The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 243 Exam Week

The magical creatures test that started the next morning was the easiest test Ryan had encountered during the exam week. After all, the content of this test required them to give them a Flobberworm that was still alive after one hour. It was well known that the Flobberworm was a magical creature with extremely strong vitality. Even if left alone, it could grow normally.

As for the reason why the test questions were so simple, it was because Hagrid was preoccupied and his mind did not seem to be on the test at all. After all, Buckbeak's final trial would take place the day after tomorrow, and the Ministry of Magic officials with the executioner had clearly stated their understanding of the final trial result.

So at the end of the test, Ryan stepped forward and patted Hagrid's arm to show his support. Hagrid bent down and said in a low voice: "Anyway, thank you for this time. We will know the final result the day after tomorrow."

The potions exam was in the afternoon. Fortunately, Harry attracted most of Snape's firepower, which made the Gryffindor students present feel a little more relaxed.

After mastering alchemy, Ryan felt that his potion making skills had improved dramatically because he found that he could deduce the effect of the potion based on the ingredients of each raw material before preparing it.

So in this exam, he slightly modified a few parts of the process of making the chaos potion. From the results, at least the finished product he made completely according to the process in the textbook was better.

It is worth mentioning that in many gatherings of the reading club, Neville was praised by the members of the reading club for his talent in herbology, so his self-confidence is much stronger than before. At least in this exam, when everyone's attention was attracted by Harry, Neville also successfully prepared the potion. Even if it was a low-quality product, it was much better than the previous failure.

After finishing the Potions exam, Harry and his friends returned directly to Gryffindor Tower, while Ryan and Hermione went to the Ancient Runes classroom to take the final exam of Ancient Runes.

Few people chose this course, even fewer than those who chose numerology. When Ryan walked into the classroom, he found that there were less than ten people taking the exam. The exam content was just the translation of some ancient texts and very simple combinations. However, seeing most people in the classroom biting their pens and thinking hard, Ryan knew that this thing was not as simple as he thought.

"Did I translate the rune wrong? It should mean heat instead of fire. Oh my God, what should I do?" Hermione asked nervously as soon as she left the examination room.

"Okay, okay, it's not that serious. These two runes can achieve the effect required by the test questions. There's really no need to go into such detail." Ryan showed a headache expression. Hermione's habit of reviewing questions after the test reminded him of the bad memories of being crushed by a bunch of academic masters after the test in his previous life.

Fortunately, they reached the Fat Lady's portrait at this time, and soon Hermione calmed down and prepared to review the evening's astronomy.

The astronomy exam was held in the astronomy tower at midnight. Ryan could only say that the night in the Scottish Highlands was cool even in summer. He had to wrap himself tightly in his robes during the exam. The History of Magic exam on the second day was at the other extreme. The exam room was extremely hot and stuffy. It reminded Ryan of the steamed buns in the steamer.

Of course, Ryan used a little trick for these two exams: before the exam, he went to the academy in the radiation world and copied all the knowledge in the books into his mind. After all, these courses are just memorization, and taking special measures to remember this knowledge can save a lot of time for other courses. This can also be regarded as a kind of resource optimization.

Ryan performed perfectly in the Herbology exam as usual, but he had a problem in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam on Thursday: he went a little too far, which forced Lupin to replace a new batch of monsters. "Your methods are a bit too close to actual combat, especially that Grindylow. You really didn't need to knock it unconscious and then turn the dead branches at hand into iron rods to hit it on the head. Fortunately, I prepared a lot of backup in advance, otherwise the exam would not be able to continue." Lupin said helplessly. "Of course, your performance is also excellent, so you get full marks."

"Thank you, Professor." Ryan then stood there and watched the others' exams. Harry passed the exam smoothly. Ron had a problem with the artificial swamp. Hermione passed the exam smoothly, but it took her a little longer than the others, mainly because of the Boggart. But after the exam, no matter how Ryan asked, she refused to tell him what the Boggart had become.

For Ryan and Hermione, their exams were completely over. However, Harry and Ron still had to take their Divination class. So when they went to eat, Ryan and the other two looked very energetic. But Harry and Ron still looked nervous.

On the way, they met the judges sent by the Ministry of Magic. The sharp axe on one of them's waist indicated that Buckbeak was in great danger today.

The most exaggerated thing was that the team was led by Minister Fudge, but this time he did not come to the school because of Sirius's problem, but because he had something more important to discuss with Professor Dumbledore.

Just as Ron was about to step forward to speak, Ryan walked towards the auditorium. Because Ryan used the Purple Cloud Magic Skill, Ron was pulled away without any resistance.

"Don't forget that he is your father's boss." Seeing Ron looking a little unconvinced on the road, Ryan explained to him why he was taken away.

"Maybe Buckbeak will be okay." Harry said in a very uncertain tone. After all, he knew that the probability of Buckbeak being completely okay was too small.

Because there were no exams in the afternoon, Ryan and Hermione sneaked out of the castle under the pretext of celebrating after the exams. Then they entered the spiritual plant from another direction of the Forbidden Forest. When they arrived at the place agreed with Wolfe, they were surprised to find that there were already six unicorns waiting for them.

"Well, young unicorns are always curious. So these young guys in the tribe also came out this time to see the world with the leader. After all, there are not many opportunities to go out with absolute safety." Wolf explained on the side.

"It will definitely be safe. I heard that Professor Dumbledore will attend the final trial. No one will hurt you under his gaze." Hermione said from the side.

After chatting for a while, the animals in the neighborhood followed Ryan and Hermione and slowly moved towards Hagrid's hut. Because no one usually walked here, the ground was full of dead branches and leaves and messy tree roots. It took them 20 minutes to approach Hagrid's hut from the Forbidden Forest.

"I'll go and see what the situation is first." After saying that, Ryan cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself and then walked towards Hagrid's hut alone.
