Chapter 1013 (1/2)
In fact, because of Hagrid's solitary tone, and because they don't have to take care of Gloop, Harry decided to do well in the protection of magic biology class exam on Tuesday, in order to keep Hagrid away.
However, Hagrid's teaching is as unreliable as ever.
The practice test was arranged on the lawn next to the Forbidden Forest in the afternoon, where students were asked to identify the Proteus among a dozen hedgehogs (they coaxed them by giving them milk in turn: the Proteus is highly vigilant, its hedgehog like bristles have many magical uses, and they are usually violent and can poison what they see); then Demonstrate how to deal with a tree protecting pot, feed and bathe fire crabs without severe burns, and then multiple-choice questions to choose from a wide range of foods that should be given to sick unicorns.
Well, as a matter of fact, Harry didn't want to understand why he had to bathe those guys who were burning all over. In the words of van Lin, high temperature is the perfect sterilization
Well, bacteria
Harry could see Hagrid looking anxiously through the window of his hut. When Harry's examiner, a plump, slightly short witch, laughed at him and told him he could go, Harry gave Hagrid a quick thumbs up sign before the castle.
The theory test of astronomy went well on Wednesday morning. Harry wasn't sure he had written the names of Jupiter and all the moons right, but at least he was confident it wouldn't be bad.
They had to wait until the evening to test their practical skills in astronomy; so they were replaced by divination in the afternoon. Even if Harry's divination has always been poor, the exam was absolutely terrible.
He might as well look at the moving image in the blank crystal ball; for when he took the tea test, he felt that his head was missing. He predicted that Professor marybank would soon meet a fat, ignorant, wet stranger. What's more, he confused the lifeline and wisdom line in her palm and told her that she should have been last week Two died.
……
Cursing a professor's death should be the worst of all answers.
……
”Well, we usually fail one of the courses.” As they walked up the marble stairs, Ron said in dismay. He just told him how he told his examiner that he saw an ugly man with a tumor on his nose in his crystal ball. Only when he looked up did he realize that it was the reflection of his examiner in the crystal ball, which made Harry feel better.
”We shouldn't have studied this stupid subject in the first place.” Said Harry. ”Even so, at least we can give it up now.”
”Yes.” ”We don't have to pretend that we care about what happens when Jupiter meets Uranus,” Harry said
”And from now on, I won't care if my tea means death, Ron, death - I just threw them all back into the box they should be in.” Harry laughed, which was what he had always dreamed of, but as autumn passed by, Harry became stiff.
”How was your exam?”
”I think it's ok...” Cho said happily, and Harry and Ron were relieved.
”It looks like we'll have our constellations soon before dinner.”
When Harry point reached the astronomical tower, they found it was a perfect sky without clouds. The ground was sprinkled with a layer of silver moonlight, and the night sky was slightly cold. Each of them set up his or her binoculars, and when Professor marybank gave the order, they began to fill in the constellation they were sent to.
Professor markebank and Professor sinnista strolled among them to see if they found the right location for the stars and planets they should be looking for.
Except for the rustling of parchment, everything was so harmonious. Occasionally came the sound of telescope angle adjustment, and the sound of feather pen in capital close-up. Half an hour later, and then an hour later, the golden light reflected from the castle window above the small platform faded and disappeared.
But when Harry finished Orion on on his parchment, below where Harry was standing, the front of the castle suddenly opened, so that the light leaked out, forming a narrow path of light on the lawn.
This made Harry very curious. Strictly speaking, it would not interfere with this situation.
When Harry made some adjustments with the adjuster of his telescope, he glanced down and saw five or six elongated shadows moving across the lawn before the door closed, and the lawn was as dark as the sea. Harry pulled his eyes back into his telescope and refocused. Now it's time to test Venus.
He gazed at his constellations to locate the planets, but something was upsetting him; he stopped his quill on the parchment, and he squinted at the shadows on the ground and saw half a dozen human figures on the lawn. If they didn't move, the moon would not shine on their heads, and it would be impossible to identify which road they were from.At such a distance, Harry couldn't look too light, but Harry still felt something.
All that can be done is the man whom fudge sent to replace Umbridge. Poor Umbridge is still left in the tribe by people and horses.
Just as Harry was distracted, someone coughed behind him, and he remembered that he was still in the exam.
He completely forgot the position of Venus. He pressed his eyes on the telescope, and when he found Venus again on his constellation map, he heard a distant thump echoing through the deserted ground, followed by the sound of a big dog covered with cloth. He looked up, his heart beating violently.
Hagrid's window was illuminated, and his outline showed that he wanted to fight the men squatting on the lawn. The door opened and he could see clearly that six figures flashed in quickly. The door closed again and it was quiet.
Harry was very upset. He swept around to see if Ron had noticed what he was seeing, but then professor marybank came up to him in a way that seemed like Harry was peeking at someone else's work. Harry scribbled out his horoscope, then pretended to add something else and looked curiously at the railing over the Hagrid cottage.
Now the window of the hut is constantly moving, and the lights are on and off. He could feel professor marzbank's eyes fixed on his head and neck. He forced his eyes to turn again to his telescope and keep his eyes on the moon. Although he had marked its position an hour ago, he heard a roar from the direction of the hut, and the echo went through the darkness to the top of the astronomical tower.
Several of the people around Harry moved their telescopes in front of them and looked in the direction of Hagrid's cabin. Professor sinista gave another dry cough.
”Now concentrate, boys and girls.” He said softly. Most of the people went back to their telescopes. Harry looked to the left and Ron was staring blankly at Hagrid's cabin.
”Hmmm - in 20 minutes.” Professor sinista said.
Ron came to his senses and immediately turned his attention to his horoscope; Harry looked down and noticed that he had mistakenly placed Venus on the Mars chart. He quickly corrected it.
There was a loud noise on the ground. ”Ouch!” cried several
They were all too eager to see what was going on down there and poked one end of their telescope into their face. Hagrid's door was slammed open, and through the light leaking from the hut, they could see a big figure roaring and waving his fist, entangled by six people, all of them, through the subtle signs of the red light they were shooting in his direction, they seemed to want to stun him.
Some timid girls let out a burst of panic, but this only in return for Professor cinnista's indignation.
”Dear!” ”It's an exam,” Professor zinesta said indignantly
But no one cares about their constellations any more. In Hagrid's cabin, the red light was still spraying, but for no reason, they seemed to be testing him.
Hagrid was still standing upright, and Harry wanted to see the fight as well as he could. Echoes of surrender and shouting passed through the field; a man called out, ”be sensible, Hagrid!”
Hagrid growled, ”damn reason, you don't want to take me like this, davas!”
