"But after all, you are the descendant of the bloodline, what if there is any bloodline magic. Who knows? Owen feigned seriousness.

Although he himself feels.

But what if?

What if, that old bald man of Salazar Slytherin really left something that Voldemort hadn't discovered?

These are all Hogwarts treasures!

As a member of Hogwarts.

That's about his treasure!

His treasures!!

Can he not be in a hurry?

"Oh, yes - there's also an underground vault that I think you should check out, and maybe you'll be able to get Salazar's legacy the same way Miss Granger got the Gryffindor legacy."

"Need the Parseltongue to open too?" Koyatl said with an eyebrow.

"No—this time it's a lion's roar—haha." Owen suddenly laughed, "The heirs of Slytherin can speak snake language - the heirs of Gryffindor can speak lion roar - the heirs of Ravenclaw can speak eagle language - Hufflepuff heirs badger laughter!" ”

"Haha, that's interesting." He laughed heartlessly.

"You don't know the language of small animals, and you're embarrassed to say that you're a descendant of an ancient bloodline—"

"Speaking of which, I also know the language of small animals!"

Owen raised his head and said leisurely, "You don't know! His eyes lit up, and he instantly frightened the other little wizards present, "I can speak the language of foxes."

Da Chu Xing - Chen Shengwang. ”

“.”

Although none of the young wizards present understood Owen's bad jokes.

But Koyatl still felt that the boy in front of him probably had something wrong with his head.

As for Hannah next to him - they have long been used to it.

Owen would always be intermittently abnormal.

It's okay – just a few minutes.

Intermittent – does not interfere with normal life.

With Owen's demented speech, the little badgers finally opened up the conversation.

The room gradually burst into laughter.

It's as if as soon as you walk into a Hufflepuff common room, all your worries and sorrows are shut out.

Everyone was enthusiastic, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Slowly assimilating into the group, Koyatl found that everyone was actually very friendly, and after clearing up the misunderstanding, the little wizards didn't have any bad intentions.

Except for the Gryffindor trio.

Badgers laughed in the lounge.

Outside the window, the breath of spring is already strong.

The gentle wind blows gently, bringing vitality and vitality.

It gently brushes the branches, bringing green shoots and taking away the cold frost of winter.

A state of vigorous vitality has arrived.

Soon - naturally this wizard.

It will make everything warm and beautiful.

——————

Time began to fly by.

Professor Lupin returns to Hogwarts.

Harry guessed that Dumbledore probably didn't have a suitable candidate.

In fact, he was more looking forward to Sirius' return.

But to be honest, Owen thinks that of all the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over the years, the most competent is Professor Lupin.

Sirius—he's not suited, and if you're going to lead a student to face a dark wizard or a battle, Sirius would be fine, but as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, he's so incompetent.

When he returned to Hogwarts, his greatest role was to taunt and suppress Slytherin.

In addition, there is the battle with Snape......

There was no point, and it was impossible to persuade the two of them to give up this pointless fight or take a step back.

All in all, Lupin's return is a way to get the school back on track.

It only took him one lesson to capture the hearts of the little wizards.

Professor Lupin consulted with Victor to learn all about what the Pretenders are and their true body, Deathroots.

He told the young wizards the truth, and even borrowed the trophy that the Federation had seized from the United States, a "dead root" in a glass display case.

At this time, the little wizards knew that the original piece of soul and flesh fused together, and what looked like some kind of fungal plant was the true body of the [Pretender]. They are not aggressive at this time, and it will only come to life if someone puts it in the wizard's mouth.

And such a conversion will weaken the new body for a long time.

Therefore, capable [pretenders] will choose to perform some kind of evil sacrifice ritual, through sacrifice, they can grasp the host's body more quickly and devour the host's soul.

The response to these classes at Hogwarts was great.

Even many professors came to observe.

Hermione summarized the lessons she had listened to, as well as some of Owen's own research, into a single essay.

And publish the paper in the newspaper, hoping to let more people understand the truth of the [Pretender].

In the paper, she also suggested that the way to distinguish the [Pretenders] is the Patronus Charm.

The paper quickly attracted a scramble from major newspapers.

The wizarding world has even set off a wave of learning Patronus charms.

But that's for later.

In a flash, more than a month later.

As the .ls exam approached, everyone was finally back in the rhythm of Hogwarts.

Every day, the library is full, and everyone is trying to revise.

But they're not here for the exam.

Most of them are just for the sake of learning magic, for the sake of becoming stronger. In order to be able to live.

Rallies are also becoming more frequent.

Quidditch matches also began to take place as normal, with them once a week in an effort to determine the winner at the end of the semester.

————

The grounds of the castle glistened in the sunlight as if they had just been painted; Clear skies reflect on the shining, calm lake; The satin-smooth green grass occasionally ripples in the soft breeze.

June is here, and for fifth-graders, it means just one thing – their. The LS exam is finally here.

Teachers no longer give them homework, and class time is spent reviewing the questions that teachers think are most likely to come up on the exam.

Coupled with the chaotic world outside, the castle is full of dedicated but somewhat anxious little wizards.

Harry was busier than everyone else - he was busy with Quidditch matches, busy preparing for exams, busy with everything. of the assembly, practicing spells. I'm also busy learning Occlumency from Snape.

Sometimes Harry wondered if he could get Professor Lupin to teach him Occlumency.

If Professor Lupin knows how to spell it.

But it was clear that both Owen and Professor Dumbledore had suggested that Snape should come.

He is professional.

And this nervousness, although it is not much in other people, also affects them profoundly.

One day, after the herbal medicine class in the greenhouse.

Ernie, Justin Hannah, and the Gryffindor didn't leave.

They were sitting in shape-shifting chairs, reviewing lessons.

The greenhouse is a great place to be.

The place is large, and it is surrounded by all kinds of plants, and the air is fresh, for these plants, Professor Sprout has cast a lot of thermostatic magic, and he does not have to worry about cold or heat.

All in all, it's one of the best places to study at Hogwarts.

"How many hours a day do you think you can review?"

Ernie was leaning his neck back and saying.

Ernie was lucky, he was on the West Coast of the United States at the time, so he was lucky not to be involved in the war, but due to the shutdown of the Magic Congress, he couldn't go back to England, so he was delayed for a lot of time.

"I don't know," said Ron, "a couple of hours." ”

"More or less than eight hours?"

"I think it's more." Ron looked up at Ernie, then immediately lowered his head again.

"Are you crazy?" Ernie was shocked, "I think eight hours is the limit, I review for an hour every day before breakfast, an average of eight hours." If it goes well, I can study for 10 hours on weekends. I studied for nine and a half hours on Monday, not so well on Tuesday, only seven hours and a quarter of an hour, and then Wednesday ......"

If time permits, he will go on and on, detailing how he managed to squeeze out revision time.

Looking at the way he looks, if others have less time to review than him, he will get great satisfaction from the process of comparison.

It's not something to brag about, the key is not how much time you have, but whether you really master all the knowledge points.

"While you're talking nonsense, I've made a note of the medicinal properties of another herb." Justin said ruthlessly.

"By the way, what about Owen?"

"He asked us to review here, what about himself?"

"Do you think he still needs a review?" Harry raised an eyebrow and said.

"Uh-he's not an examiner, if he's an examiner, he'll definitely get very difficult questions."

"Where's Koyatl?" Hannah looked up.

"She doesn't need an exam." Hermione explained, "She's an exchange student, and she's in seventh grade at Ilvermorny this year, but she hasn't been in the whole seventh year.

So now just review the knowledge of the seventh grade, choose... Course.

In the second half of the year, I will follow the 7th grade class, and I will prepare for next year. The exam is fine. ”

"She's lucky then." Ernie muttered.

At this time, suddenly the door of the third greenhouse was pushed open.

It was Owen - he swaggered out.

"What did you do?" Hermione asked, looking at him.

"Uh-the professor got some new herbs, and I'll study and study it."

"You ran in and stole something?" Hermione's eyes widened and she said, "You asked me to review here not because I wanted to cover up, did you?" ”

"Why!" Owen immediately shook his head, "How can it be called stealing?" I'm here for research. ”

"So what?"

"Okay—just take a little, the professor can't find out."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course—the professor has set up a curse spell in those bonsai, and the legs of those who break into them will turn into beetles." Owen triumphantly said, "But it's completely trivial to me." ”

"And then Professor Sprout found out that her crop had been stolen and the curse hadn't taken effect, guess who would be the first to suspect in Hogwarts?"

"Uh-" Owen's face was stunned, and then he said directly, "Forget it, anyway, as long as I lose something, she will definitely suspect me, rather than this, it is better for me to really steal it myself!"

I can't afford to lose! ”

“.” Hermione rolled her eyes at him.

Owen and Professor Sprout were almost family, and the professor wouldn't blame him even if he knew.

He must be a little measured!

possible

Owen sat down with them, glancing over the lessonware that the little wizards were reviewing—that Hermione had sorted out, and it was ten inches thick—was that much?

What other manuscripts are you sorting out, hey!

Just memorize the textbook.

Moreover, the .ls exam is still a little watery, and the exam is divided into written and practical classes.

Needless to say, the written test can also guess the final score with reference to the concept, mainly the practical exam, and the examiner will not let you demonstrate all the spells in the textbook.

So, if you can know in advance which spell the examiner is going to take, and then study that one by surprise, then it will be easy to pass.

Like Draco's group of pure-blood wizards, with some connections in the family, they can always ask about the exam questions.

Before that, a few Slytherin students had been very angry outside the Potions classroom and the young wizards of the other houses, "You have to use the door, my family has had a good relationship with the head of the Wizarding Examination Board for many years, old Geselda Marchyban, who has come to my house for dinner. Something like that.

This caused the fifth-year wizards to fall into distrust of the Ministry of Magic again, for fear that they would send another stupid fool.

But this must have been just a boast of the Slytherin guys, and Lady Gestilda Marchiban was a Dumbledore through and through.

She was the wizard who supported him the most, even the earliest!

Because when the old principal took the graduation exam, it was invigilated by Ms. Geselda Marchban. From then on, she knew that the boy with extraordinary talent was bound to do great things in the future.

The sound of reading in the greenhouse was accompanied by the rustling of leaves.

The golden sunlight shines through the turquoise glass windows, casting a touch of life in this botanical paradise built of steel scaffolding.

As the sun sets, the little wizards disperse.

Within a few days, they waited for the time and specific arrangements of the .ls exam in an inexplicable atmosphere of anxiety.

"As you can see."

In the Hufflepuff common room, Professor Sprout was standing in front of a bulletin board.

Behind her, a flying pen on the bulletin board is writing the date and time of the exam.

"Your .ls exam will last for two weeks, with a written exam in the morning and a practical exam in the afternoon. Astronomy practical exams are scheduled in the evening. ”

"Well—it's all cliché, and I know you won't need it, but the rule is that I have to tell you something."

"Ahem." The professor coughed lightly and continued, "Your test papers have been subjected to the strictest anti-cheat spells, and it is strictly forbidden to bring auto-answer quill pens into the exam hall, as well as memory balls, detachable entrainment cuffs, and auto-error correction ink.

I would say that it is more than enough for you to cope with the exam. Take it easy!

Although in the past, almost every year there was at least one student who thought he would be able to evade the rules of the Wizarding Examination Board. But at least we haven't seen any more cheating students in the last three years.

I hope you will continue this tradition. ”

"Excuse me, Professor," Hannah said, her hand in the air, "when will we know our grades?" ”

"The Ministry of Magic's Examination Authority will be sent to you by an owl in July." Professor Sprout smiled.

"Great," Justin said happily, "we don't have to worry about it until the holidays." ”

"Yes!" "I have a hunch that this year's exams will definitely break the record of thousands of grades at Hogwarts, because we have the best students in this class." ”

The group of young wizards below blushed, and the professor's frank admission made him a little overwhelmed.

"Don't be shy, you deserve it."

"Of course, Professor! We're definitely going to break the record! I don't know who shouted at the bottom.

Instantly, all the Hufflepuff wizards were excited.

Everyone cheered each other on.

The atmosphere was very relaxed.

Koyatl was crowded on the couch by the little wizards, everyone was lively, and she was holding a copy of "Ancient Alchemy Revealed" in her hand, when the book fell to the ground, but she didn't notice.

Because, too, she was looking at Professor Sprout.

Something similar is happening in the towers of other colleges.

However, the styles of the deans were different, and Professor McGonagall's tone was more serious.

This can be seen from the serious and nervous expressions of the fifth-grade lion cubs on the second day.

The Hufflepuffs, on the other hand, were refreshed and smiling with a win-winning smile.

At lunchtime, while everyone was eating, they suddenly noticed that there were many strange wizards in the courtyard outside the auditorium.

They saw Professor Dumbledore walking from the stone bridge with a group of wizards who looked to be a thousand years old combined.

"Oh my gosh." Hannah stared at the hallway and whispered timidly, "Is that them?" Examiner? ”

"I guess so." Owen said.

As the exam approached, Hannah grew nervous.

Although everyone doesn't think that she will fail in the exam, she can't stop thinking wildly, such as that she will play abnormally, have an unexpected situation or something.

"Shall we take a closer look?" Justin said.

"What did you do in the past?" Owen grabbed an apple from his plate and took a bite, "Do they have horns on their heads or tails behind them?" ”

"Hurry up!" Hannah took the lead and pulled him out of the way, many of the students had this idea, and soon the auditorium was full of young wizards.

Harry and Hermione were in the crowd, their necks craned.

The one next to Dumbledore, a tiny hunchbacked witch.

She was Professor March's class, the examiner this time, and her face was full of wrinkles, like a spider's web.

"The journey was smooth and we arrived quite a bit early." Professor Marchband said loudly, she seemed to be a little behind her ears, and despite Dumbledore's proximity to her, she spoke in a loud voice, "Yes, the wizarding world is in chaos right now, and people are suspicious, as if the [Pretender] Death Eaters and so on could happen at any time, but I told them not to worry at all, because you're here, Albus, and I've always told my friends that as long as you're at Hogwarts, the school won't be chaotic." ”
