End of Chapter 806
Gsilda Marchbane has lived for a long time and is still an elder member of the Wizengamot. In a place like the wizarding world, where the older you get, the more respected you are, Professor Marchbane's connections and influence are no better than those of Dumbledore. Professor Lido is much inferior.
Albert just took this exam to confirm his identity as a prophet.
The status of a prophet or prophet in the magic world is actually very high, and Albert happens to have this ability, and he also needs the title of prophet to increase his reputation, improve his status in the magic world, and reduce the resistance he may encounter in the future. .
And things like reputation also need to be managed carefully.
Whether it is connections or reputation, Professor Marchban, an old friend who has a good relationship with Albert, is currently the best choice.
Let the other party see it and believe it, and the follow-up will be much easier.
After meeting Fred, George and Lee Jordan again in the common room, the three couldn't help complaining to Albert, "I don't know why we chose this stupid subject in the first place, it should be Throw it in the trash, that’s the best place for it.”
“Because the divination class allows you to be lazy and paddle.” Albert stabbed the three of them in the waist with a smile.
“Ahem, no matter what, at least we can give up on it now.” Li Jordan coughed lightly and began to take the lead in talking about what happened in the divination exam.
He doesn’t know how to read palms at all, so during the exam he can only talk about random things to excuse himself.
Actually, many students are like this.
Divination?
No, no, isn’t that a trick?
Even Professor Trelawney is recognized as a liar. A student taught by a liar professor is naturally not a serious student.
“That…”
“Professor Marchban.” Albert added.
"Yes, Professor Marchbaby, she is actually very old. I suspect she may be older than Professor Dumbledore, so I just..." George grabbed Lee Jordan's palm and said seriously: "Your His lifespan is very long, but it is coming to an end soon. Judging from the lifeline, he should live for another five years."
Lee Jordan withdrew his hand and couldn't help but complain: "Can you understand which one is the lifeline?"
"Of course I can understand it, that's it." George looked at Lee Jordan suspiciously, "You can't even understand this, right?"
“Obviously the top line is the lifeline, yours is the wisdom line.” Fred corrected him.
“Which one?” Lee Jordan looked at Albert who was playing with his cat next to him. He felt that neither Fred nor George were reliable.
"Fred's line is the emotional line, and George's line is the wisdom line." Albert corrected speechlessly: "The line with your thumb is the life line. The longer the life line, the longer your life is usually."
Lee Jordan burst into laughter. He reached out and patted Fred and George on the shoulders and said, "You have the nerve to accuse me. Don't you know nothing like me?"
“I didn’t expect to pass from the beginning anyway.” Fred said with a smile.
“Look at the astrology chart.” Lee Jordan sighed and said, “I don’t want to be so frustrated in the exam tonight and feel like a big fool.”
“Don’t be sad, you are a fool.”
"Shut up, aren't you?" Lee Jordan glared at the playful Fred and asked, "Are you going to give up on the astronomy practical exam tonight?"
"Of course not, why should I give up." Fred put his arm around Albert's shoulders and said, "I will take a good seat next to Albert then. You shouldn't mind letting me copy it!"
“If you have the ability.”
Albert was very dissatisfied with Fred's cheating. The observatory was just that big, and there were two examiners watching over it. The light at night was not good, so it was a technical job to peek at other people's astrological charts.
“Honestly, even if I let you copy it, it would be difficult for you to succeed.”
"Hahaha!"
George and Lee Jordan laughed terribly.
"Can't you say something nice? I think even if I succeed, you will still say I failed." Fred muttered. He also planned to look through the astrology chart later, and he had to fill in something casually on the test paper anyway. .
They all actually took astronomy seriously, but they didn’t do their homework seriously.
At eleven o'clock, a large group of candidates came to the top of the astronomy tower. Tonight, this place was enlarged by the Invisible Stretching Charm, enough to accommodate all the candidates.
Today may be a lucky day for everyone. There are no clouds in the starry sky above our heads, which is very suitable for observing stars.
The bright moonlight bathed the entire astronomy tower, which made it convenient for them to fill in star charts or cheat.
Fred did not give up his intention to cheat, and had already placed the binoculars next to Albert.
Well, Albert always felt that the surroundings were particularly crowded, and it seemed that many people had the same thoughts as Fred.
While everyone was looking for a place to set up their own telescopes and waiting for the examiner to distribute the test papers, a sudden voice suddenly sounded.
“What are you all doing here?”
Professor Tofti, who was in charge of distributing the test papers, asked the candidates around Albert to move away.
“Everyone should answer the test by themselves, and don’t try to cheat. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be immediately disqualified from the exam.”
After Professor Marchban announced the start of the exam, everyone began to fill in the blank star charts in their hands.
Albert looked at the map-like circular star chart in front of him, put his eyes close to the telescope, adjusted the focus to observe Venus, and accurately recorded the observed positions of stars and planets on the star chart based on the actual starry sky conditions.
This feeling is a bit like drawing a map, only this time it is a star map.
Professors Marchban and Professor Tofty sat in armchairs on the side of the astronomy tower and looked around the examination room. They would often stand up and walk among the candidates to prevent students from trying to cheat.
They have done their duty, but it is only eleven o'clock in the evening. For two elderly people, staying up late is very hard.
At this moment, there was deathly silence on the top of the Astronomy Tower, and everyone could clearly hear the rustling of parchment and the hurried writing of many quills.
As long as you take astronomy lessons seriously in class and do your homework after class, it is not difficult to fill in the blank astrology chart in your hand. Albert checked it carefully and after making sure there were no errors, he yawned out of boredom and waited for the exam to end.
Fred next to him had always wanted to take a peek at his astrology map, but due to Professor Marchban wandering around, he had never been able to succeed. His aggrieved look made Albert want to laugh.
Time passed little by little, and the castle gradually fell into a dead silence. When Professor Tofodi announced that there were only twenty minutes left in the exam, most of the students had already filled out the astrological charts and were doing final checks.
Until the time of winding up, Fred had not succeeded. He looked at Albert with a resentful look on his face, "I almost passed the test, and it's all because of your broken mouth."
"You don't care about your astronomy results anyway." Albert stretched out his hand to cover a yawn: "Go back and rest, we have to take the History of Magic test tomorrow afternoon. It's the last one, and after the test we can have a celebration party."
The History of Magic written test was held in the afternoon, probably so that the two examiners could have a good rest. Staying up late was too harmful to the two old people, and the candidates who took the exam until early in the morning could also have enough time to rest. , so as not to feel depressed during the exam the next day.
The next day, Albert went to bed very late and didn't get up until, in his words, he could get enough rest.
It is not necessary for him to sharpen his weapon and review it before the battle.
Just go through the previous test papers before the exam and simply read the so-called key points from beginning to end.
As for going through Isobel’s several-foot-thick notes, let him go, Albert doesn’t want to go crazy yet.
However, some people are already going crazy.
Alia was holding her head in her hands, sitting by the window of the common room, flipping through the two-and-a-half-foot-thick History of Magic notes borrowed from Albert.
She told Angelina, "I feel like a fool for still studying hard even though I know this class is useless."
"Just remember some key points, unless you want high scores." Angelina glanced at everyone who was flipping through the books, and lowered her voice: "I don't expect it anyway. I will be satisfied if I can get the certificate."
Except for Albert and Zannah, everyone else has passed the History of Magic exam and prepared for it. With the previous History of Magic exam papers, passing the exam is not a problem at all, because most of the key points have been marked. .
At two o'clock in the afternoon, fifth grade students walked into the auditorium one after another to face the last o.w.ls exam.
The History of Magic test papers had been distributed in advance and were placed upside down on the table in front of them.
Everyone is actually very relaxed. After all, they just take the exam casually.
Even if you fail the History of Magic exam, your O.W.LS results will be ugly at most. Except for some guys who want to get twelve excellent exams, there are not many people who really care about this course. Moreover, there is no advanced class on the history of magic in the school, and no one wants to take the advanced class on this subject.
To be honest, History of Magic is definitely the subject that Albert hates most, because the subject itself is very boring, and it also requires a lot of time to memorize things. He actually doesn't like many of the things written in the exam.
For example, question 3: In your opinion, did the Wand Regulations contribute to or help better control the goblin riots in the eighteenth century?
Oh, what a heck!
Although this is the same face in Europe, or in other words, it is the same face all over the world.
The wizard refuses to give the goblin the right to hold a wand, which is nothing more than a suppression of the goblin. One of the causes of the goblin rebellion was the wizards' attempt to take control of Gringotts Bank.
Of course, goblins themselves are not peaceful creatures. Those cunning guys like to tamper with their own history, which is equally disgusting.
In Albert's view, the conflict between the two sides is purely a matter of race and interests, and there is no way to say who is noble.
There is also question 10: Why do wizards in Liechtenstein refuse to join the International Confederation of Wizards?
The first president of the International Federation of Wizards was Pierre Bonacud. As soon as he became the president, he tried to persuade other countries to ban the hunting of trolls and give them the rights they deserve. However, Liechtenstein was evilly cruel. There was harassment from the mountain troll tribe, and large-scale conflicts broke out between the two sides. Naturally, it was impossible to buy Pierre Bonacud's blame.
Regardless of whether Pierre Bonacourt is creating a character or he is just a virgin bitch, he definitely has no brains. Maybe there are a few trolls in the world who are kind, but the vast majority of trolls are absolutely It couldn't be compared with kindness and friendliness, and few countries were willing to buy into his account, so Pierre Bonacud left the position of president shortly after he stayed.
In fact, most politicians have this kind of behavior. They are just elected representatives, and many of them do not have the ability. Otherwise, how could they propose many ridiculous bills?
Albert spent a lot of time writing the History of Magic paper, and he doubted whether others had enough time.
In any case, the o.w.ls exam was finally over, which made him relieved.
As soon as they walked out of the auditorium, the surroundings were filled with roars and screams. The fifth-grade students were using this method to vent the pressure caused by the O.W.LS exam.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan greeted Albert cheerfully and talked about plans for an all-night celebration in the common room after the exams for the other years.
So, the carnival to celebrate the end of the exam began.
Beautiful singing came from the record player, a large number of candies fell from everyone's heads with cheers, the wine glasses on the table were gradually filled with butterbeer, and the tables were filled with plates of delicious food. Everyone was chatting while eating. Interesting topics, or watching people doing a crappy dance.
"It's finally over." Percy sat down next to Albert with a plate of food. "The O.W.LS exam shouldn't be difficult for you."
“Twelve excellent ones should be no problem, but I feel like my resume is just a good-looking one, so it’s of no use.” After finishing the exam, Albert was still very confident about his results.
“Exactly like what you would say.”
“How was the O.W.LS exam?” Hermione came out of nowhere.
“It’s not very difficult, it just tests some basic knowledge.” Albert said with a smile, “If it were you, you would definitely be able to get excellent easily. Of course, divination may be a bit trickier.”
Albert turned his head and asked Percy: "By the way, how do you achieve excellence in divination?"
"It's very simple, just remember what's in the divination book, and just put it on when you use it." Percy said, "Except for you, there's no real fortune teller in this class, so I can only apply what's in the book." Knowledge, as long as you can do it well, it is basically not difficult to achieve excellence."
“That’s it?” Hermione was stunned.
“What if?” Percy asked, “Otherwise, all the candidates will fail.”
“But…what’s the point of this course?” Hermione asked puzzledly.
"Of course it makes sense. Didn't an Albert appear?" Percy pointed at Albert and said, "This is the meaning of the divination class."
“Want to go up and dance?” Shanna ran over to invite Albert.
Albert did not refuse and pulled Shanna into a simple dance to the music.
Fred and Angelina's dance not far from them was much more unrestrained. Lee Jordan was dancing with Aaliyah, while George's dance partner was Katie. Along with the beautiful music, more and more students Get involved.
“Want to play another song?” Shanna said, “I like this tune very much.”
"No, I'm going to sit down and have something to eat." Albert declined. He sat down next to Hermione, picked up Tom from her feet and placed him on the seat next to him. Looking at Harry who was a little unhappy, he asked casually, "What's wrong with him?"
“Dumbledore won’t let Harry move in with Black.” Ron, who was chewing a chicken drumstick, answered for Hermione.
"I think the principal must have a reason for doing this, and you should communicate with him." Albert picked up the plate and picked some food for himself. Tom next to him actually stared at the food on his plate.
“You just had dinner, and if you eat it again, you’ll be like a pig and a cat.”
Originally I only planned to write one big chapter for the exam, but I didn’t expect that I ended up sweating so much.
