Chapter 126: Prophecy

It was fast approaching the beginning of June, and with exam week on the horizon, Hogwarts was filled with tension.

Monday morning is the Transfiguration exam, which starts with theory and then practice. Theoretical knowledge is good to say, as long as you memorize it carefully, it is easy to get a high score.

But in practice, it's different.

Turning one object into another, that's the knowledge of the first grade; Turning a small creature into a dead thing is the test point of the second grade. This year, the difficulty has been upgraded, turning dead things into living things.

This is the real foot in the door of Transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall asks everyone to turn a teapot into a turtle, and very few people complete it, and most of the turtles conjured up have obvious traces of a teapot, either the shell is a lid, or the tail still looks like a handle.

After the exams, Stewart and Anthony collapsed. They have been trained by Roger for a whole year, and they have a lot less time to study.

Anthony's tortoise shell has a handle on it, and it has a teapot pattern on it, and Stuart is even worse, but with the shape of a tortoise.

"It's over, I'm afraid I'm not going to get a t this time!" Stewart exasperated.

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall will never give a student a t." Terry reassured, "D, nothing. ”

In the afternoon, it was the Charms exam, and this time everyone played well, and Stewart had a smile on his face again. The Happy Charm wasn't too hard to magic, and he even thought he was going to get an e.

On the morning of the second day, Ike had to take three subjects at the same time, magical animal protection, arithmetic divination, and Muggle studies. It's not that hard, and Hagrid has a problem that almost everyone can get an o: take care of the Flober caterpillars so that they will be alive in an hour.

Regardless of these disgusting bugs, the Flober caterpillar is best alive in a laissez-faire state. On the other side, arithmetic divination is a little troublesome, and Ike has a piece of paper full of words, and he needs to use arithmetic divination to write the ominous signs given in this article.

It took a lot of calculations, and several people crashed.

Muggle studies are about the same level of difficulty as a Fantastic Beasts conservation class, and it's easy to complete the paper, and there is no difficulty at all.

In the afternoon, Defence Against the Dark Arts and without any written exams, Lupin sets up a field where the students need to tackle Grindello, Red Hat, Hinkpunk, and Boggart in turn. These are all things he has talked about in class this year, and the vast majority of them have passed without any problems, but it is only a difference in the length of time.

Wednesday morning was Snape's Potions exam, and after writing a long paper, he needed to successfully brew a Potion of Confusion. This was not difficult at all for Ike, who had been practicing potions for almost a year, and Snape didn't even look at it before kicking Ike out.

The same was true of the ancient magic script in the afternoon, and Professor Bascheda drew an O for Ike without even looking at his test paper. At the same time, it is not difficult to learn herbology, and the simple repotting work is easily completed with dragon skin gloves.

However, astronomy at night was a bit troublesome, and the sky was a little overcast, blocking a large part of the starry sky. Ike had to cast an eagle-eye spell on himself to keep his eyes through the clouds.

The history of magic has always been the easiest exam at Hogwarts, and Professor Binns almost only tests the major events in history. In the afternoon, Ike finally ushered in his last subject: divination.

Everyone stood outside Trelawney's wooden door, and one by one they went in to take the test, and Ike didn't go in until the end.

"Look at this crystal ball and tell me what you see?" Xu had said it too many times, and Professor Trelawney looked tired.

Ike nodded, sat down across from Trelawney, rested his hands lightly on the crystal ball, and slowly closed his eyes. When I opened it again, a blurry picture appeared inside.

"Dark Shadow, Changing Dark Shadow ......"

"So, what do you think it looks like and what do you want to tell you?"

"People, many people, different people......" Ike suddenly had a hint of realization, and said uncontrollably:

"Curses bring hope;

Misunderstandings persist;

Hope flashes white;

Dispel the darkness that obscures the sun;

Note!

Lingering in the swamp!

On a starless night;

Evil will return! ”

Professor Trelawney's eyes burned as he watched the crystal ball glow faintly blue, and couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Congratulations, Mr. Stred, for making a true prophecy. Congratulations, got an o! ”

Ike came back to his senses, still remembering everything he had just said in his mind, and his expression couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"Thank you, Professor......"

Suddenly, Ike pulled out his wand, and the tip of the wand shone brightly.

"Forget it!"

Seeing Professor Trelawney's confused expression, Ike silently put away the blue crystal ball, turned it into a marble-sized one, and replaced it with a new one.

"Professor, Professor!"

With Ike's call, Professor Trelawney came back to his senses. He glanced blankly at Ike and the transparent crystal ball in front of him, and his attention fell on the report book in his hand again.

"Can I leave?"

"Ah...... Oh! Okay, Mr. Stride. After Ike left, Professor Trelawney sat in his chair for a long time.

Scratching his hair, he muttered, "Did you drink too much sherry......

And Ike, who walked out of the divination classroom, quietly crushed the marbles in his pocket.

As Trelawney said, this is a true prophecy, and Ike, who already understands what it says, can't let anyone else know. This is what destroyed the crystal ball, and so was the Oblivion Charm on Trelawney.

This time, Ike was confident that the lv6 Oblivion Charm was enough to make Trelawney forget what had just happened.

Back in the common room, everyone was discussing the content of the exams these days with a relieved look. Stewart, on the other hand, looked a bit devastated, and according to his assessment, he barely scored an O in a single subject, which was much worse than last year's.

In fact, because of Quidditch training, all the players' results have dropped, and even if the results have not yet come out, they know it. But the Ravenclaws never worry about their results, and they are never afraid in this regard.

This kind of casual hard work can be obtained by nothing, compared to the Quidditch champion!

Ike smiled and leaned over, reached out and summoned the paper bag, took one out and threw it into his mouth. He enjoys the plainness and purity of the present, everyone puts their worries and joys on the bright side, and everyone is as simple as a blank sheet of paper before they are overwhelmed by the troubles of growing up.

Dinner was a little more hearty than usual on the day of the exam, and everyone was celebrating, especially the fifth and seventh graders, and some even cried.

Anyone who hasn't been through the OWLS and Newts exams can't understand what it's like to live a lifetime, but Ike understands it a little bit.

Just like the students who have passed the college entrance examination will always have a night of fun, this is the madness of the long-term pressure that is suddenly released.

With laughter, Ike looked at the vacant seats in the professorship's chair and quietly left.

Put on the illusion charm and walk out of the castle like a ghost. In the sky, the clouds were thick, and the beating willows in the east loomed.
