"It's really unfair for her to do this. You're not a fifth-grade student. You won't be able to hear the content of the O.W. Ls exam in class. How would she want you to revise?" Hermione said, "Besides, you don't even have a wand on the surface. There are a lot of spells that you can't revise. She's doing this on purpose."
From this perspective, Umrich was indeed very vicious. She confiscated Elwyn's wand and then said that she would give him a chance to take an exam that required the wand and was very important to a student's life. No matter how one looked at it, this was a trap for Elwyn.
If it were someone else, they would probably have broken down by now!
"But in fact, I didn't hand over the wand. Most of the knowledge can be found in the books. Professor Meg also promised to help me contact other professors and persuade them to help me with tutoring, allowing me to sit in on fifth-grade courses and so on." Elwyn said carelessly, "This isn't a bad thing, Hermione. I've learned what I should know. I also want to take the exam to prove myself. If everything goes well, I can take classes with you next year."
After the O.W. Ls exam, the students of Hogwarts were no longer divided into classes according to their grades. Instead, they would enter the corresponding N.E.W.TS class based on their exam results.
This was the last and biggest separation before graduation. The professors had different requirements for grades, so everyone would study separately.
For example, Snape only recruited students with excellent grades in the O.W. Ls exam and taught them to get the N.E.W.TS certificate.
Students who did not meet his requirements could only give up the potion class or continue to study in the potion class of other professors.
Although everyone usually came into contact with the deans of the various schools, in fact, there were hundreds of teaching staff at Hogwarts.
Therefore, if everything went well, Elwyn would be in the same class as Hermione next year.
"But what if something unexpected happens? I mean, what if you can't get A's in every subject?"
For most people, they would be thankful if they could pass and get the O.W.LS certificate. However, Hermione was considering that if Elwyn could not get excellent grades in all his subjects because of this, it would undoubtedly be very unfair to him. It would be a considerable loss …
"Well, with you around, do you think I won't be able to get an excellent grade?" Elwyn asked.
He didn't really care about the results, but Hermione was very concerned about it.
Elwyn couldn't tell her that it wouldn't affect him much if he didn't get an O.W. Ls Excellence.
"Alright, you'll start reviewing with me today. We only have less than seven months!" Hermione said seriously. She took out a work and rest schedule and a pile of parchment papers from her bag and handed them to Elwyn. "These are my class notes and the assignments from the professors. You have to finish them too. I'll bring them to them for you."
She seemed to have made up her mind to supervise Elwyn's studies and help him get a satisfactory result.
By then, they would be able to study in the same class …
Beside the two of them, Harry kept staring at the fire as if it was the end of the world.
After a long time, he asked softly, "Have any of you seen Ron?"
"No, Lavender is also looking for him, but after the competition, no one saw him." Hermione said. Only then did she stop trying to explain the progress of the fifth-year curriculum to Elwyn. "I think he's hiding from us. Maybe, he's …"
At this moment, there was a creaking sound behind them. The fat lady turned forward and Ron climbed in through the hole of the portrait.
His face was very pale, and there were snowflakes on his head.
Seeing that Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione were still there, he was stunned.
"Where did you go?" Hermione jumped up and asked anxiously.
"Taking a walk." Ron mumbled. He was still wearing his Quidditch robe.
He walked to the fireside and slumped into the chair furthest from Harry, not daring to look at them. The Snitch was hovering above the four of them.
"I'm sorry!" Ron muttered as he looked at his toes.
"Why?"
"Because I thought I could play Quidditch." Ron said, "But I can't. I'm too bad. It's better to let Ginny or Gutt play. I plan to leave the team tomorrow morning."
"If you leave the team, there will only be three official players in the team." Harry said impatiently. Seeing that Ron did not understand, he continued, "I'll be banned for life. There's also Fred and George. Angelina can't find anyone to replace them. Besides, the Startaker and Elwyn's wand have been confiscated. Elwyn has to take the O.W. Ls exam in advance and undergo some evaluation … "
"What?" Ron cried. They repeated the story to him.
Harry did not say a word. He could not bear to repeat it again.
When Ron knew about these things, he obviously became more miserable.
"It's all my fault …"
"It's not your fault!"
"If I wasn't so useless on the field …"
"It has nothing to do with this!"
"It's that song that made me nervous …"
"Anyone would be nervous. The lyrics they came up with are terrible!"
Harry and Ron argued one after another. Elwyn and Hermione looked at each other and did not join in.
"Can you not be like this?" Finally, Harry exploded. "It's bad enough without you here to blame yourself."
Ron did not say a word. He looked at his wet robe sadly.
After a while, he said in a muffled voice, "This is the worst I've ever felt in my life."
"It's the same for everyone!" Harry sighed. "You have to perform well. Gryffindor can only rely on you. We …"
At this moment, he suddenly stopped. His eyes widened as he saw Sirius's black head appear in the fire.
"Hello!" He said with a smile. He seemed to have noticed something. "Did I come at the wrong time? The atmosphere doesn't seem right. "
"Hello, Sirius!" A few of them said almost at the same time. They all knelt on the carpet in front of the fireplace.
Mount Crook ran over and approached the fire with a meow. It ignored the heat and wanted to kiss Sirius's face.
Hermione hurriedly pulled Mount Crook back so that it would not burn its whiskers.
"How's the situation? What happened? "He asked softly.
"Not good!" Harry said. He repeated what happened today and argued with Ron about who was responsible.
"Oh, it's terrible!" Sirius said. "That woman is really annoying, isn't she? How's the progress of your Black Magic Defense Team? "
"It's alright. We've given the defense team a name. It's called D.A., which means Dumbledore's Army!"
"That's a good name. The situation is getting more and more complicated. You have to hurry up and learn more magic."
"What do you mean?" Elwyn asked. "Did something happen in Norway?"
