Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
The group at the Wizarding Examinations Administration were fast.
On the third day after Douglas replied, the news of the release of "Seven Years Newt Five Years Owl" became a new headline on the "Daily Prophet", replacing the news of Sirius' escape from prison that had been on the list for many consecutive days.
["Seven Years Newt Five Years Owl" came out! ! ! 】
["Seven Years of Newt and Five Years of Owl" was published in July 1993 by the Wizarding Examinations Administration of the Ministry of Magic and the professors of the twelve main courses at Hogwarts.This book mainly summarizes the contents of the owl and newt propositions, and analyzes the form of the test propositions.
Professor Tofudi from the Wizarding Examinations Administration: "The content of this set of exercises is well-organized, point-to-point, and easy-to-understand, so that students can step on every step of the way and find a way to fully stimulate their enthusiasm for learning, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. .”
Minerva McGonagall, vice-principal of Hogwarts: "...set a certain number of training questions, the content is novel and rich, and the questions range from easy to difficult. Starting from the students' knowledge structure and thinking training, the thinking training As the core, with lively and diverse forms as the theme, to stimulate the problem-solving ideas and improve the problem-solving ability..."
Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Douglas Holmes: "Of course, we don't just copy dead knowledge mechanically. This set of exercises is updated every year and combined with current events in the wizarding world..."
Professor Marchban, of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, said: "In my 100-year career as a proctor, I don't fully agree with this approach, although my colleagues feel that it is an improvement in education.
Of course, I can't deny that this kind of book is helpful to ordinary wizards, but once a wizard genius is deeply involved in this kind of problem, it is a kind of obliteration of their talent..."
......
It is reported that the content of the book not only involves the content of theoretical exams, but also a large number of practical exam questions, which can expand students' knowledge reserves and get in touch with more simulated scenarios...
The Wizarding Examinations Authority also emphasized that this is a set of supplementary teaching materials and cannot replace the existing teaching materials, and they will update the exam questions every year, and will also update this set of exercises......
The book is now on shelves at Lihen Bookstore in Diagon Alley! 】
As soon as this report came out, it caused an uproar in the entire magic world.
Some people think that the content of Hogwarts textbooks should have been updated long ago, and the appearance of this set of test questions can also speed up the updating of textbooks.
Some people also think that this set of test questions will reduce newt and owl to a joke, and will not be able to select real geniuses...
No matter how the wind and rain outside, Douglas always maintained his own rhythm.
Especially when Harry's birthday is approaching, Douglas personally thinks that the third grade can actually try this test question.
So, the afternoon before Harry's birthday, when he came up from downstairs after dinner.
It was found that there was an extra stack of books on the desk in the room.
He found that the window was well shut, and there was no way for the owl to come in.
Walking forward cautiously, I found a note on the stack of books.
[Happy birthday, I hope you will make new progress in the new semester, respect the teacher, love your classmates, listen carefully in class, and be able to speak actively. I hope this set of exercises will be helpful to you. 】
Harry rummaged through it, but couldn't find the signature on the note.
The handwriting was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Test questions?"
Harry had a flash of inspiration, and his whole body trembled. Except for Professor Holmes, he couldn't think of anyone who would be interested in giving away test papers.
He hurriedly checked the test papers, and saw "Seven Years Newt, Five Years Owl · Defense Against the Dark Arts Volume" written on the cover, and scrolled down, there were also "Transfiguration Volume", "Potions Volume", "Herbal Medicine Volume" ", a total of twelve volumes.
Harry suddenly wanted to cry, I just graduated from the second grade!
Cautiously he called across the room:
"Professor Holmes? Professor, are you still there?"
For a long time no one answered him.
He hurriedly looked through the homework he had hidden under the bed, and was relieved to find that the homework had not been opened.
It is hard to imagine what kind of disaster it would be if Professor Holmes looked through his homework and found that there was not a single word in the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.
At this moment, he really wanted to go to Professor Holmes' home, express his solemn thanks to the professor, and return the gift to the professor, telling him that the gift was too expensive for him to bear at his age.
Who can understand the feeling of being given a test paper on your birthday.
He carefully hid the twelve sets of books under the bed so that the Dursleys would not laugh at him if they saw them.
And made up his mind, after getting the signature for going to Hogsmeade Village, he would go to Professor Holmes' home to thank him and comfort him by the way.
He thought that the professor would no longer be able to go to Hogwarts after school started, and he must be very sad, so he used this method to urge himself to study. This gift also showed that the professor must be very sorry that he could not teach him until he graduated. , blame the damn Voldemort.
But he was very happy that the professor could remember his birthday.
Just after twelve o'clock in the morning, Harry's heart skipped a beat. He was thirteen years old.
Harry leaned against the window sill. After staying under the covers for so long just now, the cool evening breeze on his face was really comfortable.
His owl, Hedwig, had been out for two days, but he wasn't worried at all.
Looking at the starry sky, and then glanced under the bed.
Harry felt that he was already very satisfied with this birthday. He even had an urge to stay up late tonight and do the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework last night. Even if the professor in the new semester is not Professor Holmes, he still wants to give back in this way. Thanks professor.
Just when he was about to go to bed, he noticed outside the window, under the golden moonlight, there were three owls flying crookedly towards him.
Two of them were holding a third, which appeared to be unconscious.
They landed on Harry's bed with a clatter, and the big gray owl in the middle immediately fell over, motionless, with a large bundle strapped to its leg.
Harry recognized the unconscious owl at once - it was named Errol, and it belonged to the Weasleys.
Harry rushed to the bed, untied the rope from Errol's leg, took off the package, and carried Errol into Hedwig's cage.Errol opened one blurred eye, gave a feeble cry of thanks, and gulped water.
At this time, he looked at the other two owls, one was his owl, Hedwig, and the other was a tawny owl that he didn't recognize.
When he unwrapped him, the other party flew away directly.
He carefully spread the presents and envelopes on the bed.
A broomstick care kit from Hermione, who was still on holiday in France; clippings from the Daily Prophet, and a pocket looking glass from Ron, who was still in Egypt.
(Ron: If there are suspicious people around, it lights up and spins. Bill says it's a shoddy item sold to wizarding tourists and unreliable because it kept lighting up at dinner yesterday. But he Didn't realize Fred and George put beetles in his soup. Poor Bill, just helped them out a while ago...)
Seeing this, Harry tried not to laugh out loud.
There is also a box containing a "Monster Book of Monsters" sent by the Hogwarts gamekeeper, a strange book with fangs that can attack people.
Finally there was a box, which Harry opened to find a birthday cake and a note.
【Happy birthday!Boss Dobby Dobby]
【Cake, Dobby personally made it for Harry Potter, the boss taught me a lot of tricks, I hope you like it. 】
"More than!"
Harry still remembered the house elf who had kept him from going to school for the last year, and if it wasn't for Professor Holmes, he didn't know how long he had been harassed.
When I saw that it was sent by him, although I knew that the other party had no bad intentions towards me, I couldn't stand the other party's bad behavior.
Especially with an unknown boss.
In the end, he was still reluctant to throw the cake into the trash can, after all, it was the cake he received on his birthday.
But I didn't dare to eat this cake, and finally put it on the table to decorate the birthday atmosphere.
He still remembered that Dobby could show up in his house at will, and he didn't understand why the other party didn't show up directly, but had the owl send it over, and Harry would bet that the other party definitely intercepted the owl again.
Unfortunately, Harry's happiness only lasted one night.
At around ten o'clock the next morning, the Dursleys prepared to take Aunt Maggie home.
Aunt Marge was Uncle Vernon's older sister.Although she is not related to Harry by blood (Harry's mother is Aunt Petunia's sister), Harry has always been forced to call her "Aunt" Aunt Marge lives in a house in the country with a large garden and raises many dogs. bulldog.
She didn't live on Privet Drive very often, because she couldn't bear to be away from her precious dogs, but every time she visited she made such a horrible impression on Harry that he still remembers them vividly.
The humiliating experience of being almost broken, being chased up a tree by a dog, being given dog food, etc., can't help but come to my mind.
Even Harry's Uncle Vernon threatened him with a guardian's signature, forcing him to agree to some unequal treaties.
For example, be polite, can't show any weirdness, and have to admit to being at the St. Bruce Safe Center School for Delinquents.
Harry gritted his teeth and told himself that everything was for Hogsmeade.
He didn't expect to receive such a birthday present on his birthday. He would rather receive a pair of smelly socks from Uncle Vernon!
When Aunt Maggie entered the Dursleys' home, Douglas also received a report from Dobby.
On the third day after Douglas replied, the news of the release of "Seven Years Newt Five Years Owl" became a new headline on the "Daily Prophet", replacing the news of Sirius' escape from prison that had been on the list for many consecutive days.
