Chapter 36: Exam!
Ron waited for them to come back in the dark common room, unknowingly falling asleep. When Harry shook him violently, he was yelling about some Quidditch foul or something. However, after a few seconds, he was fully awake and listened intently to Harry's account of what had happened in the forest to him, Liu Jiecao, and Hermione.
Compared to Ron, who was asleep, Hermione hadn't slept all the time, and she had been waiting for everyone to come back.
Harry was too excited to sit down. He was pacing up and down in front of the fire, still trembling.
"Snape is going to get the Philosopher's Stone for Voldemort...... Voldemort waited in the forest...... We thought that Si Gangjin was just trying to make a fortune from the Magic Stone......"
"Don't say that name anymore!" Ron whispered in panic, as if he was worried that Voldemort would hear.
Liu Jiecao knew that Ron was right, because the name Voldemort had been enchanted, and once it was mentioned, Voldemort himself would know.
Harry didn't listen to Ron, though.
"Ferenze saved me, he shouldn't have done it...... Bane was annoyed...... What to say such a thing that would disturb the foreshadowing of the stars of destiny...... The astrological signs must indicate that Voldemort is making a comeback...... Bane thinks Ferenze should let Voldemort kill me...... I guess that's also in the astrological signs. ”
Liu Jiecao nodded secretly in his heart, this is indeed the case, but the horse man only saw this fragment of fate. Harry had to die at Voldemort's hands, which was indeed something that had to happen in the future, but not in the present, and the astrology of the centaurs was still too one-sided.
"Can you please stop that name again!" Ron said in a low voice.
"So I'll have to wait for Snape to steal the Philosopher's Stone," Harry continued excitedly, "and then Voldemort will come up here and kill me...... Okay, I guess Bane should be happy now. ”
Liu Jiecao felt that Harry had been driven half-crazy, and that Voldemort had put too much pressure on him before.
Hermione looked terrified, but she still managed to speak to comfort Harry.
"Harry, everybody says. The only one the mystery man had been afraid of was Dumbledore. With Dumbledore here, the mystery man won't hurt you a hair. And, who said that the centaur must be right? I thought it sounded like fortune-telling, Professor McGonagall said, a very inaccurate kind of magic. ”
It was only when the sky began to light up that they stopped talking, their throats were dry and painful, and they went to bed exhausted.
However, there was an accident waiting for Harry that night. When Harry pulled back the sheets, he found his invisibility cloak neatly folded. Place under sheets. There was also a note pinned to the invisibility cloak, which read: Just in case.
This is the weapon that Dumbledore gave Harry to pass through at night, and it is also one of his most important tools in the future, how could he tolerate Harry to lose it casually? It was sent back, which is perfectly normal.
Harry would probably never remember how he had passed those exams, because he had been on the lookout for Voldemort breaking through the door. But as time passed, it seemed that Louwe was still behind the locked door. Live unharmed.
The weather was very hot, and it was even hotter in the large classroom where they were answering questions. The teacher gave them new quill pens for the exam, all of which recited anti-cheating mantras.
There are also hands-on exams. Professor Flitwick told them to go into the classroom one by one to see if they could make a pineapple tap dance across a desk. Professor McGonagall watched as they turned a rat into a snuff box—the more elaborate the box. the higher the score; If the box still has a mouse's whiskers on it, points will be deducted. During the Potions exam, they struggled to remember how to mix the Forgotten Potion. Snape stood behind his back and watched closely, both of them feeling his breath behind their necks. It made them very nervous.
Harry threw himself into the exam wholeheartedly, trying to forget about the sharp tingling in his forehead. The feeling of pain had been haunting him since he had last returned from the forest. Neville saw that Harry had not slept well all night. Thought he was suffering from severe exam phobia.
In fact, Harry was constantly awakened by the nightmare of the past, and it was worse than it was in the past, because there was another hooded figure with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Unlike Harry, when Liu Jiecao used "condensation" to look at Harry, he only felt a strong fluctuation of the black qi, which continued to improve Harry's strength, but made Harry's whole person gradually bias towards Voldemort's characteristics.
Harry's protective charm must rely on blood to maintain, he has not stayed with his relatives for almost a year, and the protective charm is in a weakened state, so through contact with Voldemort, the remnant of Voldemort in Harry's Horcrux has been reactivated.
Of course, the remnant has not yet fully awakened, it is only in a stage where it is about to wake up. The protective charm is still working on it, and it is still suppressing it, and no matter how bad it is, it does not mean that it is completely ineffective.
Ron and Hermione weren't as worried about the Philosopher's Stone as Harry was, perhaps because they hadn't seen what had happened to Harry in the forest, or maybe because they didn't have the burning scar on their foreheads. Voldemort did frighten them, but he was an abstract concept that didn't haunt their dreams, and they were busy reviewing their homework all day, and they didn't have time to worry about what Snape or anyone else might do.
The last exam is the history of magic. Just hold on for another hour and answer which eccentric old wizards invented the automatic mixing crucible, and they'll be free, and they'll be free to play for a whole week until the exam results are announced. When Professor Binns' ghost told them to put down their quill and roll up the parchment for their answers, Harry couldn't help but cheer along with the rest of the class.
Liu Jiecao glanced at these guys indifferently, and didn't feel how difficult the exam was at all, his level had already exceeded the first grade.
The books in the library have basically been scanned, and the remaining number can be completed in the next time.
He was already vaguely impatient to continue to stay in the world of "Harry Potter", after all, the basic purpose had been achieved, the Book of Creation had basically been completed, and all that was left was the details, and he could have set up a doppelganger to do it for him.
Well, I have to say a word. When the Book of Creation was completed by borrowing false cultivation, the system of combining telekinesis with magic had been integrated into a supernatural system, which completely sublimated the Book of Creation.
Nowadays, Liu Jiecao has no problem at all just copying telekinesis abilities, magic, abilities, and even supernatural powers.
He's copied everything from everyone, and with Raven's clone ability, he can leave only one clone in this fantasy world and continue with the rest of the story.
However, the first year was not over yet, and things should not be abandoned halfway, so he did not leave immediately.
He looked at the others discussing the exam, and his attitude seemed extremely detached.
"It's a lot easier than I thought." As they followed the crowd to the sunny field outside, Hermione said, "I don't really need to remember the 'Werewolf Code of Conduct of 1637' and the story of the elf rebellion. ”
Hermione likes to revisit the exam after it's over, but Ron says it makes him sick. So they walked slowly down the slope to the lake, and sat down under the tree with a plop. Over there, a large squid is lying in the warm, shallow water basking in the sun, while the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan are gently fiddling with its tentacles.
"How nice, I don't have to review anymore." Ron exhaled happily and lay on the grass with his limbs stretched. "Harry, be happy, we'll find out how bad the exam was in a week, there's no need to worry about it now."
Harry rubbed his forehead.
"I wonder what that means!" "My scars hurt all the time—they used to hurt before, but never as often as they do now," he said suddenly and with exasperation. ”
"Let's go see Madam Pomfrey." Hermione suggested.
"I'm not sick," Harry said, "and I think it's a warning...... It means that danger is coming......"
Liu Jiecao said secretly: "This is not a warning, it just shows that Harry clearly senses that Voldemort's power is getting stronger, and this is the induction of the remnant soul to the main soul." It seems that the unicorn's blood is really good, except for the curse, everything else is completely good. Even a guy like Voldemort, now the blood of the two unicorns has restored him to this point. It could also be that Harry himself was too weak, too affected by the remnant, and felt the stinging sensation of its oppression. ”
Ron couldn't keep his spirits up, it was too hot.
"Harry, relax, Hermione is right, as long as Dumbledore is around, the Philosopher's Stone will not be in danger. In any case, we found no evidence to determine that Snape had found a way to subdue Loewe. He almost broke his leg last time, and he wouldn't rush to risk it again. If even Hagrid betrayed Dumbledore, then Neville could have been selected for the English Quidditch team. ”
Harry nodded, but he couldn't shake off a vague feeling that he had forgotten to do something, something very important.
When he wanted to explain the feeling to his two friends, Hermione said, "It's all about the exams. I woke up last night and was busy reviewing my notes for the Transfiguration class, when it dawned on me that we had already passed that class. ”
Harry was sure, however, that feeling of uneasiness had nothing to do with the exam. He watched as an owl flapped its wings across the blue sky and flew in the direction of the school, with a note in its mouth.
Hagrid was the only one who wrote to him. Hagrid would never betray Dumbledore. Hagrid would never tell anyone how to subdue Lowe...... Never......
But—Harry suddenly jumped to his feet.
"Where are you going?" Ron asked, sleepy.
"I suddenly remembered something." Harry said. His face turned pale. "We must go to Hagrid right now."
"Why?" Hermione gasped and asked, trying to catch up with him. (To be continued......)
