HP North Star's Radiance

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating!" Daphne poked Millison's forehead in exasperation. "You never seem to care about anything!"

After deciding to break with her mother, Milison became the carefree Milison again, eating, drinking, and living a carefree life.

After lunch came the practical exam, and Praris faced Professor Machiban, the head of the examination board in charge of the exam.

She took the exam in the same class as Susan Burns, Justin Finley, and Michael Corner.

The first part of her assessment was a restoration spell taught in the first year, which required her to restore a broken wine glass to its original state.

The second one is the Freeze Charm taught in the second year. Professor Machiban releases a mouse and asks Praris to freeze the mouse in motion.

The third one is a summoning spell taught in fourth grade. She first showed Praris a mushroom, then took it away, and then asked Praris to summon the mushroom back.

She was lucky; the exam only covered spells from fourth grade and earlier, so it wasn't too difficult. Therefore, the difficulty lay more in other aspects, such as the fact that the object to be frozen was movable.

Prarese was smart enough to know that once the mouse ran out, it would likely be out of sight, greatly increasing the chances of failure.

So, as soon as Professor Machiban let go, before the mouse could even escape the desk, Prareus froze it, denying it the chance to run free.

Professor Marchban was very satisfied with her reaction speed and skill level, nodding frequently.

Praris didn't dare say a word after leaving the exam room, because Daphne was silently squatting by the foyer.

“Her Happiness Charm made people cry,” Pansy said in a breathy voice. “It took her three tries to succeed, and the person taking the test next to her was Hermione Granger.”

Just imagining the scene makes the contrast incredibly stark. Hermione finished her exam in a flash, while Daphne messed up the Happiness Charm.

Daphne is an extreme pureblood believer, while Hermione Granger is a notorious Muggle witch.

Praris didn't know what to do, so she squatted down and hugged her, saying, "I know you must be feeling really bad right now. Cry, we're all hiding you, no one else will see."

Daphne has prepared for so long, it's understandable that she'll be upset if she fails the exam; no amount of comforting words will help.

Prarese could only comfort her in her sorrow, preventing her vulnerability from being shown to others.

Soon, Praris felt a wet sensation on her chest; it was Daphne's tears.

Chapter 133 Post-Exam Dispute

Tuesday is for Transfiguration, Wednesday for Herbalism, Thursday for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Friday morning for Ancient Runes, and afternoon for Muggle Studies.

The two practical examiners were already quite familiar with Praris; good students always stand out.

Her Transfiguration skills were quite good; she treated herbs like her own children; she perfectly demonstrated all the breaking and defense spells…

Ancient Rune theory and practice were unified; the content studied was Rune translation, and the practice was also Rune translation, so it only took up one morning.

On the day of the ancient runic exam, she had to remove the pendant Draco had given her to avoid being accused of cheating.

Quite coincidentally, she did indeed get the word "Feoh" in the test. This word is one of the characters on the pendant; it is the ancient runic word for "cow," representing "wealth and good fortune."

The week's exams were over, but the weekend didn't give the girls any time to relax, because the exam next Monday was Potions.

The test takers have entered a rather absurd metaphysical phase, using various methods to predict their exam results and what might be on the exam next week.

It is said that Professor McGonagall said to the Gryffindor students with disappointment, "If you were as enthusiastic in class as you are now when you are doing divination, you would not have any worries about whether you will pass or not, and you would not have any hope in the vague divination."

Prarese has a test on Tuesday in her Magical Creatures Conservation class, which requires her to deal with most animals based solely on her knowledge without having actually encountered them.

"You get nervous too?" Milison asked, as if he had seen something unusual.

Praris hadn't expected Milison to trust her abilities so much, so she had to explain, "If you've only had one real lesson before you're going to play Quidditch, you'll be just as nervous as I am."

A person's ability is their foundation. Without a solid foundation of practical experience, even a gifted and well-read person like Praris would feel insecure.

On Tuesday, Praris faced his first practical test in a clearing near the Forbidden Forest. His task was to pluck a leaf from a tree guarded by the Bowtruckle and hand it to the examiner.

Next to the examiner was a wooden box containing various herbs and insects.

Bowtruckles are gentle by nature. But if anyone offends them or the tree they guard, the bowtruckle will leap down and gouge out the intruder's eyes.

If a wizard gives a Bowtruckle a tuft of earthworm, the Bowtruckle will be kept in peace for a long time, and the wizard can then take the opportunity to take leaves or branches from the tree.

Ground beetles are nocturnal, preferring shade and dampness to light, and hiding in loose, fertile, and moist soil during the day.

It was afternoon, and Praris found a few beetles in a small patch of damp mud.

Praris dislikes cockroaches, especially flying ones! Although the UK is at a high latitude, cockroaches do exist, especially in areas with poor sanitation.

The monastery had excellent hygiene conditions, although this was achieved through the labor of many young girls.

However, the monastery would regularly visit poor believers. On one occasion, when they knocked on the door of a believer's house, several American cockroaches rushed out, which became a psychological trauma for young Praris.

The ground beetle and the cockroach are closely related. The ground beetle's legs look very much like the cockroach's legs, and male ground beetles can even fly!

Among the many beetles, she found a wingless female. With trembling hands, she carefully held it and presented it to a hummus guarding the tree.

Fortunately, the ground beetle will feign death when touched and will not move around.

Praris held his breath and quickly gifted the female ground beetle to the Bowtruckle, making it truly dead.

While the hunchbacked girl was enjoying the turtle, she quickly plucked a whole leaf from the tree and handed it to the examiner.

The moment she sent the cockroach away, she breathed a huge sigh of relief and wondered why cockroaches, such as those from the Blattidae and Trionychidae families, existed in the world!

The second challenge is to find a little devil in a cage of sprites. The little devil is darker in color and doesn't fly as well as the sprites, but if you're not careful, it's easy to confuse the two.

The third is to tie knots in the feet of the rainbow fish. The rainbow fish will nibble at the swimmers' feet and clothes, and the mermaids consider them a menace.

Finally, it's time to feed the Pomlock hay. Pomlocks are shy by nature and exist to protect horses. They are afraid of humans, so feeding them requires a lot of patience and politeness.

Praris, who had mastered the theory, relied solely on theory, instinct, and extremely fast reaction speed to cope with all of this. After four rounds of tests, he was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

“My test was to distinguish between a hedgehog and a prickly ...

"Are you sure it's not a hedgehog that's pricking you?" Daphne stabbed Milison hard in the heart.

"You wicked bastard!" Milison's eyes widened. "I'm sure! Only the thorny guy's thorns have magic! I've been pricked, how could I not feel the magic!"

The other three burst into laughter.

Pansy asked Praris, "What about you? I was worried about you the whole time during the exam!"

Praris only attended one class! Defeating magical creatures might not be difficult for her, but getting her to interact with them is something Pansy has no idea about.

Praris gripped the pendant hanging around his neck and said heavily, "Theoretically, there shouldn't be any major problems."

As for the actual situation? She couldn't be sure if every step was correct.

The habits of magical creatures cannot be fully described in books, and they change even more when faced with different environments.

Many magizoologists travel the world, putting their theoretical knowledge into practice and even raising some magical animals themselves.

These magizoologists are often closely monitored by the Ministry of Magic to prevent them from keeping dangerous creatures that are not permitted to be kept.

This time it was Pansy's turn to comfort her: "The exams are over, that's all for now! Tomorrow we have astronomy and divination exams!"

Wednesday morning's exam is on astronomy theory, afternoon's exam is on divination, and evening's exam is on astronomy practice. Thursday morning's exam is on arithmetic divination, and afternoon's exam is on the history of magic.

In fact, very few people choose to take both divination and arithmetic divination at the same time, so most people don't have an exam on Thursday morning.

Only someone like Praris, who takes two courses at the same time, would take the other exam on Thursday morning.

Even the most talented person cannot confidently claim success in a divination exam. After all, there's an element of linguistic skill involved.

Professor Machiban was somewhat surprised when she saw Praris for the second time.

After all, divination requires spirituality and talent, while numerological divination has many rational requirements. People who usually choose divination courses don't consider numerological divination!

Praris smiled politely at her: "I apologize for taking up your time, Professor. I am eager to learn more and more comprehensively."

Professor Marchban nodded understandingly: "Talented wizards always have different standards for themselves."

During her second divination of Professor Machiban, she gained a deeper understanding of the woman.

She may have a long lifespan; she pursues and reveres wisdom; she possesses a strong sense of justice and is willing to sacrifice for it, but she has no regrets…

Prarees suddenly remembered hearing Professor Marchban's name somewhere before—she was Grihilda Markbans, who had resigned from Wizengamor in support of Dumbledore and was accused of involvement with the goblin rebellion.

This isn't cheating! Praris thought.

She has come to terms with her abilities and accept her uniqueness.

Only Voldemort and his henchmen would think Harry's natural resistance to his dark magic was cheating. And only they would hate Dumbledore's masterful planning.

If neither Potter nor Dumbledore felt the need to apologize, then she could accept that she possessed some intelligence, even if she didn't think she used it very well.

In any case, practically speaking, the part of Praris's divination results that includes the past is indeed unusually accurate.

As for the future... Praris himself couldn't say for sure, as divination of the future can never be guaranteed to be accurate.

Wednesday night was the astronomy exam, and some disturbances occurred during the exam.

But Prader's seat was at the other end, and she had no idea what was happening outside the Gryffindor window. Going to the Astronomy Tower was like coming home for her, and the exams went smoothly.

It wasn't until after the exam that she learned that Umbridge had raided Hagrid's place at night, intending to drive him away.

Professor McGonagall arrived just in time, intending to defend Hagrid in the same way she had defended Professor Trelawney. During the altercation, the esteemed professor was struck by magic.

Praris couldn't sleep at night.

This was probably a thought that a Slytherin shouldn't have, and she was a little worried about Professor McGonagall.

Despite being the head of Slytherin's arch-rival House, this woman showed fair consideration to Praris.

One night during her third year, Professor McGonagall rushed to rescue Professor Snape because of a dream she had. At Christmas, she only asked Prader a few simple questions before escorting her to the Headmaster's office.

Professor McGonagall was also Sylvia's professor. Because of Sylvia's mistake, she hugged Praris and tried her best to comfort her.

The next morning, before the arithmetic divination exam began, Prarese followed his heart and asked Baron to take good care of Professor McGonagall.

The little boy, Barron, puffed out his chest and patted it earnestly: "Of course! Miss Prince, it's my duty!"

Several months of practice changed him. He no longer seemed shy, his eyes sparkled with longing for the career of a therapist, and he was proud of it.

“I believe you will become a qualified therapist.” Prarese felt a sense of pride watching Baron grow. She had also contributed to the little boy’s development.

The last exam was the history of magic, a purely theoretical exam that took her almost no effort.

After the exam, Pansy said somewhat bewilderedly, "I thought I would be very excited, but I feel incredibly calm inside."

It feels just like finishing the final exams every year, without any difference whatsoever.

“Because it’s just a regular exam,” Prarees told her. “If you look at it over a lifetime, it’s not much different from any other exam.”

No sooner had Praris finished speaking than Millison burst out of the exam room like a bull, shouting to them, "I'm so happy! The exam is finally over! I want to eat a whole sheep! I want a whole bag of honey candies! A whole bag of chocolates!"
