Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

When Slaine heard Percy's address, he looked at Douglas in surprise and blinked.

Douglas rolled his eyes at the mischievous guy, guessing that he must have done it on purpose.

He wanted to pretend that his identity had been accidentally revealed without violating the contract.

This will satisfy his desire to hold various large-scale autograph sessions.

I should have made an unbreakable vow earlier.

The most important thing is that Douglas didn't take it seriously. He used to worry that he was too famous in the wizarding world.

It would be troublesome if the resurrected Voldemort targeted him.

But now he has become a professor at Hogwarts.

It was only a matter of time before he faced Voldemort.

The prerequisite is that you can accumulate 10,000 points before the end of the school year.

Lift that curse.

Douglas lowered his head and said to Percy with a smile:

"This is not the place to talk. I'll ask Slaine to give you a complete set of my books later.

I guess Bill and Charlie didn't give you the book I gave them.

But please keep it a secret for me!"

Then Douglas looked up at Lockhart, who was surrounded by large photos of himself.

Percy seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stared at Douglas's back with wide eyes.

But he shook his head again, thinking that was impossible.

If he remembered correctly, when that set of books first appeared, Douglas should have been in the first or second grade...

But he remembered that Bill and Charlie did have two identical sets of books, and he had borrowed them to read.

But when the two left home, they took the book with them.

It is said to be used for entertainment in leisure time.

Lockhart in the magic photo blinked at the crowd and showed his dazzling white teeth.

And then there was the real Lockhart, wearing a forget-me-not blue robe that perfectly matched his blue eyes.

Douglas nudged Slaine with his elbow:

"Do you think I look good like this?"

Slaine glanced at Douglas from the side and asked doubtfully:

"You think this doesn't look good?"

Douglas suddenly felt that he should continue to write books under a pseudonym.

He didn't want to end up like Lockhart one day, like a peacock with its tail spread out.

Then Douglas squeezed through the crowd and came to the bookstore counter.

I bought a set of first grade textbooks and returned them.

Slaan looked at the textbook in Douglas's hand and asked curiously:

"Who are you buying textbooks for?"

Before Douglas could speak, Percy said in surprise:

"Boss, you didn't buy this for Ginny, did you lie to Mom?"

Douglas handed the book to Percy, then patted his shoulder earnestly and said:

"Young man, it seems that you have forgotten the little story I told you before.

This is not considered cheating, it is just a different way of saying it so that the other party can accept the gift with peace of mind.

Don’t let anything slip later.”

Slaine snorted beside him.

"Hmph! Don't corrupt the child with the politicians' tactics.

No wonder you can write those novels, you know so much, it's a pity you didn't become Minister of Magic..."

As the two were chatting, they soon saw Mrs. Weasley running over anxiously with Ginny.

On the other side, Arthur and a couple were walking towards them from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.

Douglas said goodbye to Slane, who was still observing and learning.

He took Percy out of the crowd.

After seeing Douglas and Percy, Mrs. Weasley hurriedly threw Ginny to them.

Then he took a book called "Magic Me" from the bookshelf.

Soon I joined the team signing and selling books.

Percy also put the book in his hand into the crucible that Ginny was carrying.

At this time, Arthur and the couple also came over.

"Hey, Douglas, are you done with your work?

I wanted to have a good chat with you. Just now, Mr. and Mrs. Granger told me a lot about cars in the Muggle world."

Before Douglas could say anything, Ginny stood by and lifted up the cauldron.

I quickly said to my father:

"Dad, Professor Holmes gave me a set of teaching materials..."

Percy also said:

"By the way, Dad, Mom invited the eldest son to dinner to congratulate him on becoming a professor at Hogwarts."

Mr. Weasley was not surprised by his son's address to Douglas.

I heard it when I was in the Burrow.

I took a look at the new textbooks in the Crucible, and then heard that Molly had made arrangements.

Nodding quickly:

"Of course, of course."

At this time, the couple next to them asked cautiously:

"Excuse me, please.

Mr. Weasley just said you were a professor at Hogwarts, right?"

Mr. Weasley slapped his forehead and said with a smile:

"I forgot to introduce you, this is the new Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Douglas Holmes.

These two are Mr. and Mrs. Granger, oh, the parents of Miss Granger who was at the door of Gringotts just now.

They are Muggles..."

Arthur Weasley knew Douglas's background, so he did not hide the latter sentence.

Looking at the Grangers who were pretending to be calm in the magical world, Douglas winked humorously:

"Hello, don't be nervous.

Actually, I am also a Muggle-born, just like Mr. Granger."

After hearing Douglas' explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Granger breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were always accompanied by Mr. Weasley, they could still sense some malice from the wizard.

When he heard that the other person was just like his daughter, an ordinary person who became a wizard,

And also became a professor at Hogwarts.

He immediately became much more friendly.

Chapter 11 I Fly the Flag for Dumbledore

Mr. Granger smiled and said:

"That's great! I think I can learn from Mr. Holmes's parents.

How can we train our Hermione to be as good as Mr....?

Before he could finish, Mr. Weasley interrupted him with a cough, then leaned over to Mr. Granger and whispered:

"Ahem... Douglas' parents died before he went to Hogwarts..."

Suddenly, Mr. Granger's face showed a hint of panic and regret, but he was not worried about himself.

But he didn't expect that he would offend his daughter's teacher not long after staying in the magical world.

He hurriedly explained:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Professor Holmes... I didn't know..."

Douglas hurried to comfort him, and Arthur on the side also talked about how good Douglas' character was.

It took a lot of effort to dispel the Grangers' panic.

"Oh, Mrs. Granger, don't worry. I think Miss Granger will be an excellent witch in the future..."

Just when a few people were chatting.

Harry and the others who had been playing by themselves also came over.

When they saw Douglas was also present, their expressions changed.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger pulled Hermione over and quickly introduced her to Douglas, although they had no idea how good their daughter was at school.

But the fact that she was able to memorize so many textbooks during the summer vacation is enough to make them proud of their daughter.

Soon Mrs. Weasley emerged from the crowd with a flushed face.

"Oh, everyone's here. I'm so glad to see it. It's Gilderoy's autograph.

I thought you would all be interested..."

Douglas saw a familiar figure in the distance - Lucius Malfoy.

He had a deep impression of this person, especially when he first entered school.

In order to change everyone's impression of him as a Death Eater, Lucius frequently appeared in the Daily Prophet.

But Douglas remembered another thing, the diary.

Frowning slightly······

Mr. Weasley noticed Douglas's expression and followed his gaze.

Then he said with some disgust:

"It's the infamous Malfoy, hum! Looks like he just came out of Knockturn Alley.

The department has been making him a bit nervous lately..."

Douglas glanced at Ginny, then clapped his hands and said to everyone:

"By the way, didn't Madam just say that she wanted to celebrate my becoming a professor? I would like to invite everyone to my home.

I think you won’t refuse to try my cooking!

By the way, my home is near London, not far away."

In an instant, everyone's expressions froze, and they didn't even have the chance to cheer.

Douglas walked straight towards the Leaky Cauldron, then smiled and gestured to everyone for an invitation:

"It's getting late. Let's not bother others here. Let's go outside and discuss it first."

The Weasleys rushed towards the Leaky Cauldron in excitement.

Mrs. Weasley saw Harry Potter and Hermione hesitating and pulled them over.
