Chapter 1106 The Ultimate Wizard Exam (2)
Everyone wants Umbridge to be unlucky?
Maybe.
But more people like to watch the excitement. After watching the excitement, everyone is indifferent to Umbridge's life and death.
Now, most of the students are focusing on the final exams, especially the fifth and seventh graders, who don't care about Umbridge at all.
The trial of the toad, which should have attracted attention, was ignored by everyone.
After all, what did it matter to them whether Umbridge was in Azkaban?
In the entire Hogwarts school, probably only Harry Potter cared about Umbridge's affairs, and the O.W.L. exam also distracted most of Harry's energy.
Recently, Albert often heard seventh-grade students complaining that the practical exams were too difficult, and there were quite a few students whose points were deducted by the examiner for chanting incantations in a low voice.
However, the Charms practice exam is not the most difficult. The Transformation Practice Exam on the second day of the Ultimate Wizard Examination stunned most of the examinees.
Students were asked to transform their bodies: use transformation magic to change their appearance, that is, to use magic to disguise themselves. This seems simple, but it actually stumps many people. The various weird appearances make the examiners shake their heads. .
In addition, candidates also need to transform a table into a pig, or other creatures, and the larger the volume of the deformed object, the more difficult it is. Transforming a table is undoubtedly a challenge for everyone .
In the end, it was easier, that is to use the changing spell, according to the examiner's request, to change a whole paragraph of text on the parchment, so that the content on other parchments will also be changed.
It was no surprise that Albert won the excellent again easily. When he was waiting for other people outside the corridor, he saw faces that made people laugh.
Some people dye their hair in an attempt to disguise themselves; Go to the school hospital to ask Madam Pomfrey for help, in order to restore himself to his original state.
"What are you going to turn yourself into?"
Albert looked up and down Lee Jordan's appearance, and joked with a smile. He raised his wand to help Lee Jordan restore his eyebrows and hair to normal.
"I don't know either. My mind went blank during the exam." Lee Jordan sighed deeply. He felt that he might not be able to get the most advanced N.E.W.Ts transformation certificate.
"So, you dyed your eyebrows and hair, trying to get away with it?"
"Totally screwed up anyway."
"If you plan to open a store in the future, it doesn't matter if you mess up or not. Anyway, even if you really get the N.E.W.Ts certificate, you won't need it." Albert comforted.
"It's true to say that, but... it's always very depressing." Lee Jordan sighed lightly, "It's impossible to understand our feelings if we take the exam every time we are excellent."
"How was the exam?" Albert asked Shanna with a smile.
"It will be fine if you pass the exam."
"Where's Angelina?"
"The table turned into a pig, it doesn't seem...too active."
"Maybe it's too fat, Albert's fat cat likes to lie on his stomach all day." Lee Jordan comforted.
"Forget it, anyway, it doesn't matter what your grades are, and you can finally breathe tomorrow." Angelina planned to join the Quidditch club after graduation, and did not require a certificate.
"What if I don't succeed in joining the Quidditch club?" Alicia looked at her friend and reminded, "If you get good grades, you can always leave a way for yourself."
"You should have confidence in me. Even Albert thinks I can join the Quiditch Club." Angelina stared at Alia dissatisfied. .
"Angelina still has a lot of advantages in this respect. She plays well and has also served as the captain of Quidditch." Lee Jordan comforted, "Angelina who graduates every year and is willing to join the Quidditch club There are not many students, even if you really screw up, you can go to the store to help, Fred and George will definitely welcome you to help."
"Are they really opening a store?" Shanna asked curiously.
"It's still under renovation." Albert said with a smile, "However, it should be open for business soon."
"The rent of stores in Diagon Alley should be very expensive, right?"
"Since the news of the mysterious man's resurrection spread, the business in Diagon Alley has deteriorated. Many shops have closed down, and the prices of the shops are much cheaper. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ollivander seems to be missing. .”
Thanks to the disappearance of Ollivander and Fusco, which caused panic in Diagon Alley, the stubborn original owner finally compromised and was willing to sell the shop at a lower price. The last wizarding war lasted a long time.
"Ollivander? The one who made the wand?" Shanna looked surprised.
"Yes, that's him." Albert nodded and said, "The store was empty, and there was no sign of a fight. No one knows whether he left by himself or was kidnapped."
"What about the magic wands of the freshmen next semester?"
"The Ministry of Magic can only find other wand manufacturers." Albert shrugged and said, "However, it may not be easy for them to find a good reputation."
Albert didn't know whether Ollivander escaped by himself or was captured by the Death Eaters. Anyway, the wand maker was indeed missing.
As for Florin Fusco, that guy ran away early by himself. Albert knew about this. Before Fusco left the UK, he wrote a letter to Albert to express his gratitude.
"Unfortunately, it's the worst time, and it's not easy to find a job in this environment." Shanna sighed heavily, and began to worry about her future.
"You can always find a job." Albert comforted, "If you really don't have a job, I can introduce you to one."
"You still introduce jobs to others?" Everyone looked at Albert in surprise.
"This is the benefit of knowing a lot of people, but I'm not sure if you like those jobs." Albert shrugged and reminded, "It's not easy to find a satisfactory job."
The herbal medicine practical exam on the third day of the Ultimate Wizarding Exam is: How to standardize the fangs and leaves of the poisonous tentacles.
For this reason, Madam Pomfrey complained a lot about this matter.
Because a lot of wizards were poisoned to death by poisonous tentacles.
Since the poisonous tentacle itself is an extremely dangerous plant, Madam Pomfrey had to wait by the side the whole time to prevent the students from being bitten by the poisonous tentacles during the exam.
Although such cases are actually rare, they have to be guarded against.
Albert picked the fangs and leaves very easily, because he used a spell to directly hold the poisonous tentacles, and quickly completed the test.
Although it is not the same as the so-called norms, Albert's method is obviously safer and can be harvested quickly, so Professor Marchiban and Professor Tofudi still gave it excellent, because it is allowed to use during harvesting Magically assisted, although points will be deducted if caught by poisonous tentacles.
After the exam, Albert was left by Mrs. Pomfrey to help, and the head nurse kept complaining about it to Professor Pomona Sprout, who was full of helplessness.
Actually, as long as you are prepared for protection, the poisonous tentacles are not as dangerous as you imagined. Most of the wizards who were poisoned to death by the poisonous tentacles did not wear dragon leather gloves. first aid.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam was on Thursday, and probably because of Umbridge, the exam content was easier than expected.
Students were asked to use a silent spell to unravel the spell on the rabbit, and then they were required to master the use of a defensive spell (iron armor spell) to successfully resist the evil spell, and finally to show the examiner the spell to expel the female ghost.
When Albert completed the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical exam, Professor Tofudi suddenly said: "I remember you once published a method to deal with werewolves."
"I didn't invent the restoration spell." Albert shook his head and said, "I just restored the spell."
"Oh, you're still so humble, but that's quite an amazing thing." Professor Tofty asked curiously, "Can you show us."
"I think it's difficult, after all, there are no werewolves here."
"Oh, it's a pity, I heard that the difficulty of restoring the human form spell is quite high." Professor Tofty was a little disappointed.
"Okay Tofudi, there are still many students taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam." Professor March gave Albert an excellent and signaled that he could leave.
The content of Friday's Ancient Rune Exam directly stumped other students, because everyone needed to translate an article without any auxiliary tools.
For the vast majority of students, this is undoubtedly a disaster. Most of the students only have a half-knowledge of ancient runes. "Table" to understand and translate ancient magic texts, but without auxiliary tools, it is absolutely impossible to translate smoothly, even if the content of the article that needs to be translated is very simple.
Of course, Albert couldn't help it. It took him only ten minutes to complete the translation of the ancient runes and leave.
"Except for Albert, no one can complete the translation without auxiliary tools, and we are not experts in this field. Do they expect us to be able to see ancient magic patterns at a glance?"
Shanna often complained about the content of the Ancient Rune Exam. The lack of auxiliary tools made the eyes of the rest of the candidates confused, which severely damaged everyone's confidence.
No way, it usually takes a long time to translate articles, let alone exams.
Therefore, there are very few wizards who are really good at ancient runes, and there are not many jobs that require proficiency in ancient runes.
"You're not very good at it yourself." Lee Jordan raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember you also published a book on ancient runes."
"That's because of need."
"Need?"
"Because some ancient documents are recorded in ancient runes, if you want to understand them thoroughly, you must be proficient, and some ancient spells need to use ancient runes. If you want to master them, you must know ancient runes."
"The reason why you mastered the ancient runes is really..."
Everyone doesn't know what to say.
"Dumbledore is also an expert in ancient runes."
"What about arithmetic divination?" Shanna asked curiously, "Don't tell me, because you are better at mathematics."
"In terms of arithmetic divination, I actually prefer probability." Albert said, "For example, how likely is an event to happen, to speculate whether it will happen."
"So, you can always say a lot of things casually?" Lee Jordan asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"Yes, that's probably the case." Albert admitted directly, "So, many times, I actually guessed right."
Everyone was stunned by the truth.
Is it okay to guess right?
"Divination, except for the possibility of a premonition related to myself, I have to stare at the crystal ball by myself. I don't have so much time."
"So, last time you told Harry that Umbridge was definitely dead?" Lee Jordan asked with a complicated expression.
"It's normal for Umbridge to be finished, because Harry strongly interfered in this matter, which led to her being abandoned by the Ministry of Magic." Albert said naturally, "If she is abandoned, she will naturally be finished. The Ministry of Magic has to give everyone an explanation, and Umbridge is the unlucky one, and he can also appease the mood of the savior by the way."
"If Harry hadn't been interviewed, wouldn't the Ministry of Magic have given up on Umbridge?" Angelina couldn't help asking with wide-eyed eyes.
"Probably not. The Ministry of Magic will probably pretend to suspend Umbridge for investigation. After the limelight of this matter passes, Umbridge will still continue to work in the Ministry of Magic." Abel Tate explained, "But Harry stepped forward and made a big fuss, causing the Ministry of Magic to be unable to cover up anymore, and had to give the public an explanation, so Umbridge had to be given up."
"It's disgusting, no wonder you don't want to work for the Ministry of Magic."
"Anderson, Dumbledore asked you to go to the principal's office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." Nick, who was almost headless, floated over and said to Albert.
"What is it?"
"It seems that the Umbridge case is about to go to trial, and you need to attend the trial as an alternate of the Wizengamot." Nick explained, "Remember to change into your suit."
"That's great news," Lee Jordan muttered.
"I still have to find Potter~IndoMTL.com~He seems to be called as a witness." Nick turned and floated away to inform Harry about it.
"It seems that Umbridge is really doomed." Angelina said with emotion, "Maybe, she will really be imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of her life."
"It's hard, this time I'll be imprisoned for a few years at most." Albert shook his head.
"But didn't you predict that Umbridge would die in Azkaban Prison?" Lee Jordan asked puzzled.
"Yes, but not this time."
"Is there a next time?"
"I think that after the mysterious man takes control of the situation, he will definitely release the prisoners of Azkaban and let them become his minions." Albert whispered his speculation, "Umbridge knows the Ministry of Magic, and He is still the deputy minister, he is so bad to the bone, and he knows some Death Eaters, so he will definitely be reused."
"So, when the Mysterious Man is defeated by Harry and Umbridge is thrown into Azkaban again, he can only spend the rest of his life there?" Lee Jordan understood Albert's meaning .
