Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

But this matter can be big or small. Anyway, the door was not opened, so it is not a big deal.

He didn't want to argue with the two kids about this, and he wasn't interested in knowing the real reason. 'When asked once, they admit their mistakes, but when asked again, they refuse to change.' Everyone goes through this stage.

So Douglas only imposed a simple punishment on this matter:

"Humph, you should be thankful that you were stupid enough to leave the main door unopened. If you had gone in, you would have faced the principal and the four deans.

In the next two days, you will write a self-review of all the mistakes you have made since entering the wizarding world. The content should not be less than five feet long. Hermione, you will supervise them personally and hand the self-review to Professor McGonagall before leaving school.

Ron was about to cry. Not only were points deducted, but they also assigned homework. We had just finished the exam.

Harry wanted to explain, but Hermione held him back.

When they reached the door, Douglas suddenly thought of something, and quickly called Harry, then took out the tattered diary from a drawer.

"Harry, take off one of your socks and put it in this notebook."

As she said that, she threw the diary to him. Harry didn't understand why, but he still handed the diary to Hermione beside him and reached out to take off his socks.

Hermione took the diary and carefully read the words on the cover. Suddenly, her pupils dilated and her face was filled with shock.

Harry took off his socks, took the diary and stuffed it in.

But seeing Hermione's expression, he asked doubtfully:

"what happened?"

Hermione ignored him and asked Douglas tremblingly:

"Is this the mysterious man's thing?"

Harry also quickly looked at the cover of the diary, and carefully identified the few remaining words, and found that it was indeed Voldemort's thing.

He quickly asked:

"Professor, why..."

Douglas waved his hand, and the diary with the smelly socks flew straight to the bottom of the bookshelf.

"Why so many whys? I want to disgust Voldemort with your stinky socks, can't I? It's getting late, let's go. If you ask one more question, the homework check will be one foot longer..."

As soon as Douglas finished speaking, Ron, who had been standing at the door, disappeared in a flash.

Chapter 141: Sniffing for Wealth

After a few people left, Douglas compiled all the results, graded them, and finally handed them to Professor McGonagall according to grade.

When Professor McGonagall mails the shopping list for next semester to the students, she will also send the final transcript.

In previous years, only O.L. and T. exam results were mailed to students, but since the results were mailed once at the end of the first semester, the overall response has been very good.

Many parents also sent letters to Hogwarts, saying that this method is very good. Of course, some parents wrote to question the professors after seeing their children's grades.

Don't doubt the acceptance of this kind of thing by parents in the magical world. They have been tearing umbrellas for hundreds or even thousands of years. For example, almost all little wizards don't know how to be sorted into houses before they enter school. What a tacit understanding this is.

The next morning, Douglas went to the care of Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn of Magical Biology, on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Because Professor Kettleburn was planning to retire, Douglas prepared a gift.

When he arrived at the Forbidden Forest Lodge, he unexpectedly found that Headmaster Dumbledore was also there.

When Dumbledore saw the box in Douglas's hand, he smiled and said to Professor Kettleburn who was trying to walk:

"Sylva, it seems our Douglas has also prepared a gift for you."

When Douglas saw the set of enchanted wooden prostheses on Professor Kettleburn, he suddenly looked embarrassed. What should he do if the gift he gave was the same as the one given to his leader?

He said stubbornly:

"Professor, I have prepared a gift for you, but...but this gift may be a bit duplicate of Professor Dumbledore's."

Professor Kettleburn, who was always carefree, said nonchalantly:

"Haha, that doesn't matter. I was just telling Albus that I want to spend some time in the Fire Dragon District after I retire. These wooden prostheses may need to be replaced frequently..."

Dumbledore also smiled and said:

"Douglas has his own unique approach and insights into alchemy..."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Douglas smiled, then opened the box. Inside was a silver mechanical arm and leg, which looked much more exquisite than the wooden prosthesis Dumbledore had given him.

This thing was a mechanical prosthesis from the technological world that he bought directly from the system mall using his points, and then modified it with magic.

Originally, the system also had magical prostheses that were suitable for this world, but after Douglas purchased it, he found that it involved dark magic and even soul magic. He suspected that the magical prosthesis was the one that Voldemort would give to Peter Pettigrew in the future.

He pulled out the arm and thigh, which happened to be Professor Kettleburn's missing arm and leg.

Seeing this thing, Dumbledore's eyes lit up. He took the arm and looked at it carefully, then looked at Douglas and said:

"Douglas, this thing doesn't look like goblin craftsmanship, it looks more like the style of the Muggle world..."

Douglas nodded and explained as he helped Professor Kettleburn put on the prosthesis:

"The inspiration comes from some technological fantasies in the Muggle world, but the core content has been replaced with magical materials... What do you think, Professor?"

Kettleburn found that when the prosthetic limb was connected to the body, he felt like it was his own arm, and the same was true for his legs...

Just as Professor Kettleburn was trying out the mechanical prosthesis, Dumbledore suddenly asked Douglas:

"Douglas, the vacation is about to end. What are your plans for the future?"

Douglas looked at Dumbledore and blinked:

"Professor, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Am I not a regular employee yet?"

Dumbledore choked when he heard this and smiled awkwardly:

"Haha, Douglas, in my mind, you've already been a formal professor, and your treatment is no different from that of a formal professor, right?

And your contribution to Hogwarts is obvious to everyone. You found Tom's dark magic items, discovered Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and formulated a plan to capture the basilisk...

Although I hate to admit it, you should have heard of the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, there is a little problem..."

Douglas nodded. He understood what Dumbledore meant, but he didn't want to say that he had broken the curse. After all, Dumbledore was just guessing about the curse and hadn't made any real discovery.

"Professor, I know what you mean, but I still want to stay in this position. I think it suits me very well..."

Dumbledore nodded and did not try to persuade him further. He had been the headmaster for so many years and this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

As a result, those dedicated professors would eventually be unable to continue their teaching due to some unexpected reasons during the summer vacation.

For example, Dumbledore did not receive the resignation letter from Douglas's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor during his third year before the start of his fourth year. Dumbledore thought that there was finally an exception.

As a result, the other party did not report to school three days after school started, and Dumbledore had to temporarily find an old friend for help.

Then he mobilized some friends in the magic world to search for the other party's whereabouts. At the end of the second semester, the other party finally walked out of an ancient magical ruin. He had been trapped for almost a year.

So no matter what Douglas said, Dumbledore made up his mind to look for new professors in advance during the summer vacation.

Professor Kettleburn was able to adapt quickly. After a while, he was not only able to use the entire mechanical prosthesis flexibly, but he even discovered some spells that Douglas had added to the mechanical arm.

While Douglas and Dumbledore were chatting, Kettleburn came out of his hut with a young Niffler crawling on the mechanical arm, as if trying to pull the silver arm off.

"Douglas, you came at the right time. We just had a litter a while ago, and this little guy is a bit unsociable, so I brought him out to raise him separately. I remember you wanted to raise a Niffler when you were in school... Oh, little cutie, come down quickly..."

Douglas touched his nose unconsciously when he heard Professor Kettleburn's words.

He had just heard from his students some time ago that the sniffle raised by the old professor had given birth to a litter of little sniffles, and only then did he remember that the professor would retire at the end of this semester.

And I came here today with this mechanical prosthesis, not really intending to raise a new Niffler.

Especially Dumbledore's smiling face beside him made Douglas feel that his reputation was completely ruined...

However, he happily lured the little Niffler over with a gold Galleon.

Xiu Xiu turned his head and saw the gold Galleon. His small black eyes widened. Then he jumped onto Douglas' shoulder at lightning speed and successfully grabbed the gold Galleon in mid-air.

He impatiently grabbed the gold coins and stuffed them into his pocket, then jumped back onto Professor Kettleburn's mechanical arm to continue dealing with the big guy.

As a result, as soon as he jumped up the second time, he was caught by Douglas in mid-air. The short-limbed Niffler struggled angrily in the air.

Douglas smiled and took out another gold Galleon, tossing it back and forth in front of Sniff. Sniff stretched out his short arms vigorously towards the thrown gold Galleon, making everyone laugh.

Kettleburn smiled and said:

"Douglas, you have to think carefully. Nifflers are not easy to keep, especially at home. He might hide all your gold coins."

Douglas said happily:

"It's ok!"

As he said this, he gave the gold Galleon directly to Sniffus. When Sniffus put the gold Galleon into his pocket, Douglas took out another one and this time gave it directly to Sniffus generously.

After Niffler grabbed the gold coin, Douglas placed it on his palm.

This time, the released Sniff did not run away. Instead, he stared at Douglas with his eyes wide open. However, his dishonest eyes kept glancing at Douglas' pocket from time to time.

Kettleburn said:

"It seems you really know Sniff. I haven't named this little cutie yet..."

This time, Douglas took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Sniff. Sniff hesitated for a moment, then grabbed it and ate it.

He said to the little guy:

"Little guy, from today on, your name is Wangcai. Follow me and I will ensure you have delicious food and spicy drinks..."

Because the two words "Wangcai" were said directly in Chinese, Dumbledore and Kettleburn on the side did not understand what they meant, so Douglas explained it to them again.

Wangcai, who was standing by, seemed to like the name very much after hearing the explanation. He jumped directly from Douglas's hand into his arms and slowly slid down his clothes into his pocket...

Kettleburn looked at Dumbledore at this time:

"Albus, do you want one?"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. Both Douglas and Kettleburn saw an inexplicable look in his eyes.

When they finally left, Wangcai finally poked his head out of Douglas's pocket and waved to Kettleburn with tears in his eyes. It was the gold coin in his mouth that spoiled the mood.

Chapter 142 Hufflepuff Graduation Party

After returning to the office, Douglas immediately bought a bronze artifact in the shape of a cornucopia with a historical heritage (the original color of the bronze artifact was golden yellow, but this one is bluish-black) from the system mall.

The handles on both sides of the treasure bowl are carved with lifelike Ruyi shapes. In addition to the cloud patterns on the bowl, there are sixteen fierce-looking oriental dragons surrounding the three flamboyant seal characters "cornucopia" in the center.

Douglas chose this color because he was going to make a nest for Wangcai. If he chose brighter materials, he was worried that Wangcai would put the nest into his pocket.

Douglas added an infinite stretch spell to the cornucopia and took out a specially made fake gold galleon and threw it in.

This fake gold Galleon is fixed with a copying spell, and it is bound to the cornucopia. Unless the spell is lifted, it cannot be taken out of the cornucopia.

As long as a living organism touches it, it will continuously replicate fake gold galleons. If it is released, the replication will stop. The replicated fake gold galleons will only exist for ten hours.

Douglas felt that with this gold coin, no matter how playful Wangcai was, he would obediently return to the golden nest he had built for him.

After finishing, Douglas took Wangcai out of his pocket.

Being dragged to an unfamiliar environment, Wangcai seemed a little uneasy and kept struggling. When he saw Douglas, Wangcai's first reaction was to cover his pockets and look at Douglas with an innocent face.

Douglas was touched by the cute expression, so he grabbed Wangcai's legs and shook them hard in the air.

I saw a lot of things falling out from the magic pocket in front of Wangcai, filling up most of the desk.

Douglas discovered that in addition to the gold coins and trinkets originally in his pocket, there were also unicorn horns, mithril arrowheads, rings, golden bells...

Douglas was sure that Professor Celtburn definitely forgot to check this guy's pockets before giving Wangcai to him.

He selected some of the more valuable items and planned to return them to Professor Keltburn or to their original owners.

After finishing the selection, Wangcai was placed on the table. As soon as Wangcai landed on the table, he hurriedly grabbed the things into his arms. If Douglas hadn't stopped him in time, Wangcai would have even thought of taking away his beautiful metal feather pens.

Finally, Douglas threw Wangcai into the treasure bowl and let it play by itself. As soon as he threw it in, he heard the sound of gold coins surging in the treasure bowl...

In just one afternoon, Douglas became familiar with Wangcai.

In the afternoon, Douglas went to the kitchen and prepared a few dishes for the Hufflepuff graduation farewell party in the evening.

Then he took Wangcai and walked towards the Hufflepuff common room.

Hogwarts did not have a graduation farewell party. The Hufflepuff House graduation farewell party was only organized when Douglas was the prefect.

Since it was an internal party of the college, only Hufflepuff students and the headmaster attended.

Douglas had just graduated and was the organizer of the farewell party, so he was invited.
