Chapter 326 Auror Examination Certificate and Dark Creatures
Just when night fell.
Lupine thought that he only needed to wash away the traces on Anton's wand, but he didn't expect all the members of the cabin to come to his office.
"you……"
Lupine looked at everyone in astonishment, frowned, and then looked at Anton, "Do you all need to clean the traces of the wand?"
Anton shrugged and spread his hands, "Maybe we all did something out of line."
George and Fred looked at each other and smiled. Neville and Hannah looked a little nervous, especially Neville. When Anton told him this guess today, he almost scared him to death.
He could imagine the look on his face if an Auror actually cast a flashback spell on his wand.
And his grandma, how disappointed in him will be because of this incident.
The Longbottom family has always prided themselves on being a righteous family, yet someone went to learn the Unforgivable Curse! And also used it to torture nineteen people to death!
When Neville thought of such a scene, his uncle's disappointed eyes, and his grandma's crying, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate.
As for Hannah, she was influenced by Anton, and she learned a lot of interesting, but in fact, black magic transformation spells, such as the 'Pulp Separation' that everyone in the hut likes to use.
The original form of this curse is 'separation of flesh and blood', which is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic. Although it is forbidden to use it on living creatures, at this moment when the wind is buzzing, no one is willing to reveal any clues to others.
"It's a bit troublesome." Lupine walked back and forth silently with his chest folded.
"Originally, I wanted Anton to use the tung oil soaking method. This method of wand maintenance will completely clean up the traces of the wand, and restore the wand to the state it was just received without being trained by a wizard."
"Well, just a little bit, it keeps the wand in better shape, but it's not popular because it also washes away some wizards' fit with the wand."
"To put it simply, this method will make the wand a bit awkward, and you need to re-develop the fit with the wand."
George and Fred looked at the inventor (based on the Marauder's Map) in amazement, and said in unison, "Professor Lupine, you know how to make wands."
Lupine smiled a little shyly, "A little bit."
"Sometimes in an emergency, we can use some magical wood and animal feathers to make a simple magic wand. Of course, it can only be used temporarily, and there is no way for you to exert your normal magical strength."
"Wow~"
All the little wizards stared at Lupine with adoring eyes.
Hannah's eyes lit up, "Maybe we can hide our wands and use other wands. Anton has a whole box over there."
"no."
Lupine shook his head, "Ollivander's Wand Shop will record the information of every wizard who buys a wand. If the Aurors want to check them, they will definitely check the records first."
"Can't see your registered wands during the inspection, what do you think they think?"
Anton frowned, "Then why can't everyone use the tung oil soaking method, just tell the Aurors that we maintained the wand together once."
Lupine still shook his head, "It's too obvious to do this collectively. The lower levels of the wizarding world are very accustomed to using this method to avoid inspection. Aurors have a complete knowledge inheritance, and doing so will only make Aurors feel suspicious of you and follow you thoroughly. "
Seeing Anton's disapproval, he couldn't help smiling.
"I know, I know, the Ministry of Magic's reputation has always been bad, it's always so stupid, it's always irrelevant, and every time a war breaks out, they always have nothing to show for praise."
Lupine turned serious, "But that's not why you look down on Aurors."
He sat down all five young wizards, poured everyone a cup of black tea, and patiently explained.
"You study in school, and when you reach the fifth grade, you need to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examinations (O.W.L.s for short)."
"After that, you can only continue to study for the final wizard exam class held by the professors only if you get 'good' and above in the O.W.L. exam."
"Some professors who are more strict, such as Professor Snape, may require to be 'excellent' before being admitted."
This Anton remembered that he had watched a short video introduction. In the original book, there were only 7 people in Harry's class who were studying for the Potions final exam.
In other words, only these seven people have the means to continue to take the Final Wizard Examination (N.E.W.T. for short).
It's just that if you have the qualifications for the exam, whether you can pass the exam is another matter.
The fifth grade takes the ordinary wizard level, and the seventh grade takes the final wizard level.
But don't think that ordinary level is easy.
Fred did not pass the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination (O.W.L.s) in Herbal Medicine. In the subject of Transfiguration, George failed the exam.
Their usual performance is so good, you can know how difficult the ordinary wizard level exam is.
Not to mention the more difficult final wizard exam.
Interestingly, Neville achieved 'Distinction' in Herbalism O.W.L.s.
In the original book, there are only four super-students who have obtained twelve ultimate wizard-level certificates in all subjects: Tom Riddle, Bill Weasley, Percy Weasley, and Barty Crouch Jr. .
No, just these four.
Weasley monopolized two, although these two did not show the same strength as the other two big shots.
This can more or less explain some of the problems of the Weasley pure-blood family.
"If you want to become an Auror, you need to take five final wizard level certificates, and the minimum result is 'good'."
Lupine put five fingers in front of several people.
"To put it simply, if any of you want to become an Auror, you must achieve at least five 'good' or even 'excellent' subjects in the fifth-year examination, and then pass the professors' study classes and pass the exam again in the seventh-year examination." good'."
Lupine withdrew his palm with a smile, and finally added, "After graduation, I will go through three years of rigorous training."
"To pass the Ministry of Magic exams in Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration and Charms with a requirement of 'very good at'."
"Then pass the assessment of the Auror Office, the three assessments of 'hiding and camouflage', 'stealth and tracking' and 'potion and antidote'."
"That's when you can become an Auror."
Lupine looked at everyone seriously, "In recent years, Aurors have not received any suitable new recruits at all. They would rather be short than excessive. Everyone inside is the elite of the elite!"
Anton and his friends were stunned.
Everyone smacked their lips and looked at each other in blank dismay. This requirement is too high and outrageous!
Anton finally paid attention to it. Originally, he only regarded Auror as an ordinary policeman or a thug of the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't expect it to be a special force.
this……
Why are they pulling their hips like this?
He recalled it carefully, oh, it seems that when he was pulling his hips, he met a super boss, so it's okay.
Due to the particularity of the wizarding world, there are always some cheating players. These people are more outrageous and powerful than the Aurors.
Anton pulled out his wand, looked at it and sighed, "Then what do we need to do?"
Lupine slightly started to tidy up the things on the table, "There is an interesting dark creature called Angara, they can devour the remaining magic power in the wand. We can use this characteristic to erase the records of your wands."
"Angnala?" Anton frowned as he listened to this strange name. If it is a transliteration, in ancient runes, this name means 'the hungry devourer', and it is used to describe the loss of magic power some kind of phenomenon.
George and Fred's eyes lit up, "Dark creature? Is it also a kind of magical animal?"
Lupine shook his head, "This is another kind of creature. The Boggart I used to teach you before is a dark creature. Dark creatures are not common, but they are particularly dangerous creatures, such as dementors. Like a three-headed dog."
"The three-headed dog is not a magical animal?" George said in surprise.
Fred was thoughtful, "No wonder we didn't find a three-headed dog in the list of danger levels for magical beasts."
Speaking of this, Anton remembered a spell that Rocky, the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, once taught, the Scarecrow Curse.
Voldemort once said that this is a spell improved from the ancient "Scarecrow" spell.
That thing should also belong to the dark creature.
Lupine stood up, "Come on, children, I will take you to the Forbidden Forest to find this dark creature, and teach you how to deal with it."
