Chapter 635: "Mind-like"

Whether it is the O.W.Ls test for the fifth grader or the N.E.W.Ts test for the seventh grader, the written part tests the theoretical level of the little wizards. In the practical part, it is more about the application.
Just like the first test question Harry encountered, most students can do it by letting the wine glass turn over. But if you want to win the praise of the examiner, you need to show something different.
Because of this, Harry's question may seem simple, but in fact it may not be easier to get a good score than Ron's test.
At the very least, if Ron can fill all five cups, he will certainly not be bad. And it wo n’t be like
let the wine glass somersault
, if you do n’t pay attention, you will be astonished.
Here, after thinking hard for a while, Ron thought of Maca's strange and amazing frozen magic. The unheard of magic was beyond his reach, but freezing a glass of water would not stump him.
"Chill like ice."
When he waved his wand and tapped lightly on the cup full of water, with a mantra chanting, the water in the cup suddenly "kala" from the edge of the cup he struck. It's ice.
"Floating off."
After the original Frozen Charm was completed, the second spell was read with extra caution from his mouth. With the success of the spell, the icy frozen ice leaped from the glass and landed firmly on the table.
To be honest, Ron actually wants to get started right now. However, the practice test of magic curse is currently being conducted. What if the examiner deducts the points without saying anything?
"Grow fast!"
The third curse is the expansion spell. This spell works best when applied to solids. If he freezes the water in advance, even if he uses his milk, he can make a glass of water into two glasses.
"Then ... uh, fragmented! Oh ..."
At this point, Ron was a little messy. Although this spell can be found in the first grade "Standard Spells Elementary", it is a relatively easy-to-use spell. But you can see that it will be repeatedly explained and practiced in the next few semesters. This is an easy-to-learn difficult spell.
To put it simply, it is not convenient to control the intensity when cutting hard objects, and an accidental accident will be accompanied by the things under the target.
This time, Ron's cutting spell was obviously a bit flawed. Although the table was not a big deal, the enlarged ice mule exploded violently. Two of the five pieces passed over the brim of the old witch examiner on the opposite side, and the other one went straight diagonally across the other. Candidates went.
"Small, be careful—" "Bang!"
It was Dean Thomas. He was in the same dormitory as Ron and Harry. He was a boy with dark hair and dark skin. When the ice cube flew towards his back, he was trying to use magic spells to make the seedlings in the pot grow and bloom!
However, with a scream, Thomas' wand straightly poked into the dirt of the flowerpot. Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion sound was scattered along with a large amount of fresh dirt, splashing several people around.
"Oh, oh ..." Ron vomited Saturn in his mouth, and then said with annoyed expression, "Sorry Dean, uh ... sorry, dear lady."
There was so much noise in the examination room that Ron thought it would be over again. In the morning, the curse theory papers were not completed, and in the afternoon, this kind of cricket moth appeared again. This course of magic curse science was completely hopeless.
Who knows, the cold-faced old witch on the other side just took off her hat and gently shook off the dirt, then she waved her hands expressionlessly.
"Mr. Ron Weasley, are you planning to give up?"
"Oh, I ... can I continue?" Ron immediately said in surprise. "Eh ... wait, I'll do it! That ... floats!"
Ron frowned when he saw that he could still complete the exam. He hurriedly recalled the flying ice cubes with a floating spell, and then put the five cut ice cubes one by one into the cup, and carefully started melting the ice cubes with the fire spell.
In this test, he did not use any difficult spells from beginning to end. If there is any difficulty in this area, it is probably the very basic "flame".
Use the fire spell to warm the contents of the cup. Maca has used it in the pig's head bar. The effect of heating butter beer is quite good. So in those curse materials, he added this little eye-catching trick to his hand.
Ron, who has a high threshold for learning, is hard to use, so he put a lot of effort into this easy-to-use curse. It can be seen that the performance in the exam at this moment is still good.
At least, the cold old witch on the opposite side could not help seeing a little light when he saw this little trick.
Frozen a glass of water and then swell it to enlarge it, and finally cut and melt it. It is barely to fill all five empty glasses with half of the water. Although the expansion spell is sometimes effective, the application of this series of spells is enough for the examiner to score a good score.
After glancing at the cup, the old witch picked up the notepad with Ron's file and wrote a few words:
"The curse level is medium to high, and it has the flexibility of multiple spells to match the application. Certain spells (such as the fire spell) have clever use of ideas and finer control capabilities."
After a little thought, she added a little bit next to it: "Mind, not confident enough."
In fact, there are many ways to answer this question. If you are smart enough, you can easily fill five cups with a glass of water by simply casting a reduction spell on the cup. Of course, each student's aptitude is different, and the importance of smartness and practical effort is naturally equal.
Since then, Ron's practical examination has continued, but nothing unexpected happened. After the old witch examiner had finished scoring and signing on the file, Ron finally came out of the auditorium with a belly.
"Ron, how?" As soon as Harry and Hermione were at the door when they saw him coming out, they immediately rushed up. "Dean just complained that your ice cube hit his back and hurt him The examiner's face was muddy with mud ... "
"Oh ..." Ron heard the words and said with a bitter expression, "I think I have to go to Dean to apologize or something! I hope I didn't let him fail ..."
...
Besides not mentioning that Ron was still frowning over the whole day of "bad luck", the examination in the auditorium is still going on! When the O.W.Ls' curse practice test was over, it was followed by the graduate's nightmare-the practical content of N.E.W.Ts.
As far as the theoretical exam in the morning is concerned, everyone is a test paper and a pen, and it's gone, and we can't see any difference. But in the afternoon practical exam, the gap between the two was immediately revealed.
You don't have to go in and watch. In the period from then until the evening comes, there is always a lot of chaos in the closed hall. The sound of explosions, crashes, the sound of fluids ... and even occasionally I can see the flickering of the window fire, it is really lively.
With each passing moment, one or two seventh-grade students with happy or worried expressions came out of the gate, and then the lintel was closed tightly again.
Fortunately, not many students can take N.E.W.Ts courses. Although everyone's examination time is obviously not short, when the sunset reflects the entire castle and a layer of dazzling golden light, the whole day's noise is finally coming to an end.
After the last student was sent away, the examiners in the auditorium picked up their belongings one after another, and Maca, who was in charge of entertaining the old professors, went along with Professor Fleeve.
"I can't believe it. I thought the mischief would cheat in the exam! But they even finished the exam honestly ..."
As he walked ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Little Flivi whispered to Maca, his face was obviously a little surprised.
"Hey," Maca smiled. "I reminded them both long ago that if they cheated, I would first report it! These twins are very good. If you take the test well, your grades would not be difference."
"Yes!" Professor Flitwick shook his head. "The two children are just too noisy ..."
"It's a bit noisy ..." Maca shrugged. "But now they have graduated. Hogwarts is afraid to be quieter ... Believe me, Professor Flitwick, we will miss them sooner or later. Those days that are still there! "
After all, he looked up and nodded to several old wizards, with a little respect: "Professor Marchiban, Professor Tofudi ... Everyone is working hard today, please take a rest in the side hall! Have a little more In a moment, you can enjoy a rich dinner at Hogwarts! "
"Thank you, we are looking forward to it."
The leading Ms. Machiban is wearing an old-fashioned wizard robe, with simple tones and no ornaments. She looks like a sloppy old lady. She has neatly combed silver hair, with a smile on her face, but those deep eyes are more calm.
But to be honest, this is actually a good old lady who speaks, at least that's what Maca thinks-although she sometimes makes people feel too serious.
"Mr. McLean, if necessary, we can help you restore the auditorium together." She glanced at the auditorium, "I have read here many years ago ... seriously, every year Come here and look at me, it makes me feel like I'm a few years younger! "
