Study Days at Hogwarts

Within a few days of corruption, Albert's life became busy again. He had to spend a lot of time every day to complete the heavy Easter holiday homework. Although some holiday homework did not need to be done, he had to take several classes, and the holiday homework was naturally far more than that of the same generation of Hogwarts students.

For this reason, the three good roommates gloated a lot.

Who allows them to take fewer elective courses and have less homework during vacations?

In the past, Albert always gloated and watched them do their holiday homework, but now it was finally their turn to watch Albert do their holiday homework.

After seeing the duel between Albert and Professor Flitwick last time, the three good roommates suddenly wanted to learn some powerful dueling skills from Albert.

I couldn't help it, that duel was so cool, I imagined that one day I could reach that level.

Recently, they all started practicing silent spells while holding their breath. As a result, when Albert returned to school, he mistakenly thought that the three of them were constipated and gave them a small bottle of mysterious candy to treat constipation.

That was a beautiful misunderstanding.

then……

Those three guys still hold grudges!

"The Apparition exam is tomorrow, and I don't know if I can pass it smoothly." Li Jordan rested his chin on his hand, flipping through the information casually, and casually chatting with everyone about the Apparition exam.

"Why do we have to take the Apparition exam at Easter?" Fred complained quietly. "Can't they wait until we're over Easter vacation?"

"Other people don't have Easter vacation." Albert reminded without raising his head. "For them, this is normal commuting time. Moreover, generally sixth grade students start to practice Apparition starting from early February. We have finished the 12th period, so the time is set on the 23rd. We just finished the 12th period today and will go to Hogsmeade for special training tomorrow morning. By the way, we will take the Apparition test together. "

"What about the students who are going home for Easter?" Fred muttered.

"If you don't want to take the exam, of course you don't have to take it. They are all grown up and naturally they need to experience what is going on in the adult world. No one will continue to pamper them." George glanced at the twin brothers and explained in a low voice.

Fred is indeed still a bit naive, and among the Weasley twins, George is obviously more mature than Fred.

Several girls around them frowned. They also understood that George was right. They were all adults and some things could no longer be willful.

Except for a few people whose lives have been taken care of and can continue to be willful until they graduate, get married, have a few children and live out their lives, most people have to find their own way out.

This is also the reason why girls envy Isobel, because someone has already taken care of her life, and she is also a very good guy, a real winner in life.

Just when the girls were envious, a Beauxbatons girl walked into the library, causing a brief commotion among the students who were doing their holiday homework.

"You don't mind me wasting a little of your time!" Yanila walked to Albert and said gently. She wasn't worried about other people around her eavesdropping. Anyway, these guys who pricked up their ears and eavesdropped probably wouldn't be able to hear it. Understand Spanish.

"What's the matter?" Albert put down his quill and looked up at the beautiful girl who had been harassing him for half a semester and still didn't want to give up.

"I have something to do and plan to leave early. It's a pity that I can't see you when you win the championship. Remember to send me a few photos of the championship moment." Yanila is still smiling, but there is a hint of helplessness and loneliness in her tone. .

Albert raised his eyebrows slightly and reminded kindly: "Mrs. Maxim will definitely be unhappy if you say that."

"Sometimes facts are difficult to change, and Madam Maxim has also given up on winning the championship." Yanila shrugged and continued: "Before I leave, I hope to be your friend and pen pal. To be honest, my If you don’t have many friends, there are even fewer with whom you can talk.”

Yanila looked at Albert expectantly, for fear of being rejected by him.

"That's good." Albert didn't refuse. Although he felt that this guy's motives were impure, he actually didn't care. Anyway, it would be difficult to see each other in the future, so it would be good to remain friends.

"I will write to you when I get back, remember to reply to me." The girl seemed to want to give him a hug before leaving, but in the end she changed it to a handshake.

"What does she want from you?"

The girls who listened to Spanish for a while quickly asked after Yanila left.

"Come and say goodbye to me, saying that you have something to do and you have to go back early." Albert explained helplessly as he looked at the girls who were staring at him.

"I now find that learning foreign languages ​​is also beneficial. At least I can chat openly without worrying about being overheard by others." George joked with a smile.

"Do your holiday homework!" Albert continued to work on his holiday homework. He planned to finish it as soon as possible and give himself some time. It would be a waste to spend all the rare Easter holiday on homework.

The next morning, the sixth grade students who were old enough met in the foyer and headed to Hogsmeade to participate in the so-called special training.

How special is it?

Instead of being confined to silly wooden circles, students are finally able to Apparate on the streets of Hogsmeade.

This left the students who had originally thought that special training would be more interesting than apparating into a stupid wooden circle collectively speechless.

Naturally, the deans of Hogwarts also went to Hogsmeade to prevent any students from experiencing the split phenomenon again.

There is no way, many students still fail to master apparation well after twelve classes, and they still often split during training.

As soon as they arrived in Hogsmeade, everyone was gathered by Wicked Teckros who was waiting at the entrance of the village. Then they were all taken together to the outside of Mrs. Puddieffe's teahouse, so that everyone could carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Because Apparition requires wizards to have a good understanding of the destination, they need to clearly imagine it in their minds, and the outside of Mrs. Puddieff's Teahouse is the next target for the students to Apparate, and it is also the content of the exam.

Albert tried twice, and after apparating perfectly, he stopped occupying other students' apparation practice positions. He took the "Common Mistakes in Apparition and How to Avoid It" distributed by Vicky Tycross and talked with Fli. Professor Wei chatted about how to use Apparition in duels and how to counter other wizards' use of Apparition.

"Those wizards who are proficient in Apparition like to do that, but there are very few wizards who can actually use this technique in combat." Professor Flitwick seems to have done relevant research on how to use Apparition in combat.

"Because there's a brief pause after Apparition?"

"Yes, there needs to be a buffer period after Apparition, so most wizards usually use Apparition to dodge attacks instead of launching an attack. Especially if multiple and rapid Apparitions are performed, a splitting phenomenon is likely to occur. Disintegration in battle is undoubtedly a very fatal thing." Professor Flitwick reminded: "So, when you are dueling with others, never take risks, it is just a joke with your own life."

Albert seemed to have tried it, but he did not experience the phenomenon of separation. Of course, this may be related to the fact that he had raised his Apparition to level four.

"Also, most powerful wizards actually know how to counter other people's Apparition." Professor Flitwick reminded: "If you rely too much on Apparition, you will easily suffer big losses. For example, someone Avada Kedavra is used on you, and you try to use Apparition to avoid it, but suddenly find that the spell has been countered, which will be very fatal. Of course, there are not many people who can do this. It's amazing. The wizard can even follow the traces left by the Apparition to find your location."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, who were chatting in low voices, both frowned and looked at the two people who were discussing how to use Apparition in combat.

The four deans were actually very bored, and they came here just in case.

Snape looked at Albert, who was discussing dueling techniques with Professor Flitwick, with an unhappy expression, and turned his attention back to the students who were practicing Apparition.

The training only lasted an hour, and everyone had a drink together at the Three Broomsticks after it was over. Vicki Teclos also distributed to them a Ministry of Magic pamphlet: "Common Mistakes in Apparition and How to Avoid It."

Several outstanding students, headed by Albert, received high praise from Vicki Tycross, which basically meant that they would be able to successfully pass the Apparition exam.

Facts have proved this, Albert easily passed the test first, which involved apparating from the matted position at the entrance of Hogwarts to a specific area outside Mrs. Puddieffe's teahouse.

Of course, the marked area is larger than the wooden circle.

There are employees of the Ministry of Magic watching on both sides. Any separation or failure to arrive at the scheduled location will be regarded as a failure in the exam.

It is all too common for some tiny part of the body to become separated. Of course, the most ridiculous thing is that a certain Hufflepuff girl apparated and ran away to who knows where.

In the end, it was Professor Flitwick who followed the traces of the Apparition and found him.

Said to have run several miles away.

After the entire exam, only about half of the students passed the Apparition. Many students who failed because they lost their hair, nails, and eyelashes were whispering and cursing the Apparition examiner who eliminated them.

The examiners were indifferent to this, and they were obviously scolded often. They just glanced at the students who were cursing in low voices, and announced to everyone that the Apparition Test Center would issue them a Apparition license before the holidays, so that students who passed the Apparition examination could Wait patiently.

"I didn't expect it to be easier than expected." Fred was in a good mood.

"After you get the so-called license, you will be subject to certain surveillance when using Apparition." Albert suddenly said.

"Under surveillance?" Several people around looked at Albert, surprised that there was such a secret.

"Yes, surveillance, but it won't be as strict as the traces on minors. It targets a large group. Once Apparition is used, the Ministry of Magic will know where the famous wizard used Apparition and where he probably went. ? "Albert actually didn't know exactly what was going on, because that's what Bud told him.

Of course, a powerful shielding spell can block this kind of surveillance, and it is not as unsolvable as the traces on minors.

This method is effective because few people know about it.

I mention it here just to remind everyone.

"I didn't expect there to be such a secret." Aaliya asked curiously: "How did you know."

"A friend from the Ministry of Magic mentioned this to me." Albert shrugged and explained.

"The Ministry of Magic always likes to do these little theft tricks. I'm curious as to why they didn't find Sirius Black through this method in the first place."

"Because they can't, they don't know where Sirius is."

"Tell us some secrets about the Ministry of Magic!" Digory interjected. He planned to enter the Ministry of Magic in the future and wanted to know more about the Ministry of Magic.

"Okay, let me tell you some secrets that I know." Albert directly threw a bombshell, "The Minister of Magic is elected through elections, right, but in fact, the magic laws are generally enforced by the Ministry of Magic. When the Director of the Department took over, most of the so-called elections were just boring tricks, giving everyone the illusion that we were all participating in the election of the Minister of Magic.”

Everyone was shocked and speechless. They did not expect that there would be such a shady secret in the election of the Minister of Magic.

"Actually, it's normal. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is the largest department in the British Ministry of Magic, and it is also the most important department. Except for the Department of Mysteries, all other departments basically need to take orders from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Therefore, the Magical Law Enforcement Department The Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement is generally the most competitive candidate for the Minister of Magic, and is basically elected. Barty Crouch Sr. once sat in this position, and he was also the most powerful candidate for the Minister of Magic at the time. After Cornelius Fudge took over, Barty Crouch Sr. was transferred to the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department because he needed to make way for the candidate. As long as no other accidents occurred, Ami Leah Bones will be the next Minister for Magic."

This was actually one of the reasons why Amelia Bones was later killed by Voldemort.

The second is that her brother Edgar Bones was actually a member of the Order of the Phoenix and died in a confrontation with Voldemort. He was born to be on the opposite side of Voldemort, so Voldemort personally killed her to avoid accidents. The tough old Batty was difficult enough back then, but it will be even more troublesome once Amelia Bones takes over.

Hermione later became the Minister of Magic, also taking the route of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

As for Rufus Scrimgeour's appointment, it is actually because the Auror Office is the largest department under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. After Amelia Bones died, the Ministry of Magic had not had time to select a new magician. Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, and Fudge was ousted again. After Dumbledore once again refused to serve as Minister of Magic, the Ministry of Magic urgently needed a tough Minister of Magic to solve the problem in order to ensure the safety of everyone's lives, so as a proud Scrimgeour, the hardline representative and director of Luo's office, took over.

This is actually the reason why Fudge is very afraid of Dumbledore. So when Fudge smeared Dumbledore, a large group of people helped to smear him, and they even wanted to make Dumbledore lose his position as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards. The main reason for its bad reputation.

Dumbledore's reputation was so great that he could ignore the rules and directly ascend to the throne. If he wanted to, Rufus Scrimgeour would have nothing to do with him.
