Chapter 1106 The Ultimate Wizard Exam (2)
Everyone wants Umbridge to be in bad luck?
Maybe.
But more importantly, they actually like to watch the excitement. After the excitement is over, everyone is indifferent to Umbridge's life and death.
Now, most students are focused on the final exams, especially the fifth and seventh grade students, and do not care or have the heart to care about Umbridge.
The trial of the toad, which should have attracted much attention, was thus ignored by everyone.
After all, what does it matter to them whether Umbridge is imprisoned in Azkaban or not?
Harry Potter is probably the only one in the entire Hogwarts school who cares about Umbridge, and the O.W.L. exam also distracts most of Harry's energy.
Recently, Albert often hears seventh-grade students complaining that the practical exam is too difficult. In the curse exam, many students have been found to have points deducted by the examiner for chanting curses in a low voice.
However, the spell practical exam is not the most difficult. The transformation practical test on the second day of the Ultimate Wizard Exam shocked most of the candidates.
Students were required to perform human body transformation: using transformation magic to change their appearance, that is, using magic to disguise themselves. This seems simple, but in fact it is difficult for many people. The various weird appearances made the examiners shake their heads.
In addition, candidates also need to transform a table into a pig or other creature. 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 transformation spell to change an entire paragraph of text on the parchment according to the examiner's request, so that the contents on other parchments would also change.
Albert, not surprisingly, easily achieved excellence again. When he was waiting for others outside the corridor, he saw faces that made people laugh.
Some people dyed their hair in an attempt to disguise themselves; some turned themselves into protruding eyes, big mouths, and high nose bridges; some had faces swollen as if they had been stung by bees. In the end, these unlucky ones who failed in plastic surgery had to go to the school hospital. Seek help from Madam Pomfrey in order to get yourself back on your feet.
“What are you going to turn yourself into?”
Albert looked Lee Jordan up and down, smiled and joked, he raised his wand to help Lee Jordan return his eyebrows and hair to normal.
“I don’t know, my mind went blank during the exam.” Li Jordan sighed deeply. He felt that he might not get the highest N. E. W． Ts deformed certificate.
“So, you dye your eyebrows and hair and try to get away with it?”
“It’s totally screwed up anyway.”
“If you plan to open a store in the future, it doesn’t matter whether you screw up or not. Anyway, even if you get the N.E.W.Ts certificate, you won’t need it.” Albert comforted.
"That's true, but...it's always quite depressing." Li Jordan sighed softly, "Those who get excellent exams every time cannot understand our mood."
“How did you do on the exam?” Albert asked Shanna with a smile.
“It will definitely be no problem if you do well in the exam.”
“Where’s Angelina?”
“The pig that the table turned into seems not... too active.”
“Maybe it’s too fat. Albert’s fat cat likes to lie down all day.” Lee Jordan comforted him.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter what your grades are anyway, I can finally take a breath tomorrow.” Angelina plans to join the Quidditch club after graduation, and there is no requirement for a certificate.
"What if you fail to join the Quidditch club?" Aria looked at her friend and reminded, "Getting good grades can always leave an extra path for yourself."
"You should have confidence in me. Even Albert thinks I can join the Quidditch Club." Angelina glared at Aaliya dissatisfied. Although she knew that the other party had good intentions, she couldn't help but be angry.
"Angelina still has an advantage in this aspect. She is a good player and has also served as the Quidditch captain." Lee Jordan comforted, "Every year, the number of students who graduate is willing to join the Quidditch club is even higher. Not much, even if you really screw up, you can go to the store to help, Fred and George will definitely welcome you to help."
“They really opened a store?” Shanna asked curiously.
"It's still under renovation." Albert said with a smile, "But it should be open for business soon."
“The rent for a store in Diagon Alley should be very expensive, right?”
“Ever since the news of the mysterious man’s resurrection spread, the business in Diagon Alley has deteriorated. Many shops have closed down, and shop prices are much cheaper. Oh, by the way, Mr. Ollivander seems to have disappeared.”
Thanks to the disappearance of Ollivander and Fusco, which caused panic in Diagon Alley, the stubborn original store owner finally compromised and was willing to sell the store at a lower price. This incident was mainly related to the last time. The Wizarding War lasted for a long time.
"Ollivander? Is that the one who made the wand?" Zannah looked surprised.
"Yes, that's him." Albert nodded and said, "The store was empty, and there were no signs of a struggle. No one knows whether he left on his own or was kidnapped."
“What should I do with the new students’ wands next semester?”
"The Ministry of Magic can only find another wand manufacturer." Albert shrugged: "However, it may not be easy for them to find a wand with a good reputation."
Albert didn’t know whether Ollivander escaped on his own or was captured by the Death Eaters. Anyway, the wand maker was indeed missing.
As for Florin Fusco, the guy ran away early. Albert knew this. Before Fusco left England, he wrote a letter to Albert to express his gratitude.
“It’s really unlucky. It’s the worst of times. 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 also introduce jobs to others?” Everyone looked at Albert in surprise.
“This is the benefit of knowing more people, but I’m not sure if you like those jobs.” Albert shrugged and reminded, “It’s not easy to find a satisfying job.”
The content of the herbal medicine practical test on the third day of the Ultimate Wizard Exam is: how to regulate the harvesting of poisonous tentacle fangs and leaves.
For this reason, Madam Pomfrey complained about this matter.
Because a lot of wizards have been poisoned by poisonous tentacles.
Since the poisonous tentacle itself is an extremely dangerous plant, Madam Pomfrey had to wait nearby to prevent students from being bitten by the poisonous tentacle during the exam.
Albert easily picked the fangs and leaves because he used a spell to directly fix the poisonous tentacles and completed the test quickly.
Although it is not the same as the so-called norms, Albert's method is obviously safer and can complete the harvest quickly, so Professor Marchban and Professor Tofodi still gave it excellent, because the use of magic assistance is allowed during the harvest. , although points will be deducted if caught by the poisonous tentacles.
After the exam, Albert was left to help by Madam Pomfrey. The head nurse kept complaining about this to Professor Pomona Sprout, who had a look of helplessness on her face.
In fact, as long as you are well prepared for protection, poisonous tentacles are not as dangerous as you think. Most of the wizards who were poisoned by poisonous tentacles did not wear dragon skin gloves, were accidentally bitten and poisoned, and did not receive first aid at the first time.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is on Thursday. Perhaps because of Umbridge, the exam content is easier than expected.
The students were required to use a silent spell to uncurse the rabbit, and then they were required to master the use of defensive spells (Iron Armor Curse) to successfully resist the evil spell. Finally, they were asked to show the examiner the spell to expel the female ghost.
When Albert was completing the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical exam, Professor Tofodi suddenly said: "I remember you once published a method to deal with werewolves."
"I didn't invent the humanoid restoration spell." Albert shook his head. "I just restored the spell."
“Oh, you are still so humble, but that is something quite remarkable.” Professor Tofodi asked curiously, “Can you show it to us?”
“I guess it’s difficult, after all there are no werewolves here.”
"Oh, that's a pity. I heard that it is quite difficult to restore the human form spell." Professor Tofti was a little disappointed.
“Okay Tofty, there are still many students taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.” Professor Marchban gave Albert an excellent signal and signaled that he could leave.
The content of Friday’s ancient magic text exam directly stumped other students, because they needed to translate an article without any auxiliary tools.
For the vast majority of students, this is undoubtedly a disaster. Most students have only a partial understanding of ancient magic texts. Perhaps they can use the "Rune Dictionary", "Magic Symbol Collection" and "Magic Phonetic Chart" to read 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, this couldn’t help Albert. It only took him ten minutes to complete the translation of the ancient magic text and leave.
“Except for Albert, no one can complete the translation without auxiliary tools. We are not experts in this field. Do they expect us to be able to see all the ancient magic patterns at a glance?”
Sanna often complained about the content of the ancient magic text exam. The lack of auxiliary tools made other candidates confused, which severely damaged everyone's confidence.
There is no way, it usually takes a long time to translate articles, let alone the exam.
Hence, there are very few wizards who are really good at ancient magic texts, and there are not many jobs that require proficiency in ancient magic texts.
“You are very good at it yourself.” Li Jordan raised his eyebrows and said, “I remember you also published a book about ancient magic texts.”
“That’s because of necessity.”
"need?"
“Because some ancient documents are recorded in ancient magic script, if you want to fully understand them, you need to be proficient in them. There are also some ancient spells that require the use of ancient magic scripts. If you want to master them, you must know ancient magic scripts.”
“The reason why you master the ancient magic script is really...”
No one knows what to say.
“Dumbledore is also an expert in ancient runes.”
"What about arithmetic?" Zannah asked curiously, "Don't tell me, because you are better at mathematics."
“In terms of arithmetic divination, I actually prefer probability science.” Albert said, “For example, what is the approximate probability of something happening to predict whether it will happen.”
“So, you can always say a lot of things right?” Lee Jordan asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, that's probably the case." Albert admitted directly, "So, many times, I actually guessed it right."
Everyone was shocked by the truth.
Is your guess okay?
"For things like divination, except for the premonitions that you may have, you have to stare at the crystal ball by yourself. I don't have that much time."
“So, when you told Harry last time, you were guessing that Umbridge was definitely dead?” Li Jordan asked with a complicated expression.
"It's actually normal for Umbridge to be finished, because Harry interfered strongly in this matter, which led to her being abandoned by the Ministry of Magic." Albert said matter-of-factly, "If she was abandoned, she would be finished. The Ministry of Magic must Let me give everyone an explanation, and Umbridge is the unlucky one, and can also appease the savior's emotions."
"If Harry hadn't been interviewed, wouldn't the Ministry of Magic have given up on Umbridge?" Angelina asked with wide eyes.
"Probably not. The Ministry of Magic will probably pretend to suspend Umbridge and investigate. After the limelight of this matter passes, Umbridge will still continue to work in the Ministry of Magic." Albert explained , "But Harry stood up and made the matter so big that the Ministry of Magic could no longer cover it up and had to give an explanation to the crowd, so Umbridge had to be given up."
“That’s disgusting, no wonder you don’t want to work at the Ministry of Magic.”
"Anderson, Dumbledore asked you to go to the principal's office before eight o'clock tomorrow morning." The almost headless Nick floated over and said to Albert.
"What's up?"
"It seems that the Umbridge case is about to go to trial, and you need to attend this trial as an alternate for the Wizengamot." Nick explained, "Remember to change into your clothes."
“That’s really good news,” muttered Lee Jordan.
"I still have to find Potter, he seems to have been asked to appear as a witness." Nick turned and drifted away to inform Harry about this.
"It seems that Umbridge is really finished." Angelina said with emotion, "Maybe, she will really be locked up in Azkaban for the rest of her life."
"It's very difficult. This time I will 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 puzzledly.
“Yes, but not this time.”
“Is there a next time?”
"I think after the mysterious man takes control of the situation, he will definitely release the prisoners of Azkaban and make them his minions." Albert whispered his speculation, "Umbridge knows the Ministry of Magic and is also the deputy minister. , he is bad to the core, and he also 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 will have to spend the rest of his life there?” Lee Jordan understood what Albert meant.
