Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 102: End of school year
The years go by, and the peaceful time usually passes extremely quickly.
Time passed day by day.
The cold winter is gone, summer is coming, and the weather has become sultry.
Transfiguration classes began to be taken over by other teachers, with Professor Sinistra in charge of the first grade.
In the castle, there has never been any "accident" since then.
……
And as the final exam approached, everyone had to forget the unpleasant things that happened in the past half a year, including the vampire teacher who taught them for half a year.
They had to devote themselves to the review, trying to memorize complex potion formulas, memorize those spells and spells, and record the time of major magic inventions and goblin rebellions...
Hogwarts is very strict about students' grades! In the main courses, if the grade of any one course is below A, it needs to be retaken in the second grade; and if the grades of all three courses are below A, it will be repeated or even expelled.
[Note: A (), represents a passing grade. 】
However, for Matthew Wakefield, there is a high probability that he will not have any worries in this regard.
It was Miss Hermione Granger who read the book day and night when the final exam was approaching, as if holding her breath.
……
Because the weather was too stuffy, they also had a hard time in the large classroom where they answered questions.
After finishing the Charms class, Miss Granger burst into tears. She said that she rested too late last night, and she was in a very bad state of mind when answering the questions today, and she answered many questions that she had clearly reviewed wrong. Several Ravenclaw girls hurried over to comfort her.
And in the practical test afterwards, Matthew performed perfectly.
He easily transformed a small white mouse that Professor Sinistra had handed him into a snuff box with extremely exquisite patterns. Professor Sinista, who has always been strict, couldn't help giving him approving glances.
And during the Potions test, Professor Slughorn couldn't help but applaud when he saw the Forgetting Potion that Matthew prepared.
The last exam was History of Magic, and as they filled in the birth and death dates of Merlin and Morgana, as well as the inventors of Bone Spirit and Refreshing Potion... this also meant that the whole The school year is coming to an end.
Many students cheered when Professor Bagshot ordered them to put down their quills and the parchment of their answer sheets.
……
And on the last day of the semester, at the year-end banquet before leaving school, Matthew saw Principal Grindelwald again.
His appearance is still so grand.
Principal Grindelwald delivered a short speech:
He hoped that the graduates of the seventh grade would still be able to work hard after leaving Hogwarts; at the same time, he also hoped that the students of other grades would have a happy summer vacation, but he also tried not to forget everything in their minds .
Then, as Professor Grindelwald sat down, they began to enjoy the last dinner of this semester.
……
That night, the results of the final exam were announced.
Matthew's grades in all courses are O (Outstanding, excellent).
In addition, he also won the first place in the whole grade, which surprised him a bit. After all, before the final exam, he didn't deliberately review it.
So he always felt that Hermione Granger's score should be higher than his. However, it may be because Hermione used too much force, which caused her to perform abnormally many times in the final exam...
Malfoy and Nott's grades are also quite good, at least most of the course grades are E (, exceeding expectations), and the report card is not ugly.
As for Crabbe and Gore, it's a little bit worse. Crabbe got a P (Poor, failed) in Potions; Goyle also got a P in History of Magic, and a D (Dreadful, terrible) in Transfiguration, the lowest in the year.
Fortunately, none of them should need to repeat a grade or be expelled.
……
The next day, Hogsmeade station.
The bright red Hogwarts Express stopped on the track again; at the same time, the steam locomotive's unique cheerful whistle sounded.
The suitcases and pets of the students had already been sent to the train by the house elves the night before.
Professor Kettleburn boarded the train with the first-year students. Then, they sat on the express train, chatting and laughing all the way.
Watching the rural scenery outside the window become more green and tidy; listening to the meaningful and long sound of the wheels rolling on the track; accompanying the train as it passed through one Muggle town after another.
They ate chocolate frogs and Bibi multi-flavored beans, and chatted happily with their longing for summer vacation.
Finally, the train stopped at Platform 9 at King's Cross Station.
"See you next semester!" Matthew bid farewell to Malfoy, Nott, Crabbe and Goyle.
After getting off the train, he found Neville and Hermione waiting for him.
Among them, Hermione was with Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, Parvati and Padma Patil sisters.
"Matthew, are you really going to stay in Diagon Alley for a summer vacation?" Neville said a little puzzled: "Actually, you can go to my house, my parents will definitely welcome you!"
……
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is completely closed during the summer vacation.
Therefore, no student is allowed to stay in school during this time.
As for the “homeless” Muggle students, they have the following options for their summer vacation——
The first ~IndoMTL.com~ is to go to a friend's house, namely a wizarding family, and stay there for a summer.
For example, Ravenclaw's Hermione Granger, she is going to her friend Padma Patil's house.
Neville Longbottom was naturally happy to take Matthew to his house, and at the same time Draco Malfoy also extended an invitation to Matthew...but Matthew turned them all down in the end.
The second option is to stay in Hogsmeade. The owners of many shops in Hogsmeade are very happy to take in the Muggle students from Hogwarts, and at the same time let them serve as shopkeepers in the summer vacation. "Temporary workers".
Justin Fletcher of Hufflepuff, for example, was so popular with the Rosmertas at the Two Broomsticks that he stayed at Two Broomsticks for the summer.
For some reasons, Matthew did not make this choice.
And the choice he made was the third one:
Go to Diagon Alley in London during the summer vacation and stay there for a summer vacation.
……
Matthew raised his head, looked at Neville, and said with a smile, "Yes, I have already made up my mind; see you in Diagon Alley after a while!"
"Okay, goodbye!" Neville could only nod his head.
"Goodbye, Matthew!" Hermione also waved to Matthew.
After saying goodbye to his friends for the last time, Matthew Wakefield strode into the huge fireplace room by the station.
Emerald green flames are burning all around.
