Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Chapter 125 Voldemort's face is on the ground

The third person to come in was Seamus Finnigan, whom Douglas had comforted psychologically in advance.

Because this was not the first time that Seamus had demonstrated his art of explosion in class. Before, a simple Extraction Spell could blow Grindylow's arm into pieces. If he exploded this Boggart again, Douglas would have to take the rest of the students to explore the castle and find another Boggart.

As the box opened, a female ghost with long hair that dragged on the ground, a face like a skull, and a green glow crawled out. As the female ghost opened her mouth wide, a strange and terrifying voice suddenly echoed in the empty classroom.

The sharp, long cry made Douglas's scalp tingle.

What's even worse is that as the ghost girl screamed, Simo also let out a strange cry of terror.

Seamus did not disappoint Douglas. He raised his wand and shouted:

"Funny!"

Suddenly, the ghost grabbed her throat and made a hoarse and harsh sound. Then, with a bang, she turned into a mouse chasing its own tail in circles...

Then, boom, the mouse turned into a rattlesnake again...

Douglas quickly waved his wand, and the Boggart, transformed into a rattlesnake, swam quickly into the box. He was worried that if Seamus continued to play around, the next bang might be the sound of the Boggart exploding.

"Mr. Finnigan is excellent! Congratulations on passing the challenge."

When Ron came in, the Boggart turned into a giant spider covered with hair, six feet tall, and rushed towards Ron aggressively.

This frightened Ron so much that he completely forgot that he was a wizard and started running.

When he ran to the other end of the classroom, he saw Douglas's dissatisfied look standing in the corner of the classroom, and it seemed that he remembered what this thing was.

Then he raised his wand and cried tremblingly, "Funny!"

Maybe because he was too nervous, the Boggart first turned into a teddy bear and then slowly the teddy bear turned into a spider.

Ron's face turned even paler.

Seeing the spider approaching, Douglas had to take action and force the Boggart back into the box.

Then he walked to the corner, helped Ron, who was slumped on the ground gasping for breath, and handed him a piece of chocolate.

"Have some chocolate to lighten your mood!

Don't feel bad, just stay calm next time and you'll be able to cast your best spell."

Ron nodded slowly, then walked out of the classroom step by step.

Next up is Harry.

When he came in and saw Ron's expression, he felt uneasy.

He had not yet figured out how to deal with Voldemort, who had transformed from the Boggart. Yes, Harry felt that the person he feared most was Voldemort.

Douglas is also looking forward to what Harry's Boggart will become. After all, it is a year earlier than in the original book, and he has not yet encountered the Dementors.

As soon as the box was opened, a hideous and terrifying face floated out. The face was as white as chalk, its eyes shone red, and its nostrils were as thin as two snakes.

Just like that, a face floated in the air and said in a sinister voice, "Harry Potter!"

Harry gritted his teeth and stared at the face with his eyes red.

Then he turned his head to look at Douglas who was watching the show in the corner, and found that the professor was not at all panicked when he saw the legendary Voldemort, and he felt a little bit of admiration in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt relieved. He turned around, waved his wand, and shouted:

"Funny!"

Suddenly, a thin and short snake body grew under Voldemort's face.

"thump!"

Voldemort's face fell directly from mid-air to the ground, and because his face was many times larger than the snake's body, it was unable to support itself.

So my whole face hit the ground and I couldn't lift my head up.

Then I saw a round, bald head like a boiled egg, crawling forward while twisting its tiny snake body, with its face rubbing against the ground the whole time. This was really Voldemort.

Harry laughed his ass off.

Douglas couldn't help but applaud and shout 6.

Time passed little by little, and finally only one student, Hermione Granger, was left.

Douglas never expected that he was still laughing at Snape when Neville came on stage.

It turned out that the person Hermione was most afraid of was herself. He looked at the other self who walked out of the box and said to Hermione with a gloomy face:

"Ms. Granger, because your grades are so poor, I will be revoking your title as class representative..."

"You will be expelled for violating too many school rules..."

Then he saw Hermione covering her face and crying. Douglas's mouth twitched, thinking, am I that scary? I scared the little girl to tears as soon as I appeared?

Neville didn't cry when Snape appeared.

But after waiting for two minutes, she heard Douglas, who had turned into a Boggart, criticizing Hermione, and Hermione cried louder and louder, saying, "I'm sorry, Professor Holmes, I'm sorry..."

Douglas glanced at the classroom door. Fortunately, there was soundproofing magic, otherwise others would think he had done something to the little girl.

Finally, Douglas had no choice but to wave his wand, and the Boggart turned into him with a charming smile, like a peacock spreading its tail tail, and walked towards the box arrogantly, then closed the box himself.

Then he walked over to Hermione and comforted her:

"Ahem, Miss Granger, don't worry. I promise you that this scene will never happen in reality."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione cried even harder.

Douglas was left at a loss. Although he was good at dealing with people, he was definitely not good at dealing with crying female students.

It’s not appropriate to talk about reason at this time.

I am a professor and the other person is a student, and I can't coax her like I would a girl of the same age, otherwise it would seem too vulgar.

You can't just give me a piece of candy, right?

Douglas took out a piece of chocolate and handed it over:

"When you're feeling down, have a piece of chocolate!"

After saying that, he stuffed it into Hermione's hands without caring whether the other party accepted it or not.

It was only then that Douglas saw Hermione's flushed face, and he felt something was wrong.

Hermione was stunned for a moment after receiving the chocolate, then noticed that the professor was looking at her and immediately said:

"Thank you Professor!"

After saying that, he stood up and ran out of the classroom.

Seeing this situation, Douglas suddenly realized that he might have been tricked.

Hermione was really scared and crying at first, but later she was probably more embarrassed. After all, she was most afraid that her real self was there, so she had to cry to cover up her embarrassment.

Douglas smiled, then checked the time and saw that he still had a few minutes.

So he called all the students outside in and assigned them some homework.

When Douglas heard them discussing what they were most afraid of, he was speechless.

They are indeed still children. I think about protecting their privacy, but they turn around and tell others what they fear the most.

He even heard Neville, upon learning that many people had failed the challenge, begin to recount his experience of dealing with Snape, arousing the envy and jealousy of everyone.

Even Harry wanted to try it again, to see if he could replace the person he was most afraid of with Snape and make him crawl on the ground too.

What could Douglas say? He could only silently wish everyone good luck.

The news of the second and third years' fight against the Boggart spread like wildfire, and it became a popular topic in the castle to discuss how to prank the person they feared the most.

Because the last level of the fourth grade practical class was Boggart, Ron and Ginny took advantage of the heated discussion and took great pains to get George and Fred to reveal that the person they feared most was actually their own mother.

This seemed to give Ron an advantage, and he wanted to threaten his brother to buy him something delicious.

It turns out George and Fred weren't buying it at all.

"Poor brother, we didn't get Mom drunk or turned into a spider!"

"We changed Mom into a very fancy dress and she looked very happy."

“Of course, we are very happy too…”

Ron said to Harry angrily:

"I swear, they are absolutely not telling the truth...

I must catch them, and maybe then I can overcome my fear of spiders!"

Harry patted his friend's shoulder, silently comforting him.

Ron's fear of spiders stems from the fact that George and Fred turned his favorite teddy bear into a spider when he was a child.

So, ever since finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ron had always wanted to use the things George and Fred feared the most to play a prank on them. Perhaps only in this way could he untie his knot.

But Harry felt that only Professor Holmes could play a prank on the Weasley twins.

Thinking of this, he patted Ron's shoulder again.

Chapter 126: Ten thousand points can remove the curse

What Douglas didn't expect was that quite a few of Slytherin's Boggarts turned into Professor Snape.

He had thought Gryffindor had the most.

It can be seen that Snape is usually very strict in Slytherin.

Because he didn't want to show off, Harry always told others that what he encountered was a huge snake with glowing red eyes.

This made some Slytherin students very happy when they heard it, and they even started plotting when to get another snake to scare Harry.

Because in Potions class, those Slytherins who turned Boggart into Professor Snape and spread the news were treated no worse than Neville.

Regardless of whether they had good grades in Potions class or not, those people were punished by Professor Snape to learn how to cut vegetables and prepare potions from Harry.

This was perhaps the only time Harry could legitimately manage the Slytherin students in Potions class.

Although he endured Snape's various venomous words and targeting, he turned around and targeted the Slytherins who were also practicing making potions.

"Goyle, it seems that you follow your Master Malfoy every day, but he hasn't taught you how to dice and cut into pieces. Cut everything again!"

"What are you looking at? Do you want Professor Snape to come and visit?"

After class, Harry kept telling Ron and Hermione how great it felt.

Compared to the interesting practical classes in lower grades, grades four and five are more painful.

When Douglas walked into the classroom with their test papers the following week, they felt the temperature in the classroom drop by several degrees.

"Look at what you guys answered? Most of you just did multiple choice and true/false questions, not a single essay question...

Not enough time? Then why do some students have time to write some short-answer questions, but you can't?

You are the worst class I have ever seen!"

"Classmates, time is running out!"

The students in the class were so scared that they dared not speak.

No one dared to refute.

But outside the class everyone was discussing:

"Is the professor crazy? How can anyone finish hundreds of questions in two and a half hours?"

"Didn't he only teach our class?"

"Oh, so he said he'd seen it, not taken it... The problem is, we're only in fourth grade!"

"I suddenly feel that Professor Snape is friendlier than Professor Holmes!"

"No, I heard from my fifth year that Professor Snape is scarier than Professor Holmes!"

Mid-January.

Professor McGonagall organized a teachers' meeting regarding the exam results at the end of last semester.

Let Douglas talk about his teaching ideas and question-setting methods. After all, everyone has witnessed the learning atmosphere and academic performance of Defense Against the Dark Arts last semester.

It is worth mentioning that Professor Cuthbert Binns, the only ghost professor in Hogwarts, who always disliked seeing Douglas, also attended the meeting.
