Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1103: Ultimate Wizarding Exam
Voldemort's resurrection and the scandal at the Ministry of Magic completely detonated public opinion and set off a storm in the British wizarding world. The entire wizarding community was clamoring for Fudge's resignation.
This incident did not spill over to Hogwarts, most of the energy is still devoted to the upcoming final exams, and the whole castle is enveloped in a tense atmosphere, in the library, common room and room of request Always crowded with students who were nervously reviewing, Albert also opened the activity room of the Wizard Card Club and lent it to his acquaintances. It should be said that most of the seventh graders except Slytherin came to join in the fun.
"You're really not nervous at all!" Lee Jordan's tone was full of envy that he couldn't hide. The guy in front of him didn't take the exam seriously at all.
"Didn't you see that I'm also reviewing now?" Albert tapped the notebook on the table with his fingers, he was now reviewing the so-called key points, to strengthen his memory, so as not to be shrunk on the written test.
Different from the O.W.L. exam (Ordinary Wizarding Ranking Exam), the .W.L. exam (Ultimate Wizarding Exam) does not actually test the basics, but the knowledge points learned in the sixth and seventh grades. The level has high requirements.
"Tell us about the key points, maybe we can get good grades in the test." Lee Jordan was the first to express everyone's thoughts, which is why most of the students came to join in the fun. They all hoped that Albert could take the time. Let me tell you the key points of the exam.
The last time Albert's Defence Against the Dark Arts tutorial, they benefited a lot.
"The point? The professors mentioned it in class." Albert said with a raised eyebrow.
"Then you think those are more important?" Angelina pressed.
"Silent spell, this is almost a must."
Albert noticed the surrounding students and knew that this was a trap for Lee Jordan, so he closed his notes and casually talked about the key points of the exam in recent years.
"Whether it's the Spells Practical Exam or the Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, both will involve Silent Spells. To get high marks in both exams, you must be able to use Silent Spells proficiently."
"Silent spells are not easy to use," grumbled Angelina.
"The examiner will look at the lips of the students. If there are obvious signs of whispering a spell on the lips, the test score will not be too high," Albert reminded. He knew that many students were lazy during practice and secretly chanted the mantra in a whisper to pretend they had mastered the silent mantra.
Everyone knows how difficult the Silent Mantra is. It doesn't mean that you can use Silent Mantra to use a spell and you have mastered it, so there are very few students who really master Silent Mantra.
This is the true level of the exam.
As for the written test, it is not difficult to pass the written test with an excellent grade, as long as the reasons are put in more effort.
"The exam for potions is usually about antidote." Albert continued, "They will ask students to analyze the poison, and then prepare the corresponding antidote."
"It's not easy."
"Antidote is the most difficult and torturous test site in the entire potions study." Albert nodded and said, "For average difficulty, it depends on the ingredients of the poison provided by the examiner."
"Of course, it is possible to configure other more complex potions, but I don't think this is difficult. As long as you practice hard, you can usually get good results."
"I don't think there is that kind of simple potion in Advanced Potions Maker," Arya spat.
This is actually the voice of many people.
Many wizards are actually unable to prepare satisfactory potions, and even they dare not drink their own potions. The difficulty of potions is quite high.
"That's why the antidote often appears, 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, the only subject in which he was likely to score well.
“More on the Defense Against the Dark Arts test of silent spells, cracking spells, and how to repel infernal corpses or female ghosts.”
"Sounds hard, I mean Silent Mantra involved."
"The difficulty is actually that you need to use the silent spell to crack an evil or poisonous spell that you don't know, or it may be..." Albert continued to analyze the exam questions he might encounter next. However, many things are simple in his view, but 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 or study hard, it will be a bit more difficult to pass the next practical exam, especially if you are being Umbridge was messed up, and the professors didn't have strict requirements, so many students didn't pay much attention to their studies.
However, it's a good thing for them to listen to Albert's talk about the test center here, at least for targeted review.
"If I had known, I also dropped out with Fred and George." Lee Jordan said gloomily, "It feels like... the exam is over."
"Generally. There are not many students who get high scores 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 achieve 'E'." Cedric is here to compare with Albert and Katrina easy.
"You're talking about Aurors, right?" Lee Jordan muttered. "To be an Auror at the Ministry of Magic now is to be a cannon fodder."
"Forget the Aurors. As for whether to join the Ministry of Magic, it will depend on the situation." Cedric shrugged.
"Other positions in the Ministry of Magic, you have to have a relationship in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise you won't get any good positions." Albert reminded.
"There's no peace in the Ministry of Magic right now."
"I know that, Gabriel mentioned it to me." Cedric said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also interested in coming to Hogwarts as a Transfiguration professor."
"You want to drive Professor McGonagall away?"
"I can wait until Professor McGonagall retirees before applying."
"You have a chance, Professor McGonagall won't teach Transfiguration for a few years." Albert nodded and said, "You can talk to Professor McGonagall about this first, as long as you accumulate a few years of experience, it shouldn't be a problem. Questions, provided that you do well in the Transfiguration exam, which will help you get this position."
"Really?" Cedric asked in surprise, "Professor McGonagall is retiring?"
"You'll find out later." Albert said with a smile.
"Oh, what the hell."
"Albert, how about you?"
"I haven't thought about it for a while, but I'm sure I won't join the Ministry of Magic anyway." Albert made no secret of his disgust at the Ministry of Magic: "Maybe, I will write a few books, well, I have a plan to travel around the world. , anyway, the pile of bonuses I got earlier 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 graduating, I may open a beauty shop with others, and we will see the situation later." Katrina glanced at Albert and said calmly.
Perhaps because I just remembered the so-called key points, everyone was in a good mood and got together to talk about their future job plans.
Some pure-blooded girls plan to marry after graduation and don't worry about the future at all. Some pure-blood wizards are wealthy families, or have connections in the Ministry of Magic, and plan to go to the Ministry of Magic to get a job after graduation.
The hardest is actually the wizards who were born in Muggle families. Their families can't give any help, and they can only struggle alone in strange places like the wizarding world to find a good job for themselves.
Joining the Ministry of Magic was a good choice at first, and at worst, it was possible to work in Muggle liaison jobs that many wizards disliked, but now that Voldemort has been resurrected, and the wizarding world has been caught up in the turmoil, going to the Ministry of Magic is very risky .
"Sanna, what are you going to do next?" asked a Hufflepuff boy.
Sanna is the best Muggle-born wizard of their class besides Albert.
"I'd like to try a therapist if possible, I heard it pays well," Shanna muttered.
Aurors and therapists have the highest requirements for certification of all professions, but they are also well-paid and respected positions in the wizarding world.
"The requirements for this position are the same as those for Aurors, requiring a minimum of 'E' in Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Conjuration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts."
"Yeah, I'm not sure." Shanna wasn't as confident as Albert.
"This position is not bad." Albert nodded and said, "You can give it a try. At your level, it shouldn't be difficult."
"The therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries are really well paid, but they are busy every day." Katrina knows therapists better than many students here, and she actually wanted to be a therapist, but... ...abandoned for the time being.
The time is faster than expected. The O.W.L. exam for the students in the fifth grade is coming soon, and the students in the seventh grade are also starting to prepare for the test.
However, unlike the fifth grade students, the seventh grade students' exam location is not in the hall, but in a relatively spacious classroom, which is probably related to the fact that there are not many students taking the exam.
Many students at Hogwarts choose. The number of subjects is not large. The number of students in the advanced class of most subjects is only a dozen. For example, there are only a few students in the advanced class of ancient rune. Defense against the dark arts is probably the largest number of students. The subjects that I applied for were really thanks to Albert's tutoring.
"Long time no see, Mr. Anderson." Professor Marchban greeted Albert warmly: "I heard you gave Umbridge a hard lesson."
"She went too far." Albert said innocently.
"It's hard to believe that someone like that can hold an important position in the Ministry of Magic." Professor Tofoday was also very dissatisfied with Umbridge.
"But Umbridge is dead," Professor Marchban said with a smile. "It got so big that the Ministry of Magic was forced to go to trial for her case."
"Ask her about those charges with Veritaserum?"
"There is indeed 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 very passive, and many parents of students have come to the Ministry of Magic. Send roaring letters."
"Although I think you probably don't need the test, well, let's get started!" Professor Tofody said with a smile.
The practical exam for spells turned out to be exactly what Albert expected: he needed to use the Silent Spell to complete three spells. (Three randomly drawn from the five spells) Albert shook his wand and quickly used all five spells.
Turn a glass of water into vinegar and use the Anti-Araho Hole-Opening Charm on the small box...
In addition to the Silent Mantra, there are seven other items. Generally, the test only needs to be drawn by lot and complete the other two items.
However, Machiban and Tofudi asked Albert to do all of them, and then gave them an excellent one, which is considered a preferential treatment for geniuses.
“How was the test?”
After saying this, Lee Jordan suddenly reached out and patted his head and said, "I really asked a stupid question."
"Definitely excellent." Shanna said without hesitation, "I got stuck on the silent spell. There is a spell I haven't practiced, so I can only whisper it. However, it seems that the examiner found it."
"Don't worry, generally it won't be deducted too hard. The final score is calculated by adding up the scores of the practice test and the written test." Albert comforted.
However, if you can't use Silent Spell in general, you're basically out of luck~IndoMTL.com~ because this one is more ruthless.
"I feel like this is very pitiful, there are few in the entire magical world that can be like you." Lee Jordan complained, "Many wizards use whispered or silent incantations when using them, why a little bit? Points will be deducted for a shake of the lip."
"In fact, there is still a difference. The difference in using spells. We use spells so quickly is actually related to silent spells." Albert explained.
"Are you sure?" Cedric looked at Albert suspiciously. "I think using the Silent Charm is slower and requires more concentration."
"That's because you're not skilled enough." Albert said to Lee Jordan, "I remember you also hang the Fuchsia upside down?"
"Yes, that's true, as long as you have a thought in your mind, or you can just read it in your mind." Lee Jordan said to Cedric, "I think you'd better not worry about this and discuss it with Albert. Totally asking for trouble, he's not like us."
"You're right," Cedric said.
"I have good news for you." Albert changed the subject.
"What good news."
"In a short while, the Ministry of Magic will have a formal trial for Umbridge."
"How do you know."
"Professor March class told me."
"You guys are still chatting during the exam."
"No, before the exam."
"Will the Ministry of Magic favor Umbridge." Harry came out of nowhere.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head. "But, probably not. After all, Umbridge's reputation is already bad, and there should be no need for the Ministry of Magic to favor her."
"Otherwise, take a moment to look at the crystal ball," Harry suggested. "You mustn't let that guy escape."
