Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

What's worse is that it seems that several main course professors are very interested in the exam at the end of the first semester to test students' learning progress.

Finally, a week before the end of November, it was confirmed that the five subjects of Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Astronomy would be jointly examined for the first final exam of the first semester at Hogwarts.

Professor Snape even made it clear that anyone who did not perform well in this exam would only have the opportunity to practice knife skills with kitchen vegetables in his class after the start of the second semester.

It was also made clear that the use of vegetables and cauldrons to practice flame control in Potions classes was strictly prohibited.

Douglas saw a "Potions Preparation Practice Sheet" from George and Fred. It selected some common vegetables and followed the corresponding potion preparation methods.

It can be seen that Snape really put a lot of effort into it, because if the vegetables are handled properly, they will not affect their cooking at all.

However, Douglas secretly told the kitchen that in the future, dishes used by Potions students for practice would not be allowed in his meals.

Seeing the embarrassed looks on the faces of the house-elves in the kitchen, Douglas concluded that Snape must have instructed the kitchen to make those dishes for him...

In comparison, other professors do not have such high requirements.

Those who failed the exam were simply asked to copy the textbook again in the second semester.

Even Professor Flitwick, who was usually quite lenient, agreed with this request.

As November comes to an end.

First Saturday of December.

Hogwarts welcomed the first snow of the year.

That same day, Douglas received a note from Professor Sinistra of the Astronomy class:

[Dear Douglas, ap.

When I woke up this morning, the whole world was like an icy cave, with colors of dead white and pale blue.

The earth was so bright and dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. The sky was so cold and blue that all the stars were hidden behind thick clouds.

When Saturn rises, on the top of the astronomical tower, pots are used as utensils and fire is used as a heat source. They transform into incredible power, illuminating the darkness of early winter.

Douglas's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he didn't return all the knowledge he learned from his astronomy class to Professor Sinistra.

It’s just a hotpot at 9:30 on Saturday night at the Astronomy Tower, but you make it so artistic.

(Saturn represents Saturday and rises around 9:30 p.m. in December.)

So he wrote a note to Dumbledore as well.

[Tonight at 9:30, bring your equipment and eat hot pot on the astronomical tower.

Tip: First snow goes well with hot pot! 】

Then, he randomly found a student at the door and asked him to send the note to Dumbledore by owl.

This makes it seem like a ritual.

As usual, Douglas went to the fifth and sixth grade practical class classrooms respectively.

Overall, this fifth grade class has made rapid progress.

Most fifth-grade students can already complete fourth-grade content on their own.

Douglas felt that if it weren't for the classes and spell learning that required a lot of practice, they might have been able to complete the academy.

Of course, all this is thanks to the fourth-grade students, especially after they saw that the fifth-grade students were only slightly better than them, they caught up at an increasingly faster pace.

In the individual rankings, several fourth-grade students have already made it into the top 20.

It seems that the list is no longer a simple competition between students from the four major colleges, but a competition between the fourth and fifth grades.

All the sixth grade students have passed through the fog and entered the swamp. What they have to face are no longer ordinary dark magic creatures, but various magic traps. If they are not careful, they will be quickly swallowed by the swamp and have to start all over again.

After inspecting the practical class classroom.

Douglas came outside the castle.

I found that many students who did not go to Hogsmeade were playing snowball fights on the grass slope in front of the castle.

Peeves, who was having a great time, cursed inwardly when he saw Douglas, then disappeared in a flash.

Almost all the students were using the Snake Speed ​​Skating Spell to zip through the snow.

Then, when the opponent is not paying attention, throw the snowball at him.

Douglas dodged suddenly and two snowballs flew past his head.

He looked in the direction of the snowball and saw George and Fred.

The two seemed to know that they could not escape.

"Professor, it was just an accident."

"Having a snowball fight doesn't count as attacking the professor, does it?"

Douglas didn't say anything, but just looked at the two of them with a strange smile.

George quickly bent down like a gentleman and said:

"It's snowing. We sincerely invite you to have a snowball fight with us, Professor."

Fred raised his hands and called out to the students who were still running around:

"Classmates, let's welcome the professor to join us in the fun!"

At this time, the students who were still running quickly noticed that Douglas was among them.

Hearing Fred's words, most of the students cheered, and many students had already prepared snowballs.

Just waiting for the first warrior to throw a snowball.

Douglas smiled and said loudly:

"Since everyone is so interested, let's play a little game."

As he spoke, he took out two wooden tablets from his pocket, which were engraved with various runes.

He threw the wooden sign to the open space beside him, and all the students were puzzled.

Then they saw a small tornado sucking together the snow near the wooden sign.

When the wind died down, what appeared before them was a normal-sized knight made of snow, riding a wild boar about two meters tall, but the knight held a snow gun the size of a fist in his hand.

Douglas tapped the monster with his wand and said:

“This is a small prop I made. It can condense common materials around you into a monster according to your ideas.

It can help you fight or escape at critical moments.

However, there is a small flaw: these two rune wood cards can only be used for one hour.

All you have to do is defeat this monster within an hour. The shorter the time, the longer the wooden sign will last."

Everyone looked at the huge monster excitedly.

A classmate asked excitedly:

"Professor, are you saying that if we defeat this snow monster, you will give us the two runewood tablets?"

Douglas smiled and nodded:

"certainly!

But I have some requests. You can only attack the snow monsters, not each other.

And I cast a spell on the wooden signs so that they will automatically recognize the person who defeated them last.

No matter who gets it, you can't snatch it.

I hope you can comply with these two requirements, otherwise..."

The students present nodded quickly.

At this time, many students saw the snow monster and rushed over curiously.

When they asked the students around them, no one said much.

Douglas left immediately after his introduction. The two rune wooden tablets were just the failed products of his experiment.

The condensation time is too long, the existence time is too short, and it is one-time. The combat capability is also affected by the requirements of the condensation material. The most important thing is that his transformation skills are very strong, and things like this can be made almost at will.

Although he looked down on it, it was indeed a rare magic prop for students.

The students in the crowd who heard Douglas' introduction drew their wands.

The smart ones have already started to team up in pairs.

George and Fred looked at each other and rushed forward without hesitation.

After all, there are not many people around now, especially most of the senior students are not here.

If you don't take action first, the longer you wait, the less chances they will have.

The other students also thought of this, so everyone took action immediately.

Various spells flew towards the snow monster.

At this time, the snow monster, which had always looked like a sculpture, finally moved.

The knight on the boar raised his spear and quickly threw a snowball at a flying spell.

Directly intercept the crushing spell.

The wild boar under his body was not idle either. When it opened its big mouth, it could almost swallow a person directly.

Countless snowflakes flew out of his mouth, forming a snow wall in front of him, almost blocking most of the spells.

Then the wild boar showed agility that was inconsistent with its body size, dodged the spells, and rushed to another piece of snow.

Especially when it stepped on the snow, it seemed to be more flexible.

At this time, even the students who didn't understand what was happening joined in the attack.

Although they didn't know why the students attacked the snow monster, they were of course happy to be able to use offensive magic outside the classroom.

Chapter 118: Use Magic Enough

They seemed to have underestimated the yeti's abilities.

I thought the snow monster could only dodge.

After three classmates were hit by the snow spears in the knight's hands, they froze in place for a minute.

The wild boar even rampaged through the crowd.

The students began to dodge the attacks of the snow monster in a panic.

If they hadn't been very good at speed skating on the snake track, they would probably have been knocked away by the opponent or directly fixed in place.

Soon, some students discovered that the Yeti's speed would slow down and even its attack power would be reduced in places without snow.

“Clear the snow, clear the snow first!”

Amidst shouts, various cleaning spells were cast, and a large area in front of the castle was cleared.

Douglas stood on the steps of the auditorium and stopped Mr. Filch who was about to go over and scold him.

"Haha, let them clean up the snow while they're having fun. Wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?"

Mr. Filch looked at the cleared space and thought about how long it usually took him to finish sweeping. He couldn't help but envy them for how quickly they cleaned it.

He felt very sad when he thought about how he had been taking the correspondence course on fast spell casting for such a long time but still had no trace of being able to use magic.

If he hadn't seen that there were actually Squibs who learned magic through this class, he would have given up this unrealistic idea long ago.

(The Fast Spell Correspondence Course is an introductory course on magic produced by the Fast Spell Company. However, in reality, this course is ineffective for real Squibs, as real Squibs have no magical abilities at all. Those who can be inspired by this course are still wizards in essence, but they are so clumsy that they behave like Squibs.)

No matter whether they used fire spells or various attack magics, they could not stop the attack of the snow monster. Even their fire spells were directly extinguished by the snow of the snow monster.

Since the snow monster kept moving towards the snowy areas, they could only follow behind and clear all the snowy areas nearby.

Soon the snow on the road from Hogwarts Castle to the Hogwarts gate was cleared.

Seeing this scene, Douglas, who had been watching, silently put away the wand in his hand.

George and Fred keenly noticed that the snow monster was in a daze.

The two of them worked together to cast a swamp spell in an attempt to trap the snow monster.

But the power of the spell they used was still too weak. The swamp spell only caused the snow monster's two hind hooves to sink into the swamp, and they only sank twenty centimeters.
