The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

"[Retreat the enemy three feet]"

Loren waved his wand, and a white magic light shot out from the apple wood wand, hitting Grindylow head-on. The powerful impact made the little monster Grindylow faint, and he was immersed in the deep pond. I couldn't get up for a long time.

After wading through the deep pond, Loren, who was covered in transparent water bubbles, gently tapped——

Bo!

The bubbles burst.

Looking at the jagged rocks in front of him, Loren shook his wand and looked thoughtful. He wondered what dark magical creatures Professor Lupine had hidden in the rocks...

No matter what was hidden inside, Loren was not going to take any chances. He waved his wand and used the transfiguration technique to seal the hole in the reef.

Suddenly there was a banging sound inside the reef. Loren walked through the rocks and the wet swamp without changing his expression, and came to an old box.

Just as he was preparing a piercing spell to blow up the box, Professor Lupine with a complicated expression came out from the side and said reluctantly: "That's it, Loren, congratulations on passing the Defense Against the Dark Arts course with full marks. take an exam."

Loren smacked his lips and said, "Are there only three levels? I thought there were at least five..."

Professor Lupine's face turned a little dark, and he couldn't help but raise his voice slightly: "It's four! If you didn't seal the reef hole where the red hat was hidden, and noticed the light emitted by the swamp when you passed by the swamp, or Open the box with the Boggarts! You'll find them!"

"Professor, I think my handling method is very safe. If..."

Before Loren could finish speaking, Lupine pushed him directly out of the fence and shouted to the little wizard waiting outside: "Next, Harry Potter!"

It's Thursday morning during exam week, and it's also the penultimate exam for third-year wizards - Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Professor Lupine gave the most unusual test questions that the little wizards had taken in the past three years. It was an outdoor test similar to an obstacle course. The little wizards had to wade through a deep pond with Grindylow and pass through a series of trees. Red Hat potholes, chugs through the swamp, unable to pay attention to any of the hinkpunk's misdirections, and climbs into an old crate to defeat the boggart.

Unfortunately, these levels were thwarted as soon as they opened, and the first student it encountered was Loren Morgan.

Harry asked as he passed what was noteworthy.

"Be careful of traps and just keep going forward." Loren said.

…

Using a disarming spell, he knocked away Grindylow and a group of red hats wielding sticks to sneak attack. Harry walked straight through the swamp.

"trap?"

Looking at the old box in front of him, Harry didn't think much, raised his hand and cast a powerful disarming spell at it.

Professor Lupine blocked the disarming spell, his face looked darker, and he couldn't help asking: "Why don't you open the box and take a look, Harry?"

"Loren asked me to be careful of traps..." Harry scratched his head, "I think it's better to test it with a magic spell first."

"Then why did you only use the disarming spell the whole time?"

"I'm best at this." Harry glanced at the old box quietly, "No, isn't it suitable?"

Lupine took a few deep breaths. He couldn't say that Harry was doing something wrong. There was no standard answer to Defense Against the Dark Arts, as long as he could resist these little monsters, it was fine, but he felt uncomfortable holding it back.

"Congratulations on passing the exam with full marks, Harry." Lupine pushed Harry out and shouted in a muffled voice, "Next, Neville Longbottom!"

Ten minutes later, Grindylow was floating on the deep pool with his belly on his back. Red hats were lying neatly on the rocks, and there were several Xinkpunks lying in the swamp.

Lupine stopped Neville, who wanted to cast a stun spell on the old box, and was very puzzled: "Neville, why did you only use the stun spell the whole time?"

"I, my parents taught me..." Neville replied weakly: "To ensure that one blow will make the enemy incapable of fighting, the stun spell is the best. It can achieve the goal without causing serious harm."

The corners of Lupine's eyes twitched a few times. As expected of an Auror family, his teachings were very reasonable.

"Then why did you use the stun spell on the old box?"

"My dad said that it's best to avoid a head-on confrontation if you confirm the enemy's location, so..."

"Full marks, next one!"

Fortunately, most of the remaining little wizards are normal. They will open the boxes and use funny spells to deal with boggarts, especially Miss Granger, who is the first in grade. All her coping methods are according to the textbook. Come on, Lu Ping gave him full marks for the first time with satisfaction.

Ron started off smoothly. He was taken a little way when he encountered Hinkpunk, but luckily he woke up before falling into the mud.

The last exam for Harry and his friends was Divination, while Hermione went to study runes. She and Loren also had Arithmancy in the evening.

In the North Tower, many students were sitting on the spiral staircase leading to Professor Trelawny's classroom, waiting, and some hoped to catch the last breath.

"She meets us one by one, and it is said that she will use this to determine whether we have the third eye."

Neville spread out his book "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future" on his lap and opened the chapter on the crystal ball. He asked distressedly: "Have you really seen anything in the crystal ball?"

"of course not!"

Ron happily put his hand on his shoulder: "Just like our divination homework, you just need to say that you saw bad signs. By the way, how is your grandma recently?"

"It's okay." Neville nodded blankly, "Why do you ask?"

Loren explained: "Because at the beginning of this school year, Professor Trelawney once predicted that your grandma was not doing well. Do you remember?"

Neville recalled for a while, and his eyes became more blank: "But during the Christmas vacation, my grandma did have a cold for a while, and she was not in good health."

Harry thought of the signs of death that Trelawny had predicted for him, and he had indeed been in danger of almost dying several times.

"It's all just to deceive you. It's just good luck. I can now predict that your grandma will catch a cold next year..." Ron said contemptuously, "She is an old liar."

Amidst the discussion of the little wizards, the queue outside the classroom shortened slower and slower. When everyone came down the stairs, other students asked quietly: "What did she ask? Are you okay?"

But no one was willing to say it. In the end, it was Neville who answered their doubts: "She said the crystal ball told her that if I told her, there would be a catastrophe!"

Loren, Harry and Ron were the last three in line. Ron's name was called first. He went up and made nonsense for a few minutes before being kicked off.

After agreeing to meet in the common room after the exam, Ron left.

Harry was next, and finally Loren was left alone under the stairs waiting for the exam. He leaned in front of the bay window and looked out at the sunny field, thinking about things related to Trelawney.

Divination is obviously a talent-requiring magic, but he still hasn't shown the relevant talent yet, probably because he doesn't have the third eye mentioned by Professor Trelawney.

He also thought about quitting the Divination class when Hermione dropped it, but thinking about the prophecy triggered by Trelawney, Loren stayed again.

Suddenly, Loren raised his head and saw Harry sliding down the stairs in a panic.

"Trelawney made a very strange prophecy..." Harry looked surprised and whispered, "She said that the Dark Lord would come back with the help of his servants, more powerful and terrifying than before... and she also talked about the brilliance of the sun. When we are far away, black magic will unleash darkness!”

Loren's heart moved. Seeing Harry's panic, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "See you in the common room."

Upstairs, Professor Trelawney's voice was already calling: "Loren Morgan!"
