Chapter 205 The Year of the OWLs

"If you hear anyone saying that the mysterious man is back, I hope you can report to me." Professor Umbridge put on her trademark smirk again, "We need to kill such rumors. Turn the book now to..." Umbridge stopped again as Jacqueline smiled and held up her hand.

"What's your name?" asked Professor Umbridge.

"Jacqueline, Jacqueline? Graham." Jacqueline smiled more and more friendly.Pansy pretended to read by her side, but both of her ears were pricked up.

"Yes, Miss Graham." Professor Umbridge's smile turned flattering.

"I think you're quite right, Professor Umbridge. There's nothing waiting out there," Jacqueline said with a smile, and Hermione turned and stared at her incredulously, "But, I can ask you a question ?"

"Of course, dear," said Professor Umbridge softly.

"Since there is no danger outside the school, of course, there is no possibility of any danger in your classroom." Jacqueline smiled until her eyes narrowed, "Then when will we encounter danger? "

"No one would attack a child like you," said Umbridge affectionately.

"Then I'm very curious, Professor." Jacqueline said in a tone of pretending to be puzzled, "If we don't have to worry about anyone's attack, then this class, this Defense Against the Dark Arts," Jacqueline thoroughly He squinted his eyes, like a fox before pounced on its prey, "Is there still a need to exist?"

There was an uproar in the classroom, many Gryffindor students even wanted to applaud, and many Slytherin students burst into laughter.

The smug smirk was wiped from Professor Umbridge's face, and she glared at Jacqueline with a look of exasperation.Jacqueline totally put on the look of me being curious.It was very easy, and if she couldn't do it, Yuna might turn her extracurricular practice three times a week into three times a day.

"Turn to the fifth page of the book and read 'Chapter 1, Getting Started with Basic Principles'. Don't whisper while reading." Professor Umbridge said in a high, scary voice, and then she looked at Jacqueline, and Jacqueline Guilin was reading hard with her head down at this time. "After class, please stay for a while, Miss Graham."

The classroom was not quiet for long when the get out of class bell rang.Almost all the students in the class rushed out of the door.Hermione turned her head and asked Jacqueline silently, Jacqueline shook her head slightly, and Umbridge stared at them from the podium.

"I'll wait for you outside the door." Pansy said softly, and she and Hermione walked out like two strangers.

"I'm very sorry, Professor Umbridge." After all the students in the classroom had left, Jacqueline walked up to her. Before Umbridge could speak, she said, "I didn't mean to embarrass you. , I’m just really curious. I assure you, I will never ask you such an embarrassing question again.”

Jacqueline said sincerely, reaching forward, "Please believe me, I am really very sorry."

"I think you're a very good student, Miss Graham," said Professor Umbridge in her little girlish voice, and she reached out and briefly shook Jacqueline's hand, and that was enough. "Mr. Minister would like me to send you his regards."

"Thank you very much." Jacqueline withdrew her hand, "I apologize again, Professor Umbridge."

"She didn't put you in confinement, did she? She absolutely couldn't do that!" Hermione asked with a slap in the face as soon as Jacqueline walked out of the classroom. "Her confinement can be said to be undisciplined, but she can't confine you for your question! I read the Hogwarts school rules last night, and she can't do that."

"She can make up any excuse she wants if she wants." Jacqueline waved her hand, and the three of them walked towards the auditorium together, "but don't worry, Granger, as long as my last name is Graham, even if I put Say what Potter said again today, and she will not punish me in any way."

Hermione looked greatly relieved, "I knew it." She said with some relief, "She is not a teacher who treats everyone equally."

They walked into the auditorium, and when they were about to say goodbye, Hermione suddenly lowered her voice and said to Jacqueline, "I have an idea, a very vague idea."

Jacqueline gave her a sideways look, not understanding what she was trying to say.

"I might need your help later," she continued in a low voice, "You'll help me, won't you?"

Jacqueline looked at her, and Hermione looked very seriously.Jacqueline then swallowed what she was about to say, "It depends on what you're going to do."

"I'll let you know when the time comes." Hermione looked very happy, and she walked quickly towards Harry and Ron.

"I don't see why you want to get into this mess." When Jacqueline and Pansy sat down at the Slytherin table, Pansy looked very serious, "Why do you want to offend the undercover sent by the minister? "

"Because Fudge will never believe that our family is single-mindedly on his side." Jacqueline took a piece of blueberry pie, "If I behave too well, she will be suspicious instead. What's more," Jacqueline said Winking at Pansy, he put the pie in his mouth, "This is a good opportunity to practice."

"A chance to practice?" Pansy looked at Jacqueline in a daze. "What are you talking about? I don't think Professor Umbridge will give us a chance to practice with a wand."

"That's not the only thing they do." Jacqueline smiled and shook her head. "This year's Hogwarts will be very fun."

"If you finish eating," Yuna's voice suddenly rang in the back of their heads, "come to my office at eight o'clock, and your training will start today." After she finished speaking, she calmly walked to the teacher's seat.

"Training, what training?"

"You don't want to know, Pansy." Jacqueline fished out her homework notebook from her schoolbag, "My God, it's only the first day of school, and there are already two papers? Plus Three times a week? Merlin, I'm feeling the pain of this so-called OWLs year."

"I wish I wasn't the first to fail," Pansy said. "What time will you be back today? I can't figure out the properties of moonstones or anything about giants by myself."

"I don't think I'll be able to do anything when I get back." Jacqueline stood up, and she patted Pansy on the shoulder. "Or we can write now."

"But now..." Pansy glanced at her watch, "Hey, okay, okay."

"You look terrible." In the first Charms class the next day, Hermione frowned when she saw Jacqueline for the first time, flipping through her textbook while shaking her head. asked without looking up. "When did you write your homework yesterday? Is Professor Binns and Professor Snape's homework not that difficult, or are you doing your unknown 'extracurricular activities' again?"

"Good morning to you too." Jacqueline said to Hermione weakly lying on the table, "That's not my own 'extracurricular activity', it's my mother's little stove. Hey," she sighed He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "I really hope I can still apply for a time-turner from Professor Snape. But that's useless, what I need more now is not time or energy. If there is in this world..."

Hermione had been waiting for her next words, and when she couldn't bear it and turned her head to look, she realized that Jacqueline had already fallen asleep on the table.She turned her head and told Harry and Ron, who were sitting next to them, to shut up.

Every professor seems to be determined not to let them have a good year. The teacher of Charms, the short Professor Flitwick, told them in a shrill voice that the OWLs exam will affect their future for many years to come. And spent more than an hour reviewing the Feilai spell, and assigned them a lot of spells as homework.

Prof. Sprout also stressed the importance of OWLs to them, and then, after they had played with dragon dung for a class, one of Sprout's favorite fertilizers, they were assigned a paper.

In the protection of magical animals class in the afternoon, Hagrid still didn't show any signs of returning. Professor Graplan brought them a kind of elf that looked like wood, each with brown and pimples. Legs and arms, two twig-like fingers on each hand, and a creature with twinkling little round brown eyes on each flat, bark-like funny face.That's a Bowtruckle, rumored to be the protector of trees, usually living on wand trees, and they only eat wood turtles or fairy eggs.

Professor Graplan asked each of them to submit a sketch, marking each part of the Bowtruckle's body. If it was not completed in class, it had to be made up after class.

Professor McGonagall of the transfiguration class told them very seriously that if they did not study hard, practice and apply, they would not be able to pass the OWLs exam.Then it took 0 lessons to explain the Vanishing spell, which is a bit easier than the Summoning spell that you only practice when you reach the NE.w.Ts level, but it is still the hardest magic that will appear in the [-].w.Ls exam .

Before the get out of class ended, except for Jacqueline, who could barely make the snail they used for practice disappear successfully, no one else could do it.This also saved Jacqueline from practicing the spell overnight.

But in fact, Jacqueline was tired, very tired.This kind of fatigue would appear on the second day after she finished the small stove Yuna prescribed for her during the summer vacation.It had absolutely nothing to do with whether she had gotten a good night's sleep the night before, it was mental fatigue.However, the advantage of practicing over the summer is that she doesn't have any classes the next day and doesn't need to worry about homework.But now, facing so much homework, she feels that she is not far from collapse.

Homework comes and goes, goes and comes.She began to wonder if the professors simply didn't care if they were able to complete the assignments, or if they just liked seeing them tortured.The Slytherin lounge was more gloomy than before, and everywhere there were students with their motors running at full speed, desperately doing their homework.Even Goyle and Craub sat down at the table in moderation, which is very telling.

Malfoy vented his anger on others.As long as anyone made the slightest noise while he was doing his homework, he would lock them into confinement without the slightest hesitation.

Pansy spends hours every day muttering about how she can't finish her homework, it's true that most people's homework is made up, so they still have to write something in the few minutes before class submit.

But no one can work harder than Jacqueline. In addition to coping with a lot of homework, she also has two 'extracurricular activities', and both of them consume a lot of time and energy.Jacqueline feels that her current life is irregular at all. Except for normal class time, she tries to seize all the time to do homework and practice Animagus.Sleep when you are tired, and eat when you are hungry.

On several occasions, she sat at the auditorium table, fell asleep while eating, and almost fell into the plate full of food in front of her.In the kitchen, the house elves prepared all kinds of pies and desserts for her all the time.From the gazes of Pansy and Hermione, she knew how bad her complexion was, and she could probably catch up with the days of her magic riot.It's just that neither Pansy nor Hermione had much energy or time to ask her what happened.But even so, Yuna has no intention of letting her go, and Yuna's requirements are even stricter.

So, when the first Saturday morning after school came, Jacqueline lay on the sofa in the lounge, which was her bed for the week, and her mind automatically and consciously ran over what she had to accomplish today. Homework, and then found that she finally finished the last homework due next week last night or early this morning.

"Praise Merlin." She said weakly, packed up a few rolls of parchment on the tea table in front of the sofa, dragged her bulky body back to the room, and threw herself on the bed without even taking off her clothes.
