The exam is less than a month away.

The new classes in the classroom are almost over, the professors of the various subjects seem to have discussed it at the same time, and the little wizards are assigned a lot of homework every day, and the Hogwarts library finally has its annual peak season, and the students who sigh and yawn from morning to night are desperately trying to complete their heavy homework.

In such a frenetic and tense atmosphere, even Hermione Granger was a little unconfidently shaken, always carrying four or five thick books with her, and would spread them on the table and whisper them whenever she had time.

And Seamus Finigan, who is also in the first grade, doesn't know how many accidental explosions he caused at the dinner table.

With exam day approaching, such small accidents are not uncommon at Hogwarts, especially with Percy Weasley. The fifth-graders of LS are even more like an unstable agent, which will explode at the slightest bit.

But for Elena, the saddest news for her was that her long little dark room confinement was finally over.

Aside from spending half a day each weekend dealing with a backlog of letters, she spent the rest of her time acting like a mediocre little witch, completing her professors' assignments, or reciting with Hermione about the two uses of dragon blood, the names of the previous leaders of the Elven Rebellion, and so on.

On top of that, she had to take extra time to read and memorize the content that would most likely appear on this year's exam papers, even if she had the real questions in advance, but she still had to find the answers.

In other words, if she wants to get a high score in the written test, she first has to find a way to answer a perfect standard answer in the "open book" state, and then memorize and practice it repeatedly in order.

Another result of such a high frequency of reading the textbooks of the senior year is that Hermione, who was originally convinced that Elena might be cheating, also began to waver, after all, after Luna's "inspiration evaluation", she did not get any effective information, and judging from the usual situation, Elena seems to be seriously preparing for the final exam......

In addition to Hermione, the other two little wings gave up the operation of continuing to search for "evidence of cheating in the white-haired ball" after holding on for two or three days, leaving Hermione alone who insisted on keeping a close watch every day.

Because she saw with her own eyes that when Elena was reviewing the "Ancient Runi Studies", she had never read the fixed chapters, except for the definitions and analysis of the four or five magic texts, Elena had never memorized anything else - but this alone could not prove that the white-haired dango might cheat, at most it only showed that her review plan was not thorough.

Obviously, it will be quite difficult for the little beaver to defeat Elena alone.

What's even more terrifying is that as Elena returned to school, those unheard of delicious snacks reappeared in front of Nanamin's eyes, and after staying up late studying with irresistible snacks, Hermione felt that her weight might be the first to collapse.

As for Luna and Hannah, they have given up resistance a long time ago, and they eat whatever Elena does.

On the other hand, Elena's application for exams has only just been agreed upon among the Hogwarts professors.

............

Early this Wednesday morning.

As usual, the professors sat down early in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, whispering about what had happened in the school these days, and picking up the menu in front of them with great interest to pick up today's breakfast.

Since Albus Dumbledore took the initiative to arrange the "confinement room" for Elena, the original restrictions on the old wizard's healthy meals for the elderly have gradually been relaxed to only restrict some foods that are high in sugar and cholesterol, and Dumbledore can finally happily taste the "Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue" that the entire wizarding world is eager to eat.

For the vast majority of professors, three meals at Hogwarts have long been an important benefit of the school.

"Professor Dumbledore, what do you think about that child's application for exams?"

Minerva McGonagall looked at the menu in her hand, casually nodding to the Hufflepuff table not far away, and whispered to the old wizard with half-moon glasses beside her.

"I don't deny Miss Kaslana's talent, but I always felt that she was just too ...... this time Of course, there has never been a precedent like this at Hogwarts, and I really don't understand why you would grant such an unreasonable request. ”

"Why should we refuse a student who wants to take an additional exam?" replied nonchalantly.

"Anyway, let her try. In this way, at least we can have a clearer grasp of Miss Kaslana's actual knowledge reserve and what kind of progress she has reached. Even if she couldn't pass some subjects—which was inevitable—it would be a good time for the proud little girl to taste the frustration. ”

Severus Snape looked at the menu in his hand, and said in his usual slow and logical tone, as a Potions professor, although he didn't usually say it, he was quite satisfied with this "Miss Teaching Assistant" in his heart.

Severus was right, Miss Kaslana had applied for the senior written exam, not the practical exam. In other words, even if she passes all of them, she won't be able to apply for skipping a grade or skipping a course - since she wants to memorize more, I think we should encourage this kind of behavior, and it just so happens to motivate other students in the school. ”

Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, then paid more attention to the menu in front of him, frowned slightly, and looked at the gilded font on the menu with some confusion and distress and whispered it.

"Squid cereal soup, black pepper pork patty, omelette, raw rolled fish fillet porridge, oyster pan-fried, boiled beef noodles, duck breast stewed macaroni, sweet potato balls, taro crisp...... I've never heard of the name of a dish before, so which one do you choose......

"If you're a little hesitant, opt for boiled beef noodles, which are a way of cooking from the Far East – and while they may taste a little pungent, they're particularly interesting in terms of shape and texture. ”

Severus Snape glanced at the menu in Dumbledore's hand and said with a blank face.
