HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Professor Marchbank kept looking at the three bone runes the girl had found until another professor came over to talk to her, "Professor Marchbank, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"No, I have something else to do. You go first." She shook her head to reject her colleague's invitation, stretched out her wrinkled hand, picked up the three bone magic symbols and stuffed them into the black velvet bag.

A familiar voice was heard from one of the staff dormitories. If Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape passed by at this time, they would recognize that it was the voice of Dumbledore who had disappeared for a long time.

"Professor, you mean that the girl measured 'Thurisaz', 'Ansuz' and 'Kenaz', right?" Dumbledore's face appeared in Professor Marchbanks' hand mirror with an expected expression on his face.

"Yes, you asked me to pay attention to her exam performance. This should be the 'special situation' you asked me to tell you about, right?" Professor Marchbank's voice was still very loud, but Dumbledore was used to it.

"I thought this situation would occur in divination or arithmetic divination," Dumbledore spread his hands and continued, "I didn't expect that the ancient magic runes would give me the answer I wanted."

"Then do Divination and Math Divination still need to watch that child?" Professor Marchbank admired the little girl's fighting spirit. She was the only one who asked if there were any extra points for ancient magic runes.

"If possible, I would like to know the results of her two additional divinations." Dumbledore wanted to confirm his inference again. The result of Lycoris's ancient magic divination made him feel the answer to fate.

"Okay, I'll tell you after she finishes the exam." Professor Marchbank looked at the ripples in the hand mirror, and Dumbledore's face disappeared and turned into her own.

She looked up at the three bones and ancient runes on her desk. She knew a little about what that little guy Dumbledore was thinking.

He wanted to protect the little girl, fearing that she would go astray, just like he did back then.

Marchbank could see that the little girl named Lycoris was indeed "stubborn".

Just like her divination reading, 'I am right and everyone else is wrong'.

The little girl is self-centered and extreme, and is the type of person who sticks to one path to the end.

Dumbledore looked at his white-bearded self in the hand mirror and thought of the results of Lycoris's ancient magic divination.

Firenze's prediction for Lycorice exactly matched the prediction she made for herself.

"When Mars is bright, war begins. When Saturn is dim, fate ends."

"You know what? That girl's horoscope is unclear, it's very strange." Dumbledore smiled slightly when he thought of Firenze swinging his tail and asking him in confusion.

His hand stroked the handle of the hand mirror, his eyes became firm, as if he had made up his mind.

Licorice didn't ask for extra points in any of her subsequent exams because of that look she gave when she turned back.

When leaving the Ancient Rune OWLs examination room, Lycoris looked back at the entire room as usual.

Then she saw Professor Marchbank staring at his three bone runes without moving, as if he was thinking about something.

After just a quick glance, Lycoris closed the door behind her for fear of attracting the professors' attention.

This is very wrong.

Especially when compared with the surrounding situation.

Other students who did not automatically request extra points for the exam left earlier than him. After everyone finished their exams, the professor went to collect the magic props he provided.

Why do other professors collect students' teaching props immediately after the exam, but Professor Marchban is not in a hurry to collect them, but instead focuses on his own examination results?

Lycoris felt hungry and became more concerned about Professor Marchbank's abnormal behavior.

She is so old, isn’t she hungry?

What is it about her test results that makes her so worried?

For fear that the professor would discover something was wrong with her, Licorice did not take the initiative to ask for extra points in subsequent exams, especially divination and arithmetic divination, which were similar to ancient magic runes.

Licoli returned to the Slytherin common room with a lot of questions in her mind, and saw Draco and Nott playing wizard chess, and Pansy sitting on the sofa reading a potion book.

"You two have it so easy." Lycoris sat down on the sofa and leaned on Pansy. "Ancient magic runes are so difficult."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Pansy was squeezed by Licorice and her body tilted. She almost dropped her book. She looked at Licorice who was leaning on her like a boneless octopus and said, "Do you want some oranges?"

"Ah!" Licorice opened her mouth. Pansy put down the book, picked up her handkerchief, wiped her hands, peeled an orange for Licorice, and put it in her mouth.

"There's a Potions exam on Monday, aren't you going to review?" Licorice asked the two guys after eating her orange.

"Do we still need to review for the Potions exam?" Draco raised an eyebrow and looked at Lycoris, playing with the White Knight in his hands.

My boyfriend is really crazy, but he is indeed capable.

"Theodore, do you think the two of us should review Potions?" Draco turned to look at Nott across from him.

Nott was in a daze holding his king in his hand when he was called out by Draco.

"You don't need to review Potions, right?" Nott said sincerely, "Then it would be more efficient to see if the creatures that protect magical creatures have any special habits."

After hearing this, Pansy rolled her eyes at the two of them. Is it so great that you're good at Potions?

"I've finished reviewing Potions," Pansy didn't want to talk to Malfoy and Nott. She turned to look at Lycoris, "Care of Magical Biology, Divination and Astronomy. I'm free after three more electives."

"Congratulations!" Licorice also picked up the orange and began to peel it. She sighed and said, "I still have Arithmancy and Muggle Studies to study. I have signed up for twelve subjects and I still have time to take exams."

"That's too bad," Pansy showed a sympathetic expression and handed her the orange she had peeled. "How are you going to relax this summer vacation? Do you want to come and play with me?"

"Not necessarily, I still have to prepare for the NEWTs exam!" Licorice stuffed the orange into her mouth and spit out the tiny orange seeds.

"Are you crazy? There are still two years left, and you're already preparing for the NEWTs?" Pansy's eyes widened in disbelief, "You don't even want to go out and play?"

"Maybe I should drop out of school and go traveling?" Lycoris joked, tearing open the orange segments she had peeled and putting them into Pansy's mouth.

"You're really working hard!" Pansy suddenly felt that she was good enough again. She could finish reviewing the book on Care of Magical Creatures today.

"If you don't excel, who will? You're really hardworking." Draco and Nott also felt that Lycoris was the most hardworking Slytherin.

But Draco thought more about it. Could he still study with Lycoris this summer vacation?
