Chapter 159: The Heroes of Slytherin
It is said that after Easter, the final exams will arrive soon, and this is really not wrong at all.
Hogwarts exams take place in mid-June, and the exam times vary from year to year. Of course, the written exams are all staggered and are invigilated separately by the professors of the school.
The weather in June was very hot, and everyone was crowded into the classroom for exams.
The written exam begins at half past nine in the morning, and the first test is Charms, and the students need to be seated, and by the way, the invigilator is Professor McGonagall.
Everyone looked nervous, but Albert didn't pay much attention, he just felt novel, the Hogwarts exams reminded him of his university exams in his previous life.
On the table were new quill pens, inkwells, and parchment paper that Hogwarts had given to everyone for exams. It is said that the quill, ink, and parchment all had anti-cheating spells on them, and the so-called anti-cheating spells were just like that in Albert's opinion.
As the biggest cheater among the candidates of this year, these things are definitely not valid for him.
When everyone was seated and quiet, Professor McGonagall announced that the exam had begun. Then, she turned a huge hourglass on the table upside down and placed it next to her.
The moment Albert opened the exam paper, he found that a new task appeared on his panel:
In the name of genius.
You are recognized as a genius student among this freshmen, and since you are a genius, you should show your strength with grades that match your genius, and get excellent results in all exams, and tell you with facts that the so-called exams are nothing more than that.
Bonus: 1400 experience.
Albert couldn't help but pout, and his eyes fell on Katrina, who was in the fourth seat of the third row on his right, and the guy began to write the answer after reading the question.
He looked down at the first question of the test paper:
a) write spells that make objects fly;
b) Describe the movement of the wand.
......
"Well, it's easier than expected. ”
Half an hour later, Albert wrote all the answers on parchment, then spent another five minutes checking them to make sure there were no mistakes, and then went to sleep on his desk.
No way, who made the exam last two hours?
However, the Slytherin student behind Albert was a little stunned when he realized that the guy in front of him had actually started to sleep.
For Albert Anderson, even some Slytherin students know, it is said that he is a genius, very good at learning, and good at Quidditch, catching the Golden Snitch in the game with Slytherin, making countless Slytherin students gnash their teeth, it is said that many people want to trouble Anderson, but they are all deflated, and a while ago there was a big news.
No one believes him when he says he can't do test papers, and the only explanation is that the guy has already finished writing.
Already completed the exam?
Is this exam really that simple?
The Slytherin student looked at his own papers, then looked up at the guy lying on his stomach in front of him, and began to wonder if the papers were different.
Probably sensing someone walking up to him, Albert looked up and saw Professor McGonagall with an unkind face.
Albert picked up the upside-down parchment, raised his hand and pointed at it, indicating that he had finished the test paper.
Professor McGonagall picked up the paper and glanced at it, silently put it back on the table, and said nothing more, letting Albert continue on his stomach.
As for early submission?
That would affect other people's exams, which is not possible unless there is a special reason for doing so.
"You guys actually slept for more than an hour, did we use different test papers for the exam?" Fred and George complained as they wrapped their arms around Albert's neck after the exam.
"Here, test papers. Albert handed the test paper to George, "It feels pretty simple." ”
"Simple?" said Lee Jordan feebly.
"As long as you listen carefully in class, take notes in class, and read it a few times after class, you will definitely be able to easily get excellent. Albert had a look of certainty that you hadn't reviewed it carefully.
"Shut up, don't talk about it again. The three of them reached out in unison to cover Albert's mouth, so that the other would not slap themselves with his words.
In the afternoon, there was also a practical exam in Charms, and Professor Flitwick called them into the classroom one by one in alphabetical order, so Albert was the first. The exam consisted of casting a spell on a pineapple and walking past a desk with a tap dance.
It's actually a test of dance spells and control over spells. Of course, this was not difficult for Albert, and he did it easily.
The Transfiguration exam took place the next day, and the written exam was similarly undifficult, and Professor McGonagall didn't pursue Albert's sleep after he saw how easily a mouse had been transformed into a delicate silver snuff box with Hogwarts insignia on it.
The more beautiful the box, the higher the score, and Albert's artwork is directly full marks, of course, the so-called perfect score refers to excellent.
If the box still has a mouse's whiskers on it, points will be deducted. Fred also complained about it, and he was deducted points for having a faint beard mark on his ashtray.
What Albert found more interesting was the practical test of Potions.
The assessment content is to prepare the Forgotten Potion within two hours.
This is actually not a difficult task, after all, there are only a few potions that have been mixed in the entire school year, but ...... With Snape behind him watching, it wasn't easy.
Whenever Snape appeared behind a student without warning, he would add a negative buff to them, causing the student's heart to beat faster, his hands and feet flustered, and sometimes to make mistakes.
......
The last exam was the history of magic, which was a rather boring exam, and Albert had deliberately read all the so-called key points before the exam, but there were no accidents in answering the questions, and he passed the exam safely.
When Professor Binns told them to put down their quill pens and roll up the parchment for their answers, the classroom erupted in cheers.
At the end of the exam, they are finally free and can easily play for a whole week until the exam results are announced.
"Let's go, I'll invite you to celebrate with a butterbeer. Albert beckoned his roommate to leave before Katrina arrived.
"Going to Hogsmeade?" asked Lee Jordan in a whisper.
"No, I've already had the owl mail ordered. ”
"Owl, you mean that?" Fred gestured to an owl flying in this direction, and threw the package it was holding in front of Albert.
"What is this?" Fred picked it up in confusion, pulling out the card on it and handing it to Albert.
"It's definitely a book. George was quite sure.
"Why. ”
"Everything in this shape of a package is usually filled with books. ”
"Can it be opened?" Fred looked at Albert.
"Open it. Albert glanced at the card, and really let George guess correctly, this book is called "The Complete Explanation of Basic Magic Texts", sent by Mr. McDoug, and it is said that it has just been published.
After the final exams, everyone spent their time on campus before the summer vacation in a leisurely manner.
The Slytherin team eventually defeated the Hufflepuffs, even if it was a crushing victory, but they never won the Quidditch trophy.
Who made Slytherin lose to Gryffindor?
The culprit for all this was a freshman, who made most of the Slytherin students furious.
And, worst of all, they could lose not only the Quidditch trophy, but also the final House Cup.
At the moment, Gryffindor House is still slightly ahead of Slytherin House by fifteen points, and now there are only a few days left until the year-end party.
Albert didn't pay much attention to these things, he was reading a book under a tree on the shore of the lake, and not far from him, the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan were using branches to pluck the big squid lying in the warm shallow water stall basking in the sun.
In the run-up to the holidays, the four of them often come here to pass the time, occasionally discussing how to get revenge on Filch and those who want to trouble them.
"Something?" Albert closed the "Basic Demon Text" and looked up at Katrina who appeared in front of him.
"I'm ready. Katrina glanced at Albert's hand, and asked, puzzled, "Why don't you go to Ravenclaw?"
"Why do you want to go, I have friends here, and I'm doing well. Albert nodded at the three of them on the edge of the lake, "At least, better off than you." ”
"I have friends too. Katrina understood Albert's words, and glared at Albert dissatisfied, as if she had no friends.
"We're going to Ravenclaw Tower now?" Albert diverted the subject, and was about to stand up when he noticed four Slytherin students walking in this direction not far away, and when he met their eyes, Albert knew that these four guys had bad intentions.
Katrina noticed a momentary change in Albert's face, turned her head to look at the four seniors who were walking this way, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "You seem to be in trouble." ”
"Trouble, I don't see any trouble. Albert said lightly.
As the two spoke, four Slytherin students were already walking towards them.
"Look, who we met, the famous Mr. Albert Anderson. A Slytherin student grinned maliciously.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be stirring up trouble at this time. Albert raised his hand and pointed behind the backs of several people.
"Who are you trying to fool with this trick? Are you an idiot for us?" someone stared at Albert and sneered disdainfully.
"Perhaps, we should cooperate with him. "Someone was rubbing his fists together, looking ready to fight.
"That makes you even more stupid. "Someone has already drawn his wand.
"I've practiced, and it's okay to beat a few of you with your bare hands. Albert motioned for Katrina to stay aside, and besides, I wasn't alone. ”
"You're actually planning to bully the freshmen in front of Professor Barburing. Katrina couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt that these four people were a little stupid.
No, it should be said that Albert was deliberately using words to induce them, and he wanted the four guys to do it, so that Professor Barblin happened to see four senior Slytherin students bullying a new Gryffindor.
The result?
Katrina didn't have to think about it to guess.
The three Georges on the shore of the lake also noticed the change here, and they had already drawn their wands and were ready to come over to help in the fight.
However, all three slowed down and hid their wands behind them, ready to watch a good show.
The four Slytherin students apparently didn't believe Albert's low-level nonsense, probably thinking that Albert wanted to distract them and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak up on them.
So, they got their hands dirty.
One of them lunged directly at Albert, ready to use his size advantage to press Albert to the ground and teach him a hard lesson.
The latter just flashed to the side and raised his foot to trip the other party directly.
The other was holding a wand and preparing to cast a spell, but Albert was the first to disarm it, and the wand flew out of the air, and it happened to land in front of Albert and he reached out to catch it.
"Stop, what the hell are you doing?" Professor Babling saw this, and went from momentary astonishment to annoyance.
The two men, who had already drawn their wands and were about to cast a curse on Albert, froze in place.
"Professor...... We're just here to ......."
"Are you blind to me?" Professor Babling stared at the four of them and coldly spat out the final verdict: "Slytherin deduction twenty points, everyone, I will tell Severus that maybe he should give you a few days of confinement, lest you bully the new students in the school just after your exams." ”
The faces of the four suddenly became gloomy.
"Good morning, Professor Barburing. Albert greeted Professor Goowen with a smile.
"You probably didn't get my note, did you?" Professor Barblin looked at Albert and nodded, "Come with me, I have something to tell you." ”
"Okay professor. Albert frustrated his hands at the four Slytherin students, "I told you. ”
Before Albert and Professor Barblin left, he turned to the girl and said, "By the way, Katrina, let's put that on for now!"
"Bastard, give me back my wand. The Slytherin student saw Albert leave with his wand, and his nose was crooked.
"Oops, what did I just hear?" Fred looked at the gloomy Slytherin student, "Now, Slytherin is directly at the bottom." ”
"You bastards, wait for me. ”
"Let's go, go back and tell everyone the good news. Lee Jordan laughed happily, "Now, Slytherin House is completely planted." ”
"Yes, go back and tell everyone!" Fred said, returning to the common room with his roommates, leaving a stunned Katrina and the Slytherin students with distorted expressions.
In the afternoon, the students who passed through the foyer quickly had the idea of the change in points, and the points of Slytherin House were deducted by eighty points at once, and they instantly became the bottom existence in the house, plus the publicity of Fred and several people, the four of Slytherin instantly became celebrities, and they made trouble for new students in front of a professor, and the result was of course deducted points.
The four Slytherin students suddenly became "heroes" in the mouths of countless people, and the Slytherin students naturally did not give the four "traitors" a good look. Due to their "brainless behavior", Slytherin directly lost the chance to compete for the House Cup.
Of course, Snape's face is also very dark, after all, a professor directly pointed out that several senior students in his own college actually licked their faces to bully a freshman, is this not even cheeky?
