HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Sunday.

In the lobby of the auditorium, a group of unfamiliar wizards with gray hair stood there, discussing something unknown; their quarrels could be heard from a long distance away.

"Do you think they are the instructors for the OWLs exam?" Pansy approached Lycoris mysteriously and whispered in her ear, "That short hunchbacked wizard should be Professor Marchbanks."

The Slytherin quartet saw them from a distance, but just glanced at them and continued walking towards the Great Hall.

They spoke very loudly, probably because they were a little hard of hearing, and Umbridge next to them also spoke very loudly to them.

"Yes, they are both very old and have been serving as instructors for OWLs exams for a long time." Lycoris knew something and lowered her voice and said, "Professor Marchbank was Dumbledore's instructor for the NEWTs exams."

"Isn't that longer than an old bee?" Draco turned to look at her, then at Lycoris. "Do you think she would tell me the secret to her longevity if I asked her?"

Students whispering to each other were everywhere in the Great Hall. Lycoris, Draco, Pansy and Nott, who were sitting at a long table, could also hear people discussing them.

"If you're taking the OWLs practical exam, I have a suggestion," Lycoris said. The OWLs exam instructor had no interest in the exam, and she drew the three people's attention back. "You can take the initiative to ask if there are any extra points."

"I know this," Nott said as he picked up a lamb chop and cut it. "You can get extra points for using the Patronus Charm in the Defense Against the Dark Arts OWLs exam."

"Is there such a good thing? Then I want to ask if there are extra points for the Potions OWLs exam!" Draco suddenly became more confident that he would get an excellent grade in Potions. He looked at Nott, "Do you know what extra points for Potions are?"

Nott shook his head and continued, "I agree with what Licorice said. After the end, we can ask if there are any extra points for the operation. If we do well, we can have more 'excellent'."

As the exam time got closer, Licorice ate a lot faster.

on Monday.

The exciting moment has arrived, the first exam is the theory of spells.

Lycoris raised her eyebrows as she looked at the OWLs exam environment in front of her, which was exactly the same as in the plunderer's memory. It hadn't changed in all these years.

These single tables really bring back long-lost memories.

Even the two-hour exam time is similar, Licorice thought to herself, and then received the parchment exam paper.

120 minutes is more than enough to complete these questions.

"Likelis, how did you do on the test?" Pansy asked about her feelings as soon as she left the exam room. She sounded frustrated, "I always felt like I missed something."

"Just forget about it after the exam. Don't think about it anymore!" Lycoris ruffled her short hair soothingly, comforting her, "We still have the next exam. Instead of regretting that you didn't do well in the spell theory exam, you might as well think about the actual spell operation in the afternoon."

"I feel great!" Draco boasted to Nott. He saw the Gryffindor trio out of the corner of his eye, cleared his throat and shouted, "I think there should be one 'Excellent'. With Lycoris's 'Excellent', we can have two!"

Hermione became even more anxious after hearing this, as she was worried that she hadn't written it well. Harry and Ron exchanged a glance and were about to go back in a sarcastic tone, but Hermione pulled him away quickly.

"Why are you pulling me here? I still need to argue with Malfoy!" Ron leaned on the Gryffindor sofa and said to Harry, "I just don't believe that Lycoris and the other two all got 'excellent' scores in spell theory."

"Charms is divided into two parts, spell theory in the morning and practical spell operation in the afternoon." Hermione rolled her eyes at the two idiots and continued, "If you fight, not only will it affect your mood for the exam in the afternoon, but you will also get hurt. And Malfoy is just feeling good about himself, and your big reaction will seem weird."

After a quick lunch, the afternoon exam was approaching.

In the order of last name, they go in groups of four. When the examiner has finished examining the students, the next examiner to come in will take his place.

"After you go in, don't let others affect your mood." Lycoris gave Draco a hug at the door and whispered in his ear, "I wish you good luck in your exams in advance."

The smell of Lycoris's voice made Draco's ears itchy. Draco rubbed his earlobes and pushed the door open.

Watching Draco leave, Lycoris looked at Potter not far away, tilted her head and smiled provocatively, and mouthed the word "Pensieve".

She knows!

Harry was shocked. How did she know that I had looked at her Pensieve?

After provoking Potter, Lycoris began to comfort Pansy who was mumbling beside her, "Relax! You can do it!"

"Likelis, I'm a little nervous." Pansy swallowed, "The examiners here probably tested my mother before."

"...Isn't that a good thing? We are acquaintances, but I've never met him before." Licorice gave her a hug.

"Pansy Parkinson, Harry Potter..." Professor Flitwick called out the names.

"I'm not nervous! I can do it! I know the Patronus Charm!" Pansy whispered to herself, pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a glass floating in front of Draco. Should it be a levitation spell?

"Miss Parkinson, is that so?" a lady who looked to be about the same age as Longbottom's grandmother spoke up. "I've met your father."

What did I say?

I didn’t just test my mom, I tested my dad.

"Yes, Professor." Pansy said politely, "It's an honor to have the same examiner as my father."

The lady smiled at her and began the formal examination. "See the golden cup in front of you? Please fill it with water and then freeze it."

Pansy knew that this was a test of a combination of two spells, the Spring Water and the Freezing Curse, so she waved her wand and began the test.

Draco in the previous group was still studying the Levitation Charm, and Harry officially began to practice his own spells.

"Malfoy, you have finished all the spells and you can go out." The examiner gave Draco Malfoy a good score and let him go.

Draco went out through another door, and Lycoris was called by name by Professor Flitwick.

"Ms. Snape, I have also tested a boy with this surname. Do you know him?" The examiner paused and continued, "Let's start the test. First, turn this mouse green, and then make it as big as Mrs. Norris."

Lycoris looked at the mouse on the table that looked as small as a hamster and waved her wand.

She casts spells with great grace and silently.

"Ms. Snape's operation was excellent. Next, make this mouse disappear."

A vanishing spell?

Licorice whispered a spell and waved her wand.

Soon Licorice finished the exam. She asked the professor if there was any extra credit, but the professor shook his head.

"Thank you, Professor," Lycoris bowed and said goodbye. Before leaving, she smiled and said, "If the Snape you are talking about is the Potions Professor of our school, he is my godfather."
