The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 437 The exam is over
After the exam started, they were called into the auditorium according to their colleges. At this time, the layout of the auditorium had changed. It was filled with single tables and chairs for the exam, all facing the staff table at the end of the auditorium. The list of candidates seemed random, probably to prevent cheating. When Ryan sat down in his seat, he found that half of the seats in the auditorium were already occupied.

When everyone was seated, Professor McGonagall, who was standing next to the staff table, announced the start of the exam. Ryan immediately opened the test paper.

The first question, yes, the second question, same - the last question, yes again. Ryan found that he had accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge without realizing it, and these test questions were much simpler than he thought. After repeatedly telling himself to be careful and not to be proud, Ryan began to write on the test paper with a feather pen.

When he finished writing, the sand in the hourglass had not even run out halfway. This made Ryan suspect that he might have missed something. After all, in his previous life, he had heard that some people with low IQ did not notice that there were questions on the other side of the test paper.

After checking it carefully twice, he confirmed that there was no problem at all. Ryan could only spend the rest of the time in boredom. This exam was just like the college entrance examination. Without special circumstances, you were not allowed to leave the exam room early.

"This question is easier than we thought," Hermione found Ryan at the dining table after the exam. Maybe because of the exams in the past two days, the lunch was obviously a level better than usual. When Hermione was talking, Ryan was stuffing a piece of roasted lamb into his mouth. "I can feel that I answered them all correctly, but I still couldn't help but check them many times. And for question 18, I may have answered too much——"

"It's okay, you've answered well enough." Ryan interrupted Hermione's chatter after swallowing the mutton. "So you should eat something quickly, because you have a practical test in the afternoon."

At the door of the small room next to the hall in the afternoon, Hannah Abbott, a member of the reading club and head girl of Hufflepuff, was the first to be called in to take the practical test. The round-faced blonde girl said depressedly, "I knew it would be like this. Every time my name is called, I'm the first one."

Waiting was the most torturous thing. Hermione and Greengrass went in together. However, the students who finished the exam had not returned, so Ryan didn't know how Hermione did. While waiting, many people were still mumbling spells and practicing the movements of swinging paralysis sticks, sometimes accidentally poking someone's back or eyes.

Finally, Ryan heard Professor Flitwick calling his name. The examiner assigned to him was a serious-looking old lady with gray hair and eyes as sharp as a hawk. Ryan immediately thought of Neville's grandmother.

"Please follow my instructions to cast a spell on this cup. Of course, if you have any skills to show, you can get extra points." As soon as Ryan stood in front of the table, he heard the examiner announce the rules of the exam.

Ryan used the silent spell technique to cast the levitation spell, color change spell and growth spell. When he was allowed to leave, he saw the examiner nodded with satisfaction.

After a tense night, Ryan passed the Transfiguration exam the next day, both in theory and in practice. For a high-level alchemist, the exam questions were even a little too easy. But it was not the case for others. Hannah was so nervous during the exam that she dropped her wand on the ground, and several ostriches appeared on the floor inexplicably. It took several minutes for people to drive these guys out.

The following exams went smoothly. Ryan passed the Herbology on Wednesday easily with his natural magic ability, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Thursday was also the same. Ryan also got extra points for his crab patronus. However, this was not too noticeable because there were many more young wizards who could release their patronus during the exam this year than in previous years.

However, Umbridge, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, was not happy, after all, the Patronus was the nemesis of Dementors, and all Dementors in the UK were employees of the Ministry of Magic. As a result, the attitude of the young wizards towards the Ministry of Magic can be imagined.

After finishing the Ancient Runes test on Friday and the busy weekend, Ryan finished Potions, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures and Astronomy in the new week. Unlike the original book, perhaps because the Weasley twins did not leave, there were not so many disruptive incidents in the school, and Umbridge naturally did not want to make trouble at such an important moment and insisted on expelling the professor.

"I can finally give up Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures and Astronomy." Ryan said a little tiredly after returning to the common room after taking the astronomy test. Even though the content of the test was not difficult for him, it was inevitable that he would be tired after two weeks of exams. Their last exam was History of Magic, which would not be held until the afternoon. Because this exam was only a written test, Ryan slept in the next day and got up at around nine in the morning.

When he went downstairs, he found that many students were reading notes in the common room. Hermione's three and a half feet thick copy of the notes appeared in front of many students, but Ryan felt that if he hadn't studied hard before, it would be too late to read these things now.

"Here, I brought you some food." After sitting down next to Hermione, she handed Ryan two sandwiches wrapped in a handkerchief. "There's only one more exam left. I hope I can get a good grade in this exam."

"Of course you can." Ryan gave Hermione a big smile.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the fifth grade students walked into the auditorium and sat down in front of the upside-down test papers. At this time, every student in the examination room was calm, because after a long period of preparation and continuous examinations, this difficult period was finally over. As long as this exam was over, they could have a good rest and relax for a long time.

The ghost Professor Binns also did not show up to supervise the exam. Everyone was exhausted and just wanted to finish this long exam quickly.

"Open your test papers." Professor Marchban said in front of the auditorium and immediately turned the huge hourglass upside down. "You can start."

These exam questions are not easy to memorize. For example, question 4 asks, "In your opinion, did the Wand Regulations contribute to or help better control the goblin rebellions in the 18th century?" This is much more difficult than question 5 (How was the Statute of Secrecy violated in 1749, and what bills were proposed to prevent it from happening again?). Because this is a divergent essay question, there is no ready-made answer.

This type of question is scored based on the completeness of the answer. There are many questions of this type, and each question requires a lot of historical facts as support. Each question can be regarded as a small essay.

Ryan felt his head start to buzz after answering less than half of the questions. Fortunately, he managed to finish the whole paper with perseverance.

After finishing the test, he looked up at the hourglass in the front while checking it, and occasionally glanced at Harry sitting in front of him. If he remembered correctly, in the original plot, it was during this test that Harry saw Voldemort capture Sirius.

Now, Ryan is most concerned about whether Harry will see any more scenes this time. Although according to Harry's previous dream, Voldemort is still preparing to plot against the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries according to the inertia of history.

But nothing happened. After Ryan finished answering the last question about the giant being expelled, nothing happened until Professor Marchbank asked all the students to put down their pens and start collecting their papers. Harry did not receive any signal from Voldemort as in the original text, and naturally he did not fall to the ground and scream as in the original text.

What on earth was Voldemort planning? Ryan frowned as he walked out of the examination room, looking out of tune with the others. He found himself in a fog, and this unknown made him feel extremely uneasy.
