Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 777 Examination Arrangements
The next morning, Harry and the others were stunned.

Look at the schedule posted on the door.

The first column of this table reads:
Friday at 9:, History of Magic
10:, Arithmancy
lunch
1 o'clock, Muggle Studies

3 o'clock, herbs

"what happened?

We don't need to take Arithmancy and Muggle Studies exams!

Are the Defense Against the Dark Arts and Divination classes going to be tested tomorrow, Saturday?

Or next Monday?" Ron paced in annoyance.

He has already thought about how to play tomorrow!

Whether the remaining two classes are on Saturday or next Monday, it means he won't be able to have fun tomorrow.

How outrageous!

“That’s easy to understand, isn’t it?
I'm sure some of the other students have chosen Arithmancy and Muggle Studies." Harry shrugged.

He acted very relaxed.

Because he doesn't need to take the exam.

But he sincerely hoped that the remaining two courses could be taken on Saturday.

Not next Monday.

If it was the latter, it meant that Draco would not have a good birthday on Sunday.

After all, Draco still had to prepare for his exam the next day.

Neville: “I think it’s Monday.

Just like the OWLs and NEWTs that fifth and seventh graders take.

Only Monday to Friday.

I only take one subject every day.

Therefore, their exams take two weeks.

Theory exam in the morning and practical exam in the afternoon.

Of course, the astronomy class practice must be at midnight.

Every day at 9:, they would take exams in the auditorium.

The four house tables would be removed, of course there would now be seven, and replaced by a number of small single tables, all facing the staff table at the end of the hall.

At that time, the invigilator was a professor at our school. "

“This isn’t right.

When we had lunch, the auditorium was just as usual.

And according to what you said, the invigilator for the afternoon exam will not be our professor?
Why haven't I seen them taking exams in the auditorium in recent years?" Michael questioned.

“That’s because at lunchtime, the auditorium will be restored to its original state.

Theoretical courses are tested much faster than practical courses.

The general end time is about the same as the end time of our normal exams.

The practical exam in the afternoon is held in a small room next to the auditorium.

There was also a Bewilderment Spell cast against wizards inside.

No one except the examinees and invigilators usually notice it.

At that time, the exams would be supervised by a group of old men and women from the Wizarding Examination Board.

It’s scary to think about it, some of them were Dumbledore’s invigilators back then!” Neville shuddered at the end.

Harry suddenly realized, "I was wondering why the Great Hall was locked tightly in the morning.

I had no choice but to take a detour and jump out of the second-floor window.

It turned out that the fifth graders were taking the test. "

He immediately asked, "What about the seventh graders?
Students who can take NEWTs are rare.

They shouldn’t need a very large venue.”

Neville shook his head, "I don't know.

Like OWLs exams,

To prevent cheating, the test papers and the entire venue were placed under the strictest anti-cheating spells.

Props like automatic answering quills, memory balls, detachable clip cuffs and automatic error correction ink are not even allowed in the examination hall. And the students who can take the NEWTs are the best of all students.

If they want to cheat, the anti-cheating measures of the OWLs exam may not work at all against them.

I think the hidden and unknown location of the exam is probably also a way to prevent them from cheating.

The invigilators of their theory classes are probably the group of old men and women from the Wizarding Examination Bureau.

After all, those old men and women all arrived at school in the morning."

Soon, it was 9 o'clock.

All the third year students except Harry arrived at the History of Magic classroom.

Ryan is no exception.

Although the inexplicable aversion to the history of magic in his blood had disappeared since he achieved the Moon's Illusionary Body, Ryan still hated it very much.

Because it is recognized as the most boring course designed in the wizarding world.

However, the most annoying thing was not what he needed to write on the test paper at the moment, which was all about the witch hunt in the Middle Ages.

Instead, after the History of Magic exam, he still needs to take the Arithmancy exam.

Arithmetic divination refers to a type of divination that uses numbers to explain a person's character and destiny, or to predict the future.

Another name for it is "numerology".

Modern arithmetic divination is based on the Pythagorean philosophy that "the world is built on the power of numbers" and the Kabbalah tradition of Jewish mystical philosophy.

The ancient Latin alphabet was based on numerical values, so the sum of all the letters reduced to a numerical value of 19 was used for divination.

The current arithmetic divination is to match the letters of the alphabet in the order of ABC with the number 19 (returning to the number 1 for the letters J and S) for divination.

To be honest, Ryan thought this was outrageous.

In this world where spells are cast based on emotions, mathematics is actually used in divination, which requires the most emotions.

What's even more outrageous is that after Ryan "thought" about it, he found that it was not a nonsense subject.

It can only be regarded as a way of using Tianmu.

Tea residue analysis, bird physiognomy, seven-character learning, crystal ball, magic stone divination, and dream deconstruction are also all included.

In Ryan's opinion, for a wizard with clairvoyance, there is actually no need to learn so many divination methods.

Just test the method that suits you best and learn from it, and you can learn about the rest.

Just like Professor Trelawney, what suits her best is actually divination with playing cards.

Instead of the crystal ball she held in her hand all day.

Logically speaking, Ryan, who thought the course arrangement was unreasonable and the teacher was unreliable, should not have chosen divination, but arithmetic divination.

But he chose it anyway, and even took 12 courses.

This is unique to Scorpio, as Time-Turners are no longer available to students because they are considered a possible threat.

If it weren't for Ryan's ability to create superfluous shapes and make himself invisible, actual class selection would have been impossible.

The reason for all this was that Kate and Penelope also chose 12 courses that year.

When it was Ryan's turn, they didn't want him to slack off or take it easy.

Because they had been caught in the rain that year, now they wanted to tear people's umbrellas into pieces.

In response, they also suggested that Ryan write another article in The Quibbler.

Resolved the issue of not daring to use the Time Turner now.

In other words, a simple magic that creates an extra form that can only be used to learn knowledge is announced.

Let other younger students also enjoy the joy of taking 12 courses.

As expected, Ryan refused.

But the result is that Penelope and Kate will act as teachers and check Ryan's attendance in elective courses from time to time.

And now, Ryan still needs to take 12 courses.

So, Ryan decided to give Harry a surprise.

He really couldn't bear to see Harry wandering around out of boredom because he couldn't take the exam.

This is the basic operation of being a good friend and a good roommate.

I hope Harry likes it.
