Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 735 Focusing

  As if to celebrate the coming Christmas, the weather around Hogwarts suddenly cleared up, and the sky even showed a dazzling opal color.

When I woke up in the morning, the trees and flower beds in the yard were covered with a layer of shining hoarfrost. The professors began to decorate their classrooms with their own magic. The illusion of being strayed into the world of fairy tales.

   Once upon a time, the shadow that Sirius Black and the Dementors cast on Hogwarts school is a thing of the past.

  The students were happily discussing their holiday plans for the Christmas holiday, and the announcement of going to Hogsmeade village also quietly appeared on the bulletin board in the common room.

   However, not everything is going our way.

  At the party of the Transfiguration Club, I learned from the chat with Cedric that due to some reasons, he failed to make an appointment with Qiu Zhang, and I was depressed for a long time.

   "Since she's not free this time, next time, or next time, or..." In Albert's view, since Qiu Zhang made an appointment to go to Hogsmeade with his friends, he should make an appointment at another time.

  However, seeing the shocked look on Cedric's face, he was probably declined.

"This kind of thing really shouldn't be rushed." Cedric muttered, then changed the subject, and invited Albert to go to the library to study the last exam papers that he borrowed, as if he planned to devote all his thoughts to the upcoming o.w.Ls exam .

   "Another day, I've been busy recently." Albert politely declined.

   For the o.w.Ls exam, Albert had already figured it out. By comparing the key points he got from Isobel with the key points recorded in class, he probably had a clear estimate of the scope of the o.w.Ls exam.

  Most of the key points of the exam will not change, at most they will be changed.

  As long as you can pass the practical exam, it is not difficult to get excellent grades.

  If someone knew what Albert was thinking, even if he knew he couldn't beat him, he probably wanted to punch him a few times.

   When returning to the Gryffindor common room, Albert found that Fred and George were rarely lazy, and they actually followed the others to do their homework seriously.

   "We plan to go home for the Christmas holiday this year." George noticed the surprised gaze from Albert next to him and explained.

  Actually, the Weasley twins are also very helpless. The pressure of the fifth grade is too great. If the two of them don't work hard to do their homework, they are very likely to face the risk of confinement.

   "Have you heard? Stimson asked Kenneth to buy a large bottle of tranquilizers. That guy seems to be suffering from exam phobia."

  Lee Jordan put two cups of milk tea with a lot of sugar cubes in front of the twins. Taking a lot of sugar is good for stabilizing emotions and maintaining a good mood. This is learned from Albert.

   "I thought you were under no pressure."

  Albert knew that Fred and George didn't take the ow.Ls exam seriously at all, and they almost put most of their energy into the development of joke props.

"We really don't have any pressure, but like you said, we can't give up all the subjects, otherwise I doubt whether the school will ask us to repeat the exam, at least if we pass the exam successfully." Fred drank Taking a sip of milk tea, he complained, "How much sugar did you put in it?"

   "Don't you want to add more?" Lee Jordan said innocently.

   "I have the key points of the exam here. As long as you master all the key points, it shouldn't be difficult to get a good grade." Albert always generously shared the so-called key points of the exam with everyone in order to help them easily overcome the current difficulties.

"marvelous."

  Li Jordan was the most excited one. After Albert returned to the dormitory to take the notes, he started to take notes frantically, preparing to find opportunities to memorize the key points by heart. This was easier and more efficient than blindly reviewing by himself.

   "Our requirements are not high, as long as you can pass most of the courses." Fred put down the quill in his hand, picked up a spell notebook and began to read.

   "You really have nothing to pursue." Angelina was very interested in what Albert was reviewing, and the ow.Ls exam was really important to everyone.

"Forget it, I think we should strengthen our strengths and try our best to get high marks in what we are good at." Fred and George lacked interest in the notes of other courses. If they follow the key points marked by Albert, Their spare time is simply not enough.

  Strengthen the areas you are good at, and you will undoubtedly be able to achieve better results in certain subjects. Even if you don't get excellent, you need to get good.

  In fact, Fred and George subconsciously gave up some of their courses, such as History of Magic, Astronomy, Divination, and Protection of Magical Creatures, after entering school in September.

The two of them got good grades in the Protection of Magical Creatures class, but Hagrid's performance this semester was so bad that they couldn't see the future of this class, and Albert had already said that he didn't plan to take protection next semester. The improvement class of the magical creature class was over, so the Weasley twins gave up the protection of magical creatures decisively.

   "You guys gave up completely enough." Albert was not too surprised. If it were him, he might have done the same.

   After all, they are already planning to give up directly, and it doesn't matter how well they do in the exam.

   "You guys are so smart."

Lee Jordan's tone was a bit sour, he had the hardest life in the dormitory, and he really wanted to give up those four courses, but he didn't dare to be as blatant as Fred and George, otherwise if the ow. It's too bad, and the days to come will be very difficult.

   "If you give up all the other courses, how many O.w.Ls do you plan to pass?" Shanna, who was comparing the key points of the notes, raised her head and asked.

   "Transfiguration, Charms, Herbs, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

   "It's not bad to pass three gates."

   Well, there is actually no difference between passing and failing, at least you need to be good before you are allowed to go to the improvement class.

   “I think our future lies outside academic achievement.”

   "What do you mean?" Angelina asked.

   "Like Wood, who prepares to join the Quidditch team for trial training after graduation, and devotes almost all his thoughts to Quidditch training, and doesn't care about grades at all." Fred shrugged, "We also have our own goals."

   "Since we have already..." George noticed Albert's warning gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "I mean, I doubt that it is really necessary to finish seven years?"

   "So, you're not going to come back for sixth grade?" Arya thought it was ridiculous.

   "We did think about it." George said honestly.

   "Will your family allow you to suspend school early?" Shanna thought it was unlikely, as it would be very difficult to pass at home.

   "I don't know, we haven't discussed it with them yet."

  Shanna's words obviously hit the twins' pain points, and it was obviously impossible for the Weasleys to allow them to suspend school.

   "Some interesting things will happen at Hogwarts next year. If you miss it, you will definitely regret it." Albert said suddenly.

   "What's interesting?" Everyone looked up, obviously interested.

   "A feast." Albert said mysteriously, "However, I think it's best to keep it secret for the time being, and you will have a sense of surprise when you know it, just like the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts."

   "I think it's embarrassing for you to say something like this halfway."

  Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all rushed towards Albert, trying to use itches to make Albert explain things clearly, but the latter stood up and avoided as if he had expected it.

  At ten o'clock in the evening, the four of them packed up their homework and returned to the dormitory.

   "We have something to discuss with you." Fred said suddenly.

"What's up?"

  Albert put down the cup of hot milk he had just finished drinking, and looked at the serious Fred suspiciously.

   "Do you still need the Marauder's Map?"

   "You want to give Harry the Marauder's Map?" Albert expressed their thoughts blankly.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." George nodded and said, "We do plan to give Harry the Marauder's Map as a Christmas present, so that he can use the Marauder's Map and the invisibility cloak to sneak to Hogsmeade Village and be locked up alone. It's so pathetic at school."

   "You are actually willing to give such a good thing to others." Lee Jordan was a little surprised.

   "We have memorized the exact location of all the secret passages in the school." Fred said, "We don't need it anymore."

   “We felt it should be left to others,” George added, “like the original Marauder Map maker left the map to the juniors who like to break the school rules.”

   "You don't think you plan to suspend school after you get the ow.Ls certificate!" Lee Jordan also thinks it is irrational to suspend school now.

   "If possible." Fred and George looked at each other, "Staying in school is a waste of time."

The two wanted to give Harry the Marauder's Map, but in fact they didn't use the map very much anymore, and they both could see that Albert also no longer needed the Marauder's Map, he had already touched it. Understand the principle of the Marauder's Map, and be able to create something similar to the Marauder's Map.

  Only Filch knows the location of the castle secret passage, which is not a good thing for the students.

   Other students should be allowed to use the Marauder's Map to give Fei...bring more joy to the school. Those hidden secret passages should not just be forgotten by people.

   "Potter really needs this map." Albert didn't expect Fred and George to ask for his own opinion first, and asked with a smile: "However, aren't you worried that he will be in danger when he leaves school?"

   "Instead of worrying that Harry might be in danger, we care more about what you just mentioned." Fred and George said in unison.

   "I'm also very curious about what interesting things will happen at Hogwarts next year?" Lee Jordan said with a straight face on purpose, "Are you going to tell the truth yourself, or should we ask you to explain it?"

  Late at night, the sound of laughter and fights came from the lighted windows.
