Chapter 35 If there is no accident, then there will be an accident
Since changing the wand required going to Diagon Alley, Gretel accepted Ollivander's suggestion.
Regular communication with the wand can enhance the spirituality of the wand and make the wand fully compatible with itself.
From that day on, Gretel began the long journey of talking to the wand.
To be honest, even Ravenclaw, which is full of weirdos, rarely sees such strange situations.
A first-year little wizard would hold his wand and whisper when he had nothing to do.
If it weren't for Gretel's outstanding performance over the past few months, he would have been nicknamed "Wand Madman".
Even Terry, who was in the same dormitory, cast concerned glances from time to time.
He suspected that Grete was worried about the exam, and comforted Grete: "There is no one in the four colleges who studies better than you. There is no need for you to put so much pressure on yourself.
If that doesn't work, let's go to Madam Pomfrey's place and listen to the senior teacher saying that she is the best at comforting little wizards who are anxious about exams. "
Unfortunately, all he received was a blank stare from Gretel.
Communicating with the wand day and night, even when sleeping, Gretel would hold the wand and talk in his sleep.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gretel seemed to really feel the spirituality of the wand that Ollivander mentioned.
Although he still loses control from time to time when casting spells related to black magic, the frequency of occurrence is much less than before.
Even when casting other ordinary spells, Grete even felt like he could use his fingers with ease.
Even during the practical examination of the Charms class, Professor Flitwick praised Gretel's extremely smooth control of spells.
On the day the exams ended, all the houses, including Ravenclaw, were relieved of the burden of the exam week.
After a long absence, the eaglets of Ravenclaw no longer continued to curl up, and left the tower and library one by one, choosing to go to various places in Hogwarts to bask in the sun.
At the turn of spring and summer, the coldness and humidity of the Black Lake faded away. Under the sunshine, the water in the shallow water even felt warm to the touch.
It must be said that the scenery of Hogwarts is beautiful. From a distance, the Black Lake looks like a black natural crystal, sparkling in the sunlight.
When you get closer, you will find that the lake water in most places is almost transparent. The black color is because the lake water is too transparent and you can see the fat lake mud at the bottom of the lake.
Standing by the shallow water of the Black Lake, you can see a huge squid lying lazily in the water, basking in its belly that has never seen the sun all year round.
Some courageous senior wizards still naughtily formed a few water balls and threw them on the giant squid.
The giant squid didn't mind either. Only when the water balloons of the little wizards accidentally hit its eyes, it flicked its tentacles in dissatisfaction and spit out a bunch of bubbles from its mouth.
There are rumors that this giant squid may be Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Gryffindor, because it is said that Godric Gryffindor's Animagus is a squid.
There are also rumors that Godric was cursed by the Blood Curse. As the curse deepened, he slowly lost consciousness and eventually became an ordinary squid.
But after all, no one can prove that Hogwarts doesn't even ban wizards from making fun of it, so this story is just a story.
Across the shallow water, if you have a good view, you can see the mermaids on the bottom who are also celebrating the sunshine.
Although they are not as beautiful as the legendary mermaids, they do not have beautiful singing voices or graceful bodies.
However, their figures are really strong and strong, and their sense of strength as they shuttle through the water has a different kind of beauty.
Farther away in the sunny place, there are many people lying comfortably on the lawn, enjoying the warm sunshine like the giant squid.
Regardless of grade, everyone is enjoying the week before the results come out.

When Terry and Grete arrived, there was no good location on the edge of the Black Lake.
They had no choice but to go up the short slope in the distance.
"I seemed to see Harry Potter, Harry Potter of Gryffindor, the savior."
As soon as they reached the top of the short slope and found their position, Terry tugged on Gretel's clothes.
"It seems they haven't found a place to relax. Do you need me to say hello to them? Let's bask in the sun together."
He knew that these little lions had a good relationship with Gretel.
"No, it's not necessary."
Gretel glanced at Harry and they were heading towards Hagrid's hut.
"No need, we will dry it ourselves, they will find their own place."
Of course Gretel knew that the savior team was about to start their adventure.
Gretel was like an outsider, silently watching them run to Hagrid's hut.
He hurried back to the castle.
"Gryffindors are really full of energy, unlike us. After taking exams for so long, it feels like they have shed a layer of skin."
Obviously, Terry was also observing the Savior team and murmured.
Grete almost laughed, but luckily he held it back.
If he wasn't afraid of hitting Terry, he really wanted to tell him.
"No, in the entire Ravenclaws, you are the only one who feels like you have lost a layer of skin. You are just a lion wearing an eagle's skin."
Terry never worked hard on subjects that he was not interested in, which resulted in Terry inevitably scratching his head during the Potions exam, the Transfiguration exam, and the Astronomy exam.
But his paper grades shouldn't be too bad. Endorsement has always been the easiest thing for Ravenclaw.
Even for Terry, this is true.
In the practical examination of potions, because of Gretel's influence, although there were many mistakes, it was not a big problem. At least he could pass.
The practical exam for Transfiguration was not so good.
The snuff bottle he conjured up even had two beards, and Professor McGonagall deducted a lot of points.
There was also a mistake in the execution of the spell, and his pineapple fell and rolled out of the desk while tap dancing.
Fortunately, Dean Flitwick encouraged him and asked him to do it again. Normally, he shouldn't be given a too low score.
After all, these scores are meant to be shown to parents during the holidays.
If his grades are too bad, Terry probably won't have a very comfortable holiday.
Dean Flitwick would never do anything too cruel to a young wizard.
——
In this kind of weather, you can't stay in the sun for too long, otherwise you will feel dizzy.
If it weren't for the pressure brought by this exam week, there wouldn't be so many people coming out to bask in the sun. They want to escape from this stressful castle.
From the moment the exam ended, all the little wizards were waiting for the holiday with excitement and apprehension.
The excitement is that the holidays are finally here and they will have a months long break.
The worry is that if their results after one week are not satisfactory, their long vacation will become like going to jail.
If nothing else goes wrong, Grete, who has also let go of the stress of exam week, should have an unusually comfortable sleep.
Until the rising sun shines through the window and onto his face.
But unfortunately, at this time, some strange accidents often occur.
There is one more chapter, it will be a bit late, book friends, go to bed first and read it again tomorrow morning.
I wish you all sweet dreams and good night.

Grete: I make a wish that everything will be fine tonight, and that spring will still bloom tomorrow morning.
Harry (Ron, Hermione): I disagree.
Voldemort: I don't agree either.
