Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The owls exam is the most important exam in fifth grade, for everyone.There are a total of twelve courses, each of which requires a full day of exams, with theory in the morning and practice in the afternoon. Not only are professors invigilated, but there are also staff from the Ministry of Magic, which is very strict.

Candidates take the exam according to their own course selection. For most students, they can get one or two days of rest to adjust their status. But for Hermione, who has chosen all the courses, in these two weeks, besides Except for relaxing on Sunday, I have to take exams every other day.

The first week is basically a compulsory course. The questions on Charms, Transfiguration, Herbalism, and Defense Against the Dark Arts are all very difficult, and they are completely different concepts from the final exam.Harry didn't take the ancient runes study on Friday, but there was Divination on Saturday, which he did.

I finally took a rest on Sunday, and before my chaotic brain could fully recover, I started the next week's exam again.Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy and Muggle Studies, with Arithmancy on Friday.I was able to rest for two days and finally recovered.

Saturday is the last exam, History of Magic.This was arguably Harry's worst subject, and in fact he had barely been awake in Professor Binns' class for five years.

History of Magic has no practical part, so the time is set in the afternoon.When Harry woke up in the morning, he wanted to crawl back into bed after breakfast and sleep again, but considering the miserable results he might get, he decided to make do with it temporarily.He forced himself to hold Hermione's thick notes and read them all morning. When he came to the examination room in the afternoon, he was already dizzy.

After the invigilator professor announced the start of the exam, Harry stared blankly at the questions on the test paper, and suddenly realized that he didn't know every one of them. He seemed to know the answer, but he didn't seem to know it. His mind was completely confused.

He heard the rustling sound of quills in his ears. He raised his head and saw Hermione not far ahead who was answering the question seriously, while Ron was pulling his hair frantically.

Looking at the test paper again, the quill began to write on it.But in fact, he himself didn't know what he had written. He had the impression that Hermione's notebook contained much more content about these topics than what he had written.

In a daze, Harry finally finished writing the last question.He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and looked at the hourglass on the podium. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found the familiar black corridor in front of him.

Moving forward along the corridor and passing through doors, he came to the place full of crystal balls again.This time I didn't see Ike, but two other people.

One was covered in black robes, with only one hand holding a wand showing.The other fell to the ground, covered in blood, and would struggle painfully from time to time.

"Deep to the bone!"

"what!"

"Lord Voldemort is waiting..."

"Unless you kill me!" The person on the ground looked up, and that was Sirius' face!

Harry shouted loudly, but the two people didn't hear him at all.The one who stood still tortured Sirius with the Cruciatus Curse, and Sirius still held on firmly and wouldn't let go.

Suddenly, it seemed as if someone bumped into him, and Harry woke up.Opening his eyes, he found that he was back in the examination room.

Unknowingly, the exam time had arrived, and Hermione and Ron were right next to them, with anxious faces on their faces.

"What's wrong with you, buddy, do you want to go to the school hospital?" Ron asked softly.

"No...I'm not going..." Harry patted his head hard, trying to wake it up.

"This doesn't look like everything is okay..." Ron said.

"I'm fine... No, Sirius..."

"Sirius? What's wrong with Sirius?" Hermione asked in confusion, then suddenly realized and asked seriously, "What were you dreaming about again?"

Harry finally woke up and looked around. There were only six people left in the examination room.He, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville and Luna didn't have those pesky investigative teams.

"Voldemort caught Sirius!" He said directly without hesitation.

"what?"

"how come!"

Everyone was shocked, with disbelief on their faces.

"I saw it, just now, during the exam," Harry said.

"Where? How did you catch it?" Ron asked anxiously.

"Department of Mysteries, I told you..." Harry said and stood up suddenly, but his head felt dizzy and he almost fell. He quickly held on to the table in front of him, "He wanted to use Sirius to get That crystal ball, he's torturing him for this, using the Cruciatus Curse... and killing him!"

"We're going to save him!"

"Harry!" Seeing Harry staggering about to run out, Hermione shouted to him.

"Calm down!" Hermione pulled Harry, "Are you really sure that Sirius has been caught?"

"Of course! I'm sure!" Harry said anxiously after trying to break away several times without success, "I can't be wrong! It's the same situation as Mr. Weasley last time!"

"Then we need to confirm, Harry." Hermione said, "It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Magic is full of working people. How could they go in without being discovered? This doesn't make sense!"

"I don't know, it might be the invisibility cloak, or it might be something else... That's Voldemort, he must have a way..."

"I think Harry is right." Ron interrupted, "After all, dad... was like this last time."

"Then we need to confirm!" Hermione glared at Ron, "At least ask to see if Sirius is at the Black Mansion."

"Yes, yes, let's do it..." Harry was convinced, "Go to Umbridge's office, we have to go there!"

"We need a plan." Hermione said. She looked at Luna, Ginny and Neville beside her and said, "We need your help to lure Umbridge away again, and keep a lookout to prevent those annoying people." The guy found out.”

Hermione told several people about her plan, and everyone agreed.Afterwards, they rushed out of the examination room.

Harry immediately returned to the dormitory, found the invisibility cloak and Sirius' knife and left quietly.The dormitory and common room were full of people relaxing after exams. They were discussing having a big party in the evening and didn't even notice Harry leaving.

It only took him 2 minutes to reach the corridor where Umbridge's office was, where Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville were already waiting.

Ron left first, he wanted to find Umbridge and lure her away.Ginny, Luna and Neville lined the corridors, keeping as many people out as possible.Hermione and Harry put on the invisibility cloak. When the people in the corridor were almost gone, Harry used Sirius' knife to pry open the door.

Ignoring the cat portraits all over the room, Harry went straight to the fireplace, grabbed a handful of floo powder and threw it in. At the same time, he stuck his head into the dancing flames and shouted: "Number 12 Grimmauld Place! "

His head was spinning so fast that it made him want to vomit.But not long after, he found his head appearing in the dirty fireplace of Blake's old house, and in front of him was the cold kitchen.

"Sirius! Sirius!" Harry shouted loudly, but did not get a reply from Sirius for a long time.

"Master is out." A voice sounded, and Harry quickly followed the sound and saw Kreacher's ugly face.

"Where did he go? Where is he?" Harry shouted, but Kreacher didn't answer, just sneered.This made Harry angry, but he couldn't care about anything else right now.

"Where's Lupine? Mad-Eye? Is anyone here?"

"There's only Kreacher here, no one else!" Kreacher was very happy, jumping around and about to leave.

"Where did Sirius go? Did he go to the Department of Mysteries?" Harry shouted at Kreacher's leaving figure.

"The master will not come back from the Department of Mysteries! Kreacher can be alone with his mistress again!" Kreacher kept walking and disappeared directly from Harry's eyes.

"You!" Harry shouted angrily, but before he could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the top of his head.There was another uncomfortable spin, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Umbridge's pale face with a terrifying smile in front of him.
