Chapter 637 The Excellent Miss Granger

"Oh, Miss Granger, I knew you would come over..."

At the front edge of the auditorium, Maca and Mrs. Marchban sat side by side, and both of them nodded slightly at Hermione who hurried over after finishing the normal test.

"We have seen what you did just now. Every question was completed neatly," Ms. Marchban followed closely, "Of course, the difficulty of the additional questions must be more difficult than those of the content. Are you ready?"

Hermione, who was standing at the table with her wand in her hand, seemed a little nervous. After all, after a few days of contact, everyone said that this old lady of Marchban was not easy to get along with, which made her feel a little uneasy in her heart who had always wanted to get a good score.

However, it is always good to have an acquaintance in front of her, and Maca's presence immediately made her relax a lot.

"M...uh, Professor McLean, are you really qualified to be an examiner?" Hermione, who had been holding back her doubts for a long time, couldn't help asking in front of Mrs. Marchban, but her voice was Subconsciously lowered it a bit, "As far as I know, professors who haven't registered with the Education Department can't..."

"Oh, Hermione. Your knowledge reserve has always been amazing," Maca said with a smile, "It's like, you know everything... I think you probably have already cleared up the process of obtaining the qualifications of examiners Is it clear?"

"No, I don't know everything, I only know what I know."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Maca's little teasing, she argued first, and then stared at Maca stubbornly, trying to get a reasonable answer.

"Oh, alright, alright..." Maca spread her hands and said, "I'm only responsible for writing the questions. As for judging whether you can get an additional score, that's the job of the Maqi class professor next to me. You Even if you can't trust me, you can't trust the respected Professor March, right?"

"I, I can't believe you..." Hermione pursed her lips before she said this, and took back the content in her stomach, "Okay, I understand! Then, Professor McLean, please Come up with a question!"

When Maca heard this, she also put away the smile on her face, making herself somewhat more serious.

"Since the test is about the practical content of Defense Against the Dark Arts, let's get serious about it!" He said calmly, "Remember, what you are about to face is real. Protect yourself."

Before the words were finished, a terrible howl sounded in the auditorium, and all the students and examiners who were taking the exam turned around in surprise.

And almost at the same time as the howling sounded, the enchanted ceiling on the top of the auditorium turned from blue sky and white clouds into night in an instant, and a particularly eye-catching full moon sprinkled endless silver. Light.

The sound is coming from behind, and the distance is very close! Hermione could even feel a heavy breath passing over the back of her head, causing goose bumps on the skin on the back of her neck.

She didn't have time to think about it, and she jumped out to the side as soon as she got short.

The next moment, a strong wind passed by where she was originally, and even the table in front of Maka was smashed into pieces by a strong force.

It wasn't until this moment that Hermione, who was frantically getting up on the floor, had the time to turn around to confirm the situation. Seeing this, she was shocked immediately.

"Roar—"

The dog-like head, the gray fur covering the whole body, the muscular anti-joint lower limbs, and the sharp claws and teeth that gleamed coldly in the moonlight all revealed the other party's identity.

"Werewolves!"

Hermione only had time to let out a low cry, and had to find a gap to dodge again because of another pounce from the opponent. When she desperately rolled and dodged to the side, the stone chips splashed and screamed again and again.

"This...isn't this too dangerous?" Even the old lady of the March class next to Maca couldn't help asking in a low voice, "This kind of test is more than enough for Auror's induction training?"

"Professor, don't worry,

In fact, my request is not high..."

Just as Maca answered softly, the big guy half as tall as Hermione suddenly raised his head, and let out another shrill howl towards the full moon above his head.

Hermione, who gained some room to maneuver again, stopped her continuous dodging, and was turning around to try whether the Impediment Charm would work, but she froze the moment she stretched out her wand.

"Werewolves...full moon..."

She raised her head subconsciously, and when she saw the full moon, several paragraphs of information about werewolves in the book immediately flashed through her mind.

Yes, she remembered!

Werewolves will transform on the day of the full moon, which is naturally common knowledge in the wizarding world and the Muggle world; but if they are allowed to continue to be under the full moon after transforming, the moonlight will continue to provide them with power. increase on.

So? Isn't it obvious what she should do?

Almost in the blink of an eye, Hermione realized that she would have to cast a spell to block out the moonlight, something she was supposed to do before trying to deal with werewolves.

Not far away, Maca watched quietly as Hermione suddenly raised her wand, and the tip of the wand pointed straight at the ceiling of the auditorium. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but secretly cheer for Hermione.

These "additional questions" are obviously beyond the scope of the O.W.Ls exam. Of course, Maca understands this. But to be honest, he did it with some selfish motives.

There is no doubt that Hermione is a little witch with high enough talent and ability. What's even more commendable is that her daily hard work is also far beyond ordinary people. If there is a chance, Maca will naturally be willing to help her, and let everyone know how strong she is.

For Hermione, this is an excellent time to prove herself.

"Don't panic, take a good look at your opponent." Maca couldn't say this clearly, so he could only whisper it in his heart, hoping that Hermione would notice it by himself.

At this moment, Hermione, who was holding her wand high, glanced at the "werewolf" habitually. Originally, she just wanted to pay attention to whether the other party would rush over again while she was casting the spell, but it was this glance that made her notice some facts that she hadn't discovered before!

In fact, Hermione, like Harry, is able to respond appropriately when facing enemies. The reason why she is slightly less good at actual combat than Harry is because of her way of thinking.

Hermione, who is backed by ample knowledge reserves, often misses the best time to fight because she is too obsessed with perfecting the countermeasures in short and hasty actual battles. But this small flaw does not conceal her excellence.

Just like at this moment, her inadvertent glance made her see the green eyes of the "werewolf".

"Blazing flames!"

"Papa papa—"

Seeing that Hermione suddenly gave up the action of blocking the moonlight, facing the big guy who was about to pounce again, and instead cast a strong fire spell, Macadam even raised his hands and puffed up. Come on.

With his sudden applause, the seemingly ferocious "werewolf" suddenly stopped his forward jumping, and "frozen" in place as if petrified. The large flames released by Hermione brushed over his upper body, but there was no burning phenomenon, and all of them dissipated in the blink of an eye.

This sudden scene of a fierce beast attack really shocked everyone. At this moment, the eyes in the auditorium naturally focused on Maca who was still applauding.

"Excellent insight!" He said to Hermione who was not far away, her chest was still panting due to tension, "Miss Granger, you did a great job! You recognized it at the last moment—yes Yes, it's not a werewolf, but a wetland werewolf that lives in the wetlands of Louisiana, USA!"

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the big guy who was frozen in place, and even put his hand on its thick and strong shoulder in a funny way.

"We should know that a werewolf and a wetland werewolf are not the same creature—not at all," he said, "but they are so similar in appearance that the transformed werewolf and wetland werewolf are almost the same! Only the pupils The color and part of the nape of the neck is what separates them correctly."

"However, the approach to dealing with them is quite different, and the Werewolf is terrified of fire, which is a very important point! Yes, you noticed that its pupils are green, not black - you really did a good job !"

After finishing speaking, Maca turned her head and nodded to Madam Maqiban.

"Excellent actual combat drill, I dare say, even graduates can't do better than you, Miss Granger!" The old lady of March class also applauded lightly, "Congratulations, you have won I will leave my excellent evaluation of you in your file if you don't get the score of the additional questions!"

While Ms. Marchban was speaking, Maca repaired some damage nearby. Then, he patted the back of the Werewolf who was fixed in place, and immediately saw that big guy disintegrated into an ordinary armchair without a sound.

"Miss Granger," he smiled at Hermione, finding it strange to address her that way, "your exams are over... well, it seems that there are other people who want to come here and try the extra questions?"

Maca was talking, and while his eyes were shifting, he slowly patrolled half a circle in this huge auditorium. However, he regretted to find that many students secretly turned their faces away where he could see them, obviously they still had lingering fears about the big commotion just now.

"Okay!" he shrugged. "I think... our Mr. Potter would be interested, wouldn't he?"

"Oh, maybe?" Hermione blinked, and suddenly gave Maca a blank look, "Then, I'm going out first...'Dear Professor McLean'!"
