Chapter 78 Final Exam
Although he got a very magical cooking recipe, Ted didn't have time to go to the kitchen to try it himself, because the final exam is already in progress this week.
Ted came to the usual classroom with his pen and parchment. Behind him were Hermione who was high-spirited and ready to fight, Harry who was looking left and right to have some fun, and Ron, Jerry and Nanny who were anxious. prestige.
Ron and Jerry belong to the usual fishing, hiding and copying when they can, and muddling along.
Although they have already surpassed the level of most young wizards in the practice of magic spells, their theoretical level may still be below the middle level, and they are partial academic scum~
As for Neville, although he usually worked hard and tried his best to do homework by himself, the results were minimal. Although Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts are not bad, other subjects are not sure.
Since he read "Braveheart" written by Ted, he has gained a lot. He already has a certain amount of courage and can overcome many difficulties. But learning this thing, you will know it, and self-confidence cannot be built in a day or two.
In the examination room, seeing the air stagnate, the students' breathing slowed down involuntarily.
The first exam is the Transfiguration class of Professor McGonagall, who is famous for his unsmiling words.
"Ding ~ trigger task:
【Final Exam (Blue)】
This is your first final exam at Hogwarts, and it is an appraisal of your learning achievements throughout the school year. Go all out! Don't let go of your youth!
Goal: To achieve excellent grades in all subjects.
Reward: 350 experience, random cards.
You are now recognized as the number one in your grade, if your grades are poor, it will be ugly~”
Ted smiled secretly, I knew, how could this kind of thing not happen in the system?
System: Late but arrived~
Ted: It’s just excellent in all subjects, is it difficult?
Transformation class exam is divided into two parts, the first part is a written test, which can explain the basic principles and taboos of transfiguration, as well as your own experience.
Ted wrote two parchments. Hermione even wrote three parchments.
Ron watched the two people in front of him writing hard and fast, and when he saw that he tried his best to write the letters as big as possible, but still couldn't make up a piece of paper, his heart began to sink.
After half an hour, Professor McGonagall asked everyone to put down their pens, and the next step was practice.
The title is very simple, turn a mouse into a snuffbox.
That’s right, first-year students learn only two things throughout the year, first: turning objects into objects, and second: turning creatures into objects.
However, after studying for a year, not everyone can transform successfully.
Turn matches into needles, now basically all students can do it.
But turning a mouse into a snuffbox is far too difficult.
When Ted first came into contact with it, he found it difficult to get started. You have to dedicate a lot of time every day to training, looking for tips and tricks.
And the exam process is not very satisfactory. You can tell by Professor McGonagall's face, it's gloomy like the sky before a storm.
The snuff bottle transformed by Ron has a beard, the snuff bottle transformed by Neville has a tail, and the snuff bottle transformed by Jerry is the most distinctive—it has four legs and has already taken the opportunity to run away. Jerry lay on the ground trying to grab it.
Mr. Seamus once again demonstrated his excellent "artistic" talent. The mouse flew to the ceiling with smoke, and it was already half-cooked.
Jerry couldn't help shrinking his neck: Shushu, I feel the same way~
The difficulty of transfiguration gave most of the students a headache, and there were only six students who were able to complete all the changes in the end.
Only Ted and Hermione made it more perfect—not only completely deformed, but also very beautiful. The snuffbox has gold line patterns or embossed decorations, like exquisite works of art.
Professor McGonagall, who had been troubled by his stupid student, finally smiled when he saw the work of the two.
It is the kind of farmer who has worked hard for a year and looks at the golden yellow wheat waves with a gratifying smile, which proves that his hard work for a year is worthwhile.
"Very good! Very good! Well done!" Professor McGonagall uncharacteristically praised three consecutive sentences.
The transfiguration class exam was like a blow to the head, directly knocking the freshmen unconscious. The atmosphere at lunch time was much duller.
And those seniors in grades two, three and four had gloating expressions on their faces. This may be their happiest day of the year!
The exam in the morning was already so difficult, but the exam in the afternoon was even more frustrating.
Because the exam in the afternoon was Snape's Potions class!
The test location is naturally still in the basement. Snape is already an underground worker after all, maybe he is not used to being on the ground?
Snape stood behind the podium in the classroom, like an immobile black statue. The light from the brazier on the wall shone on half of his face, making him look like a serial killer.
That gloomy old face, just need to be expressionless, is enough to shock any student.
He folded his arms over his chest and held a magic wand in his hand, as if he would strike and kill the cheating student at any time.
When the students entered the classroom, they felt as if they were cursed the moment they crossed the threshold. Their hearts were so heavy that they couldn’t think of any happy things.
Snape is simply a humanoid dementor.
"Da da da ~" Seeing that everyone was seated, he didn't speak, but stretched out his wand and tapped the blackboard lightly, and the exam question appeared on the blackboard: configure the forgetting potion, and the time is 60 minutes.
The moment Neville saw the title, his heart skipped a beat, because the Potion of Oblivion was almost the most advanced potion they had learned all year.
From the processing of medicinal materials to the injection of magic power, there are many taboos in every step. If one step is wrong, a pot of potion will be completely scrapped, and there is no such thing as a defective product.
Snape is messing with them to death!
But at the same time, the friends breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on the corner of their mouths.
This smile is because Ted predicted Snape's operation and gave them the amnesia potion, which is not a bet!
The psychological pressure was reduced by more than half.
Who is Snape? He is the double-faced ace spy who killed the bosses of both good and evil.
What's more, he has been secretly observing Harley's performance, so he keenly noticed that when Harry saw the test questions, there was even a slight smile!
Snape: Did Harry inherit Lily's talent for potions? Although the performance is OK, but not stable enough...
The preparation of the amnesia potion is still very cumbersome, just the first distilled purified water is enough to be busy for a while.
60 minutes is basically the most lenient time for normal equipment—that is, as long as you make a mistake, there is basically no chance to start over.
First use distilled water, and at the same time use a sterling silver knife to cut the valerian into sections, and the length should be between three centimeters and four centimeters.
Add treated valerian to distilled water, heat for 20 seconds, stir clockwise for 3 circles, then drop in 2 parts of mistletoe berries, crush and filter the juice, stir counterclockwise for 5 circles, boil for five minutes, then wave the wand to inject magic power, Continue to boil for five minutes, repeat three times, and finally wait for cooling...
If everything is proficient and there is no problem, you can get the potion in about 45 minutes. If you are clumsy but there is no problem, 60 minutes is enough.
But if you make a mistake, don't expect a second chance to do it all over again.
Snape wouldn't let the idiot waste his medicine!
Ted and Hermione finished the potion in about 40 minutes, and it looked pretty good.
Hermione was even two minutes faster than Ted.
When it comes to potions, Hermione's talent is even more obvious.
However, Snape just looked at it, and ignored it with a soft snort. Instead, he continued to move around among the students, putting pressure on those students whose psychological quality was not good enough, and at the same time paying attention to Harley's operations.
What makes him regret is that Neville is much more stable now. Even if he stands behind him for a minute, he will pretend that he does not exist. He is very devoted to brewing the potion. Although his forehead is sweating, he has not made any mistakes so far. .
After the potion test was over, when everyone walked out of the basement, it seemed as if they had been released from Azkaban.
"Snape looks like he's sticking his hooked nose into Harry's cauldron!" Ron complained.
"He also said that the potion I boiled tasted so strong that only trolls could drink it!" Jerry was indignant.
This is the reason why the mistletoe berries are not ground finely enough and the filter is not careful enough. Fortunately, the medicine is still working, so Jerry can still get a passing grade.
