Chapter 480: A Novel Experience
Chapter 480: A Novel Experience
Kael and Professor McGonagall's conversation was heard by many, but for those who couldn't even manage a snail, they clearly weren't qualified to participate in such an advanced topic.
More importantly, they didn't understand it, so it was better to continue their battle with the snails on the table.
The two classes passed quickly, and by the end, only Kael and Connor had completed Professor McGonagall's request.
As a reward, Professor McGonagall not only gave them ten extra points but also exempted them from their homework.
The other students had to practice the spell overnight and write a five-foot-long essay, which was due the next afternoon.
Instantly, almost everyone in the classroom couldn't help but complain, feeling the workload was overwhelming. It was at this moment that most students realized the terror of fifth grade.
Last year's homework was only three feet long, and now it had doubled to five feet.
They had always heard that fifth grade was the most challenging year, and now they finally experienced it.
Especially Mikael and Ryan, who were almost in tears.
The amount of homework wasn't the issue, but the fact that Kael didn't have to do it... It was like taking away their reference answers.
The afternoon consisted of two consecutive spell classes. Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Filius also emphasized the importance of the fifth-year exams before class and told them they needed to work harder than before.
When class ended, everyone looked at him nervously, and Professor Filius didn't disappoint. He assigned a mountain of homework.
Perhaps the next spell class was in the morning, and with limited time, Professor Filius only required three feet of writing.
However, the students didn't seem happy at all.
By dinnertime, almost all the fifth-year students were unusually quiet, even the usually lively Mikael was silent. He ate a few bites of food without a word and immediately ran to the library.
With eight feet of homework due in one day, they had no time to waste.
Cedric observed all this with a calm expression... As a veteran, he had been through it all.
But most of the time, he was among the few exempted from homework.
And this was just the first day.
In the following days, the fifth-year students finally understood what an O.W.L. year meant. Ten feet of homework daily was just the basic requirement, and there were numerous spells to practice.
Even the relaxed Divination class became heavy. Professor Trelawney asked students to record their dreams and make complete prophecies based on the 'Dream Interpretation Guide' at least three times a week.
Their time in the library increased daily, and the once-beloved Wizard's Chess and Exploding Snap were forgotten in the corner.
Once, Kael heard a chess piece cursing in the common room, complaining about the dust on its body and the lack of cleaning.
As a result, almost half of the students' Divination homework was highly similar... They even dreamed about doing homework.
In this situation, Kael seemed a bit lazy. Exempted from most homework, he spent less time in the library instead of more... Oh, and Connor, too.
In the vast common room, only they, the two fifth-year students, could leisurely play Exploding Snap, while many others looked on enviously.
On the weekend, when Kael woke up, the dormitory was empty except for him... Mikael and Ryan had gotten up early and gone to the library, leaving two empty beds.
He hadn't expected to be the last one to wake up... Kael felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
He walked out of the dormitory and saw Connor sitting in an armchair, apparently having waited for a while, with a tall stack of Exploding Snap cards on the table.
After breakfast in the Great Hall, the two of them went to the Room of Requirement together.
"Are you ready?" Kyle asked as he opened the box.
"I've been ready for a long time." Connor jumped into the box, as if she had done this many times before.
It was the same familiar cottage.
But this time, the feeling was obviously different, with Kyle by her side, she no longer had to worry about the dragon.
The place wasn't big, and since she had basically seen everything the last time she was here, her gaze turned directly to the door.
"Come with me..." Kyle also saw her thoughts and walked out of the door.
The next moment, Connor was stunned.
Although she had thought about it, she didn't expect the place outside to be so big!
She stood on her tiptoes, but couldn't see the end.
"You didn't bring the Forbidden Forest here, did you?" Connor asked subconsciously.
"No, no..." Kyle shook his head, "It's a little smaller than the Forbidden Forest, about half the size."
As he spoke, Kyle skillfully extended his arm and grabbed the Snidget that had sneaked over, casually tossing it into the bushes nearby.
But Connor didn't notice this, her attention was already fully drawn to the strange scene before her.
She was amazed to find that there were several distinct climates here, with a lush forest in front of her, a vast desert next to it, and a snowy world with heavy snow falling on the other side.
Each area was separated by a small path, like the squares on a chessboard, clearly divided.

At this moment, a shadow appeared above the two of them.
Then Connor saw a dragon, several dozen feet long, diving down from the sky and eventually landing in front of them.
It was the same dragon that had frightened Ron unconscious.
Connor instinctively felt a bit of fear, but Norbert didn't even look at her.
After landing on the ground, Norbert, with a head as big as a table, bumped into Kyle's arms, as if seeking affection.
Even though he was prepared, Kyle was still knocked back five or six meters.
"Damn it..." Kyle rubbed his chest and said to Connor, who was trying hard not to laugh, "I've reminded it many times, but it obviously hasn't listened once.
Remember to be careful when you come next time, being knocked by it is no joke."
Connor couldn't laugh, and she looked at the several dozen feet tall creature with lingering fear, secretly deciding that if Kyle wasn't with her, she would never come here alone.
"Is this really a dragon?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Kyle patted Norbert's scales, "It can't be a tabby cat..."
If it could change its appearance, it would indeed be a dragon, after all, whose dragon is so docile... Connor muttered to herself.
Kyle looked at her uneasiness and smiled, "Do you want to touch it?"
"Can I?"
Connor's eyes lit up, she had never been so close to a dragon before, and she didn't have this opportunity.
"No problem, don't worry."
With Kyle's assurance, Connor gathered her courage and gently placed her hand on Norbert.
The dragon's scales weren't as smooth as she had imagined, and the touch was slightly warm, like touching the wall next to a fireplace.
Kyle then brought Connor to Norbert's back.
Sitting on the dragon's back, Connor smiled happily, a feeling she had never experienced before... very novel.
But Norbert wasn't happy, it snorted and blew a small flame, but since Kyle was there, it couldn't move freely. It could only swing its tail constantly, banging the ground to express its dissatisfaction.
