Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Whether it is the OWLs test for fifth-grade students or the NEWTs test for seventh-grade students, the written test part tests the theoretical level of the little wizards.In the practical part, the application aspect is more important.

Just like the first exam question Harry encountered, most students can do it.But if you want to win the admiration of the examiner, you need to show something different.

Because of this, Harry's question seems simple, but in fact it may not be easier to get a good score than Ron's exam question.

At the very least, if Ron can fill all five cups, his grades will certainly not be bad.And it will not be like "making the wine glass somersault" like, if you inadvertently, you will be confused.

Here, Ron, after thinking about it for a while, suddenly thought of Maca's strange and surprisingly powerful freezing magic.He is naturally beyond the reach of such unheard of magic, but he can't be troubled by freezing a glass of water.

"The chill is like ice."

When he waved his magic wand and tapped on the cup filled with water, following a curse, the water in the cup immediately began to "crack" from the edge of the cup he tapped. It's iced.

"Floating into the air."

After the initial freezing curse was completed, the second curse came out of his mouth with extreme caution.As the enchantment took effect successfully, the frozen ice cube jumped from the cup and landed firmly on the table.

To be honest, Ron actually wanted to get started right now.But what is going on at the moment is a practical test of spells. If you touch it with your hands, what if the examiner deducts points without saying anything?

"Quickly getting bigger!"

The third spell is the expansion spell.This spell works best when applied to solids. If you don't freeze the water beforehand, even if he uses the energy of milking, it's amazing that it can make a cup of water into about two cups.

"Then... well, torn apart! Oh..."

When he got here, Ron was a little confused.Although this spell can be found in the first-grade "Standard Spell · Elementary", it is a relatively easy to learn spell.But just by seeing that it will be repeatedly explained and practiced in the next few semesters, you can know that this is a spell that is easy to learn but difficult to master.

To put it simply, it is not easy to control the intensity when cutting hard objects. If you are not careful, it will "click" along with the things under the target.

This time, Ron's cutting spell was obviously flawed.Although the table was not a major problem, the enlarged icicle exploded suddenly. Two of the five pieces passed over the brim of the old witch examiner on the opposite side, and went straight to the other side. Candidates went.

"Small, be careful—" "Bang!"

It was Dean Thomas, in the same dorm with Ron and Harry, a boy with black hair and dark skin.When the ice cube flew towards the back of his head, he was trying to use a spell to make the flower seedlings in the flowerpot grow up and bloom!

However, with a scream, Thomas' wand plunged straight into the dirt in the flowerpot.Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion accompanied a large amount of fresh mud flying away, splashing several people nearby.

"Bah, bah..." Ron vomited the Saturn child in his mouth, and then said with an annoyed face, "Sorry Dean, uh... sorry, dear lady."

There was such a big noise in the examination room, Ron thought to himself that it was definitely over again.In the morning, the curse theory test paper was not completed, and this kind of moth came out in the afternoon, and the course of curse learning was completely hopeless.

Who knows, the cold-faced old witch on the opposite side just took off his hat and gently shook the dirt on it, and then waved her hand blankly.

"Mr. Ron Weasley, are you going to give up?"

"Oh, I...can I continue?" Ron immediately said in surprise, "Uh...wait, I'll continue! That...floating into the air!"

Seeing that I can continue to complete the exam questions,

In this exam question, he never used any difficult spells from beginning to end.If you have to say what is the most difficult here, it is probably the "flaming flame" that is extremely basic in itself.

Use a fire curse to warm the contents of the cup. Maca was used in the pig's head bar at the beginning, and the effect of heating butter beer is quite good.Therefore, he added this inconspicuous little trick to those curse materials.

Since those spells with a high learning threshold were difficult for Ron to use, he spent a lot of effort on such easy spells.It can be seen that the effect is still good when it is shown in the exam at this moment.

At least, when the cold-faced old witch on the opposite side saw his little skill, her eyes could not help but light up.

After freezing a glass of water, it was expanded to enlarge, and finally cut and melted. It was barely enough to fill the five empty glasses with more than half of the water.Although the expansion spell is time-effective, the application of this series of spells is enough for the examiner to score a good score.

After glanced at the cup, the old witch picked up the notepad with Ron's file and wrote a few strokes:

"The level of spellcasting is medium to high, and it has the flexibility to apply multiple spells together. Specific spells (such as fire spells) have clever use of ideas and finer control capabilities."

After thinking about it for a while, she added a little next to her: "Same mind, not confident enough."

In fact, there are many ways to answer this question.If you are smart enough, you can actually fill five cups easily with a glass of water just by casting a shrinking spell on the cup.Of course, each student's abilities tend to be different, and the importance of being smart, alert and hardworking is naturally equal.

After that, Ron's practice test continued, but there were no surprises.When the old witch examiner finished scoring and signing on the file, Ron finally walked out of the auditorium with a panic.

"Ron, how is it?" Harry and Hermione who were waiting at the door saw him come out, and immediately leaned forward. "I heard Dean complain just now, saying that your ice cube hit the back of his head and hurt him. The examiner's face was smeared with mud..."

"Oh..." Ron said with a bitter face when he heard the words, "I think I have to go to Dean to apologize or something! I hope I didn't let him fail the exam..."

...

Not to mention that Ron is still frowning because of the "bad luck" all day long, and the exams in the auditorium are still going on!When the OWLs' curse practice test is over, the nightmare of graduates will follow-the practical content of NEWTs.

As far as the theory test in the morning is concerned, everyone is one test paper and one pen, and it is passed by, and there is no difference.But in the afternoon practice exam, the gap between the two was immediately revealed.

You don't need to go in to see it. From now on until the evening comes, there is always chaos in the closed auditorium.The sound of explosions, impacts, the sound of liquid flowing... and even occasionally you can see the fire from the window flickering, which is really lively.

After a while, one or two seventh-grade students with happy or worried expressions will come out of the door, and then the door will be closed tightly again.

Fortunately, there are not many students who can take the NEWTs course.Although everyone's exam time is obviously not short, but when the setting sun shines on the entire castle and a dazzling golden light, this whole day of noise has finally come to an end.

After sending off the last student, the examiners in the auditorium all packed their things one after another, and Maca, who was in charge of hosting these old professors, also went inside with Professor Flitwick.

"I can't believe it, I thought the troublemaker would definitely cheat in the exam! But they all honestly finished the exam..."

As he walked, the little man Flitwick whispered to Maca, with a visibly surprised look on his face.

"Hey," Maca said with a smile, "I have reminded them both, if they cheated, I must be the first to report! The twins are very capable, if they take the exam well, the results would not be good. difference."

"Yes!" Professor Flitwick shook his head. "The two kids are just too noisy..."

"It's a little trouble..." Maca shrugged. "But now they graduated. Hogwarts will be much quieter when they look back... Believe me, Professor Flitwick, we will miss them sooner or later. Those who are still there!"

Having said that, he raised his head and nodded to the old wizards, and said with a little respect: "Professor Macchiban, Professor TOFDI... You have worked hard today, please go to the side hall to take a rest! Have a little time In a moment, you will be able to enjoy a hearty dinner at Hogwarts!"

"Thank you, we are looking forward to it."

The lead Ms. Macchiban was dressed in an old-fashioned wizard robe, with simple colors and no decorations. She looked like a stingy old lady.She has neatly combed silver hair and a little smile on her face, but there is more calmness in those deep eyes.

But to be honest, this is actually a very talkative old lady, at least that's what Maca thinks-although she sometimes feels too serious.

"Mr. McLean, if necessary, we can also help you restore the auditorium together." She looked at the auditorium and said, "Many years ago, I also read here...seriously, every year Come and take a look here, it can make me feel like I'm a few years younger!
