspection, Maca put down her palm and said lightly, "You can live your life however you want, don't worry...... As long as you continue to practice Occlumency, the headaches and nightmares will slowly disappear. ”

With that, he glanced at the magic wall clock on the wall and waved his hand.

"It's almost time, you can go back and get ready for the afternoon class!" Maca casually said, "In a few minutes, the Exam Authority will arrive at Hogwarts." I think you'll know the exact schedule of the exam by this evening at the latest! ”

"Oh-" Harry, relieved after hearing the results of Maca's examination, wailed again, "It's better to put the history of magic on day one, so I can forget something less...... If I put it at the end, I'm afraid I can't guarantee that I will pass! ”

Looking at Harry's back as he left his office while grumbling, Maca shook her head amusedly. After stretching a little, he casually collected the manuscript paper in front of him and placed it on top of the pile of papers on the table, and then raised his legs and walked out.

Professor McGonagall gave him the task of receiving the Examinations Board contact, which was undoubtedly a fitting decision. After all, he is now well-known in the British wizarding world, and it is obviously a very respectful thing for him to come forward to receive and guide the way.

……

"Oh! Is that the one from the Examination Bureau? Looks like he's getting old......"

At the window of the library, Hermione and the other little wizards who were extremely concerned about the exam were lying there and looking down, and Harry, who had just returned from Maca's, was also standing nearby.

"I heard from a guy in Slytherin that if you want to do well, you have to treat the Exam Board to dinner - and preferably their head!" Harry and Ron's roommate, Seamus Finigan, leaned to the side and said in a similar way.

"Really?" Ron had probably heard something like that from his father, and when he heard Seamus say this, he seemed to believe it, "That's terrible...... My dad doesn't seem to know anyone from the examination bureau! ”

"Is this one walking next to Maca the head of the examination bureau?" Another student said curiously, "If you want me to say, it looks like it!" You see she's so old......"

At this moment, Neville, who was squeezed against the wall, couldn't help but take a look.

"That's Geselda Marchiban, the head of the Wizarding Examination Authority......" he whispered, "My grandmother knows her ......"

"Hey! Why didn't you say it earlier! Ron immediately grabbed Neville's elbow, "Good buddy, do me a favor!" Say good things about us all! ”

"Stop messing around!" Hermione slapped Ron's hand away, "Can you trust those Slytherins?" Well...... Neville, your grandma knows her? What kind of person is she? Is it harsh? ”

"Look! And said I ...... Don't you care about it yourself? ”

Ron muttered softly, rubbing the back of his reddened hand, but didn't dare to complain out loud. You know, Hermione's temper has been getting worse and worse lately, and no one wants to mess with her.

Seeing that Hermione was also staring at him with the others, those gazes fell on him, making Neville feel itchy all over, and he quickly shook his hands.

"She's kind of like my grandma...... It's true! You know my grandmother's ......."

Exams are always a mountain over students, and this thing is the same everywhere. As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle, and everyone worked hard to receive a report card in July that would satisfy them and their families.

But in any case, the first exam will start next Monday.
