Chapter 35 If Nothing Unexpected Happens, Then Something Unexpected Will Happen

Because changing the wand requires going to Diagon Alley, Gretel accepted Ollivander's advice.

Communicating with the wand frequently can enhance the spirituality of the wand and make the wand fit in perfectly with itself.

From that day on, Gretel began the endless road of talking to the wand.

To be honest, even in Ravenclaw, which is full of weirdos, it is rare to see such a strange situation.

A first-year wizard, holding his wand and whispering whenever he has something to do.

If it weren't for Gretel's excellent performance in the past few months, he might have been given a few more nicknames such as wand madman.

Even Terry, who lived in the same dormitory, cast a concerned look from time to time.

He suspected that Gretel was worried about the exam, and comforted Gretel: "No one in the four colleges is better at studying than you, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself.

If it doesn't work, let's go to Ms. Pomfrey and listen to the seniors. She is the best at comforting little wizards who are anxious about exams."

Unfortunately, Gretel only rolled her eyes.

Gretel communicated with the wand day and night, and even talked in his sleep while holding the wand.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gretel seemed to really feel the spirituality of the wand that Ollivander said.

Although it still didn't obey from time to time when casting spells related to black magic, the frequency of occurrence was much less than before.

Even when casting other ordinary spells, Gretel felt like he was using his arms.

So much so that when it came to the practical operation test of the spell class, Professor Flitwick praised Gretel's spell control for being unusually smooth.

On the day the exam ended, all the colleges, including Ravenclaw, unloaded the burden brought by the exam week.

For the first time in a long time, the little eagles of Ravenclaw no longer continued to roll inward, and left the tower and library one by one, and chose to bask in the sun in various places in Hogwarts.

The Black Lake at the turn of spring and summer faded away from the dampness and coldness. Under the sun, the water in the shallow water even felt a little warm to the touch.

I have to say that the scenery of Hogwarts is absolutely beautiful. From a distance, the Black Lake looks like a piece of black natural crystal, sparkling under the sunlight.

When you get closer, you will find that the lake water in most places is almost transparent. The black color is because the lake water is too clear, and you can see the fat lake mud at the bottom of the lake.

Standing at the shallow water of the Black Lake, you can see a huge squid lying lazily in the water, basking in its belly that never sees the sun all year round.

Some brave senior wizards still playfully condensed a few water balls and threw them at the big squid.

The big squid didn't mind. Only when the water balls of the little wizards accidentally hit its eyes, it shook its tentacles in dissatisfaction and spit out a string of bubbles from its mouth.

There are rumors that this big squid may be Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor, because the legend says that Godric Gryffindor's Animagus is a squid.

There are also rumors that Godric was cursed by the blood curse. As the curse deepened, he slowly lost his consciousness and eventually became an ordinary squid.

But in the end, no one can prove it. Hogwarts does not even prohibit wizards from making fun of it, so this story is just a story.

Across the shallow water, if the vision is good enough, you can see the mermaids celebrating the sunshine under the water.

Although they are not as beautiful as the legendary mermaids, they do not have moving singing voices or graceful bodies.

However, their postures are really agile, and the sense of power that shuttles under the water has a different kind of beauty.

In the sunny places farther away, there are still many people lying comfortably on the lawn, enjoying the warm sunshine like the giant squid.

No matter what grade, they are enjoying the week before the results come out.

——

When Terry and Gretel arrived, there was no good place by the Black Lake.

They had to go up the low slope in the distance.

"I seem to see Harry Potter, Harry Potter of Gryffindor, the savior."

As soon as they reached the top of the short slope and found a good position, Terry pulled Gret's clothes.

"It seems that they haven't found a place to relax. Do you need me to call them? Let's bask in the sun together."

He knew that these little lions had a good relationship with Gret.

"No, there's no need."

Gret glanced at Harry and the others and saw that they were heading towards Hagrid's hut.

"No, we'll bask in the sun by ourselves, and they'll find their own place."

Gret certainly knew that the Savior team was about to start their adventure.

Gret was like an outsider, silently watching them run to Hagrid's hut.

And then he rushed back to the castle in a hurry.

"Gryffindor is really energetic, unlike us, who have been taking such a long exam, and feel like they've shed a layer of skin."

Obviously, Terry was also observing the Savior team, muttering in his mouth.

Gret almost laughed, but fortunately he held it back.

If he wasn't afraid of hurting Terry, he really wanted to tell him.

"No, in the whole Ravenclaw, only you feel like you have lost a layer of skin. You are a lion in an eagle's skin."

Terry never worked hard on the classes he was not interested in, which led to Terry scratching his head in the potion exam, transfiguration exam, and astronomy exam.

However, his paper grades should not be too bad. Memorizing is always the easiest thing for Ravenclaw.

Even for Terry, this is true.

In the practical exam of potions, because of Gretel's influence, although there are many mistakes, it is not a big problem, at least he can pass.

The practical exam of Transfiguration is not so good.

The snuff bottle he conjured even had two beards, and Professor McGonagall deducted a lot of points.

There were also mistakes in the practical operation of spells. His pineapple fell and rolled off the desk while tap dancing.

Fortunately, Dean Flitwick encouraged him and asked him to operate it again. In theory, he should not be given too low a score.

After all, these scores are to be shown to parents during the holidays.

If the grades are too bad, Terry will not have a very comfortable holiday.

Dean Flitwick has never done such cruel things to the little wizard.

——

In this kind of weather, the sun cannot be exposed for too long, otherwise it will make your head dizzy.

If it weren't for the pressure brought by this exam week, there would not be so many people coming out to bask in the sun. They want to escape from this stressful castle too much.

From the moment the exams ended, all the little wizards were waiting for the holiday with both excitement and anxiety.

The excitement was that the holiday was finally here, and they would have a vacation that lasted for several months.

The anxiety was that if the results were not ideal after a week, their long vacation would become like being in prison.

If nothing unexpected happened, Gret, who had also put down the pressure of the exam week, should have an unusually comfortable sleep.

Until the rising sun shone through the window and hit his face.

But unfortunately, at this time, some strange accidents often occurred.

There is still one chapter, which will be a little late. Book friends, go to bed first and read it tomorrow morning.

I wish you all a good dream and good night.

Small theater

Gret: I wish that nothing happens tonight and spring flowers will bloom tomorrow morning.

Harry (Ron, Hermione): I don’t agree.

Voldemort: I don’t agree either.

Gret: ? ? ?
