Chapter 67 - Next Test (1/2)
The surroundings changed and Chris was back inside the waiting room.
”Good job Chris. It seems that even the diary was extremely happy with your results,” Prometheus said.
(Author's Note: While in most other cases, Prometheus' dialogues are in apostrophes instead of quotation marks, in the waiting room, I'm going to put it in quotation marks simply because it's not like Prometheus is talking to Chris inside his head.)
”How are the girls doing?” Chris asked not caring too much of what the diary thinks of him.
”Well... it's not going so well,” Prometheus said. ”They're children. The Slytherin test tests your resourcefulness and the girls haven't even lived a quarter of their life yet. Without any experience in the real world, I'm surprised that you did so well,”
'Hmm... it looks like neither Prometheus nor the diary figured out I was from another dimension. Unexpected, but good for me I suppose,' Chris thought.
”So what do you think are the chances that the girls would pass?” Chris asked.
”Well... from what I can see, 40% maximum and that's really stretching it. It's more like 25%,” Prometheus said.
”Well, that's better than I expected. I expected something along the lines of 5-10% judging by how you were speaking,” Chris said.
”Luckily, the two of them are extremely intelligent and learning along the way. Essentially, they're forcefully taking this test using their talents. Luckily, the Slytherin test allows people to do that,” Prometheus said.
”Is it alright if I took a peek?” Chris asked.
”No, I can't let you do that. Only the founders, the diary, and I can view your exams. I don't have the power to do anything except tell you the contents of the exam. Well that is until you fail the exam. You can view Hermione and Kristine's test as a spectator if you end up failing. Oh and Salazar Slytherin would like to have a word with you as you have completed your exam. After his words, I'll tell you about the next exam,” Prometheus said.
Soon Salazar sitting on his throne appeared in front of him similar to that of a hologram.
”While I do not like you as you decided to ally yourself with those Muggle-born witches, I do commend you for passing my exam with flying colors. You created wealth from almost completely nothing not with luck, but with the help of the people and resources around you. Even in the end, you have convinced your friend to do something to make sure that the results skewed in your favor,” Salazar said. ”For the sake of my life, you better do well on your next exams. I am prideful, but I am not stupid. My test was the first one and the ones ahead especially the final one will be extremely difficult more than you could ever imagine. Even I found my exam to be relatively difficult especially for kids that do not even know how to use the most basic of spells,”
Salazar disappeared and Chris chuckled.
