Voldemort's resurrection and the Ministry of Magic scandal completely ignited public opinion, causing an uproar across the British magical world. The entire magical community was clamoring for Fudge to resign.
The matter did not affect Hogwarts. Everyone still devoted most of their energy to the approaching Final Exams, and the entire castle was shrouded in tension. The library, Common Rooms, and Room of Requirement were always packed with students nervously revising. Albert had also opened the Wizard Card Club's Activity Room and lent it to his acquaintances. It was fair to say that most seventh year students, apart from those in Slytherin, had come to join the crowd.
"You really aren't nervous at all!" Lee Jordan's tone carried undisguised envy. The guy in front of him clearly did not take the N.E.W.T. exams seriously.
"Can't you see I'm revising too?" Albert tapped the notebook on the table with a finger. He was currently reviewing the so-called key points, reinforcing his memory so he would not stumble on the written exams.
Unlike the O.W.L.s, the N.E.W.T.s did not really test the basics. They tested the knowledge learned in Sixth and seventh year. Besides the most basic written exams, they also placed high demands on the candidates' practical abilities.
"Tell us about the key points. Maybe we can still get good grades." Lee Jordan voiced everyone's thoughts first. That was also why most of the students had come to join in—they all hoped Albert could spare some time to go over the important exam topics with them.
Albert's previous Defence Against the Dark Arts tutoring had benefited them enormously.
"Key points? The professors have all mentioned them in class." Albert raised an eyebrow.
"Then which ones do you think are more important?" Angelina pressed.
"Silent Spells. They're almost certainly on the exams."
