Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The time soon came to the beginning of June, and with the approach of exam week, Hogwarts was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Monday morning is the Transfiguration exam, which starts with theory and then practice. Theoretical knowledge is not bad, as long as you memorize it carefully, it is easy to get a high score.

But in practice, it's different.

Turning one kind of object into another kind of object is a first-grade knowledge; turning a small creature into a dead thing is a test point for the second grade. This year, the difficulty has been upgraded, turning a dead thing into a moving thing.

.

This can be considered as a real step into the door of transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall asked everyone to turn a teapot into a turtle, but very few people completed it. Most of the turtles that turned out had obvious traces of the teapot. Either the shell was a lid, or the tail still looked like a handle.

After the exam, Stuart and Anthony collapsed. After being trained by Roger for a whole year, they had less time to study.

Anthony's turtle turned into a turtle with a handle on its shell and the pattern of a teapot on his body. Stewart was even worse, but he only had the appearance of a turtle.

"It's over, I'm afraid I'm not going to get a T this time!" Stewart said angrily.

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall will never give t to students." Terry comforted, "It's just t, it's nothing."

In the afternoon was the spell exam. Everyone performed pretty well this time, and Stuart had a smile on his face again. The Happy Charm was not a difficult spell, and he even thought he would get an e.

On the morning of the next day, Ike had to take three subjects at the same time: Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy and Muggle Studies. None of them were very difficult, and Hagrid even asked a question that would make almost everyone get an O: Taking care of Flo

caterpillars and leave them alive after an hour.

Don't worry about these disgusting bugs at all. Flobber caterpillars live best in a state of laissez-faire. Arithmetic divination on the other side is a little more troublesome. Ike got a piece of paper full of words. He needed

Use arithmetic to write out the omens given in this article.

This required a lot of calculations, and several people broke down.

Muggle Studies is about the same level of difficulty as Care of Magical Creatures, and I can finish the paper easily without any difficulty at all.

In the afternoon, there was Defense Against the Dark Arts. There was no written test. Lupine set up a field and the students needed to solve Grindylow, Red Hat, Hinkpunk and Boggart in sequence. These are all things he has taught in class this year.

The vast majority of people pass successfully, the only difference is the length of time.

Wednesday morning was Snape's potions exam. After writing a long test paper, he still needed to successfully brew a confusion potion. This was not difficult at all for Ike, who had almost a year of potions experience.

, Snape kicked Ike out without even looking at him.

The same goes for the ancient magic text in the afternoon. Professor Bathsheda gave Ike an o without even looking at his test paper. Herbalism at the same time was not difficult either. It was a simple task of changing pots and wearing dragon leather gloves.

Completed very easily.

However, astronomy at night was a bit troublesome. The sky was a little overcast, blocking a large area of ​​the starry sky. Ike had to cast an eagle eye spell on himself to let his sight pass through the clouds.

History of Magic has always been the easiest exam at Hogwarts. Professor Binns almost only tests major events in history. In the afternoon, Ike finally ushered in his last subject: Divination.

Everyone stood outside Trelawny's wooden door, and one by one went in to take the exam. Ike didn't go in until the last.

"Look at this crystal ball and tell me what you see?" Xu said it too many times, and Professor Trelawney looked very tired.

Ike nodded, sat opposite Trelawney, placed his hands gently on the crystal ball, and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a blurry picture appeared inside.

"Dark shadows, ever-changing black shadows..."

"So, what does it look like to you and what does it want to tell you?"

"People, many people, different people..." Ike suddenly had a glimmer of understanding and said something uncontrollably:

“Curse brings hope;

Misunderstandings still persist;

Hope shines white;

Dispel the darkness that blocks the sun;

Notice!

Lingering in the swamp!

On a starless night;

Evil will return!"

Professor Trelawney's eyes were intense, she looked at the crystal ball emitting a faint blue light, and couldn't help but clapped her hands.

"Mr. Strider, congratulations on making a real prediction. Congratulations on getting an o!"

Ike came back to his senses, still clearly remembering everything he just said in his mind, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

"Thank you, professor..."

Suddenly, Ike took out his magic wand, and the tip of the wand glowed brightly.

"Everything is forgotten!"

Seeing Professor Trelawney's confused expression, Ike silently put away the crystal ball that glowed with blue light, turned it into the size of a marble, and replaced it with a new one.

"Professor, professor!"

Following Ike's call, Professor Trelawney came back to her senses. She glanced blankly at Ike and the transparent crystal ball in front of her, and then her attention fell on the grade book in her hand.

"Can I leave?"

"Ah...oh! Okay, Mr. Strider." After Ike left, Professor Trelawney sat quietly on the chair for a long time.

He scratched his hair and murmured: "Did you drink too much sherry..."

When Ike walked out of the divination class, he quietly crushed the marbles in his pocket.

As Trelawney said, this is a true prophecy, and Ike, who already understands what it says, cannot let others know. This is why he destroyed the crystal ball, and also for this reason when he cast the Forgetting Curse on Trelawney.

.

This time Ike is very confident that the lv6 forgetting spell is enough to make Trelawney forget what just happened.

Back in the common room, everyone looked relieved and discussed the content of these days' exams in twos and threes. Stewart seemed a little broken. According to his evaluation, almost no subject could get an O, which was worse than last year.

a lot of.

In fact, because of Quidditch training, the performance of all players has declined. Even if the results have not come out, they are well aware of it. But the Ravenclaws never worry about their own performance. In this regard, they never worry about it.

Not afraid.

This kind of thing that can be obtained by just working hard is worthless compared to the Quidditch championship!

Ike smiled and leaned over, stretched out his hand to fetch a paper bag, took out one and threw it into his mouth. He enjoyed the plainness and purity now. Everyone put their troubles and joys on the bright side, and

Before being overwhelmed by the pain of growing up, everyone was as simple as a blank slate.

The dinner on the day after the exam was over was a little more sumptuous than usual. Everyone was celebrating, especially the fifth and seventh grade students, and some even cried.

People who have not experienced the OLS and NEWTS exams cannot understand this feeling of being in a disaster, but Ike can understand it a little better.

Just like students who always have a night of fun after the college entrance examination, this is a crazy moment where long-term pressure is suddenly released.

In the midst of laughter, Ike looked at the empty seat on the professor's chair and quietly left.

Put on the Illusion Body Charm and walk out of the castle like a ghost. The sky is covered with clouds, and the Whomping Willow is looming in the east.
