The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Gidro, we must check carefully, we must not make any omissions!" Professor Flitwick urged. Every year during the O.W..L and N.E.W.T. exams, there are always a few little wizards trying to fish in troubled waters, trying to cheat by various special means.

The reason for the repeated bans on cheating in exams in the magic world is that the punishment for cheaters is not enough. The little wizard who was caught cheating only abolished his grades in the subject, and he could continue to take the exam. If Muggles are caught cheating in the college entrance examination, the results of each stage and each subject he signed up for will be invalid, and they will be suspended from taking the test for 1 to 3 years. If it is illegal to use special equipment for wiretapping and photo theft, it may also be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or control.

The penalties for the two are very different.

What's even better is that the results of each subject in the wizarding world are calculated independently. If Muggles have their grades revoked in a class, then the exam will be scrapped - others get 750 out of 750, you get 600 out of 600, take the exam with a hammer. The magic world is different. If your history of magic has been canceled, then cancel it. You can find a job that does not require a history of magic certificate in the future.

However, so far, no young wizards at Hogwarts have been caught cheating in the exam room, because the Hogwarts professors have excellent anti-cheating methods, and the little wizards have been caught before they even started cheating. No fish slipping through the net, this can only be called attempted cheating, and will only be confiscated by the dean after a stern look.

The anti-cheating method is also very simple: it is forbidden for the little wizards to use their own quills and inks in exams.

It's that simple and rude! But it works great.

In the absence of electronic equipment, if you want to cheat, you can only work on ink and quills. As for the remaining options, potions, entrainments, and amulets, the professors have never paid attention to them.

Potions? The high probability will only bring psychological suggestion and food poisoning. Entrainment cheat sheet? A "flying" before entering the field can solve it. As for amulets, is there really anything that can bless wizards? To promote metaphysics in the wizarding world, there is always a sense of sight that coal is transported from Inner Mongolia and sold to Shanxi.

Flitwick stood in front of the students and drew out his wand: "Children, take out your quills and ink, memory **** are not allowed to be brought into the exam room, and I would like to remind you that every The O.W.L.s. papers have a particularly severe anti-cheating spell that even I can't crack."

The last sentence is a lie. Of course, Professor Flitwick can decipher it, but he just needs to make some moves.

Some of the little wizards moved, and gave Professor Flitwick the quills and ink bottles on their bodies. Professor Flitwick didn't even bother to look at it, he could guess with his fingernails that these were mature stationery with quills and ink, and he could answer the questions by himself.

How fragile is trust between people?

[Have you seen the TV remote control? 】

【No】

[Move your butt! 】

How fragile is the trust between wizards and wizards?

"Have you handed it all in?"

"It's handed in."

"Flying around!" Professor Flitwick broke the trust between wizards and wizards, and used the Flying Spell to find several novel exam cheating props: an improved version of the cheat sheet loose-leaf sleeves - you can do keyword queries; Action copy bracelet - can copy a classmate's hand movements; telephoto glasses - can see further...

Professor Flitwick put away these items one by one with a blank expression, and then deducted points from the corresponding colleges according to their master's student status, and by the way, wholesale confinement. After all this is done, it's time for the exam.

By this time, the auditorium had been rearranged, and the long tables of the four colleges had been replaced with small single tables with quills, inkwells, and rolls of parchment on them. Professor McGonagall stood on the staff bench with a huge hourglass by his hand. The little wizards obediently walked into the auditorium, found their seats and sat down. When the last little wizard was also seated, Professor McGonagall turned the hourglass over.

"You can start answering questions."

Outside the auditorium, Professor Flitwick fiddled with the confiscated items and sighed: "These cheating toys are really getting more and more creative! Especially the inventor of the action replica bracelet is a genius! How could he come up with this Seed."

The O.W.Ls. and N.E.W.T. exams are held at the same time and share the same exam venue. The two exams last for a total of two weeks.

The first week is: Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Ancient Runes. Most of these subjects are written tests in the morning and practical tests in the afternoon.

The second week is Potions, Protection of Fantastic Beasts, Astronomy, Divination or Arithmetic Divination and History of Magic. The practical exam time for astronomy is in the evening.

Those fifth and seventh graders that Tom taught performed well and achieved grades proportional to their efforts.

Everything is fine!

On the afternoon of the end of the history of magic exam, Hogwarts was boiling, and the fifth and seventh graders who had unloaded their burdens began to celebrate wildly, completely ignoring that the little wizards of other grades were still struggling to review.

They just want to vent their stress!

On this crazy night, Professor Lockhart, who teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts, knocked on the door of Dumbledore's office...

The next day is Saturday. At breakfast time, Professor Lockhart's seat on the staff chair was empty again, but the little wizards had long been accustomed to it: Professor Lockhart missed breakfast many times this school year, which is very normal.

The abnormal thing is that ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Professor Dumbledore stood up after the seats in the auditorium were almost occupied, and Professor McGonagall next to him tapped the goblet with a silver spoon, letting everyone calm down.

"All students and staff at Hogwarts, I'm sorry to disturb you while you're eating, but I need to announce this sad news to you before you go back to sleep."

The little wizards stopped swallowing and looked at Professor Dumbledore quietly, waiting for his next words.

"Our dear Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, left us last night—"

The little wizards were stunned all of a sudden, and many people didn't react: What's going on? How come Professor Lockhart was still alive and kicking yesterday morning and went to see Merlin this morning?

Not only the students, but also all the professors on the faculty chair were stunned: It hasn't been a full year yet! Can the curse strike earlier?

Even some little witches were about to cry, but fortunately Dumbledore didn't stop for a long time:

"—he submitted his resignation letter to me last night and has now left Hogwarts."

Although this sentence is not as scary as the previous half, it is still powerful enough that the little wizards almost jumped out of bed when they heard the news.
