The years go by, and the peaceful times usually pass very quickly.

Time passed day by day.

Winter is gone, summer is coming, and the weather is getting hotter.

Transfiguration classes began to be substituted by other teachers, with Professor Sinista in charge of the first grade.

In the castle, since then, there have been no "accidents".

......

And as the final exams approached, everyone had to forget about the unpleasant things that happened in the past six months, including the vampire teacher who taught them for most of the year.

They had to devote themselves to revision, trying to memorize complex potion recipes, memorize spells and spells, and keep track of major magic inventions and the time of the Elven Rebellion......

Hogwarts is very strict about students' grades! In the main course, any course with a grade below A must be retaken in the second year, and if three subjects are below A, they will be repeated, or even expelled.

[Note: A (Acceptable) means a passing grade.] 】

However, for Matthew Wakefield, he probably won't have that concern.

Miss Hermione Granger, on the other hand, was reading her book day and night as if she were holding her breath as she approached her final exams.

......

Because the weather was too hot, they were also very tormented in the large classroom answering questions.

After the Charms class, Miss Granger burst into tears. She said that she rested too late last night, and her mental state was extremely poor when she answered the questions today, and she answered many questions that she had obviously reviewed incorrectly. Several Ravenclaw girls hurried over and comforted her.

And in the practical exams that followed, Matthew performed perfectly.

With ease, he turned one of the mice that Professor Sinista had handed him into a snuff box with an extremely elaborate pattern. Professor Sinista, who had always been stern, couldn't help but cast an approving glance at him.

And when he was taking the Potions exam, Professor Slughorn couldn't help but applaud when he looked at the Forgotten Potion that Matthew had concocted.

The final exam was the history of magic class, as they filled in the dates of Merlin and Morgana's birth and death, as well as the inventors of the bone-building spirit and the refreshment potion...... This also means that this whole school year is coming to an end.

When Professor Bassat ordered them to put down their quill pens and the parchment of their answer sheets, many students cheered.

......

And on the last day of the semester, at the year-end banquet before leaving school, Matthew saw Principal Grindelwald again.

His appearance is still so magnificent.

President Grindelwald delivered a not-so-long message:

He hoped that the Year 7 graduates would be able to work hard after leaving Hogwarts, and that the students of other years would have a happy summer vacation, but also try not to forget everything in their minds.

Then, as Professor Grindelwald sat down, they began to enjoy the last dinner of the semester.

......

That night, the final exam results were announced.

Matthew has an O (Outstanding) grade in all of his courses.

In addition, he also won the first place in the whole grade, which also surprised him a little. After all, before the final exam, he didn't go to revision very deliberately.

So he always felt that Hermione Granger should have a higher score than him. However, it may be that Hermione used too much force, which caused her to perform abnormally many times during the final exam......

Malfoy and Knott also had pretty good grades, at least with most of the course grades being E (ExceedsExpectations, exceeding expectations), and the transcripts weren't ugly.

As for Crabbe and Goyle, it's a bit worse. Crabbe got a P in Potions, and Goyle got a P in History of Magic class, and he got a D (Dreadful, terrible) in Transfiguration.

Thankfully, none of them should have to repeat a grade or be expelled.

......

The next day, Hogsmeade Station.

The bright red Hogwarts Express stopped on the tracks once more, and the station sounded the cheerful whistle of a steam locomotive.

The students' suitcases and pets had been put on the train by the house-elves the night before.

Professor Kettleburn boarded the train with the first-year students. Then, they sat on the express train and talked and laughed all the way.

Watch the countryside grow greener and cleaner outside the window, listen to the sound of the wheels rolling on the tracks, and accompany the train through Muggle towns and cities.

They ate chocolate frogs and Bibi flavored beans, chatting happily with their longing for the summer vacation.

Finally, the train stopped at Platform 9 at King's Cross Station.

"See you next semester!" said Matthew to Malfoy, Knott, Crabbe, and Goyle.

After getting off the train, he found Neville and Hermione waiting for him.

Hermione was joined by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, and Parvati and Padma Patil.

"Matthew, are you really going to spend a summer in Diagon Alley?" Neville said with some confusion, "Actually, you can go to my house, my parents will definitely welcome you!"

......

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is completely closed during the summer.

Therefore, no student is allowed to stay in school during this time.

As for those "homeless" Muggle students, their summer arrangements have the following options -

The first is to go to a friend's house, a wizard's family, and spend a summer there.

Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, for example, was preparing to go to her friend Padma Patil's house.

Neville Longbottom was naturally happy to take Matthew to his house, and Draco Malfoy extended an invitation to Matthew...... It's just that Matthew eventually rejected them.

The second option is to stay in Hogsmeade, where many Hogsmeade shop owners are happy to take in Hogwarts Muggle students and let them work as "temporary workers" in the shops during the summer.

Hufflepuff's Justin Finchlie, for example, was so popular with the Rosmerthas at the Two Broomsticks that he stayed on Two Broomsticks for the summer.

Matthew, for a number of reasons, didn't make that choice either.

And the choice he made was the third:

Head to Diagon Alley in London for the summer and spend a summer there.

......

Matthew looked up at Neville and said with a smile, "Yes, I've decided, we'll see you in Diagon Alley in a while!"

"Alright, goodbye!" Neville nodded.

"Goodbye, Matthew!" Hermione waved at Matthew as well.

After saying his last goodbye to his friends, Matthew Wakefield strode into the huge fireplace room by the station.

Emerald green flames burned all around.
