Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 128 Prophecy
The time soon came to the beginning of June, and as exam week approached, Hogwarts was full of tension.

Monday morning is the transfiguration exam, first theory and then practice.Theoretical knowledge is good, as long as you memorize it with your heart, you can easily get a high score.

But in practice, it's different.

Turning an object into another object is the knowledge of the first grade; turning a small creature into a dead object is the test point of the second grade.This year, the difficulty is upgraded, turning dead objects into active living creatures.

This is the real step into the door of transfiguration.

Professor McGonagall asked everyone to turn a teapot into a turtle. Few completed it. Most of the turtles turned out had obvious traces of the teapot, either the shell was a lid, or the tail was still like a handle.

After the exam, Stewart and Anthony had a meltdown.They have been practiced by Roger for a whole year, and the time spent on study has been reduced a lot.

Anthony turned into a turtle with a handle on his shell and a teapot pattern on his body, and Stuart was even worse, only in the shape of a turtle.

"It's over, I'm afraid I'm going to get a T this time!" Stuart said angrily.

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall will never give a T to a student." Terry comforted, "It's just a D, it's nothing."

In the afternoon, it was the spell test. This time everyone performed well, and Stuart had a smile on his face again.The Happy Charm wasn't too difficult a spell, he even thought he'd get an E.

On the morning of the second day, Ike had to take three exams at the same time, protection of magical animals, arithmetic and divination, and Muggle studies.None of them were very difficult, and Hagrid even came up with a topic that almost everyone could get an O: take care of the Flobber caterpillars so that they are still alive after an hour.

Never mind these slightly nasty bugs, Flobber caterpillars do best when they're left alone.The arithmetic divination on the other side is a little troublesome. Ike got a piece of paper full of words, and he needs to use arithmetic divination to write the omen given in this article.

It was computationally intensive and several people crashed.

The difficulty of Muggle studies is similar to that of the Protection of Fantastic Beasts course, and it is very easy to complete the handover paper without any difficulty at all.

In the afternoon, it was Defense Against the Dark Arts, without any written exams. Lupine arranged a field, and the students needed to solve Grindylow, Red Hat, Hinkpunk, and Boggart in turn.These are the things he has taught in class this year, and the vast majority of people have passed it smoothly, the only difference is the length of time.

Wednesday morning was Snape's potions exam. After finishing a long test paper, he still needed to successfully brew a confusion potion.For Ike, who had almost a year of potion experience, it was not difficult at all. Snape kicked Ike out without even looking at it.

The same is true for the ancient runes in the afternoon. Professor Bathsheda drew an O on Ike without even reading his test paper.At the same time, herbal medicine is not difficult, and the simple work of changing pots can be easily completed by wearing dragon leather gloves.

However, astronomy at night is a bit troublesome, the sky is a bit cloudy, blocking a large part of the starry sky.Ike had to cast an Eagle Eye Charm on himself to see through the clouds.

History of Magic has always been the easiest exam at Hogwarts, and Professor Binns almost only takes the big events in history.In the afternoon, Ike finally ushered in his last subject: divination class.

Everyone stood outside Trelawney's wooden door, and one by one went in to take the exam, and Ike didn't go in until the last.

"Look at this crystal ball and tell me what you see?" Xu Shi said too many times, Professor Trelawney looked tired.

Ike nodded, sat opposite Trelawney, put his hands gently on the crystal ball, and slowly closed his eyes.When it was opened again, a blurred picture appeared inside.

"Black shadow, ever-changing black shadow..."

"So, what does it look like to you, what is it trying to tell you?"

"People, many people, different people..." Ike suddenly realized something, and said something uncontrollably:

"The curse brings hope;
Misunderstandings continue;

hope shines white;

Dispel the darkness that covers the sun;
note!

lingering in the swamp!

on a starless night;

Evil will return! "

Professor Trelawney's eyes were burning, and he couldn't help clapping his hands as he watched the crystal ball emit a faint blue light.

"Congratulations, Mr. Strider, for making a true prophecy. Congratulations, for getting an O!"

When Ike came back to his senses, he still clearly remembered everything he had just said in his mind, and his expression was a bit complicated.

"Thank you, Professor..."

Suddenly, Ike took out his wand, and the tip of the wand burst into light.

"Forget it all!"

Seeing Professor Trelawney's confused expression, Ike silently put away the blue crystal ball, reduced it to the size of a marble, and replaced it with a new one.

"Professor, professor!"

Following Ike's call, Professor Trelawney came to his senses.Glancing blankly at Ike and the transparent crystal ball in front of him, his attention fell on the grade book in his hand again.

"Can I leave?"

"Ah... oh! Okay, Mr. Strider." After Ike left, Professor Trelawney sat quietly in the chair for a long time.

Scratching her hair, she murmured, "Did you drink too much sherry..."

And Ike, who walked out of the divination classroom, quietly crushed the marbles in his pocket.

As Trelawney said, this is a real prophecy, and Ike, who has understood what it says, cannot let others know.Destroying the crystal ball was for this purpose, and casting the Oblivion Curse on Trelawney was also for this purpose.

This time Ike is very confident that the Forgetting Curse of LV6 is enough to make Trelawney forget what happened just now.

Back in the common room, everyone was discussing the content of these days' exams in twos and threes with a relieved look on their faces.Stewart seemed a bit broken. According to his estimation, he could hardly get an O in one subject, which was much worse than last year.

In fact, due to Quidditch training, all the players' performances have declined, even if the results have not yet come out, they are well aware of it.But Ravenclaws never worry about their grades, and they're never intimidated in that regard.

This kind of thing that can be obtained by hard work is nothing compared to the Quidditch champion!
Ike smiled and leaned over, stretched out his hand to call for a paper bag, took out one and threw it into his mouth.He enjoys the plainness and purity now. Everyone puts their troubles and joys on the bright side. Before being overwhelmed by the troubles of growing up, everyone is as simple as a blank sheet of paper.

The dinner on the day of the exam was a little richer than usual, and everyone was celebrating, especially the fifth and seventh graders, and some even cried.

People who haven't gone through the OWLs and NEWTs exams can't understand this feeling of being left behind, but Ike can understand it a little bit.

Just like the students after the college entrance examination will always have a night of fun, this is the madness of the sudden release of long-term pressure.

Laughing, Ike looked at the vacant seat on the professor's chair, and left quietly.

Put on the illusion spell and walk out of the castle like a ghost.In the sky, the clouds are thick, and the Whipping Willow looms in the east.
