Just like how Sirius described the war between the United Kingdom and the United States, the intensity of the exam had shocked some of the students from Boothbarton and Elfamoni Academies, as well as their parents, especially the German Shepherd Academy. Because the Hogwarts had originally imitated their dueling courses, many of them had signed up for the exam in an attempt to get a certificate.
In fact, the original twelve subjects and the new ancient magic course were supposed to be tested in the Floating City of Hogwarts, but now, with the addition of Boothbarton and German Shepherd Academy, as well as Elfamoni Academy, which was still in the process of merging into the Floating City, also needed the United Kingdom to host the exam.
So, subjects such as Boothbarton's alchemy and Demstrand's black magic were also included in the scope of this year's exam. Of course, there were not many young wizards who came to take the exam in schools without these courses. After all, such students could only use their spare time to study by themselves, and it was not easy to get the certificate of the Ultimate Wizard Examination.
Allen Harris had taken a lot of the exams for the non- Hogwarts courses, but that did not surprise the non- Hogwarts students and their parents. But these days, they were shocked by the ordinary students of the Hogwarts. Many of them had signed up for one or two more courses that were not originally offered in the Hogwarts. Although their written test results were not known, it was obvious that their performance in the practical test was very good, which showed that they were not here to play.
The combat exam continued with the number theory exam, in which Hermione Granger and students like Draco who had been in the training class for a long time performed well, which surprised the students and their parents who did not know the situation.
Many people originally thought that Hermione was only the CEO of the Umbrella Corporation, and that she might have some achievements in potions and management, but they never expected her personal strength to be so strong. Although Demstrand's students had been beaten up by Allen a few years ago, and they also heard that the Hogwarts had also started a combat course under Allen's leadership, they did not expect that in just two or three years, the combat skills of the Hogwarts students had improved so much compared to what they knew during the Goblet of Fire era.
Allen's educational reform in the Hogwarts had indeed stopped the decline of the young wizards' spellcasting skills. Most of the young wizards had experienced a relative information explosion in the past two years, so their knowledge was far higher than the wizards before the educational reform.
However, Hermione did not care about her own performance in the arena. As she read more about the Nether nuclei, her spellcasting skills were different from ordinary wizards, and the progress of the young wizards was nothing compared to her growth.
After Hermione left the arena, she just casually greeted the wizards who greeted her and went to the audience through the contestants' passage. She found Luna's trace near her parents' stand, which was easy to recognize by her hair.
Hermione immediately pressed the sensory imprint on her arm. "Luna, I'm coming. Get ready … Don't be distracted or fall asleep … Follow our plan. Remember to wait for me and my parents for a few minutes before you come over. Then I can invite you to have dinner with us at Three Brooms."
Luna, who was far away in the stands, turned to Hermione when she received the message. She shook her arm, which was wearing a big sunflower bracelet, and made an OK gesture to Hermione.
Hermione was a little worried. She looked at Luna's mouth again, which was probably drooling from her sleep. She pulled herself together and walked to her parents' seat. Because of Najini's presence, there was a lot of space around them, so it was easy to recognize them.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger stood up from their seats when they saw their daughter. Mrs. Granger, who was proud and excited, opened her arms to her daughter. Hermione's adopted daughter, Delphi, flew up from the pram, flapping her chubby arms and legs. Najini, who was curled into a ball, did not open his eyes. He stretched out his long tail and wrapped it around Delphi's waist, skillfully rolling the little girl back.
"Baby, you're amazing." Mr. Granger smiled. "Now I can see how strong you are."
"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you when we get back. "Mrs. Granger hugged her daughter.
Both Mrs. Granger and Mrs. Granger had turned into wizards. Although their spellcasting skills were still relatively weak among the first-year students, they could already see how strong their daughter's spellcasting skills were.
"Although I plan to go to university after graduation, I have a lot of free time. When the time comes, I can teach you in private. The floating city's classes for ordinary muggles and mutes are still a little conservative." Hermione smiled and pretended to raise her head proudly. She glanced at Luna's direction and sighed. "Mom, let's go to the Three Brooms Tavern for dinner tonight. How about a cup of butter beer? It's a little hot today, isn't it? "
But to Hermione's surprise, Mr. Granger waved his hand and refused. "Hermione, your mom has prepared a lot of ingredients in advance. She wants to cook herself …"
"Abusi had a big harvest yesterday when he was fishing. He and Gellert couldn't finish so much, so they shared some with the neighbors." Mrs. Granger stroked her daughter's hair kindly. "You know Autumn Zhang's parents live near us. I heard that you liked their food, so I went to learn how to cook."
"Actually … your mom has fallen in love with the feeling of cooking with magic. She thinks that this way, she can practice her magic control and improve the efficiency of cooking." Mr. Granger spread his hands and pinched his throat to imitate his wife's tone. "The rhythm of dancing with a spatula is addictive."
"Mom, I have something to tell you later …" Hermione looked at her parents with a troubled expression. She thought that they would be more restrained if they were to eat outside.
Then, there was a sound of footsteps. According to Hermione's arrangement, Luna came bouncing over to them.
Hermione waved at Luna in a relaxed manner. She put on a fake smile and said, "Luna, hello. How are you today?"
"Okay, Hermione, let's go to Three Brooms to eat together." Luna stopped her footsteps and said stiffly with her usual carelessness.
"Uh, come to my house for dinner tonight. We can celebrate the end of the exam together." Hermione's smile froze. She had no choice but to play along.
However, Hermione still glared at Luna in annoyance. She didn't believe that a smart girl like her couldn't handle something like this. She knew that Luna was just trying to have fun by memorizing her lines without caring about the context.
"This little girl is so weird that even Hermione is speaking strangely …"
Mr. and Mrs. Granger looked at each other. They had met Luna a few times a few years ago, and now they more or less knew the crazy girl's name. They wanted to celebrate with the Granger family, but they were still happy that their daughter had a female friend other than Jenny.
"Miss Lovegood, what do you like to eat? I've been very good at cooking recently … "Mrs. Granger greeted Luna warmly." Speaking of which, Hermione hasn't brought any female friends home except Jenny. "
"Big Mouth Rainbow Fish!" Luna said happily. She then turned to Mr. Granger. "Do you need that thing called an electric drill to make fish?"
The Granger family's frozen expressions and inner complaints proved that they were indeed a family. "This girl still can't forget the dentist's electric drill."
