v3 Chapter 218： Hermione's exam

Three minutes, four minutes, two and a half minutes...

Groups of students entered the examination room, but no one could leave awake! The only difference between each group is the duration of persistence.

The faces of the students gradually became ugly, especially when they saw the candidates who entered the examination room before them leaving the examination room with a pale face and a tired expression, everyone was even more nervous. Moreover, the people who had taken the exam before were expelled from the exam room by Professor Lupin as soon as the exam was over, which also made everyone ignorant of the specific situation of the exam.

Of course, two of those people were sober: Harry and Hermione. They can all guess the reason for the extremely low pass rate for this exam.

It's Tom, Professor Lupin has Tom in this exam!

After seeing Tom's strength that night, Harry felt that at the level of himself and other students, it would be difficult to survive under Tom's hands for ten seconds.

But the strange thing is that those candidates did not disperse, but wandered around the examination room with a sore face.

Professor Lupin was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Tom to be so serious and treat all the students who came over equally. Taking into account the physical and mental overdrafts brought about by the continuous battle, Professor Lupin can only say that he still underestimated his classmate Yodel.

The only thing Lupin regrets now is not putting Tom on the last level, which makes some preparations not working.

Looking at the progress, Lupin felt a headache: more than half of the students have participated in the exam, but no one has entered the final exam!

According to the regulations, none of these people can be "excellent", but if they really get wiped out, how can I explain to Dumbledore? Even though I... but I can't break the jar.

If things go on like this, the only way is to lower the grading standard, Lupin sighed secretly.

"The next group, Padma Patil and... Hermione Granger!" Lupin's eyes lit up, Hermione's strength, Lupin felt that it was on par with Tom. If Hermione consumes a wave of Tom's energy, the pass rate for the next candidates will be higher.

However, is this unfair to those who take the test first? The thought flashed through Lupin's mind, but he pressed it again. How can there be absolute justice in this world? The exams of other professors can't guarantee a bowl of level. Just like Snape, whoever stands behind him during the exam will not perform well. Where do these candidates go to reason?

Padma, who was called, was very nervous. She took Hermione's hand and said to her tremblingly, "Boss, it's all up to you! Little sister doesn't seek excellence, just pass..."

Hermione had no choice but to keep comforting her partner, telling her "it's not a big problem", "normal", "take a deep breath"... But obviously, these clichés did not inspire Padma very well.

"It's alright, I'm very familiar with Tom's various spells." In the end, Hermione could only say this, and then temporarily appease Padma.

In fact, Hermione herself wasn't sure. Against Tom's Charm, she couldn't guarantee she could beat Tom.

But Hermione had no choice.

After putting on the bracelet, she set off with her partner Padma.

After stepping into the examination room, the environment suddenly changed, and what appeared in front of Hermione was a deep pond.

"Be careful, I suspect there will be Grindillo in the pond." Hermione first picked up a stone from the shore and threw it into it. The stone disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, proving that the water here is deeper than expected.

Mentioning Grindillo, Padma immediately remembered the point of dealing with Grindello taught in class: fingers.

"I hope there are no murlocs." Hermione prayed. Fighting murlocs in water is not a good option, and the murlocs have tamed Grindylo and the murlocs keep them as pets, so the murlocs are likely to launch coordinated attacks with Grindylo.

Fortunately, Professor Lupin was very "forgiving" to the little wizards in the third grade, and he didn't stuff a few murlocs into the pond.

Hermione and Padma were only attacked by a few Grindillos halfway through. To deal with them, you can shake them off with a single pull-off spell.

After swimming through the pond, the two came to a pothole.

"Fluorescent flashing!" A shimmer of light emerged from the tip of the two's sticks, illuminating the way forward for them.

"Be careful!" Hermione pulled Padma quickly.

"It's a mud puddle." Hermione pointed her wand at the spot where Padma had nearly landed. Fluorescence dispelled the darkness, revealing what was there: not solid ground, but a mess of mud.

"Look." Hermione shook her wand, illuminating the ground in front of her. What appeared in front of them was a swamp, coupled with the environment of potholes, Hermione suddenly felt that Tom might not have defeated all the people before...

"There's light over there, do we want to go take a look?" Padma saw that there seemed to be a light in the front left, so she suggested that Hermione go over and take a look.

Hermione suddenly thought of a magical animal: the hinkpunk. This animal is active in the swamp, has no body, and looks like a puff of smoke. It will light a lamp at night and lure pedestrians into the quagmire.

Shouldn't that be going in the opposite direction? Hermione's heart began to struggle. Because this Hinkpunk may also be the clue that Professor Lupin stayed here, you need to go to it and solve a certain task before you can enter the next level.

In the end, Hermione made a decision: go in the opposite direction!

Because the light is there, if the opposite direction is wrong, just walk towards the light.

After talking about this conjecture to Padma, Padma chose to listen to the boss - hugging thighs must have the consciousness of hugging thighs!

The two walked in the opposite direction with a deep foot and a shallow foot. The further away from the spot of light, the more shaky Hermione became. At this moment, the bell on Hermione's feet suddenly rang.

"Armor!" She quickly cast an iron armor spell on herself, followed by a strong wind that cut through the air and a "bang", Hermione felt that her iron armor spell was shattered, but the attacker Also bounced off by the reaction force.

"What's wrong?" Padma looked confused Hermione raised her wand, and a dwarf-like guy appeared in Padma's field of vision. The monster also had a broken wooden stick in his hand. .

Hermione clicked. "It's the red hat. It looks like we might be overestimating Tom's strength."

She made up a spell at random, knocking out this guy who likes to sneak attack with a wooden stick.

"I'll bet there's a bunch of red hats around that hinkpunk - that kind of thing attracts other magical beasts, and if we get there we'll probably be stunned by the sticks."

Uh-huh! Padma nodded again and again, feeling that she and Hermione were teaming up with a lot of luck!

After the two solved the red hat, they continued to set off.
