Chapter 162 The Honored Malvolio
·
Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
The beautiful summer sunshine shines into the Gryffindor common room, and the students inside are concentrating on the piles of homework and review materials.
Only occasionally when a few students get tired and look out the window will they realize Professor Welfare's sinister intentions.
With such good weather, they could only stay in the lounge, which was a waste of money!
Since the end of the last pleasant practical class, the professor has given each student a book of exercises.
It is said that it summarizes all the test questions from the Defense Against the Dark Arts course examinations in the past 20 years.
There are also many basic knowledge points, advanced versions that appear on OWLs and NEWT exams.
It is convenient for everyone to get access to the test questions of these two exams in advance and have an understanding of their difficulty.
only……
Too many and too difficult!
As fun as the previous class was, how uncomfortable it was for them to do the questions now.
In particular, many professors have realized the effectiveness of this method and have imitated it, launching problem sets for different courses.
Transfiguration class.
"As Professor Foley said, your lack of theoretical content has affected the practice of magic. This was my oversight before, so I have to make up for it."
Professor McGonagall pointed to the thick exercise book.
Spell class.
"In order to give you this exercise, my dark circles can already be compared with Professor Foley." Professor Flitwick said funny.
"So, you must not let down my hard work."
"Besides, don't say I didn't remind you. Every year's final exam will have questions from here."
It is for this reason that students abandoned the traditional memorization of knowledge points and began to embark on the great career of answering questions.
It's just different from pure questions. Every knowledge point in it will be summarized, and the source will be marked to help them find the textbook.
Questions related to practice will also have illustrations to facilitate their understanding.
After all, this is used to help them learn magic and check for omissions, not just to answer questions.
Theoretical study must ultimately serve practice.
"Hermione, I heard from George that there is a copying spell that can copy the answer..."
Ron lay down on the textbook with a clang and muttered listlessly.
Harry also looked at Hermione next to him longingly.
They were less than halfway through, and Hermione was already at the stage of checking answers.
"Don't think about it, I won't lend you the answer." She said casually.
"And the answers to the exercises can be found in textbooks or daily notes, so it's not too difficult."
"It's not that difficult!" Ron sat up straight and his voice increased sharply.
"We have been searching for a long time, but we may not be able to find an accurate answer!"
He poked at a certain question with his finger and said angrily.
Hermione reluctantly put down the textbook in her hand and took the exercises from his hand.
One glance and she knew what the problem was.
"This is a question about the similarities and differences between the Forgetting Curse and the False Memory Curse. It is used to warm up OWLs."
She rummaged through "Standard Spells: Level [-]" and handed that page of notes to Ron.
"Didn't we discuss Lockhart before? I thought you were familiar with the only magic he was good at."
"I can't believe what we would do without you." Ron sighed and took the textbook.
"Aren't we afraid that you will be angry? We haven't paid attention to Lockhart's affairs since then. He has been tried?"
Hermione immediately pulled out a large newspaper and turned to the latest issue.
"The verdict was announced just a few days ago. Because he used the Forgetting Curse on more than thirty wizards, causing irreversible serious damage, he was sentenced to confiscate all the income generated from stealing other people's achievements to compensate the victims, and was also sentenced to 20 years in prison. "
"I guess he's been imprisoned in Azkaban now."
Thinking of Hagrid's panic when talking about Azkaban when he came back, Ron couldn't help but pale a little.
"Isn't this the Auror who took Lockhart away that day?" Harry pointed to another photo in the newspaper.
"Yes, he glared at us." Ron said dissatisfied.
The second half of the newspaper about Lockhart was all about this Auror.
Delis stood proudly beside Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Even in the photo, the medal on his chest was shining brightly.
Hermione spread the newspaper so they could all see the report.
"This is called Drex. Rita said that he is the most effective Auror in the Ministry of Magic in the past ten years. In just one year, he has captured half of the wanted criminals."
"This time I was able to obtain the Second Class Medal of the Order of Merlin not only because he exposed Lockhart's crime, but also because he brought peace to the magical world."
Ron frowned oddly.
"Is this an article written by Rita Skeeter? I thought she was going to say this Auror didn't deserve such a medal."
"She did say that, but she just said that Delis deserves a first-class medal, and the Ministry of Magic should give such a capable employee the honor he deserves..."
Hermione didn't know that Rita was known in the wizarding world for lashing out at others, and thought it was normal practice.
But to Tver on the other side, this was too conspicuous.
"Can't you keep a low profile? Of course you should accept the medal as soon as you get it. Anyway, the Ministry of Magic will be criticized after a while, and everyone will naturally think of you."
Holding the badge, Tver said to Malvolio on the other end.
Tver had just received the second badge from DeVos and Bans, and it was delivered to him.
As a result, he turned such a good thing into a bad thing.
Of course it is a good thing to be awarded a medal. It is an extra honor and will make others worry less about making mistakes in the future.
It's just that you can't ask for a higher-level medal so blatantly. Wouldn't this make Fudge jealous? !
"I didn't want it either. It was Rita, the woman, who made her own decision. By the time I found out, the newspapers had already been sent out."
Malvolio said aggrievedly.
He never expected that Rita would become so cooperative inexplicably now. When he came to the door, there were several articles praising them in the house.
The kind that makes him blush!
There's even one about Tver and Cynthia in it, which is almost ready to be sent out.
If he hadn't stopped him in time, it would have been Tver himself who came to the door.
Hearing Malvolio's complaints, Tver was helpless.
"Then let her calm down for a while, and then you can criticize the Ministry of Magic later."
"What happened again?"
Malvolio was so used to his prophecies that he would believe it if Dumbledore would join their camp that day.
"You don't need to worry about it now. The important thing is how is Lucius?"
"Ha," Malvolio laughed wickedly, "Many officials disliked him and the Ministry of Magic was criticized for several months. Fudge even had no contact with him for two months."
"Weasley seems to have gotten into trouble with him. With Cynthia's help, he destroyed several of his sales operations and confiscated many dark magic items!"
"That's good. If you wait for him for a while, he might come to your door again..."
Tver raised his lips proudly.
Compared with the plot, Lucius has only been successfully raided a few times now, and is much alienated from the Ministry of Magic.
This is not a big deal for the Malfoy family.
But the difference is that as long as he can bring one more possibility to the Malfoy family.
A better possibility.
Just waiting for him to put a more important bargaining chip on the scale would be enough to change Lucius's final decision.
