The Future Is Yours

April 21st,

The Apparition exam arrived as scheduled.

The exam consists of several parts:

Fixed-point parking, phantom entry, right-angle turn, curve reveal...

It's somewhat similar to a hybrid of driving test part two and part three.

The requirements are very simple, only two:

There must be no Splinching in any form; it must not stray more than two meters from the destination.

As a seasoned driver who had been driving without a license for many years, William was highly skilled, and Apparition, he performed a variety of tricks.

Most importantly, it has a high frequency and strong endurance, making it easy to handle various extreme environments and complex terrains.

Even the female proctors sent by the Ministry of Magic praised William highly, constantly complimenting his abilities.

It's always the same few sentences, basically:

Come on, baby,

Oh, yes.

Oh, yeah!

William easily obtained his Apparition license, meaning he no longer needed to drive without a license.

With Cedric's help, Qiu practiced many times. Although she was a little nervous, she eventually completed all the tasks.

But many students weren't as lucky as her.

Marietta suffered a terrible Splinching; her little fingernail was cut off.

She insisted that she had bitten off her nails because she was too nervous.

But the proctor didn't play any tricks on her; he simply gave her a failing grade.

McLaggen also experienced Splinching, with a significant amount of hair falling out.

Just as the teachers were about to give him a failing grade, he removed his hair in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned.

It turned out to be a wig; he had been bald for almost a year.

McLaggen argued:

"Last year, he stayed up all night studying for the O.W.L. Exam... he even went bald from exhaustion."

As the saying goes, going bald makes you stronger... McLaggen has gone to such lengths for the certificate, what can the proctors say?

Besides, if Splinching... shouldn't it first be a part of the body?

Wigs definitely don't count.

McLaggen successfully obtained his certificate.

However, he also lost his mating rights for the last year at Hogwarts.

But then again, how can you lose something you've never possessed?

McLaggen made a lot of money this time.

Eloise the most ruthless.

She was afraid her hair would fall out, so she shaved off all the hair on her body.

Not just hair, but also eyebrows, armpit hair... in short, a whole range of hair.

The most outrageous one is Chris from Slytherin.

She approached her brother and asked him to dress as a woman to help her with the exam.

Unfortunately, after it was discovered, even her brother's certificate was revoked.

Not many students received the Apparition certificate after the exam.

They can only take the exam next year, along with the sixth-grade students.

It's said that there are some wizards who have taken the exam for five or six years without getting their certificates... These people are just there to be part of the denominator.

May has finally arrived, and the weather is gradually getting warmer.

The students' attention was entirely focused on the Quidditch Match.

The Quidditch Tour for this academic year is coming to an end, with only two matches remaining.

Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin;

Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor.

Currently, Hufflepuff House has the highest points in the tournament; Ravenclaw is second; Gryffindor is third; and Slytherin is fourth.

This ranking is largely influenced by off-field factors.

Because of Umbridge's actions, players from all four teams have been suspended.

The one most affected is undoubtedly Ravenclaw.

William is the captain and the team's soul, as well as their top scorer.

After he was expelled, Qiu Gumu was left helpless... The young eagles were just easy targets.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Ravenclaw is entirely due to William's performance.

The second group affected was Gryffindor.

Harry and the twins were suspended by Old Toad at the beginning of the season because of a fight.

Even without those three, Gryffindor can still fight.

After all, Anne and Ginny, these two young players, are just too good.

Ginny's performance as Seeker was just as good as Harry's.

Harry played for several years and preferred to hunt the Golden Snitch "alone," making him less able to integrate into the team's tactics.

Ginny may not be as experienced or insightful as Ha, but she actively participates in defensive support.

Especially with Anne, their teamwork was absolutely perfect.

So Professor McGonagall came again.

She praised the two of them:

"With Anne and Ginny's talent and skill level, they are absolutely capable of playing in the Quidditch World Cup!"

Does this sentence sound strangely familiar?

That's how she praised Harry back then.

Back then, a young William was truly fooled by Professor McGonagall.

But as the years passed, he realized that Professor McGonagall and Trelawney were actually the same kind of people.

One predicts a student's death every year; the other boasts every few years that his students are world-class players.

It's true that all world-class players come from Gryffindor.

Everything originated from Gryffindor.

Given that Gryffindor boasts two "world-class" players, how did they fare during Harry and the twins' suspension?

That's terrible... Of course, Ron is to blame for it.

When he plays well, everything is fine; when he plays poorly, it's better if there's no goalkeeper at all.

Since there's no goalkeeper, at least they won't block their own players' positions, right?

Therefore, Gryffindor Quidditch Team Ravenclaw and Gryffindor have been chasing points and trying to fill the gaps they fell in the early stages of the game in recent matches.

However, the Quaffle is round, so anything is possible.

As Hogwarts' most prolific Chaser, wasn't William once held to a 0-for-27 shooting record by Hermione?

Besides, the current points of these four teams are not that different.

There are still two matches left, and everyone has a chance to reach the final.

Unfortunately, Slytherin became the first team to be eliminated.

Before the tournament began, a student anonymously accused Slytherin Beater Bole of match-fixing.

Players are even prohibited from betting on online gambling, let alone fixing matches.

The entire Hogwarts was in an uproar.

Slytherin House issues an urgent announcement:

Bole voluntarily reports to Professor Snape that she was coerced into participating in inappropriate competitive behavior during the competition two years ago.

The Slytherin Quidditch administration immediately reported the matter to the disciplinary committee and has cooperated with the House in its investigation.

Bole is out of contention and will likely face a long-term ban.

With one key player missing, Slytherin's chances are completely over.

Hufflepuff was overjoyed; they had gotten lucky, easily taking down the little snake and racking up a huge score.

This was something Snape did on purpose.

He'd rather Hufflepuff win than Gryffindor or Shidake win.

The Slytherin students all believed that it must have been Gryffindor student who reported it.

Don't ask, it's all the fault of those stupid lions.

In retaliation against Gryffindor, the snakes sang "Weasley Is Our King" together during the final tour.

Ron completely lost his composure.

he,

A Gryffindor goalkeeper,

They forced three own goals in a row!

William was stunned.

In this match, the two teams set six historical records.

Ron is one of them.

It's not just about the number of own goals.

He also became the highest-scoring... goalkeeper in Hogwarts history.

Ravenclaw defeated Gryffindor to become the second team to reach the final.

Two titles in four years... a dynasty is beckoning to William.

Gryffindor and Slytherin, on the other hand, returned home together as husband and wife, becoming inseparable brothers in misfortune.

Anne, who had been beaten to a pulp by William, hid in Hermione's arms and cried for a long time.

William patted his sister's head and comforted her:

The future is yours!

"Really?" Anne asked, her eyes brimming with tears, looking up at her brother.

"Don't lie to me!"

"Of course it's true!" William grinned.

He turned around, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and felt a faint sadness.

The future certainly belongs to Anne... but that doesn't stop William from beating her to tears again next year.

Forgive me, my foolish sister, this is the last time.
