Little Lord Peverell And Those Who Confused

Chapter 7

Turned out, Professor Potter was the one escorting Harry to the Ministry to take his exams. He didn't have any opinion about it, like fine, whatever. There was a bit of awkwardness when he was around Professor Potter, but he didn't think much about it and simply assumed it was because they weren't familiar with each other.

"Are you ready, Mr. Peverell?"

"Of course."

Harry smiled and answered, then offered his hand to Professor Potter. It was strange when he felt the comfortable warmth of the professor's hand, like it was suspiciously familiar. But again, he didn't have time to think too much, as soon they arrived at the Ministry.

"Mr. Peverell, why do you want to take the tests early?"

Professor Potter asked as they waited for the time to enter the exam room. Harry looked up, seeing a curious look on the woman's face. He tilted his head, the corner of his mouth curled up, and replied indifferently:

"I think you already know the reason."

Of course, it was clear to everyone why Harry wanted to take his History and Astronomy O.W.Ls early. Anyone who has attended Hogwarts has certainly known the horror of having to sit in a classroom and listen to a boring lecture from a ghost. It was ridiculous. And Harry felt insulted at having to waste his precious time on such useless things. He came to Hogwarts to grow, not to lower himself to that level.

"I don't think it's that bad." Professor Potter shook her head, of course she had to defend her colleague. "Professor Binns is a good teacher, although his teaching method is a bit slow. If students listen carefully to the lecture, I think they will realize the interesting points of this subject."

"Yeah yeah whatever, can we go yet?"

Harry rolled his eyes, not in the mood to argue with the woman about whether Professor Binns was a good teacher or not. He had already arrived in front of the exam room, so it would be meaningless to discuss things that were no longer important.

About eight o'clock in the morning, the exam room door opened, and a witch stepped out, beckoning Harry inside. Occasionally there would be a few people who came to the Ministry to take the exam, but during this time Harry was the only one.

The test was easy, Harry read the questions, and rolled his eyes. He quickly used the quill given to him to write down the answers, continuously without stopping. In just half an hour, Harry finished the exam, and he left the exam room with the witch's complicated eyes and Professor Potter's surprise.

Well, what did they expect? It was just History of Magic.

"Maybe I should register for the N.E.W.T test for this subject as well."

Yeah, and also Astronomy. Maybe after he got the results.

The time it took each person to take the exam was two hours, but it only took Harry half an hour to complete it all. So he had the next hour and a half, plus thirty minutes of rest until the Astronomy exam started. That had been part of his plan, and Harry turned to Professor Potter and asked:

"During this free time, can I go to Gringotts? I have an important meeting there."

"Gringotts? Meeting?" Professor Potter asked, unable to believe the boy's request in front of her. But after thinking for a bit, she gradually understood. "Is that your real goal? Using the excuse of having to take two O.W.L.s early just so you can leave Hogwarts?"

Harry shrugged, not answering the professor's question. He looked up at her, his eyes clearly showing "you should decide quickly, or I can go to Gringotts by myself".
