As Wizet stepped off the stage, Dumbledore greeted her. "Wizet, were you too nervous going up on stage, or did Dolores Umbridge not give you a manuscript?"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Cornelius Fudge tilted his head slightly and asked with emphasis, "Too nervous?"

At least in his memory, Wizet thanked the entire Hogwarts, even a pet dog, but not him.

This is called being nervous?

It's clearly very organized!

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded with a smile. "Under normal circumstances, he would never miss Fang."

"Today was a bit too rushed. If you had notified us a day in advance, we would have at least helped prepare the manuscript."

Upon hearing these words, Cornelius Fudge's expression changed several times. In the end, he didn't say much more. After exchanging a few more words, he led his group away from Hogwarts.

When Dolores Umbridge returned, panting, after settling things with the reporters, Cornelius Fudge asked him irritably, "Didn't you give the article to that Lovegood?"

Dolores Umbridge quickly assured him, "Minister Fudge, I will definitely give him the manuscript!"

"Are you sure?" Cornelius Fudge murmured, his face full of suspicion. "I asked you once before the awards ceremony, and I remember your reaction was very abnormal."

"Umbridge, I hope you remember... doing your job is the most important thing! I saw it with my own eyes, Rita Skeeter interviewed that Lovegood!"

"I'm assigning you the task of hosting the reporters, not so you can fawn over them. If you feel... that being Senior Undersecretary is beneath you, I can lend a hand and get you transferred to another department!"

"Minister Fudge, I absolutely did not mean that!" Dolores Umbridge said hastily, barely managing to maintain his affected, shrill voice.

Cornelius Fudge gave Dolores Umri a deep look. "You'd better really not think that way!"

Although Cornelius Fudge did not allow students to enter the Great Hall during the awards ceremony, word still leaked out.

In less than an afternoon, news of Wizet winning the Transfiguration Today award for most promising newcomer had spread throughout Hogwarts.

With the popularity of the Wizet reading list, students are actually quite familiar with the academic journal "Transfiguration Today";

After all, when they were completing their assignments and papers, they gradually learned to find a relevant academic journal and choose a suitable paragraph to elevate the theme.

In order to see this paper that could win the "Most Promising Newcomer Award", they all tried to find ways to buy that issue of "Transfiguration Today".

Animagus is a high-level Transfiguration. Even if Wizet writes it in great detail, it is still extremely difficult to truly understand it without the corresponding knowledge.

"The Transfiguration Today" saw a surge in sales due to purchases by students, while "The Daily Prophet" experienced a buying frenzy after revealing Gilderoy Lockhart's secrets.

Rita Skeeter kept her word and published reports about the awards ceremony, but it didn't generate much buzz; readers focused their attention on Gilderoy Lockhart.

Perhaps in an effort to salvage its reputation, the Ministry of Magic reacted swiftly, immediately launching an investigation into Gilderoy Lockhart.

However, the specific investigation results have not yet been released, but given Cornelius Fudge's style, it is believed that specific results will be available soon.

After all, Cornelius Fudge himself is in the eye of the storm, and he encounters a lot of complaints and abuse every day;

If I can handle Gilderoy Lockhart's case well, it will definitely distract me and at least make me feel better, so I don't have to receive Howler every day.

As the weather grew hotter and the sun became increasingly scorching, Hogwarts finally faced its Final Exams.

Under normal circumstances, students can pass the written test relatively easily after systematic review.

The practical exam is the key to the assessment. The practical exam in the Charms Class is quite interesting. It involves rescuing a suit of armor that is tied up with ropes.

There are many methods that can be used, such as Cutting Curse, Fire-Making Spell, or Alohomora to untie the knots in the ropes, all of which can be used to complete the test, and then the score is based on the degree of damage to the armor.

The Transfiguration test is relatively complicated. You need to catch a rooster wandering around the classroom and turn it into a baking pan. The faster you Transfiguration the rooster and the more exquisite the pattern on the baking pan, the higher your score will be.

Professor McGonagall was very thorough. When a rooster was chased until it could no longer run, she would immediately catch a new rooster to replace it. There was no possibility of taking shortcuts.

Most candidates would grab the rooster first and then cast Transfiguration to ensure accuracy, but Wizet cast the spell directly, taking only two minutes from entering the classroom to leaving it.

The practical exam for Potions Class was to make Sleeping Draught Potions could quickly induce a deep sleep, but the effect was short-lived.

Snape's choice of this Potions was clearly carefully planned; it is Potions, and the volatile Potions is equally effective.

If a test taker delays the Potions- making process, spends too much time in the classroom, or inhales too much Sleeping Draught, they will be affected and fall asleep immediately, thus earning a big "T".

With Final Exams over, students are not only looking forward to the upcoming summer vacation, but also to a Quidditch match at the Academy.

With the help of Wizet, Ravenclaw once again won the Quidditch House Cup with a perfect record, retaining their title for the second consecutive year.

After the game, Roger Davies grinned the whole time, "We won... even with Potter! But we had Wizet..."

He suddenly changed the subject, coughed a few times, and said, "Actually, this victory was very close... and it was the smallest score difference we've ever had..."

"Yes... the difference is only thirty points... we still need to work harder... Gryffindor's strength should not be underestimated..."

The reason he changed the subject was naturally because of the appearance of Oliver Wood.

Oliver Wood, brimming with fighting spirit, clenched his fist and stepped forward, declaring, "We'll definitely win next time! Just you wait and see!"

As Oliver Wood walked away, Roger Davies made a praying gesture.

"Given Wood's personality, he'll definitely devise an even more terrifying training regimen... Hopefully, Fred and George can withstand it..."

At the same time, Fred and George suddenly shuddered and sneezed simultaneously.

They both shivered in unison, looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Do you feel... suddenly very cold?"
