Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Just when he was about to reach out...

The painting suddenly opened from the inside like a door.

Along with the sound of the door opening came a sharp voice:

"Mr. Holmes, Qian heard your voice, Qian... Qian couldn't help it."

I saw a house-elf who was about two feet tall, less than two and a half feet, thin and small, wearing a scarf with the Hogwarts emblem as clothes, and had ears as big as a bat.

A pair of eyes were like glass balls, emerald green, and the size of a child's fist.

These eyes alone take up two-thirds of the head.

Moreover, his eyeballs were protruding from his eye sockets. If it weren't for his big nose supporting them, Douglas felt that his eyes would fall out at any time.

When the house-elf across the street saw Douglas, he screamed excitedly.

Then, the house-elf seemed to be frightened and held onto the wall, about to bang his head against it.

Douglas saw that the other person's expression was not right, and quickly pulled him back...

It is located next to the Hufflepuff common room and directly below the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Excellent location, huge kitchen.

The other shore for night travelers and paradise for gluttons.

House elves make you look noble.

After entering the kitchen, there were at least a hundred elves standing in front of four long tables similar to those in the hall above.

When they saw Douglas, they all smiled, bowed respectfully and knelt down.

Qian led Douglas towards the small kitchen, which was a corner of the kitchen.

At this moment, several house-elves hurried up from the side, holding a large silver tray in their hands.

On top of it was a cup of brewed tea and a plate of freshly baked snacks.

These were all made by Douglas who had taught the house elves.

Seeing the house-elves looking at him expectantly, Douglas picked up a piece of tea and put it in his mouth.

Although it was not as authentic as what he ate when he traveled to Hong Kong.

But the taste is still very good.

Seeing Douglas's good expression, the house-elf couldn't hide his happiness.

Place snacks and tea on the table nearby.

Several house-elves bowed and retreated.

Chapter 14 Douglas's forgotten story

Inside the Hogwarts greenhouse.

Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and said to Professor Sprout, who was squatting in the field arranging magical plants:

"Pomona, Mr. Holmes has gone to the kitchen!"

At this time, Sprout was wearing a thick hat full of patches and had some mud on his body.

She squatted beside a Gordigen plant and rolled her eyes at her old best friend without getting up.

"Minerva, you're cheating. I haven't even met Douglas yet!"

Professor McGonagall shrugged and said nonchalantly:

"I didn't stop this outstanding Hufflepuff student from coming to you!

Anyway, you lost, so you need to give me half of your fruit supply this semester..."

Professor Sprout snorted in dissatisfaction, but nodded anyway.

Hufflepuffs never lack fruit.

She originally thought that Douglas would come to visit her first after arriving at school, but who knew that after such a long time, he still didn't come to see her.

Alas, it seems like he is the same as many graduated wizards.

After graduation, I forgot about my teacher.

"Yawn~"

Douglas, who was far away in the Hogwarts kitchen, had just sprinkled chili powder into the pot.

Just a sneeze.

"It seems that this chili is good and flavorful!"

Soon it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

After Douglas prepared the meal, he went back to his dormitory first, and then came to the staff lounge.

When he came in, the Hogwarts professors were already seated at the round table in the middle.

The table was already filled with various dishes.

Next to Dumbledore sat Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.

Professor Sprout was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick was sitting next to Professor Snape.

There was an empty seat next to Professor Sprout, and next to him was Astronomy Professor Aurora Sinistra, and Ancient Runes Professor Bathsheda Barbling, and so on...

After seeing Douglas, Professor Sprout smiled gently and then stood up.

Douglas quickly walked over and gave Professor Sprout a big hug.

Then he didn't sit down immediately.

He took out a copy of "Experiments on Plant Hybridization" by Muggle scholar Mendel from his bag and gave it to Sprout.

Herbology in the magical world has not changed much in hundreds of years, and the varieties planted and cultivated are still those from hundreds of years ago.

But Douglas felt the lovable master of herbalism could go further.

After Sprout took the book, he found that he knew every word on it, but he couldn't figure out what they meant when they were put together.

But she did not reject this work by a Muggle scholar. Instead, she was very grateful to Douglas for giving her this very suitable gift.

Douglas did not immediately resolve Professor Sprout's doubts.

Instead, he immediately took out other prepared gifts from his bag and gave them to the professors present.

Yes, only official Hogwarts professors attended this party, with the exception of Professor Binns, Professor of History of Magic.

For example, other staff members of Hogwarts Castle, such as Hagrid, Filch, Madam Hoch, and Madam Pince, did not come to participate.

Douglas gave gifts to almost every professor, except for the professor of Muggle Studies who was new after he graduated.

The others were his former teachers.

As a new colleague, Douglas was also very popular. Even Professor Snape, who disliked him the most, accepted the books on laboratory management he gave him proudly after being persuaded by Dumbledore.

Especially the photos of spotless and bright laboratories.

This was highly recognized by Snape, who always had strict requirements for potions.

It was soon seven o'clock in the evening.

All the professors went to the school auditorium to welcome the start of the new school year.

The entire hall was magnificent, although no students had arrived at the four long tables yet.

But the table was already laden with golden plates and goblets, gleaming in the light of thousands of candles.

All the teachers were seated on a platform above the restaurant.

Dumbledore sat in the middle with an expressionless face, seemingly thinking about something.

Douglas sat next to Professor Sprout and asked him for some teaching tips.

Before he knew it, the Hufflepuff's ghost, the fat monk, also appeared from the table and greeted Douglas.

Soon a group of students came in and sat down at their respective dean's desks.

The quiet hall suddenly became lively.

Douglas took a quick look and found many familiar faces here.

After all, he had been away from Hogwarts for three years, and there were still many younger students here who had seen him.

Apparently, some of the fifth, sixth, and seventh graders recognized him as well.

Everyone was discussing the matter below, and was very surprised that he could become a professor at Hogwarts after only three years of graduation.

You know, in Douglas' class, there was a top student named Bill who was suppressing him.

So Douglas was not the best student.

Douglas ignored the discussion below and continued to look around.

When Douglas saw the Gryffindor table, he was stunned and took another closer look.

It is true that neither Harry Potter nor Ron was found among the younger students.

Damn it, Douglas suddenly vaguely remembered that in the original book, Harry and Ron couldn't get on the Hogwarts Express normally because of the house-elf Dobby.

Finally, I chose to drive and fly over from the air.

During the dinner, Douglas remembered that Harry mentioned Dobby, but he thought that he had asked the Weasley family to avoid conflict with Lucius, and with the Weasley family accompanying him, nothing should go wrong.

Of course, it was also because he really couldn't remember some of the plots in the original work for a while.

He has been traveling through time for more than 20 years and has not enjoyed many of the benefits of a time traveler's foresight.

After all, the plot in the original book did not help much with his life at Hogwarts.

So, gradually, I don’t remember many things.

Soon Douglas noticed Percy, who was looking at the Ravenclaw table from time to time.

I don't know what Hermione said to him.

He looked towards the teachers' table with an anxious look on his face.

The Weasley twins were giggling on the side.

Percy looked around the teachers' seats and found that Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape were not at their seats.

Only then did he remember that Professor McGonagall had gone to pick up the new students.

His face was immediately filled with disappointment.

When his eyes met Douglas's, his eyes lit up.

He ran straight towards the teachers' seats, with Hermione, who was talking to Percy, following closely behind him.

As soon as he arrived, before Douglas could ask, Percy said anxiously:

"Professor..., Ron and Harry are missing..."

Before Douglas could answer, Dumbledore, who was not far away, coughed softly and said:

"Don't worry, kid, I think Harry and Mr. Weasley will be fine. Severus has gone to look for them.

Please take your seats, I think dinner will be starting soon."

After saying that, he handed over a copy of the Daily Prophet.

Professor Sprout in the middle took the newspaper and glanced at it.

Just read it directly.

"The Ford Anglia flew, and the Muggles were amazed.

Two Muggles in London were convinced they saw an old car flying over the Post Office building... In Norfolk, at noon, Mrs. Heidi Baylis was hanging out the laundry... Mr. Angus Fleet of Peebles reported to the police... There were six or seven Muggles in total..."

After reading it, she looked at Percy in surprise, then at Douglas.

Percy's face turned pale. He knew that his father had made this car without telling the department...

Douglas snapped his fingers, bringing Percy back to reality.

She winked at him and said lightly:
