Chapter 805 Unreasonable
In the common room that afternoon, the fifth graders, led by Albert, were raising glasses to celebrate that it was one day closer to the end of the exam.
“Where did you get all the butterbeer?” Angelina remembered that these guys had been drinking ice-cold butterbeer a lot recently.
“You have to ask Albert about this.” Fred said that the butterbeer was all brought by Albert, and it had nothing to do with them.
"I asked the house elves to go to Hogsmeade Village to buy it." Albert felt the girls' eyes and explained with a smile: "As long as your relationship with the house elves is good enough, they won't mind helping you occasionally. You run errands and buy groceries.”
“As expected of you!” Lee Jordan said in admiration. Of course he had seen the house elves in the kitchen eagerly stuffing biscuits and pies into their hands, but that was about it.
Most students have never even seen a house elf with their own eyes. They have only heard that there are many house elves in the school. It is completely unimaginable that Albert can actually ask the house elves in the school to help purchase butterbeer.
In fact, everyone was misled by Albert's words. The house elf actually refers to Albert's house elf Bit, not the house elf in the school.
There will be an exam tomorrow, so naturally no one dares to drink too much. After resting and chatting for a while, they all consciously reviewed the content of tomorrow's exam.
As long as you have read the previous astronomy theory test papers, you will know that tomorrow's astronomy written test is actually not difficult. It just requires filling in the names, positions and modes of movement of stars, constellations, planets and satellites. More actually, it takes time and energy to memorize the knowledge points in class. As long as you memorize them, it is not difficult to get high scores.
The more difficult one is the astronomy practical test tomorrow night. They need to get to the top of the astronomy tower before 11 p.m.
The content of the exam is to observe the stars and fill in the blank star charts by observing the actual starry sky. Everyone has done this before. As long as you listen carefully in class, there is basically no problem.
As for the divination class tomorrow afternoon, no one really cares about it, and no one plans to waste precious review time on it.
"I think the arrangement of the Wizarding Examination Administration is very unreasonable." Shanna tapped her fingers lightly on the exam timetable on the table and raised her doubts, "They actually squeezed all the exams for three subjects into one day. It's simply I’m just crazy, I really don’t understand why the Wizarding Examination Authority doesn’t move Divination and Arithmancy to Friday?”
In fact, not only Shanna felt this way, but other fifth-grade students also felt that this arrangement was strange. Especially for a student like Albert who needs to take twelve courses, wouldn't he have to take four exams tomorrow, and the exam times for divination and arithmetic also overlap.
In the eyes of uninformed students, the people of the Wizarding Examination Authority must have had their brains pinched.
Of course, no one will worry that taking four consecutive exams will affect Albert's performance. This guy is obviously still able to handle these exams with ease. Look at how everyone is embarrassed by the fire crabs in protecting magical creatures, but he is the only one who has no trouble.
Aaliya looked at Albert, blinked and said, "I'm actually more curious about how you can participate in divination and arithmetic divination at the same time?"
This is also a question they are curious about. So far, Albert has never missed an elective class.
Exactly how he appeared in two places at the same time remains an unsolved mystery.
“Don’t ask, it’s the Clone Spell.” George joked seriously: “I also asked Albert to teach me the Clone Spell, but he told me that the spell was too dangerous.”
Everyone asked in unison: "What kind of spell is it?"
“Isn’t it good to be alive?” Albert asked.
“Spells are dangerous?”
Everyone stared at him with suspicious eyes, trying to force Albert to tell the secret with their eyes.
"It is very dangerous, and the spell is also very unstable. If you use it casually, you will either kill yourself first, or you will be invited by the Ministry of Magic to visit Azkaban Prison." Albert was not lying. The hour reversal spell is indeed a trap. , most of the warriors who dare to use it on themselves will have grass growing on their graves.
Of course, if you use experience and skill points to fill up the hour reversal spell through the panel first, you may be able to use it safely, but the cost is too huge. Using the time turner is obviously safer and more stable, so it is impossible for Albert to It's a waste of your valuable experience and skill points.
This is the deal he made with the Order of Merlin earlier. It was not only to complete the task, but also to give Fudge an irresistible reason to get the time turner he wanted from the Ministry of Magic.
“What kind of spell is it? Stop titillating.” Angelina gritted her teeth with hatred. This kind of guy who likes to titillate is the most annoying.
"I promised Professor McGonagall that I would keep it a secret." Albert shrugged. "Besides, I didn't say it for the sake of your safety. You are too curious and risked your life to try the spell that day. You really put yourself at risk." If he died, wouldn't it be my fault?"
If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t play in the common room, several people would have started chasing Albert.
The astronomy theory test the next morning was very simple. Albert answered all the questions easily. The questions were similar to those in previous exams, and some of the questions were even repeated.
After the written test on astronomy theory, Fred, George and Lee Jordan suddenly had an idea and discussed selling these test papers to the next O.W.LS candidates.
The price can be cheaper, one test paper costs one cent. With so many test papers, it will definitely be able to sell a lot of Galleons, and it can also help everyone pass the O.W.LS exam easily.
Well, this is more reliable than cheating.
Albert was very doubtful about letting these three guys do that. The o.w.ls exam was related to N. E. w． Will they mess up the Ts exam?
The afternoon divination test is not in the auditorium, because the auditorium is used to test arithmetic divination. Albert plans to take the arithmetic divination test first, because that way, when using the time converter to go back in time to take the divination test, he does not have to take the divination test. After finishing, I still have to find a place to count the time.
Arithmancy is somewhat similar to probability and statistics. The core of this course is to use numbers to predict the future.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of probability.
The content of the exam is actually some arithmetic table-filling questions.
There are no weird mathematical formulas on the wizard's side, it's just pure arithmetic. As long as you have good calculation skills, you can basically pass it.
Of course, this course is not very friendly to students who are not good at arithmetic. Muggle wizards have an advantage in this regard.
In Albert's opinion, the difficulty of the arithmetic divination test paper is related to the O.W.LS exam. If the difficulty is too high, most wizards may be eliminated directly.
“Have you passed the divination test?”
As soon as she left the hall, Katrina approached Albert.
"Not yet, let's come together!" Albert invited: "How did you do on the arithmetic and divination test?"
"I think the arithmetic divination test went pretty well and it's not particularly difficult." Katrina glanced at Albert secretly. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it so quickly?" The arithmetic divination is finished."
While everyone was working hard to calculate, Albert finished the test paper and began to sleep on his stomach.
“It sounds like a lot of hard work.” Katrina couldn’t understand what it was like to start school at such a young age.
“It never hurts to learn more.”
The two spent some time going to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the castle. In fact, they could also find a secret passage, but it might be the last time they used the time turner, and Katrina thought she should be careful.
After entering the Room of Requirement, Katrina took out the time turner from her pocket, wrapped a gold chain around Albert's neck, and took him back to two hours ago.
When the two left the Room of Requirement, Katrina suddenly asked: "Is it true that Isobel said we were going to the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation?"
“Really, someone said they would give me some tickets to the Quidditch World Cup.” Albert said casually.
Well, Albert really didn’t lie. Black did say that he would give him some tickets to the Quidditch World Cup.
“Just the three of us?” Katrina asked again.
“I actually asked Isobel to invite your family, but Mrs. McDougal seems to be unavailable, so Isobel will take us together when the time comes.”
Albert walked down the stairs. They were going to the empty classroom on the third floor to take the divination practical exam.
As for the content of the divination exam, everyone has actually known it for a long time, which is palmistry, tea leaf divination and crystal ball divination.
Of course, knowing the test content is another thing than passing the practical test.
Candidates need to enter the examination room in order to take the test, while Professor McGonagall maintains order outside the examination room. As for the order of entering, they have memorized it after several exams.
Albert was one of the first people to go in.
“I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.”
Professor Marchbank warmly welcomed Albert over. Ever since she knew that Albert was a prophet, she had been curious about whether Albert could really predict the future.
Professor March’s class opened his withered and wrinkled palms on the soft cushion and said to Albert, “What did you see in my hands?”
Albert gave some simple judgments based on the palmistry knowledge he learned in the divination class.
"Generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely not die within two or three years." Albert pointed at Professor Marchban's slender and profound lifeline and said, "However, your lifespan will not be too long. It's probably still seven or eight years away, and if nothing unexpected happens, the time can extend back a few years."
Albert did not give a specific time. He thought it was pure nonsense. No wizard could accurately judge the life span of others just by looking at palms.
Professor Marchiban is indeed very old, even older than Dumbledore.
I have to say that many wizards live very long lives.
Professor Machiban retracted his palm, pointed to the teapot next to him and said, "Use the tea leaves to help me divine!"
After finishing speaking, she poured herself a cup of tea. After drinking the tea in the cup, only the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup were left, and then handed the cup to Albert.
Albert swung the tea leaves three times with his left hand, then turned the tea cup over and placed it on the cup holder. He waited until the last bit of tea drained out before he began to observe the tea leaves in the cup.
“Cross.”
He cleared his throat and said: "You may encounter some trouble. I can't be sure of the specific time, but I think it won't be recently. It may be a few years later. If you want to know what trouble is, I can use the crystal ball to help you." You divine. To be honest, tea leaf fortune-telling is not really my strong point."
"Well, if you can do it, I can give you full marks." Professor Marchban raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the tea leaves in the cup, and he raised his head and said to Albert.
In fact, as long as Albert can really predict the future, he can directly give full marks in the divination test.
As for the examination, everything is secondary. Even those candidates who have achieved excellent results cannot predict the future.
Most of the time, you just tell the examiner what you know in the book. This is actually very boring, and it is of no use if you score high.
Albert focused his attention on the crystal ball in front of him, stretched out his palm and touched it lightly. Within Professor Marchban's field of vision, the white mist in the crystal ball quickly rotated, and then it was like clearing away the fog. The mirror becomes clear and ethereal.
Professor Marchban's eyes couldn't help but widen, because she really saw some pictures in the crystal ball, which was a small part of the newspaper, a report about her.
The content is to accuse Mrs. Marchbaan of secretly colluding with the goblins to subvert the group.
“Secretly colluding with the goblins to subvert the group?”
Professor Marchban felt that this report was ridiculous. She was sure something happened during the period, otherwise the Daily Prophet would not have dared to report on a senior Wizengamot member like this.
Just verified the previous tea divination.
Can you see something more detailed? "Professor Marchban asked curiously.
“The longer the interval, the less things can be predicted.” Albert stared at the crystal ball, raised his hand and touched it lightly. The fog in the crystal ball spun again, and this time a person appeared in the crystal ball.
“Your matter is related to this person.” Albert said, pointing to the reappearing figure.
A photo of a newspaper reappeared in the crystal ball, and it was Umbridge. I have to say that Umbridge was too recognizable.
Professor Marchbank looked at the figure in the crystal ball and murmured: "Dolores Umbridge?"
“Is this guy Dolores Umbridge?” Albert asked as he looked at the woman in the crystal ball.
“Do you know her?”
“I’ve heard something about her and someone told me to stay away from her.”
"You really brought me an unexpected surprise." Professor Marchban brought the topic back and said, "You are the second student who has been able to do this for me for so long."
“Who is the first?” Albert asked curiously.
"Inigo Inmag, author of "A Guide to Dream Interpretation."" After Professor Marchban finished speaking, he signaled to Albert that he could leave.
