Chapter 425: Most Promising Newcomer Award

That night, the feast in the Hufflepuff common room lasted until the wee hours of the morning.

And because of the championship, several Hufflepuff students made surprising progress at the Patronus Charm Club at the end of the month.

Connor also summoned a full Patronus directly before the end of the club.

Not surprisingly, her patronus is a butterfly.

It was very beautiful, and between the wings and stirring, it cast a silver light like a star in the auditorium, which was dazzling.

Professor McGonagall looked at the silver butterfly in the sky above the auditorium and was heartily happy for Connor.

She felt that this was the best Patronus for Connor.

Professor McGonagall still remembers how she was when she first entered the school, apprehensive, shy, and silent...... When I see her, I'm almost always alone, and I never take the initiative to communicate with anyone else.

However, now Connor is not only cheerful and confident, but also has gained sincere friendship.

She is really like a butterfly, completing the metamorphosis little by little.

"It's a pity that such a good kid isn't in Gryffindor." Professor McGonagall sighed silently, and she suddenly became a little envious of Professor Sprout.

Perhaps stimulated by Connor, the silver cloud in front of Cedric began to solidify after a few minutes.

In the next second, a wild goose appeared in the sky above the auditorium.

Cedric took his wand and screamed and jumped excitedly.

"Good job." Professor Lupin smiled and said, "You guys really gave me a big surprise, I always thought that students below the sixth grade would not succeed until the end of the school year, it seems that I underestimated you."

"Then as a bonus, Hufflepuff plus fifty points...... Fifty points per person! ”

With this percentage added by Professor Lupin, plus the bonus points of the Quidditch champion, Hufflepuff's ranking directly became first, and it was more than eighty points higher than the second-place Slytherin.

And now there is only a month left until the end of the school year.

It's a pity that Kyle's Patronus didn't add points, otherwise they could have been a little more stable.

The House Cup was in sight, and the good mood of Hufflepuff lasted for a long time, and even the weather seemed to be celebrating.

As we approach June, the days become clear and hot.

It's the perfect weather to grab a few pints of chilled pumpkin juice, go fishing at the Black Lagoon, or snap a few rounds of cards.

But no, the exams are approaching, and the students can't be out there, they have to stay in the castle and force themselves to memorize the contents of that book.

Even Fred and George, who liked to be lively the most, began to work hard, running to the library whenever they had time.

5th grade to participate. LS (Ordinary Wizard Level Exam), whether they can freely study Weasley joke products in the future depends on the results of this time.

Kyle didn't have it easy, either.

Not because of the exam, but because of the paper he wrote for Transfiguration Today during his vacation, it finally came to fruition.

After so long, Kyle thought he didn't pass his paper.

However, at the end of a Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall revealed that his final test was set for the day of the exam.

As long as he passes, his paper will be published in the latest issue of Transfiguration Today.

So lately, Kyle has been reading books related to Transfiguration.

In this tense atmosphere, a month passed quickly.

During exam week, there was an unusually quiet place in the castle, and during lunch, many people complained that the exam was too difficult.

Especially in the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall asked them to turn a tortoise into a rabbit......

"The rabbit I conjured up can't run at all, how scary ......"

"You're okay, mine still has a shell, this will definitely deduct points."

Then everyone finished lunch and immediately went upstairs to test the spells.

However, as soon as Kyle reached the second floor, he was stopped by Professor McGonagall, who looked a little excited.

"The professors have agreed that you don't need to take the next Charms and Herbs exams." Professor McGonagall said, "Come with me, you have more important things to do now." ”

"Is it someone from Transfiguration Today?" Kyle asked, as he walked.

"That's right." "Year 5 and Year 7 exams don't start until 3 p.m., and they have just the time to do so," Professor McGonagall said. ”

"How's it going, nervous?"

Kyle shook his head.

He's been preparing for a month, and as long as those people don't deliberately make things difficult, there's nothing to be nervous about.

"That's good." Professor McGonagall quickened her pace, "As long as you can play properly, you'll be fine." ”

She leads Kyle to a classroom next to the library on the second floor, and pushes the door open.

In the room, three people were sitting talking and laughing.

Two middle-aged wizards in their fifties, and in the midst of them, sat an elderly witch with a rickety figure.

The witch was very old, her face was full of wrinkles, but she looked very good.

After the door opened, she glanced at Professor McGonagall, then quickly shifted her gaze to Kyle next to her, "Minerva, I think this should be Kyle, right?" ”

"You're right, Professor Marchie." Professor McGonagall turned and said, "Kyle, this is Professor Geseldarmachiban's Wizarding Examination Authority......"

"Wrong, Minerva, wrong!" Marchy said with a smile: "The fourth-grade exam is not in my hands, my identity for this hour is the editor-in-chief of "Transfiguration Today". ”

Then she looked at Kyle and said, "Minerva must have told you why you were called here." ”

"Yes." Kyle said, "Transfiguration Today's Most Promising Newcomer Award was assessed. ”

"That's right." Professor Marchbon said, "There is no need to be nervous, if the paper is really written by you, the content of this assessment will be very simple, and it will be over in ten minutes......

"But before I do that, I have to explain." She paused before continuing: "We've been busy with another important thing in recent months, so the assessment scheduled for Christmas has to be changed to now. ”

Kyle nodded in understanding.

Moreover, if she really came over during the Christmas holiday, she would probably have to run for nothing.

At that time he was in Nicol's house, and ordinary people could not find him.

……

Professor March's class didn't say too much to greet, and after a brief explanation, he went straight to the point.

She pulled out a thick stack of parchment from the box on the table.

"First, you need to retell the main gist of the paper."

"The stage difference between partial and multiple transformations......" Kyle blurted out.

After about a few minutes......

"Good." Professor Marchie nodded and gestured to a teacup placed on the table, "Then please transform this teacup three times...... This is to determine if you are really capable of completing those experimental arguments. ”

"No problem." Kyle pulls out his wand and points to the teacup.

The teacup became first a goblet and then a slipper...... Teapot...... Quill ...... Parchment.

There were five transformations in total, two more than the March class professor had requested, and although the final parchment was a little out of shape, it looked more like a hardwood board, but it was enough to surprise the others.

The two middle-aged wizards even stood up directly.

"Are you really just a fourth-grader?" One of them asked in surprise.

"I can guarantee that, Audley." Professor McGonagall stepped forward.

"It's amazing." Another person lamented: "I dare say that even most excellent graduates can't do it five times." ”

As they spoke, Professor Marchband had already put the parchment back in his hand in the box.

"Congratulations, your child has passed the assessment." She smiled and said, "Let's go to the exam, it should be too late." ”

Kyle was a little surprised, it was only less than ten minutes, right?

But it's good to be able to pass, he didn't say much, and after thanking him, he turned around and walked out the door.

Marchiban looked at Kyle's back, seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said, "Wait......"

Kyle, who had already reached the door, turned around.

"You're in the fifth grade next year, can you tell me what your birthday is?" Professor Marchiban said.

"Late July." Kyle said.

Professor Marchy nodded and said no more.

Only after Kyle walked out of the room did he look to the other side and asked, "Audrey, what is the age line they set, seventeen?" ”

"It's not decided yet."

Audley thought for a moment, "Most people are leaning towards sixteen, but last week, someone suggested that fifteen would be fine, and there was also support from some of them, and now they are hesitating. ”

"Oh, changed again? Who proposed the ......"

"Chris." "That's the deputy director of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control." ”
