Chapter 628

The day before the exam, the deans of the various houses repeatedly emphasized the rules of the exam—except for Snape, he never said what he said a second time.

But there is only one "maverick" professor like Snape at Hogwarts, and the other deans still take the trouble to emphasize the rules to the fifth-year students, after all, this exam is not written and supervised by Hogwarts, but by the Wizarding Examination Authority of the Ministry of Magic.

"So I'll say it one last time! I want all of you to be able to write it down!" Professor McGonagall said, patting the blackboard a little hysterically, "the date and the exam time are on this, and the exam will last for two weeks. You will take a written exam in the morning and a practical exam in the afternoon. Of course, your astronomy practice exams are scheduled for the evening – if the weather conditions allow that evening. "

One by one, the students below craned their necks and copied the dates on the blackboard on the parchment.

"Now, I must warn you - once again! that your exam papers have been subjected to the strictest anti-cheat spells. It is strictly forbidden to bring an auto-answer quill into the exam hall, as well as memory balls, detachable entrainment cuffs and automatic error correction ink. I'm afraid to say that it seems like every year at least one student thinks he can get past the rules of the Wizarding Examinations Board. I only wish Gryffindor didn't have such fools!"

It seems that the luck mentality of cheating is common to wizards and Muggles. But the wizard's anti-cheating methods are much more powerful, but if there is really a student who has the ability to break through the anti-cheating spell and can avoid the monitoring of the invigilator and successfully cheat, then with this student's ability, he will not be stumped by a small exam.

The final dinner before the exam was extremely quiet, even at the usual busiest Gryffindor table, no one spoke, and everyone just wanted to settle their dinner as soon as possible and go back to the lounge to revise - they were going to start the exam tomorrow.

"It's time for us to go. Harry hurriedly swallowed the contents of his mouth, "I haven't finished the Giant War yet." "

No one objected, even Ron, who liked the most food, put down the chicken leg in his hand, if one less meal would allow him to have a pleasant summer vacation, he could be hungry for a day.

"Oh my gosh. Hermione suddenly stared nervously at the hallway and whispered, "Is that them?

Harry and Ron jerked around on the bench. They looked towards the door of the Great Hall, where their headmaster, Dumbledore, was standing with a small group of wizards who looked very old.

"Yes, they are the examiners. Neville said next to Hermione, "I know one of them. "

"Neville, you even know the examiner?" Ron looked at Neville in surprise.

"Geselda. "I know her, she came to my house to see my grandmother. "

"She looks very old. Hermione said.

"I've heard my grandmother say she's older than Dumbledore. "

Professor Marchband did look very old, with loose skin on his entire face, and many wrinkles on his face that looked like it was covered with cobwebs. Her ears didn't look good, and before Harry could step out of the Great Hall door, they heard Dumbledore talking to Professor Marchbon in a loud voice.

"The journey went well, we arrived quite a bit early!" Professor Marchband replied to Dumbledore in a loud voice, "I must say that the situation in the Department has been so bad lately, even worse than Josephine's back then. Flint was even worse during his reign. Many old friends have been driven away by their dirty means! If this continues, the ministry will become a hall of words. "

"Okay, maybe we can talk about this mess later, not here. "There's an old wizard by Professor March's side, and he's noticed Harry coming.

"Oh, let me introduce you—" Dumbledore cleared his throat and said to the professors from the Wizarding Examinations Board, "This is Harry Potter......"

The old wizard just came up and grabbed ...... Ron's hand.

"The famous Harry Potter! I've wanted to meet you for a long time. "

"I ...... I'm not, he's Harry!" Ron blushed and reluctantly withdrew his hand.

It seems that the professors who come to invictor are either behind their ears or have bad eyes, Hermione is a little worried, can they proctor, this is what Hermione thinks, the other students wish they were blind and deaf when they come to proctor.

"Harry, this is Professor Tofody. Dumbledore came out to clear the way, "And the lady next to me is Professor March, who is the head of the O.W.L. "

In fact, it wasn't just the O.W.L. this time, Dumbledore was in charge of the invigilator when he went to school, and it was Professor March's class. According to seniority and contributions, Geselda. Marchiban could have entered the Wizengamot a long time ago, but she had stayed at her post and was not tempted by the Wizengamot's seat. So she also avoided a lot of troubles, such as the Great Purge of the Ministry of Magic that has been going on until now some time ago.

"We'll be looking forward to seeing what you do!" Professor Marchband said at Harry.

"I ...... I'll try. Harry was nervous, what if he didn't do well in the exam, would they think he was a fraud?

It was an unsettling night. Everyone wants to catch the last minute and review again, but no one seems to get anything out of it. The lounges of each college are quiet, either cradling books and gnawing on them, staring at them in a daze, or spreading out on the sofa like resignation. Many students hid in corners waving their wands – either confused or confident in their written test the next day.

At breakfast the next day, no one in the fifth grade said anything because it was useless to say anything now, only some of the students who were still still reading books.

As soon as breakfast was over, the students from the other grades went to class, and the seventh and fifth graders wandered aimlessly around the foyer, and then, by half-past nine, they were called to the front by class, class by class, back into the auditorium. The auditorium had been refurbished, and the four house tables had been removed and replaced with a number of small single tables, all facing the faculty desks at the end of the auditorium, which would be their examination rooms.

Unlike the other students, Solim and Draco had come in a pinch, and by the time the two of them reached the foyer, the students had almost already entered the exam room.
