Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Alexis also had a bad premonition, and his premonition soon came true.

The questions for the afternoon practical exam were quickly brought. When he opened them, Alexis almost spat a mouthful of blood into the face of the official opposite.

“1. Select food suitable for the recovering unicorn from a pile of food and successfully feed it.”

Unicorns are vegetarian animals, and only those with holy souls may be allowed to get close to them. Alexis felt that this question was not screening students who were paying attention in class, but screening the Holy Spirit.

Anyway, Alexis and Lupine have been in the Forbidden Forest for so long, but they have not been able to successfully feed the unicorns.As far as he knew, Hagrid was the only person he knew who claimed to have fed a unicorn, and the evidence was the hair the unicorn gave him in return.

"2. Feed the Moon-Crazy Beast."

The Moon-Crazy Beast is a very timid animal that only crawls out of its hole when the moon is full.

Alexis did the math, great, today is only the sixth day of the lunar month, there are still nine days until the full moon.

This is not an exam at all, this is to embarrass the candidates and make magical animals behave contrary to their habits.

"3. Find the deformed lizard from a large group of lizards."

Probably only this question is normal.As for the subsequent "identifying xxx" and "feeding xxx", Alexis no longer wanted to read it.

Now he was very sure that the person who asked the question didn't know anything about magical animals at all. The person who asked the question probably just took a random book, turned to a random page, saw the name of a random magical animal, and then started to make assumptions. Ask questions.

Not to mention that it is also mixed with topics involving common animals.

Alexis was very sure that if these questions were shown to Newt's "Arch Druid", he would rush into the question giver's office with his precious box, drag him into the box, and let him take a good look at it. What are magical animals?

Poor Newt, it’s a good thing Newt didn’t see these questions, he would have been so angry that his brain would bleed.

"Reprint them all. These can't be used."

Alexis threw the test paper back to the official and said loudly

"This is an exam for the protection of magical animals! Magical animals! Not every animal can be called a magical animal! If you don't know what magical animals are, go back and go to class!"

"Or I can introduce you to a master of magical animals. How about Senior Newt? I'm quite familiar with her. You can try to test him with these shabby questions and see how his Winged Demon and Zuowu agrees or not!!!"

The official was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the test paper and apologized repeatedly, then turned around to catch up with his colleague and went to report to the computer.

"Who is your damn superior? Tell me his home address and inform him that I will visit his home after the exam is over!"

Alexis shouted from the back.

After saying that, he shook his head and walked into the classroom.

"Everyone stop it first." Alexis clapped her hands. "There is an error or omission in the exam question. Stop it first. Stop answering the question."

"We are already communicating with the examination administration and will change the questions for you soon. The test papers in your hands are invalid."

The candidates looked at each other, then let out a suppressed cheer.

They've really suffered enough.

Since last week, the exam questions have become more and more strange, and I haven’t passed them normally.They just want to pass the ordinary wizard level exam, why is it so difficult!

……

Officials soon returned with new exam questions.

After apologizing to Alexis, the two of them quickly distributed the test papers without Alexis having to do anything.

This made Alexis very doubtful whether they had prepared two sets of test papers a long time ago, otherwise how could it have happened so quickly.

Alexis took a test paper and looked at it. The questions this time were quite normal.

"Please discuss the types of fire dragons, and discuss their living habits, origin, etc."

Although this workload is huge, it is still a serious topic.

As for the practical exam in the afternoon, the topic was also changed, from the weird topic to "try to get close to the Hippogriff and pet it."

The Hippogriff is a very proud and bad-tempered magical animal. If you want to get close to it, you must first show it that you are not a threat.

Valley</span>Usually the correct approach is to bow to the hippogriff first, express respect, and wait for its response. During this process, you must always maintain eye contact with it and cannot look around. Considered impolite.

Only when you get permission can you gradually get closer.

Hippogriffs can be tamed, but this is usually done by experienced wizards.

There is a hippogriff in Hogwarts, which has been raised by Hagrid. Hagrid said it was called "Buckbeak".

Unfortunately, Alexis did not win the admiration of Mr. Buckbeak, the hippogriff. According to Hagrid, Alexis's gaze was too aggressive, as if he was considering skinning and ripping him apart. Same.

During the few times Alexis came into contact with Buckbeak, Alexis was almost bitten by Buckbeak each time.

He could easily defeat or even kill Buckbeak, but whenever he had this thought and looked at Hagrid who was looking at him helplessly, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Although this question is somewhat dangerous, and subsequent candidates may annoy Buckbeak due to the frequent appearance of strangers, it is still within the scope of a normal question.

Besides, with him and Hagrid watching, there shouldn't be any problems.

Alexis nodded and said nothing more.

Because of the delay in changing the questions, the end time of their morning exam was naturally postponed by half an hour.

When the candidates finally finished the exam and came to the restaurant, students from other grades cast inquiring glances.

Soon, word spread among the candidates about what Alexis did in the exam room.

Alexis quickly finished her lunch as usual, got up and went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest to find Hagrid.

Theoretically speaking, the ownership of Buckbeak does not belong to Hagrid. The examination administration can take Buckbeak away at any time and use it as a "tool" for the examination. It is even legal for them to dissect Buckbeak on the spot if they want.

But Alexis wouldn't do that.

Buckbeak has been fed by Hagrid for a long time. With Hagrid's love for animals, Buckbeak is no longer just a magical animal in Hagrid's eyes.

Like Fang, this is Hagrid's friend.

In order to avoid an accident that would result in Hagrid's friend being executed, Alexis felt it necessary to say hello to Hagrid in advance.

"You mean to ask Buckbeak to take the Care of Magical Creatures exam?"

Hagrid happened to be feeding Buckbeak when Alexis came to see him.Hagrid confirmed after listening to Alexis' story.

"Yes." Alexis stood far away and looked at Buckbeak, who was also looking at him. "In order to ensure that nothing happens, I think you'd better communicate with this grumpy old man first."

"Harm a student and it could be punishable by death."

Buckbeak seemed to understand what Alexis was saying. He glared at his hooves dissatisfiedly and opened his mouth wide in the direction of Alexis, as if he wanted to stuff Alexis' head into his mouth.

Alexis gave Buckbeak a look of contempt in return, then turned to Hagrid and said, "If it doesn't work, let me know as soon as possible."

"Or you can supervise the exam with me in the afternoon."

"Really?" Hagrid looked a little excited. "I mean, yes, of course."

"Thank you, thank you Alexis."

Hagrid thanked him incoherently.

Alexis could understand Hagrid's mood.

Hagrid has not been living a happy life since he was framed by Voldemort, and the fact that he is half-giant - which is easy to see - has caused him to be reviled and ostracized.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in Hogwarts is good. Except for the occasional students who cast disdainful glances at him, most teachers and students will not have any different views on him.

If Dumbledore didn't leave him at Hogwarts to guard the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid would probably have to go looking for the giant tribe.

And a half-giant like him would also be ostracized in the giant tribe, and he might even be killed as food in the winter when food was scarce.

Therefore, Hagrid has always been grateful to Hogwarts, to Dumbledore, and to those who helped him, and he hopes that he can do something in return.
