Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1103: The Ultimate Wizarding Exam
The resurrection of Voldemort and the scandal of the Ministry of Magic completely detonated public opinion and set off a storm in the British magic circle. The whole magic circle was clamoring for Fudge to resign.
This incident did not affect Hogwarts, and everyone was still devoting most of their energy to the upcoming final exams. The whole castle was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. It was always crowded with students nervously reviewing. Albert also opened the activity room of the Wizard Card Club and lent it to his acquaintances. It should be said that except for Slytherin, most of the seventh grade students came to join in the fun.
"You really aren't nervous at all!" Lee Jordan could not conceal his envy in his tone. The guy in front of him didn't take the exam seriously at all.
"Don't you see that I'm also reviewing now?" Albert tapped his fingers on the notebook on the table. He is now reviewing the so-called key points to strengthen his memory so as not to fail in the written test.
Different from the O.W.L. Examination (Ordinary Wizard Level Exam), the .Exam (Ultimate Wizard Exam) does not actually test the basics, but the knowledge points learned in the sixth and seventh grades. The level is very high.
"Tell us the key points, maybe we can get a good grade in the exam." Lee Jordan was the first to express everyone's thoughts, which is why most of the students came to join in the fun. Tell us about the key points of the exam.
They benefited a lot from Albert's defense against the dark arts last time.
"Important? The professors have mentioned it in class." Albert raised his eyebrows and said.
"Then you think those are more important?" Angelina asked.
"Silent spell, this is almost a must."
Albert noticed the students surrounding him and knew that Lee Jordan had led him into the pit, so he closed his notes and casually talked about the key points of the exams in recent years.
"Whether it's the practice test of spells or the practice test of the Defense Against the Dark Arts test, silent spells will be involved. If you want to get a high score in these two tests, you must be able to use silent spells skillfully."
"The silent spell is not easy to use." Angelina muttered.
"The examiner will look at the lips of the students. If there are obvious traces of chanting softly on the lips, the test score will not be too high." Albert reminded. He knew that many students were lazy during the practice, secretly chanting mantras in a low voice, so as to pretend that they had mastered silent mantras.
Everyone knows how difficult the silent spell is. It doesn't mean that you have mastered it if you can use a silent spell, so there are very few students who really master the silent spell.
This is the true level of the exam.
As for the written test, as long as you put in more effort, it is not difficult to pass the written test with a relatively good score.
"The exams for potions are usually about antidotes." Albert continued, "They will ask students to analyze the poisons, and then prepare the corresponding antidotes."
"It's not easy."
"The antidote is the most difficult and most torturous test point in Potions." Albert nodded and said, "The difficulty depends on the ingredients of the poison provided by the examiner."
"Of course, it is also possible to configure other more complicated potions, but I think this is not a difficult task. As long as you practice hard, you can usually get good results."
"I don't think the potion is as simple as that in "Advanced Potion Making"." Arya complained.
This is actually the voice of many people.
Many wizards are actually unable to concoct satisfactory potions, and they even dare not drink the potions they concocted. Potions of difficult difficulty are quite difficult to brew.
"That's why the antidote is often configured, because the difficulty of the exam can be adjusted, depending on the difficulty of the poison given by the examiner."
"What about Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
Lee Jordan was more concerned with the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, which was the only subject in which he was likely to get a high score.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts is more about silent spells, how to break them, and how to repel ghosts or ghosts."
"Sounds difficult, I mean silent spells involved."
"The difficulty is actually that you need to use a silent spell to break a curse or poison that you don't know, or it may be..." Albert continued to analyze the exam questions that may be encountered next. However, many things that seem simple to him are undoubtedly quite difficult in the eyes of most students.
. The difficulty of the exam is much higher than that of the O.W.L. exam. If you don’t listen carefully in class and don’t study hard, it will be a bit difficult to pass the next practical exam, especially this semester. Umbridge was disturbed, and the professors did not have strict requirements, resulting in many students not paying much attention to learning.
However, it is a good thing for them to listen to Albert talk about the test points here, at least they can review them in a targeted manner.
"If I had known, I would have dropped out of school with Fred and George." Lee Jordan said gloomily, "It feels like the exam is going to be over."
"Generally, there are not many students who get high marks in the exam. As long as they pass the exam, they can get a certificate." Shanna comforted.
"There are many differences between passing, good and excellent in the certificate, but many good positions will require at least a few courses to reach 'E'." Cedric is the comparison here except for Albert and Katrina easy.
"You're not talking about Aurors, are you?" Lee Jordan muttered, "Going to work as an Auror in the Ministry of Magic now is nothing but cannon fodder."
"Forget about the Auror, as for whether to enter the Ministry of Magic, it depends on the situation." Cedric shrugged.
"For other jobs in the Ministry of Magic, you have to have connections in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise you won't get any good jobs." Albert reminded.
"The Ministry of Magic is not peaceful now."
"I know that, Gabriel mentioned it to me." Cedric said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also very interested in coming to Hogwarts to be a professor of transfiguration."
"You want to drive Professor McGonagall away?"
"I can wait for Professor McGonagall to retire before applying."
"You have a chance. Professor McGonagall won't be able to teach Transformation for a few years." Albert nodded and said, "You can talk to Professor McGonagall about this first. The problem, the premise is that you have to be excellent in the Transformation exam, which will help you get this position."
"Really?" Cedric asked in surprise, "Professor McGonagall is retiring?"
"You will know later." Albert said with a smile.
"Oh, what the hell."
"Albert, what about you?"
"I haven't thought about it for the time being, but I will definitely not enter the Ministry of Magic anyway." Albert made no secret of his dislike for the Ministry of Magic: "Maybe, I will write a few books, um, I have a plan to travel around the world , anyway, the pile of bonuses I got before is enough for me to spend several years, and I don’t need to worry about work for the time being.”
"It's really enviable!"
"Where's Katrina?"
"After graduation, I might open a beauty shop with someone else, and we'll see what happens." Katrina glanced at Albert and said calmly.
Perhaps because I just memorized the so-called important points, everyone is in a good mood, and they get together to talk about their future job plans.
Some pure-blood girls plan to get married after graduation, and don't worry about future problems at all. Some pure-blood wizards come from wealthy families, or have connections in the Ministry of Magic, and plan to find a job at the Ministry of Magic after graduation.
The hardest ones are actually those wizards born in Muggle families. Their families can't provide any help. They can only struggle alone in this strange place in the wizarding world to find a good job for themselves.
At first, joining the Ministry of Magic was a good choice. At worst, you can do Muggle liaison work that many wizards look down on. But now that Voldemort has been resurrected, the magic world has been involved in the storm, and it is very risky to work in the Ministry of Magic. .
"Sanna, what are you going to do in the future?" a Hufflepuff boy asked.
Sanna is the wizard born in a Muggle family with the best grades in their class except for Albert.
"If possible, I'd like to try a therapist. I heard that the salary is good for this position." Shanna muttered.
Of all professions, aurors and healers require the most certification, but they are also high-paying positions in the wizarding world and are respected.
"The requirements for this position are the same as those of the Auror. They all need to achieve at least 'E' in Potions, Herbalism, Transfiguration, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Yeah, I'm not sure." Shanna was not as confident as Albert.
"This position is not bad." Albert nodded and said, "You can give it a try. With your level, it shouldn't be difficult."
"The therapists in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries are paid well, but they are very busy every day." Katrina knows the healers better than many students here. She actually wanted to be a therapist, but... ...give it up for now.
The time is faster than expected. The O.W.L. exam for the fifth grade students is coming soon, and the seventh grade students are also starting to prepare for the exam.
However, unlike the fifth graders, the exam location for the seventh graders is not in the hall, but in a relatively spacious classroom, which probably has something to do with the fact that there are not many students taking the exam.
Many students at Hogwarts choose a small number of subjects. The number of students in the advanced class of most subjects is only a dozen. For example, the advanced class of ancient runes has only a few students. Defense against the Dark Arts probably has the most students. The subjects for the exam are really thanks to Albert's tutoring.
"Long time no see, Mr. Anderson." Professor Marchban warmly greeted Albert: "I heard that you gave Umbridge a hard lesson."
"She went too far." Albert said innocently.
"It's really hard to believe that such a person can hold an important position in the Ministry of Magic." Professor Tofty was also very dissatisfied with Umbridge.
"However, Umbridge is finished." Professor Marchbane said with a smile, "The matter has become a big mess, and the Ministry of Magic was forced to open a court to try her matter."
"Using Veritaserum to question her about those crimes?"
"There is indeed such a plan." Professor Marchban said, "The Ministry of Magic also wants to find out if this is true. The Umbridge incident has made the Ministry of Magic very passive. Send a roar letter.”
"Although I think you probably don't need an exam, well, let's get started!" Professor Tofty said with a smile.
The practice test of the spells turned out to be almost the same as Albert expected: he needed to use silent spells to complete three spells. (Randomly draw three out of the five spells), Albert shook his wand and quickly used all five spells.
Turn a glass of water into vinegar, and use the anti-alahoo hole spell on the small box...
In addition to the silent spell, there are seven other items. The general examination only needs to be drawn by lottery to complete the other two items.
However, Maqiban and Tofudi asked Albert to do all of them, and then directly gave an excellent one, which is considered a preferential treatment for geniuses.
"How did you do?"
After Lee Jordan finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and patted himself on the head and said, "I really asked a stupid question."
"It must be excellent." Shanna said without hesitation, "I got stuck on the silent spell. There is a spell that I haven't practiced, so I can only recite it in a low voice. However, it seems that the examiner discovered it."
"Don't worry, the deductions are usually not too severe. The final score is calculated by adding the scores of the practical test and the written test." Albert comforted.
However, if you can't use the silent spell, you basically have no chance of being excellent, because this one is more ruthless.
"I feel like this is pitiful. There are few in the entire wizarding world who can do it like you." Lee Jordan complained, "Many wizards chant spells quietly or silently when they use them. Points will be deducted for shaking your lips.".c0m
"In fact, there is still a difference. The difference in using spells. The fact that we use spells so quickly is actually related to silent spells." Albert explained.
"Are you sure?" Cedric looked at Albert suspiciously, "I think using a silent spell is slower and requires more concentration."
"That's because you are not skilled enough." Albert said to Li Jordan, "I remember you can also cast the Fuchsia Curse?"
"Yes, that's true, as long as you have a thought in your heart, or say it silently in your heart." Lee Jordan said to Cedric, "I think you'd better not worry about it and discuss it with Albert He is completely asking for trouble, he is different from us."
"You're right," said Cedric.
"Tell you a good news~IndoMTL.com~Albert changed the topic.
"What good news."
"After a while, the Ministry of Magic will formally try Umbridge."
"How do you know."
"Professor March class told me."
"You guys are still chatting during the exam."
"No, it was before the exam."
"Will the Ministry of Magic favor Umbridge?" Harry asked out of nowhere.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head, "However, probably not. After all, Umbridge's reputation is already rotten. There should be no need for the Ministry of Magic to favor her."
"How about you take the time to look at the crystal ball." Harry suggested, "We must not let that guy escape." Remember the website address of this site, www. biquxu. Com, which is convenient for reading next time, or enter "" in Baidu to enter this site
