Chapter 102: “End of Semester Year”

Time passed swiftly, and the peaceful days went by in a blur.

Day by day, the cold winter gave way to a sultry summer, and the castle buzzed with anticipation for the upcoming final exams.

The Transfiguration classes were taken over by other teachers, with Professor Sinistra now teaching the first years.

Since the series of incidents that plagued Hogwarts, there hadnt been any more accidents in the castle.

As the final exams approached, everyone had to set aside the unpleasant events of the past six months, including the Vampire teacher who had taught them for half a year.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

It was time to focus on their studies, memorizing complex potion formulas, recalling spells and magical knowledge, and learning about the significant moments in magical history, such as the invention of the Skelle-gro Potion and the Goblin Rebellions.

Hogwarts had high academic standards.

Any grade below an A required retaking the course in the following year.

If a student had three grades below an A, they risked repeating the year or even expulsion.

However, Matthew was likely unconcerned about such matters.

Hermione immersed herself in studying day and night, approaching the final exams with unwavering determination.

Due to the sweltering weather, the students remained in the large classroom while answering their exam questions.

After completing the Charms exam, Hermione burst into tears, citing exhaustion from studying late into the night as the cause of her poor performance.

Several Ravenclaw girls rushed to comfort her, understanding the pressure she had been under.

During the practical exams that followed, Matthew excelled.

He effortlessly transformed a white mouse into a snuffbox with an exquisite pattern, eliciting approving glances even from the stern Professor Sinistra.

Thankfully, none of them needed to repeat the year or face expulsion.

The next day, the scarlet-red Hogwarts Express stopped on the tracks at Hogsmeade Station. The stations steam locomotive emitted its cheerful siren.

The students suitcases and pets had been sent onto the train by the house-Elves the previous night.

Under Professor Kettleburns guidance, the first-year students boarded the train, filling it with laughter and chatter.

They watched the countryside outside the window grow greener and cleaner, listening to the rhythmic sound of the wheels rolling on the tracks.

The train passed through Muggle towns one after another.

They indulged in chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, eagerly discussing their excitement for the upcoming summer vacation.

Finally, the train arrived at Platform 9 at Kings Cross Station.

See you next semester! Matthew bid farewell to Draco, Theodore, Vincent, and Gregory.

After disembarking, he spotted Neville and Hermione waiting for him.

With Hermione were Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students Parvati Patil and Padma Patil.

Neville, Ive already decided. Well see you in Diagon Alley soon! Matthew smiled at Neville.

Well, goodbye! Neville nodded.

Goodbye, Matthew! Hermione waved.

After bidding farewell to his friends, Matthew confidently entered the spacious fireplace room adjacent to the station.

Emerald green flames danced and crackled in the fireplaces all around.

With this, Matthews first semester is coming to an end.
