Chapter 236 Final Exam and Reentry into the Forbidden Area
To be honest, Madame Maxime's arrival did not cause any waves at Hogwarts, and many young wizards didn't even know about it.
The reason is simple. As the final exams are approaching, all students have started preparing for the exams. The final exams in previous years would have been more than this, but this year is completely different! Apart from other things, the rumors flying around are enough to make the young wizards feel suffocated. Therefore, the atmosphere in Hogwarts is very tense, like a battlefield without gunpowder.
However, Yang Tian and the other nine people, as well as many young wizards who were top students, became popular at this time. When after-school time came, everyone would consciously gather around them and ask them for advice on various problems they encountered in their studies.
Especially Yang Tian, he was a little afraid to show up! Can you imagine? During breakfast time, there would be a long line around him; even during the few minutes when he was on the Somersault Cloud, there would be little wizards, known or unknown, coming up to ask for advice... But there was really nothing he could do about it, because this little wizard could always give the most pertinent and detailed solution in the shortest time, and without any mistakes or omissions.
Faced with such a scene, Yang Tian was so depressed! But at this moment defined as a matter of life and death for all the students at Hogwarts, he really didn't want to leave an impression of being unreasonable and superior. Therefore, he could only take into account all parties and try his best to help these anxious little wizards answer their questions...
Time goes by day by day...
Finally, under this extreme depression and torment, the final exam finally arrived as scheduled...
The first exam was in Professor Flitwick's Charms class, and the task was to cast a levitation spell on a pineapple and control it to tap dance across a desk.
It has to be said that this test question made many first-year wizards feel uneasy, because it required precise control over spells.
Although everyone had worked hard to cram for a long time, when the exam actually began, most of the little wizards' so-called pineapple tap dance was no more than a long jump competition with the wrong drum beat.
Of course, the little wizards in the study group were an exception, especially the members of the group of nine. After daily training by Nightmare, their precise control over the spell played a huge role, and each of them completed the exam perfectly.
Yang Tian's test was even more exaggerated. He used Transfiguration to create two new pineapples, forming a pineapple group. Under the guidance of his ancient magic wand, the three pineapples sometimes changed their formations and sometimes changed their dance steps, causing Professor Flitwick to exclaim repeatedly and draw a big "O" (Outstanding) on the score sheet...
The content of the Transfiguration exam was: Turn a mouse into a snuff box. The moment Yang Tian heard the question, he thought of the inner-painted snuff bottles in his previous life that were "infinite and immaterial".
Although the styles of snuff boxes and snuff bottles are very different, this does not affect Yang Tian's bold innovation. Thus, a small and exquisite, crystal clear, and lifelike snuff box with landscapes and figures was born, which made Professor McGonagall love it. Without a doubt, he got another big "O"...
Although the misunderstanding about the killing bead had been resolved, Professor Snape's attitude towards Yang Tian did not seem to have changed much. Therefore, when Yang Tian was preparing the forgetfulness potion in the potion class exam, he was still very focused. He even used the deduction function of his brain to replace the expensive main material, the water of the Forgotten River, with two cheap common Chinese herbs.
The direct consequence of doing this was that Professor Snape's defenses were somewhat broken!
After discovering that the ingredients Yang Tian chose were different from what he had described in class, Snape stared at the boy with his sharp eyes, trying to find faults in his every move and then ridicule him. Unfortunately, until the potion was finally completed, Snape couldn't even say a word of doubt.
Looking at the finished product of the amnesia potion, whose cost had been greatly reduced but whose medicinal properties had been greatly increased, Snape was almost hurt from holding back his anger. He said bitterly, "Although your change in the prescription has achieved a good effect, it will bring shame to the noble and mysterious science of potions!"
Yang Tian did not say anything to refute, but looked at the old bat with a half-smile, and drew a big "O" on the test score...
As for the exams in other subjects, such as History of Magic, Astronomy, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, to be honest, it was even more difficult for them to pose even the slightest threat to Yang Tian...
Finally, with the end of the last exam, the young wizards who had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't hold back any longer. At that moment, they gathered outside the examination room, cheering, hugging, and crying...
Yang Tian and his study group friends smiled at each other, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt relieved!
Next, these little guys can have fun for a whole week until the test results are announced...
Yang Tian, who finally made time, found Dumbledore again, and it was time to enter the restricted area.
Fortunately, Dumbledore did not continue to shirk responsibility this time, but started their journey to the restricted area that night...
The forbidden section of the library was quiet at night. This was the third night that Yang Tian and Dumbledore had been here. It was completely different from the last time when the library was in danger. With Dumbledore's protection, the books in the forbidden section finally shed their mysterious veil.
The covers of these books may be tattered, with mysterious symbols and spells engraved on them. Their pages may be yellowed with age, and have a faint musty smell.
The contents of the books are full of dangers and challenges, and may involve the secrets of black magic, unknown magical fields, or forbidden knowledge. Each page of them may hide deadly spells or incomprehensible magic theories, requiring readers to have extremely high wisdom and caution to interpret.
Some books may tell about ancient magical rituals, whose steps are complicated and easy to go wrong. A mistake may lead to unpredictable consequences. Other books may record the existence of evil creatures or dark forces, which is chilling.
Of course, some books are extremely dangerous and evil! They are locked in sealed bookshelves and can only be read by specific people or under specific circumstances.
Dumbledore was a man of his word. He did not use any excuse to stop Yang Tian from reading these evil books. Instead, he explained to the little guy the correct way to open the books one by one, as well as his understanding and cognition of the book.
This surprised Yang Tian and at the same time made him admire him. Yang Tian just listened, watched, and immersed himself in it...
