More and more young wizards gathered in the yard, looking at the examiners with awe.
Several seventh-year students exclaimed when they saw Marchbank's wrinkled face.
"To be honest, every time I come, I am treated as a troll." Tofty muttered.
Felix smiled and said, "These people are eager to see their Norns goddess."
"I am not the goddess of fate, we are wizards."
This day is destined to be long, especially for fifth-year and seventh-year students, but Felix has done what he should do, and the rest depends on them.
At 9:30 the next morning, the wizard level examination officially began.
The spacious auditorium was converted into an examination hall for students to take theoretical exams; several small rooms next to the auditorium were sorted out as classrooms for practical examinations.
Theory in the morning, practical in the afternoon, the whole process lasts for two weeks.
Felix took a glance at the time between teaching other grades. The whole auditorium was quiet, except for the sound of feather pens rubbing against parchment and the tiny sound of sand sliding in the hourglass. He turned around and went to teach the sixth grade wizards.
Felix strode into the classroom with a pile of parchment.
"Today we will announce the results."
The top students headed by Percy, Penelope, and Geoffrey did not dare to breathe, as if waiting for their fate.
"A total of 33 test papers, 12 excellent, 17 good, and 4 qualified." Felix read out the overall results: "Congratulations!" He handed out the test papers.
The male and female wizards in the audience applauded violently, whispered to each other, and were beaming with joy.
"Of course, I must mention one more thing."
The students quieted down and looked at Professor Hepp on the stage.
"This result excludes the practical bonus points. If these extra points are counted... I think I need to correct it: 15 excellent, 18 good."
A new line of handwritten words appeared on their test papers. That was the bonus points for the practical part, which was about the application of 'practical magic runes'. The evaluation level on the test paper also changed accordingly.
The male and female wizards were overjoyed, and a huge celebration broke out in the classroom.
"We will explain the test papers in this class, and continue with the practical class in the next class."
...
With two grades less to attend, Felix had a lot of extra time, and he spent all of this time in the library. It was not
until the weekend morning that he saw his assistant.
She was writing a paper.
"Is there any professor so inhumane? There are still homework after the final exam..." Felix looked at the busy figure and guessed in his heart. There
are less than two weeks left before the end of this school year, and for lower grades, professors generally exempt homework.
In the evening, he solved this confusion.
The little witch said to him excitedly: "Professor, didn't you suggest that I check the relationship between wands and wizards? And you recommended me a book "Wizards and Wands"? "
"That's true." Felix replied.
"I took a quick look at it before and found it very interesting. In fact, I was fascinated by it. It wasn't until the end of the final exam that I finally had time."
Hermione said to him, "I want to write a paper on it, not for publication but just for fun."
Felix asked with interest, "Have you finished it?"
"Only part of it. A lot of it is information I copied, and I haven't formed a complete thinking yet." She took out a stack of parchment from her schoolbag and handed it to Felix. "There are my scribbles and annotations on it, as well as scattered ideas and so on. It may be a bit messy..."
"It doesn't matter."
Felix said, "You can do something else first, such as watching a movie." He picked up this "half-paper" and started watching.
Hermione, who was standing by, skillfully turned on the small projector, rummaged through the small box, and picked out the film she liked.
After hesitating for a moment between "Wuthering Heights" and "Tom and Jerry", Hermione finally decided to watch something lighter. The former was too heavy for her.
Felix blocked his ears and read slowly. He soon found that this was indeed a paper for entertainment. It contained the wand data of some friends around the little witch.
For example, Harry Potter's wand was eleven inches, holly wood, phoenix feathers, soft and flexible.
The little witch's annotation was: "Holly wood is a rare wand material. It is generally believed that this material has defensive properties, represents patience and persistence, and also symbolizes death and rebirth. It is suitable for people who need to overcome irritability and emotional impulses."
"Phoenix feathers are difficult to tame."
She drew two lines on "overcome irritability and emotional impulses";
"But holly wands often choose wizards who have experienced danger together and have strong spiritual pursuits. The specific performance will be coordinated with the wand core material. "
Holly wood and phoenix feather wands are extremely difficult to make. They will have huge conflicts due to their different characteristics. But once this combination is formed, nothing can stop it. "
Hermione underlined the last sentence and put a question mark, which may be disagreement or doubt.
There is also Ron Weasley's wand, 14 inches, willow, unicorn hair.
The little witch's note is: Willow, also a rare material, has healing power (?), suitable for casting silent spells.
Unicorn hair: strongly repel dark magic, very loyal, usually the best match with the first owner.
She underlined "very loyal" and "the best match with the first owner", and wrote a line of small words next to it, "It is consistent with the situation of Ron and Neville. Ron's old wand came from his brother Charlie, and Neville's old wand was inherited from his father. The core material of the wand is unicorn hair."
Seeing this, Felix was a little surprised. In this day and age, besides Ron Weasley, there are still people using old wands?
Or are they from two famous wizard families?
What do their parents think?
The surname Longbottom is not an ordinary character. Although it is not a representative of pure blood, it has also produced many outstanding wizards, and their reputation has always been good.
The paper also included an introduction to Hermione's own wand: fourteen inches, made of vine wood, with a dragon heartstring as the core.
Below was a slightly scribbled note: 'Grapevine wands are usually chosen by wizards with lofty goals and foresight, who often do things that shock their friends who think they know them.'
Felix smiled softly, and it seemed that Miss Granger was not very calm when she wrote this.
He then flipped through it, and there were examples of her classmates and examples copied from the book "Wizards and Wands".
Somewhat surprisingly, he also saw Hermione's guess about her own wand: Professor Hep, about twelve to fourteen inches, ebony, unknown wand core, possibly a phoenix feather or a dragon heart key.
Next to it was a very small two-letter abbreviation, Felix guessed, it might mean dark magic, so unicorn hair was ruled out?
'The appearance of ebony is impressive. Ebony wands are very suitable for offensive magic and transfiguration. They will choose people who have the courage to be themselves, not follow the crowd, be mavericks, or immerse themselves in the state of outsiders. Their owners often ignore external pressure and have firm beliefs.'
She marked heavily on 'Ignore external pressure, firm beliefs'.
