The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 358 Level Examination and Buckbeak

June is fast approaching, and for fifth year students, it can only mean one thing: the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams are finally here.

The castle grounds glistened in the sun as if they had just been painted.The cloudless sky smiles at the reflection in the shimmering lake.The satin-smooth greenery gently undulates in the breeze.

But this kind of scenery was not appreciated by anyone, and everyone was studying desperately. Ada put away her lazy attitude and started to brush the questions repeatedly. The twins stopped telling jokes and began to work hard to endorse.

Professors no longer give fifth graders homework, and classes are devoted entirely to reviewing questions that the teacher thinks are most likely to appear on the test.

This fanatical and hard-working atmosphere affected everyone, and many lower grade students were also driven to start reviewing seriously.

During this time, there was a thriving black market among fifth and seventh graders, dealing in things that would help people focus, refresh their minds, and keep them awake.

These black market transactions aggravated the prefect's work, making Percy furious, and Ida even checked all the male and female dormitories with a wand, confiscating a lot of useless Buffy brain-boosters and the so-called "dragons". Claw powder".

With this kind of skill, it's better to brew a bottle of Felicia Elixir, that stuff will work a little better.

As the exam is approaching, many people's behaviors have become very weird, and they use various "performance arts" to relieve themselves.Although Ada said "Small scenes, don't panic", she spent more time reviewing than anyone else.

Charging for 5 minutes and reviewing for five hours, Hermione was dumbfounded by Ada's desperate review.There are always some people, even if they are better than you, she works harder than you.So Miss Beaver began to follow her predecessors and spent more time studying.

This will be a pain for the twins, Harry, and Ron. The four boys glanced at each other, sighed in unison, then picked up their books and started to review.

The exam finally came. The Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam lasted for two weeks, with theory exams in the morning and practice exams in the afternoon.Practical exams in astronomy will be given at night.

And in the exam, all known cheating methods in the magic world cannot be used, memory balls, cheat sheets, and automatic error-correcting quills (inks) cannot be used.The punishment for cheating students is also very severe.

The first exam, Charms Theory, is due on Monday morning.In the auditorium, Dumbledore stood with a group of aging wizards, and the examiner was Geselda Marchban, who was older than Dumbledore.

Geselda Marchban was also Dumbledore's examiner, and Dumbledore, who took the Ultimate Wizarding Level Examination, left a deep impression on the old lady.

At 09:30, the exam officially started.The four house desks in the auditorium were removed and replaced by a number of single desks, all facing the staff desks at the far end of the auditorium.

When Professor McGonagall turned over a huge hourglass, the students also got the test papers and began to answer the questions one after another.

The content of the test paper is not complicated, and it is not much more difficult than the final exams in previous years.It is still mainly about answering the name of the spell, the standard swinging movement, and sometimes the question of when a certain spell appeared.

In the afternoon, fifth grade students lined up into the small room off the auditorium, waiting to be called to take their practical exams.Because of the alphabetical order of the surnames, Ada was placed very far behind, and there were only a few people left behind her, such as the twins.

In the next few days, except for astronomy at night, other exams were similar.The students are tired like dogs, memorizing knowledge points every day, or waving their magic wands.

The examiners kept scoring, and sometimes they would sigh when someone performed very well.Among them, Ada left the deepest impression on the examiners.

Ada showed the examiners what standards and norms are.Although Ada has her own spellcasting habits, she does not have to follow the standard wand movements, but this does not mean that she has completely forgotten the standard movements.

All of Ada's practical exams were amazing except for herbalism.The chief examiner, Geselda Marchban, even gave a very high evaluation, saying that Ada's performance reminded her of Dumbledore.When the little old lady said this, her dentures almost flew out without excitement.

When the two-week grade exam was over, everyone realized that at least the people around them had lost a lot of weight.

Happiness returned to Hogwarts, no need to face exams, no need to think about grades for the time being, everyone was laughing heartily and singing loudly.

In the sea of ​​joy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were not happy at all. They saw Cornelius Fudge on the playground.

The minister was wearing a pinstriped cloak, followed by a menacing man.Today was Buckbeak's last appeal, but the Minister showed up at Hogwarts with the executioner.The appeal was over before it even started.

After a few words of concern for Harry, the Minister led the executioner and the members of the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures to Hagrid's hut.

As angry as they were, there was nothing Harry, Ron, and Hermione could do, they couldn't change the Minister's decision, and they couldn't change the outcome of the trial.

The dejected three were not knowing what to do when they saw Ada walking out of the castle with the three of them, and they were also moving towards Hagrid's hut.

When Ada got closer, the three discovered that Ada's left arm was covered with thick plaster and bandages.The three of Harry could swear to God, Ada's left arm was still fine at noon, why did it hurt after a while?

Hermione also found out that the tall man next to Ada, whom she had seen before, seemed to be Ada's cousin. How could he come to Hogwarts? Could it be that he came to care about her cousin?
Confused, Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed the minister and his party, as well as Ida and her cousin, all the way to Hagrid's cabin.

At this time Dumbledore and Hagrid were standing in the open space outside the hut. There were a lot of huge pumpkins growing on the ground, and Buckbeak the Hippogriff was chained in the middle of the pumpkins.

Dumbledore warmly welcomed Fudge's arrival, and introduced the extra-large pumpkin that Hagrid had planted to Fudge in no time.

Hagrid's face was full of unwillingness and anger, and the final appeal had not yet been resolved, but Fudge had brought the executioner McNeil to Hogwarts, and they had already made preparations to execute Buckbeak.

"Good weather," Fudge said, casting his eyes on the Hippogriff not far away, "It's a pity...it's a pity..."

These words were tantamount to rubbing salt in Hagrid's wounds. The eleven-foot-tall half-blood giant was aggrieved like a child, but Fudge still refused to give up.

He went on: "You know, Albus, that the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures requires a witness to be present when a deranged hippogriff is executed. I was just about to visit Black when I was pulled It's bad."

"It's not time yet," Dumbledore said leisurely, "Come on, let me introduce you to other interesting things!"

Hagrid wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to express it. At this moment, Ada and his party also rushed to the cabin.The tall Henry Rozier first glanced at Hagrid in surprise, and then at Dumbledore and Fudge.

"Mr. Minister, Mr. Principal, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Henry from the French Ministry of Magic..."

"The French Ministry of Magic?" interrupted Fudge. "What are you doing here? If you have any official business to discuss, you should go to London."

Dumbledore didn't speak, but looked at Ada across the crowd, and Ada slightly raised her left arm, which was bandaged and plastered, to respond to him.With just this slight movement, Dumbledore confirmed his guess—rescue soldiers.

"That's right, sir. We were originally going to London, but the people there told us that it would be better for us to come here." Henry explained that he looked serious now, but he really looked like a bureaucrat.

Another person who came with Henry took out two documents from the briefcase and handed them to Fudge.After seeing Fudge open the file, Henry continued: "We want to extradite a Hippogriff, and I hope Mr. Minister can agree to it."

Fudge, who was flipping through the document, frowned. This document was completely reasonable and legal, but there was such a big battle just for the extradition of the Hippogriff. What do they mean?
