v2 Chapter 129： Pre-exam mock exam

"I... I can help you look at the topics in the paper..." She said timidly.

​​

Tom gave a wicked smile, "Then say to me: I want your test paper. I'll give you the test paper after that."

​​

"I... I want your... paper!"

​​

After she finished speaking, she looked at Tom, but found that Tom was looking at her with a half-smile, Hermione was a little impatient: "You are playing tricks on me again! I—"

​​

"Yes, it's really fun to make fun of Granger!" Tom admitted frankly.

​​

The reason why Hermione was so cringe was essentially because using tricks to get exam papers from the teacher was definitely cheating. As a good student who works hard to abide by the school rules, such behavior is too "degenerate" in her own eyes.

​​

But Tom gave Hermione the paper before she broke out, lest she pull out her wand and give him an English massage.

​​

After such a "contest", Tom regained the lead in the competition between the two - before he asked Hermione to seize the weakness and was "moped" crazily, and now he took the opportunity to regain a victory.

​​

Hermione, who had taken the paper, was like a full cat, ignoring Tom, and concentrated on writing the paper. The question was answered in no time. When the paper was finished, Hermione kicked Tom and handed it over.

​​

"Let me see your grades," Tom took the still-ink paper from Hermione. He swept it over and was a little surprised to find that Hermione got a perfect score.

​​

"Okay!" Tom exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. This set of papers is still 20 multiple-choice questions. It is not difficult to choose the correct answer, but it is difficult to choose all the correct answers.

​​

"That's it!" Hermione also happily took the paper, as if she had accomplished something big.

​​

The sun shines through the window and shines on her test paper, making the surface of the wet ink gleam brightly.

​​

……

​​

The classroom is full of salsa of quills swiping across the paper.

​​

The ink on the test paper flashed a gleam of light. Percy put down the pen in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

​​

"Today's questions are really not small." He thought to himself. Sunlight shone through the classroom windows and onto his small desk—the same one used for the o.w.l. exams, and Tom copied the exam almost exactly in pursuit of its authenticity. From venue to time, from parchment to quill, it's all the same.

​​

Percy glanced at his exam paper to make sure there were no low-level mistakes. He still had a few questions that he wasn't sure about in this exam, but he was very careful to leave it blank, and there was no option for Hu Meng to go up. Because Tom said that there may be changes in the format of the exam this year. It is said that the Wizarding Examination Board has changed the format of the questions and added multiple-choice questions that will deduct points. Faced with this kind of question, it is better to skip the question if you don't know it.

​​

After reading his papers, Percy glanced at Wood, who was sitting near him. At this time, Wood, blushing, was writing hard, the only thing that could make him stop was to dip the quill in ink.

​​

Clang! With a crisp sound, Wood's face instantly turned ashen.

​​

"It's time for the exam, all candidates put down their pens and stop answering the questions." Tom tapped the hourglass on the table and made a clear sound.

​​

The little wizards stopped their pens one after another, folded the scroll and placed it at the corner of the table.

​​

With a wave of his wand, Tom skillfully used the Flying Spell to collect the exam papers of the little wizards in the classroom.

​​

Tom took out his improved automatic marking machine, stuffed the test paper in, and the alchemy machine quickly marked the test paper. During the period of waiting for the results, the atmosphere in the classroom was even more tense than during the exam.

Cassandra narrowed her eyes in the audience. She noticed that the professor's alchemy creation seemed to be more advanced, and now she was able to correct short answer questions!

​​

This is natural, not to mention Tom's gradually proficient alchemy, this machine was manipulated by Dumbledore. Not to mention, the effect is not bad... Although I occasionally make mistakes with artificial mental retardation, the scoring efficiency is still very amazing.

​​

The principle is not difficult, just write some keywords for the short answer questions before the test, and then write the standard answer, the machine will refer to it when grading the paper, and finally give the score. Accuracy is close, but at least there is speed. Besides, for the mock test, the scores are just for reference. Adjusting your mentality and adapting to the exam is the most important thing.

​​

Tom sent out the graded test papers, along with the reference answers.

​​

"Proofread by yourself. If there is anything you don't understand, you can discuss it with each other."

​​

The voice fell, and there was a humming sound in the classroom.

​​

"Ah! I really shouldn't have been delaying this question for so long!" Wood shouted, holding his head, looking extremely annoyed, "I didn't have time to read the last big question!"

​​

Percy glanced at it. The difficulty of the questions in this exam did not increase in steps, but the last question was rather easy.

​​

"Ah! Even if you only give me five minutes!" Wood also discovered this.

​​

"If you go through the paper in general after you get it, you won't make such a low-level mistake." Cassandra, who was sitting diagonally in front of Wood, said arrogantly. Wood's voice just now was so loud that the entire classroom could hear it, but Cassandra, who was diagonally opposite him, could hear it clearly.

​​

"Of course, I can understand your behavior without the big picture."

​​

As arrogant as always, but it makes sense, Wood can only bow his head and sullen.

​​

After discussing for nearly half an hour, with the help of the reference answers, the little wizards solved the problems they encountered internally.

​​

"Okay This is the end of this mock test. It's not a few days until o.w.l., here, I wish everyone a good test." Tom bowed to the students, and the students also reported With applause.

​​

"Everyone here, you may have different careers in the future. Some people want to go to the Ministry of Magic, some people may become a Quidditch player, and some students may inherit the family business," Tom paused. , glanced at Cassandra, "Of course, someone may open a magic shop..."

​​

"No matter who you choose to be, I hope the knowledge I teach you this school year can help you, and I hope you can develop the ability to think independently and learn by yourself this year."

​​

A student laughed, "Professor, why are you saying this like a farewell speech!"

​​

The classroom is full of cheerful air. In the eyes of the students, Professor Lockhart taught very well, how could he not teach next year? As for the curse? Professor Lockhart is best at breaking curses!

​​

"It is indeed the case. After this school year is over, I will resign from the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

​​

The classroom was silent for a while.

​​

"Professor, is it because of a curse?" The boy who just spoke said bitterly. To the little wizards at Hogwarts, their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was like opening a blind box. This time, it’s not easy to be more reliable, and it turns out that I still teach for a year and leave!

​​

How did they accept this!
