The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Hermione was annoyed.

There were so many people coming to her for answers that Hermione couldn't stand the pressure. If one or two people want answers, Hermione can tell them they are cheating, but what if there are ten or twenty people who want to know the content of the exam? What if many seniors want answers?

What's even worse is that she hasn't seen Tom yet.

At this time, she felt an itch in the palm of her hand, and a small beetle crawled into her palm and returned to the shape of a note. Hermione glanced at the note secretly and found that it was from Professor Lockhart.

It says: Just tell them the answer without mentioning the question.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief: since Professor Lockhart sent this note, it meant that he already had a countermeasure - but Professor Lockhart's handwriting was really stiff and looked indescribably awkward.

Hermione began to recall her options and wrote the answers on a piece of parchment. This piece of parchment spread instantly, and a large number of students used their lunch break to memorize the letters on it.

"Hey, Professor Lockhart, are you going to adjust the order of the test questions?" Professor McGonagall immediately saw what Lockhart meant. She laughed and glanced at the edge of the long table, "It looks a little bit... Students are going to be unlucky. I wonder which college will have more unlucky people?"

"I'm afraid the only people who can be tripped up by this kind of trick are hopeless idiots, right, Minerva?" Snape next to him immediately understood what Professor McGonagall was saying.

"That's right, Severus, I wonder which college has more idiots?"

"Of course it's an academy known for its mindless and reckless style."

The smell of gunpowder at the faculty table became stronger and stronger, and finally Professor Sprout came out to smooth things over, "Well, the children in our college are probably the most susceptible to this trick. They are too honest, and the people in our college are also More..."

Professor Flitwick, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke up and asked: "Professor Lockhart, how many classes do you have this afternoon?"

"Two sessions, exactly four colleges have a share."

"Very good." Snape said sadly, "The answer will be revealed soon. Remember to send me a copy of the results."

The other three deans also ordered transcripts from their own colleges. And when Tom was eating, a piece of paper jumped into his pocket, and the side dishes in the dish also transformed themselves into a sentence. When Tom finished eating and left, Snape was also outside. I happened to meet Tom.

The three approaches are only for one thing: when issuing transcripts, it is best to add transcripts from the other three colleges.

Both professors and students had a fulfilling lunch, and the first class in the afternoon came in the blink of an eye.

Tom sent out the test papers and test requirements just like in the morning. After the test papers were handed out, he saw a few little wizards start writing furiously without even writing their names, and they finished the papers in less than a minute. After finishing writing, I still pretended to write and draw, trying hard to hide the fact that I had finished answering the paper.

The students thought they were pretending well, but unfortunately these tricks were used badly by the teacher, and the teacher also had an advantage in vision.

Tom sneered, these people should be taken care of in the future.

He took out the morning's paper from his bag, took out the automatic marking quill and started marking it, while he held a borrowed book and started reading.

Slytherin and Hufflepuff are taught together in this class. At this time Malfoy was staring at his test paper.

1. Among the following statements about Grindylow, the incorrect option is: (__________)

A. Grindylow was a famous dark wizard in the first half of the 20th century, who was eventually defeated by Dumbledore.

B. Grindylow is very aggressive and will attack both wizards and Muggles.

C. Grindylow likes to eat fish and will attack anyone who falls into the water.

D. Grindylow lives in lakes across Britain and Ireland.

2. In July this year, Damocles... The following statement about werewolves is correct: (__________)

A. There is no difference between werewolves and wolves.

B. The Ministry of Magic’s rating for werewolves is five stars.

C. Werewolves cannot choose whether to transform, and they will forget their identity after transforming.

D. The werewolf can recall everything he experienced during the entire transformation process after transforming back into human form.

Malfoy naturally also got a standard answer. The source of the answer was the mudblood nerd Hermione Granger from Ravenclaw. Although Malfoy despised Hermione's blood, he also admitted that Hermione's My grades were really good and I read a lot of books. His father, Lucius Malfoy, had reprimanded him for this before, saying that he could not even pass as a Mudblood - the fact that he took first place in Slytherin House was simply ignored by his father.

He had already filled in the answers he had memorized, but out of caution, he still skimmed through the questions. At first glance, there is no difference from the rumors - the first question uses a homophonic joke, and the second question mentions Wolfsbane Potion but the question has nothing to do with Wolfsbane Potion.

But Malfoy looked at option C of the first question and fell into thinking. This sentence seems to be quite right! It often appeared in the wizard stories I heard when I was a child, where a certain wizard was attacked by Grindylow while swimming and then successfully escaped.

He took a closer look and saw that this question required choosing the wrong option. He fell into deep thought. Could it be that the know-it-all Granger had made a mistake? Then, he continued to look down, and when he saw the werewolf question, he broke into a cold sweat: He remembered clearly that when discussing the question before, someone said that this question got the werewolf's rating from the Ministry of Magic. , but in the morning exam, the rating in the question stem was four stars! But the afternoon is five stars!

This Professor Lockhart has changed some details!

Malfoy immediately started working on the paper seriously - all the previous answers could no longer be used, and he had to do it again by himself.

Tom was very proud on the stage: Change the details? It’s not that simple!

Not only did he play word games in the options, changing "can't" to "yes", and "four stars" to "five stars", he also adjusted the order of the options, and the stems of some questions also changed. What's even more interesting is that he deliberately made only slight adjustments to the previous questions and distinctive questions to create a strong confusing effect.

At the same time, there are many little wizards who have discovered problems. As they progressed through the questions, Hermione's reputation also changed subtly.

When copying her name onto the paper, Hermione was "the incarnation of Ms. Ravenclaw's wisdom in the world". After writing the first question, she became a "smart, knowledgeable and kind little angel". By the third question, Hermione was a "nerd who had read a few books but was careless." After five consecutive questions, Hermione was already an "ignorant and ignorant witch" in their eyes.

Of course, after completing all the test questions, even the dullest little wizard noticed something was wrong: Miss Granger's answer might actually be correct. How could anyone get all twenty-five multiple-choice questions wrong?

They raised their heads and looked at Professor "Lockhart" who was reading a book on the podium. Their eyes showed sadness and anger: "This bastard, you changed the question!" This professor is so cunning! Did such a person really graduate from Ravenclaw? Why does the Behavior Office have a Slytherin feel to it?

When the time came, in the complicated eyes of the little wizards, Tom put the paper away.

"get out of class is over!" Tom assigned his homework and then left. This time he left nearly ten minutes early.

Malfoy immediately stood up and walked to his familiar roommate Theodore Nott. As for Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy was too lazy to communicate with them. In his opinion, these two stupid big guys would definitely win. Professor Lockhart's trap.

"There's a problem with the question!" the two said in unison, then they looked at each other and smiled helplessly. As a professor, Tom is naturally at the top of the food chain.

What can they do? They can only study hard.

The little wizards of Slytherin and Hufflepuff walked out of the classroom and headed to the classroom for the next class. When they walked near the Charms classroom, they heard a noise in the distance. Out of curiosity, they also rushed towards the source of the sound.

The source of the sound is the Astronomical Tower. At this time, the place was already crowded with students, and Malfoy couldn't even see what was going on inside even though he stood on tiptoe.

"What happened?" He asked the senior he met earlier, but before the senior could respond, Filch followed the sound and came. He forcibly separated the crowd, and then he squeezed in.

Malfoy looked in along the passage Filch had left, and he saw a familiar figure: Tom Yoder. At this time, Tom was sitting in front of the brass planetarium in the astronomy classroom, motionless, and his body was as stiff as a board. The huge planetarium was like a mirror, reflecting Tom's face: his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

There is a line of words written on the blackboard in the classroom with an unknown red liquid: Anyone who is an enemy of the heir to the secret room should take this as a warning.

It was obviously full of water outside, but there was still a large space in the classroom, and there were only three people standing there, stunned: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Neville Longbottom.

Seeing Filch coming over, Ron stammered: "We came here, uh, as soon as we entered the door, we saw Tom——"

"Those who are enemies of the heir should take this as a warning - thank you for your bloodline, Weasley!" Malfoy, who was behind, couldn't help but taunted Ron.

The professors also arrived quickly. First there were Professor Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick whose office was on the eighth floor, and then Professor Lockhart who had just finished class. They dispersed the young wizards gathered here, and then a figure suddenly rushed into the classroom. .

"Tom!" The tears in Hermione's eyes rolled down quickly like broken beads. She ran towards Tom who was sitting in front of the astrology. If Dumbledore and Professor Lockhart hadn't stopped her, she would have almost stopped. Going to fall on Tom.

She collapsed on the ground, tears falling silently, but Professor Lockhart half-knelt in front of her, took out a pair of white silk handkerchiefs from his arms, and wiped her tears.
