The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Hermione got up early in the morning and flipped through her notes on the sofa in the common room. She was focused and her lips were moving. She was silently reciting the contents of her notes.

After reviewing the second-year spells notes, she continued to flip through them. Her eyes suddenly stopped and she unconsciously held the pendant on her neck. Her expression became soft.

This is a note about the Patronus Charm.

The feather pen ink turned into a ballpoint pen with a glossy finish. The handwriting was neat and formal. Now it looks a bit immature. I don’t know when she started to get used to writing in cursive. Although the handwriting is still clear and neat, it has changed a lot compared to a few years ago.

There are also a few abstract matchstick figures in the part that records the casting posture.

Recalling that summer, Hermione remembered that when they first started practicing the Patronus Charm, Loren was slacking off next to them. Now thinking back, five years have passed and the Patronus Charm has been mastered.

It’s just that it’s been a long time since I summoned it.

A killer whale and a dolphin, both say that the Patronus Charm is closely related to the soul and emotions. Have their living patronuses been affected by each other?

Who influenced whom?

Hermione thought quietly.

There was a sound of footsteps on the solid wood stairs next to her.

Hermione looked up.

It was still early, and most people in Gryffindor College did not have the habit of getting up early. The common room was quiet and empty at the moment. The stairs were made of solid wood and covered with soft carpets. Special magic was used when they were built, so there would not be too obvious footsteps under normal circumstances. And Loren was deliberately stepping on the steps, making a ding-dong sound. Crookshanks followed his heels, and the fat puddle was lightly pulled by the toes, and immediately lost balance, flowing down like mucus.

"..."

Hermione fell into silence.

Television and newspapers had introduced the habits of many animals, including killer whales.

And her memory has always been good, so she recalled the information about killer whales without much effort.

I heard that killer whales will deliberately jump out of the water when they see a ferry, creating splashes and even lightly hitting the hull to attract the attention of the people around them. They also tease small animals such as turtles and seals at ordinary times. There is no other reason, just for fun.

So the question about the patronus has an answer.

…

After taking Hermione to have breakfast together, they delayed for more than ten minutes before they slowly came to the basement.

The first class this morning was Professor Snape's potion class.

The classroom door was not locked and half-open. Some students had arrived in advance. When I pushed the door in, a strong smell of scabies soup entered my nose. It seems that the last class yesterday was the potion class for the lower grades. There were not many students in the Gryffindor area, only three or four people including two prefects. There were more students in the Slytherin seating area who arrived in the classroom in advance, and most of them sat in silence and reviewed silently.

Draco was in the corner of the front row, his eyes were dazed, his face was dull, and he stared at the letter in his hand in a daze.

He looked silly, and I'm afraid he hasn't come out of the blow of the Quidditch finals.

"..."

Loren shook his head and followed Hermione to sit down on the other side of the front row of the classroom.

Before he put down his schoolbag, he heard Neville's voice in the back row: "Loren, I have a question for you. Do you think I am suitable to be an Auror?"

"Why, your grandmother wants you to be an Auror again?"

"Don't ask these questions first, tell me directly."

"Okay, not suitable." Loren opened his schoolbag without looking back,

"..."

Neville showed an uncomfortable expression and watched him take out the potion textbook: "Why? I can meet all the grades required by the Auror, and even better than the recruitment requirements."

"Really? If you are required to arrest criminals, can you cast unforgivable curses on dark wizards without hesitation?"

"I can control criminals without the unforgivable curse. Professor Flitwick praised me for my excellent performance in duel training."

"Professor Flitwick also praised Hannah for her calmness in casting spells. Do you think she is suitable to be an Auror?" Loren turned around and said with a smile "If you ask me, everyone has a different personality. Some are decisive and tough, while others are gentle and slow to warm up, and have strong affinity. Face the reality, Neville. No matter how good your grades are, your personality is not suitable for being an Auror."

"I can also be decisive and neat."

"At the party on the night of the Quiet Earth final, they made a lot of noise until two in the middle of the night. You reminded them several times in a gentle voice, but it didn't work at all. In the end, it was Parvati who yelled at them to disperse. There have been at least dozens of such incidents in the past few years. If you want to hear it, you can find Parvati. She has a lot of complaints about it."

Neville actually knew the answer in his heart, but it was still a little hard to accept when he heard Loren say that. He sighed depressedly: "I just want to find a cooler job."

"Go to Romania to feed dragons."

"..."

Neville looked a little aggrieved: "It's best to be in Britain."

"Do you want to be closer to home? It's best to work from 9 to 5, have weekends off, and have long enough vacations during summer vacation and Christmas. Given your family situation, the salary can be less generous."

"Is there?"

"Training owls in Diagon Alley."

"That's not cool at all."

"That's strange. My impression of Neville is that he shouldn't be the type to pursue these things. Are you controlled by your grandmother's Imperius Curse?"

"I just...sigh..."

Neville wiped his face: "I originally planned to stay in Hogwarts as an assistant teacher, or help my parents with business matters, but Hannah told me two days ago that she would take over the Leaky Cauldron after graduation and become a bar owner. This is a cool job. I just want to be like her."

"You can go to the Leaky Cauldron to be a waiter."

"It's better to feed owls."

"Come on, it's super cool to be a girlfriend and a subordinate to eat soft rice."

"..."

Neville doubted himself for a while, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Hermione in front of him.

The girl lowered her head and looked at her notes, as if she didn't hear anything, but her ears were a little red.

Neville opened his mouth, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll ask the professor for career counseling when I have time."

Loren sighed at the short-sightedness of the world, turned around and took out the textbooks and notes, and opened the contents of the last class.

They are basically about the skills to solve difficult exam problems, such as if there is no time to complete the specific stirring during the potion brewing, if the invigilator is not around, you can use the freezing spell to stop the potion reaction, and remove the spell after the stirring is completed. The previously criticized use of feces as a universal antidote has also become a last resort way to score at the last minute.

The Quidditch finals ended last weekend, and the final exams entered the countdown stage.

Seventh-year students do not have final exams. They are facing the Ultimate Wizarding Level Test, referred to as N.E.W.T.

This is the highest level exam that students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can take during their school years. They voluntarily sign up at the end of the seventh school year to test the students' learning results in the last two years. Many special professions require high scores in the Ultimate Wizarding Level Test in specific subjects. Not all wizards have to take the N.E.W.T. exam. Some students can get good jobs with just O.W.L.
