Chapter 115 Why Didn't Harry Potter Become an Obscurial?
Chapter 115 Why didn’t Harry Potter become the Obscurus?
In the next week, Andy calmed down and carefully reviewed the first-grade knowledge.
The Hogwarts exam is divided into two parts, a written exam and a practical exam.
Andy doesn't need to worry about practical operations, and the theoretical knowledge is rich enough. The only thing Andy is currently lacking is those knowledge points that are not very important but require rote memorization.
Facts have proved that hard work is still useful.
The exams for the Charms and Transfiguration classes went very smoothly. The written test papers were quite simple, and the actual operations were even more difficult for Andy.
The practical part of the Charms exam involves making a pineapple tap dance across a table, and the practical part of the Transfiguration exam involves turning a small log into a button.
This is all child's play for Andy.
During the subsequent Potions exam, Snape persisted in walking around behind Andy, trying to influence Andy's mentality. However, Andy was not affected at all and completed the potion production very well, much to Snape's disappointment.
There is only a written test for the History of Magic exam, and you can pass it by memorizing it by rote. The flying class and astronomy class exams are basically just a formality. As long as they are not too outrageous, everyone can get an O grade.
The only thing that made Andy feel a little bald was the exam in the herbal medicine class.
The herbal medicine class and the potion class can be regarded as two complementary courses, but Andy has always pursued power and has never thought about growing herbal medicine in the future, so he naturally looks down upon this course.
If Andy is more hands-on than theoretical knowledge in other courses, then in the herbal medicine class, theoretical knowledge is more important than practical operation.
Unfortunately, the practical operations of this course were only available in class, and even if Andy wanted to review, he would not have the chance.
Seeing Professor Sprout's dissatisfied look, Andy could only look away and try to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Fortunately, overall, Andy feels that his test scores this time are quite good. Except for Hermione, there should be no one in the first grade who can score better than him.
…
There is no holiday immediately after the exam. The little wizards will continue to stay at Hogwarts until the school announces the exam results.
So in the next few days, the entire Hogwarts seemed to be in panic.
The test report cards have to be taken home to show to their parents. Even the most naughty students can only pray to Merlin to bless the professor's blindness at this time and let them see their wrong answers as correct answers.
The Weasley twins also took the opportunity to come up with an amulet that was said to be able to improve test scores. The purchase was extremely popular and they made a lot of money.
I have to say, these two are really talented people.
George and Fred's academic performance can only be considered above average, but they are very talented in making magic items.
It's a pity that their mother, Molly Weasley, always believed that this kind of thing was unprofessional, and often punished the two of them for it.
Andy felt sad just thinking about it.
Molly Weasley is also a child of a pure-blood family, but in her opinion, working in the Ministry of Magic after graduation is the right path, and studying the production of magic items has become an unprofessional job.
This is just like the feudal society in ancient China. Only the imperial examination was the right way, and the development of science and technology has become a strange skill. Not only is it not taken seriously, but it is still in the middle and lower levels of the social contempt chain.
It's no wonder that most young wizards don't learn magic much. After all, except for Aurors, many jobs in the Ministry of Magic have nothing to do with 'magic'.
They only need to master the common magic in life, which is enough to cope with future life.
In the magical world of peaceful times, gold galleons are more effective than magic.
Therefore, Andy has always believed that although the establishment of the Ministry of Magic established order in the magical world, it hindered the development of magic.
Which one is better or worse is just a matter of opinion.
Fortunately, Andy has no idea of reforming the magic world. Being the Dark Lord is not that easy. Not to mention the thankless task, it does not do him any good.
…
"If nothing else happens, this semester's Academy Cup should belong to us Ravenclaw!"
On the way to the library, Hermione kept mumbling, "Although we lost in the Quidditch match, our house score is the highest, and our test scores should be better than the other three houses."
"Fortunately, Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup this year. Their house points are already low. Even with the Quidditch points added, they are still at the bottom among the four major houses."
The little witch has a strong sense of collective honor. Apart from her own test scores, the only thing she cares about now is the Academy Cup.
"No wonder Professor Snape doesn't like me lately."
Andy suddenly realized, "If Slytherin wins the House Cup this semester, they will win the seventh consecutive championship. In the wizarding world, seven is a magic number."
Hermione glanced at Andy. She had recently noticed that there was something wrong with the way Snape looked at Andy.
"Why is he targeting you?"
The little witch said curiously: "I mean, winning the Academy Cup is a victory for our entire Ravenclaw."
"Maybe I have offended him before! Or maybe I am the most representative?" Andy scratched his head.
Hermione glanced at Andy again, "I'm not surprised at all."
Andy: "..."
Soon, the library arrived.
A few days before the exam, there was no one absent from the library.
After the exam, only Andy and Hermione still insisted on coming to the library to read.
Madam Pince noticed Andy and Hermione at a glance.
Andy sighed, and now they couldn't chat.
The little witch was also very well-behaved. She picked books without saying a word, found a seat without saying a word, and read books without saying a word.
Even the footsteps were kept to a minimum.
If there was anyone in Hogwarts who dared not buy Dumbledore's face, then apart from Madam Pomfrey in the school infirmary, there was only the library administrator, Madam Pince.
A person who looked like a sweeping monk.
Even Andy didn't dare to provoke them.
Andy was still reading books about the Patronus Charm. Even though Andy still had no idea about upgrading magic, Andy always insisted on his initial judgment.
The potential of this magic is definitely not limited to this.
It's just that the contents of these books are similar, which is basically of no help to Andy.
Andy quickly browsed through them and then closed the book in disappointment.
It was all in vain!
He found another book about Obscurus and read it carefully.
The record about Obscurus in the book was not much different from the books he had read before. It was nothing more than that the abused little wizard had negative emotions and some unknown changes had occurred with his magic.
Andy scratched his head in distress...
Speaking of abuse... Wasn't the abuse Harry suffered at his uncle's house enough?
Harry might not hate his uncle and aunt, but he was not without other negative emotions.
