For most students, they have not left the castle for a year because of the Yule Ball.

That’s why they’re looking forward to the holidays this year more than any other time.

Kyle received another large pile of books, and this time, even Cedric, Qiu and Connor joined in.

They wrote a long list of spells that might help on parchment and gave them to Kyle.

"The directional spell will definitely work, I guarantee it."

Cedric said, "It makes the wand always point to due north, and the Quidditch pitch happens to be to the north, which means that as long as you follow the wand, you will definitely find where the trophy is."

"Are you sure that the direction in the maze is correct?"

Qiu retorted: "Don't forget that during the first project, the scene the warriors experienced was completely different from what we saw."

"But it's still useful as a reference, isn't it?" Cedric said, "It's better to know the direction than to know nothing at all."

"You're right." Qiu glanced at him, "But if a directional spell can find the right path, then this project is a bit too simple. I don't think Professor Dumbledore didn't think of such an obvious problem.

"So the Crushing Spell is more important. Once the hedge is blown up, we won't be affected by the maze and can keep moving forward."

"I don't think a Shattering Charm can destroy the hedges that make up the maze," Cedric muttered.

It wasn't the first time they had argued about which spell was more effective, and everyone had good reasons, as if they were having a competition... The one Kyle agreed with would win.

The winner will usually be proud of himself for the whole day and will continue competing the next day, never getting tired of it.

In order to give himself some peace and quiet, Kyle had no choice but to choose both.

It’s just a matter of a word anyway. After all, he has basically read all the spells recommended by the two.

Kanna was different, she gave potions.

Buffy's brain wakener, sobering potion, various detoxifying, healing, and stamina-enhancing potions, as well as dangerous corrosive potions, and the fireproof potion that Snape used to protect the Philosopher's Stone, were all sent to Kyle in bottles.

At the end, she even brought a bottle of golden Felicis... but Kyle confiscated it.

Part of the reason was that she was afraid of being hunted down by Snape. After all, with Connor's current ability, it was obviously not enough to brew the Felicia Potion. It was clear where the potion came from.

Those ordinary potions were just collected. Even if Snape knew about it, he would just be a little angry and deduct a few points from him.

But the Felicis Potion is different. Even for Snape, it is not easy to make it. It is almost like putting a label on it saying "For Connor's use only".

If Kyle accepted it, I guess even Dumbledore might not be able to protect him.

Besides, there was actually a bottle of Kanna's Felicity Potion in his box.

It was a Christmas gift Snape gave her when she was in first grade, but Connor often lost things at that time, so Kyle suggested that he help keep them.

But later when he wanted to return it, Connor refused to want it and said that she gave it to Kyle... But Snape probably didn't know about this.

Another reason is that in an important event like the Triwizard Tournament, the Felicity Potion will definitely be banned...

The role of the referee is not just to score. For them, they can basically tell at a glance whether the warriors have drunk the Felicity Lactase.

After Kyle's explanation, Kanna reluctantly put the Felicia back.

Soon, there was less than a week left until the competition began.

But he didn't know whether the other party discovered them or for some other reason, but he didn't meet Karkaroff again until the third project was about to begin.

One of them was on the ship, and the other was on the Quidditch field, and it was like this every day.

Although Fred and George were disappointed, they had to stop their actions temporarily.

Because it's exam week.

No matter how much they don't care about grades, if they want to survive the holiday safely, they have to get a score that's not that bad.

Along with it comes the OWL . For the fifth-year students, at least for this week, even the upcoming Triwizard Tournament cannot pull their minds away from their textbooks, or they have to force themselves to focus on the books.

…

The day before the game, the lunch table in the auditorium was bustling with activity.

Kanna was not paying attention to the noisy discussions around her. She was holding a thick book and looking for something in it.

Read more of the latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

Qiu was sitting next to her, with a thick book open in front of her as well.

“I didn’t expect OWL to be so much harder than the usual final exams… I made many mistakes in yesterday’s Transfiguration exam.

"Oh, as expected, there are three things to pay attention to when doing multiple transformations, but I can only think of two. If I can't get into the advanced class because of this, then..."

"Relax, Qiu, don't be so nervous." Cedric handed her a glass of pumpkin juice.

“OWL is like this, the difficulty may make you feel a little uncomfortable.

“I felt the same way at first. I felt like I had done a lot of mistakes and was so nervous that I couldn’t sleep… But when the scores came out, they weren’t as bad as I thought.

I heard that the Wizarding Examinations Authority has a separate scoring standard for OWL, which is different from our usual final exams."

"But I did write it wrong." Qiu didn't look much relieved. She didn't even want to eat now. She always felt that there were still many things she had not remembered, and wanted to read more before the next exam.

Kanna had the same idea. Although she was eating, her eyes never left the contents of the book.

As for Mikel and Ryan...the two of them had completely gone into silence, sitting there in a daze, as if they had lost their souls, and were trying to stuff steak into their nostrils.

However, Kyle did not have this problem. When he went to the classroom with Kanna this morning, he was told that as one of the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament, he did not have to take the OWL exam.

"They originally wanted to arrange a special exam for you after the Triwizard Tournament, but I don't think it's necessary.

Professor Marchbank, who was over a hundred years old, stood at the door and said, "I have seen your previous results... at least during the time I was presiding over the exams, no one scored higher than you, including Dumbledore.

"And the article you wrote for Transfiguration Today, to be honest, it would have received full marks even in the Transfiguration NEWT exam.

"So do whatever you want to do, prepare for the third competition, or just relax and enjoy the scenery... You don't need to waste time on parchment."

So, with Professor Marchbank's special permission, Kyle sat in the empty common room for the entire morning.

To be honest, it's quite boring.
