Chapter 971 Lucius's Plan

"I dare not say that I have passed the Clear Water Curse test. I just wrote everything I know."

"So there are only a few ways to break the fear curse. I don't know if I've written it down enough. I only remember five."

"There is also a question about the Patronus Charm——"

"Hermione!" Ron said with a straight face and couldn't help interrupting her. "The exam has already been completed. We don't want to take it again after every exam is over. This is too torturous."

Harry nodded in agreement.

Mainly because it was so tortured to hear Hermione's answers. For example, he only remembered two ways to remove the Fear Curse, and how did Hermione write down five kinds——·

If he continues to listen, his mentality may collapse.

"It's you, how do you feel?" Kyle came to the castle on time and happened to meet the three of them.

Hermione's eyes lit up and she walked over quickly.

But before she could speak, Kyle turned around and walked straight past the three of them.

"Professor McGonagall, I heard Hagrid said you were looking for me..."

Hermione stood there, her mouth slightly open...

Harry walked up to Hermione and whispered: "I guess he just said hello to us - he didn't really want to get an answer."

"I——.Okay."·

Hermione took a deep breath and could only remember the words on her lips.

"But thanks to Kyle, he told us last night how to use the Dreamless Sleeping Potion and the appropriate dosage."

Hermione turned her head sharply. "Kyle also knows——·

"I know." Harry nodded, "I almost broke the bottle of potion because of Kyle's help."

"No wonder he suggested that I drink a cup of hot cocoa." Re Min scratched his hair, "You really shouldn't have given me the Dreamless Sleeping Potion, otherwise I would definitely be able to read the book again——"

"Then you come to take the exam drowsily?" Ron couldn't help but ask.

"You didn't sleep much in the past few days, and you didn't sleep during class either. You relied on the sobriety potion to stay awake. But now is the N.E.W.T.'s most stringent wizard exam. If you do this again, you will be considered cheating..."

"Or do you want to take the exam with a tired brain?"

Hermione's mouth moved, but surprisingly she didn't refute Ron.

Because she knew very well that these words were correct, and she had indeed been a little too nervous in the past few days, and she couldn't accept that she didn't review before the exam.

"Yes, I'm sorry. -" Hermione's voice was small.

"What did you say?" Ron was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly.

"I meant--"-Thank you. "Hermione said, "To be honest, today is my most energetic day. "

"Well, you're welcome...

As the three of them talked, they came to the auditorium to have lunch---this place was originally an examination room, but now it magically transformed back into a restaurant.

The exam continues in the afternoon and is a practical exam.

Students filed into the rooms they needed to go to.

Sitting in the classroom were March and another professor, who were mainly responsible for the afternoon practical exam.

In addition, Professor Kel is also among them.

Due to Snape's absence, Professor Sinistra and Trelawney were injured in the last war and have been receiving treatment at St. Mungo's, resulting in a shortage of professors at Hogwarts.

Then Professor McGonagall pushed Kyle over.

Fortunately, this job is quite easy.

Someone from the Wizarding Examination Administration must be in charge of the exam, and his task is to solve some emergencies, such as "clear water like a spring!"

Kyle moved his wand, and a stream of spring water fell from the sky, pouring on Padma Patil, a seventh-year Gryffindor student, and helping her extinguish the newly ignited fire.

This is his job.

Some students always want to seize all the time to practice spells and wand movements before the exam, but because of nervousness,

They make all kinds of mistakes all the time.

Just now, Padma Patil waved her wand too hard and accidentally poked her robe.

"Put away your wands!" Kyle waved his wand again, and the water flow formed into a ball and jumped away from Patil, reminding him: "If entering this door counts as a formal exam, then you can already go back."

Padma Patil's face turned red and she thanked Kyle repeatedly.

Kyle waved his hand and said, "Go to Professor Tofty, she is free now."

Patil hurried away.

The person behind her was Harry. He looked quite nervous, but luckily he didn't wave his wand randomly.

Kyle pointed to where Professor Marchban was, and he immediately ran over.

I don’t know if it was affected by the war between Voldemort and Hogwarts. Almost all the seventh-year students who stayed in school were more or less injured, so the content of N.E.W.T this year was much simpler than last year.

The content of the magic spell practice class is only the flying spell and the color-changing spell. To be honest, questions of this level are not difficult even if they are placed in 0.W.L.

There was also the Transfiguration practical test on the second day, which was also a simple bird spell.

"In fact, when they decide to stay in Hogwarts and are ready to face Death Eaters at any time, they no longer need the so-called certificate." During dinner, Professor Marchbaby answered Kyle's questions. .

"So in my opinion, this exam is just a formality. A simpler one will allow more people to get the certificate."

"But what about those students who didn't stay?"

"These people are only a minority after all, aren't they?" Professor Marchbank smiled, then cut a piece of steak and said casually: "I always felt that there were too many questions related to dark magic in this written exam, but Bones thought it was okay."

Dark magic·——·

Kyle blinked and understood.

Of course, there would definitely be no questions about using dark magic in the Hogwarts exam, only the removal of spells to deal with dark magic.

And in the war some time ago, the most lacking thing was dark magic. It can be said that those who participated in the war at that time had prepared for this N.E.W.T. written exam in advance.

And the memory was deep··

Kyle smiled and stopped talking.

The above are all his guesses. This exam will not target anyone-·

Then there was the exam for the Herbology class, but this time Kyle did not go to help again, but came to the Hogwarts Astronomy Tower with Professor Marchbank.

Here, he saw someone.

Draco Malfoy, and Professor McGonagall were also there.

After not seeing him for a while, he looked much more haggard than before, and his beautiful platinum-blond hair was limp on his head. If he persisted for a while, maybe he could get a hairstyle like Snape.

"Professor Marchbank, I think Bones should have told you." Professor McGonagall came over and asked,

"Yes." Marchbank responded with a serious face. "So he is the student who cannot take the exam with others?"

"Yes." Professor McGonagall said in a low voice, "He made some mistakes before. Although he corrected them in time, he could not be forgiven by everyone in a short time."

"What does this have to do with the exam." Marchbank frowned, "You should go to Bones and Wizengamot."

"That's right." Professor McGonagall said, "But his father, Lucius Malfoy, thinks he should take the N.E.W.T. exam, and Dumbledore once promised to let him return to Hogwarts.

"I have discussed this with Bones."

Professor McGonagall did discuss this with Amelia Bones, just after the last hearing.

Bones also agreed.

It is said that Lucius Malfoy donated a large sum of money, which just solved the current problem of the Ministry of Magic. In addition, his purpose was not to get rid of the crime, but to compensate. He just mentioned that he wanted Draco to take the exam.

It's just to take the exam, Bones has no reason to refuse.

"Okay, I know. "Marchbank walked up to Draco Malfoy and looked at his weak appearance.

"Are you sure you can do it?" She frowned, "Or come back tomorrow?"

"No, no problem." Draco Malfoy patted his cheek and took out his wand.

Because he couldn't take the exam with others, plus some other factors, Draco Malfoy has been doing written exams here these days.

This is also the case when others are resting.

Others have just finished two exams, but he has already finished all the written exams. Professor McGonagall is also here, acting as the chief examiner.

Originally, she also suggested that Malfoy don't need to be so anxious, and he can rest first and then continue the practical exam, but Malfoy insisted on doing it now.

So she found Professor Marchbank and Kyle.

"I need to go to the Ministry of Magic immediately to prepare for Severus' second hearing." Professor McGonagall said to Kyle: "Can you help Professor Marchbank here next?"

"Yes, no problem." Kyle agreed without thinking.

"That's great. "Professor McGonagall rubbed her forehead.

The Hogwarts exam and the hearing were put together, and she was under a lot of pressure recently.

Soon, Professor McGonagall left the Astronomy Tower, and after Professor Marchbanks learned what happened, he didn't say anything and started the exam directly.

Because there was only Malfoy, there was no need to queue, and the efficiency became much faster.

It only took a few hours for Malfoy to complete most of the exam content and start brewing potions.

Kyle conjured a chair for himself and sat on it, watching Malfoy grinding lionfish bone powder there.

He wondered why Lucius had to let Draco Malfoy participate in this N.E.W.T. exams.

Does he really need those certificates?

Although the Malfoy family was cheated of a lot of money by Voldemort, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, which can be seen from the fact that he can still donate to the Ministry of Magic.

The Malfoy family still has savings, and the amount is not small, enough for Draco to squander.

Could it be that Lucius felt that it was too much of a loss to just donate, so he made a request by the way?

As soon as this thought came up, Kyle shook his head.

It shouldn't be, Malfoy would not do such a boring thing.

"He should be the first one————" Professor Marchbank suddenly spoke, bringing Kyle back to his senses.

"The first what?" he asked.

"A student who was expelled from Hogwarts but took the N.E.W.T. exam again." Marchbank looked a little strange.

"There are not many students expelled from Hogwarts, especially after Albus became the headmaster, there are even fewer students expelled by him, only him.

"A serious Death Eater can still return to Hogwarts as a student to take the exam - don't you think it's amazing?"

Student's identity -··

Kyle raised his head suddenly.

He felt that he seemed to have guessed Lucius's thoughts.

Draco had been expelled before, and even if he returned to Hogwarts to take classes for a period of time, he could not change his status as a graduate.

But it was different after taking the N.E.W.T. exam.

The certificate had the Hogwarts school emblem on it. As long as Draco could get a certificate, he could get rid of his status as a graduate.

This identity seemed useless, and there were a lot of them in the UK, but it could allow Draco to completely get rid of his identity as a Death Eater.

When someone mentioned that Draco was a Death Eater in the future, he could take out the certificate and throw it in the other person's face.

"Look, even Hogwarts accepted me again and let me take the graduation exam, why are you still holding on to it?"

Thinking of this, Kyle pulled the corner of his mouth.

What Snape needed to attend two hearings to do, Draco Malfoy only needed to take one exam.

How should I put it, this is worthy of the cunning Malfoy...

However, letting Draco Malfoy return to school was also what Dumbledore promised.

When it was almost noon, Malfoy finally finished his potion test and handed a bottle of joy potion to Professor Marchbank.

—.- It should be joy potion, although the color is not right, but this is the title.

Then the two left the astronomy tower together.

Kyle followed behind.

Malfoy didn't stay with them for long. He seemed to have other things to do, and he knew that he was not welcome now, so he left the school from another way after leaving the astronomy tower.

Professor Marchbank also had to take his test paper back and pack it up, and only Kyle had to go to the hall to eat.

At this time, lunch should have started, and Kyle couldn't help but speed up his pace.

But just when he walked to the courtyard.

"Is this Hogwarts? An old castle, ugly decorations--it doesn't look very good."

An elderly witch stood in front of a stone statue. She was wearing a decent dark blue dress, and her gray hair was neatly tied into a bun. But her tone was full of undisguised disgust.

Kyle stopped.

"Wenda? Rosier!"

"It's me." Rosier turned around and laughed, "Don't look at me like that. If it wasn't for his request, I wouldn't want to come here like this--"

She couldn't help but glance at the cracks on the stone statue and frowned slightly, "By the way, don't you have the money to change a decoration in Hogwarts? I always thought that your place should be similar to Beauxbatons."

"This is an antique from a thousand years ago, a real treasure, not something that can be bought with Galleons." Kyle retorted.

Although he didn't know when these stone statues appeared in Hogwarts, it didn't affect his words.

After all, Wenda Rosier didn't know.
