The resurrection of Voldemort and the scandal at the Ministry of Magic completely detonated public opinion and set off a storm in the British wizarding world. The entire wizarding world was clamoring for Fudge to resign.
This incident did not affect Hogwarts, and most of the energy was still devoted to the upcoming final exams. The whole castle was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and the library, common room and room of request were always crowded. Full of students who were nervously reviewing, Albert also opened the activity room of the Wizard Card Club and lent it to his acquaintances. It should be said that most of the seventh graders except Slytherin came to join in the fun.
"You're really not nervous at all!" Lee Jordan's tone was full of envy that he couldn't hide. The guy in front of him didn't take the exam seriously at all.
"Don't you see that I'm also reviewing now?" Albert tapped the notebook on the table with his fingers. He was now reviewing the so-called key points to strengthen his memory, so as not to be shrunk on the written test.
Different from the O.W.L. exam (Ordinary Wizarding Level Test), the .W.L. exam (Ultimate Wizarding Test) does not actually test the basics, but the knowledge points learned in the sixth and seventh grades. In addition to the most basic written test, it is very important to the actual level of the candidates. high demands.
"Tell us about the key points, maybe we can get good grades in the test." Lee Jordan was the first to express everyone's thoughts, which is why most of the students came to join in the fun. They all hoped that Albert could take the time to tell everyone. Talk about the key points of the exam.
They benefited a lot from Albert's Defense Against the Dark Arts tutorial last time.
"The point? The professors have mentioned it in class." Albert said with a raised eyebrow.
"Then you think those are more important?" Angelina asked.
"Silent spell, this is almost a must test."
Albert noticed the surrounding students and knew that Lee Jordan was leading him into the pit, so he closed his notes and casually talked about the key points of the exam in recent years.
"Whether it's the spells practice test or the practice test of the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, silent spells will be involved. If you want to get high scores in these two exams, you must be able to use silent spells skillfully."
"Silent spells are not easy to use," Angelina muttered.
"The examiner will look at the students' lips. If there are obvious traces of whispering incantations on the lips, the test score will not be too high." Albert reminded. He knew that many students were lazy during practice and secretly chanted the mantra in a whisper to pretend they had mastered the silent mantra.
Everyone knows how difficult the Silent Mantra is. It doesn't mean that you can use Silent Mantra to use a spell and you have mastered it. Therefore, there are very few students who really master Silent Mantra.
This is the true level of the exam.
As for the written test, it is not difficult to pass the written test with a relatively good grade as long as the reasons are put in more effort.
"The exams for potions are usually about antidote." Albert continued, "They will ask students to analyze the poison, and then prepare the corresponding antidote."
"It's not easy."
"Antidote is the most difficult and most torturous test site in the entire potions study." Albert nodded and said, "For the average difficulty, it depends on the ingredients of the poison provided by the examiner."
"Of course, other more complex potions may also be configured, but I don't think this is a difficult task. As long as you practice hard, you can usually get good results."
"I don't think there is such a simple potion in "Advanced Potions Maker"." Arya complained.
This is actually the voice of many people.
In fact, many wizards are unable to prepare satisfactory potions, and even they dare not drink the potions they have configured. The difficulty of potions is quite difficult to brew.
"That's why the antidote often appears, because the difficulty of the exam can be adjusted, depending on the difficulty of the poison given by the examiner."
"What about Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
Lee Jordan was more concerned with the Defence Against the Dark Arts exam, the only subject in which he was likely to score well.
"Defense against the Dark Arts is more about silent spells, cracking spells, and how to repel corpses or female ghosts."
"As hard as it sounds, I mean silent spells involved."
"The difficulty is actually that you need to use the silent spell to crack a curse or poison that you don't know, or it may be..." Albert continued to analyze the exam questions he might encounter next. However, many things are simple in his view, but are undoubtedly quite difficult in the eyes of most students.
.The difficulty of the exam is much higher than that of the O.W.L. exam. If you don't listen carefully in class or study hard, it will be a bit more difficult to pass the practical exam successfully. Qi was disturbed, and the professors did not have strict requirements, resulting in many students not paying much attention to their studies.
However, listening to Albert talk about the test center here is a good thing for them, at least it can be reviewed in a targeted manner.
"If I had known, I also dropped out of school with Fred and George." Lee Jordan said depressedly, "I feel like the exam is over."
"Generally, there are not many students who get high scores in the exam. As long as they pass the exam, they can get a certificate." Shanna comforted.
"There are many differences between passing, good and excellent in the certificate, but many good positions will require at least a few courses to achieve 'E'." Cedric is considered to be relatively easy here except for Albert and Katrina.
"You're talking about Aurors, aren't you?" Lee Jordan muttered. "To be an Auror at the Ministry of Magic now is to be a cannon fodder."
"Forget the Aurors. As for whether to join the Ministry of Magic, it will depend on the situation." Cedric shrugged.
"Other positions in the Ministry of Magic, you must have a relationship in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise you won't get any good positions." Albert reminded.
"There's no peace at the Ministry of Magic right now."
"I know that, Gabriel mentioned it to me." Cedric said with a smile, "Actually, I'm also very interested in coming to Hogwarts as a Transfiguration professor."
"You want to drive Professor McGonagall away?"
"I can wait for Professor McGonagall to retire before applying."
"You have a chance, Professor McGonagall won't be able to teach Transfiguration for a few years." Albert nodded and said, "You can talk to Professor McGonagall about this first, as long as you accumulate a few years of experience, it should be fine, provided that It's you who excels in the Transfiguration exam, which will help you get this position."
"Really?" Cedric asked in surprise. "Professor McGonagall is retiring?"
"You'll find out later." Albert said with a smile.
"Oh, what the hell."
"Albert, how about you?"
"I haven't thought about it for a while, I will definitely not enter the Ministry of Magic anyway." Albert made no secret of his disgust for the Ministry of Magic: "Maybe, I will write a few books, um, I have a plan to travel around the world, anyway, before The pile of bonuses I got is enough for me to spend several years without worrying about work for the time being."
"It's really enviable!"
"Where's Katrina?"
"After graduating, I may open a beauty shop with others, and we will see the situation later." Katrina glanced at Albert and said calmly.
Maybe it was because I just remembered the so-called key points, everyone was in a good mood, and they got together to talk about their future job plans.
Some pure-blooded girls plan to marry after graduation, and don't worry about future problems at all. Some pure-blood wizards are wealthy families, or have connections in the Ministry of Magic, and plan to go to the Ministry of Magic to get a job after graduation.
The hardest is actually the wizards born in Muggle families. Their families can't give any help, and they can only struggle alone in a strange place like the wizarding world to get a good job for themselves.
Originally, it was a good choice to join the Ministry of Magic, and at the worst, it was possible to engage in Muggle liaison work that many wizards despised, but now that Voldemort has been resurrected, the magic world has been involved in the storm, and it is very risky to work in the Ministry of Magic.
"Sanna, what are you going to do in the future?" a Hufflepuff boy asked.
Shanna was the best Muggle-born wizard of their class besides Albert.
"I'd like to try a therapist if possible, I heard it pays well," Shanna muttered.
Of all the professions, Aurors and Healers have the highest requirements for certification, but they are also high-paying positions in the wizarding world and well respected.
"The requirements for this position are the same as those for Aurors, requiring at least an 'E' in Potions, Herbology, Transfiguration, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts."
"Yeah, I'm not sure." Shanna was not as confident as Albert.
"This position is not bad." Albert nodded and said, "You can give it a try. At your level, it shouldn't be difficult."
"The therapist in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries is really well paid, but they are very busy every day." Katrina knows therapists better than many students here. She actually thought about becoming a therapist, but... she gave up for the time being. .
The time was quicker than expected. The O.W.L. exam for the students in the fifth grade was coming soon, and the students in the seventh grade began to prepare for the exam.
However, unlike the fifth graders, the seventh graders' exam location is not in the hall, but a relatively spacious classroom, which is probably related to the fact that there are not many students taking the exam.
Many students at Hogwarts choose a small number of subjects. The number of students in the advanced class for most subjects is only a dozen. For example, there are only a few students in the advanced class of Ancient Rune. Defense against the Dark Arts is probably the subject that the most students apply for. , this is really thanks to Albert's tutoring.
"Long time no see, Mr. Anderson." Professor Marchban greeted Albert warmly: "I heard you taught Umbridge a hard lesson."
"She went too far." Albert said innocently.
"It's really hard to believe that someone like that can hold an important position in the Ministry of Magic." Professor Tofody was also very dissatisfied with Umbridge.
"However, Umbridge is finished," Professor Marchban said with a smile. "It got so big that the Ministry of Magic was forced to go to trial for her case."
"Inquiring about her charges with Veritaserum?"
"There is indeed a plan." Professor Marchban said, "The Ministry of Magic also wants to find out if this is true. The Umbridge incident has made the Ministry of Magic very passive. Many parents of students have sent shouting letters to the Ministry of Magic. ."
"Although I think you probably don't need the exam, well, let's get started!" said Professor Tofody with a smile.
The practical exam for the spell was exactly what Albert expected: he needed to use the silent spell to complete three spells. (Three randomly drawn from the five spells) Albert shook his wand and quickly used all five spells.
Turn a glass of water into vinegar and use the Anti-Araho Hole Charm on the small chest...
In addition to the Silent Mantra, there are seven other items, and the general exam only needs to be drawn by lottery to complete the other two items.
However, Machiban and Tofudi asked Albert to do all of them, and then gave them an excellent award, which was considered a preferential treatment for geniuses.
"How was the test?"
After Lee Jordan finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and patted his head and said, "I really asked a stupid question."
"It must be excellent." Shanna said without hesitation, "I got stuck on the silent spell. There is a spell I haven't practiced, so I can only recite it in a low voice. However, it seems that the examiner found it."
"Don't worry, the deduction is generally not too harsh. The final score is calculated by adding up the scores of the practice test and the written test." Albert comforted.
However, if you can't use the silent spell in general, you will basically miss out on being excellent, because this piece of buckle is more ruthless.
"I feel that this is very pitiful, there are few in the entire magical world that can be like you." Lee Jordan complained, "Many wizards use whispers or silent incantations, why do you shake your lips a little bit? points will be deducted.
"In fact, there is still a difference. The difference in the use of magic spells. The fact that we use magic spells so quickly is actually related to silent spells." Albert explained.
"Are you sure?" Cedric looked at Albert suspiciously, "I think using the Silent Spell is slower, and it requires more concentration."
"That's because you're not skilled enough." Albert said to Li Jordan, "I remember you also hang the Fuchsia upside down, right?"
"Yeah, that's true, as long as you have an idea in your mind, or you can just read it in your mind." Lee Jordan said to Cedric, "I think you'd better not bother with this, discussing this with Albert is completely in the Asking for trouble, he's not like us."
"You're right," Cedric said.
"Tell you good news." Albert changed the subject.
"What good news."
"After a while, the Ministry of Magic will have a formal trial for Umbridge."
"how do you know."
"Professor Marchban told me."
"You guys are still chatting during the exam."
"No, before the exam."
"Will the Ministry of Magic favor Umbridge?" Harry said out of nowhere.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head. "However, probably not. After all, Umbridge's reputation is already bad, and there should be no need for the Ministry of Magic to favor her."
"Otherwise, take the time to look at the crystal ball." Harry suggested, "Never let that guy escape."
