HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Licorice gave Kreacher some instructions and asked him to go back first.

"If anything special happens, come and tell me. As far as I know, something big might happen next year or the year after. You should stay at the old Black house at 12 Grimmauld Place and try not to go out in public." Lycoris was still worried about Kreacher's life.

She also didn't want Kreacher to be kicked out of Black House by Sirius. After all, Draco was not yet an adult and had not officially inherited Black House.

Licorice mentioned the matter again, "After I graduate, I will do what I promised you."

Kreacher has been waiting for so many years to make Master Riel's wish come true, and he also knows that she is a student now and can't do anything, so he naturally won't force her to fulfill her promise and do what she promised to do.

"Kreacher knows. Do you need Kreacher to keep an eye on those annoying people in the Black mansion?" Kreacher looked at the girl and continued to ask, "Should I come here immediately in a situation like today?"

"Just remember today's discussion of the past. If we discuss the future, such as who will secretly return to Hogwarts to do what or what plans they have, tell me as soon as possible." Licorice thought for a moment and took out the alchemy equipment for magic screen recording from her wrist bag, "This can be recorded."

Lycoris was afraid that Kreacher would not remember too much of the conversation, so she gave him one of the alchemy supplies that she had made for Cedric's public classes at the Good Hunger Club. After all, house elves couldn't write English words, so it was impossible for them to write a diary every day and send it to him.

After teaching him how to use it, Lycoris watched Kreacher disappear.

Lying on the bed, Licorice was still very unhappy.

The heavy workload allowed Licorice to temporarily hide her unhappiness. Nothing was more important than the OWLs exams now.

Time passed quickly, and the day when Lycoris bet that the Weasley twins would leave had arrived.

During this period, Licorice has been preparing for the OWLs exam, and getting full marks is her only goal.

Licorice also spent more time in the Good Hunger Club, spending almost every day there. She taught others and discussed topics that she was undecided about with Hermione. She also taught lower grade students regularly and held exchange meetings with fifth grade students.

In order to notify everyone in time, Lycoris suggested using the badge changes she and Pansy agreed on in second grade to have different meanings - if the badge turned into Lycoris, it meant that Lycoris had something to do and they had to gather at the Good Hunger Club after class.

Pansy's was her favorite white wings, Hermione's was her patronus, and so on. Every teacher found a pattern they liked to represent themselves.

Lycoris had no extracurricular activities except going to the Quidditch match to watch Draco practice, so she didn't know that Hagrid had taken Harry, Hermione and Weasley to meet his brother Grawp.

June.

Licorice felt the atmosphere of the OWLs exam, which was very similar to the urgency of the college entrance examination.

Professors no longer assign homework. Those who do not have a paper after class need to fill in the gaps on their own. Teachers are also trying their best to predict the topics in class.

Students also began to compete with each other in study time. As soon as Li Kelisi entered the hall, she heard McMillan shouting that he could study for eight hours - even ten hours during holidays.

Lycoris couldn't help laughing, which made Draco confused.

"Did you hear anything funny?" Draco looked around, but nothing interesting happened.

Pansy was also very curious, she even looked around and saw that Pott and Weasley were not in the hallway.

Nott rolled his eyes and looked at the source of the voice, the Hufflepuff student. Licorice laughed because she heard him say that he studied for eight hours. That's right, we all start with ten hours now.

Especially Lycoris, she is almost always studying.

"Nothing. I just heard someone's heartbroken sound in advance." Lycoris didn't explain and sat down at the Slytherin table.

Draco was curious as if a cat was scratching his head, so he leaned over to ask her, "Heartbroken? I haven't seen anyone fail in confession, have I?"

Licorice glared at Nott, then explained, "It's not about love, it's about study."

Why are you glaring at me? I didn't ask Draco to read my book; he wanted to read it on his own.

Nott glared back and said, "Tell him not to read my novel."

Licorice shook her head and said, "Look at Draco. He has become sexually obsessed because of reading your novels. He thinks everything is "love."

Someone was indeed heartbroken, and it was Ron Weasley.

When Hermione, Harry and Ron came in, they also heard what McMillan said.

"Eight hours! Harry!" Ron's eyes widened and he pulled Harry beside him, his voice trembling, "Did you hear that? He said he reads for eight hours a day!"

"Maybe including class time, we have eight hours." Harry glanced at McMillan, he was very proud.

"Then he'll study for two days over the weekend, ten hours!" Ron suddenly felt the importance of the OWLs exam. Even Hufflepuff students loved studying as much as Ravenclaw students.

"So?" Harry asked uncertainly, "What happened to you?"

"The two of us don't even study ten hours a day combined!" Ron felt like the sky was falling.

Harry was very good at balancing study time, and he comforted Ron, "It's okay, with Hermione, we can all study for ten hours."

Lycoris also heard it and turned to look at Potter.

He is really good at balancing things. If my magical powers are equal to Dumbledore's, I can even fight against the Dark Lord!

"Oh! Harry, you can't be so even! I admit that I study for more than ten hours a day, that's true." Hermione rolled her eyes and teased her friend Harry, "The study time can be evenly distributed, but my OWLs exam results can't be evenly distributed with yours."

"Yeah, I feel like I won't be able to graduate!" Ron thought about his grades, and considering that Hermione and Harry had promised Hagrid to help take care of his brother, he felt that the future was bleak.

"If you follow my study plan and pass the three OWLs, you can still go to the sixth grade." Hermione comforted Ron, "Three subjects, easy, right?"

Stupid Weasley, failed all three exams.

After listening to the conversation over there, Draco raised his eyebrows and began to sarcastically say, "Someone can't even pass three exams. It seems that it's better to drop out of school and go home to avoid embarrassment."

"What does it have to do with you whether I pass the exam or not?" Ron was worried about his own business. He couldn't stand Draco's boasting. "You talk as if you've learned it well."

"At least I don't have to compare my OWLs scores with others!" Draco said in a sly tone, "You and Potega won't pass as many subjects as I do."
