Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the Divination and Astronomy exams were over, there was only the History of Magic exam left.
This was also the most difficult and boring exam so far. There was no practical part, only theoretical written exam.
It was really difficult to remember complicated names, dates, and historical events. As early as a month ago, Hermione had lent her class notes to Harry and Ron. It was six and a half feet thick, and they had not finished reading it even when it was almost time for the exam.
Elwyn was not much better. Whenever he saw the complicated magic history, he wanted to sleep.
The atmosphere in the common room was similar. The warm summer breeze blew in through the window. The students stretched and yawned in front of the open window, looking listless. Hermione was probably the only one who could not relax.
Around her, everyone was talking about how they should relax after the exam.
Some people wanted to go back to their dorms for a good sleep, some wanted to go shopping in Hogsmeade, some wanted to study the latest prank list of Weasley's magic tricks, and some wanted to have a good meal to relax. Harry and Ron, on the other hand, wanted to go to the Quidditch stadium, ride on their flying broomsticks, and enjoy the feeling of freedom after getting rid of revision and exams.
As for Elwyn, he had it all planned!
After the exam, before the end of the semester, he would go to Egypt to participate in the upcoming International Alchemy Conference.
With the help of Dumbledore and Nico Lemour, he got an invitation to the conference.
This was a large-scale international exchange event for all alchemists in the world. It was held every five years in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and lasted for a month.
At that time, famous alchemists from all over the world would exchange experiences and share their research results.
The organizer of the conference, the International Alchemist Union, had specially set up an award for the conference, the Gobalot Alchemy Award.
The Gobalot Alchemy Award Committee selects wizards who have made great contributions to the field of potionology or alchemy in the past three years. The rewards for the winners were different every year. Usually, there would be a lot of gold coins, certificates, and travel rewards.
In recent years, due to the lack of funds, the subsidies given by the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and the International Sorcerer Union had been decreasing. There had been a few awards in a row, which caused great dissatisfaction among alchemists. However, as the only international award related to alchemy, the Gobalot Alchemy Award was very valuable.
Even if there was no prize money or certificate, the International Ministry of Magic would provide corresponding subsidies.
In addition, three hundred years ago, Nicole Lemaire had received a lifetime achievement award from the committee.
When Dumbledore was still in school, he also received the Gobalot Alchemy Award Committee's Gold Award for Pioneering Contribution and a large sum of money.
However, his greatest achievement in alchemy, the discovery of the twelve uses for dragon blood, did not win the prize.
It had to be said that this was a pity.
Elwyn's main purpose for going this time was to learn and increase his knowledge, as well as to prepare for entering the Sun Ruins to investigate the time distortion phenomenon there. He did not have any research results. In the past few years, his main focus in alchemy was on the study of the most basic ancient magic texts and the construction of magic runes. He only made some prank products and other small things.
So, he just went to see!
Because they only received one invitation, Hermione and Elaine could not go, so only Elwyn went …
He only hoped that this trip to Egypt would be smooth and there would be no unexpected trouble.
In short, there was still one more exam, but the students' minds were no longer on the upcoming magic history written exam.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the candidates dragged their tired bodies into the auditorium and sat down in front of the upside-down test papers.
The ghost Professor Benz also did not appear to accompany the invigilator. Everyone was exhausted and just wanted to end this long exam as soon as possible.
"Open your papers." Professor Maciban said from the front of the auditorium as he immediately turned the huge hourglass upside down. "You may begin."
Elwyn looked through the exam questions. They were not easy. For example, the fourth question, in your opinion, did the Wand Ordinance cause or help to better control the rebellion of the fairies in the 18th century? The fifth question, how was the Secrecy Act violated in 1749, and what bill was proposed to prevent similar situations from happening again? The tenth question, state the reasons and circumstances that led to the establishment of the International Wizard Union, and explain why the wizards of Liechtenstein refused to join …
They were all divergent discussion questions. If it was pure magic, Elwyn could still perform, but magic history …
This kind of exam was calculated, and the examiner would also pay more attention to completeness when marking the papers.
Behind every seemingly simple historical event, there was a significant background factor, and it was very difficult to analyze it.
After only answering five questions, Elwyn felt that his brain had become numb and slow.
He tried to recall the content related to the exam, as well as Hermione's notes, which had organized each question in detail, and looked up from time to time at the big hourglass on Professor Maciban's table. Elwyn remembered that in the original plot, Harry saw Lord Voldemort capture Sirius during this exam.
So, would Harry see something this time, whether real or not …
But nothing happened. After Elwyn finished answering the last question about the expulsion of the vampires, nothing happened until Professor Maciban asked all the students to put down their pens and collect their papers. Harry did not enter the mind of Lord Voldemort again.
The O.W. exam was over. What the students needed to do now was to indulge themselves and wait for the exam results.
Based on the results, they would decide the next semester's courses and professors.
For example, Snape decided not to recruit students with excellent scores in the potion exam.
This meant that most people would have to say goodbye to him. If they wanted to continue to study potion, they would have to enroll in another professor's class.
In fact, there were a lot of Hogwarts staff, but most of them were not famous …
"Thank God, it's finally over!"
"I think I have a question …"
"Please, Hermione, don't mention the exam to me before the next semester begins." Ron said in a hurry.
"What we need to do now is to relax. I just saw Seamus and Dean. They are going to buy butter beer at Hogsmeade. They invited us to go with them for tonight's all-night celebration."
"Harry, you can't leave the school now!"
"Yes, but I think it would be good to fly a few laps with a crossbow arrow. Lord Voldemort won't be waiting for me in the castle."
Harry and Ron ran back to the bedroom to get their flying brooms, leaving Elwyn and Hermione to sort out the piles of exam materials.
Everyone in Gryffindor's common room was very excited. It was as if a festival was coming.
According to previous years, there would be an all-night celebration after the exam …
