The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 636 Preparing for the Exam

"Ryan, Hermione, will you sign up for this exam?" Harry and Ron came to this corner and asked. "I think if there is anyone in Gryffindor who can pass this exam now, it should be only you two."

"We will definitely take part in this exam. There is a war going on outside now. I think it will be much more meaningful for us to participate in the war than to attend classes in school." Ryan replied.

"That's right, mate." Ron came up and said in an envious tone. "With the knowledge you and Hermione have now, I think attending classes is a sheer waste of time. I also want to graduate quickly like you and go to the battlefield to teach those Death Eaters a lesson, but with my current academic level, I'm sure I won't pass the exam."

"The battlefield is not a place for you to play." Hermione said in a serious tone. "The battlefield is full of death, and no one will love it."

"Of course I know about this." Harry nodded. "But I am also prepared to face everything. You know, between me and Voldemort, only one can survive. So I can't stay out of this war at all."

"Even so, I think you should not take the initiative to join the battlefield when you are not strong enough." Ryan looked at Harry and said, "Even if you are really destined to step onto the battlefield, it is best to do so when you have as much power as possible. Otherwise, you will make everyone's efforts in vain."

"I know." Harry nodded, "But I still hope to step onto the battlefield one day earlier and contribute my strength. I can't always hide behind others in this war."

"So for the sake of your dream, you should study hard now. This will help you have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield, and only by surviving can you have a future." Ryan patted Harry's shoulder.

"Thank you!" Harry nodded vigorously. "I will follow your steps."

After hearing this, Ryan's steps on the way out suddenly stopped. He originally just wanted to imitate those big shots in the movie to comfort Harry. Unexpectedly, he became Harry's role model. But it was good this way. Ryan at least felt that Harry would listen to his words, which would reduce the probability that Harry would run to the battlefield and give himself up in a moment of impulse.

After leaving the common room, Ryan and his friends went straight to Professor McGonagall's office. After opening the door, Ryan found that although Professor McGonagall had just arrived in the office, she had already started to get busy.

On the table in front of Professor McGonagall was a parchment document that was at least a foot thick. Professor McGonagall was wearing glasses and looking at the document on the table, occasionally drawing something on it with a quill pen.

It seems that when Professor Dumbledore is busy, all the daily affairs of the school will be handed over to Professor McGonagall. For example, when Ryan walked to the table, he saw Professor McGonagall correcting a list of food purchases for Hogwarts School.

"Ryan, Hermione, you are here to register for the exam, right?" Professor McGonagall looked up at them and said, "Please sit here and wait for a moment. I will register you after I finish reading this list."

After waiting for more than a minute, Professor McGonagall signed her name at the bottom of the list, then placed the entire piece of parchment on a small pile of processed parchment documents on her left hand side, then took off her glasses and said. ""

"Ryan, I have to thank you for your donation. Otherwise, I doubt the school would have enough food to last until next month." Professor McGonagall said, "Headmaster Dumbledore does have enough wealth, but it is in the form of magic props or books. It cannot be exchanged for potatoes, bread, meat or eggs under the current circumstances."

"I just fulfilled my duties as a school trustee," Ryan said modestly. "I don't have as many connections as other school trustees or can provide any help to the school, so I can only use money to fulfill my responsibilities."

"In fact, the school needs financial help the most right now." Professor McGonagall muttered softly, and then said to Ryan and the others. "Okay, I'll register the list of NEWTs for you now." She took out a list from the bottom drawer, and then ticked the names of Ryan and Hermione.

"By the way, what are you going to do after the exams?" Professor McGonagall asked after she put away the list after ticking it. "You know the current situation."

"We can only decide after the test results come out." Hermione said. "We haven't even taken the test yet, so it's useless to say anything!"

"Ms. Granger, be more confident." Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione with a smile. "I dare say that if you can't pass this exam, then no one else can pass it."

"Thank you for the compliment." Hermione's face flushed after hearing what Professor McGonagall said. "If we really pass the exam this time, I think we will temporarily live in Hogwarts Castle to make magic props, so as to provide all the props needed for the war. At the same time, from a security perspective, the castle is the safest, and it is also convenient for communication with various places."

"Only teachers and students are allowed in Hogwarts..." Professor McGonagall tapped her forehead. "I've been so busy lately. As a school director, you and your family have the right to live in the school. But the previous school directors all had their own manors and house-elves to serve them, so they were generally not willing to live in Hogwarts Castle."

"Well, I wish you all the best in this exam, and I hope Merlin will bless you. By the way, the exam is this weekend, so there is no need to give you a timetable. You just need to review well in the next few days." Professor McGonagall finally said, "You can leave now. I have a lot of things to deal with here."

"Goodbye, Professor McGonagall." Ryan and Hermione bowed together and left Professor McGonagall's office.

The rest of the week passed quickly, and Ryan spent almost all of his time preparing for the exam. The same was true for others, and many seventh-grade students could be seen studying hard in the library.

Fortunately, Ryan borrowed Percy's notes from his previous exam preparation, and then used the memory transfer device to input all the contents of the notes into his brain. Naturally, Hermione also enjoyed the same service.

"Didn't you say before that I was cheating by doing this?" Ryan joked as he watched Hermione sit up from the memory infusion chamber beside him.

"I just didn't understand some things at that time." Hermione pushed herself up with her hands and jumped out of the memory infusion chamber. She then stood there and said, "Unlike ordinary knowledge, the core of magic learning is to manipulate magic power. So as long as you can use magic successfully, it's enough. As for this method of memory infusion, it's no different from the result of us memorizing it ourselves. As long as we master the knowledge, it's fine."

"Besides, not everyone can input so much memory at once. I think how much knowledge can be instilled depends on the strength of each person's soul." Hermione raised her chin slightly. "If Harry were to use these dozen notebooks, he would at most be able to instill the contents of one book into his brain. If he had more, his brain would definitely not be able to handle it. As for Ron, I estimate that he could only instill half of the book at most."

"Well, you're a genius." Ryan laughed, only to receive an eye roll from Hermione.

In addition to instilling memory, Ryan and Hermione practiced the spells and potions that were to be tested in their spare time. Finally, it was Friday afternoon, and the next day was the time for the exam.
