Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"They clicked!" Hermione quickly brought Hagrid's attention to the window, and the big bird in the center of the clearing tremblingly pierced the sky and reached the sky, flying through the clouds like a stunt pilot.

"For you, what is the meaning of Hogwarts?" This question lasted for a long time until the sky was filled with colorful spots of light, and the flowers of firework lasted for a long time, and eventually disappeared in the sky, and there was no answer in my heart. Can speak it.

Chapter 103 OWLs Exam

"Unbelievable!" Professor McGonagall sternly shot from behind the desk like a knife. She has received the news from Madam Pomfrey, "Have you considered the consequences of doing this?"

"You obviously hate that old witch, don't you?" George said nonchalantly, seeing that several people agreed with him. "We heard that you and Umbridge had a big fight in the office. "Since Dumbledore was forced to leave, many things have changed, and contradictions have been unprecedentedly intensified.As for the hypocrisy on the surface, they have long been discarded.

"But I won't use this indiscreet way to decide my own future." Professor McGonagall said coldly, "Or do you think it only takes a few people to stand up and drop out to solve this problem? Especially the two of you, If your parents knew about this, what do you think they would think?"

"I think my mother will give us a big hug. After all, we are also trying to rescue the innocent princess from the dragon's mouth. And don't we also consider that guy's life safety?" Fred laughed. The expression disappeared under Professor McGonagall's icy eyes.

"No matter what your reasons are, you must accept punishment, because you throw the new principal into the sky like fireworks." Professor McGonagall said this term in a very contemptuous tone, "This is also a rule that must be fulfilled. Of course, participate in this. Everyone in this plan will be punished, and none of them can escape."

"It's all my fault, Professor." Zoe lowered his head."Yes, Siegel, you are also one of those who must be punished. Please be aware of your mistakes. I also heard that you took her to the principal's office? I don't want to ask you the reason for doing this again. , But don't have another time, can it be done?" Professor McGonagall sighed.

"As for you, Granger. I really didn't expect that the person who planned the whole incident was you. I had hoped that you could stop these hot-headed and irrational decisions. Not only will you be punished more severely, but I will write The letter tells your parents about this. Is there anything you want to say?" Hermione shook her head.

"I will notify you of the punishment decision. Now you can go." Professor McGonagall wiped his lenses, got up from the chair, and tidied his clothes.

"Professor, are you going to go out?" Parvati asked unexpectedly, because she saw McGonagall sprinkling Floo powder in the fire, and the flame suddenly turned green.

"Now our new principal has become a state where he must enter the St. Mungo Magical Injury Hospital. Of course there will be many things to be busy, or do you really want to try to be caught by the Auror?" McGonagall The professor snorted, but he felt like he was out of breath.

"Aren't we?" Ron shouted in surprise.

"This is just an accident worthy of sympathy. It is a small mistake that Dolores made when performing official duties, such as an accident like a spell rebound." Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "Since it is an accident caused by improper management of himself. Why do you want unrelated students to take responsibility? Or do you think I can’t even protect my own students? As long as I stay in this position for a day, I won’t let those guys take action against you.” Professor McGonagall firmly Said, then disappeared into the fire.

*******

Although Professor McGonagall said severe punishment, the members of the fifth grade soon discovered that the so-called punishment is mostly left in the classroom to copy and review the knowledge points. Although every day is boring and tired, it is indeed a certain kind of punishment. To a certain extent, it also helped them who are about to face exam difficulties.

As for those who are not candidates, they must accept physical work.Since Umbridge was admitted to the hospital, Professor McGonagall temporarily replaced the position of management as the vice-principal. She stopped Filch, who wanted to be rough on the students, even though he stood by Professor McGonagall with the latest education order authorized by the Ministry of Magic. Going forward (the decree allows him to use violence against students who make mistakes), but it is cleverly shelved.Although Filch's unsatisfied requirements were extremely dissatisfied, he couldn't resist because Umbridge could not speak for him, and could only use a worse attitude to criticize the punished students.

Hermione was the only student who had to accept physical punishment even in the fifth grade. She sternly rejected Zoe's request to help her share the burden. Even though she fell asleep at the end of the day, she still clenched her teeth and persisted.

In the end, part of the truth about the Umbridge attack was leaked out. At that time, the entire Hogwarts was boiling. The punished members were treated like heroes. The enthusiasm of the students was high, but the professors were also open. With one eye closed, and allowing them to make trouble in the castle, George and Fred took the opportunity to make another money.

"I think we will be able to save enough money to rent a shop before graduation." One day, the two people got together and snickered at the ledger on the table, calculating how much space was left with the ideal future.

"Is this the money you two saved up one by one?" Zoe took a look, his voice was amazed.Since the previous riot, Zoe has always wanted to find a chance to talk to these two men.

"Of course, after we graduate, we will go to Diagon Alley—" "Or Hogsmeade—" the two sang and said with a smile, "Open a prank shop and make more and better prank props. Then make a fortune. Now we only have a little bit left to reach the first step."

"Funding is no longer a problem?" Zoe asked."How can it be, there must be many problems that need to be solved, but as long as we are together, nothing can't be solved." George said with excitement.

"Have you ever thought about accepting investment?" Zoe asked.

"It's not unimaginable. But instead of accepting the finger-pointing of those fools with no sense of humor for the sake of ample money, even if the early days are more difficult, it is much more free." George is confident.

"Don't be funny, isn't the real reason why no one will come to invest in unknown people who don't know if they can succeed?" Fred immediately broke down, and the two continued to fight again.

"But the more money the better, isn't it? As long as you have ample gold, you can plan to open branches. Think about it, make your products more famous, not just in the UK, but you can make the little wizards all over the world Buy Weasley’s hoax props." Zoe said, "And investors will not interfere with your affairs without authorization, but will also support you in researching new products. As long as you provide a report every year and provide a certain return, the money is Yours."

"That's right. It's tempting." George spread his hands. "First of all, we have to find such a fool with a pile of gold at home, who was fooled by us. We must know that we have no experience in doing business. If you fail, everything will be lost. I don’t think there are fools who are willing to ignore such risks."

"I don't mind being this fool." Upon hearing these words, the two stared at Zoe in surprise."If you want to pay back the favor, let's save your worry. We don't help because we want to get paid from you. We don't feel comfortable holding this gold. It's like grabbing it from you." De waved his hand unhappily.

"Although I did this to thank you, but what really moved me was your creativity." Zoe took out a familiar candy package from his pocket, and the two of them knew at a glance that it was their product.

"I have studied quick-acting skipping candy, but until now there has been no obvious progress, let alone other more interesting things. I don't think you will make my gold bleed. This is a win-win approach. We can work together. Make a fortune." The two looked at each other, and finally got together with interest.

In the second week of June, after a long period of depressive and nervous review, the fifth-grade and seventh-grade students finally started their own battle.For most students, the two-week test period may seem long, but it is fleeting.The whole year's hard work is only to have a good performance in two weeks, even if they will not get their results until the summer vacation in July.

Many people always show a nervous expression of vomiting when they enter the examination room, but when they leave the examination room, they seem to throw out their souls.They take the written test in the morning, and the invigilator will strictly monitor every corner of the test room to prevent some bold students from trying to cheat; in the afternoon, it is a practical test, and the results barely can be hidden from the face of the experienced examiner.

Chapter 104: Future Plans

"Zoe, I think I messed up the production of my moderator, and the examiner probably won't give me good grades. The final result is not the same as the one made by Professor Snape during class, but I don’t know. Which step went wrong?" The OWLs exams are gradually coming to an end, and the remaining days are also separate exams for optional courses.For this free time, everyone has their own way of dealing with it, but no college can be like Ravenclaw. There are so many people who choose not to go outside for a walk, but to stay in the common room. The answer is right here.

In view of the cumbersome production process of the moderator, as long as one step is omitted, all subsequent efforts will be scrapped. After Zoe inquired about the steps of making Padma in detail, he thought for a while: "Did you make it while mixing? What a mistake? After adding the hellebore syrup, you need to stir it clockwise twice and then turn it counterclockwise the same number of times."

"Merlin's beard, I remember!" Padma leaned back on the couch, "I only used clockwise stirring twice... Actually only because of the two stirrings, I had to take the potions exam. Do you have an A (pass) on your back? Professor Snape said that next year's NEWTs potions class will only accept the best batch!"

"Don't be so pessimistic, Padma. Even with such a small mistake, you can easily reach the standard." At this time, a girl who Zoe didn't know came up cautiously from the side. She pinched the hem as if I want to say something but dare not say it.

"Siegel, can you please help me analyze the potions exam?" Her voice was very small, and she had to listen carefully to hear everything.

Zoe blinked. "Me?" The girl nodded in confusion."Of course, if this causes you trouble, I, I can also ask other people..." As if worried that Zoe would be disgusted with her, she said quickly.

"...It's okay, I'm quite free now." Although it doesn't feel bothersome, Zoe is still at a loss, especially when she noticed that several people nearby showed expectant smiles because she agreed to the girl's request. , I feel inexplicable.

In order not to appear procrastinated, Zoe deliberately chose a more understandable method to help the girls sort out, all because of her rich experience summed up under the strict education of Professor Snape.She first talked about the written test of the potions class, and answered in detail several questions raised by the girl, and then helped her sort out the steps in the practice test. The girl’s finished product of vitality tonic medicine was somewhat flawed, and it would be better than normal after use. The finished product is more energetic, but it can't restrain the heat all over, as if a large stove is lit in the body.

When Zoe finished explaining with the girl, she moved back uncomfortably (because she found that because she was listening too attentively, the distance between the girl and her had exceeded her psychological expectation of distance from strangers), but when she raised her head When I came, I was even more shocked. Behind the girl, there were a few people standing there, waiting in a line and standing there nervously, looking at her from time to time.

"Isn't that good?" When the fourth person thanked her and left, Zoe finally had time to get out of his position as a lecturer. She seemed to be complaining to Padma, but Padma laughed and teased her. "The way you teach is easy to understand, and you won’t become impatient because others ask questions repeatedly, let alone Professor Snape’s proud pupil. I’ve heard many people want to ask you to answer the lesson. Some people have wanted to do this since last year."

"Then why did they suddenly come over now? I didn't do anything, don't you know it's scary to do this?" When another fifth grader who got good feedback from a friend came to the door, although he felt uncomfortable, he explained Not a big deal at all.But this time she was surprised, not just about potions, the student even asked her some questions about spells, and finally checked with Zoe about the answers to the written test of the history of magic, and then smiled with her. Wave goodbye.

"You have been very popular recently. Because of Umbridge’s admission to the hospital, all the students in the school now know that we organized a DA group before, not just those extraordinary rebellions we did, even what you did in DA. It's all spread out too-including the fact that you will be a patron saint." Padma said with a sly smile, "Thanks to this matter, even my attention has greatly increased. But this is a good thing. , Isn't it? There are no more people in this school who will misunderstand you."

"Which idiot is spreading this private information everywhere?" Zoe said grimly, "I think they are treating me as a rare magical animal? I don't want to be stared at by a bunch of people everywhere!"

"Don't do this, Zoe. When they notice what you are, they will like you. Compared to potential enemies, the increase in companions is more reassuring, isn't it?" A light from the front suddenly flashed. Zoe jumped up as if stung by a scorpion, and rushed to the few Ravenclaw students in front of him with a ferocious face, and pulled out a little boy holding a magic camera from it. She snatched the boy's hand. The camera inside took away the photo that was slowly spitting out, and it happened to be her frowning and annoyed talking.

"What's the matter?" Luna, who had just finished class, got into the common room and just happened to ran into a weird picture of a boy kneeling on the ground and crying loudly. In front of the boy was a pile of scrap parts and smoking.

"Zoe cruelly smashed their precious camera and shut them down." Padma fanned the flames.

"He's taking pictures of me!" Zoe shouted angrily, "I am a prefect, and I gave him enough money to buy a new one!"

"It's good to have money." Padma shrugged, "I also want to experience the thrill of throwing money." You must know that the price of a magic camera on the market is still quite expensive.

"What do you do with the photo?" Luna asked in confusion, "Is it okay to ask me directly?"

"How do I know those fools--" Zoe's voice was interrupted by Padma."Of course it is used for collection, just like collecting magic cards. Do you think I can use my advantage as a friend to pick up the bargain, and then sell your photos to become a rich man, Miss Millionaire?"

Zoe rolled his eyes: "Don't talk about it. There is no such thing as an idiot with money and nowhere to spend in this world."

Padma noticed that Luna shook her head in disapproval, but she opened her lips together and muttered a word. She didn't understand what Luna was talking about, but Zoe flushed and punched her in anger. .

"She's not an idiot!" After that, she cried out without thinking.

"How are you going to spend the next week?" Padma changed the subject. After the exam, until the summer vacation, students in the fifth and seventh grades can still have a full week of free time, which they can freely control. During this period of time, there is neither class nor homework. After a busy year, I have to say that this period of free time is like a reward for hard work.

"I haven't thought about it. I probably still boil some potions every day or pass the time in the library. But I will make an appointment with Professor Flitwick later." Padma sincerely invites them to walk around and relax, and strongly Condemned Zoe's "lifeless" daily plan.
