v3 Chapter 216： end of term

The voice of "innocence" sounded, and the little wizards onlookers cheered. During the time Tom was flying, the little wizards had figured out how things were going. Newt brought students from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. For them, one side is the honest and amiable Hagrid, and the other side is the hideous Lucius Malfoy. Which side do you support? Isn't it obvious at a glance? The surname "Malfoy" was enough for them to choose.

Hearing the cheers in his ears, Lucius' face turned ashen. He didn't expect that his case would really be overturned.

Seeing the jubilant little wizard, Lucius was furious, and every laugh sounded like a slap in the face, slapping him in the face. He tossed his cloak and left without saying a word.

"Okay, kids, let's go to class." Dumbledore told the little wizards with a smile before sending the officials of the Ministry of Magic away that it was time for them to go to class.

As for Tom and Hermione, they naturally wanted to go back to the castle to rest.

"Colin, why are you here?" Before separating from his classmates, Tom suddenly realized that Colin Creevey was a year younger than him. How could this child appear here? Is he not old enough to take electives?

It was only after I asked that I found out that Colin had also reached the age of taking courses. Faced with course selection, Colin's solution is very simple. Instead of signing up for all the classes like Hermione, he took the time to sit in on all of the Hogwarts courses.

"Then do you have any ideas?" Tom asked him casually, having a little interest in Colin.

"Actually, I'd rather take a course like photography, but Hogwarts doesn't have it... I don't really use Muggle studies, and arithmetic and divination is too brainy, so I don't plan to take it. I'm currently going to take Ancient Rune and "Protection of Magical Creatures class," Colin smiled embarrassedly after finishing speaking, "By the way, senior, do you recommend taking the divination class here?"

Tom certainly doesn't recommend it. The course of divination needs talent. If you don't have talent, why waste your time there?

"Thank you, senior, I'll send you the photo after the photo is developed!" Colin raised the camera in his hand, chasing after the army in a panic.

The turmoil that Tom made is spreading to the whole of Hogwarts little by little. By lunchtime, almost everyone knew that someone had taken to the sky on a hippogriff. Just because of the poor information, most of the little wizards still don't know which two classmates can do such a cool thing.

During lunch, the true identity of the student who rides the hippogriff is revealed. After all, there were so many little wizards who witnessed it at the time, and they couldn't stand the secret at all.

However, just as the classmates around Tom were about to move, Dumbledore stood up. The little wizards fell silent all of a sudden, looking at their principal, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Before the sumptuous food turns your brains into mush, I have something important to announce..."

Dumbledore's eyes wandered around the stage, making sure everyone was listening to him before he continued: "Just now, Mr. Tom Yoder and Miss Hermione Granger took the initiative to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. A dangerous experiment has been carried out to clear the wrongs of an innocent soul. Therefore, I have decided to give Ravenclaw fifty points! In recognition of the amazing courage of Mr. Yordle and Miss Granger!"

Although praising the courage of Ravenclaw students always sounds strange, this does not prevent a burst of warm applause from the long Ravenclaw table. Today's increase of fifty points is enough for Ravenclaw Lao College and the other three colleges further widened the gap and consolidated their advantages. And they also heard good news after class: Gryffindor House was deducted 20 points by their dean today, and the gap between the two houses was further widened, which made it difficult to compete with Ravenclaw House. In the Academy of Cups, there is only one possibility left for Slytherin.

Speaking of which, the professor who deducted Gryffindor scores the most was Snape, and the second most hated was Professor McGonagall, the dean of Gryffindor...

However, fairness and freedom, Professor McGonagall's strictness has won the respect of all teachers and students. Her punishment, almost no one will question - at most, the little lions of Gryffindor will whine a few times.

Tom didn't care much about grades or anything, but seeing Hermione's mouth upturned made him happy too. To him, there was nothing in this world to miss except Hermione. Hermione seemed to have become everything in his world.

After Hermione was mentioned by Dumbledore, she was a little embarrassed, after all, she was completely passively involved in this experiment. But when she turned around and thought, she had indeed participated in this experiment - as the experimental material - so she accepted the honor with peace of mind.

Hermione found that her face had thickened a lot after spending time with Tom. But what she didn't know was that she herself had brought a lot of changes to Tom unknowingly, and it could only be said that they influenced each other.

The applause continued for a while before it gradually subsided. But Dumbledore is like I'm done talking, let's eat, which is very appetizing. At the same time, delicacies appeared on the table: large pieces of roasted meat dripping with oil, stewed dishes in pots, all kinds of fresh fruits piled up into a hill, dishes of salads adorning them, and silver pots in silver pots. Filled with drinks that have taken the wizarding world by storm.

But none of these delicacies could dissuade the little wizard's curiosity, and they didn't even look at it.

A confused look appeared on Dumbledore's face, "This dish is all ready, why don't you eat it? Eat it while it's hot, I've seen today's dish, and it tastes great—"

"Professor Dumbledore, so are Yodel and Granger flying around the castle today?" Fred could no longer suppress his inner doubts, stood up directly, and asked Dumbledore. He wanted to get a real hammer from Dumbledore, and he wanted to hear more details.

Dumbledore was caught in a tangle. Of course he knew the ins and outs of the incident, but he also had his own scruples: If the truth of the matter was told in public, would it hurt Malfoy's emotions? In this story, the Malfoys are uncompromising buffoons...

Forget it, let Tom clean up the mess he left behind, Dumbledore's eyes fell on Tom's face.

Under Dumbledore's gaze, Tom stood up and replied calmly: "Yes, I flew around the school on a hippogriff with Miss Granger this morning. It has been proved by the Ministry that the hippogriff Buckbeak is not a cruel and ruthless beast, it is a magical animal with feelings like our wizards..."

When Tom spoke, Malfoy's face was almost the color of a pig's liver. When he heard Dumbledore mention the Ministry of Magic and Fred's words about "hippies", Malfoy felt that something was wrong. As soon as Tom opened his mouth, he immediately came to the conclusion that it was a Hippogriff wounding case that had a great relationship with him.

The stares from the surrounding students made Malfoy want to find a crack to crawl in, but his instinct told him not to make any moves. So he froze in place, wishing he didn't even blink.

At Ravenclaw's long table, Tom talked about things in general. The surrounding students applauded again. For them, this move is really cool! Several Ravenclaw third-year girls applauded and winked wildly at their best friends.

They are keenly aware of a single element: the sour smell of love in the air! It seems that a certain little witch is about to be tortured!

After the lunch, Hermione was caught by several witches in the same bedroom and the details of the torture were not listed for the time being. After the Hogwarts recruiting ended, life seemed to go by faster.

June came at once. The day became clear and cloudless, and the little witches put on cool summer clothes. The hot and dry weather made everyone just want to slip to the edge of the black lake with a pot of iced drinks, sit under the shade of a tree, do nothing, and spend the whole day doing nothing.

Can only think.

Why? Because for ordinary students, the final exam is coming! Bigger problems for fifth and seventh graders: O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams are coming.

Everyone had to restrain their desires, shut themselves in the lounge, the library to review - even the Weasley twins are seriously reviewing!

Tom felt that Hermione was getting more and more nervous. The pressure of preparing for as many as a dozen courses almost overwhelmed her.

People who take exams often know that the efficiency of reviewing before the exam is often the highest one or two days before the exam. And the two exam formats that students hate the most are four exams in four days, and four exams in one day — and of course the inhumane Saturday exams. Final exam week, your last exam is on Saturday, it's a nightmare!

Tom and Hermione were miserable. They both took the exam for a week, and the number of exams every day was still too many. On Monday, for example, Tom and Hermione have their divination and transfiguration exams at 9:00 a.m., and their spells and ancient runes exams at 1:00 p.m.

Not only Hermione, but Tom felt he was going crazy.

However, under great pressure, there are also good things... For example, after Tom and Hermione finished their review, it was mostly quiet at night, and the lounge was empty. It might be a good idea to end the day with a kiss.

This made Tom usher in the exam week in pain and joy. Monday's divination was normal - nothing to regret except that there was no calculator, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration was the hardest hit, and one question actually made them turn a teapot into a turtle. This is a living thing! Even Tom failed once: the turtle he transformed the first time couldn't move, and it took a second transformation to give a turtle sculpture the ability to move.

So when Tom heard Hermione there complaining that her turtle looked like a turtle, even he didn't want to talk to her.

If I say a word to Hermione today I'll be a dog! At lunch, Tom thought bitterly.

In the afternoon, Tom: "Wow!"

Hermione was still amazing, and she successfully passed the subject of the Charms class before the exam: Happy Charm. Since the exam is this question, no matter how good or bad the exam results are, everyone walks out of the exam room with a smile on their faces. If your partner is average, you're in trouble. Someone nearly missed the exam because of a hysterical, uncontrollable laugh because their partner was a little out of shape.

The next day's Conservation of Magical Creatures class was rumored to be extremely difficult, but it turned out that the high probability was fake news released by Professor Scamander. The exam questions were extremely simple. Newt prepared a group of salamanders for the students, and the students needed to work together to ensure that the group of salamanders was still alive after an hour.

As for the potions class on Tuesday afternoon, Snape asked for a dose of confusion potion. This is a potion that can confuse people. The main ingredients are sneeze grass, bad blood grass and lovage, and the key point is whether it can thicken the potion. If you can't, "excellent" is far away from you.

The astronomy exam is in the middle of the night. It can only be said that fortunately it is summer, not only is it not cold at night, but it is very cool. The history of magic was divided on Wednesday mornings, and the afternoons were the herbal exams, which didn't make much of an impression other than the heat.

Tom's Defence Against the Dark Arts exam was special: he became a part of the exam...  

Generally speaking, the Hogwarts exam is nothing more than a written exam + practical exercises, but Lupin is different. This made countless little wizards still talk about it many years later - especially the fact that each grade will have a little wizard selected by Lupin to become a part of the exam.

The third-year wizard selected by Professor Lupin was Tom.

Tom was stopped and taken away by Professor Lupin after dinner on Wednesday. He took Tom through a series of tests to prove that he was good enough to pass the previous exams, and then told Tom what he needed to do the next day.

So before the exam the next day, Tom disappeared.

"Okay, classmates, the exam starts!" Lupin checked the number of people and announced the start of the exam after confirming that the number of people was complete.

The exam questions are simple: Outdoor Cross Country The little wizards need to pass through a series of obstacles set up by Lupin to reach the finish line. During the period waiting for them, not only all kinds of magical animals, but also people with ulterior motives...

The shorter the time, the higher the score. And for the third-year little wizards, Professor Lupin also gave special permission to allow them to be dispatched in groups of two. The reason is very simple. He believes that the difficulties faced by the third-year little wizards are much higher than those of other grades.

The missing Tom naturally attracted the attention of others, but under the assurance of Professor Lupin, everyone did not take it to heart.

After the lottery was drawn, the exam began.

————

Now everything has to be group-buyed, alas... and the price of group-buy is generally several times higher than the market price, such as 25 per pound of pork and 10 yuan per pound of vegetables.

Fruit is relatively normal. The oranges I got in the group should be the cheapest - only 7 yuan a pound, and then I couldn't control it, and I also spent 240 yuan for 9 kilograms of Chilean prunes.

I hope that three people can eat these 48 pounds of fruit within the shelf life...
