Although he acquired a very magical cooking recipe, Ted did not have time to go to the kitchen and try it out himself because the final exam was already underway this week.
Ted came to the usual classroom with his pen and parchment. Behind him were Hermione who was eager to fight, Harry who was looking around to have some fun, Ron, Jerry and Nana who were anxious. Power.
Ron and Jerry are usually fishing, hiding and copying when they can, and muddle along.
Although they have surpassed the level of most young wizards in terms of magic practice, their theoretical level may still be below average, and they are partial to science~
As for Neville, although he usually works hard and does his homework as much as possible, he has little success. Although I did well in Herbalism and Defense Against Dark Arts, I was unsure about other subjects.
He has learned a lot since reading "Brave Heart" written by Ted to him. He has gained a certain amount of courage and can overcome many difficulties. But when you learn this thing, you can master it. Self-confidence cannot be built in a day or two.
In the examination room, the air seemed to be stagnant, and the students' breathing slowed down involuntarily.
The first test was the Transfiguration class of Professor McGonagall, who was famous for his unsmiling nature.
"Ding~Trigger the task:
[Final Exam (Blue)]
This is your first final exam after enrolling at Hogwarts. It is an evaluation of your learning achievements throughout the school year, so go all out! Don't let your youth down!
Goal: Achieve excellent results in all subjects.
Reward: 350 experience, random cards.
If you want to be recognized as the number one in your grade, it will be ugly if your grades are poor~"
Ted smiled secretly in his heart, I knew, how could this kind of thing not happen in the system?
System: Late but arriving~
Ted: I’m just excellent in all subjects. Is it difficult?
The Transfiguration class exam is divided into two parts. The first part is a written test, in which students can explain the basic principles and taboos of Transfiguration, as well as their own experiences.
Ted wrote on two pieces of parchment. Hermione even wrote on three pieces of parchment.
Ron's heart began to sink as he watched the two people in front of him writing furiously, and when he saw that he had tried his best to write the letters as big as possible but still couldn't make up a piece of paper.
After half an hour, Professor McGonagall asked everyone to put down their pens and the next step was to practice.
The topic is simple, turn a mouse into a snuff box.
That's right, first-year students only learn two things throughout the year, first: turning objects into objects, and second: turning creatures into objects.
However, after a year of learning, not everyone can successfully transform.
Turn a match into a needle, now basically all students can do it.
But turning a mouse into a snuff box is too difficult.
When Ted first came into contact with it, he found it difficult to get started. I had to devote a lot of time to training every day, looking for tips and techniques.
The exam process was not very satisfactory either. You can tell by looking at Professor McGonagall's face, which is as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
The snuff bottle transformed by Ron has a beard, the snuff bottle transformed by Neville has a tail, and the snuff bottle transformed by Jerry has the most distinctive feature - it has four legs. Now he has taken the opportunity to run away, and Jerry is lying on the ground. Try to catch it.
Mr. Seamus once again demonstrated his excellent "artistic" talent. The mouse flew up to the ceiling with smoke and was already half cooked.
Jerry couldn't help but shrink his neck: Shushu, I feel the same~
The difficulty of the transformation technique gave most students a headache, and in the end, only six students were able to complete all the changes.
Only Ted and Hermione did it more perfectly - not only completely deformed, but also very beautiful. The snuff boxes were decorated with gold lines or reliefs, like exquisite works of art.
Professor McGonagall, who was originally having a headache due to his stupid students, finally smiled when he saw the two people's works.
It's the kind of happy smile that farmers see after a year of hard work, looking at the golden waves of wheat, proving that their year's hard work is worth it.
"Very good! Very good! Well done!" Professor McGonagall praised three times in an uncharacteristic manner.
Transfiguration is not an easy field. You are lucky to meet a student who is good at it every year. This year there are two, and they are very good ones.
The Transfiguration exam was like a blow to the head, knocking the freshmen unconscious. The atmosphere became much duller during lunch time.
The seniors in grades 2, 3 and 4 had expressions of gloating on their faces. This may be the happiest day of their year!
The exam in the morning was already so difficult, but the exam in the afternoon was even more devastating.
Because the test in the afternoon was Snape’s Potions class!
Naturally, the exam location was still in the basement. After all, Snape was already an underground worker. Maybe he wasn't used to it on the ground?
Snape stood behind the classroom podium, like a motionless black statue. The light from the brazier on the wall shone on half of his face, making him look like a serial perverted murderer.
That gloomy old face, with just a blank expression, was enough to intimidate any student.
He crossed his arms across his chest and held a wand in his hand, as if he could kill the cheating student at any time.
The students entered the classroom and felt as if they were cursed the moment they crossed the threshold. Their hearts were heavy and they could not think of anything happy.
Snape is simply a humanoid dementor.
"Da da da~" Seeing that everyone was seated, he did not speak, but stretched out his wand and tapped the blackboard. The exam question appeared on the blackboard: Configure the forgetting potion, time 60 minutes.
The moment he saw the title, Neville's heart skipped a beat, because the Forgetting Potion was almost the most profound potion they had studied all year.
From the processing of medicinal materials to the infusion of magic power, there are many taboos in every step. If one wrong step is made, the pot of potion will be completely scrapped, and there is no such thing as a defective product.
Snape was going to kill them!
But at the same time, the friends breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on their lips.
This smile was because Ted had predicted Snape's operation and gave them the forgetting potion, which was a miss!
The psychological pressure was immediately reduced by more than half.
Who was Snape? He was a double-faced ace spy who killed the bosses of both good and evil, and a master of Legilimency. He was very concerned about everyone's microexpressions.
What's more, he had been secretly observing Harley's performance, so he keenly discovered that Harley had a slight smile when she saw the test questions!
Snape: Did Harry inherit Lily's potions talent? Although the performance is okay, it is not stable enough...
The preparation of the forgetting potion is still very cumbersome. The first item, distilled pure water, is enough to keep you busy for a while.
60 minutes is basically the most generous time for normal equipment - that is to say, as long as you make a mistake, there is basically no chance to start over.
First, use distilled water, and at the same time use a sterling silver knife to cut the valerian into sections, the length should be between three and four centimeters.
Add processed valerian to distilled water, heat for 20 seconds, stir clockwise 3 times, then drop in 2 portions of mistletoe berries, crush and filter the juice, stir 5 times counterclockwise, simmer for five minutes, then wave the wand to inject magic. Continue to cook for five minutes, repeat three times, and finally wait to cool down...
If everything is done skillfully and there are no problems, you can get the potion in about 45 minutes. If you are clumsy but there are no problems, 60 minutes will be enough.
But if you make a mistake, don't expect a second chance.
Snape wouldn't let an idiot waste his medicinal ingredients!
Ted and Hermione completed the potion in about forty minutes, and found it to be in good condition.
Hermione even beat Ted by two minutes.
When it comes to potions, Hermione's talent is even more obvious.
However, Snape just looked at it, snorted and ignored it. Instead, he continued to circulate among the students, putting pressure on those students whose psychological quality was not up to par, and at the same time paying attention to Harley's operations.
What made him regretful was that Neville was much more stable now. Even if he stood behind him for a minute, he would pretend that he did not exist. He was very devoted to brewing the potion. Although there was sweat on his forehead, he had not made any mistakes yet. .
After the potions exam was over, when everyone walked out of the basement, it was as if they had been released from Azkaban. The air suddenly became alive and they wanted to take a big breath.
"Snape almost looked like he was going to stick his hooked nose into Harry's cauldron!" Ron complained.
"He also said that the potion I made tasted so strong that only a troll could drink it!" Jerry was indignant.
This is because the mistletoe berries are not ground finely enough and strained not carefully enough. Fortunately, the effects of the drug were still there, so Jerry still got a passing grade.
