Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 638: At the end of the school year
In the past, the so-called "Defense to the Dark Arts" could almost be directly linked to Dumbledore, because it was him who defeated the Dark Lord Greenward's ambitions at the last moment with his own power.
Now, when others mention black magic, more people will immediately think of Maca. Two generations of the Dark Lord fell in the vestibule of Hogwarts Castle almost at the same time. This is a fact that surprised the whole world.
It has to be said that making Maca temporarily in charge of the additional question examiner for the Defence Against the Dark Arts practical exam, even if it is spread outside of Hogwarts, is enough to make people feel justified.
Of course, no matter what kind of discussion this matter will arouse in the future, everyone is still focusing their attention on the intense examination.
During this entire afternoon, Maca not only played a dozen occasional examiners in the O.W.Ls exams, but he also had several chances to appear in the subsequent N.E.W.Ts exams.
But to be honest, Maca’s additional questions are indeed very difficult. He did not let him go because he knew each other well with the students. Until all the candidates have completed the exams, there are only five students who get additional points here, and among them, the seventh grader is only the handsome guy Cedric from Hufflepuff College.
In Maca’s own words, it’s—"I’ve been acting as an examiner temporarily to write questions and it’s already illegal. If I don’t increase the difficulty, the International Wizarding Federation would not directly remove my professorship?"
However, there are two additional challenges for graduates, but it 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 both of them.
Yes, they are the famous Hogwarts mischief, the twin brothers Fred Weasley and George Weasley.
And what they used in the exam was the simultaneous spelling skills that Maca taught the members during the R.A. training.
Although they finally missed the opportunity to score because they were too smug, even Maca secretly nodded for them afterwards-using the tacit understanding of the twins to simultaneously cast spells, the effect was surprisingly good, because they even Never made a mistake once.
Unfortunately, failing means failing. Even a slight difference cannot change the facts.
Since that day, without the accident of Maca being the examiner, the examination has been carried out step by step again. On Friday, Luna and Hermione, who had taken the Ancient Magic Course, took the exam together, and those who did not choose this course, such as Harry and Ron, had a precious day off.
Because there is still a whole weekend to review, most of the fifth graders who did not refer to them put down their textbooks and materials and spent the whole day lazily.
Naturally, there is no possibility for graduates to relax. Even if someone tells them that they should put down their pens and enjoy the gentle breeze and sunshine, a combination of work and rest may be more conducive to later exams, they must not be in that mood.
In the afternoon, when Harry and Ron were leaning at the window looking at the edge of the forbidden forest, and you guessed what animal Hagrid who was teaching the lower grades had brought, Hermione walked out of the portrait hole. Come in.
The two of them turned around and realized that Hermione was in a strange mood at this time!
"Is it another'O (Excellent)'?" Ron asked, stretching hard.
"I think it's okay!" Hermione said with joy, "Like the morning written exam, the questions are incredibly simple. I'm thinking...Any student who has listened to the class will definitely get a high score!"
"Oh, this sounds really good..." Harry sighed, "If I knew it, I should have taken the magic text class instead of the **** divination class! It doesn't matter how you review it. Use, pass or fail can only depend on luck!"
As Harry said, he and Ron kept reviewing the contents of potions and the history of magic for the whole weekend, and they had never touched on divination.
Actually, it’s not because they don’t want to take a good exam for divination, but because even Hermione doesn’t understand that just looking at the tea dregs at the bottom of the cup and the mist in the crystal ball is considered as the content of divination. What method should be used to review.
In short, among the unpleasant textbooks, this weekend almost passed in a blink of an eye.
On Monday of the second week, the test is potions.
Although the professors have been changed in this course, the two teachers both have the level of a potion master. Even if the teaching styles are completely different, the teaching quality of the two can be said to be top-notch.
Snape is good at advanced teaching. Although there are always some ignorances in the classroom, both the theory of potion preparation and the preparation steps are clear and clear; Slughorn is good at guiding teaching and has a good classroom atmosphere Both the preparation and the meticulous presentation can allow students to always maintain a high degree of concentration.
So, when faced with moderately difficult exams, everyone did a good job.
As for the protection of magical creatures taught by Hagrid, the teaching plan that Maca helped him develop played a very important role. Especially in the practical exams in the afternoon, most of the magical creatures that appeared in it were popular nowadays, and many of them were actually practiced in class.
In addition, the experience of caring for animals in Shanghai Ge is also very rich. The knowledge imparted to the students by him is not fallible, so that most of the candidates passed the day smoothly.
And the biggest headache for students is the magic history exam on the last day.
The already boring classroom environment, coupled with the more boring textbook knowledge, most students will fall asleep unknowingly in class-Professor Bins never even thought of waking everyone up.
As a result, the students who have to face the exam have suffered a lot in the dark review. As for the final exam... Hey, I don't want to mention it.
It has been Thursday evening, when the moment when the exams for nearly two weeks finally came to an end, the little wizards finally gathered on the grass outside the auditorium gate and cheered.
Yes, maybe some of them are very likely to be crying for saying goodbye to each other after celebrating. But at least, the test, which was almost breathless, was finally over.
When the howls of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded from the vestibule, Maca, who was teaching students from other grades upstairs, couldn't help but stop explaining, and walked to the window and glanced down.
Obviously, even Professor McGonagall, who has always been harsh in the past, rarely allowed them, these graduates, to indulge a little bit today, and did not immediately rush them back to the common room.
Maca leaned against the window and watched quietly for a while, then turned her head and waved gently.
"Sit down for me, I'm still in class!" After he summoned the students who were also looking down at the window to their seats, he smiled slightly, "Don't worry! Today I will dismiss get out of class earlier so that you can have more time to make noise with the seniors..."
Before the words finished, there was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and words of praise were endless. But at almost the same time, the cheers from below stopped abruptly and changed to Professor McGonagall's stern hum.
"Stop it all for me!" Maca quickly waved his hands. "If Professor McGonagall hears you, you are ready to collectively clean the wall tiles in the bathroom!"
……
For graduates, the end of the exam 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, all right! At any rate, they still have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation to adjust themselves. Before the N.E.W.Ts course starts, they can relax.
A few days later, in the night horse carriage going to Hogsmeade Station.
"...I will go to play with you, and you can always write to me if you have anything to do," Maca was talking to Harry and the others, "Of course, you are welcome to send a letter even if there is nothing wrong with you!"
"Will you always be in school? Didn't plan to go somewhere to relax or something?" Ron said curiously~IndoMTL.com~If I were as rich as you, I would definitely have a luxury global tour! "
"Oh, then you have to work hard to make money after graduation," Maca smiled, "In addition...Yes, at least temporarily, you will stay in school for a while."
Yes, he will not leave Hogwarts yet. Because in the early part of the summer vacation this year, he still needs to assist Professor McGonagall to do some interesting little work!
When the carriage creaked and drove to the intersection in front of the station, Maca and Hagrid together put everyone on the train, waved their hands with a smile, and watched the train gradually go away with thick smoke. There were a little different emotions.
Too many things happened this school year, both good and bad, but no matter what, it finally left with the Hogwarts Express.
After this, is there only a bright and smooth path left? Although there are still various uncertain factors around, Maca naturally hopes so.
"Hagrid, we should go back!"
Maca raised his hand and patted his arm. Suddenly, he realized that he, who could only photograph Hagrid's ass, had grown so tall!
"Oh, yes--" Hagrid put the wet handkerchief in his coat pocket and nodded, "Well, I should go to the three broomsticks for a drink...Maca , Do you want to be together?"
"Although I would like to go too, but unfortunately," said Maca, "Professor McGonagall asked me to go there immediately after sending the students. I think you should understand... There are a few very Meaningful little work!"
"Aha!" Hager said happily, "So, are you going this year?"
