Chapter 767 The Moving Package
As Easter approaches, the academic pressure of Hogwarts students becomes more and more intense. Professors will always remind them in class that the final exam is getting closer.
To make matters worse, professors seemed not to believe that their students would study hard for final exams and gave them a lot of homework before the Easter break.
Most students are so busy just dealing with the Easter holiday homework that they simply cannot spare any extra time to review the content for the final exam.
Most fifth graders can feel the approaching o. w． Due to the pressure brought by the LS exam, I have been going to the library more frequently recently than before, and I often have to go to the library in advance to reserve a seat right after class.
o． w． The pressure brought by the LS exam has caused many students who are about to take the exam to have some minor problems.
While everyone was doing their homework seriously in the library, Hufflepuff Patricia Stinson suddenly fainted, causing a commotion.
"To be honest, I also want to faint." Fred looked at Patricia Stinson who was sent to the school hospital with envy, and whispered to George next to him: "How about we use that thing , forget about pretending to faint?"
George disliked Fred's bad idea and said angrily: "Don't be stupid, you will never escape your holiday homework, unless you want to be locked up right after Easter vacation."
"I was just talking casually." Fred sighed as he looked at the paper he had just started writing in front of him. He turned his head to look at Lee Jordan who had just sat down and said jokingly: "Don't you have diarrhea? Why did you go there for so long?"
"I met Kenneth on the way. That guy now sells Dragon Claw powder instead of Baffy's Awakening Potion." Lee Jordan told the Weasley twins about meeting Kenneth on the road who was conducting black market transactions. .
“Dragon Claw Powder, is that stuff really reliable?” George said jokingly: “Don’t tell me, Kenneth cut off his own nails, ground them into powder and sold them to others?”
“He doesn’t have many nails to cut and grind.”
“How about finding a few more?” Fred didn’t have any expectations for Kenneth’s character. The guy might have mixed other things into the dragon claw powder.
"I just tried some, and it's really effective. Many seventh-grade students came to him to buy dragon claw powder." Li Jordan actually wanted to get some from Kenneth. After taking a small amount of dragon claw powder, he felt I am in high spirits and my brain is working particularly well.
"Forget it. It's easy to get caught for using Dragon Claw powder in the exam, and you might have to repeat the grade. I would rather get a bad grade in the O.W.Ls exam than be repeated in the school." Fred dropped the article Thesis, start copying holiday homework.
“It doesn’t have to be used to cheat on exams.” Lee Jordan muttered.
“Do you dare to believe this?” George secretly stuffed a candy into his mouth and reminded vaguely, “The price of dragon claw powder is not cheap?”
"I remember Albert bought it last time. It seemed to be ten galleons a pint. It must be more expensive on the black market." Fred added.
Lee Jordan never mentioned it again.
Yes, the price of dragon claw powder is not cheap, and he doesn’t have enough galleons in his pocket to buy it.
"If you want, you can go to Albert. I remember last time he said he planned to get some candies that would make people smarter after eating them." Fred recalled.
"Don't be stupid, the intelligence-enhancing candy is still lying on the parchment." George said without raising his head, "However, I think Albert should have extra intelligence-enhancing agent. You can ask him to get some." bottle."
“What is intelligence-enhancing candy?” Ron, who was sitting next to them, interrupted and asked.
“A candy that can make people smarter for a short time.” George explained.
"There are good things like this." Harry felt that he might need one too, because he was tired of the pile of holiday homework in front of him.
“Still in development, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a few more years if you want it, most of Albert’s magical candy series are still on parchment waiting to be developed.”
Of course, George would not tell them that the candy was actually a candy that Albert planned to develop to earn money from pure-blood wizards. It was a particularly expensive kind.
"If you have time to chat over there, come and check the information for me. The paper Snape wants is just shy of the last bit." Angelina was made a little impatient by the whispers of several people.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all looked at each other, embarrassed to say that they actually planned to borrow Albert's paper.
After all, Albert still has to write a potion essay. In Snape's words: Even if you win the potion championship, don't think I will exempt you from the potion essay.
"I'm more curious, why didn't the professors tell us the key points?" George stiffly changed the subject.
"I think if all professors could tell us the key points of the exam like Albert did, and then review hard for two months, everyone would definitely be able to pass the O.W.Ls exam with excellent results."
"They will do that, but they have to wait until the end of May." Shanna put down her quill, blew on the potions paper in her hand, and said to everyone: "I once asked the current sixth-grade students, and they said that the professors would All classes will be stopped until closer to June, allowing us to spend all our time reviewing.”
“It will be too late to wait until June.” George felt that the professors were not very reliable.
“So, don’t expect to study hard again when the time comes.” Shanna said, “At that time, the professors will actually check and fill in the gaps for everyone to avoid missing some test points during the review.”
“Did you say when the next party will start?” Angelina asked Shanna: “By the way, where is Albert, why didn’t you see him?”
"I don't know, he's been missing a lot lately." George said softly, "Maybe he went on a date. His girlfriend is about to graduate from school."
“Their relationship has always been stable.” Shanna envied their relationship.
"Yeah, it's very stable. I heard that they even went abroad for vacation together. Maybe in a few years, you will receive their wedding invitation." Fred joked.
He found that the surroundings suddenly fell into dead silence.
“Oh, there’s something I almost forgot to ask.” Aaliya changed the subject. “Why did the secret room I went to last time disappear? There was a secret passage behind the portrait.”
“What are you doing there?” Lee Jordan asked.
“Go over there to review your homework. Haven’t you noticed that the library has become more and more crowded recently?”
“That secret room will only appear when we have a party.” George said mysteriously, “Besides, it’s best not to let other unrelated people know the existence of there. You don’t want to be disturbed during the party!”
"Only appears at a specific time?" Aaliya obviously didn't believe this nonsense.
"There are still many unknown secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle waiting to be discovered." George handed Fred the paper about the Herbology class and muttered, "I really hope Albert can spend some time on his holiday homework so that we can It will be easier.”
“He only said that you have to do your homework by yourself.” Li Jordan stuffed a candy into his mouth and began to copy his homework.
“You can definitely look for information together and do your holiday homework together.” Albert appeared behind the two of them without warning and put his hand on their shoulders. “Hasn’t this method been used before?”
“Can you stop being so scary?”
“When will the party start?” Shanna asked, “I think the Easter holiday is a good time. Everyone happens to be free, so the party can be more intensive.”
“I think so too,” Angelina agreed.
Albert took out the half-written paper from his backpack and said: "Don't forget, we still have a lot of homework to do."
“It’s us, not you.” Angelina corrected.
"If you want to have a party, you'd better take the time to do your holiday homework so that you have enough time to attend the party." Albert flipped through his notes to see how many holiday homework the professors had assigned them during the Easter holiday.
“What party?” Ron appeared out of nowhere.
"In Albert's words, it is the O.W.Ls Defense Against the Dark Arts exam cram school." Fred said to Ron, "The purpose of the party is to enable everyone to get high scores in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam. If you have If you are interested, you can come and participate.”
“Sorry to bother you.” Ron retracted his head again. o. w． The LS exam is still far away for Ron, and he is currently dizzy with a pile of homework.
“Can I join in, too?” Hermione asked.
“Yes, if you want to join the defense association, you can pay attention to the next meeting time.”
“Defense Association?”
“Don’t worry about the name, Albert calls it the Defense Against the Dark Arts cram school.” George explained with a smile, “Anyone can participate as long as they don’t cause trouble.”
"You have more homework than us during the holidays, and you still have time to join the club?" Ron felt that Hermione was crazy.
"There's no harm in learning about the O.W.Ls exam now, we'll have to face it anyway," Hermione said calmly.
“Slytherin House can also participate?” Harry asked curiously.
“Of course, anyone can go.”
“What if they cause trouble at the party?” Harry asked again.
"We will work together to throw out the troublemakers." Fred said without thinking, "Actually, we are all looking forward to having Slytherin as our training partner."
At this moment, Kenneth Toler walked quickly towards this side with the package, placed the violently shaking package in front of Albert and said, "There is also a letter in your package."
“Why is this package moving?”
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either.” Kenneth Toller shrugged.
Everyone focused their attention on the gently shaking package, curious about what was inside the package.
