Chapter 122 Exam Week
Summer came quietly to the grounds around the castle; the sky, like the lake, turned into a light blue with purple light, and flowers as big as cabbages bloomed in the greenhouse.
The Quidditch season ended long ago. Not surprisingly, Slytherin won this year's Quidditch Cup. The seven Nimbus 1001 sponsored by Lucius really helped a lot.
Of course, this did not make Professor Meadows have a good impression of them. Punishments from time to time still extended the time of their confinement.But perhaps because of Professor Slughorn, Meadows did not embarrass them too much in terms of college scores.
But no one will care about this anymore, because exam week is coming soon.
"Class grades are just class grades, but this is a test."
In the potion preparation room, Lily was forcibly pulled over by Karan. While the potion was being brewed, Lily was carrying a beginner's book on transfiguration. She kept mumbling: "I can't believe you learned it in advance. The Transformation Spell is already so difficult even though it is only a first-year course."
She has completely given up on the fantasy of magic coins and only hopes to get a good grade at the end of the semester.
Snape on the side didn't fare much better. He memorized the notes from the History of Magic class over and over again, and didn't even notice the valerian root that Karan handed over.
The upcoming exams and the peaceful and peaceful life at Hogwarts have completely made them forget about secretly following Malfoy, but this also makes them no longer have the heart to deal with these potions that are too much beyond the curriculum requirements.
Karan reluctantly put away the ingredients, and he had no choice but to say to the two of them: "Forget it, let's wait until the exam is over for the potion..."
Before he could finish speaking, the two people in front of him neatly put away their backpacks, their movements surprisingly consistent.
"We are not you"
After seeing Karan's dazed look, Lily glared at him angrily: "The exam is about to begin, but you still insist on dragging the two of us over. I really don't know what you are thinking."
"That's right." Snape nodded, looking at him with resentful eyes.
Karan smiled indifferently, and he silently cleared the long table without saying anything else.
But after seeing Karan's indifferent look, the two men gradually slowed down.
"You don't care about test scores so much"
Lily looked at him suspiciously: "Or are you planning to deliberately not get a good grade in the exam, just like you have always done?"
Both of them are aware of Karan's low profile. The most powerful evidence is that until now, Karan has not received even a single academy grade in Charms or Transfiguration.
Not once.
But he is obviously very good at both of these, otherwise he would not have studied the transformation spell in advance.
Karan just smiled mysteriously again, but still said nothing.
"What are you hiding?"
Snape couldn't help but asked: "Normally, forget it, but this is the final exam, don't you even care about this?"
He really couldn't understand Karan's thoughts. He could obviously get more attention and care.
It can also become more beautiful.
Karan stared at the two of them silently, his short short hair seemed to float in front of his forehead a few times.
But the flame of the candle did not move, not flicker.
"I would if I had enough time."
he finally whispered.
"But it's not that important anymore."
Lily and Snape looked at each other confused.
"What are you referring to?" Lily asked equally quietly, with concern in her eyes.
"Of course I mean the potion."
The expression on Karan's face suddenly changed. He smiled and said, "I'm still waiting to publish a book for you. This is much more important than the exam."
Lily pouted and snorted, obviously dissatisfied with Karan's answer.
But Snape said it with a serious expression.
"It's us."
Karan just smiled.
did not speak.
in the library.
"By the way, Larry and Andromeda haven't woken up yet? This semester is almost over."
Steve rested his head on one arm, tilted his head and looked out the window at the blue sky, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "The weather is really nice, it would be great if the abnormality in the Forbidden Forest could be eliminated as soon as possible... .....”
At this time, Gaspard's cold words brought him back to reality.
"Have you finished memorizing the notes on the History of Magic? We haven't taken the History of Magic class for a whole semester. If you fail this class..."
Steve was so frightened that he stopped looking at the scenery. He was reading the History of Magic notes spread out on the table, and asked with a sad face that was gradually becoming chubby: "Why are we memorizing the History of Magic? Lan is studying Advanced Transfiguration. Are we taking the same exam?"
"After all, I am a gifted student with difficulty in sorting." Karan, who was sitting opposite, said without raising his head: "Stop complaining, how are you mastering the four spells in Defense Against the Dark Arts class? Don’t get beaten again for no reason then.”
Steve immediately asked in horror: "Can we still compete with Dorcas during the exam?"
Gaspard pushed up his glasses silently and stared at Steve with strange eyes: "What did you listen to in the last class?"
"I...I'm reading a book," Steve replied hesitantly.
"The last class was a dueling class." Karan looked up and gave him a strange look.
"Uh..." Steve opened his mouth and said with a smile: "I stayed in the suitcase too late the day before, so I couldn't help falling asleep during class. Ravenclaw's Lovegood helped cover me, so Dorcas didn't notice."
"never mind."
Karan lowered his head again: "I'll help you make up for your lessons in time when I get back later. It won't take much time."
"Hmm." Steve blinked. He suddenly thought of Karan's appearance when feeding those magical animals. Now that his control is getting better and better, it must be less likely that these spells will be difficult for him.
However, Steve replied: "I refuse."
Even if you don't do well in the exam, it will only hurt once at most.
He didn't want to be a target before the exam.
Karan replied lazily: "Rejection is invalid."
Both he and Gespard ignored Steve's depressed expression, but Gespard still stared at Karan and asked: "You don't have to worry about...your own things anymore."
Even during the exam period, Karan went out less often, and every time he was alone.
Karan replied helplessly: "I already told you that I was practicing magic spells."
Gaspard looked him up and down, the two lenses on the left and the right seemed to reflect two rays of light: he didn't believe it.
Karan rolled his eyes.
"Magic thread, magic thread." He reminded: "It's coming to an end soon. I have to try harder, lest you fail to win the gold medal again."
Only then did Gaspard look away, but he still added in a strange tone: "I'm looking forward to it."
Karan rolled his eyes tiredly.
At this time, four other people came over from a distance. They were wearing black and red uniforms and were the future robbers of Gryffindor.
However, perhaps because this was a library, the leaders James and Sirius did not provoke Karan anymore, but whispered something to the pale Lupine behind them.
"Perhaps we should review the content taught in Transfiguration class." Lupine suggested in a low voice: "Professor McGonagall is very strict."
"I already know those things." James said nonchalantly: "What we should consider more is celebrating after the exam."
"Maybe we can start tonight." Sirius raised his eyebrows, and he and James exchanged fists in tacit understanding.
Peter looked at them expectantly from behind.
"Celebrate..." Steve looked at their backs and couldn't help but said: "We should also celebrate then."
"History of Magic." Gaspard reminded him expressionlessly again.
"I know, I know." Steve lowered his head and hummed as he continued to recite the history of magic.
