Chapter 124 Exam (Chapter 2)
Unfortunately, the joy of winning the Quidditch match did not last long.
Soon, they were overwhelmed by the heavy exams.
Hermione had been on tenterhooks since mid-May.
Until June.
As the exam week gradually approached, she was completely stunned.
Although she has devoted herself to studying as much as possible.
But, I don't know why.
The increasing knowledge did not relieve Hermione's nervousness, but made her even more confused.
"What is the werewolf code of conduct in [-]?" Hermione, who was immersed in reading in the library area of the lounge, suddenly raised her head and asked Anthony beside her.
"Forehead..."
"Wait! Don't tell me, give me some time, I'll remember it right away."
"Um, Hermione." Anthony raised his head hesitantly. He glanced at Hermione who was squinting her eyes and thinking hard, and couldn't help but said: "I..."
"I remembered that it was a series of rules formulated by the British Ministry of Magic in 1637 that listed the responsibilities of werewolves, such as locking yourself up every month at the full moon to avoid harming others..."
Suddenly, Hermione yelled, and then immediately leaned down again and wandered in the book.
He didn't say a word during the whole process, and only murmured once in a while when he stopped.
"Forehead..."
Looking at Hermione who was already pushing herself into a desperate situation, Anthony shook his head and said softly: "Actually, what I want to say is, I don't know..."
However, after seeing that she had returned to her most familiar look, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief.
It took three full months before she seemed to have stepped out of the shadow of the Philosopher's Stone.
And Harry and Ron.
After a while, he turned his attention to the other two people, watching them scratching their heads and scratching their heads, looking at their irritated faces and scratching their heads, looking at the way they were depressed but unable to leave.
A sense of peace that he had never felt before overflowed in Anthony's heart.
He didn't know how much impact everything in the room below had on the three 11-year-old wizards, but Anthony, who had an adult soul, understood one thing from that day.
In the past, he always forgot that there was a layer of cold pages between Hogwarts and himself...
Now, he always forgets that the fate of Hogwarts and himself is intertwined.
For three months, Anthony didn't even say a word of comfort to the three of them.
He always played the victim, silent and silent.
Because Anthony knew that the Savior was constantly losing throughout his life.
When he received the acceptance letter to Hogwarts, when he first met Harry, when he first set foot in this castle.
That is, he was full of confidence that the regrets in the story would never happen in his world.
but now--
"Anthony, can the Inferi talk?" Suddenly, Harry's voice came from the side.
"No." Anthony replied.
The savior must get used to separation - because even he from another world cannot see what will happen in the future.
----
It's not like there haven't been happy things happening these days.
Still, the Weasley twins, the troublemakers of Hogwarts, are still reassuring in their methods of creating happiness.
They didn't know they got a batch of fire ash snake eggs from there.
This is one of the most common ingredients used in making love potions.
Gemini, who had been dormant for several months, became active again.They can be found throughout Hogwarts Castle.
Of course, their campus business is picking up again, and Anthony is waiting for the dividends.
This was one of the few things he was happy about this month.
But it is a pity that after every accident of Ron (bushi), Shilok's glorious deeds in the past few months were revealed.
Not surprisingly, the Gemini's love potion business was stopped by Professor McGonagall.
All raw materials and finished products were confiscated, and the two guys were ordered to look after the poor magical animals in Hagrid's Hunting Annex.
After hearing this kind of penalty, Anthony immediately thought that Professor McGonagall was definitely given a light punishment.Because according to the professor's previous penalty standards, parents must be informed of this matter.
It looks like the dividends from a Quidditch victory haven't worn off just yet.
As an old Quidditch fan, the professor still showed his respect for once.
However, this incident turned out to be one of the few happy things that happened in Gryffindor.
Everyone laughed and looked at the twins who were severely criticized by Professor McGonagall from a distance, and then watched them reluctantly walking across the mountains towards the hunting lodge.
That day, all the 'regular customers' in the entire castle gathered in front of the entrance hall to 'send off' George and Fred as they left the castle.
Of course, their purpose was definitely not to comfort either of them.
They just want to know, is the 'goods' still for sale?
"Buy! Of course! Next semester, we will develop our Weasley joke industry in school and make it bigger and stronger!"
They said this before leaving.
However, what they got in exchange was the angry faces of Zuo Niao Beast San and Professor McGonagall.
----
In this way, with joy mixed with boredom, the exam week finally arrived as scheduled.
Anthony will never forget the first magic test he took.
In the written test, he and Harry were on the same page. After hurriedly writing down the answers, they left the classroom as if they were running away.
For the practical part, either Professor Flitwick asked them to tap dance a pineapple across a desk.Was it Professor McGonagall who asked them to turn a mouse into a snuff box, or Professor Snape who asked them to mix an amnesia potion.
He was very confident and easily completed the professors' requirements.
The last one is the History of Magic exam, which lasts for one hour.
A weird test question.
A page of jumbled answers.
This was Anthony's last impression of the exam.
When Professor Binns asked them to put down their quills and roll up the parchment for answering questions, many little wizards couldn't help but cheer.They are free.
You can have fun playing it for a whole week.
"Huh! The exam content is simpler than I thought." Outside the castle, the sun was shining brightly, and the four little ones followed the crowd and walked towards the lake with relaxed steps.
"Hey! Can you please don't say this in front of us?" Ron immediately protested sharply: "I don't want to hear anything about the exam for the next week."
They walked slowly down the slope to the lake and plopped down under the tree.
Ron glanced at the big squid basking in the sun in the lake, stretched his limbs, and exhaled happily: "How great, I don't have to review anymore."
"Be happy, Harry, we won't know how badly we did in a week's time, there's no need to worry about it now."
"And our practical parts are pretty good, aren't we?"
------
The mountain road is rugged, but it has an end.
After a while, several people arrived at the gate of the castle.
After parting ways with the professors, Anthony, Hermione, and Harry returned to the Gryffindor common room.
When everyone sat in the armchairs near the fireplace, Anthony felt a sense of security.
"You can talk now!" Hermione urged while holding her cat.
"Um--"
He hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, collected his emotions a little, and then said bluntly: "I don't understand why Dumbledore would recruit a murderer to Hogwarts."
"What? Murderer?" Hearing this, the friends around him were shocked. They looked at Anthony in surprise.
"Are you kidding? What kind of adjective is this, right?" Harry said intermittently, unable to believe what he said.
"No, this is not an adjective. Harry, Aurora Holmes, when she was eight or nine years old, she killed a little boy one year older than her. Of course, not directly."
Anthony narrated: "The police know about this, but no one can find the child's body."
"That guy is extremely dangerous. Technically speaking, she doesn't care about anyone except his brother, and of course she can get rid of anyone."
"I never thought she could be a wizard."
"Yes, that's right. That kind of method of teasing people's humanity is not normal no matter how you look at it. Looking back now, it's really strange." Gradually, Anthony started talking to himself. He ignored the few friends around him and was minding his own business. He continued: "It would be normal if she was a wizard. I guess she should be a natural Legilimency. Oh! Hoho! It's twice as dangerous."
"Look, he is simply the second generation Dark Lord in the future." (ps: Grindelwald is not the Dark Lord.)
Anthony spat out all the words in his heart in one breath.
Sitting in the armchair, he frowned.My heart was filled with worry.
Because he has realized that mastering Occlumency is an urgent matter.
There are countless secrets in his little head, and any leakage will cause serious deviations in the world.
Before, he had not felt that the crisis was imminent.After all, this is only the first grade.
But now...
Even monsters like Orosi have appeared. If more dangerous existences appear in the future, he really won't be surprised at all.
After hearing Anthony's story, the entire common room fell into dead silence.
The little wizards looked at Anthony in surprise, unable to say a word.
Only the heartless Sirocco was still licking its paws as if nothing had happened.
However, this can be regarded as a distant concern rather than a short-term concern.
Dumbledore also said that she would not enter school until September.
The principal probably brought her back because he sympathized with her.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Orosi did not appear in the castle.
The little wizards still spent their wonderful February smoothly.
It was exciting because weeks of Quidditch matches ignited their passion.
The Philosopher's Stone incident seems to be drifting away from Hogwarts.
Time flies, and it’s May and early summer.
In the past month, the wizarding world has experienced several major earthquakes, and now the Minister of Magic Fudge has stepped down.Then came the policy changes across the Ministry of Magic.
As expected, the new minister fell on Barty Crouch.
Last time, because his son was a Death Eater, the minister's position was taken away from him and fell on Fudge for no reason.
Times have changed, and now there is a two-level reversal, and the hat has fallen back on his head.
It can be said that Barty Crouch was lucky, because he had almost no plans to compete for the minister, and the seat belonged to him smoothly.
After the new Minister of Magic came to power.
A new Muggle relationship immediately began.
As a student, Anthony certainly didn't know the specific policy, but he vaguely felt Dumbledore's influence in it.
He didn't know how the old principal convinced those die-hards in the ministry.
But the fact is that relations between wizards and Muggles have softened.
Likewise, major events occur not only in the wizarding world, but also in the British government.
The United Nations Forces, formed by the United States, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom, announced that they would take over the corrupt regime in Libya and sent peacekeeping troops to suppress local "terrorists."
Anthony can also understand the other three countries.
Russia was actually involved, which he never expected.
But no matter what agreement was reached between the two parties, a certain foul-mouthed star has shut his mouth forever.
The whole of Britain went into a frenzy.
Some see this as the resurgence of the British Empire.
But more than that, it's a flashback.
Also involved in the carnival was the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
In May, the Hogwarts Quidditch final started between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Before this, Gryffindor was one point ahead of Slytherin. If the Snake House wanted to win, they had only one possibility, and that was to win most of this game.
It must be a big score, and the gap between the two sides is more than [-] points.
Because Harry's 2-minute end to the game last time directly extended the score between Gryffindor and No. 2 by 160 points. Together with the previous record, they were ahead of No. 2300 by more than [-] points and a game.
It can be said that Harry and the others have almost locked in the championship.
This is the first time in five years since Charlie graduated that Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup again.
On the day of the match, the cheers on the court were deafening, and they didn't stop from Mrs. Hooch's whistle until Harry caught the Golden Snitch.
When Jordan shouted in the stands: "We won, Gryffindor won."
Not only the players, but also Professor McGonagall, who has always been steady, shed tears of excitement.
Except for Anthony, everyone else on the court rushed to the court like crazy.
Indeed, Anthony was not that excited.
That's because he had already expected that Gryffindor would win.
In the original book, Gryffindor has been on a winning streak since Harry joined the team.
The only game they lost was because of the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry lay in bed for several weeks after being attacked.
Gryffindor, who lacked a seeker, naturally lost to Slytherin, and lost miserably.
Knowing that the Gryffindor team was short of players, the Slytherin team deliberately did not end the game until the score reached an exaggerated number, then they caught the Golden Snitch and ended the game together.
But it was different now. With Harry present, the Slytherins had no chance at all.
They won the game cleanly.
