Chapter 241 OWLS

Negotiating the Slughorn matter with Lu Yunkai seemed to be just one of the many things Dumbledore had to do when he returned to Hogwarts.

In the short month or two after leaving Hogwarts, Dumbledore did a lot of things, and there were also many things that needed to be arranged in the school for follow-up.

So after getting Lu Yunkai's promise, Dumbledore seemed to have forgotten about it and never talked to him again.

For Lu Yunkai, this doesn't matter. He has a lot to do anyway: OWLS has a total of twelve courses. Except for arithmetic divination, which he gave up automatically because he took divination as an elective, Lu Yunkai planned to work hard on the other eleven courses and get an O (excellent).

What does that old saying say? Ask for it and get it!

In addition, after "long experience" in Hogsmeade, Lu Yunkai gained a new understanding of Voldemort, whom he had always thought would be "killed with money", and understood that some people might not be killed with money. You still have to rely on your fists...

Work hard! !

Naturally, Lu Yunkai's life suddenly entered a kind of orderly and busy life.

There are still three points and one line between classes, meals, lounges and dormitories. Lu Yunkai basically spends his time walking at a trot every day.

He spent most of his time in front of his exclusive seat in the lounge. Parchment, teaching materials, reference materials and communication mirrors constitute the core components of Lu Yunkai's OWLS examination. In order to improve his test scores, Lu Yunkai also invited an additional "extracurricular tutor" through Communication Mirror.

Erin.

After being "grounded" by Lu Yunkai, Irene was still a little bit complaining, but when she saw the messy photos on the Daily Prophet that Voldemort left behind after a battle between Hogsmeade and Dumbledore, although she didn't say clearly, She was a little scared after all.

She stayed in Lu Yunkai's mansion and had basically nothing to do except go to the ground to sort out the herbs every day, so she naturally became Lu Yunkai's "tutor". It just so happened that what she was good at was what Lu Yun did poorly in starting school, such as protecting magical animals and herbal medicines...

Therefore, after three months of "surprise", when the time came to the end of April and the OWLS exam officially began, with the exception of divination, Lu Yunkai felt that he could at least get an E (beyond E) in the other ten subjects. expected) results.

As for how many O's there are...it depends on the situation.

…

"Meow, you really don't need my help?"

"...No need!"

Lu Yunkai glared at Chris without stopping the quill in his hand.

Tomorrow is the time for the first course exam of this year’s OWLS, and Lu Yunkai is preparing for the final sprint.

Although it’s a bit redundant: because the first class tomorrow is about potions…

Well, it is still necessary to prepare. Just like what Snape said when he reminded Lu Yunkai after class last week, this is just an exam, not a paper for him to write. Therefore, the book says how to prepare the potion. He just prepared it according to how he prepared it. He was not allowed to change a single word of the formula in the book. Don't think about adding a little bit of this or a little bit of that to increase the efficacy of the medicine...

To put it simply, it is dimensionality reduction.

It's not difficult, it just requires concentration.

So Lu Yunkai is now working hard to compress his potion knowledge into the fifth grade...

"Meow, I told you I'm very sure! I know the person who sent the test questions to the school. He was famous for his drinking when we were at the Leaky Cauldron in the early years. I just need to find a way to get him drunk, don't tell me If you steal a test paper, even if you change the entire set of test papers, he may not know..."

"That's enough for you!!" Lu Yunkai interrupted Chris.

"It's boring." Chris stuck out her tongue at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai smiled silently and returned his attention to the review materials in front of him.

Chris could only continue to sit on Lu Yun's legs and sleep out of boredom.

In the past three months, Lu Yunkai's life has become more fulfilling and compact, but this cat's life has become more and more empty and boring.

There was no way. After the Hogsmeade attack, the Ministry of Magic changed its leadership. After a month of hard work, the new minister took office. If he wanted to maintain the image of a strong Ministry of Magic, the first thing he did was to strictly control Hogwarts.

It is impossible to re-arrange professors to enter the school. After all, Umbridge's previous actions have completely blocked the road to the Ministry of Magic (it was only then that Lu Yunkai really believed that Umbridge really didn't want to come) Hogwarts, I just want to sit in an office in the Ministry of Magic building in peace and contentment, scheming for promotion and salary increase, so I not only returned myself, but even completely cut off the path to the Ministry of Magic), so Just like Sirius had done when he escaped from prison the year before, the new minister had arranged for a lot of people to be protected, but in reality he was monitoring Hogwarts.

Thanks to the new Minister of Magic, the area around Hogwarts has been extremely orderly recently, and even the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest have disappeared.

But this is a pain for Chris's fun-loving temperament.

Harry has nothing to spy on, and other people don't interest him in gossiping. The Forbidden Forest isn't fun, and even Aragog is hiding...

There is nothing to do every day except eating and sleeping.

"I told you, if you are really bored, go find Nagini. She will definitely have fun there."

"Meow, what's so fun? Didn't she tell you through the communication mirror? Recently, Voldemort has been eating, sleeping and daydreaming quietly every day. What else can she do?" Chris shook her head, "It's better to be in school and watch you kids talking and flirting every day!"

"...You went to peek at Ron and Lavender again last night?" Lu Yunkai understood instantly when he heard this.

"Meow, how can cats be called peeking? I just accidentally passed by and stopped in order not to disturb them."

"...So what did you see?"

"Meow! Shameless!! You are actually curious about what the two of them did..."

"..."

Lu Yunkai pulled Chris off his legs.

No, I'm going to be disturbed by this broken cat while reviewing.

Chris didn't mind. After jumping to the ground, she licked her fur first, and then left the lounge with proud little steps.

Obviously, this broken cat ran out and passed by another couple...

Well, it was probably Ron. Even Lu Yunkai has seen him and Lavender hugging and chewing each other in various places recently...

Daphne was jealous because of this!

"How did Chris provoke you again?"

Just when Lu Yunkai was thinking of Daphne, his girlfriend came to Lu Yunkai with a roll of parchment and sat down naturally.

"Nothing... How are you preparing?"

"Oh! What's there to prepare! Just answer as much as you know! I don't expect to get an O, I will accept an A completely." Daphne smiled, "Okay, don't look at it, I have something for you."

As she spoke, she handed the parchment in her arms to Lu Yunkai.

"...What?" Lu Yunkai muttered while opening the roll of paper.

On it was a painting made up of only some lines.

Or to put it more accurately, a magic circle.

"My dad found something in an ancient ruin in South America. He doesn't know much about magic circles, so he asked me to copy one and ask you." Daphne smiled, "Can you help me take a look?"

"..."

"Oh! I'm warning you one last time! If I find out that you secretly summoned that demon behind my back... I won't forgive you!" Daphne looked at Lu Yunkai's weird expression and instantly frowned.

"It's obviously faster that way..." Lu Yunkai felt a little wronged.

In the month from the Christmas holiday to the attack on Hogsmeade, Lu Yunkai tried to summon the demon four times, but every time before he could officially start, Daphne would appear and force Lu Yunkai to give up in various ways...

Well, there's no need to ask how Daphne could appear at the scene every time. It's the fault of the broken cat who just ran to peek again.

"Meow! She threatened that if you succeeded in summoning the demon, she would not let me live a good life!!"

Chris cried righteously, leaving Lu Yunkai helpless.

Later, the Ministry of Magic strengthened its supervision of Hogwarts, and the Forbidden Forest, the only place where Lu Yunkai could set up the summoning magic circle, was not very safe, so he could only put it aside temporarily.

"It's not a matter of speed! I don't want you to get hurt because of me." Daphne snorted, "Don't think about those messy things, help me see what this magic circle is for."

"Let me see..." Lu Yunkai took out the notebook and ballpoint pen commonly used by Muggles from the space bag and started drawing.

Split it for a while.

"This is a sacrificial magic circle." Lu Yunkai tore the paper he had been drawing for a long time from the notebook, rolled it into a ball, took out his wand and pointed it, the paper ball turned into ashes, and then a cleansing spell, everything disappeared.

"Sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice of living people, there is no clear target in the magic circle. It is probably some kind of evil god on the ground." Lu Yunkai nodded, "It doesn't make any sense."

"Okay, then I'll tell my dad." Daphne nodded.

"Tell your dad not to hang around outside all the time. You have a solution to your problems... Isn't it good for him to stay at home and accompany you and your mother?" Lu Yunkai tried to persuade him.

Then, Daphne glared at him fiercely.

Lu Yunkai stopped talking.

Forget it, let's continue reviewing!

God knows how difficult the test questions will be tomorrow!

But.

...

Later in the afternoon of the next day.

"How is it?"

Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne, who had a strange expression after coming out of the examination room.

"... Is it okay?"

"Just okay? I helped you with the content of the test today..."

"Yunkai, aren't we reviewing too much?" Daphne suppressed her strange expression and interrupted Lu Yunkai's disgusting behavior of checking the answers after the test.

"... Actually, I feel the same way." Lu Yunkai sighed softly, "I really didn't expect..."

At this point, Lu Yunkai glanced at the group of classmates who walked out of the examination room behind him.

"... OWLS turned out to be so simple!"

...
