Chapter 35： end of school term

The appearance of this organization gave Schelling a very bad premonition.

He has a hunch that Harry Potter’s original world has gradually deviated from the original trajectory. Perhaps the shadow of the dragon is just the beginning. In the near future, there will be more hidden forces and underground forces. To come out.

He thought about it for a moment, and then put it aside. After all, he was still a student, and even if there was a big problem, wouldn’t Dumbledore stand it up!

After Schelling got the information he needed, he first made some arrangements on Peter Pettigrew, and then waved his wand to wake him up.

The dwarf Peter who woke up didn't know how he was hypnotized, but he no longer had the slightest disdain for the immature boy before him, and his attitude became very respectful, "Master Malfoy, now I have Prove that you are your most faithful servant. Do you need me to do anything for you?"

Schelling nodded and said, "I don't need you to be with me. I want you to go to the forest in Albania to help me find the remnant soul of your old master, and then re-loyal to him."

Hearing the name of the mysterious person, Peter Peter was so scared that he couldn't help trembling in his voice, and said, "Master, don't you want me to stay next to that person and be your undercover... That person can see through people's hearts." , I can't do it..."

Schelling looked at Pettigrew Peter back and forth with scrutinizing eyes, making him feel that all his secrets were invisible. Schelling knew that Peter Pettigrew was actually evasive. His Occlumency is not weak. He can hide Dumbledore from the Order of the Phoenix and inform Voldemort. Although the maintenance of James and others is the main reason, he must have done it himself. It was impossible for Dumbledore to see through the strength of the secret, at least Dumbledore could not confirm that he was a traitor with dementia, but he had doubts about his behavior.

However, Schelling does not intend to entangle himself with Peter Pettigrew on this topic.

Xie Lin said: "Don't worry, you just need to come back to him and do things for him. I don't need you to undercover for me or pass on any information. Believe me, the return of the mysterious man is just a matter of time, as he loses power. The first person to find him and assist him will have unexpected benefits. I have my own plan here, and you don’t need to care about it."

Peter Pettigrew’s blinking eyes revealed that he was doing all kinds of calculations in his heart, and finally he replied: "Well, I promise you, Master, if there is a chance one day, I will repay you for your favor today."

Little Dwarf took a blood tonic and a magic recovery potion that Xie Lin handed him. After feeling that his body was almost recovered, he Apparated and left the Forbidden Forest.

Schelling is very confident that Peter Pettigrew can find Voldemort. Peter Pettigrew was able to use the help of rodents in the vast forest. This is how he found the remnant of Voldemort in the original book. Voldemort also rescued Barty Crouch Jr. with his help. Advance the plot of the 4th grade.

Schelling has planted on him the unique tracking magic of the house elf (he briefly summoned Dobby to cast it), and as long as Schelling wanted, he could make Dobby bring his own apparition to him at any time. Even Schelling added some ingredients to the potion that Peter Pettigrew drank. If Voldemort uses the flesh and blood of Peter Pettigrew to resurrect according to the plot, it is bound to give him a big surprise.

Schelling thought of this, and immediately smiled contentedly for his various ingenuities.

After this incident, the exam week began.

The test topic of the transformation class is to turn a teapot into a turtle. Schelling’s performance is not mentioned. Anyway, from Professor McGonagall’s smile, it’s not difficult to infer that it must be a full mark. Meredith missed a bit and turned the turtle a little Like a turtle, Daphne forgot to add nails to the tortoise's feet.

The test question of the curse class was indeed a happy curse. Shelin, who knew the question beforehand, had already trained all the little snakes in Slytherin, so none of the little snakes were left behind, and all of them got full marks.

The next morning, Hagrid presided over an exam to protect magical animals. The topic of the exam is to take care of Flobber caterpillars. To pass the exam, they must ensure that their Flobber caterpillars are still alive in an hour. This is the easiest exam. This made the students very happy, but none of them thought that in the whole semester, they actually learned nothing except the Eagle Horse in the first class and the Salamander afterwards. Xie Lin shook his head secretly. He didn't learn the real knowledge, but what good is it for the test?

In the afternoon, I took the potion test. It was Slytherin's performance time. The topic happened to be the confusion potion. Half an hour before the end of the test time, the little snakes had already turned in the completed potions, except for Gore who accidentally added it. Except that too much water made the potion not thick enough, the other little snakes got full marks if there were no accidents.

I took an astronomy test in the middle of the night, on the top of the tallest tower. Then on Wednesday the exam was the history of magic and herbal medicine.

Thursday morning is the penultimate exam, which is Defence Against the Dark Arts. Professor Lu Ping came up with the most unusual test question they have ever tested, which is an outdoor test similar to an obstacle course. They have to wade through a deep pond with Grindillo, through a series of potholes full of red hats, through the swamp, ignoring Xinkpunk’s misinformation, and then climb into an old box and follow A Bogut wrestled.

Sherin, Daphne, Meredith, and Draco all got full marks. The rest of the little snakes have done impeccable in the first few items, mainly because there was something wrong with Bogut in the last level-Pansy screamed and rushed out (she saw her ugly), Blaise was brutally brutal. The Eagle Horse was shocked...

The last exam was an alchemy class. Xie Lin successfully repaired a damaged Golden Snitch and got the only full score in the class. Professor Bok has informed Xie Lin to find time to come to the office to learn the restoration of the vanishing cabinet.

After the exam, there are still three weeks before the end of the semester, and the finally liberated students can be seen everywhere happily discussing their summer vacation plans.

Harry was unhappy after the exam. Professor Lupin, whom he liked very much, had decided to resign and leave because Snape had shaken out the fact that he was a werewolf.

This incident put pressure on Dumbledore from the school board. Both Dumbledore and the members of the school board received countless roaring letters from the parents of the students. Even the Daily Prophet could not suppress this incident and had to follow up and report on it. .

Of course, the newspaper editor Barnabas Gufei cleverly picked Fudge out of this muddy water, without mentioning that Lupin’s appointment was approved by the Ministry of Magic.

(Note: In the original book, Fudge’s original words "not many people will allow you to hire werewolves, keep Hagrid, or decide what to teach students without asking the Ministry of Magic." It shows that he knew that Dumbledore hired werewolves, but he chose Silence)

Coupled with Dumbledore’s appointment of Quirrell and Lockhart’s previous convictions, Dumbledore’s ability to hire professors was greatly questioned. The masses began to speak out, hoping that the Ministry of Magic would intervene in this matter and make the process of hiring professors more transparent and fair. ——The principal should no longer decide the appointment of professors alone, but needs to be reviewed by a third party.

At this time, Mr. Gareth Greengrass, a member of the school board, stood up. He voluntarily took on this task, and he took the lead in organizing a "faculty appointment committee". This committee will be responsible for the long-term review of the president's appointment of professors. (The principal is still responsible for finding people, but the committee must agree to be officially hired).

For the sake of fairness, the members of this committee will be composed of two dean-level professors, two school board members, two student parents, and two student representatives, so that the opinions of all stakeholders can be represented.

After a long discussion, the members of the committee were finally finalized. The two deans are Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape. The board members are Gareth himself and Mrs. Selwyn of the Selwyn family. The parents of the students are Lucius Malfoy and Amelia. ·Bones.

And the student representative is of course our protagonist, Schelling Malfoy. Although Schelling is still very young, his reputation and strength have been recognized by most young wizards. Among the other members of the committee, except for Searle Except for Mrs. Wen, everyone has more or less friendship with Xie Lin, and I am happy to see Xie Lin's selection.

Another student representative is Ron Weasley. Although his appointment has surprised many people, this is not surprising at all, because Ron’s appointment involves a lot of political game factors.

According to Schelling’s guess, the person originally preferred by the Dumbledore faction should be Hermione Granger. Her grades and strength are dazzling enough, but it is a pity that she has no background behind her from a Muggle family.

Ron is a good substitute. He and Hermione are good friends. Hermione can be consulted for many things. Ron himself is also from the oldest pure-blood family, and Harry, who wears the aura of the savior. He was still an inseparable friend, so he was forced to this position.

The Malfoy family is obviously the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil. If Lucius returns to the Hogwarts power class, the Malfoy family will account for two of the members of the committee-it must be attractive at other times The things that were criticized, but placed on Xie Lin, who was in the midst of the sky, came naturally, and everything seemed so natural.

At the same time, Harry also learned from Professor Lupin the truth about the Sirius incident twelve years ago, and the fact that Sirius is Harry’s godfather. This made Harry even more frustrated. He finally had the only relative in the world, but because he failed to clean up his charge and was still a wanted man, Harry still couldn’t get rid of the Dursleys he hated. Live with Sirius.

Incidentally, Ron was more difficult to accept than Harry when Lupin confessed the truth.

"What are you talking about? Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew?" he yelled, "No, how is this possible!"

Even though Sirius had promised to give him a new pet to compensate him, he was still a little reluctant, showing that he still has a very deep feeling for Scabbers.

Another thing that bothered Harry was that during the divination exam, the unreliable Professor Trelawney seemed to have made a real prediction: "The Dark Lord lay there alone, without friends, and was abandoned by his men. Now, his servant has been chained for the past twelve years. Tonight, before midnight...This servant will break free from the chains and set off to meet his master. With the help of his servant, the Dark Lord will come back, stronger and more terrifying than before... …"

Harry was very concerned about this prediction, but when he and Ron and Hermione mentioned it, the two sneered at Professor Trelawney's divination ability, and did not regard the prediction as the same thing.

Harry thought things couldn't be worse. As a result, the cruel reality taught him how to be a man.

Harry went to the secret path of the one-eyed female statue on the fourth floor When he wanted to retrieve his invisible cloak, he realized that the cloak had disappeared!

This cloak is very important to Harry, who is not invisible to magic, and it is the only relic left to him by his father, which has a very special meaning. Losing the cloak, let his mood fall to the lowest point.

The only thing that made Harry happier was that Harry and Ron passed every class, even if they only got "pass" in some subjects. At the same time, Harry also retrieved the previously confiscated map of the spot from Lupin. This map has a special meaning to Harry. It is a kind of proof of the deeds left by his father and close friends at the school.

In this semester, Hermione's grades have significantly degraded. She only got fourth place and was overtaken by Meredith and Murray.

Everyone attributed the reason to her too heavy schoolwork, and the pressure of taking 12 courses overwhelmed her, but the real reason was only known in her heart-at the moment before the exam, how much she wished that teenager could do She said cheer, she could give her a word of encouragement, even if it was just a look at her, but she was disappointed...

She no longer remembers crying secretly a few times in the dead of night, she only remembers that she has never been so sad since she was sensible...

But Hermione is Hermione. Now that she saw the report card, instead of falling into depression, her fighting spirit was ignited. She told herself that it was time to let go of all this, regroup, and take responsibility for her life.

She reflected on the mistakes made in this final exam, and finally decided to abandon the divination class and the Muggle studies class so that she could have a normal timetable in the next semester, but she must also return the time converter. To Professor McGonagall.
