A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 722 He's such a good person.

In the afternoon, a practical spell test was conducted.

To prevent interference between students, they first went into a small room next to the auditorium and then were divided into groups.

Those taking the exam nervously entered the auditorium; those who stayed behind remained in their rooms, memorizing spells and practicing the movements of waving their wands.

By the time William arrived, there were only a few people left behind.

He entered the auditorium and walked toward Professor Topherdy, who was free.

Professor Toford was the oldest examiner, with sparse hair and only a few tufts of hair sticking up from his head.

Some wizards are clearly professors, and their hairlines are a good indicator of that.

William used this method in his previous life to distinguish which students were doctoral candidates... and it never failed him.

Seeing William approach, Professor Topherdy smiled and said, "Long time no see, William."

"Long time no see, Professor. How have you been?"

William shook hands with him.

The two were old acquaintances, having exchanged many letters. Professor Toford was knowledgeable and could offer many excellent magical ideas.

"Not good. I heard the news. It came from Albus. It's terrible," Professor Topherdy said in a low voice.

"So, you really did fight him that night..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the students saw William chatting with Professor Topherdy.

Many students tried to eavesdrop, but William cast a spell and they couldn't hear anything.

Professor Topherdy was in a good mood. He had lived for so long and had experienced Grindelwald and Voldemort. What kind of storms hadn't he seen?

He patted William on the shoulder and encouraged him, "The future belongs to you. From now on, it's up to you young people!"

Years ago, I gave this quote to Albus; now I pass it on to you.

That's quite inspiring. It seems this is what inheritance is all about.

Just when William naively thought that he wouldn't need to take exams after receiving the inheritance, Professor TOEFL changed the subject and said:

"Son, half an hour of the exam has already passed. Chatting with me also counts as time. If we keep talking, you might not get your certificate."

"..."

It wasn't you who kept pulling my hand; we were supposed to talk about Voldemort!

Elderly person, you lack professional ethics!

William began to make the cup float.

"Using your own invented magic will earn you bonus points," the old man kindly reminded him.

William raised his wand, and a waterspout swirled, carrying the cup in mid-air.

This magic, originally invented to give boba tea a bath, has now turned into a fountain.

Professor Topherdy found it amusing and pulled him aside to talk about the magic.

William had learned his lesson this time; while demonstrating the magic, he chatted with him about all sorts of random things.

I just won't tell him... the principles of magic.

An accident also occurred in the classroom, where Marietta confused the Inflation Charm with the Freezing Charm.

The cat, which should have been frozen by her, had its testicles swell up alarmingly, growing to the size of a watermelon before the examiner could correct the mistake.

The examiner cast a cutting spell, permanently severing the cat's skin.

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

During the Transfiguration exam, William once again finished in just half an hour, handing in his paper early amidst the astonished gazes of everyone.

William suddenly remembered the college entrance exam in his previous life, the last subject, English, and how his roommate had asked him to hand in his paper early.

The reason was different then than now. Now it's really simple, but back then... it was simply about going to the internet cafe to reserve a seat.

During the college entrance examination period, all internet cafes will be closed.

Only by submitting your paper early can you secure a seat; it will be too late to go after the exam.

(A true story from a classmate.)

All the roommates agreed, but none of them handed in their papers early.

My roommate failed his college entrance exam, so he went home... to inherit his family's pig farm, his father's several houses, several cars, and fifty acres of land.

This is a sad story.

During the practical exam on Transfiguration, Professor Toford wanted to test William again.

However, he didn't get the chance this time; Professor Marchban beat him to it.

The assessment questions ended quickly, but Professor Marchban showed no intention of letting William leave.

"Something different, William, let me see something new," Professor Marchban said excitedly.

"That won't do; it would be beneath your reputation."

When Albus took the NEWT exam, I personally tested his transfiguration and spells... The tricks he conjured with his wand were things I had never seen before..."

"What would you like to see?"

"Forget about Animagus, I've seen those... How about some human transformation?"

William raised his wand and aimed it at Professor Marchban. The wrinkles on the professor's face were disappearing, and his skin was slowly becoming smooth.

She looks younger, only in her fifties.

"Outstanding human transformation technique, truly astonishing!" Professor Machiban looked in the mirror.

"It's still a long way off," William said with some dissatisfaction.

His shapeshifting abilities are far inferior to Professor Barbling's. She can transform into anyone simply by changing her body without using compound potions.

However, this ability still requires time to develop.

Next, all the teachers used William as their experimental subject.

They lured William to showcase his various skills by offering him bonus points.

During the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, one of the teachers even challenged William to a duel.

He is said to be a fighting master from the last century.

Fighting an elderly person like this is the most strenuous; you have to control your strength.

Otherwise, after three minutes of fighting, you might have to kneel on the ground and beg him not to die.

All the professors who examined William gave him the same evaluation:

He is considered the last magical genius of the 20th century.

William has to take twelve exams, the last of which is ancient magic script.

The examiner spent half a class period talking to him about ancient magical runes, much of which involved the alchemical items he had created.

William hired him on the spot.

What does it mean to turn the tables? (Leans back tactically)

After the exam, William walked out of the examination room.

Unexpectedly, he saw Karkaroff.

"...Stark, come here for a second," Karkaroff called out.

William walked over and whispered:

"Sirius, your acting is so fake. It's fine as long as you don't show your face now, but if you go back to Durmstrang, they'll definitely find out."

"I'm still trying," Sirius said, scratching his goatee. "This kind of personality is hard to imitate."

"Learn more from Karkarov, try to imitate him as much as possible, and don't show any flaws."

Putting everything else aside, let's trick him into giving us all the keys to his vaults.

All the gallons that Karkaroff had painstakingly saved over the years had ended up with William.

Just then, Snape strode over. He glanced at Karkaroff, looked at William, and said:

"Come here, Shit-da! I need to talk to you."

"Why are you looking for him?" Karkarov asked sternly.

Snape ignored Karkaroff and walked toward the corner.

William followed.

Snape glanced sideways at Karkaroff and sneered, "You're just going to let this stupid dog replace Karkaroff?"

Dumbledore certainly didn't tell Snape about Sirius's mission; they each had their own tasks.

But William wasn't surprised that the professor could sense it.

Karkaroff went to see Snape before he left, so there's no reason for him to suddenly stay.

Snape was also extremely familiar with Karkaroff, and after only a few encounters, he was able to spot his flaws.

"The forces over there need to be united, Professor Snape. Durmstrang is very important to us," William explained.

"Karkaroff didn't go to see the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord is furious. He has already issued a kill order against him," Snape sneered.

"It's alright at Hogwarts, but if he dares to show up at Durmstrang, the Dark Lord will definitely send Death Eaters to hunt him down."

Who knows, he might go himself.

Snape said sarcastically:

"Of course, this stupid dog must have wanted to face the Dark Lord for a long time."

He managed to evade capture despite being pursued by the Ministry of Magic. Perhaps the Dark Lord is no match for him.

William ignored Snape's sarcasm and said in a low voice:

"This is up to you, Professor. The Death Eaters can't leave England for Durmstrang in Northern Europe with just one or two wizards."

You should be able to easily extricate yourself from such a large-scale operation and detect it in advance.

I need your prior notice.

"Why should I help him?" Snape stared at William's face and sneered, "You don't actually think I have a good relationship with this stupid dog, do you?"

William said calmly, "For a greater purpose—to kill Voldemort."

Snape's lips moved as if he were humming, neither agreeing nor refusing.

He remained silent for a long time before asking, "The poison on the Black King's arm..."

"He asked you to get the antidote from me?" William seemed to have been prepared, and pulled out a piece of parchment.

"This contains a mixture of antidote and poison."

Snape narrowed his eyes, his feelings far more complex than his cold expression suggested.

He certainly wouldn't give Voldemort the antidote so easily; he hadn't expected... William to give him the antidote formula so readily.

Professor Snape took the parchment and left quickly.

William stood at the other end of the corridor. Sirius walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "What does Snotty want with you?"

William, recalling Snape's parting words, "Don't let that stupid dog know he's helping," softly replied:

"Professor Snape is such a good person."
