Chapter 402: Exam Finished

The content of the Charms exam was to make a pear tap-dance across a desk. Professor Fuliwei would grade them based on the young wizards' performance.

Some young wizards could not use the spell skillfully, so the pear would start dancing jazz; some had poor control, and the pear would even turn into a frog.

In magic exams, there were always all sorts of mistakes; it was even possible for a young wizard to transfigure a companion into a badger.

Therefore, they entered the classroom one by one, and the professors checked their learning results one by one.

"Very excellent—"

Professor Fuliwei praised.

Inside the Charms classroom, Professor Fuliwei looked at Sean with satisfaction. His pear had already danced across, and he had even used a Silent Spell.

After leaving the Charms classroom, the following days were all such exams.

Sometimes it was theory: for example, the orbital trajectory of Jupiter's moons;

Sometimes it was practice: for example, Professor Marcus Maige watched them transfigure a mouse into a snuffbox—the more exquisite the box, the higher the score; if the mouse's whiskers were still left on the box, points would be deducted.

Except for Sean, Luo En and Xiang Hemin both performed well in this exam.

When they gathered in the corridor together, Luo En seemed to have just been encouraged by Professor Marcus Maige, his face turning bright red all of a sudden, looking just like a radish dried by the sun.

Today was the last day of exams.

At the long table, Nawei was muttering to his "Beginner's Guide to Potions"; beside him, Xiang Hemin had three open notebooks piled in front of her, and she was quickly correcting the parts that Harry had memorized wrong in History of Magic. Sometimes the young wizards of the Hope Cabin would quiz each other on the History of Magic timeline, but Sean thought the coverage of quizzing was too small and not very useful.

Regardless, they had survived the nerve-wracking Potions exam with Professor Sineipu standing behind them;

As long as they persisted for another hour and answered which eccentric old wizards invented the self-stirring cauldron, they would be free, and they could play easily for a whole week until the exam results were announced.

When the ghost of Professor Binsi told them to put down their quills and roll up their parchment, Sean heard the surrounding young wizards couldn't help but cheer.

Walking out of the exam hall, the sunlight was so bright it felt like honey was being sprinkled on Hogwarts Castle, and the young wizards felt as if they were about to melt.

At the castle entrance, the warm sun shone on the grass, and the doors and windows seemed lower. The grass was setting its seeds, the wind was shaking its leaves, and everyone watched the green fields and smelled a faint, wonderful scent.

"Easier than I thought,"

Xiang Hemin said when they followed the crowd out to the sunny grounds,

"I actually didn't need to memorize the '1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct' and the process of the Goblin Rebellion."

"Maybe, but the exam is over, can you please not help me reminisce."

Xiang Hemin always liked to review the exam content after it was over, and Luo En said it made him feel sick.

"You should summarize your learning for this year. If you don't know the problems, how can you improve?"

Xiang Hemin frowned and urged him to study.

"The weather is so nice... I saw a giant squid..."

Luo En tried to change the subject. He certainly knew Xiang Hemin was right, but knowing and doing were not the same thing.

"Xiang Hemin, we've been busy for so long, reviewing hard almost every day, shouldn't we rest for a while?"

Jia Siting joined the conversation and said gently.

"Yeah, yeah,"

Luo En looked as if he had seen a savior, then his eyes turned, and he looked at Sean, who hadn't brought a book out,

"Sean, what do you think?"

Sean looked at Luo En and Harry. They had changed a lot. With persistent effort, they could probably get a good grade in Potions now:

"Summarizing can be done anytime, shall we go see the giant squid?"

"Oh, of course, I said it should be like this."

Luo En looked very proud.

"Sean finished summarizing long ago."

Xiang Hemin blurted out this sentence.

Luo En looked at Sean, then at Xiang Hemin, and stopped talking for a moment.

So they strolled down the slope, came to the lakeside, and sat down under a tree with a plop. Over there, a giant squid was lying in the warm shallow water sunbathing, and the Wei Silai twins and Li Jie were gently poking its tentacles.

Without the pressure of exams, everyone chatted under the tree about the Forbidden Forest story from a while ago. Now they wished they could tell the whole world—

They had stopped Voldemort's conspiracy!

Sean watched them silently and took some alchemy materials out of his bag.

While everyone was having a rare moment of leisure, Sean once again created a new alchemical creation.

Leisurely time is always short, and before long, it was time for the results to be announced.

Everyone in Hope Cabin achieved good results: Sean was the undisputed first, and it was said that no professor could bear to deduct a single point from his score.

He speed-ran the exam with a perfect score.

Xiang Hemin was second. She was a bit unwilling about this result, but on the other hand, she was satisfied—she had firmly suppressed Jia Siting.

On the night the results were announced, Sean came to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The centaur teacher was always waiting here on time, not a minute fast, nor a second slow.

Sean's Divination magic already had five points of proficiency, but due to the extremely high uncertainty of Divination magic, Sean hadn't even summarized anything useful.

However, Professor Firenze was quite satisfied with his learning progress.

"Let's learn some types of herbs. Near summer, we will use sage and sweet-scented mallow..."

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and Sean, having anticipated it, took out his latest alchemical work—the Armillary Sphere.

It was a small ring-shaped object that quickly grew larger on the ground, then emitted flames and blocked the strong wind.

"This is?"

The centaur teacher seemed to be seeing such a thing for the first time.

"Some simple instruments, the functions are roughly to make fire, block wind, and observe the moon."

Sean explained. He waved his hand, and the Armillary Sphere jumped into his hand. Soon, a telescope-style object extended from inside the ring.

The centaur teacher's calm eyes had some ripples.

For a long time, the centaur tribe had followed the laws of nature. When the starlight was dim or a strong wind blew, they would wait for nature to give them the opportunity to observe again.

This was tradition, and also because they had no other way.

The Armillary Sphere was more useful than imagined. In the following days, Sean was not troubled by strong winds or dark clouds.

The holiday time was also gradually approaching, and the last Quidditch match was just around the corner.

Although Sean didn't pay much attention to this, the things he had to be busy with were gradually increasing. ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
