A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 568: Assessment by the Ministry of Magic
In the auditorium, the sixth graders are still being assessed.
They generally have a foundation. Even according to the normal process of previous years, they started to get in touch with apparation at about this time, but because of the appearance of Sirius, their progress was half a year ahead of schedule, so when Wiki Tecross When asking, more than half of the students stood up.
For the staff of the Ministry of Magic, it is obviously more time-saving and labor-saving to observe the students performing apparation by themselves. They only need to stand by and record the results. During the period, there were two slight splits, and the attitude of the students was quite calm, mainly because they had seen it in advance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Next is the assessment of the appearance of the entourage. The specific steps are that the staff of the Ministry of Magic will lead the students to Apparate, and then check the students' reactions to see if they have a strong rejection reaction.
"It's a heavy burden for us," said Wickie Tecrosse. "Everyone takes a break after a few tries. We set aside two days." A student, they felt bitter for a while.
"I wouldn't suffer if it weren't for seeing Seid," whispered Amos Diggory.
After a long time, the people in the Ministry of Magic were exhausted, and the four deans and Felix also came to help, but after trying twice, something went wrong on Felix's side.
Wicky Tecross walked over quickly, "How do you feel?" He carefully observed the expressions of the students.
"Very good." Cormac McLaggen, who had thick short hair, was taken aback for a moment and replied.
"Oh, no." Wicky Tecross pursed his lips.
"Why not?" he asked in surprise.
Wicky Tecross didn't answer, he looked at Felix, "Well——Mr. Heppe, your apparition is very—proficient, and there is almost no discomfort during the movement process, which does not meet our test Request." He pointed to the side, and Amos Diggory led a sixth-grade student to move to the opposite wooden circle, and the girl began to retch before she could stand still.
"Marietta, are you okay?" Her companion Qiu Zhang asked with concern.
"I...vomit..." Marietta vomited while hugging the wooden ring, and Mr. Diggory walked away holding his nose, as if no one was willing to approach her except Qiu Zhang.
"You see, it takes that much to get the test going," said Wicky Tecrosse, with no superfluous expression on his face, and Cormac McLaggen looked at him in awe. "Oh, it's normal, I don't think it's strange after watching it a lot..."
"So we want to create as strong a reaction as possible?" Felix asked with interest, and Cormac McLaggen shuddered.
"Oh, there's no need to be too strong..." said Wicky Tecrosse awkwardly.
When it was almost noon, the sixth graders left with excited expressions and whispered. The staff of the Ministry of Magic wrote down their names and performances one by one, and then let the fifth graders come in. Wicky Tecross repeated what he had said before, and then let the students spread out evenly, waiting for the staff to move them.
The deans walked among the students to arrange their places, and Ron held up his hand as Wicky Tecross approached them.
Tekros walked over. He was thin and pale, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, "Student, what's your problem?"
"Well, that's right." Ron glanced at Harry and asked, "I just wanted to ask, we've mastered Apparation—" He saw Wicky Tecross frowned. , he hurriedly added: "We were preparing for the Tournament, and we learned to apparate by the way, me, Harry, and Hermione."
Wicky Tecross looks surprised. He took a good look at Ron's face, then at Harry, "Oh my god, that's right... I recognized it! I saw it on the video, are you a Weasley kid? I saw that Red hair and freckles, your performance at the bottom of the lake is impressive..."
Ron's face turned red. He spent most of his time in the Black Lake repeatedly going through levels and reading a lot of idle books.
Wicky Tecrosse didn't notice his hidden emotions, and said to himself: "I met your father a few times, Arthur Weasley... Unfortunately, I didn't speak a few times... Cough, I I think so."
"What?"
"Guys!" Wicky Tecrosse clapped his hands as the others paused, "Let's add some embellishment to our hard work, and let's welcome last year's Tournament champions, who have sacrificed their lives for the glory of their country." The video shows only a part of it! In fact—they also mastered apparation.”
Harry, Ron and Hermione were pushed into the center of sight.
"Oh," Hermione moaned in a low voice, "I don't intend to show off at this time."
Ron's voice was also a little trembling, "Trust me, I didn't expect it to be like this...Harry, have you brought the Elixir of Felicity, now is the time..."
Harry knew Ron too well to know that he was talking nonsense out of nervousness. How could they drink Felicia while everyone was watching? But he did wonder in his heart whether it was necessary to carry it with him, so as not to be helpless in a similar emergency.
Students and professors gathered around and looked at this scene with very interested eyes. They knew that Harry could Apparate, which he had demonstrated in The Tournament, but they were less sure if Ron and Hermione could do the same.
"Then, to be on the safe side, we'll let Mr. Potter go first," said Wicky Tecrosse, and Harry was pulled near a wooden ring, with a push from behind by Wicky Tecrosse , Harry nearly tripped and jumped into the wooden ring on one side.
"Very well, please hold your breath..."
Wicky Tecrosse's voice came from far away, but Harry's consciousness was completely concentrated in the wooden circle. He was so familiar with this process that he used it during the Christmas holidays. Wanting to occupy the opposite space, he suddenly appeared opposite.
Many students were taken aback.
Only by comparison can there be identification. Most of them don't know that the wizards of the Ministry of Magic actually deliberately exacerbated the discomfort of apparition. They only know that, compared with the violent noises made by those adult wizards, Harry's spellcasting is extremely smooth, and his eyes appear in the blink of an eye. The center of the wooden circle a dozen feet away.
Among the crowd, Umbridge looked at Harry, and she could tell that he was extremely skilled in this magic.
Wiki Tecrosse, who is a professional instructor, was also a little surprised, "You can adjust the position you appear in? Mr. Potter."
Harry nodded.
He spent a lot of time during the summer vacation trying to imitate Professor Haipu's tactic. Although compared with the genuine version, it still looks crude, but it still has a bit of a look. At least Sirius can't crack this tactic.
Students clapped belatedly, and several members of the Front Lookout cheered for Harry. The crowd gradually quieted down, and Ron saw Wicky Tecrosse waving at him with a smile. Is it a dream curse?"
Ron smiled stiffly, and he walked into the wooden circle. Wicky Tecross introduced to his colleagues: "This is Weasley, his brother and father both work in the Ministry, you should know him - Arthur is very nice, I have met him in the elevator a few times, It was he who took the initiative to say hello to me... His brother is a workaholic, and I thought he worked the night shift for a while..."
Ron really wanted him to shut up. He took a few deep breaths, trying to stabilize his emotions, his eyes fixed on the wooden circle in the distance—"Bang!" He appeared in the wooden circle.
Ron quickly touched his face, "I succeeded? Didn't lose my hair? That's great!" He beamed with joy.
The last one was Hermione, who also deftly completed the spellcasting and appeared at the predetermined location accurately. The students applauded together, and she blushed and returned to the crowd.
"Very good," Wicky Tecrosse said loudly, "students, very good. They have demonstrated their magic well, and I will discuss with the Ministry to issue certificates in advance...Also, as a professional instructor Teacher, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding~IndoMTL.com~I have to correct one point, their spell-casting movements are not standard."
"What do you mean?" asked Cormac McLaggen, "They did it wrong?"
"No, of course not, in fact they do better." Wicky Tecross spread his hands, "For beginners, the most important thing to remember when Apparating is the three D's, the target, Determined, calm... We usually have to use the spellcasting action to plunge ourselves into a void."
Tekros walked into the nearest wooden circle after he finished speaking. He opened his arms, circled gracefully in place, disappeared in the swirling of his robe, and then appeared in the wooden circle on the other side. "Just like this—mobilize magic power, turn around gracefully—this is the right way—"
"Are you kidding me!" Ron yelled.
Tycross looked at him calmly, and Ron flinched and said, "Oh, sorry." "Nothing," said Tecrosse, "I was just wondering why you're wondering, didn't the person who taught you Apparition not Tell you about this casting action?"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione immediately looked at Professor Happe in the crowd, who was staring at the ceiling and seemed to be suddenly interested in the candle decoration above his head.
Not far away, Draco Malfoy also showed a surprised expression. He also had the same confusion when he was studying, but the professor didn't mention it at all. He thought it was because the information he saw was wrong...
Professor McGonagall gave Felix a stern look, and the situation was already obvious—Felix must have omitted a rather important step back then, causing Harry and the others to not know that even after learning this magic The spellcasting action...Professor McGonagall glanced at Hermione, this student should know, but the other two...
She smacked her lips, "Tekros? Can the assessment continue?"
