Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Snape raised his eyebrows and said sneerfully:

"You can make delicious food with anything, so why are you troubled by a mere snake skin? I have two snake monster fangs here. Do you want to try them?"

Before Douglas could speak, Fudge on the side smiled and said:

"Professor Holmes, you may have misunderstood. The basilisk is not dead. Professor Scamander needed a living basilisk to do some research, so he only destroyed the fangs and eyes of the basilisk..."

Otherwise, with the ability of Professor Snape and the elite Aurors, how could they be injured by a mere basilisk?"

Newt also nodded and said:

"Professor Dumbledore helped me to place the basilisk. Because the cultivation of the basilisk is quite special and rare, I asked everyone to capture it alive and want to study it in depth..."

Douglas touched his nose embarrassedly, then smiled and said to Newt:

"Professor, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation. I don't think you would refuse my visit."

Newt said without hesitation:

"I refuse! My little things can't stand your tossing..."

At this time, a phoenix cry was heard, and Dumbledore appeared at the entrance of the cave, holding Fawkes' feet, with a suitcase in his hand.

"Newt, this contains a basilisk..."

When Fudge saw Dumbledore coming up, he told the Aurors and the Dangerous Creatures Committee to leave together. After all, Newt had spoken and Dumbledore had made a promise, so these people did not insist on getting rid of the basilisk.

Lucius Malfoy seemed to have forgotten that he came with them...

When Tonks learned that the basilisk had been taken away by Newt, she felt somewhat disappointed.

But in the end, Douglas gave her an updated cookbook, and she left happily, without even remembering to treat Douglas to dinner.

When Scrimgeour finally left, he suddenly asked Douglas:

"Want to fuck an Auror?"

Douglas laughed and declined.

As the people from the Ministry of Magic left, everyone discovered a new problem: the door to the Chamber of Secrets couldn't be closed...

Snape played the entire Parseltongue recording without any intention of closing the door of the Chamber of Secrets.

Everyone looked at Dumbledore again, and Dumbledore patted Newt on the shoulder:

"The portkey time is almost up, I have to take you back quickly. If I'm late, Tina (Tina Goldstein) will be worried."

(A portkey is a magical object that transports anyone who touches it to a designated location. The creation of a portkey may also require authorization from the Portkey Office within the Department of Magical Transportation.)

Newt's attention was focused on the box. Suddenly, he heard Dumbledore mention his wife, and he panicked. He seemed to have not yet told her that he was going to bring a giant snake back...

Before leaving, Dumbledore said to everyone and Douglas:

“Oh, by the way, let Douglas handle this matter.

Douglas, please come to my office later. I have something to tell you."

Then everyone looked at Douglas again, and Snape said with a smile:

"Douglas, you can ask that Parseltongue to come out now..."

The Bloody Baron stood behind Snape, rattling his chain, as if he could do something to Douglas if he didn't cooperate with him.

The other professors stood back tacitly and watched the show.

Everyone is used to the fact that these two people would argue with each other whenever they meet. As long as they don't fight, everything is fine.

Douglas asked curiously:

"The people from the Ministry of Magic were here just now. I didn't ask any more questions. Professor, have you found any treasures left by Salazar Slytherin down there?"

Snape snorted coldly:

"Humph, what does this have to do with you?"

Douglas narrowed his eyes and said tentatively:

“Since the basilisk is no longer inside, I don’t think we need to cover up the entrance to this secret room.

If there is no treasure inside, I think it can be converted into a practice base in the future.

Professors of various subjects can set up their own levels in it, allowing students to learn through practice..."

Professor McGonagall frowned and said:

"The basilisk has been eliminated, but we don't know if there are any other mechanisms inside.

As for the treasure, Albus went down there alone just now. Since he didn't say anything, he probably didn't find anything.

But Douglas, your idea is really good. I think if we have time, we professors can go down there alone to clear the mechanisms and so on. What do you think, Severus?"

Professor McGonagall looked finally at Professor Snape.

Snape said expressionlessly:

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets is also Hogwarts property. If he has no objection, then I certainly have no objection either. However, this door can't be left open like this. What do you think, Professor Holmes?"

Douglas understood. The reason why Dumbledore was allowed to go down alone to catch the basilisk was definitely because Snape and the others had not found anything other than the basilisk, so they found an opportunity to let Dumbledore go down. He smiled and said:

"That's easy, can't we just replace the magic here?

I don’t think anyone would think they are weaker than Salazar Slytherin, not to mention that this place is probably not his magic, it was set up by his descendants…”

The Bloody Baron said angrily:

"Slytherin is the greatest wizard, no one after him can compare to him!"

No one, including Snape, paid any attention to him.

After all, everyone here is a top master in their respective industries, and no one would think that they are weaker than their predecessors.

Chapter 151 Six generations of Muggles

After dealing with the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, Douglas went directly to Dumbledore's office.

"Professor, is there anything else you want to arrange?"

Dumbledore took out a thick envelope that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Douglas.

Then he began to explain:

“I originally wanted to give you this gift on your birthday, but I hesitated at that time.

Through some channels, I know about your attitude towards your Muggle relatives, so I have been hesitant to tell you, but from your neighbors...

Douglas, please forgive me for investigating you for some things without your permission..."

Douglas frowned slightly, thinking, "You've already completed your investigation. What else can I say? Why is background checks becoming a trend at Hogwarts?"

He opened the envelope. The first piece of parchment recorded his paternal family tree. He didn't see any problems. There were no familiar names on it. All six generations of his ancestors were Muggles.

On the second sheet of paper, there was a record of his maternal family relationships, and there was also no... Wait, he was in the column of his grandmother's sisters, and looking up, there was a note behind his grandmother's grandfather: "Squib," and above that, there was a note: "Dumbledore"...

Douglas was not too shocked. Any Muggle-born wizard must have a wizard ancestor. He just didn't expect that his wizard bloodline came from the Dumbledore family.

He looked at Dumbledore in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Dumbledore followed Douglas's gaze and understood what he saw. He happily explained:

"Oh, that's a cousin of my father's. My father said that because he was a Squib, he had been living in the Muggle world and changed his last name. But that's not the point. You should read on..."

Douglas did not worry about his relationship with the Dumbledore family. After all, the blood relationship was too far apart, and it was still maternal blood.

Moreover, he belonged to the Holmes family. If Dumbledore wanted to use this to make him call him ancestor, it would be absolutely impossible.

He looked down along the relationship line...

He knew the Evans...

Petunia Dursley/Lily Potter?

Dudley Dursley/Harry Potter!!!

He looked at Dumbledore in shock.

Dumbledore just nodded at him with a smile on his face. It seemed to him that Douglas was shocked that he had a blood relative in the wizarding world, even though their blood relationship was not particularly close.

But Douglas was shocked to find that he was actually related to the protagonist of this world, although it was only a maternal relationship.

After careful calculation, he realized that he was not too far away, nor too close, so he should be Harry's distant cousin.

He looked at Dumbledore, not understanding what he meant. Did he want to change the guardian?

Dumbledore was pleased to see that Douglas quickly recovered from his shock.

18 Rose Road, Surrey, the Holmes family home.

It had been two days since Douglas returned to the Muggle world.

He kept thinking about Dumbledore's last words to him.

The general meaning is that Harry is a poor child. Because he lives in the home of his aunt who doesn't like wizards, he cannot feel the existence of family love, so the child is very eager for family love.

I hope Douglas can take more care of Harry in this regard and give him some warmth from his family, but before Harry turns 17, he still needs to stay at his aunt's house for a period of time every summer vacation.

Of course, Dumbledore finally said that he respected Douglas's opinion in everything. He did not tell Harry about this information. Whether to disclose it to Harry was entirely up to his own will.

Douglas was still hesitant about this. After being alone for so many years, he had become accustomed to it and did not long for family affection. But when he thought about having a nephew named Harry, it seemed that it would be okay.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Before Douglas stood up, Dobby, who was writing his career plan for the third time with a sad face, quickly put down his pen and ran to the door.

Douglas smiled when he saw Dobby's expression.

He cast one-way blurring magic and Muggle-repelling spells on the doors and windows. No one except wizards could touch his door, and Muggles passing by on the street could not see what was going on inside the house even through the open door.

If a Muggle neighbor came to look for him, he would suddenly have all kinds of reasons to leave when he came within one meter of the house, but the mailbox at the door had no effect.

So the one who can knock on the door must be a wizard...

Just as he stood up, a cry of surprise came from the door.

Dobby trembled all over and bowed to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger. Dobby scared Miss Granger... Dobby should punish himself, but the boss won't let him... It's all Dobby's fault..."

Douglas stood up and said to Dobby:

"Dobby, go make three cups of tea!"

When Dobby heard about making tea, he immediately smiled and said:

"Okay, boss!"

This was his rare job, and for two days now, his boss hadn't let him do anything but write a career plan. If his handwriting was ugly, he had to rewrite it. If it was too short, he had to rewrite it. Dobi felt that writing was much harder than doing housework...

Douglas let the Granger family in.

The Grans carefully walked into the house carrying the gifts, their eyes always looking towards the kitchen where Dobby was.

Hermione asked doubtfully:

"Professor, I seem to have heard Harry mention Dobby. He is your..."

Douglas smiled and pointed at the sofa and said:

"Sit down first, we'll talk slowly."

Mrs. Granger placed her gift on the tea table and said with a smile:

"Last time I saw you liked Chinese food, this is the dim sum I learned from a Chinese client. Please teach you how to make it."

Douglas looked very interested, which finally put the Grangers' hearts at ease.

Not to mention the gift inside, the packaging alone is very exquisite. It uses the latest laser paper developed in the Muggle world, which looks sparkling...

Just as Douglas sensed something was wrong, he saw Wangcai quickly crawl out of the treasure bowl and drool at the glittering box.

Hermione exclaimed:

"It's a Niffler! When did the professor get a Niffler? I've only seen it in books."

Douglas smiled and said:

"This was given to me by Professor Kettleburn. It's called Wangcai."
