Chapter 440: The End of the School Year
"Hey-hee-" Justin smirked, knowing what Owen was struggling with.
Sure enough, a good student is not so easy to be.
Of course—to say how irritable Owen is, it's not just to look at Justin's face.
Miss Granger is working harder than he is!
She had eleven exams.
I only have ten doors.
One less Muggle study than Hermione.
Thinking about it - wow- I feel so much better.
Tuesday, it's about protecting magical beasts.
The exam is not difficult at all.
The students were asked to accurately identify a dozen hedgehogs hiding in their hideouts, and the trick was to take turns feeding them milk, and the thorns were very suspicious and would erect their magical spines when they thought someone was trying to poison them.
In addition, there are ways to feed and clean a fire crab without getting badly burned, and demonstrate how to properly touch the Tree Guard pot to pick out the food to feed a sick unicorn from the many foods.
Wednesday morning was the Astronomy Theory exam, and since they had to wait until the evening to take the Astronomy Practice exam, the afternoon was changed to the Divination exam, and Hermione was Arithmetic Divination.
Truth be told, Divination - this exam should be renamed Hogwarts Art Exam Scene.
Because you hardly expect a group of young wizards who don't have prophetic talent at all to see anything decent in those crystal balls.
Most of the young wizards could only squeeze their heads into recalling the prophecies of the famous Divine Stick Professor Trelawney, and muffled their voices to all sorts of ambiguous prophecies that they themselves did not know what they were talking about.
Justin's stupid guy babbled on what he had seen a bald wizard, and it took him a while to realize that he was looking through a crystal ball to briefly state the appearance of the examiner sitting across from him.
Harry didn't let that far behind, he didn't distinguish between the wisdom thread and the lifeline in Professor March's palm, saying that Professor Ren should have died last Tuesday.
Hannah pretended to be presentable, she untied the braid on the back of her head in advance before entering the examination room, and entered with a cloak of hair, and when observing the crystal ball, she shook her head and shook her head for a foolish meal, Professor March's class obviously didn't believe it, in order to get a high score, Hannah secretly cast a wandless lighting spell to give the crystal ball a highlight!
But she had apparently forgotten that glass was reflective.
A flashbang exploded in front of her eyes, and Hannah couldn't dodge it, subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but slapped the crystal ball out of the air.
It happened to hit the knee of Professor Trelawney, who was accompanying the proctor.
Judging by Professor March's smiling and Professor Trelawney stumbling up and down the stairs beside her, Owen guessed that she should have at least a passing grade in her class.
After all—she's just performed a nice wandless silent lighting spell!
As for Owen - he certainly didn't inherit his grandfather's prophetic powers.
Merlin was also a famous prophet, but unfortunately it had nothing to do with him.
After staring at the crystal ball for a long time, he saw that the quality of this thing was not very good, there were many cracks and bubbles in it, and I was afraid that it could only be sold for a few dollars on the market, and he couldn't see anything.
But it didn't matter, he was much more clever than Hannah, and the silent wand illusion spell immediately stirred up a large cloud on the surface of the crystal ball, and then the cloud began to transform into Dumbledore's appearance - he seemed to be eating something.
Owen then immediately replied, saying that he had seen Professor Dumbledore stealing cockroach piles in his office!
Others on the side. The members were stunned when they saw this scene.
Can you still do that?
As a precursor to the Illusion Spell, they have all learned the Illusion Charm.
With this cheat opened by Owen, everyone was like an initiation, and the corners of their mouths rose wildly, making it difficult to hide their smiles.
Uh-huh – it looks like everyone should be able to get a good score in the divination exam!
After the messy divination and astronomy practice exams, the last exam on the history of magic was left for most young wizards.
Actually, the practical exams in astronomy are quite interesting.
They will give you a blank star map that you need to fill in with the position of the stars today.
It's easy, but it's a test of proficiency because the exam time is limited, and it's impossible for the examiner to allow you to spend five or six hours completing the star map.
Owen quickly found them all, and the rest of the time he didn't turn in the papers in advance, but looked through the telescope and looked at the starry sky - looking for a planet suitable for human life, such as Kepler 452b, about 1402 light-years from the solar system.
Well-the earth is too complicated, it's better to be alien.
After searching for a long time, he did not find this G-type main-sequence star in the constellation Cygnus.
The wizard's telescope was still too weak compared to the Muggle gamma-ray telescope, X-ray observatory, ultraviolet observatory, etc.
But it's useful for observing planets in our solar system, and it's as clear as taking a picture of a mountain with a camera.
After watching it for a while, Owen felt bored, and he wanted to find the star sea where the legendary Merlin was located.
Unfortunately, he didn't know where it was.
Thursday – It's the History of Magic exam.
This course is the most difficult for most young wizards.
Because it only has a theoretical part, it doesn't need to practice anything at all, and it depends on rote memorization to pass the exam, which is the most uncomfortable for wizards who are used to waving their wands.
The History of Magic is a thick book.
It's really hard to remember those complicated names, dates, historical events.
Most of the little wizards are close to the exam, and they haven't even finished reading their notes.
Owen himself is the same, he doesn't have any superpowers in this class. I don't know it, I don't know, can he still make up a piece of history randomly?
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the candidates dragged their tired bodies into the auditorium and sat down in front of the upside-down test papers.
"Open your papers." Professor Marchband said at the front of the auditorium as he immediately snapped the huge hourglass upside down, "You can begin." ”
Flipping through the specimen, Owen glanced at it first.
Good guys, it's not easy.
- Did the Wand Ordinance facilitate or help better control the elven rebellion of the eighteenth century?
How was the Secrecy Act violated in 1749, and what bills were introduced to prevent a similar situation from happening again?
- State the reasons and circumstances that led to the formation of the International Confederation of Wizards, and explain the reasons why the wizards of Liechtenstein refused to join......
It's all essay questions.
Owen shook his head, he flipped through the entire History of Magic, and it was also a signed version of Bathilda Basshat.
It was given to him by his grandfather, and Bathilda Bassat was his grandfather's aunt.
Although he had turned to the book many times, it was impossible to expect him to be able to recite it in its entirety like Hermione, but he still remembered some.
Then he began to answer.
- The Wand Ordinance was the trigger for the Goblin Rebellion, but it wasn't the main cause, as the Goblin Rebellion was quite common in the 17th and 18th centuries, with the early Brotherhood of Goblins in the 16th century
- In 1749, the Fantastic Beasts Riot triggered a crisis in the Secrecy Act, and in response to unregulated Magical Beasts, Section 73 was added to the Secrecy Act of 1750.
- The first president of the International Confederation of Wizards was Pierre Bonacud, but his appointment was questioned by Liechtenstein as Pierre tried to stop the hunting of trolls and give them the rights they deserved. For Liechtenstein, they have always had strained relations with some particularly vicious tribes of mountain trolls.
After two and a half hours of grogginess.
The March class professor told all the students to put down their pens and start rewinding.
For Harry Justin, the .ls exam is over, and they can indulge to their heart's content.
But he and Hermione had one last exam.
Alchemy.
Friday – A very small percentage of seventh-year wizards take the alchemy exam.
The Twins are also included.
In the morning, there is a written exam.
It didn't bother Owen and Hermione.
The textbooks used now are edited by these two people, and it is really funny that you use your works to test the authors.
In the afternoon, it was a practical exam, and Victor prepared several alchemical materials for them.
They are responsible for formulating an alchemical potion.
It's a bit like the Potions exam, except that alchemy uses minerals instead of herbs.
In fact, Victor was planning to test the little wizard to make a magical alchemy prop.
But that would be too time-consuming, and no one could have been able to complete the two hours of the exam.
Victor's alchemical potion is full of ancient magic.
That was the recipe he invented, and he succeeded, he developed an alchemical potion that could improve the physique of the human body.
The effect is obvious, after injecting into the human body, the body's organs, bones, and nerve response will be significantly improved.
Professor Marchie Ban tried the potion himself.
In this regard, she only used the word 'shocking' to describe the experience.
An invention of genius, an invention that is enough to change the world.
But Victor didn't care, he had a bigger vision in mind.
He is committed to transforming ancient magic and promoting people's livelihoods.
It's just one small step for him.
If it weren't for the fact that the affairs of the outer gods had delayed him too much, he should have been able to come up with a greater work.
————
The exam is over.
The little wizards are free.
Now, everyone can indulge and wait for the July exam results, depending on the results, they will decide on the courses and professors for the next semester.
Snape, for example, decided not to admit students with Potions scores below Merit.
This means that the vast majority of people are going to say goodbye to him.
"Thank goodness it's finally over"
"yes—it's over!" Harry said.
The auditorium was buzzing again.
Everyone sat around and talked to each other.
"I need to be completely relaxed now, I just saw Seamus and Dean, the two of them scraping together money to get some stuff to Hogsmeade, you know, for tonight's all-night celebration."
Yes – it's customary for every fifth grader to have an all-night celebration on the Friday night after the exams, as Saturday and Sunday are off.
It's a tradition.
"Not everybody welcomes the celebration." Hermione said flatly.
She's right.
Fifth-graders are hustle and bustle with joy or prepare for tonight's party.
The Year 7 students were somewhat sad, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of reluctance to part, and they used their last time to go to Hogwarts to leave memorials, after all, after graduation, many of them may never have the opportunity to return to school in their lives.
Like George and Fred, and Angelina, Hufflepuff Gawain, and Cedric, they're all graduating.
Of course, their moods are different.
The Twins reacted the lightest, their shop was in Hogsmeade, and they could come back at any time.
Cedric was relieved.
After about to get rid of someone, he was refreshed.
The others were really sad.
"Hey—I'm going to have a party in the Room of Requirement, which is a big place." That's when Owen walked over, "Most of the fifth graders are. Member. There were only a few Slytherins, and you wouldn't want to see Slytherin at the party anyway, would you? ”
"Good idea." Harry nodded approvingly.
"I'm in for a treat this time." "The drinks, the food, the candy, I took a lot of things from the store. There is also the latest milk tea. I call it 'Weasley'. ”
Ron's eyelids jumped, and he glanced at Owen with deep meaning.
"Great." George said happily, "It's long overdue to have a drink with our name, it's a sign, it's an encouragement to us, and there will definitely be a Weasley series of drinks in the future." ”
"Then you two come on." Owen said with a smile.
"Let's go—" he said, getting up, "let's go and set it up first." ”
"Okay!" The young wizards all stood up.
Everyone left the auditorium in droves and made their way to the other towers via the drawbridge, which was not in the tower where the auditorium was located.
It was a big party.
Everyone had a great time.
Of course, Owen was happier and tried his family's new milk tea, and the guys, who were two weeks away from the summer vacation, would definitely be tempted to try it again - at this time, they would have to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy it.
Now—he's made another profit.
And for Harry, this year's journey is not over yet.
Their last Quidditch tournament took place in mid-June.
Battle against Ravenclaw.
Whoever wins this game will win this year's Quidditch Cup.
Easily, Harry defeated Cho Chang, and although the opponent was very unhappy, he still calmly congratulated Harry on winning the championship.
As for Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
Hufflepuff finished bottom of Quidditch every year, and in Cedric's rising third year, they finished second.
As for the Slytherins, the long period of slackness led to their lack of run-in, and they were defeated by Ravenclaw with tactics. Against Gryffindor, Harry continued to show his flying skills. After only five minutes of the match, he caught the Golden Snitch.
In a sea of red, this year's Quidditch came to an unsatisfactory end.
And the House Cup – because this year's scores were rather confusing, so they weren't awarded.
On the last night at Hogwarts, the Year 7 students stayed awake all night, and the castle was full of them, and gradually, the night grew darker and darker, and everything would eventually be buried in darkness.
The next day, Hogwarts Extras arrived.
The elves put their suitcases on the train.
After a brief breakfast, everyone boarded the train to London.
"Where are you going for the summer vacation?" Harry sullenly asked in the carriage that he was going to stay at Dursley's house for a month, and that this was the last time he would stay there, as he would be an adult next summer.
"I don't know." Owen took Hermione's hand and leaned against each other.
This time they didn't sit in the cubicle. Rather, it is an ordinary car in the front row, with a hard seat.
"Then it's going to depend on who picks me up when I get off the bus."
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked, turning her head.
"If it's a member of the Rozier family, then I'll go home, if it's Dobby, then stay in London, if there's no one I'm going to sneak out, I want to go to the Far East."
"What about you?" He turned to look at Hermione.
"Me?" In her other hand, Hermione held a stack of Daily Prophets with some recent magical events, "Go home." She said.
"It's time to be blunt." Owen nodded, "Look what's going on in the last few years." The savior will be tired, too. ”
"Yes, Harry."
"Huh?" Harry looked up and looked at Owen's face innocently, "I just want to move out of the Dursleys quickly, I can't take it for a second." I didn't even want to get off the train for a while. ”
"You can sit here until the first of September." Owen quipped, "Or you can ask Professor Lupin to give you an internship."
I heard Cedric say that Cedric had set up a new department called the International Council for the Preservation of Wizards' Monuments, which was responsible for finding ancient ruins around the world and carrying out excavations, and that Professor Lupin was the head of this new department, from whom Cedric got his internship qualification. It's a great job, and it's great to travel around the world for free! ”
"Sounds good!" Harry said with some envy.
He searched for Cedric in the carriage, but was unable to find him.
People are probably exchanging affection with Qiu Zhang.
"Maybe in August, I'll have a chance!"
"That's right." Owen kicked Ron who was sitting across from him again, "What about Koyatl?" As far as I know, she has no home to go back to, and she can't go back to the United States right now. ”
"Sirius arranged for her to live at 12 Grimmauld Place." Ron said sullenly.
"What? Didn't have any arrangements to stay in the Burrow? Owen looked up and said, "My gut tells me that if she can agree to live at 12 Grimmauld Place, she will probably agree to live in the Burrow, why don't you try?" ”
"Intuition?" Ron raised an eyebrow, feeling unreliable.
"The instinct of the heir." Owen said, "You don't see the difference between her and the rest of you." ”
"The difference?" Ron frowned, "Is there one?" Why didn't I see it? ”
"Heh—you're stupid, Miss Granger is going to speak."
Hermione glared at Owen, then took a deep breath, her eyes falling on Koatle, who was sitting with Hannah, Justin, and Ernie, and she was sitting next to them, Hermione suspected that she had heard everything Owen had just said.
This made the little witch a little embarrassed.
