Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"The test results... don't seem to have anything to do with magic points?"

That's right.

They have discovered it now.

Ryan did not announce the total number of magic points obtained by these young wizards who had passed the assessment.

But through the communication and conversation between the little wizards, it is easy to find that the magic points between them are not consistent, and the gap can even be found to be very large, with the gap between them even being more than 100 points.

This obviously made them realize a problem - that is, the results of the assessment seemed to have nothing to do with the number of magic points themselves.

And this is indeed the case.

"I believe some of you have already discovered that the test results have nothing to do with magic points, and this is indeed the case."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below was in an uproar.

But Ryan remained calm, and so were the professors.

That's right.

Of course, they couldn't really use magic points as the criterion for determining whether a young wizard could enter the Pavatu Club.

After all, no matter how Ryan designed the test, the fact is that the young wizards of different grades have completely different levels of knowledge, experience, magic and spells.

It would be impossible for him to design a completely fair test.

So, the test of the Pavatu Club was simple from the beginning.

What Ryan looked at was not the level of the spells, but the little wizards themselves.

Their creativity, their ideas, whether they are determined, whether they panic when faced with danger, whether they retreat when faced with challenges.

He captures the shining points of each young wizard and weighs whether these advantages can help them master ancient magic and meditation.

These things are the key to this test.

And the names he was reading out at this moment were exactly those of people who had passed the test in this aspect.

As for magic points.

"They are certainly not meaningless."

Ryan smiled and said, "After the 'Hogwarts Maze' is opened, some special alchemical puppets will appear. They will act as 'merchants' in the maze and provide you with necessary assistance."

"And magic points are currency—you can use them to buy items like various potions, one-time life protection, and the like."

He explained, and then continued to read out the names.

"Vincent Crabbe, a second-year Slytherin student, panicked when faced with the three-headed dog and chose to betray his friends who were taking the test with him and escape alone, but he was still eliminated in the end."

"Judgment, courage, choice, all very poor - in fact, if you know a little about magical beasts, you will know that the three-headed dog with folded ears has no malicious intent. It is well fed and in a good mood and will not attack you at all..."

"Obviously, you can't join the Palatine Club right now."

And this time, he finally thought of someone who failed the test.

Then Harry clearly saw that Crabbe's face turned ashen as he stood among the young Slytherin wizards.

And obviously.

His name was the first to be called, but he would not be the last.

"Gryffindor second-year student, Lavender Brown - showed excellent cooperation in 'Fantastic Beasts and Chess', but tends to panic and be careless... I have to say, it's a bit inappropriate for a wizard to be eliminated because of a careless mistake. You should at least take out your wand."

Ryan's words were not polite, which instantly filled Lavender Brown's eyes with tears.

But Ryan was obviously not moved by this - as he said, such a low-level mistake should not happen to a wizard.

The more clearly the situation is pointed out to her now, the better it will be for her to avoid losing her life due to mistakes when a real accident occurs in the future.

After Lavender, a large number of names were read out by Ryan.

Only occasionally there would be one or two young wizards who successfully passed the test, but the number was obviously not significant.

This also made Harry, Ron and Neville more and more nervous.

In fact, they had already given up after being eliminated.

But now that Ryan explained that passing the test had nothing to do with magic points, they regained hope.

And soon...

"Gryffindor second-year wizard, Neville Longbottom."

Neville's name was read out by Ryan.

"Your knowledge of herbology and the habits of magical plants is commendable, and your mastery of the subtleties of magic has also made great progress. The only problem is your excessive kindness and compromising personality—or perhaps you could call it indecision."

When Ryan said this, Neville almost thought he couldn't pass.

"but..."

But at this moment, Ryan changed the subject.

"Neville Longbottom displayed extraordinary bravery in the face of danger."

"When faced with a classmate who needed help, he chose to rescue him—and as far as I know, his relationship with the person he rescued wasn't particularly friendly."

"Most importantly—even when surrounded by death vines, he never gave up on finding a way to escape until the very last moment, nor did he blame his friends for his mental breakdown."

He blinked. "Headmaster Dumbledore thinks Neville Longbottom would be a good candidate for the Pavarotti Club."

"And similarly - Harry Potter, Ron Weasley too."

After he finished speaking, Harry, Neville and Ron were almost stunned on the spot.

They looked at Ryan in disbelief until they also saw the badge of the 'Pavatu Club' on their chests completely solidified.

Only then did they realize with incredible clarity that they had actually passed the assessment.

And not just them...

"Besides that, there's Mr. Draco Malfoy. He narrowly avoided danger while completing the task of 'obtaining a magical gem from the deadly vines.' He demonstrated proficiency in spells beyond his peers... well, that didn't help him out of trouble."

"Calling for help in time is the right choice, but what we need to lament most is..."

When Ryan said this, he also stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly.

The next moment, everyone saw a magical light curtain.

Above the light curtain, Draco was surrounded by dead vines and let go of Harry's hand.

"Sacrifice—a brave sacrifice."

"Even in the face of darkness and danger, Mr. Malfoy still made a brave choice... This courage earned him the qualification to join the Pavatto Club."

Ryan said calmly.

So at this moment, Draco Malfoy looked at Ryan with an incredible look.

His expression was filled with surprise, shame, anger and worry.

The reason for his surprise was that he successfully joined the Pavatu Club.

This meant that he had completed the task given to him by the Dark Lord.

And his shame and anger were justified - in public, people saw him being saved by Potter...

"Damn Elias!"

Draco almost felt his skin burning from the subtle looks from the little wizards in the Snake Courtyard.

Social death came so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

And this is also where his concerns come from.

His behavior in the maze wouldn't make the Dark Lord suspicious of him, right?

At this moment, Ryan naturally saw all of Draco's expression.

Ryan had naturally anticipated this.

His idea is simple.

First of all, what he said was true.

Draco has good academic performance and is also talented in spells. He is considered an excellent student.

And his attitude towards Harry and others in this maze is enough to prove that Ryan's previous view was not wrong - he is not hopeless.

And now that Draco has been exposed, Ryan doesn't mind him joining the Pavatu Club - it won't cause any harm.

After all, if even a second-year wizard spy whose identity has been confirmed is enough to escape the control of him and Dumbledore.

They should just give up fighting Voldemort and surrender directly, which would be more dignified.

So on the contrary - the existence of Draco Malfoy makes it easier for Ryan to observe Voldemort's actions.

This is also the reason why he deliberately showed the situation of Draco and Harry in this test.

Just like Draco's worries - Voldemort would certainly be angry about this, but would he vent his anger on Draco?

of course not.

Draco was just a second-year wizard - he successfully completed his mission and joined the Pavat Club.

Even if Voldemort was stupid, Ryan didn't think he would really be angry with a second-year wizard under such circumstances.

That was pointless and didn't even demonstrate his power.

He would only take out his anger on Draco's parents... He would only further doubt Lucius Malfoy's loyalty.

And that’s important to Ryan.

Because now that he has realized that something is not right with the Malfoy family, he really needs to find out what the current situation of Lucius Malfoy and his wife is.

With the help of this test, he might be able to determine the situation of Lucius Malfoy, and even find some traces of Voldemort.

Thinking of this, Ryan also spoke softly.

In silence, he said something.

And at the same time.

In the audience, Dumbledore, who was chatting happily with Professor Marchbanks, was also stunned.

He seemed to be listening to something, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
