HP solves the mystery

The grass of the Quidditch pitch shimmered in the sun, as if it had just been painted green, and the people practicing inside passed by in mid-air, bringing with them a gust of breeze.

The blue sky reflects on the clear and calm lake, and the calm ripples are broken by the fish showing up and spitting bubbles.

June has arrived as scheduled, and for fifth grade students, it can only mean one thing: their Owl exams are finally here.

Teachers no longer assign homework to them, but focus more on consolidating knowledge; all class time is used to review the questions that teachers think are most likely to appear in the exam, which is euphemistically called quizzes.

This concentrated and anxious atmosphere drove almost everything except the 0.wL exam out of Severus' mind, and he had broken Lily's appointments several times.

Barty Jr. and Andre even wanted to invest in dragon claw powder, saying that it can increase the concentration of others and make your brain brighter for several hours.

But in the end, I was told what kind of animal feces it was, and I lost my appetite for it, so I bought other stabilizers.

In the next Potions class, they learned the specific time of the owL exam and the detailed arrangements during the exam.

"As you can see, please remember," Professor Slughorn said seriously as the students copied the exam date and time on the blackboard, "your owL exam will last for two weeks. At this time you will be in Take the written test in the morning and the practical test in the afternoon. Remember to arrange the time well. Of course, your astronomy practical test is scheduled in the evening. After all, you have to observe the stars...

"Now, I must remind you that cheating is not advisable and that your exam papers are under the strictest anti-cheating spell.

If caught cheating, the consequences would be nothing less than expulsion. It is strictly prohibited to bring self-answering quills into the examination hall, as well as memory balls, removable cuffs and self-correcting ink, so don't panic when it's time to take the exam.

"Although I know this is the most useless reminder for you. But I'm afraid I still have to say that according to statistics from the Ministry of Magic, at least one student every year thinks he can evade the rules of the Wizarding Examination Board. Slytherin has not appeared in the past. Live like this kind of person.”

When Professor Slughorn finished speaking, he had a cautious look on his face, asking them to take care of their feathers.

The fifth grade students looked at each other. They had been asked these questions dozens of times.

"When will we know our results?" Someone raised their hands and asked, obviously more concerned about the results.

"An owl will deliver it to you in July, so you don't have to worry about finding your home." Professor Slughorn said with a smile. He was also so worried when he was young.

"That's great," Avery whispered. "We don't have to worry about it before the holidays. At least we can have a half-decent holiday."

Severus felt ready, but couldn't help but light up the lamp to review.

Their first exam, Spell Theory, is scheduled for Monday morning.

Lupine promised Peter Pettigrew to help him review after lunch on Saturday, but he soon regretted it; Peter Pettigrew was very restless, and after answering several questions, he couldn't help but take the textbook from his hand and check it. Whether his answer was correct or not, in the end the sharp edge of "The Curse" hit Lupine's nose hard.

"Why don't you review by yourself? I still have to go on inspection to enforce the prefect's rights..." Lu Ping said firmly, handing the book back to him, with tears in his eyes.

At this time, Potter was reading two years of spell notes, waving his wand unconsciously and moving his lips silently; Sirius was lying on the floor reciting the definition of basic spells, and a little witch compared it with the "Standard Spells" , Level 4" to help him check; Lily and Jenny were practicing basic transformation spells to turn their teacups into flying sparrows.

The dinner that day was very quiet, only the sound of knives and forks clinking on the dinner plate could be heard.

Severus and Regulus didn't say much, he had been studying hard all day so he ate quickly.

While they were eating, a group of people came outside the castle.

They looked towards the door of the auditorium and saw Professor McGonagall standing with a small group of very old wizards with wrinkled skin.

The young wizards became even more nervous because they all knew that these old wizards were here to supervise the Owl exam.

It's been an unsettling night today.

Everyone wants to seize the last moment to review, but except for being dizzy, no one seems to be able to gain anything.

Severus went to bed early. He was very nervous before, but after seeing the invigilation team, he suddenly became less nervous and soon fell asleep.

After a dreamless night, Severus got up full of energy.

Regulus, on the other hand, was now black and blue. He was worried that someone would not be able to sleep, so he planned to talk for half the night, but in the end, he stayed up until dawn alone.

During breakfast, no one in the fifth grade said anything and seemed very quiet. Severus was practicing spells in a low voice, the salt shaker on the dining table twitching and spinning in front of him.

As soon as breakfast was over, students from other grades went to class according to the curriculum.

The seventh and fifth graders were left alone to mill around aimlessly in the foyer, waiting in confusion.

Then, at half past nine, they were called to the front class by class by the deans of each grade and returned to the auditorium.

The little wizards walked in an orderly manner and quickly reached the examination venue, which was the classroom where they had classes.

The four house tables had been moved and replaced with many small single tables, all facing the staff table at the end of the auditorium, where Professor McGonagall stood facing them.

From the faculty seats at the end of the auditorium, you can see the little wizards below at a glance, and you can clearly see their little moves.

Professor McGonagall asked them to sit in their respective seats in alphabetical order and not to look around or gossip.

When she saw them sitting down and completely quiet, she said: "You are ready, you can start."

Then she turned a huge hourglass upside down and placed it in a prominent position on the table next to it. There were also spare quills, ink bottles and rolls of parchment on the table.

Parchment is given to students for answer sheets, and spare quills and ink bottles are prepared for careless little wizards.
