Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 638
In the past, the so-called "Defense to the Dark Arts" could almost be directly linked to Dumbledore, because it was him who defeated the ambitions of the Dark Lord Greenward at the last moment with his own power.
But now, when others mention black magic, more people will immediately think of Maca.Two generations of the Dark Lord fell in the vestibule of Hogwarts Castle almost simultaneously. This is a fact that surprised the entire world.
I have to say that making Maca temporarily in charge of the additional question examiner for the Defence Against the Dark Arts practice exam, even if it is spread outside of Hogwarts, is enough to make people feel justified.
Of course, no matter what kind of discussion this matter will arouse in the future, everyone is still focusing their attention on the intense examination.
In this whole afternoon, Maca not only appeared as a temporary examiner in the OWLs test more than a dozen times, but he also had the opportunity to appear several times in the subsequent NEWTs test.
But to be honest, Maca's additional questions are indeed very difficult, and he did not let him go because he knew each other well.Until all the candidates have completed the exam, there are only five students who get additional points here, and among them, the seventh grader is only the handsome guy Cedric from Hufflepuff College.
In Maca's own words, it is-"I am acting as an examiner temporarily and setting questions is already out of compliance. If the difficulty is not increased, the International Wizarding Federation will not directly withdraw my professorship?"
However, there are two additional challenges for graduates, but it is worth mentioning at the end.Not only did they unexpectedly take the initiative to put forward a combination challenge that doubled the difficulty, but they almost passed both of them.
Yes, they are the famous Hogwarts mischief, the twin brothers Fred Weasley and George Weasley.
And what they used in the exam was the simultaneous spelling skills that Maca taught the members during the RA training.
Although they eventually missed the opportunity to score because they were too complacent, even Maca secretly nodded for them afterwards-using the tacit understanding of the twins to simultaneously cast spells, the effect was surprisingly good, because they didn't even have one. Mistakes.
It's a pity that failure means failure, and even a slight difference cannot change the facts.
Since that day, without the accident of Maca being the examiner, the examination has been carried out step by step again.On Friday, Luna and Hermione, who had taken the Ancient Magic Course, took the exam together, and those who did not choose this course, such as Harry and Ron, got a precious day off.
Since there was still a whole weekend to review, most of the fifth graders who did not refer to them put down their textbooks and materials and spent the whole day lazily.
Naturally, graduates have no chance to relax. Even if someone tells them that they should put down their pens and enjoy the gentle breeze and sunshine, the combination of work and rest may be more conducive to later exams, they must not be in that mood.
In the afternoon, when Harry and Ron were leaning at the window looking at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and you guessed what animal Hagrid, who was teaching the lower grades, had brought in again, Hermione walked in through the portrait hole.
The two of them turned around and realized that Hermione was in a strange mood at this time!
"Is it another'O (Excellent)'?" Ron asked, stretching his waist vigorously.
"I think it's okay!" Hermione said happily. "Like the morning written exam, the questions are incredibly simple. I'm thinking...Any student who has listened to the class will get a high score!"
"Oh, this sounds really good..." Harry sighed, "If I knew it, I should have taken magic writing class instead of some hell divination class! It doesn't work anymore to review that stuff, and Failing depends on luck!"
As Harry said, he and Ron kept reviewing potions and the history of magic for the whole weekend.
Actually, it’s not because they don’t want to take the exam for divination well, but because even Hermione doesn’t understand. Just looking at the tea dregs at the bottom of the cup and the mist in the crystal ball is what kind of method should be used for divination. Just go to review.
In short, among the not-so-pleasant textbooks, this weekend almost passed in a blink of an eye.
On Monday of the second week, the test was for potions.
Although this course has changed professors, the two teachers both have the level of a potion master. Even if the teaching styles are completely different, the teaching quality of the two can be said to be top.
Snape is good at advanced teaching. Although there are always some ignorances in the classroom, both the theory of potion preparation and the steps of preparation are clear and clear; Slughorn is good at guiding teaching, with a good classroom atmosphere and delicate The preparation of demonstrations can allow students to always maintain a high degree of concentration.
Therefore, when faced with moderately difficult exams, everyone performed fairly well.
As for the protection of magical creatures taught by Hagrid, the teaching plan Maca helped him develop played a very important role.Especially in the practical exams in the afternoon, most of the magical creatures that appeared in it were popular nowadays, and many of them were actually practiced in class.
In addition, Shanghai Ge's experience in caring for animals is also very rich. The knowledge imparted to the students by him is not fallible, so that most of the candidates passed the day smoothly.
As for the students' most headache, it must be the magic history exam on the last day.
The inherently boring classroom environment, coupled with the more boring textbook knowledge, most students will fall asleep unknowingly in class-but Professor Bins never thought of waking everyone up.
As a result, the students who had to face the exam suffered a lot in the dark review.As for the final exam... Hey, I don't want to mention it.
It had been Thursday evening, when the moment when the nearly two-week test finally ended completely, the little wizards finally gathered on the grass outside the auditorium gate and cheered.
Yes, maybe some of them are very likely to be crying for saying goodbye to each other after celebrating.But at least, the test, which was almost breathless, was finally over.
When the howls of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded from the vestibule, Maca, who was teaching students from other grades upstairs, couldn't help but stop explaining, and walked to the window and glanced down.
Obviously, even Professor McGonagall, who has always been strict in his life, rarely allowed them, these graduates, to indulge a little bit today, and didn't immediately rush them back to the common room.
Maca leaned against the window and watched quietly for a while, then turned her head and waved her hand gently.
"Sit down for me, and I'm still in class!" After he summoned the students who were also looking down at the window to their seats, he smiled slightly, "Don't worry! I will do it today. Dismiss get out of class earlier, so that you have more time to make trouble with the seniors..."
Before the words finished, there was a burst of laughter in the classroom, and words of praise were endless.But at almost the same time, the cheers from below stopped abruptly and changed to Professor McGonagall's stern hum.
"Stop it all for me!" Maca quickly waved his hands. "If Professor McGonagall hears you, you should prepare to clean the wall tiles in the bathroom together!"
...
For graduates, the end of the exam means that their school days are coming to an end; but for fifth graders such as Harry, this is just the beginning of another harder study life.
Oh, OK!Anyway, they still have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation to adjust themselves. Before the NEWTs course starts, they can relax.
A few days later, in the night horse carriage to Hogsmeade station.
"...I will go to play with you, and you can write to me at any time if you have anything to do," Maca was talking to Harry and the others, "Of course, you are welcome to send a letter even if you are fine!"
"Will you always be in school? Didn't plan to go somewhere to relax or something?" Ron said curiously, "If I were as rich as you, I would have a luxury global tour!"
"Oh, then you have to work hard to earn money after graduation," Maca smiled, "In addition...Yes, at least temporarily, you will stay in school for a while."
Yes, he will not leave Hogwarts yet.Because in the early summer of this year, he still needs to assist Professor McGonagall to do some interesting little work!
When the carriage creaked to the intersection in front of the station, Maca and Hagrid together sent everyone on the train, waving their hands with a smile, watching the train gradually go away with thick smoke, both of them were born in their hearts. I felt a little bit different.
Too many things happened this school year, both good and bad, but no matter what, it finally left with the Hogwarts Express.
After this, is there only a bright and smooth path left?Although there are still various uncertain factors around, Maca naturally hopes so.
"Hagrid, we should go back!"
Maca raised his hand and patted his arm. Suddenly, he realized that he, who could only photograph Hagrid's butt, had grown so tall!
"Oh, yes—" Hagrid tucked the wet handkerchief back into the pocket of his coat and nodded, "Well, I should go to the three broomsticks for a drink in a while... Maca, want to be together ?"
"Although I want to go too, but it's a pity," Maca said, "Professor McGonagall asked me to go there immediately after sending the students. I think you should understand... there are a few very meaningful ones. Little job!"
"Aha!" Hager said happily, "So, are you going this year?"
