A friendly day at Hogwarts

Time has quickly entered June, and there are only a few weeks left before the last project, but the topic of the Triwizard Tournament has suddenly become less popular.It's not that the little wizards have lost interest in the competition, but the stressful final exams are coming.

Especially for the fifth and seventh grade students, even the usually lazy Eddie gave up his beloved reselling job and took the time to recite the definitions of curses and major historical events such as the goblin rebellion in the 18th century. .

In addition to the things that everyone else had to prepare, Qiu also had to spare time to practice actual magic spells with Glenn's company.

Fortunately, her current level is far higher than that of her peers. Even if it is a new spell that she has just come into contact with, she can still cast it properly after two or three attempts.

Including the silent spell that only appeared in textbooks in sixth grade, she also completely mastered it in a short period of time.

In the last week before the exam, they were given a specific timetable and detailed requirements.

"Your OWLs exam will last for two weeks." Professor Flitwick patiently gave them pre-exam tutoring. "Theoretical exams will be taken in the morning and practical exams in the afternoon. Of course, except for astronomy. As we all know, the exam for this course can only be taken at night. .”

Seeing that everyone was a little nervous, he even made a little joke to relieve it, although the effect was not very good.

"I must remind you that every exam paper has a particularly strict anti-cheating spell on it. All cheating tools are prohibited from being brought into the examination room, including but not limited to automatic answering quills, memory balls, cheat sheet sleeves and automatic error correction ink ." Professor Flitwick cleared his throat a little embarrassed and continued.

"Skeeter's shorthand quill should be included in this range, right?" Glenn fiddled with his wand boredly and casually said to Qiu standing aside.

Qiu Tuo gave him a cute look and ignored him.

"I suggest you not try to challenge the Wizarding Examination Authority's ability to prevent cheating." Professor Flitwick said seriously. "Cheating is not without precedent, but as far as I know, no one has succeeded."

He also looked specifically at Eddie.This kid has always had a lively mind and loves to take advantage of loopholes. There is no guarantee that he will not come up with any unreliable ideas.

"In addition, your grades and certificates will be mailed to you by owl before the end of July, together with the shopping list for next semester." Professor Flitwick added, "Well, if there are no other questions, you can go back and continue. Reviewed. Come on!"

Everyone responded perfunctorily and left the classroom in twos and threes.

"Don't ask me again..." Eddie said helplessly on the way back, "I really have no way to cheat. If I had, I would have sold it to you at a high price!"

During dinner time that day, a low-pressure area appeared on every long table, filled with fifth-grade students.

"Look at the door!" Someone whispered, "Is that them? Examiner!"

Everyone followed the sound, and outside the auditorium, a few old wizards and witches just walked into the foyer, and Dumbledore waved to greet them with a smile.

It can be seen that their status is not low, even Umbridge, who is the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic and the senior investigator of Hogwarts, is cautious and respectful.

Although she has not had any presence for a whole year, it is still the first time for everyone to see her looking so nervous.

Dumbledore shook hands and hugged the examiners one by one. In terms of qualifications, even he could not compare with these old wizards.Take Professor March as an example. She was even the examiner for Dumbledore's NEWTs.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they left the foyer accompanied by Dumbledore, probably going to the guest room upstairs to rest.

The next day, fifth and seventh grade students had their first exam.First up are the fifth grade students participating in OWLs, whose time is scheduled at 09:30.

The auditorium has been re-decorated, exactly like the situation described in the original book.The four college desks were moved away and replaced by many single desks, all facing the staff desk at the end of the auditorium.

The invigilator for this exam is Professor Snape, who is standing in front with a gloomy face.Next to him was a lectern with a huge hourglass, spare quills, inkwells, and rolls of parchment.

After everyone sat down and became quiet, Professor Snape announced the start of the exam.

The content of the exam is the theory of magic. For Glenn's level, questions of this level are almost without difficulty. If the exam did not allow early submission of papers, he could even leave the auditorium before the hourglass is halfway through.

The weather was just perfect today, with the sun shining through the huge arched windows, casting a golden glow. Almost everyone was burying their heads and writing furiously. The auditorium was extremely quiet, with only the rustling of quills and parchment.

Qiu also finished the test questions early, but she did not look around boredly like Glenn. She still lowered her head and patiently checked her answers over and over again.

She seemed to be so focused that she even ignored the strand of black hair quietly sliding down from her ear.

Since there were fifth grade students from other schools, they were uniformly arranged to take the exam at Hogwarts.

Morgana sat two rows behind Qiu and had already written all the answers.When Glenn cast his gaze, he saw her quietly waving towards him.

"5 minutes left!"

Finally, when Glenn was about to fall asleep after waiting, Professor Snape's cold and emotionless voice finally came.

Qiu Ye finally put down the test paper in his hand, stretched his sore back, and stretched out gracefully.

As if aware of Glenn's gaze, she turned her head tacitly and showed a shallow smile.

This scene also fell in Morgana's eyes, and her eyes became obviously dim.

The last bit of time passed quickly, and the last wisp of fine sand in the hourglass fell below. His Highness the Half-Blood Prince did not give any chance, and waved the wand without hesitation without saying a word.

All the parchments on the table rolled up instantly and flew towards Professor Snape.Cormac McLagan, who makes a fool of himself every day, seemed to remember that he had made a mistake, and wanted to reach out to grab his own test paper, but as expected, he missed it, and he almost lost his balance and fell.

Professor Snape glanced at him coldly, which made him break into a cold sweat, and he immediately became more honest.

When the seventh-grade exam was over and it was lunch time, four long tables reappeared in the auditorium.

After everyone finished lunch and returned to the classroom for class, it was the afternoon's turn for the practical exam.

They lined up in the auditorium, waiting for the examiner to call their names, and then entered the room next to the podium where the warriors gathered when they were first selected.
