As June approached, the days at Hogwarts became increasingly hot and muggy.
The weather was sunny and cloudless, and everyone just wanted to go out for a walk, sit on the grass for a picnic, drink a big glass of iced pumpkin juice, play wizard cards with friends, or go to the lake to tease the giant squids lying in the warm shallow water to bask in the sun.
However, as the final exams approached, everyone was forced to give up the good time outdoors and had to stay in the castle all day, forcing themselves to review the exam content.
Even Fred and George were studying hard, fearing that they would fail the final exams and have a hard time during their summer vacation.
As a result, Albert, who never had to worry about final exams, became the object of envy and complaints from the three.
After entering the second week of June, the three of them didn't even have time to complain because the final exams officially began.
This final exam was a disaster for most Hogwarts students.
In fact, many students think that with so much happening this year, there may not be any final exams.
At least, there will be no more exams except for fifth and seventh grade students.
Unexpectedly, the attack was resolved by Harry Potter during the Easter holidays, and the exams had to continue.
As a result, some students who were not well prepared suffered.
This is even more directly reflected in the transformation exam.
Turn a guinea fowl into a ferret.
To be honest, the content of the Transfiguration exam is not difficult. Professor McGonagall has taught everyone how to turn guinea fowl into guinea pigs more than once in class, and the final exam is only slightly more difficult than this.
However, all the candidates who came out of the classroom sighed.
Most of the students' ferrets couldn't even move, and some of the obvious characteristics of guinea fowls were still left on their bodies. The few guinea fowls used for the exam were in trouble, and had to endure the torture brought by the students' various Transfiguration spells.
“It’s difficult.”
"I did terribly on the test."
After finishing the Transfiguration exam, Fred couldn't help but complain: "My ferret still has a noticeable comb on it. Professor McGonagall is very unhappy. I won't be surprised if she makes me retake the exam."
"George's got chicken feathers on that butt."
Lee Jordan thought he had done well in the exam and was in the mood to tease his two good friends.
"Shut up, your ferret can't even move."
"At least it was still a ferret."
"Wait until you are completely successful before you brag about it. By the way, where is Albert?" George said depressedly, changing the subject. "I saw him just now, how come he disappeared all of a sudden?"
"That guy is always so secretive. He must be hiding something from us." Fred lowered his voice and said, "I don't know what method he used, but he never missed any class."
"We'd better not delve into this further. It will only bring us trouble. I don't want to be cast a Forgetting Charm on me one day." Lee Jordan stopped Fred and George from digging deeper. "Let's go. We have a History of Magic exam this afternoon. We have to prepare for it."
On the way to the hall, I saw Albert talking to an OWLS examiner.
The three of them waited for a while, and only after the elderly examiner left did they walk up to greet Albert.
"Have you started asking about the content of Owls' exam?" Lee Jordan asked jokingly.
"No, we were just talking about some academic issues." Albert did not lie. He was talking to Professor Marchbank about the topic of the human-recovery spell.
In fact, Albert wanted to talk to the headmaster more, but Dumbledore didn't seem to spend much time on transfiguration research.
He suspected that the principal had begun investigating Tom's past and collecting more useful information.
"If we can get a lot of money next year, we'll give up the OWLS exam," Fred muttered.
"I think your family might not be very happy." Albert frowned and reminded, "They definitely hope that you can get good grades so that you can have more options in the future."
"Mom wants us to work in the Ministry of Magic, but it's like a prison for us." George knew very well what his family was thinking. He also didn't want to work in the Ministry of Magic. The boring office work was the most terrible torture for both of them.
"Working in the Ministry of Magic will bring me a stable salary." Lee Jordan could understand Fred and George's mother's thoughts very well: "In fact, my family also hopes that I can work in the Ministry of Magic."
"A stable income is very important for less wealthy wizard families, unless you are all very rich and don't have to worry about life." Albert recalled: "I have been to the United States. In that country, wizards who have just graduated from school would be proud to become employees of the Ministry of Magic."
"It's a country without dreams," Fred complained.
"This is the cruel reality that you have to face when you grow up. The American magic community monitors wizards very strictly, and you can go to jail if you are not careful." Albert tried to make the three understand the cruelty of reality.
“America must be a pretty bad country.”
"Anyway, I don't really want to set foot in that country again."
"We have never thought about working in the Ministry of Magic, but we need to find a reason to convince our families, which is not an easy thing to do." Fred glanced at Percy who was checking the test paper, curled his lips and asked, "Do you have any better ideas?"
"You just lack Galleons." Albert followed the twins' gaze and his eyes fell on Percy. He said lightly: "Now is an era that values money. As long as you can earn enough Galleons, your family will shut up, or at least not be dissatisfied with the future you choose."
"What you say is always so impressive." George didn't think he wouldn't be able to make money in the future, or rather, he never thought Albert couldn't make money, and they would definitely be able to make money if they cooperated with Albert to open a store.
At least, he felt that he and Fred must be freer and happier than anyone else in the family.
Percy apparently overheard the conversation between the two people, and in the evening, he took the initiative to find Albert.
"I don't know what you plan to do in the future, and I'm not worried about Fred and George's future!" Percy looked into Albert's eyes and said seriously, "But Fred and George are in a bad mood right now... You should know that the main task of a student is to study, get a good grade in the final exam, and have a higher starting point after graduation."
"It seems that you still care about them." Albert was a little surprised how Percy would fall out with his family later.
Blocked from rising by family members
So you just kicked it away
"After all, they are my brothers." Percy forced a smile.
"I know what you mean, but Fred and George are not you. Joining the Ministry of Magic may not be a good thing for them, and..." Albert glanced at a corner with a malicious smile on his face: "Besides, I think the Ministry of Magic will definitely collapse in the future."
"You think?"
Percy stared at Albert in amazement, wondering if he was crazy.
What does it mean that the Ministry of Magic will definitely fall
"Yes, I think so." Before Albert turned to leave, he turned back to Percy and said, "I'll give you a piece of advice. Before certain things happen, there's no need to rush to climb up. Your chance hasn't come yet. By the way, congratulations in advance on becoming the president of the Student Union."
"What's this?" Percy felt puzzled. He frowned and looked at Albert's departing back, wondering what the other person meant by his words.
Did he foresee something
No, it's unlikely.
Or was he actually trying to scare me
"The Ministry of Magic will surely fall?"
To Percy, this statement was simply incomprehensible.
How could the Ministry of Magic possibly fall
"No need to rush up before something happens." Percy murmured again: "Before something happens
Something
The fall of the Ministry of Magic
Percy thought of Albert's various astonishing reasonings during Easter.
He didn't need to fool himself.
Those words sounded like a prophecy and also like advice.
Could it be that the Ministry of Magic would really collapse
Percy suddenly began to doubt his life.
"You are hiding here and whispering."
As Albert turned the corner, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan appeared out of nowhere.
"Haven't you been hiding nearby and eavesdropping?" Albert knew that the three of them had been hiding nearby and using the Disillusionment Charm to eavesdrop on his conversation with Percy.
"That idiot Percy probably won't believe you!" Fred was not embarrassed. He knew Albert's ability. It was not surprising that he could see through the Disillusionment Charm on them. After all, he was the guy who could find the hidden chamber in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.
As for what Albert said about the Ministry of Magic collapsing, it is likely to come true.
Having said that, the Ministry of Magic is really unlucky to have received a prophecy of its collapse for no apparent reason.
I really have to thank you!
"What if Percy tells Mom about us?" George frowned. "You know, that's not a good thing."
"Let's just tell them about Percy having a girlfriend," Fred suggested.
"I think your family will be very happy." Albert couldn't help but interrupt, "After all, there are only a limited number of girls. If you don't take the initiative, you will end up being single if you can't find a suitable marriage partner."
The three of them suddenly felt that what Albert said made a lot of sense.
"Is this why you're looking for a girlfriend?" George joked with interest.
There is no doubt that Albert has picked up the best girl in the school.
At least, that's how it looks in the eyes of most boys.
"I think as long as your test scores are good, your family won't object." Lee Jordan expressed his opinion. Although his grades were not top-notch, his results were obviously satisfactory to his family.
"Then, when you open a shop and make a lot of Galleons, your family won't object to you doing these things." Albert continued, "So, start studying hard now!"
"No, we think we should work hard now... Wait!" Fred and George were dragged to the library by the two men to review the content of the next exam.
It turns out that even cramming at the last minute is still somewhat useful. Albert helped the three of them quickly review the key points of the upcoming exam, allowing them to make up for the knowledge they missed, which directly improved their grades by a large margin.
"I think if you help us review in advance, our grades can at least be improved a lot." George said excitedly after finishing the spell written test. Albert's review of the key points for them was basically all on the test, and the effect was really great.
Fortunately, the exam lasts for two weeks, otherwise it would be difficult for Albert to help the three of them improve their grades even if he wanted to.
