Chapter 204: Final Examination of the Auror Training Class
In May, the grass and trees at Hogwarts are lush and green, and the air around them carries the warmth of early summer.
The students' topic gradually shifted away from Sebastian's private life and began to focus on reviewing various subjects.
After all, they will have the final exams of this school year in a month.
Sebastian announced solemnly during the Auror training class.
"In order not to squeeze out the students' review time, the Auror training class will conduct a final examination in the next week."
“Unlike other subjects, there is no written examination for this course.”
"Instead, an Auror from the Auror Office will personally lead you in the practical exam."
Practice exam?!
The Auror from the Auror Office showed up in person!
The little wizard's expression suddenly became nervous.
I wonder if the exam is difficult?
As the first group of students to attend the Auror training class in the history of Hogwarts, they all wanted to have a good result.
"You need to prepare in the next few days. Once you receive the owl message, pack your equipment and head to the gate of Hogwarts. Someone will take you to the test there."
"The assessment will be conducted in groups of two, and you will not know who your partner is until the day of the test."
"The assessment is not held at Hogwarts." Sebastian glanced at the students. "Everyone will be assessed in a different order. Some will be assessed first and some will be assessed later. The seventh graders will be assessed first."
"Therefore, students who finish the exam first cannot disclose the exam content to others in any form. Otherwise, their exam results will be cancelled."
"Don't be nervous. I've seen your progress over the past year. As long as you work harder, you can achieve good results."
........................
Harry has been in a state of tension ever since he heard the news about the test.
So far, there are only 12 students in this course.
If you count two sets per day, it will be your turn in three days at most.
Harry didn't feel like complaining about the exam coming too suddenly, and he also understood this form of assessment.
After all, Auror is a very special profession, and they are always faced with various emergencies in their careers.
When the dark wizards appeared, the Aurors had no time to prepare and had to rush forward immediately.
Just after lunch on Thursday, Harry saw an owl fly in front of him and drop a letter.
When I opened it, it clearly said:
[Harry Potter, please come to the main entrance of Hogwarts within 20 minutes. No one will be allowed after the time limit.]
What was supposed to come finally came.
Harry's nervous heart suddenly calmed down.
After all, the exam is coming soon, and there is no point in being nervous. It is better to adjust your state so that you can perform better.
He checked the belongings he had with him, said hello to Hermione and Ron, and then walked towards the school gate under their concerned gazes.
Arriving at the gate, Harry found that Cedric had already arrived. He was standing next to a tall wizard, with his head down, wondering what he was thinking about.
Very good!
His partner is Cedric.
Since they are both on the school Quidditch team, the two have a pretty close relationship, so they will definitely be able to cooperate much better.
Harry greeted Cedric and then stood with him, awaiting the wizard's instructions.
Seeing the two of them arrive, the wizard looked at the magic watch on his hand and said approvingly.
"Very good. Your group's assembly time was very short, less than eight minutes. You will get a high score for this."
"You can call me Dalish, and I will lead you to take the test."
"Today's assessment is very simple. Last week, a dark wizard escaped our capture and only left a lair."
"Your mission is to conduct a thorough exploration of his lair, search for any clues he left behind, and deduce his whereabouts."
"In addition, you have to collect evidence in his house. Remember, don't leave out any black magic items."
As he spoke, Dawlish pointed to an old water cup on the open ground: "This is the door key. I will count to one, two, three. We will put our hands on it at the same time. It will lead us directly to our destination."
"one two three."
"Now, hurry up!"
After hearing the other party's instructions, Harry did not dare to delay and quickly put his hand on the old water cup.
Suddenly, he felt a hook suddenly hooked behind his belly button, and his whole body flew off the ground with his feet.
After a dizzying spin, the three people landed in a dense forest.
Harry looked up and saw a spooky wooden house with some traces of spells around it.
"Listen," Dawlish's serious voice sounded, "This house is full of traps. You must always be vigilant and use the skills you have learned to avoid these dangers."
"If it wasn't a life-or-death crisis, I wouldn't intervene."
"The time limit is two hours, starting now."
Harry and Cedric looked at each other, took out a dragon leather glove and put it on their left hands, then held the wand tightly in their right hands and walked towards the house carefully.
"There are no traps at the door of the house, it's safe!"
"Everything seems normal in the living room, but we cannot let our guard down and need to remain vigilant."
"Strange...why do several rooms look normal? Do you have any ideas, Cedric?"
Cedric looked around and answered in a low voice.
"I think we should look for some unusual places, such as...traces on the ground. I think there must be a secret basement here."
"That makes sense," Harry cooperated with Cedric and quickly found a suspicious floor.
It blends seamlessly with the surrounding floor, and if you don't look carefully, you can't even see the small keyhole on it.
"Cedric, there's something wrong with the floor here. There's a smell of dark magic underneath it."
"Harry, be careful. It gives me a bad feeling. I suggest you use the Shield Charm now."
As he spoke, Cedric used the Shield Charm, and Harry also used a simple Shield Charm to create a magic shield in front of him.
"Open the Alaho hole!"
The floor opened up, revealing a dark hole, with a strong smell of dark magic underneath.
The two men entered the basement carefully and worked together to dismantle all the magic traps they encountered.
They carried out the dark magic items one by one, and soon, all kinds of items covered the ground.
Just when the collection of dark magic items was about to be completed, a sharp laugh came from the woods.
"Dawlish, you actually dared to come back alone, and brought two burdens with you."
"Today is the time for me to take revenge."
Dawlish's face was solemn as he shouted to the two students who ran to him to help.
"The opponent is very powerful. I can only hold him back for a while."
"Hurry up and use the portkey to return to Hogwarts to ask the professor for help. Be quick, or I might die here."
"Go, this is an order!"
After hearing this, Harry and Cedric, who originally wanted to join the battle, immediately made up their minds.
Time is life, we must go back quickly to get help.
You must not be a burden here.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other and reached for the old water cup on the ground at the same time.
Before they could react, the familiar pulling feeling suddenly hit them, and they were both teleported out at the same time.
After landing, Harry and Cedric were surprised to find that what appeared before them was not the gate of Hogwarts, but an unfamiliar dense forest.
Where is this place?
