Whether it is the O.W.Ls exam for fifth graders or the N.E.W.Ts exam for seventh graders, the written exam tests the theoretical level of the little wizards. In the practical part, you will focus more on the application.

Just like the first test question that Harry encountered, most students could do it, such as flipping the wine glass. But if you want to win the admiration of the examiner, you need to show something unique.

Because of this, Harry's questions may seem simple, but in fact they may not be easier to get a good score than the questions Ron got.

At the very least, if Ron can fill all five glasses, then his grades will definitely be good. He will not be like "making the wine glasses somersault" and obliterate everyone if he is not careful.

Here, after Ron thought hard for a while, he suddenly thought of Maka's strange and amazingly powerful freezing magic. Naturally, he was beyond the reach of such unheard of magic, but freezing a glass of water was not a problem for him.

"Cold as ice."

When he waved his wand and tapped lightly on the cup filled with water, and after reciting a spell in a regular manner, the water in the cup suddenly began to "clack" from the rim of the cup he tapped.

There was ice.

"Floating into the sky."

After the initial freezing spell was completed, the second spell came out of his mouth with great caution. As the spell successfully took effect, the frozen hard ice cube jumped up from the cup and steadily

fell on the table.

To be honest, Ron actually wanted to get started directly at the moment. But what was being conducted was the practical examination of Charms. What if he touched it with his hands and the examiner deducted points without saying a word?

"Get bigger quickly!"

The third spell is the expansion spell. This spell is most effective when applied to solid objects. If the water is not frozen in advance, even if he uses all his strength to suck milk, it is amazing that a glass of water can become

Just make about two cups.

"Then... uh, it fell apart! Oh..."

At this point, Ron was a little confused. Although this spell can be found in the first-grade "Standard Spells: Elementary", it is a relatively easy spell to use. But just look at it in the following semesters.

As you will know from being repeatedly explained and practiced, this is a magic spell that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

To put it simply, it is not easy to control the force when cutting hard objects. If you are not careful, the things under the target will "click" together.

This time, Ron's cutting spell was obviously a little flawed. Although the table was fine, the enlarged lump of ice suddenly exploded, and two of the five pieces fell on the old table opposite.

The witch examiner passed over the brim of his hat and went straight to the other examinee diagonally across from him.

"Little, be careful-" "Bang!"

That was Dean Thomas, who lived in the same dormitory as Ron and Harry. He was a boy with black hair and dark skin. When the ice cubes flew towards the back of his head, he was trying to use magic to make the flower seedlings in the flower pot grow.

It’s blooming!

However, with a scream, Thomas's wand pierced straight into the soil of the flowerpot. Immediately afterwards, there was a loud explosion and a large amount of fresh soil flew away, splashing several people nearby.

Covered all over.

"Bah, bah..." Ron spat out the Saturnine in his mouth, and then said with an annoyed look on his face, "Sorry Dean, uh... sorry, dear lady."

There was such a big commotion in the examination room, and Ron thought that it was definitely over again. The Charms Theory test paper was not completed in the morning, and something like this happened again in the afternoon. The Charms course was completely hopeless.

.

Who knows, the cold-faced old witch opposite just took off her hat and gently shook off the dirt on it, then waved her hand expressionlessly.

"Mr. Ron Weasley, are you planning to give up?"

"Oh, I...can I continue?" Ron immediately said in surprise, "Uh...wait, I will continue to do it! That...floating into the air!"

Seeing that he could still continue to complete the test questions, Ron was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly used a floating spell to recall the flying ice cubes, and then put the five cut ice cubes into the cup one by one, and used

The Fire Charm carefully began to melt the ice.

In this exam question, he has never used any very difficult spells from beginning to end. If there is one of the most difficult spells here, it is probably the extremely basic "Fire Blazing".

Use the fire-making spell to warm the contents of the cup. Maka had used it in the Pig's Head Bar, and it was very effective in heating butter beer. So among the spell materials, he conveniently included this inconspicuous little

Tips have also been added.

Since those magic spells with high learning threshold are difficult for Ron to use, he spent a lot of effort on such easy-to-use magic spells. It can be seen that the effect is still the same when he shows it in the exam.

Not bad.

At least, the cold-faced old witch opposite could not help but light up slightly when she saw this little trick of his.

After freezing a glass of water, it expands and expands, and finally cuts and melts it, barely filling five empty glasses with more than half of the glass. Although the expansion spell is time-sensitive, the application of this series of spells,

But it was enough for the examiner to give a good score.

After the old witch glanced at the cup, she picked up the noteboard with Ron's file and wrote a few words:

"The level of spell casting is above average, with the flexibility to apply multiple spells together. Specific spells (such as the fire-making spell) have clever application ideas and finer control capabilities."

After thinking about it for a moment, she added a little to the side: "I have an average mind and am not confident enough."

In fact, there are many ways to answer this question. If you are smart enough, you can actually fill five cups with one cup of water by casting a shrinking spell on the cup. Of course, every student

People have different abilities, so the importance of intelligence, agility and hard work is naturally equal.

After that, Ron's practical exam continued without any surprises. When the old witch examiner finished marking and signing the files, Ron finally walked out of the auditorium door with a lot of anxiety.

"Ron, how are you?" Harry and Hermione who were waiting at the door saw him coming out and immediately approached him, "I heard Dean complaining just now, saying that your ice cube hit the back of his head and hurt him.

Covered the examiner's face with mud..."

"Oh..." Ron said with a grimace when he heard this, "I think I have to go to Dean to apologize or something! I hope I didn't let him fail the exam..."

…

Not to mention that Ron was still frowning because of the whole day's "bad luck", but the exams in the auditorium were still going on! When the O.W.Ls' Charms practical exam was over, graduation was soon to follow.

The nightmare of life - the practical content of N.E.W.Ts.

As far as the theory test in the morning is concerned, everyone passed it with one test paper and one pen, and there was no difference. But in the afternoon practical test, the gap between the two

It manifested itself all of a sudden.

There was no need to go in and take a look. From then on until dusk, there were chaotic sounds coming from the closed auditorium all the time. Explosions, collisions, the flow of liquid... and even occasionally...

Seeing the flickering firelight in the window, it was really lively.

Every once in a while, one or two seventh-grade students with either happy or worried expressions would come out of the door, and then the door would be closed tightly again.

Fortunately, there are not many students who can take the N.E.W.Ts course. Although everyone's exam time is obviously not short, when the sunset shines on the entire castle and casts a dazzling golden light, the whole day

The noise has finally come to an end.

After seeing off the last student, the examiners in the auditorium packed up their things one after another, and Maka, who was responsible for entertaining these old professors, also went inside with Professor Flitwick.

"I can't believe it. I thought those troublemakers would definitely cheat in the exam! But they actually completed the exam honestly..."

As they walked, the little Flitwick whispered to Maka, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Hey," Maka said with a smile, "I have warned them both a long time ago that if they cheat, I will be the first to report it! These twins are very capable. If they take the exam carefully, their grades will not be good.

Difference."

"Yes!" Professor Flitwick shook his head and said, "Those two children are just too noisy..."

"It was a little noisy..." Maka shrugged, "But now that they have graduated, Hogwarts will probably be much quieter... Believe me, Professor Flitwick, we will miss them sooner or later.

From those days when I was still alive!”

After that, he raised his head and nodded to the old wizards, and said with some respect: "Professor Marchban, Professor Tofty... You have worked hard today, please go to the side hall to have a rest! It will be another hour."

Soon, you can enjoy a sumptuous dinner at Hogwarts!"

"Thank you, we are looking forward to it."

Ms. Marchban, the leader this time, was wearing an old-fashioned wizard robe, with plain tones and no decorations. She looked like a stingy old lady. She had neatly combed silver hair, and her face was

There was a slight smile, but those deep eyes were more calm.

But to be honest, this is actually an old lady who is easy to talk to, at least that's what Maka thinks - although she sometimes makes people feel too serious.

"Mr. McLean, if necessary, we can also help you restore the auditorium to its original state." She looked at the auditorium and said, "I also studied here many years ago... To be honest, every year

Just coming here and looking at this place makes me feel several years younger!"
