Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

The two of them didn't notice at all that there were several second-year students at the Gryffindor table, staring at them fiercely.

These people did not intend to expose the two people right now. After all, they were only in the third grade and the other party was in the fifth grade.

Wait until there are more and more victims, that's the right time to attack.

However, the abnormality of the two still attracted the attention of other students.

Percy seemed to have guessed it, and walked over to the two of them and said:

"Don't worry, they will return the money later."

There were a few stupid people around who didn't realize that the answer was wrong, and they looked at them with confused faces.

Ginny snorted coldly. It seemed that she had to learn Hermione's methods. No one in the third grade had bought George and Fred's answers.

Several people in my second grade have been fooled.

If the other person was not her brother, Ginny would definitely tell Professor McGonagall and Professor Holmes directly.

After running around, George and Fred finally returned to the Gryffindor table and reminded the other students very kindly.

"Everyone, please be careful in Potions class recently..."

"Snape is up to no good again..."

"This morning, he actually did something rare and scolded both the Gryffindor and Slytherin students..."

Chapter 186: Patronus Spell: The Mist of Lowering Intelligence

At noon, Douglas had lunch with Sirius and Dobby in the office.

He gave half of the 500 gold galleons that Dobby brought back to him.

At his insistence, Dobby accepted Douglas' gift in tears.

However, before Dobby could even get the 250 gold coins warm in his hands, Wangcai took them all away.

Dobby was actually watching Wangcai's actions with a smile on his face. Perhaps in Dobby's heart now, Wangcai is a friend more important than his boss and Harry.

Sirius was very disdainful of Douglas's behavior, but still said hesitantly:

"Douglas, could you lend me some gold coins first? I want to give Remus some gifts."

Douglas said in surprise while eating:

"I thought you would give Harry a gift first."

Sirius shook his head and said with a gloomy expression:

"Harry still has you as his cousin, but Remus has nothing. I've already hurt him twice...

After you have cleared my name, I will return the gold I borrowed from you double…"

Douglas nodded, then looked at Sirius seriously and said:

"I don't need you to return my gold coins, but if you can come back to the Black Mansion again, I'd like to choose some things from it."

Sirius waved his hand:

"You can take whatever you want then!"

The afternoon class was still a theoretical exam, but Douglas noticed that the fourth-year students from Gryffindor and the third-year students from Ravenclaw were all there, with resentful expressions on their faces.

Hufflepuff first years did not take the exam.

But they had a profound experience of what Sherlock Holmes chicken soup is.

They heard a lot of stories about this Hufflepuff senior last night.

Then I saw what it means to make up homework overnight, and today I listened to the seniors discussing the first semester exams.

When it was finally their turn, they were asked to recite the text.

This was a bit confusing and overwhelming for the young wizard who had just come into contact with the magical world.

This is different from what the seniors said. They just said that there would be all kinds of strange dark magic creatures in every Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but they didn't say that you have to memorize the text before you can see those magical creatures.

There were 30 people in the sixth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class. This was probably the first time in the past decade or so that this class had so many students.

Because this time Douglas did not require an excellent score on the OLS test to enroll in this course.

Students were still selected based on their good previous academic performance.

The sixth grade did not participate in the start of the examination.

But in the first class, Douglas arranged for the students to learn the Patronus Charm.

The students who participated in the expulsion of the Dementors on the Hogwarts Express secretly discussed whether it was the Dementors' fault, the professor.

They remembered that the first Patronus on the train was Professor Holmes's, who gave priority to teaching this magic even though he knew that Dementors were stationed in the school.

For students who have already learned the Patronus Charm, Douglas asked them to take turns in guiding the beginners.

Then, I taught them some special applications of the Patronus Charm, how to use the positive energy in the Patronus Charm to restrain some black magic.

During this time, Douglas cast a variation of the Patronus Charm in the classroom, and white mist filled the classroom.

Then the students found themselves in the white fog, feeling extremely happy. Whenever they wanted to cast an evil spell or curse, they could not gather that kind of malice in their hearts.

At the same time, they found that in this state, the success rate of casting the Patronus Charm was greatly increased.

Douglas explained with a smile:

"The Patronus Charm is one of the most powerful defensive spells. This ancient and mysterious spell, as we all know, summons a magical Patronus that is a reflection of all your most positive emotions.

The Patronus Charm is difficult to cast, and many wizards and witches are unable to conjure a full, physical Patronus, which usually takes the form of the animal with which they have the greatest affinity.

Unfortunately, most wizards and witches are unable to summon a patronus of any form, but even summoning an invisible patronus is considered a sign of great magical power.

This leads to many people learning the Patronus Charm only thinking about summoning a physical Patronus, thus ignoring that the essence of the Patronus is positive emotion.

So based on this, I developed some positive spells with the characteristics of the Patronus Charm. Although they are not as effective as the Patronus Charm against Dementors or Voldemorts, they are very useful when facing some dark wizards.

I call the spell just now the Patronus Spell of the Mist of Lowering Intelligence.

When you cast it, your opponent will be unable to launch effective black magic attacks for one minute...

Just a reminder, this magic is only effective against ordinary dark wizards, but for some high-level dark wizards, their minds are not so easily affected..."

These contents are almost not found in some materials and are Douglas's unique techniques.

Just like the magic of using the Patronus to transmit information is the unique skill that Dumbledore taught to the Order of the Phoenix.

This group of students is one that Douglas is particularly optimistic about. Their foundation in Defense Against the Dark Arts was laid very solid by Douglas last year, so Douglas can let go completely when teaching them this semester.

It can even be said that even if this class graduates now, their ability in Defense Against the Dark Arts will not be much worse than that of most of the previous seventh-year students.

After class in the afternoon, Douglas was in the office correcting students' summer homework.

Sirius turned into a dog, lying on the window looking at the scenery outside the castle, wondering what he was thinking.

Wangcai is swimming in the treasure bowl, in a sea of ​​gold coins made up of real and fake gold Galleons.

Dobby was still assigned by Douglas to write a new paper assignment. He had gradually understood what his boss wanted to do. After all, he had not read so many management books in vain.

Soon, the peaceful office was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

Dobby put down his pen and walked quickly to the door of the room.

Sirius also came down from the window, pretending to be a normal dog.

After the door opened, Dobby's surprised voice came:

"Harry Potter, boss, it's Harry Potter... Dobby is so happy. I haven't seen Harry Potter for two days..."

Harry was about to greet Douglas when he saw that it was Dobby who opened the door. He was stunned and said quickly:

"Good afternoon, Dobby. I have something to ask my cousin. Um, why is Padfoot here too..."

Through the gap in Dobby's ears, Harry saw the big black dog in the room, and immediately remembered the Divination class in the morning.

Professor Trelawney's voice once again echoed in his ears. Although Professor McGonagall had already said that this was Professor Trelawney's signature routine, he couldn't help but shudder when he saw Padfoot again.

"That great, grim dog that haunts the churchyard! My dear child, he is an omen—the worst omen—the omen of death!"

Harry thought about it carefully and felt that except for the fact that he seemed worried most of the time, Padfoot was not a sinister person at all.

He still remembered the time when Padfoot bit the corner of his clothes and wanted him to ride on him...

Chapter 187 Percy's Plan

Sirius saw the way Harry looked at him and thought that he had suffered some injustice at school.

He immediately barked "Woof woof woof" at Douglas.

Harry came back to his senses immediately, without having time to think about anything else, and said anxiously:

"Uncle... Professor, I'm sorry I forgot in my haste..."

Douglas had told Harry at home that he should still call him professor after arriving at Hogwarts. At that time, Harry thought that Douglas would not be able to continue his term, so he did not take it seriously. Only now did he suddenly remember this matter.

After he apologized, he quickly said:

"George and Fred were selling fake answers to Defence Against the Dark Arts and were surrounded by deceived students.

Professor McGonagall was very angry when she found out, so she asked me to notify you to come over..."

Douglas suddenly paused. Hearing Professor McGonagall was there, he suddenly didn't want to go over...

He asked silently:

"Who else was there besides Professor McGonagall?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, then said quickly:

"The good students and four headmasters of the academy were all there, but they all had strange expressions. Professor McGonagall was very angry at first, but then she said something to the other headmasters, and they all started laughing.

But...but George and Fred didn't sell the answer to the Slytherins, so I don't know what Snape was doing there?"

Douglas rubbed his head, then patted Harry on the head and said dissatisfiedly:

"Next time, call me Professor Snape. No matter how much you hate him, he is still your Potions professor..."

Harry let out an aggrieved "oh" to indicate that he understood.

Sirius disagreed and barked at Douglas.

Harry was very curious. Wasn't Bigfoot Douglas's pet? Why did he always protect him? Was it because he often fed it?

In the end, Douglas followed Harry to the auditorium to take a look.

When he looked down from the stairs, the long table in the auditorium was full of people having dinner. George and Fred were surrounded by several younger students not far from the faculty table.

The faculty and staff were chatting at the staff table and looked very happy.

Only Professor Snape casually answered Professor Flitwick's question, staring at Professor Lupin fiercely.

But Lupin didn't care about him at all. Instead, he was very interested in learning about Douglas' glorious history from Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout.

Percy was also chatting and laughing with the female student council president, as if the one who made the mistake was not his brother.

Finding that no one noticed Douglas's arrival, Harry ran down the stairs and shouted:

"Professor Holmes is here..."

Douglas looked embarrassed, but when he saw everyone looking at him, he still put on a smile.

He walked quickly to the staff seat, and before he could speak, Professor McGonagall asked with a smile:

"Douglas, it seems you already know this? I've already deducted 50 points from each of them for this matter, but I still need to hear your opinion on the specific punishment."

Douglas really wanted to roll his eyes in public. If someone really wanted to hear his opinion, they would definitely choose to ask in private. There was no need to make such a fuss.

He glanced at the professors who were all grinning strangely, and he was quite sure that there was a bad guy among the Hogwarts professors.

Douglas turned calmly and looked at George and Fred.

After seeing Douglas's eyes, the two men subconsciously took a step back and said at the same time;

"Professor, we know we were wrong and we have already refunded the money..."

Douglas sneered and said nothing, but looked at Percy beside him.

Percy scratched his head, walked forward and explained in a low voice:
