Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

At first, he just wanted to see if this would trigger any benefits for time travelers.

Sadly, there really isn't any noticeable effect.

You also cannot see the so-called various magical elements.

But after a long period of persistence, his magic power did grow very fast among his peers.

And when casting spells, he is faster than others.

Especially after reaching adulthood, the magic power growth rate of many adult wizards has become slow, or even stopped growing.

Only he could feel that the magic power in his body was still growing significantly.

after an hour.

On the lawn of Hogwarts Castle as the sun just rose.

There was an extra figure, who first ran, and then performed a set of crane-shaped punches.

He rises with his body tied up and falls in hiding.

Darting through the woods, swooping down and catching with claws;

Contain the inner energy and restrain the outer body contour,

Only small and clever hawk-like shape is content.

In the distance, on Gryffindor Tower, Professor McGonagall, dressed in her nightgown, saw the familiar figure on the grass slope through the window.

He was stunned at first, then laughed dryly twice.

“Haha, I thought someone had secretly used a time-turner on me.

I almost forgot that Mr. Holmes has become a teacher at Hogwarts."

When Douglas was in school, he insisted on running around the Hogwarts grounds several times in the morning for several years.

After running, they would do some strange movements on the lawn.

Initially, a student reported that Douglas was performing black magic rituals.

But Professor McGonagall, who was of half-blood, and Dumbledore, who was well-informed, knew very well that it was a form of physical exercise for Muggles.

Although they don't understand it, they don't reject this kind of exercise.

After exercising, Douglas first went to the kitchen.

Before he could make any arrangements, the house-elves had already prepared for him the breakfast he was used to.

Soy milk, tofu pudding, porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed dumplings, etc.

Of course, this is not prepared for him alone.

Since he created these breakfasts, many students and teachers have fallen in love with this hearty breakfast.

After breakfast, I returned to the office.

I looked at the lesson plan he made for the first class.

The first class of the term was for fifth-year Ravenclaw students.

Before the class started, they had all arrived in the classroom and were whispering to each other.

They wanted to see what kind of class Professor Holmes, who was only a few years older than them, would give them.

Soon they saw Douglas walking in from the side door of the classroom with a stern face and a stack of parchment.

Put down the parchment in your hand.

Douglas glanced around and looked at the students who were sitting upright.

He nodded with satisfaction and said lightly:

"Very good, no one is late. Well, as your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, I would like to ask you all a question.

You are in fifth grade now. Do you know what the biggest challenge you will face is?"

Looking at the students below who were looking at each other in confusion.

Douglas looked a little unhappy.

What on earth was Quirrell busy with at school last year?

At this time, I only heard a girl say weakly:

"It's the OLS exam! I heard from my senior last year that she did very badly on the exam and only got an E in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Then the other students also began to discuss in low voices.

Douglas looked at the students below with a sullen face. It seemed that this young teacher had no dignity at all.

If it was Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape's class, they would dare to do this.

"Quiet!!!

Hasn’t anyone taught you to raise your hand before answering a question?

The girl in the middle of the second row, please stand up and answer!"

A girl with short yellow-brown hair stood up proudly. It was the year she entered Hogwarts.

I've heard from seniors that this is the most unique and trouble-making senior in Hufflepuff.

He is only a few years older than me, how can he be my teacher?

"It's the OLS exam! Last year I saw the fifth graders were so busy preparing for it."

Douglas nodded:

"The answer is very good. It is indeed an OLS test. However, I suggest that this student, when answering questions without the teacher knowing your name, if you can add your name, I think I will not hesitate to give Ravenclaw an extra five points."

After hearing this, the girl's face turned red.

Finally, with a bit of grievance, he said:

"Windsor Shirley, Professor.

Professor Holmes, my name is Windsor Shirley."

Douglas was very satisfied with the other party's answer and said with a smile:

"Very good, don't be so nervous, Miss Shirley. From today on, you will be the Ravenclaw class representative for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Windsor Shirley and other classmates were confused. What was a class representative? There had never been such a position in Hogwarts.

Douglas then explained:

"The responsibilities of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class representative are, first, to actively exchange learning experiences with classmates, lead them to improve their learning methods, carry out learning activities related to Defense Against the Dark Arts, and create a strong learning atmosphere.

Second, strengthen contact with classmates and understand the learning situation of classmates.

Third, maintain close contact with the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, accepting his guidance and instructions. Always reflect your classmates' suggestions and requests for instruction, acting as a bridge between the class and the teacher.

Fourth, actively help students who have difficulties in learning, supervise them to complete their homework and relevant corrections on time, and stop the phenomenon of plagiarism.

Fifth, be strict with yourself, study hard, improve your academic performance, and set an example for your classmates;

Of course, if there are any further requests, I will always add them.

If you can do the above, at the end of the school year, I will add 30 points to Ravenclaw based on your work performance this year.

I don’t think Miss Shirley would refuse.”

As Douglas explained, the entire classroom looked at Windsor Shirley.

Some girls even had jealousy in their eyes.

After all, these powers are no less than those of a class leader in some areas.

Shirley nervously pointed at a girl and a boy in the first row and said, "Professor, oh, no, Professor Holmes, I think, I mean the Ravenclaw prefects are Margery Vina and Lizzie Quinton, I..."

Douglas motioned her to sit down and explained:

“Yes, of course I do.

However, they are responsible for the entire Ravenclaw House and have limited energy, so you are only responsible for the fifth-year Ravenclaw Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Then Douglas said to the Ravenclaw prefects:

"Ms. Vina, Mr. Quinton, not just Ms. Shirley, I will select a class representative from each college and each grade to assist me in teaching.

I also hope that the two prefects can provide Miss Shirley with some small help when necessary. I can even say that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the class representative's responsibilities are greater than your prefects'. Do you understand?

Oh, and regarding the fruit distribution by the college management, my class representatives must also have a share."

Since Douglas was a professor, they could only accept it for the time being and planned to report the issue to the dean after the class was over.

Chapter 17: First Class of School - Examination

No matter how naive a student is, he or she would not want someone to delegate power to him or her.

What's more, as a prefect at Hogwarts, the hidden benefits he enjoys are extraordinary.

Now when I heard that Douglas was actually sharing his special treatment as the class leader with these nameless class representatives.

Prefect Quinton could no longer sit still. He stood up and said:

"I'm sorry, Professor. Those fruits are the spoils of our prefects and seniors. They are very limited and cannot be distributed to any class representatives."

After saying this, Quinton felt a little regretful. Last night, he heard his seventh-grade classmates talk about some things that happened to Douglas when he was in the fourth and fifth grades.

From their description, Douglas Holmes is a person who is not like a Hufflepuff in any other aspects except eating.

One of the seventh-year students said that the rare fight among the four colleges seemed to be caused by the new Professor Holmes.

But specifically...

After all, at that time, these seventh-grade students were still first- and second-grade children.

I'm not very clear about some things in the senior grades.

In general, Professor Holmes is not easy to get along with, and you must behave yourself in his class.

Seeing Douglas looking at him with a weird smile, Quinton regretted that he had stepped forward rashly.

However, when he thought that he might become a hero to all the prefects in the college, and maybe the sixth-grade prefect he liked would also look at him with admiration, he suddenly felt full of strength.

Douglas laughed disdainfully:

"The spoils?

Oh, yes, that's right.

I think this explanation makes sense.

After all, this was the spoils that those people had earned through their labor as prisoners of war..."

Douglas didn't expect that the class leaders were so scheming.

They must have made some secret agreement in private, telling the next class leader that the fruit benefits are their war trophies.

It was not until he left Hogwarts that that history was completely rewritten.

Douglas knew very well that Hufflepuff and Gryffindor were not involved in this matter.

Hufflepuffs have this benefit regardless of whether they are prefects or not. Of course, the most important thing is that he was also a prefect back then.

Bill was not only the class monitor, but also the student union president in seventh grade.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff don't have that many thoughts.

Now it wasn't just Quinton who was furious; another female class leader, Vina, also had a look of anger on her face.

They thought Douglas was talking nonsense.

That's not what the previous prefects told them.

Seeing the two prefects' unhappy expressions, Douglas did not make things difficult for them and simply explained:

"Have you not noticed that the orchard where you are locked up to work is called Holmes Orchard?

Yes, you guessed it right, I was the one who originally planted that orchard.

Although the school did not allow students to discuss what happened back then, I can say a few words about it.

And the reason why you class leaders receive this treatment is not because they defeated me.
