Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 235 Final Exam (two updates in one)

Winning the Quidditch trophy plunged the entire Gryffindor House into a state of continuous fanaticism and excitement. Harry seemed to have become the hero of the entire Gryffindor, with people cheering for him wherever he went -

—

This made Harry somewhat uncomfortable while enjoying this kind of fame.

Fortunately, this phenomenon did not last long, because when the time advanced to mid-May, all students had to put down other things in their hands and devote themselves to the exciting final exam review——

Even Fred and George are working hard, they are about to take their exams. Percy is preparing to pass, the highest academic qualification Hogwarts has to offer.

Percy hopes to work in the Ministry of Magic, so he must have the highest academic qualifications.

He became increasingly irritable and irritable, and he would severely punish anyone who disturbed the tranquility of the common room at night——

But in fact, the only person more anxious than Percy was Hermione.

As the final exam approached, Hermione seemed to have turned back into the irritable Hermione again, and began to speak in a nasty voice.

And as the final exam approaches, Tiera finally gets the good news he has been waiting for——

"This...this is from Hagrid." Harry said. Taking advantage of a dinner break, Harry handed the note in his hand to Tiera, Hermione and Ron, "Buckbeak

The appeal is scheduled for the 6th.”

"That's the day our exams end," Hermione said, looking around for her Arithmancy book.

"They're here to hear an appeal," said Harry. "Someone from the Ministry of Magic... and an executioner!"

Hermione raised her head, severe panic appearing directly on her face:

"They brought the executioner to hear the appeal and it sounded like they had already made up their mind!"

"Yes, that's true." Harry said sadly.

"They can't do this!" Ron roared, "I spent so much time reading materials for him, they can't just ignore it!"

Obviously, the fact that the Ministry of Magic brought executioners to hear the appeals was a huge blow to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Of course, this also had a great impact on Tiera——

Hagrid's text message allowed Tiera to finally confirm the start time of her plan.

So Tiera also started to get busy, which made him feel as if he was back to the postgraduate entrance examination time where day and night were reversed——

Tiera reviews for exams during the day, and whenever night falls, Tiera switches to the trumpet, boards the "Parasite", carries a suitcase, and passes through a door of light to Azkaban——

Now that the cell in Azkaban that was originally used to hold Sirius was vacated, Tiera easily took care of several prisoners living nearby. Tiera opened up several empty cells to form a huge room.

In the center of the room, he began to arrange a complex ritual altar with a hexagram as the main body.

At the same time, Tiera still needs to use Merlin's ring from time to time to reach the uninhabited planet tens of thousands of light years away——

Tiera kept Salazar Slytherin there for nearly a year.

Although this year is not enough for Salazar Slytherin to visit the entire planet, it is still enough for Salazar to visit the surrounding areas centered on the library——

In fact, even so, Salazar Slytherin's harvest was extremely rich——

Not only did he discover fifty-four kinds of magical plants that can be used as raw materials for potions, thirty-seven kinds of magical animals, and seventeen kinds of trees that can be used as materials for wands in the surrounding area -

After the Azkaban ceremony was almost complete, Tiera, Salazar, and Dobby worked together to transplant ten of the seventeen wand trees to a barren desert west of the library.

Arranged in a three-four-three manner, twenty-two line segments connect ten types of giant trees to each other. Each giant tree is engraved with the name of a great devil. The ten giant trees and ten great devils together form Qliphoth.

——

Array of Blasphemy.

While Tier was setting up the ceremony in full swing, the review time left for the young wizards at Hogwarts quickly passed. It was the exam week, and there was an unusual silence in the entire Hogwarts Castle.

The third-grade students came out of the Transfiguration class during lunch on Monday. They all looked shabby and lacked energy when walking. They compared their scores and lamented that the tasks given to them were too difficult, including turning a teapot into a turtle.

Hermione fussed that the turtle she conjured looked like a turtle, but others were content with that, so her complaint was irritating—

But what makes people even more jealous is Tiera. Tiera got the highest score in the class. He turned a teapot into a perfect tortoise. Every detail is the same as a real turtle, and it can even eat vegetables.

, swimming and climbing on the windowsill to bask in the sun.

This gave Tiera an almost perfect score in the Transfiguration class——

In fact, Hermione felt that if Tiera hadn't missed too many classes and homework last semester and dropped a catnip-scented bomb into Professor McGonagall's office, his Transfiguration class would have received perfect marks.

Despite this, Tiera seems to have been in a rather nervous mood since entering the exam week——

Harry noticed that Tiera kept biting her lip, and whenever Tiera was free, he would keep pinching his knuckles.

After lunch, the students went back upstairs to take the exam in the Charms class. The exam was about the Happy Curse, and they worked in pairs to release each other——

Harry and Tiera were in a group. Tiera's happy spell was so successful that Harry felt that all the burdens in his heart suddenly relaxed, as if they had disappeared in an instant. Even the possibility of Buckbeak being executed was temporarily eliminated.

Forgetting, Harry even smiled at Tiera——

But when it was Harry's turn to use the Happy Charm on Tiera, he encountered difficulties——

Tiera also smiled, looking very happy——

But Harry could still tell through the small movements in Tiera's hands——

Tiera was still very nervous.

The next morning, Hagrid presided over the Care of Magical Creatures exam, but he looked very preoccupied, as if his mind was not on the exam at all. He brought a large bucket of fresh Flobber caterpillars to the class and told everyone that if they want to

To pass the test, their Flobber caterpillar must still be alive after one hour.

Flobber caterpillars reproduce extremely quickly if left unchecked, so this was the easiest exam they had ever experienced, and it also provided many opportunities for Tiera, Harry, Ron and Hermione to

Talk to Hagrid.

"Buckbeak is a little depressed," Hagrid told them, bending very low while pretending to check if Harry's caterpillar was still alive. "He's been locked up for too long. But we'll find out the day after tomorrow.

Still defeated."

That afternoon they were testing potions, and Snape was too busy dancing around Harry's fault. When it was Snape's turn to check Tiera's potion, he simply glanced at her and gave Tiera a high

point.

During the midnight astronomy test, everyone went to the highest floor and lined up to point out the constellations they had observed to Professor Sinistra one by one.

The test on Wednesday morning was the History of Magic, and the test question asked you to write about all the circumstances surrounding the hunt for witches in the Middle Ages——

This is also the only written test subject besides arithmetic and divination that afternoon.

There was the Herbology test on Thursday morning, which meant staying in the conservatory in the scorching sun, and by the time we got back to the common room, everyone had sunburn on the backs of their necks.

They will take the Defense Against the Dark Arts test on Thursday afternoon, which is their penultimate test. They only need to take the Divination class tomorrow morning, and they will be completely liberated.

The test that Professor Lupine proposed was one that none of them had ever taken, and it was also the most unusual: it was an obstacle course-like test outdoors, in the sun, where the students had to wade across an area where Grindi

Lo's Pond, through a series of potholes filled with red caps, squeaking across a swamp, ignoring the erroneous instructions of a hinkpunk, and then climbing into an old box with a new bog

Gert fights.

This was not so much an exam as a scary adventure game, and everyone had a great time taking the exam.

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, Tiera separated from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. After hesitating for a while at the door of the gargoyle statue on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, she stepped in resolutely.

Dumbledore's office -

This is the first time Tiera has stepped into the principal's office since she entered school.

It's just that he came at an unlucky time. When Tiera walked up the spiral staircase and arrived at the door of Principal Dumbledore's office, his extraordinary hearing could detect the sound of conversation coming from the principal's office.

come out.

So Tiera had to stand outside the door and wait quietly.

About ten minutes later——

The oak door of the principal's office opened from the inside, and out walked Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic wearing a pinstriped cloak. Behind him were two wizards, one of whom was already very old, as if he was standing right in front of them.

Withered little by little, the other one was tall and well-proportioned, with a sparse lip moustache.

"Oh, my God, you are... you are Tiera Lockhart, right?" Cornelius Fudge didn't seem to have a very pleasant conversation with Dumbledore just now. He seemed to be in a bad mood when he came out of the principal's office.

He even wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, but when he saw Tiera, he immediately put on another face——

"Hello, little Mr. Lockhart." Cornelius Fudge smiled and bent down, reaching out to shake Tiera's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Minister." Tiera replied politely.

"By the way, little Mr. Lockhart." Cornelius Fudge said with a smile, "I heard that your father is traveling again? I don't know when he will come back. To be honest, I have some things I want to talk to him about.

discuss."

"My father...oh, yes, my father...if you...if you are not in a hurry...tomorrow? What do you think about tomorrow night?" Tiera thought for a while and then said, "Tomorrow around midnight, I will

In the most recent communication with him, he promised me that he would take me home after I finish the exam. He said that he would come back to Hogwarts to pick me up at midnight tomorrow. If it is convenient for you, can you stay at Hogwarts until midnight tomorrow?

?”

"At midnight tomorrow night..." Cornelius Fudge scratched his head and thought for a moment——

"Okay, no problem." Cornelius Fudge agreed, "Then let's do it at midnight."

After that, Cornelius Fudge politely said goodbye to Tiera, and led the two wizards behind him down the spiral staircase——

Tiera looked at Cornelius Fudge's back thoughtfully.

Although Cornelius Fudge is dim and bastard in the original book and movie, it must be said that he is indeed a good politician——

He was so polite to a Muggle-born wizard.

After Cornelius Fudge and his party disappeared from her sight, Tiera turned around and knocked on the door of Dumbledore's office.

"Who?" Dumbledore asked.

"It's me, Mr. Principal." Tiera's voice seemed a little distorted due to nervousness, "It's Tiera."

"Tiera!" Dumbledore said in surprise, and then the sound of dragging the floor as the chair moved was heard in the room.

A few seconds later, the oak door in front of Tiera opened from the inside, and Dumbledore appeared at the door.

"Tiera, did you encounter any trouble in the final exam?" Dumbledore turned sideways and let Tiera in.

"But I heard Minerva said that you did perfectly in the final exam." Dumbledore said after Tiera sat down, and at the same time waved his hand, and a cup of hot tea appeared in front of Tiera, "I want some sugar.

Or milk?”

"Oh... no, no need, Mr. Principal." Tiera said nervously, "I will leave soon, I... I have thought about it... I decided to do as you said... embrace my talent.

.”

"You mean...are you ready to embrace your talents?" Dumbledore was shocked.

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore." Tiera said nervously, "I have carefully thought about what you said, and I think you are right. I can no longer escape my fate. This is a cowardly act, and I am a coward."

Just a Gryffindor lion, I should face my fate bravely!"

"Well said!" Dumbledore said, looking at Tiera with a pleased expression, as if to say that she is indeed the person I like.

"Then shall we start the summer vacation?" Dumbledore said impatiently but calmly, "Or should we start again in fourth grade?"

"You can start the summer vacation, but... Principal Dumbledore..." Tiera changed the subject and said, "Before I learn how to master my talent, I want to give it one last try."

"Final...effort?" The happy smile on Dumbledore's face solidified instantly. With more than a hundred years of life experience, Dumbledore suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes, I just saw a prophecy a few days ago..." Tiera said.

"What prophecy?" Dumbledore asked happily.

"I can't say...I don't want to say...but..." Tiera said sadly.

"But I want to defeat it, I want to defeat that damn fate." Then the expression on Tiera's face suddenly became resolute and courageous, her eyebrows stretched, and her eyes were firm——

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment. For a moment, Dumbledore saw the shadow of Gellert Grindelwald on Tiera's immature face——

"I want to defeat death! I also want to defeat that damn fate!"

In the barn that midsummer, when faced with the prophecy of almost certain death, he had the same expression and said the same words.

"How are you going to defeat it?" Dumbledore asked absently.

"I need your help, Principal Dumbledore." Tiera said——

"I need your help, Albus." The boy in the barn said the same.

"What... what help?" Dumbledore asked unconsciously.

"I would like to borrow your blood and the sword of Gryffindor." Tiera said——

"Let's sign a blood pact. Come on, Albus, let's go find the Deathly Hallows together!" The young man's invitation seemed to be vivid in his mind.

Today the two chapters are combined into one, totaling 4,000 words, and will be updated together~
