Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 635: “The mind is like one”
Whether it is the O.W.Ls exam for fifth-grade students or the N.E.W.Ts exam for seventh-grade students, the written test part tests the theoretical level of the little wizards. In the practical part, the application aspect is more to be seen.
Just like the first exam question Harry encountered, the majority of students can do things like flipping a glass of wine. But if you want to win the admiration of the examiner, you need to show something different.
Because of this, Harry's question may seem simple, but in fact it may not be easier to get a good score than Ron's exam question.
At the very least, if Ron can fill all five cups, his grades will certainly not be bad. And not like "letting the wine glass turn somersault", if you inadvertently, it will be awkward to everyone.
Here, Ron, after contemplating for a while, suddenly thought of Maca's strange and surprisingly powerful freezing magic. He was naturally beyond the reach of such unheard of magic, but he couldn't be troubled by freezing a glass of water.
"The chill is like ice."
When he waved his magic wand and tapped on the cup filled with water, following a spell, the water in the cup suddenly "cracked" from the edge of the cup he tapped. Ice began to form everywhere.
"Floating into the air."
After the initial Frozen Curse was completed, the second spell was read out of his mouth with extreme caution. As the curse took effect successfully, the frozen ice cube jumped from the cup and landed steadily on the table.
To be honest, Ron actually wants to get started right now. But what is going on at the moment is a practical exam of spells. If you touch it with your hands, what if the examiner deducts points without saying anything?
"Quickly getting bigger!"
The third spell is the expansion spell. This spell works best when applied to solids. If you don't freeze the water beforehand, even if he uses the energy of breastfeeding, it is amazing that it can make a glass of water into about two glasses.
"Then...er, torn apart! Oh..."
He got here, Ron was a little confused. Although this spell can be found in the first-grade "Standard Spell · Elementary", it is a relatively easy-to-handle spell. But just by seeing that it will be repeatedly explained and practiced in the next few semesters, you can know that this is a spell that is easy to learn but difficult to master.
To put it simply, it is not easy to control the intensity when cutting hard objects. If you are not careful, it will "click" along with the objects under the target.
This time, Ron's cutting spell was obviously flawed. Although the table was not a major problem, the enlarged icicle exploded suddenly. Two of the five pieces passed over the brim of the old witch examiner on the opposite side, and went straight to the other side diagonally across. Candidates went.
"Small, be careful--" "Bang!"
It was Dean Thomas, in the same dorm with Ron and Harry. He was a black-haired, dark-skinned boy. When the ice cube flew towards the back of his head, he was trying to use a spell to make the flower seedlings in the flowerpot grow up and bloom!
However, with a scream, Thomas's wand plunged straight into the dirt of the flowerpot. Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion accompanied a large amount of fresh mud flying away, splashing a few people nearby.
"Bah, baah..." Ron vomited the Saturn child in his mouth, and then said with annoyance, "Sorry Dean, uh... sorry, dear lady."
There was such a big noise in the examination room, Ron thought to himself that it would definitely be over again. In the morning, the curse theory test paper was not completed, and this kind of moth came out in the afternoon, and the course of curse learning was completely hopeless.
Who knows, the cold-faced old witch on the opposite side just took off her hat and gently shook the dirt on it, and then waved her hand blankly.
"Mr. Ron Weasley, are you going to give up?"
"Oh, I...can I continue?" Ron immediately said in surprise, "Uh...wait, I'll continue! That...floating into the air!"
Ron's eyebrows were suddenly overjoyed when he saw that he could continue to complete the exam questions. He hastily recalled the ice cubes that had flown out with a floating curse, then put the five cut ice lumps into the cup one by one, and carefully began to melt the ice cubes with the fire curse.
In this exam question, he never used any difficult spells from beginning to end. If you have to say what is the most difficult here, then I am afraid it is the extremely basic "flaming flame" of this Dao itself.
Use a fire curse to warm the contents of the cup. Maca was used in the pig's head bar at the beginning, and it was used to heat butter beer. The effect was quite good. So he added this inconspicuous little trick to those curse materials.
Because it is difficult for Ron to use those spells with a high learning threshold, he has spent a lot of effort on such easy-to-learn spells. It can be seen that the effect is still good when it is shown in the exam at this moment.
At least, when the cold-faced old witch on the opposite side saw his little skill, she couldn't help but light up.
Frozen a cup of water, then expand it to enlarge it, and finally cut and melt it. It is barely enough to fill the five empty cups with more than half of the cup of water. Although the expansion spell is time-effective, the application of this series of spells is enough for the examiner to score a good score.
After the old witch glanced at the cup, she picked up the notepad with Ron's file in it and wrote a few strokes:
"The level of spelling is medium to high, and it has the flexibility of multiple spells to be used together. Specific spells (such as fire spells) have clever use of ideas and finer control capabilities."
After a little thought, she added a little next to her: "Same mind, not confident enough."
In fact, there are many ways to answer this question. If you are smart enough, you can actually fill five cups easily with a glass of water just by casting a shrinking spell on the cup. Of course, each student's abilities tend to be different, and the importance of being smart, alert and hardworking is naturally equal.
After that, Ron's practice test continued, but there were no surprises. When the old witch examiner finished scoring and signing on the file, Ron finally walked out of the auditorium with a panic.
"Ron, how about it?" Harry and Hermione who were waiting at the door saw him come out and immediately leaned forward. "I heard Dean complaining that your ice hit the back of his head. As a result, he smeared the examiner's face with mud..."
"Oh..." Ron said with a bitter face when he heard the words, "I think I have to go to Dean to apologize or something! I hope I didn't let him fail the exam..."
……
Not to mention that Ron is still frowning because of the "bad luck" all day long, and the exams in the auditorium are still going on! When the O.W.Ls practice test of curse studies ended, the nightmare of graduates followed—the practical content of N.E.W.Ts.
As far as the theory test in the morning is concerned, everyone is a paper and a pen, and it is passed by, and there is no difference. But in the afternoon practice exam, the gap between the two was immediately revealed.
There is no need to go in and see. From then on until the end of the evening, there is always chaos in the closed auditorium. The sound of explosions, impacts, the sound of liquid flowing... and even occasionally you can see the fire from the window flickering, which is really lively.
After a while, one or two seventh-grade students with happy or worried expressions will come out of the door, and then the door will be closed tightly again.
Fortunately, there are not many students who can take N.E.W.Ts courses. Although everyone's exam time is obviously not short, but when the setting sun shines on the entire castle and a dazzling golden light, this whole day of hustle and bustle has finally come to an end.
After sending off the last student, the examiners in the auditorium all packed their things one after another, and Maca, who was in charge of entertaining these old professors, also went inside with Professor Flitwick.
"I can't believe it, I thought the troublemaker would definitely cheat in the exam! But they all honestly finished the exam..."
Walking ~IndoMTL.com~ The little Flitwick whispered to Maca, with a visibly surprised look on his face.
"Hey," Maca smiled, "I have reminded them both, if they cheat, I must be the first to report! The twins are very capable, if they take the test well, the results would have been It won’t be bad."
"Yes!" Professor Flitwick shook his head, "The two kids are just too noisy..."
"It's a little trouble..." Maca shrugged, "But now they graduated, and I'm afraid Hogwarts will be much quieter when they look back... Believe me, Professor Flitwick, we will sooner or later. I will miss the days when they were there!"
After that, he raised his head and nodded to several old wizards, and said with a little respect: "Professor Macchiban, Professor TOFDI... You have worked hard today, please go to the side hall to take a rest! In a short while, you will be able to enjoy a great dinner at Hogwarts!"
"Thank you, we are looking forward to it."
Ms. Marcheban, the leader of this time, wore a set of old-fashioned wizard robes with simple colors and no decorations. She looked like a stingy old lady. She has neatly combed silver hair and a little smile on her face, but the deep eyes are more calm.
But to be honest, this is actually a very talkative old lady, at least Maca thinks so-although she sometimes feels too serious.
"Mr. McLean, if necessary, we can help you restore the auditorium together." She looked at the auditorium and said, "Many years ago, I also read a book here... to be honest Yes, come here every year to see it, it makes me feel as if I have become a few years younger!"
