Chapter 270 Dirty methods of the Magic Federation (thanks to Ah Wei for the reward)
noon. Sean came to the auditorium and gave a meaningless speech to soothe the students.
At noon, the cafeteria prepared some ginger soup for the students to go to the cold.
All the little wizards were not very interested, and they would go to the dormitory to rest after eating.
Hufflepuffs also had some students tidying up crops and doing things like weeding in the fields.
Early the next morning, the professors began to bring the little wizards to harvest.
The harvested grain is enough for Hogwarts to eat for about a year, which is just in time for next year's harvest.
In this way, Sean has saved a lot of gold Galleons.
Time passed by, and the familiar cold wind in the Scottish Highlands blew again.
The day before Christmas, Sean opened his eyes and found that the outside was covered in silver, and the whole land was white.
The professors also began to decorate the castle in preparation for the New Year's Christmas.
Christmas is a week off, and a week later, it's a one-week exam week.
Sean canceled this year's Academy Cup, this year is not suitable for such a grand event.
However, some outstanding individuals will still be selected. After all, Sean has made a promise before that he will give some outstanding students some moon fruits.
Sitting in the office, Sean began to calculate the income and expenses of Hogwarts this year.
Hogwarts purchased a batch of potion textbooks and food at the beginning of this year, costing about half a million Galleons.
And in that year, Hogwarts harvested materials 14 times through the Forbidden Forest, each of which was about one million Galleons.
And the harvest from Black Lake and Gryffindor fields adds up to Hogwarts' net income of 5 million Galleons this year.
At least it's making a profit!
That's a good sign, and it's all long-term development, and as long as it keeps up, Hogwarts will be able to pay off all its debts in no time.
And Sean feels that when the Goblet of Fire next year, there might be some extra income!
Leaning back in his chair, Sean looked at Ravenclaw's gold cup on the desk and fell into contemplation.
This gold cup allowed Sean to find hope for ordinary Muggles to become wizards, but the conditions were a bit outrageous.
The moment Sean got the gold cup, the system released the task:
[Fill up Hufflepuff's Gold Cup: As Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, it can make any liquid into a fine wine, and at the same time, drinking the wine in the Gold Cup can even improve the perception of magic. 】
[If Muggles drink a lot, maybe they can find a way to become wizards. 】
[Completion condition: Find the pearl in the Hufflepuff Gold Cup. 】
[The last wizard saw it was on the pillow of Queen Elizabeth I of the Eagle Kingdom. This news comes from a certain Mr. Malfoy who did not want to be named. 】
Seeing this condition, Sean rolled his eyes to the sky.
I heard that Lucius chased after Elizabeth I before, but I didn't expect Lucius to be so outrageous, even knowing that the pearl appeared on Elizabeth's pillow!
But the most outrageous thing was that Elizabeth was nearly fifty now, and Sean had no idea how to get into her room.
After all, it is the royal family of the Eagle Kingdom. Since Lucius can become a noble of the Eagle Kingdom, we know that the royal family is protected by wizards.
It's not that Sean is afraid of them, it's just... a young guy sneaking into an old woman's boudoir and stealing pearls if word spreads, Sean won't be in the wizarding world.
Really, everyone is lost!
But every year after Christmas, there will be a dance between nobles, maybe Sean will have a chance at that time!
“Tuk tuk tuk…”
The door was knocked, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a sad face:
"Sean, it's exam week soon, and the fifth graders haven't studied much this year."
"And seventh graders, they're graduating this year, and if they can't pass N·E·W·T, they can't graduate!"
"We have to run a Christmas holiday training class and need your signature."
Sean scratched his head and asked:
"Who came up with this topic? Is it the same every year?"
Professor McGonagall shook his head:
"The questions are from the Ministry of Magic, and there are some changes to the questions every year. Generally speaking, the junior wizards who need to take the test in the fifth grade, that is, OWL, are relatively easy."
"But the seventh-grade ultimate wizard N·E·W·T is very difficult!"
Sean pondered for a while, then smiled and said:
"Professor McGonagall, if it's convenient for you, can you get me a copy of the exam papers from the past seven years? I'd like to study it."
Professor McGonagall took a deep look at Sean and said seriously:
"Sean, every year every magic school will study topics for the pass rate. In fact, no one has found a fixed rule for passing."
"After all, the pass rate of the exam represents the ranking of the academy, and we at Hogwarts are only in the middle and lower reaches."
Sean nodded to indicate that he knew, and then Professor McGonagall went to get the test paper and put it in front of Sean.
Sean first took a look at the fifth grade O·W·L, and found that in the fifth grade, the main test is the proficiency of magic spells, transfiguration and other magic spells.
In fact, if you have a beautiful hand of Transfiguration or magic spells, you can pass this exam perfectly.
There is no pressure on this class of fifth graders!
Their spell proficiency, even Hufflepuffs, was comparable to that of seventh-grade students in previous years.
Not to mention Slytherin, the group of children are now no less than the adult wizards outside.
The problem lies in the seventh grade.
Here, there are a lot of subjects to be tested, the nature of spells, the history of the magic world, potions, and actual combat, that is, spell proficiency.
The actual combat is easy, but the hard part is the first three written questions.
Yes, the potion is in the seventh grade, not practical, but theory!
Know that this is the hardest part!
To make a potion, as long as you remember the recipe, you can pass it perfectly by memorizing it.
But once they take the written test, perhaps the students of Longguo have a deep understanding.
Getting students to write essays and reading comprehension are not at the same level of difficulty.
To configure a potion is to write an essay. As long as you roughly know how to write it, you can write it down and score points.
And the properties of medicinal materials are reading comprehension, and sometimes they are even over-interpreted. Basically, they do not appear in practical examples, and the properties that only exist between theories must also be written!
In the written test, all the properties of the medicinal materials must be memorized, and it is difficult to determine which medicinal medicinal material is. At least Sean looked at it. In the past seven years, no medicinal medicinal material has been repeated.
In the first year, the test is about the nature of bezoar, and there are three pages of kraft paper for this answer!
Wouldn't it be fatal to memorize this thing!
The second year is Fuzicao, which is not bad, only two pages, but not a lot.
Now Sean is thinking, should he use his connections to check this year's exam questions!
There are no rules! It is estimated that the question maker just took the medicinal herbs that came up in his head to do the exam questions, and it is impossible to prepare for it.
However, as an excellent traveler from the Dragon Kingdom, Sean knows the essence of exam-oriented education!
After less than half an hour, Sean had probably discovered some patterns!
Here, the wizards of the Eagle Country have a wrong starting point. They start from the medicinal materials themselves to find regular,
But each medicinal material is different, how can there be regularity?
Sean is different. He starts from the properties of medicinal materials to find laws!
For example, what can detoxify?
This is very simple, bezoar and mandrake, these two correspond to different ways of detoxification.
Thinking of this, the writing quill beside Sean suddenly stood up and began to write on the paper.
As time passed by, Professor McGonagall became more and more frightened as he looked beside Sean.
Sean's understanding of potions is comparable to Snape's.
No way, who made Sean a proud disciple of Snape, to be honest, all of Snape's potion skills were perfectly inherited by Sean.
Sean is classified according to the nature of the medicinal materials. Although the things that the students have to memorize have not decreased at all, the difficulty has decreased by more than one percentage point!
It's similar to if the students had to memorize a string of garbled characters before!
So now, Sean has put the gibberish in order, which makes it a lot easier for students to memorize!
"587 Sean, how did you come up with this?"
Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
Sean chuckled lightly:
"Professor McGonagall, you are joking. I am someone who has come from the college entrance examination. No one is more proficient in this kind of examination-oriented education than me."
Although Professor McGonagall didn't understand it, that didn't stop her from closing her mouth in surprise!
It didn't take long for Sean to have written as much as a book!
There are not only seven years, but also the test skills of the fifth grade OWL.
In fact, it's very easy, the examiners are also human, and Sean directly wrote what the examiners liked.
For example, Professor McGonagall likes some delicate gadgets, snuff bottles and other ornaments.
And the examiners of the Ministry of Magic, some like shiny things, some like larger crafts and so on.
Professor McGonagall looked at it for a while and was completely amazed:
"Sean, if you sell this book, I'm afraid you will be robbed crazy!"
Sean chuckled, wrote "Five Years O.W.L, Seven Years N.E.W.T" on the cover of the book, and then laughed silently.
"Copy more of these and send them to the students."
Professor McGonagall nodded:
"It's hard to say that we will be among the best this year! Sean, don't let this book leak out!"
Sean nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall, I'm still short of this money."
Then Professor McGonagall took the original and left to copy it.
For magic, copying a book is easy even without a printer.
After all, a magician can control thousands of writing brushes to write, and in general, he can copy enough textbooks for fifth- to seventh-grade students in two hours.
By the afternoon, the students all got their textbooks, and when they looked at the book title Sean below, the students couldn't help but fall into a messy state.
Sean is ready to publish, he's only in third grade, how about them? Still struggling with the wizard rank exam!
