What is an exam?
Seeing Hermione's surprised expression, Harry showed a stunned expression on his face.
Although he has been at Hogwarts for almost three years, he still has many magic common sense unclear.
He isn't like Ron, who has been immersed in it since he was a child, nor is he like Hermione, who loves learning and reading.
"The exam is only taken by Seventh Year witches, Percy has been preparing for it recently."
He said this exam was the moment for witches to change their fate, whether they could enter the Ministry of Magic depended entirely on this exam.”
"But George is only in second year, why does he need to take an exam meant for seventh-year wizards?"
Harry turned to look at George, Ron did the same, and Hermione was almost touching her face.
George closed the book and explained:
"Because I've applied to Dumbledore for early graduation, and Dumbledore has agreed to it."
"Early graduation??！！！！！！"
This time, the three of them screamed out in surprise at the same time, making all the other witches in the library turn their curious heads.
George nodded:
"Yes, the learning in the school has no help for me, I want to finish early and go to the Ministry of Magic to gain experience, in order to better improve myself."
Hearing George's explanation, Harry and the others were stunned for a while before they finally realized it.
They looked at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.
If other witches said that, they would certainly think that the other party was too arrogant, saying that the learning in Hogwarts has no help for themselves.
But this person is George, the George who outshined all geniuses, the George who even Dumbledore agreed to let participate in the. exam early.
"Will we never see you again?"
Hermione's face showed a touch of unwillingness.
She felt as if the little flame of love in her heart was going to be extinguished.
"No, I mean, I'm just graduating, not dying. We can still get together when you guys are on vacation."
George said a few words of comfort casually.
If he gets a job in the Ministry of Magic, he might represent the Ministry to come to Hogwarts next year for the Fire Cup.
"By the way, have you noticed any sign of Remus Lupin lately?"
"No, this bloody guy, I don't know where he's hiding!"
Hearing this, Harry's face immediately showed a look of anger.
Since he learned that it was Remus Lupin who betrayed his parents, leading to their murder and leaving him an orphan, Harry has harbored a deep resentment against him.
"I recently invented a new tracking spell, maybe it can detect the location of Remus Lupin, let's try it after the exam is over."
George's eyes twinkled with a plan to catch Remus Lupin.
Harry became excited at the words.
"Really, really can we find the location of Remus Lupin?"
"I can only say let's try, and I haven't finished it yet. Let's talk about it after I finish it in a couple of days."
George didn't shut down the conversation.
The Great Hall, morning of the next day.
"George, it's almost time for class. Why haven't you left yet?"
The Slytherin second-year students, when they were on their way to class after finishing breakfast, rarely found George sitting there calmly eating breakfast, without getting up.
Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to see George's figure anymore.
"You all go, I'm going to take the exam today."
George smiled and waved his hand.
"What exam? Isn't the final exam another week away?"
The young wizards looked at each other in confusion.
"Almost there."
George put down his pumpkin soup, got up and went towards the seventh-year witches.
The Ultimate Wizard Exam is one week earlier than the regular end-of-term exams for young wizards, and the invigilators include not only school professors but also staff from the Ministry of Magic.
"I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for the headmaster notifying me that you were actually going to take the same exam as us."
The Slytherin prefect of the seventh year, seeing George come over, also got up with other seventh-year students and said in a sentimental tone.
"Come on, let's go to the exam hall with us. The exam starts in half an hour."
"He actually takes the exam for the seventh year!"
When they saw George leave with the seventh-year students, all the young witches and wizards who had not left the Great Hall yet instantly buzzed with excitement.
And soon, the news spread throughout the entire school.
At the same time, everyone also knew the purpose of George participating in the exam, which was to finish early.
So in the following days, the school, after Remus Lupin broke in again, has become lively again.
Everyone is speculating about how many excellent grades George will get, how many good grades, and whether he will successfully graduate in the end or fail all subjects and end up in a sorry state.
For this reason, there are even some young witches and wizards who have opened betting pools.
George didn't mind either. The bigger the commotion, the better the effect when the results come out, which would be helpful for him to get a job in the Ministry of Magic.
Don't underestimate these young witches and wizards in the school; many of their parents are very influential in the wizarding world.
Three days later, when George and the other seventh-year witches walked out of the classroom having finished their last exam, there were already a number of young witches waiting outside who had rushed over from class after finishing their exams.
There were Hermione, Harry, Ginny and others like them, as well as Slytherin classmates from the same year and a lot of other people who had come to watch.
If George can get a decent grade in the Ultimate Wizard Exam and graduate early, he will be the youngest graduate in the history of Hogwarts, and his name will be recorded in the school's history books.
As a Slytherin wizard, the Slytherin house would also be proud of him.
"It's not a big deal."
George made the "OK" gesture, and everyone's faces lit up with smiles.
"George, have you finished your new tracking spell?"
Once the crowd dispersed, the trio of Harry pulled George to a quiet corner, looking forward to asking him.
"It's almost done, we can try it."
George waved his hand, and four pieces of paper with spells written on them, blue, white, red, and black, flew out and floated on the ground.
Then a large circle formed under the four pieces of paper.
"Arrange the Four Arrays!"
The tracking spells he used before were all from this world, and there are special counter-spells for wizards in this world to prevent being tracked.
The Ministry of Magic is not short of high-level tracking spell masters, but they have been unable to locate the position of Remus Lupin.
It can only be said that Remus Lupin is very skilled in counter-spells against tracking spells.
And the "Four Array" spell he is using now is not a tracking spell from this world, but a tracking magic from the world of the Academy City, which belongs to the Puritan organization.
So Remus Lupin couldn't even sense or use the corresponding counter-spells to block the tracking.
"Found it! It's near the Whomping Willow!"
George quickly found the location where Remus Lupin was hiding inside the Hogwarts castle.
"He seems to want to leave school, go and notify the professors, I'll go over there and stop him first."
He half-jokedly told Harry and the others, and without waiting for their responses, he spread his wings and flew towards the Whomping Willow.
