When Kyle returned to the common room after dinner, he saw Laton standing on the windowsill.

It looked exhausted, with drooping eyes, and its body had visibly become thinner. Its once beautiful feathers had become dull and looked gray.

After seeing Kyle, Rodan raised his head and flapped his wings, trying to fly over. However, halfway through the flight, he began to fall continuously due to exhaustion.

Kyle rushed forward to catch it.

"I remember this is your owl."

Cedric, who was standing next to him, looked at Laton who had fallen asleep in Kyle's arms and asked in confusion, "How many letters did you let it deliver? How come it is so weak?"

"Just one... but I think it misunderstood what I meant."

Kyle carefully placed Raton on the couch next to him and removed an envelope from his paw.

It was a reply letter, and the handwriting on the envelope was Newt's.

Obviously, Rodan did not deliver the letter to Dorset as Kyle had instructed and then come back, but flew directly to find Newt. No wonder it took so long to come back.

Kyle shook his head with a bit of a smile...this silly bird.

Tomorrow is the final exam. In order to ensure that they can be in a good mental state the next day, the little wizards went to bed early.

Kyle ruffled the feathers on Laton's neck, sat down beside him and opened the envelope.

Inside was a brief reply.

"Kyle: I'm surprised to receive your letter from such a far place. I've thought about what you said. The venom of the Winged Demon is not corrosive at all, and it only targets the brain, and has no effect on plants.

But I have checked the piece of wood you sent, and it does contain the ingredients of the venom of the curled-winged demon. This is a very important discovery. As soon as things here are finished, we will go to Hogwarts immediately.

(Your father asked me to tell you to stay away from dangerous things. Dumbledore is always with you.) - Newt Scamander.

After reading the reply, Kyle closed his eyes and sat there silently thinking about something.

Hagrid went to the Forbidden Forest that night not because he discovered them taking a night stroll, but because of another person.

After he went deep into the forbidden forest, he probably found the man and fought with him, so there were two rows of messy footprints left next to the tree.

But unfortunately, the opponent had a curled-winged demon, and because of the influence of the venom, Hagrid forgot about this matter.

He forgot that he had been to the Forbidden Forest and forgot everything that happened during that time, so on Christmas Day, Hagrid did not deliver the Christmas tree to the hall at the appointed time.

Because in his memory, Halloween had just passed not long ago.

Now, everything makes sense.

And that curled-winged demon is most likely the escaped fish that the Ministry of Magic has been looking for.

The only question now is who was the person who poisoned Hagrid.

Are they the hidden wizards in the Hog's Head? Or are they some rat hiding in the castle...

After half an hour, Kyle, who had no idea what to do, decided to give up.

Nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up.

Just like what the letter said, Dumbledore will take care of everything. I will be on vacation soon, so why should I worry about this?

Kyle stood up and carried Laton back to the dormitory.

…

The first thing to take is the magic theory test, also known as the written test.

In order to prevent cheating, no one is allowed to bring their own quills and ink and must use the stationery distributed by the school.

But this did not stop the young wizards from cheating.

Katie Bell from Gryffindor entered the classroom nervously. Not long after she sat down, Professor McGonagall came over, ripped off the big red hair ornament on her head, and said coldly:

"Ms. Bell, that's not how the Transfiguration Charm works."

The hair accessory continued to squirm in Professor McGonagall's hand, and soon turned into a piece of parchment covered with small words.

Kyle, who witnessed the whole process, smacked his lips and silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Using Transfiguration to cheat in front of Professor McGonagall... This move was quite shocking in the entire wizarding world.

Apart from anything else, this courage alone is more than 98% of the young wizards. He is worthy of being a Gryffindor.

And those who wrote notes on their clothes were also unable to escape... Professor McGonagall just walked around the classroom and dragged them all out.

As a senior professor and vice-president who has been in charge of Hogwarts for more than 30 years, Professor McGonagall does not need to use props. She can tell who is guilty just by looking at their expressions, and she can always catch them accurately.

When everyone started answering the questions, she was still complaining to Dumbledore in a low voice that he shouldn't have put her in the first-year examination room.

There was not much challenge here. Professor McGonagall felt that she should be invigilating for students in fifth grade and above, where there were many more ways to cheat.

There are potions, alchemical props, gesture spells and everything else.

Especially potions...Buffy's Brain Refresher and Sobering Potion are just the lowest level stuff. It is said that at last year's NEWT, some students even used Felixir, but she didn't see it.

In addition, it is not uncommon for people to try to sneak into the examination room using Polyjuice Potion and the Disillusionment Charm.

Therefore, for professors, invigilating students above the fifth grade is like fighting a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

This might be a torture for other professors, but it was different for Professor McGonagall. She simply loved the feeling of competing wits and courage with her students.

Unfortunately, she was assigned to the Novice Village this year.

An hour later, Professor McGonagall looked at the group of obedient freshmen and complained again: "Albus is such a fool. Why did he insist on having me in the first grade...even the third grade would be fine."

After the written test, there was a practical test. Professor Flitwick asked the students to walk into the classroom one by one to see if they could make a pineapple ride around the classroom on a broomstick.

Of course, the so-called "flying broom" is just a wooden stick with feathers on it.

This was not difficult for Kyle. Not only did he complete the task perfectly, he even manipulated the stick to perform a classic Quidditch trick.

Professor Flitwick gave him a full score on the spot.

Professor McGonagall asked them to turn the rabbit into a brooch. The more exquisite the brooch, the higher the score. If there were still features of the rabbit on it, points would be deducted.

Kyle remembered that he also had a brooch, which was a Christmas gift from Mikel, so he made an identical one.

Professor McGonagall also gave him a full score.

The potion test was about boil potion, which was arguably one of the simplest potions. Although Kyle had brewed a perfect potion, he couldn't guarantee that he would get a high score.

During the exam, Snape almost always stood behind him and kept shaking his head. It went without saying that he would find all kinds of reasons to deduct points.
