My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 71, Section 071: End of Semester

Chapter 71. End of Semester (Recommendations Requested)

On the day of the final exam.

The first exam was for Charms. Professor Flitwick watched as each student went in and out of the classroom. Only after Lynn went in was he told the content of the exam.

Professor Flitwick stood before a pile of shattered glass shards and spoke to Lynn.

"Use the repair spell to fix this cup. I look forward to your performance, Belloc."

Lynn nodded and drew his wand. He wasn't nervous about the test; he had long since mastered the Restoration Charm, a spell that was extremely useful in daily life.

"Restored to its original state."

He waved his wand at the shards of glass.

The fragments immediately rose from the table as if they were soldiers receiving a general's order, automatically returning to their original positions before they shattered, and eventually forming a complete cup.

Professor Flitwick looked at Lynn's work with satisfaction and exclaimed in admiration.

"Perfect, a wonderful healing spell, I'll give you the highest score, Belloc."

"Thank you, Professor." Lynn bowed in gratitude and left the classroom.

Subsequent Potions exams were no problem at all. Not only was Snape the headmaster of Lynn's own house, and the two worked together seamlessly in Potions class. The fact that Lynn had been handling Snape's potion-making materials since Raphael's incident was enough to earn him a big O on his report card. (His solitary confinement was in Snape's office.)

And then there's the History of Magic. Although Professor Binns isn't a great lecturer, these kinds of exams that are purely based on memorizing textbooks are a piece of cake for Lynn.

In the afternoon, Professor McGonagall was in charge of proctoring two exams. Since Professor Fawkes had been lying in St. Mungo's Hospital for the remaining three months of the semester, Professor McGonagall had been teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for the rest of the semester, and naturally, she was also in charge of proctoring the exams.

For most young wizards, the Transfiguration exam is the hardest one to get a good grade on during the year's final exams.

This is not only because Transfiguration is a more difficult magic to master, but also because Professor McGonagall is much stricter than the professors of other courses.

Before the exam even started, Professor McGonagall looked at Lynn and said, "Bellock, you've given me a lot of trouble this year."

She didn't sound blaming; in fact, saying something like that at this moment sounded more like teasing.

Lynn gave an awkward smile.

"I'm young and don't know any better. I've caused you a lot of trouble this year. Please be more understanding in the future."

Professor McGonagall certainly didn't mean to make things difficult for him. She pointed to a beetle on the table and told Lynn about the test content for the Transfiguration class.

"Turn it into a button; the more exquisite the button, the higher your score will be."

Such transformation magic was naturally beyond Lynn's capabilities; the buttons he conjured were not only exquisitely designed, but their patterns were also clearly visible.

His performance far surpassed that of his peers, so it was only natural that Professor McGonagall gave him the highest score.

After Lynn finished his Transfiguration exam, he didn't leave immediately but instead asked Professor McGonagall some questions about the Disguised Magus.

"Professor, while I was looking at advanced Transfiguration spells in the library, I discovered a type of Transfiguration magic called Animagus. This magic includes a type called the Innate Animagus, also known as the Disguise Animagus. I'm very interested in it. Can it be learned later in life?"

Lynn didn't ask what she wanted to know directly, as that would have been too obvious.

As a professor, Professor McGonagall was naturally pleased that Lynn still had such a great interest in Transfiguration after the exam.

"No, Animagus is a type of transformation that any talented wizard can learn, but Disguise Magus is different. You either have it or you don't. You can't learn it by studying it later in life."

"So, besides changing their appearance, can the Disguise Magus also transform into animals?" Lynn didn't dare to try this experiment himself, fearing irreversible consequences.

"No," Professor McGonagall denied. "The Disguise Magus can only transform within the scope of 'humans.' If it were to forcibly transform into an animal, there would be very serious consequences."

Lynn felt a little scared, but thankfully he was too timid to go and experiment.

"Can someone born with the ability to transform into a Disguise Magus also learn to transform into an Animagus?" Lynn looked at Professor McGonagall expectantly. Of course, he wouldn't be satisfied with just one Disguise Magus. Don't adults want them all?

This was a tricky question, and Professor McGonagall shook her head after thinking for a moment.

"There is no precedent for this. The probability of a Disguise Magus appearing is too small. In addition, it is extremely difficult for Animagus to learn this skill later in life. So I have never heard of anyone being able to master both of these Transfiguration techniques at the same time."

Lynn said goodbye to Professor McGonagall with some disappointment. The next exam was the Defense Against the Dark Arts, and they would see each other again soon.

There's not much to say about the exams after that; they weren't difficult for Lynn at all.

After all the exams were over, Hogwarts entered into a period of revelry for the young wizards.

Those who get good grades should take this week to relax.

Those with poor grades can also take this opportunity to indulge themselves.

Even Lynn, having nothing else to do, started playing wizard chess with Cedric and Ian by the Black Lake.

Ian and Cedric were both masters of Wizard Chess, while Lynn had little experience with chess and was a complete novice. He was utterly defeated by the two of them.

In the end, the black and white pieces all started making excuses and didn't want Lynn to command them anymore, which made Lynn so angry that he almost smashed them to pieces.

When the results came out, unsurprisingly, Lynn received all O's in all his courses. He was the only first-year wizard to get all O's, which made Snape proud. In addition, Slytherin won the House Cup again this year, which made him even more assertive in front of the other professors.

Not only that, but the system also gave him a surprise after the results came out.
