Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 159 Slytherin Heroes

   It is said that after Easter, the final exam will come soon, and this is really not wrong at all.

  The Hogwarts exam is in mid-June, and the exam time for each grade is almost the same. Of course, the written examinations are all staggered and proctored by the professors of the school.

  The weather in June is very sultry, and everyone is crowded in the classroom to take the exam, which is even more unbearable.

  The written test starts at 9:30 in the morning, and the first test is Charms. Students need to be seated according to their number. By the way, the invigilator is Professor McGonagall.

  Everyone looked nervous, but Albert didn't pay much attention. He just found it very novel. The Hogwarts exam reminded him of his college exam in his previous life.

  On the table, there are new quills, ink bottles and parchment issued by Hogwarts for the exam. It is said that the quill, ink, and parchment are all read with anti-cheating spells, and the so-called anti-cheating spells are just like that in Albert's view.

  As the biggest cheater among this year's candidates, these things must not work for him.

   After everyone sat down and quieted down, Professor McGonagall announced the start of the exam. Then she turned a huge hourglass on the table upside down and set it aside.

  The moment Albert opened the exam paper, he found a new task appeared on his panel:

  In the name of genius.

You are recognized as a gifted student among the freshmen this year. Since you are a gifted student, you should prove your strength with the grades that match the genius. Exams are nothing more than that.

   Reward: 1400 experience.

   Albert curled his lips involuntarily, and his eyes fell on Katrina, who was in the fourth seat in the third row to his right. After reading the questions, that guy began to write the answer.

  He looked down at the first question on the test paper:

  a) Write a spell that causes objects to fly;

  b) Describe the action of waving a wand.

  …

   "Well, it's easier than expected."

   Half an hour later, Albert wrote all the answers on the parchment, and then spent another five minutes checking it. After making sure that there were no mistakes, he began to sleep on the table.

   No way, who made the exam last for two full hours?

  However, the Slytherin student behind Albert was a little surprised when he found that the guy in front of him actually started to sleep.

For Albert Anderson, even the students of Slytherin know something, it is said that he is a genius, he is very good at studying, and he is also good at Quidditch. Student Lin gritted his teeth. It is said that many people wanted to trouble Anderson, but they were all frustrated. There was a big news a while ago.

   Said that he can't do the test paper, and no one believes it. The only explanation is that the guy has already finished writing.

   Already completed the exam?

  Is this exam really that simple?

  The Slytherin student looked at his test paper, then looked up at the guy lying in front of him, and began to wonder if the test papers of the two sides were different?

  Probably feeling that someone was coming to him, Albert raised his head, and it was Professor McGonagall with an unfriendly expression.

   Albert picked up the upside-down parchment, raised his hand and pointed to it, indicating that he had finished the test paper.

  Professor McGonagall picked up the test paper and glanced at it, then silently put it back on the table, and said nothing more, letting Albert continue to lie on his stomach.

   As for submitting papers in advance?

   That will affect other people's exams, unless there are special reasons, it is impossible.

   "You guy actually slept for more than an hour? Are the test papers we use different?" After the exam, Fred and George wrapped their arms around Albert's neck and couldn't help complaining.

   "Here, the test paper." Albert handed the test paper to George, "It feels quite simple."

   "Easy?" Lee Jordan said feebly.

   "As long as you listen carefully in class, take notes in class, and read it several times after class, you will definitely be able to easily get excellent." Albert showed an expression that must be because you didn't review it seriously.

   "Shut up, don't mention this again." The three of them stretched out their hands to cover Albert's mouth, so as not to be beaten by the other party.

   In the afternoon there was a practical exam for Charms. Professor Flitwick called them into the classroom one by one in alphabetical order, so Albert was the first again. The exam consisted of casting a spell on a pineapple and tap-dancing across a desk.

   In fact, it is a test of the dancing spell and the control over the spell. Of course, Albert was not troubled by this, he did it easily.

The exam for the Transfiguration class was on the next day, and the written exam was also not difficult. After Professor McGonagall saw that Albert easily transformed a mouse into an exquisite silver snuffbox with the Hogwarts badge mark, he did not pursue him in the exam. The sleeping thing is gone.

  The more exquisite the box, the higher the score; Albert's work of art is directly full marks, of course, the so-called full marks refer to excellence.

   Points will be deducted if the mouse whiskers are still on the box. Fred also complained about it, and he still had a faint beard mark on his ashtray, so he was deducted points.

   What Albert found more interesting was the practical exam of Potions.

  The content of the assessment is that the forgetting potion needs to be prepared within two hours.

   This is actually not a difficult task, after all, there are only a few potions prepared in the whole school year, but... it is not easy to prepare it with Snape standing behind and watching closely.

   Whenever Snape appeared behind a certain student without warning, he would add a negative buff to the other party, causing the student's heartbeat to speed up, hands and feet to fluster, and sometimes even operational errors and other symptoms.

  …

  The last exam was History of Magic. It was a rather boring exam. Albert had read all the so-called important points before the exam. There were no surprises in answering the questions, and he passed the exam steadily.

   When Professor Binns told them to put down their quills and roll up the answer parchment, the classroom erupted in cheers.

  The exam is over, they are finally free, and they can easily play for a whole week until the exam results are announced.

   "Let's go, I invite you to drink butter beer to celebrate." Albert called his roommate to leave before Katrina came over.

   "Going to Hogsmeade?" Lee Jordan asked in a low voice.

   "No, I've got Owl Mail Order."

   "Owl, which one do you mean?" Fred pointed to an owl flying this way, and it threw the package it was holding in front of Albert.

   "What is this?" Fred picked it up suspiciously, and he pulled out the card on it and handed it to Albert.

   "It must be a book." George said with certainty.

   "Why."

   "Every package in this shape usually contains books."

   "Can you open it?" Fred looked at Albert.

   "Open it." Albert glanced at the card, and George really guessed it right. The book is called "Comprehensive Explanation of Basic Runes", and it was sent by Mr. McDougal. It is said that it has just been published.

  After the final exams, everyone spent the campus time before the summer vacation leisurely.

   The Slytherin team finally defeated the Hufflepuff team, even if they won in a crushing way, they still missed the Quidditch trophy.

   Who made the Slytherin team lose to Gryffindor?

   The culprit who caused all this was still a freshman, which made most of the Slytherin students furious.

   And, worst of all, they might lose not only the Quidditch Trophy, but the final House Cup as well.

  Currently, Gryffindor College is still ahead of Slytherin College with a slight advantage of 15 points, and now there are only a few days left before the year-end party.

Albert didn't pay much attention to these things. He was reading a book under a tree on the shore of the lake. Not far from him, the Weasley brothers and Lee Jordan were using branches to fiddle with the sunbathing lying in the warm shallow water. Big squid.

  During the period before the holiday, the four of them often came here to pass the time, and occasionally discussed how to get revenge on Filch and those guys who wanted to trouble them.

   "What's the matter?" Albert closed the "Basic Rune Complete Explanation", looked up at Katrina who appeared in front of him.

   "I'm ready." Katrina glanced at the book in Albert's hand and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go to Ravenclaw?"

   "Why do you want to go? I have friends here, and I have a good life." Albert nodded towards the three people by the lake, "At least, they are better off than you."

   "I have friends too." Katrina understood what Albert said, and stared at Albert dissatisfied, as if she had no friends.

"Are we going to the Ravenclaw Tower now?" Albert changed the topic, and just about to stand up, he noticed four Slytherin students walking towards this side not far away, meeting their eyes After going up, Albert knew that these four guys had bad intentions.

  Katrina noticed the momentary change on Albert's face, turned her head to look at the four senior students walking this way, frowned slightly and said, "You seem to be in trouble."

   "Trouble, I don't see any trouble." Albert said lightly.

   While the two were talking, four Slytherin students had already walked towards this side.

   "Look, who we met, the famous Mr. Albert Anderson." A Slytherin student grinned maliciously.

   "If I were you, I wouldn't provoke trouble at this time." Albert raised his finger and pointed behind several people.

   "Who is this trick trying to deceive? Do you think we are idiots?" Someone stared at Albert and sneered disdainfully.

   "Perhaps, we should cooperate with him." Someone rubbed his fists, as if preparing to fight.

   "That'll make you even stupider." Someone had already drawn their wand.

   "I've practiced it before. It's fine to beat you guys with bare hands." Albert signaled Katrina to stay aside, and I'm not alone. "

   "You actually plan to bully the freshmen in front of Professor Babling." Katrina couldn't help frowning, suddenly feeling that the four of them were a little stupid.

   No, it should be said that Albert was deliberately using words to induce them. He wanted these four guys to do it, so that Professor Babling happened to see four senior Slytherin students bullying a Gryffindor freshman.

  What will be the result?

   Katrina guessed without thinking.

  The three Georges on the shore of the lake also noticed the changes here, and they all drew out their wands and prepared to come over to help fight.

   However, all three slowed down, hid their wands behind their backs, and prepared to watch a good show.

   The four Slytherin students obviously didn't believe Albert's low-level nonsense. They probably thought that Albert wanted to distract them and take the opportunity to attack them.

   So, they did it.

  One of them jumped directly at Albert, planning to use his size advantage to push Albert to the ground and give him a hard lesson.

  The latter just dodged to the side, raised his foot and tripped the other party directly.

  The other one was holding a wand and was about to cast a spell, but Albert was the first to disarm.

   "Stop, what the **** are you doing?" Professor Babling saw this scene, from momentary astonishment to anger.

  The two who had already drawn out their wands and were about to cast a curse on Albert froze in place.

   "Professor...we're just here to..."

"Do you think I'm blind?" Professor Babling stared at the four of them, and coldly spit out the final verdict: "Twenty points from Slytherin, everyone, I'll tell Severus, maybe he You should be put in confinement for a few days, lest you bully the new students in school just after the exam."

  The faces of the four of them suddenly darkened.

   "Good morning, Professor Babling." Albert greeted Professor Gu Mowen with a smile.

   "You probably haven't received my note, have you?" Professor Babling looked at Albert, nodded and said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you."

   "Good professor." Albert spread his hands helplessly towards the four Slytherin students, "I told you."

  Before Albert and Professor Babling left, he turned to the girl and said, "By the way, Katrina, let's postpone that matter for now!"

   "Bastard, give me back my wand." The Slytherin student saw that Albert left with his wand, and his nose was almost crooked.

   "Oh, what did I just hear?" Fred looked at the gloomy Slytherin student with a strange look, "Now, Slytherin is directly at the bottom."

   "You bastards, wait for me."

   "Go, go back and tell everyone the good news." Li Qiaodan laughed happily, "Now, Slytherin House is completely ruined."

   "Yes, go back and tell everyone!" After Fred finished speaking, he returned to the common room with his dormmates, leaving Katrina with a surprised face and the Slytherin students with distorted expressions.

In the afternoon, the students passing by the hall quickly realized the change in points. The points of Slytherin House were suddenly deducted by 80 points, and they became the bottom of the college in an instant. With the publicity of Fred and others, Slater Lin's four became celebrities in an instant. They made trouble for freshmen in front of a professor, and of course they were deducted points.

  The four Slytherin students became "heroes" among countless people at once, and the Slytherin students naturally didn't give the four "traitors" a good look. Because of their "brainless behavior", Slytherin directly lost the final chance to compete for the Academy Cup.

  Of course, Snape's face was also very dark. After all, a professor directly pointed out that several senior students in his college actually licked their faces to bully a freshman.
