Chapter 518 Lesson

"I still can't figure out how Snape suddenly became the professor of Divination..."

Before the first self-defense lesson of the new semester, Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were sitting in the classroom. They were all very sleepy, but they did not dare to lie down to sleep. They could only continue to talk about the hot topics from last night.

Refreshing.

There is no way, the professor of this course, Professor William, is famously strict. No student who has experienced OWLs dares to say that he passed Professor William's subjects easily.

"God knows what he thinks - I heard that he plans to use the divination course to practice and reform the teaching method... so that he can prove that he is no worse than Professor William..."

Ron mysteriously talked about the news he had heard, causing the surrounding students to laugh - due to Professor Snape's outstanding performance in scores, as long as the topic about Snape is not tainted with the positive, then

It is very easy to resonate with these students.

Just when they were laughing happily, the door was pushed open with an extremely weak creak.

The students who were laughing happily suddenly stopped making all noises. Everyone focused their attention on the podium and watched Professor William quickly walk up to the podium with a thick paper bag in his hand.

"Good morning everyone."

William looked around at the students in the classroom and said, "I don't think I need to introduce myself - everyone is familiar with me from the monthly exams over the years."

This introduction successfully silenced the classroom. Everyone was reminded of Professor Lupine's monthly disappearance and the sudden appearance of something called the monthly exam in Hogwarts.

William patted his paper bag, "Thanks to the exams over the years, and with a little help from Professor Lu Ping, I have a rough idea of ​​the progress of each of you, which means - we are used to

The test for the first semester can now be changed to a more interesting mode."

The impact of this news was so great that everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the classroom was suddenly filled with whispers of disbelief.

What an international joke!

Everyone is saying that Professor William is the best at taking exams and the professor who likes taking exams the most. Some people even say that Professor William has a bookshelf full of various papers - but now, this professor actually told them that they don’t need to do it.

Is it the customary testing test at the beginning of school?

Merlin's socks, this is even more unbelievable than Snape teaching Divination - is the professor cursed by some strange thing?

Except for the dramatic disappointment on Hermione's face, almost everyone looked at William with wide eyes after understanding what William was talking about - Professor, you said it too fast, can you repeat it once and let us feel it?

That feeling of sudden happiness?

"Everyone seems to be surprised - how about I go to the office to find suitable papers and take an exam?"

William smiled and made a sound that was comparable to the devil in the students' ears.

"No need, Professor!"

"Don't!"

…

The chaotic responses sounded, causing chaos in the classroom for a moment.

"Don't be so nervous. You are different from the previous classmates." William took out several stapled transcripts from the paper bag. "Although there was no orderly study from the first grade, Professor Lu Ping wanted to make up for the previous

It took me two full years to make up for your flaws..."

"There is no doubt that Professor Lupine is an excellent professor. I don't think anyone will object to this..."

William picked up the report card and said, "Judging from the monthly exam results, you have a solid grasp of the knowledge points and the content covered in the exam syllabus - this is a very good start. We may be a little tired this year, but

There is absolutely no need to practice excessively just to make up for the holes in the knowledge system like previous students did.”

He wasn't joking - he had been keeping an eye on Harry and his current batch of students based on their monthly exam results, and had discussed many teaching issues with Lupine.

If the students trained in this way need too many papers, then there must be something wrong with the OWLs exam.

"Of course, don't think it's too easy - this is the OWLs year, and the pressure to study will definitely be greater than last year."

"I will reduce the number of daily assessments as appropriate, unless there is a huge change in your grades, and the homework will be appropriately reduced, and try to only assess key issues - but the premise of all this is that you must ensure that you

The results can be stabilized within a certain range.”

He looked at the somewhat surprised students below and said, "So, please keep your grades up and don't ask me to give you the same amount of homework as last year's students."

"Down below, we're going to start a simple assessment. Everyone, come here according to the list and draw your relevant spell assessments - move your seats and line up!"

In less than three minutes, the classroom was in the shape William needed - Lupine had done too many things like clearing desks to make space, and the students were not unfamiliar with it at all.

"Harry, what are you doing standing there?"

William glanced at Harry who was standing in the team, "You take the assessment here, and I will take the assessment here. The two teams will be faster together!"

As he spoke, he put a small cloth bag on the table and told Harry who was running over the assessment rules, "Each person randomly selects five spellcasting items and records them. The amount of today's homework will be determined based on the assessment results!

"

"Just be their opponent - be careful not to send anyone to the hospital!"

He warned Harry one last time, and then walked to a group of students with confidence, "Come on, come here to extract your assessment content, and then use it in front of me."

"Hannah Abbott!"

This familiar name made William couldn't help but raise his head - this child is Old Tom's granddaughter.

Of course, this Tom is not that Tom, he is the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

For this friendship, he also had to let Hannah pass the OWLs exam with high scores - specifically, this was reflected in more homework and targeted papers.

The girl, who had no idea about the reality of magical society, stepped forward generously and pulled out the first note under William's encouraging eyes.

【Obstruction Curse.】

William glanced at it, tapped the chalk with his finger, and then transformed it into a shield.

"Attack it."

Hannah took a breath, and then cast the spell in an extremely standard posture - the shield was intact.

"The posture is qualified, the strength is weak, the time is qualified, and it passes normally."

William nodded, "Next test."

"Professor, how do I judge the standards for spells..."

Harry was silently observing William's actions at first, but when he saw the whole assessment process, he suddenly became speechless - he didn't know the standards...

"Oh...I almost forgot...Harry, use the Iron Armor Charm, or try to conjure a shield."

Soon, Harry used the Iron Armor Curse, and William pointed it casually. The spell lightly hit the Iron Armor Curse's shield, and then caused a ripple.

"This level of strength is enough. If it's just a little bit different, it's weak. If it's a lot less, it's a failure... You know the casting time and posture." William thought for a while and added, "Don't let the students you know know off. If you are beaten by me,

If you catch it, the homework of all Gryffindor students will be doubled."

As soon as William finished speaking, the suppressed smiles on the faces of the Gryffindors lined up on Harry's side disappeared without a trace.

But William didn't care about this. He turned his head and looked at Hannah, "The next test."

…

The assessment was carried out in an orderly manner, and the students were happy to see the results - it was better than doing papers.

"Next!"

William tapped the parchment, recorded the students' scores, and glanced at Harry who was helping over there.

What was beyond his expectation was that Harry could actually successfully transform into a shield to replace the Iron Armor Charm for testing, and his recording method was also moving closer to him. Although he was still using a wand, he could already do it.

After tapping for a while, it’s time to record the students’ scores.

'Strange - I haven't taught him any spells in this area, and judging from his early performance, he really doesn't know how to do it... When did his talent for transformation become so high?'

William was a little curious - he knew Harry's talent well, and it was impossible for Harry to have this kind of transfiguration talent that could be slowly figured out at a glance...

"Harry," he stopped the test, called to Harry, and snapped his fingers with his left hand in his doubtful eyes, "come and try this!"

A ball of flame lit up near his finger, and then turned into a match rope and quickly weaved it in the air, quickly forming a shield like a burning vine shield.

This unwarranted requirement confused a group of students waiting for the test - there was no spell, no waving of the wand when casting the spell, and no principle. Just cast a spell and then ask the students to learn it?

Is this what the world of OWLs is like?

Is this what the OWLs exam is about?

"Take your time, don't rush."

William smiled at Harry, then looked at the remaining students, "Let's continue the test, try it with a new shield this time."

"Bonus points if you can extinguish it or crush it - all other criteria are the same."

But this was obviously impossible to accomplish. Although subsequent students tried more after the five rated spells, the results were exactly the same. All the spells they mastered had no effect on the shield.

But Harry's side was different - he was trying to change the shape of the shield every time he cast a spell. By the time the students took the test, he could even use things to deform and weave an ugly shield.

.

It happened that William had also finished the test. He glanced at Harry's shield and said, "Protect with all your strength, Harry."

"Yes, Professor!"

Harry nodded, and then used all his strength to weave a super ugly but extremely thick shield. William waved his wand - the shield broke in response.
