As it was the O.W.L. year, there was an extra load of assignments for the fifth-year students, evident from the first week of school.

2023-11-30 21:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostFortune tellers always liked to predict the end of the world as their last prophecy, but until now, the end had never come.
Such actions that undermined their credibility didn’t tarnish the reputation of these Farseers because by the time their predictions were verified, several hundred or even thousand years had passed. People, in fact,...
2023-11-30 21:18:13 +0000 UTC View Post“I was just wondering, Professor, whether you received my note telling you of the date and time of your inspection..."
“Obviously I received it, or I would have asked you what you are doing in my classroom,” said Professor McGonagall curtly.
Many of the students exchanged looks of glee. This was Professor McGonagall.

2023-11-30 21:18:11 +0000 UTC View PostEvan didn’t have a deep understanding of witchcraft, but he had done some related research before.
Regarding that quill, the function of witchcraft above was to transform somebody's blood and use it as ink, torturing him to the extreme. Although he was unfamiliar with witchcraft, he knew a few similar Dark magic. As long as he studied ca...
2023-11-30 21:18:08 +0000 UTC View PostThey had expected to have to comb The Daily Prophet carefully next morning to find the article Percy had mentioned last night in his letter.
However, the departing delivery owl had barely cleared the top of the milk jug when Hermione let out a huge gasp.
She flattened the newspaper to reveal a large photograph of Dolore...
2023-11-30 21:18:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe content of Percy's letter went on, inexplicably exasperating.
As your older brother, I am bound to give you some advice. Seriously, Ron, you do not want to be tarred with the same brush as Mason and Potter, it could be very damaging to your future prospects, and I am talking here about life after school too.
As you m...
2023-11-30 21:18:03 +0000 UTC View PostIn the dim and narrow corridor, there were only Evan and Harry, their footsteps echoing through the hallway.
"Evan, did we act too impulsively?" Harry expressed his concern.
He had just been thinking about ignoring everything and having a showdown with Umbridge, but now that Evan had actually done it, and after he calmed down, he had...
2023-11-30 20:47:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe atmosphere in the room was terribly weird, it seemed that the angrier Evan and Harry were, the happier Umbridge was.
"Mr. Mason, I have always wanted to chat with you. To be frank and honest, we are all smart people, and you should recognize the current situation..."
"Are you referring to Hogwarts or the Wizarding World?" Evan in...
2023-11-30 20:47:28 +0000 UTC View Post"Good evening, Mr. Potter."
Harry started and looked around. He had not noticed her at first because she was wearing a luridly flowered set of robes that blended only too well with the tablecloth on the desk behind her.
"I, uh, good evening, Professor Umbridge," Harry said stiffly.
“Well, sit down,” she said with her habitu...
2023-11-30 20:46:52 +0000 UTC View PostHarry left the Great Hall with his schoolbag on his back and walked up the marble staircase two steps at a time.
The indescribable anger that had just flared so unexpectedly still blazed inside him.
The vision of Evan, Ron, and Hermione's shocked faces afforded him a sense of deep satisfaction.
As he gradually calmed down, he f...
2023-11-30 19:48:53 +0000 UTC View PostHermione walked up to Fred and George aggressively, and Evan followed her with a wry smile.
The effect of these Fainting Fancies was much stronger than before. What on earth had the two of them put in them?
In fact, Evan had provided the original formula, and Fred and George used it as a basis to develop many new variations.

2023-11-30 19:47:23 +0000 UTC View Post"Seriously, what's going on with him?" said Evan in surprise, sitting next to Hermione.
"Haven't you heard about what happened in our Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon? I thought the whole school knew by now."
Thanks to Peeves, the news about Harry's shouting match with Umbridge seemed to have traveled exceptionally ...
2023-11-30 19:46:15 +0000 UTC View Post"Sit down, Mr. Potter!" said Professor Umbridge coldly.
Breathing heavily, Harry didn't listen to her, and looked at Umbridge fiercely.
“Fine; now, let me make a few things quite plain."
Professor Umbridge stood up and leaned toward them, her stubby-fingered hands splayed on her desk.
"I know what you’re trying to say...
2023-11-30 19:45:21 +0000 UTC View Post"But, Professor, surely the whole point of Defense Against the Dark Arts is to practice defensive spells." Hermione interrupted her.
"Please never interrupt when I speak in the future. And, speaking about the whole point of Defense Against the Dark Arts, are you a Ministry-trained educational expert, Miss Granger?" asked Professor Umbridge...
2023-11-30 19:44:07 +0000 UTC View Post"Dull to the extreme; reading the whole morning," said Colin with a sigh. "This is the most boring course I’ve ever taken. No talking, no sleeping, no fidgeting, not even leaning on the desk. We had to sit upright the whole morning, staring blankly at Defensive Magical Theory. Honestly, I didn't absorb a single word."
"Blimey, h...
2023-11-22 10:42:51 +0000 UTC View Post“After this year, of course, many of you will cease studying with me,” Snape went on. “I take only the very best into my N.E.W.T. Potions class, which means that some of us will certainly be saying goodbye."
His eyes rested on Harry and his lip curled. Harry glared back, feeling a grim pleasure at the idea that he would be able to gi...
2023-11-22 10:41:30 +0000 UTC View PostUmbridge looked around from her desk, observing them all.
"I believe you are all aware that there are many problems with this course. You will be pleased to know, however, that these problems are now to be rectified. We will be following a carefully structured, theory-centered, Ministry approved course of defensive magic this year. Copy do...

“Not really,” said Ron slowly, looking slightly sheepish. “Except … well …”
"What?" Harry urged, everyone looking at him.
“Well, it would be cool to be an Auror,” said Ron in an offhand voice.

This exam had a crucial impact on future employment and could even determine a student's destiny to some extent. To pass the exam, fifth-year students must endure a year that felt like a nightmare.
The intense academic pressure and the fear brought about by the exam were...
2023-11-21 07:13:03 +0000 UTC View Post"Really? Have you discussed it already?" Hermione said casually. Like Evan, she was not particularly interested in Quidditch. "I may not have noticed, but, well, Wood leaving will have a significant impact on the team, right?"
"I suppose so," said Harry, picking up a piece of bread. "He was an excellent Keeper."
“Still, it won’t ...
2023-11-20 05:26:50 +0000 UTC View Post"Because of fear!" Evan whispered, "You see, acceptance is a form of courage, especially when admitting such unfathomable things exist."
At that moment, they walked down a flight of stairs lined with portraits of old witches and wizards, all of whom ignored them, being engrossed in their own conversation.

2023-11-20 05:26:48 +0000 UTC View PostGryffindor was facing internal division, and distrust was building up.
It was really bad enough for first-years to see this scene. In the past few years, Gryffindor had been the most united, glorious and belonging House, and had achieved impressive results.
But now, whether Evan wanted to admit it or not, they were on the verge of in...
2023-11-20 05:26:47 +0000 UTC View PostSeamus’s reasons seemed quite substantial. His mother believed the articles in the Daily Prophet and thought that Dumbledore was an old fool, and Evan and Harry were liars in an uproar, and Voldemort could never be coming back, it was like Arabian Nights.
Therefore, she did not intend to send Seamus to Hogwarts, and even wa...
2023-11-20 05:26:46 +0000 UTC View Post"Head Boy Evan, is this the Gryffindor Tower?" Euan Abercrombie asked, looking around curiously.
Along the way, he felt like he didn't have enough eyes. Hogwarts Castle was really big, and there were all kinds of weird things and magic in it, which were all new to him, as well as to the other first-years.
They gathered around Evan, a...
2023-11-13 20:53:40 +0000 UTC View Post"What are you going to do?" Hermione asked cautiously, looking at his wand.
"Very simple, don't let other people get close to you, and you don't have to worry about pushing," said Evan, sparks appearing at the tip of his wand. "It’s very necessary to protect the first years. These guys should realize this, and at least be polite."

2023-11-08 12:03:20 +0000 UTC View PostProfessor Umbridge paused here and made a little bow to her fellow staff members, none of whom bowed back.
Professor McGonagall’s dark eyebrows had contracted so that she looked positively hawklike.
As Umbridge turned to continue her speech, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout exchanged a significant glance.

2023-11-08 12:03:18 +0000 UTC View PostHarry was too used to their bickering to bother trying to reconcile them.
He felt it was a better use of his time to eat his way steadily through his steak-and-kidney pie, then a large plateful of his favorite treacle tart.
Yes, Harry and Ron didn’t care, but Evan had to take the responsibility of calming Hermione's anger.
