Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 65 Accident at the testing ground

It took the third-year students of Hogwarts two days to cross the strait and arrive at Hella Port on the Shadow Island. Although the time was short, they could not conceal their excitement when they saw solid land.

"Do you think our parents will regret their decision to let us come here after knowing what we have experienced?" Aurora stepped on the land happily. There were constant waves along the way, and once she even felt the boat being thrown up.

"I guess they won't regret it. Even if we tell them, it's useless if the boat is thrown up by the waves." Winters' only hope now is to finish those boring tests quickly and go home.

"Harry, what's wrong with Ron?" Winters saw Ron's face looking very ugly.

"He was fine originally, but after that huge wave hit, he started to get seasick - Ron, it's okay, we are on land now" Harry supported Ron.Ron, on the other hand, looked sick.

While they were talking, Professor McGonagall had arrived with Madam Pomfrey, and Hermione was right behind Professor McGonagall.

"This child needs to rest. He is very seasick. I brought seasickness medicine," Madam Pomfrey said immediately.

"Then take this student with you and follow me. I will take you to the medical room," an Auror said seriously.

"Now everyone, led by their respective superiors, go to the dormitory. Remember that you are not allowed to leave the base after 7:30 pm. Anyone who feels any discomfort must report to Madam Pomfrey or the resident doctor. The most important thing is , the cafeteria is directly north of the residence of Hufflepuff students." Professor McGonagall emphasized any word very strongly.

Gryffindor, led by Percy, walked towards their temporary residence, a domed building. Surrounding the building were a large number of obsidian stone tablets engraved with ancient runes. On these stone tablets were engraved a series of horizontal lines and triangles. The symbol seems to mean great and strong.These ancient magic texts glowed quietly.

"There are still two days left before the test. You should make full use of these two days - I am not asking you to review and read before going to bed - I mean to know the way well and don't get lost. If you have any questions, please immediately Contact the resident Aurors and doctors" and Percy left.

"I want to rest. I'm too tired. I didn't sleep a wink all night after that huge wave hit me," Aurora said sleepily.

"Me too -" Winters couldn't help but yawned, "It's time to rest."After he returned to the dormitory, he found that Ron had not returned yet.

"How much do you know about these tests?" Neville's anxiety was written all over his face.

"There's no need to worry too much. The results of this test will only affect some career choices. I asked Slyer's father, and he made it clear that he didn't look at this at all when it came to Hogwarts' signature professors." Winters squinted. Eyes said.

"But if I don't become an Auror, I will embarrass my parents. They are both Aurors - I mean I also want to be an Auror." Neville added the last sentence inexplicably.

"Aurors have their own training content, and the score of this test is just a reference. I read it in history class, don't worry too much," Harry said immediately.

"It's 5 p.m. and who wants to go to a restaurant? The best way to get close to anxiety is a delicious meal." Winters found himself unable to sleep at all.

"Why do I get hungry when you say that?" Harry sat up suddenly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and take a seat." Neville agreed very much with Winters' proposal.When they arrived at the restaurant, it became apparent that Winters wasn't the only one who thought so.Although many students have dark circles under their eyes, they still make their first stop in the restaurant.

"We almost ran out of seats," Winters said, waving to Aurora.She was talking to Slyer.Hermione arrived after a while, holding a magazine in her hand called "Improving Your Comprehensive Ability Score in One Day".

"Hermione, what are you doing reading this? It's useless." Winters found that the name of this magazine gave people a very unreliable feeling.

"Just think of it as stress relief," Hermione said irritably.

"Is Ron okay?" Harry asked concerned.

"Madam Pomfrey said he needs plenty of rest" Hermione picked up a glass of juice and drank it in one gulp.

Ron was discharged from the hospital in high spirits the next day. Then they spent 2 hours a day getting familiar with the base and memorizing the locations of the dining hall, examination room, and dormitories.

The night before the exam, everyone got a card with a number written on it. Percy explained that this was the exam serial number. There were 30 people in a group. Winters was number 15, Harry was number 1, Ron and Nana were number 8. Wei was ranked 11th and [-]th respectively.They were already not very nervous, but these cards with numbers made them approach the exam with trepidation.

The next day, they were led to the examination room by a serious witch.The examination room is a very large room.There is a circle of Aurors standing in this room. These Aurors are looking at the venue without saying a word, always ready to deal with emergencies.

"Everyone, listen, it's shameless to be afraid. Showing off is the stupidest behavior. If you think you can't handle it, leave immediately. If you don't understand, I'll put it simply: a lot of troubles are caused by nothing. It's caused by self-aware people. You will get a passing grade if you leave, and you will only get a failing grade if you show off. If you don't have anything to say, then just listen to the announcer's call." Then she led the first group of students Arrive at the waiting area.

A few minutes later, the number call started, and the first one was Harry. He faced two red hats.The biggest difference between these red hats and the teaching tools in Hogwarts classrooms is their size. They are at least twice larger than the teaching tools at Hogwarts, and have fangs that may be 2 cm long. Their eyes Same as snake.The biggest difference is that these red hats make no sound at all.

The moment the two red hats were released, they rushed towards Harry at extremely fast speeds.Harry's position as the youngest Seeker relies on his reaction speed.

Harry seemed stunned for a moment, and then jumped away at extremely fast speed. While avoiding the red hat, he launched a counterattack.

"Passed out!"

The glowing red curse hit a red hat squarely on the face. It was knocked away and then fell heavily to the ground.Another red hat was stunned when he saw his accomplice being knocked down.Since it's not night here, it doesn't know what to do.

"Full marks." An Auror who looked like an examiner nodded with satisfaction.

"Next, No. 15 - it seems that this class of students can't make a difference," the caller said easily.

Winters walked to the testing site nervously, not knowing what he was going to face.After a while, two Aurors brought up a box, which looked a bit like Professor Lupin's box. It should be a Boggart, but it was much larger than Professor Lupin's.Then a wizard drew a purple line with his wand five meters away from the box.

"When you're ready, come up to this purple line," the examiner said to Winters.

Winters took a deep breath and walked to the purple line.He didn't forget the first time he faced a Boggart.

Seconds later, the box in front of Winters shattered and turned into what would be Winters' eternal nightmare: the remains of Eisen's entire family.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Winters felt his blood freeze and his mind went blank.

Winters immediately closed his eyes, then took several deep breaths, trying Occlumency to no avail. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the horrific sight.

"Funny... slippery... funny funny" his spell was weak.This feeling of powerlessness was intertwined with the scene in front of him, strongly stimulating every nerve in his brain.Stimulated by fear and despair, a strong idea formed in his mind: kill this Boggart, kill it at any cost.

"Get out of here!" Winters roared in sudden rage, waving his wand like a sword.

A gleaming purple spell composed of flames and dazzling lightning rushed from the tip of his wand, accompanied by a huge noise, as if something huge rushed across the room.

Then there was a loud "click".The Boggart was burned by that terrible curse, leaving only a thin layer of charred powder.The faces of the Aurors present were pale, and many of them had no color at all.

At this time, Winters was stunned on the spot as if he had been petrified, his eyes were filled with rage, and a bone-eroding white cold air was rising from his body.The prospect of losing something, finding it again, and losing it again gnawed at his sanity.And the cold air coming out of his body was constantly changing its shape.

"Child... you... you got perfect marks... you got perfect marks... didn't you hear?" The examiner was frightened, and the Aurors around him seemed to be petrified.

"What are you talking about?" Winters turned his head mechanically and asked the examiner.His voice was like the freezing north wind.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Harry wouldn't have believed that the man in front of him was Winters.

Harry later told Winters that he saw a scarlet light flash in Winters' eyes.

"Winters, you're perfect!" Aurora's voice pulled Winters out of that terrible state.After hearing Aurora's voice, Winters was stunned for a moment, and he felt something coming back.

"What did you say? Full marks?" Winters asked as if he was sleepwalking.

"Full marks, if you don't believe it, I'll show it to you." Aurora was very excited and showed Winters the score sheet that was placed in front of the examiner.It read: Winters Renault, perfect.

"Oh...Yeah...I don't believe it...I'm just a little confused." Winters shook his head.

"Aurora, take Winters to the lounge. I think he is too nervous." Professor McGonagall's face was as white as printing paper.She paused and continued:

"Others, you still have tests to do. Concentrate on the test. Two students have already received two full marks. It's not as difficult as you think."

Harry looked at Winters' pace as if he was sleepwalking, and then looked at the frightened people around him, as well as the Boggart who was burned to ashes. He had a terrible thought that he couldn't get rid of. It took root in his mind that this friend of his, Winters Renault, might one day have his wand pointed at him.
