In the past, the so-called "Defense Against the Dark Arts" could almost be directly linked to Dumbledore, because it was he who single-handedly thwarted the tyrannical ambitions of the Dark Lord Grindelwald at the last moment.

But now, when people mention dark magic, they will immediately think of Maka. Two generations of Dark Lords fell in the front yard of Hogwarts Castle almost at the same time. This was an event that shocked the whole world.

Surprising fact.

It has to be said that letting Maka temporarily take charge of the additional questions examiner for the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical exam is justified even if it is spread outside of Hogwarts.

Of course, no matter what kind of discussion this matter will cause in the future, for now everyone is still focusing on the tense exam.

During this entire afternoon, Maka not only served as a temporary examiner for more than a dozen times in the O.W.Ls exams, but he also had the opportunity to appear several times in the subsequent N.E.W.Ts exams.

But to be honest, the additional questions asked by Maka were indeed very difficult, and he did not give in because he was familiar with the students. Until all the candidates had completed the exam, only a total of only a few students had received additional points from him.

Five students, among whom there is only one seventh grader, Cedric, the handsome boy from Hufflepuff House.

In Maka's own words - "It's already illegal for me to serve as a temporary examiner and set the questions. If the difficulty is not increased, won't the International Federation of Wizards directly remove my professorship?"

However, the additional question challenge of two graduates is worth mentioning at the end. Not only did they unexpectedly take the initiative to propose a combination challenge that was twice as difficult, but they almost passed it both times.

.

Yes, they are the famous pair of troublemakers at Hogwarts, the twin brothers Fred Weasley and George Weasley.

What they used in the exam was the synchronized spell casting technique that Maka taught the members during R.A. training.

Although they finally missed the opportunity to score because they were too complacent, even Maka secretly nodded for them afterwards - using the twins' tacit understanding to cast spells simultaneously, the effect was really amazing, because they didn't even have one chance.

Made mistakes.

It's a pity that if you don't pass, you don't pass. Even if it's just a little bit short, it can't change the fact.

From that day on, without the accident of Maka becoming the examiner, the exam went on step by step again. On Friday, Luna and Hermione, who had taken the ancient magic text course, took the exam together, while Harry and Ron waited

Those who did not choose this course got a valuable rest day.

Since there was still a whole weekend left for review, most of the fifth-grade students who did not refer to it put down their textbooks and materials and spent the whole day lazily.

There is naturally no possibility for graduates to relax. Even if someone tells them that they should put down their pens and enjoy the warm breeze and sunshine. Combining work and rest may be more conducive to the subsequent exams, they are definitely not in that mood.

In the afternoon, when Harry and Ron were leaning against the window looking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, guessing word by word what kind of animal Hagrid, who was teaching the lower class, had brought, Hermione walked in through the portrait hole.

As soon as they both turned around, they discovered that Hermione was in an amazingly good mood at this time!

"Another 'O'?" Ron asked, stretching hard.

"I think it's no problem!" Hermione said with a beaming expression, "Same as the written test in the morning, the questions are incredibly simple. I'm thinking... all students who listen carefully to the class will definitely get high scores!"

"Oh, that sounds really good..." Harry sighed, "If I had known earlier, I should have taken the Runes class instead of some damn Divination class! No matter how much I review it, it doesn't work.

Failure can only depend on luck!"

As Harry said, he and Ron spent the entire weekend reviewing Potions and History of Magic, and had not touched upon Divination at all.

In fact, this is not because they don't want to do well in Divination, but because even Hermione doesn't understand. Just looking at the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup and the mist in the crystal ball is considered to be the Divination course content. What method should be used?

Just go and review.

In short, among the not-so-pleasant pile of textbooks, this weekend passed almost in the blink of an eye.

On Monday of the second week, the test was Potions.

Although this course has changed professors, the two teachers are both at the level of potion masters. Even though their teaching styles are completely different, their teaching quality can be said to be top-notch.

Snape is good at advanced teaching. Although he is always a bit inattentive in class, both the theory of potion preparation and the mixing steps are clear and clear; Slughorn is good at guiding teaching, with a good classroom atmosphere and meticulous teaching methods.

Preparing demonstrations can keep students focused at all times.

Therefore, when faced with an exam of moderate difficulty, everyone performed pretty well.

As for the Care of Magical Creatures class taught by Hagrid, the teaching plan that Maka helped him develop played a very big role. Especially in the afternoon practical exam, most of the magical creatures that appeared in it were popular magical creatures, and many of them were from everyone.

Content that was actually practiced in class.

In addition, Hagrid also has a lot of experience in caring for animals, and the knowledge he imparted to the students was correct, so most of the candidates passed the day smoothly.

The biggest headache for students must be the History of Magic exam that is scheduled for the last day.

With the already boring classroom environment and the even more boring textbook knowledge, most students would fall asleep in class unknowingly - but Professor Binns never thought of waking everyone up.

As a result, the students who had to face the exam suffered a lot in the dark review. As for the final exam...hey, I don't want to mention it.

On Thursday evening, when the moment of nearly two weeks of exams finally came to an end, the little wizards finally gathered on the grass outside the auditorium door and cheered.

Yes, it is very likely that some of them will cry when they say goodbye to each other after celebrating happily. But at least, this exam that was so nervous that it was almost breathless has finally come to an end.

.

When a burst of howling ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded from the vestibule, Maka, who was teaching students of other grades upstairs, couldn't help but stop her explanation and walked to the window to take a look down.

Obviously, even Professor McGonagall, who is usually strict, gave these graduates a rare indulgence today and did not send them back to the common room immediately.

Maka leaned against the window and watched quietly for a while, then turned back and waved gently.

"Sit down, everyone, we are still in class!" After calling all the students who were also leaning towards the window to look down, he called them back to their seats, then smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry! Today I will

Finish class early so that you can have more time to make trouble with the seniors..."

Before he finished speaking, the classroom suddenly burst into laughter, and words of praise were heard endlessly. But almost at the same time, the cheers below stopped abruptly, and faintly changed to Professor McGonagall's stern scolding.

"Everyone, stop it!" Maka waved her hands and said, "If Professor McGonagall hears it, prepare to scrub the bathroom wall tiles together!"

…

For graduates, the end of exams means that their school days are coming to an end; but for fifth graders such as Harry, this is just the beginning of another more difficult study life.

Oh, well! At least they still have a relaxing and pleasant vacation to adjust themselves, and they can relax before the N.E.W.Ts course starts.

A few days later, on the Thestral carriage heading to Hogsmeade Station.

"...I will come and play with you. If you have anything to do, you can always write to me," Maka was talking to Harry and the others. "Of course, you are welcome to send me a letter even if you have nothing to do!"

"Are you going to be in school all the time? Don't you have any plans to go somewhere to relax or something?" Ron asked curiously, "If I were as rich as you, I would definitely take a luxurious trip around the world!"

"Oh, then you have to work hard to make money after graduation," Maka said with a smile, "Besides... yes, at least for the time being, you will stay in school for a while."

That's right, he won't leave Hogwarts for the time being. Because he still needs to assist Professor McGonagall with some interesting little tasks during the early part of this year's summer vacation!

When the carriage squeaked to the intersection in front of the station, Maka and Hagrid put everyone on the train together, waving with smiles and watching the train gradually go away with thick smoke, and both of them felt sad in their hearts.

I felt a little different.

So many things happened in this school year, some good and some bad, but no matter what, it finally left with the Hogwarts Express.

After this, will there be only a bright and smooth road? Although there are still various uncertain factors around, Maka naturally hopes so.

"Hagrid, we should go back!"

Maka raised her hand and patted his arm. Suddenly, she realized that she, who could only pat Hagrid's butt back then, had grown so tall!

"Oh, yes -" Hagrid stuffed the wet handkerchief back into the pocket of his coat, nodded and said, "Well, I should go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink later... Maka, we want to come together.

?"

"Although I also want to go, it's a pity," Maka said, "Professor McGonagall asked me to go there immediately after sending the students off. I think you should understand... There are some very meaningful things.

Little job!”

"Aha!" Hagrid suddenly said happily, "So, is it you who will go this year?"
