Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"Boss, I actually discovered what happened to them last night.

Later, I thought about their performance last year, so I took advantage of the situation and discussed it with Professor McGonagall.

After their affairs are exposed, we will severely deduct their points to prevent them from causing trouble and losing points throughout the semester, especially since the situation outside Hogwarts is very dangerous this year.

Then I'll ask them to earn back the points this semester. Even if they don't earn enough, I'll help make up for it...

Professor McGonagall means that you, Boss, should continue to punish them with long detentions this year...

Originally, I was planning to talk to you tonight about this matter and then we could discuss a solution.

But I didn’t expect their affair to be exposed so quickly…”

After hearing Percy's explanation, Douglas turned around and looked at Professor McGonagall who was smiling at him.

He took a deep breath and finally understood why the usually strict Professor McGonagall seemed so relaxed this time.

Then Percy glanced at the four deans again, a wry smile on his face, and he moved closer to Douglas and continued:

"Because of the cases involving the two of them last year, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick handed Penelope and me a list of names this morning. They were all students who were not well behaved.

Let us help you put them in confinement one by one to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the Dementors..."

Percy said as he handed over a piece of parchment with the names of a dozen students written on it.

They are all students who have seriously violated school rules over the years. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are at the top of the list.

Douglas couldn't help but sigh that the professors at Hogwarts had become bad and were even using military tactics on their students.

He asked in a low voice:

"Why aren't there any Slytherins?"

Percy shook his head.

"I don't know. Professor Snape hasn't looked for Penelope and me."

Douglas put the parchment away and asked curiously:

"Why did the deans choose me, and why didn't they consult with me?"

Percy suppressed his laughter and said:

"Professor McGonagall thinks you have a good way of dealing with them..."

George and Fred watched Douglas and Percy whispering to each other, and Percy had a rare strange smile on his face, which made the two of them feel very uncomfortable.

Douglas turned and looked at the deans. Professor Sprout smiled and said:

"Douglas, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. After all, it is really too dangerous outside this semester. We have to take some measures..."

Snape raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"Professor Holmes, I'm not interested in anything else, but I really want to know how you plan to punish these two little...Gryffindors. Are you planning to make them clean the toilets for a year?"

Douglas's face darkened instantly, and he corrected seriously:

"It's three months, not a year."

When the other teachers who had taught Douglas heard this, they all burst into laughter.

What happened that year affected almost all subjects at Hogwarts. In order to resolve the unfairness caused by Douglas and Bill, all professors had to set new questions before the holiday.

Percy tried hard to suppress his laughter. He actually knew about this matter. He had participated in the study mutual aid group once.

At a dinner party one time, Bill mentioned what happened before the study group was established.

He had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, but when Professor McGonagall was chatting with Professor Sprout just now, he suddenly remembered it. He remembered that Bill said to Douglas with disgust that he would take a shower for several hours every time after cleaning the toilet.

But the deceived students near the staff seats did not know about this. They did not understand why the professors were so happy when they heard that they were asked to clean the toilet.

But this did not prevent them from applauding and praising the ideas of Hogwarts' most unpopular professor.

George and Fred looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair. They couldn't stand even three months, let alone a year.

Chapter 188 Evening Self-Study Confinement Class

Douglas really didn't expect that these professors would be so vindictive. Even after more than ten years, they still remembered this incident.

He turned to George and Fred and said:

"Do you realize your mistake?"

The two said listlessly:

"I understand!"

Douglas sneered and said:

"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

George and Fred sighed and said:

"We shouldn't organize those questions into answers..."

"We thought you were going to stick with last year's questions..."

"We...we're just trying to make some pocket money."

"But we promised them that if the answer was wrong, we would refund their money..."

"They don't trust us and actually formed a group to collect debts..."

Professor Snape stood up and said with a sneer:

"No, your mistake is that the way you used it was too clumsy. I think Douglas Holmes should have discovered this behavior in the first class today."

George and Fred quickly shook their heads and said:

"Impossible, they weren't caught in the first class..."

They can admit that their answer is wrong, but they will never admit that their method is poor.

Snape continued:

"It seems that your good brother Bill Weasley didn't tell you that he and Holmes did the same thing before, but their methods were much better than yours. If it weren't for..."

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout interrupted Snape harshly:

"Severus!"

Professor Flitwick also tugged at Snape's clothes.

They came today for another purpose, but it was definitely not to lower Douglas's image in the students' minds.

As seniors, Douglas' teachers can laugh about this matter, but the students definitely can't.

Professor McGonagall interrupted Snape and said to Douglas:

"Today's incident involves Defense Against the Dark Arts, so we'd like to hear your opinion on how to handle it, aside from deducting points."

Douglas cast a grateful look at several deans, then glared at Professor Snape without giving in.

He just didn't understand. His appearance this year had already shown that his position as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was unshakable. Snape should have given up this fantasy. Why was he still looking for trouble with him? Shouldn't his focus this year be on Lupin?

Then he noticed Harry who was looking at him at the Gryffindor table, and cursed inwardly, thinking that he must have been implicated by Harry.

Douglas came back to his senses, nodded to Professor McGonagall and said:

"Professor, I have an immature idea. I plan to ask Professor Lupin to set up a night study detention room. From 8pm to 11pm every night, students who violate school rules will be detained."

Lupin, who was watching the show, was stunned when he suddenly heard Douglas mentioning himself.

The four deans were also stunned. They didn't expect Douglas to pass the problem to Lupin.

Just when the other deans were thinking about whether they should persuade Lupin and Douglas to change the arrangement.

Snape's withered face flashed with a sneer as he said:

"Absolutely not. I don't feel comfortable handing my students over to a..."

Professor McGonagall said angrily:

"Severus, we have to trust Remus. Dumbledore thinks he can do it, and now Douglas also thinks he can do it. I think it is necessary to consider the opinions of both of them. Remus, what do you think?"

Lupin sighed. To be honest, he really wanted to refuse. Initially, Dumbledore invited him to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, then he became a tutor for study sessions and morning jogging classes, and now there was also a detention class...

But he nodded and said:

"I'm fine, but Professor Holmes should be aware of my physical condition, so I hope you can help me while I'm on leave..."

Douglas hasn't spoken yet.

Snape didn't know what he was thinking about, and suddenly changed his attitude and said:

"Don't bother him. I'm happy to help colleagues with physical problems..."

Lupin smiled wryly, nodded, and motioned for Douglas to continue.

Douglas nodded at Lupin, whose mental state he had been paying attention to.

Simply put, the reason why Lupin is like this now is because he is too idle. After all, he has not worked for a long time because of his werewolf status, so he has a lot of time to think about random things, which makes his mood worse and worse, and even affects his body.

Arrange more things for Lupin to do now so that he can think less about trivial things. When his emotions have adjusted, take him to see Sirius.

Then he continued:

"The detention is very simple. My idea is to arrange for them to copy textbooks. For example, George and Fred need to copy all the textbooks for grades one to five, which are the subjects they are preparing for the OLS exam, three times or recite them once.

If the situation is not serious, we can reduce the copying or dictation content as appropriate.

Professors can also add their own content to the confinement course for students in confinement to choose from."

The deans looked at each other, as if to expect it.

Then they took out a stack of magazines from their pockets.

Professor McGonagall smiled and said:

"In addition to copying or memorizing the textbook contents, we suggest adding four magazines and journals: 'Transfiguration Today', 'Herbal Research', 'Ever-Changing Spells', and 'Discovering Potions'.

Whoever loses one point must choose one issue of the magazine to copy, and so on. If ten points are lost, he will need to copy ten magazines..."

Douglas looked at the four deans in amazement. He finally understood why such a small matter would bring the four deans to the auditorium together.

It seems that this is the highlight of today, because the professors have the final say on whether to deduct points or not. This way they have an excuse at any time to tie up some restless students on campus to prevent them from getting into accidents.

Douglas even guessed why he was asked to come here specifically to deal with this matter, because someone had to keep an eye on these students.

The deans are busy every day, the other professors are older than him, and most of the students' confinement last year was completed under his leadership, so they chose him.

But they didn't expect that they would directly kick the ball to the new Professor Lupin, and set up a special detention class, which met their requirements.

Lupin was stunned watching from the side, even though Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had said before that because of Douglas, there had been some small changes in the teaching methods at Hogwarts.

But I didn't expect the change to be so big. If this method was used when he was in school, the four of them probably wouldn't have the chance to go out at night at all, and would have to copy textbooks and magazines every night.

But he has already graduated, so he fully supports this behavior.

Unconsciously, he looked at Harry. He knew that the other party had the Invisibility Cloak, and he also heard Dumbledore mention that Harry looked very much like James in his school days.

If the opponent can be deducted points every day, then he can protect him to a greater extent.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that Sirius Black, who has Animagus, cannot be stopped by those Dementors.

Ever since he arrived at the school, he had been hesitant about whether to tell Dumbledore some information about Sirius.

But they were friends, and even if Sirius had done something like that, he didn't want to betray his friend.

But now Douglas' proposal made Lupin, who had been in agony, feel a little calmer.

Harry, sitting at the Gryffindor table, was saying to Ron and Hermione with great regret:

"Next summer, I will definitely find my cousin and learn his lip reading skills. This way, no matter how far away they are, I will be able to understand what they are saying."

Hermione said while looking at the textbook while eating:

"That's really good. At least it's much better than the few eavesdropping magic items I know. I remember a book mentioning a magic for eavesdropping, but that one was too restrictive. The more people around, the weaker the magic."

Ron lowered his head and said in horror:

"What does it mean that Professor Lupin suddenly looked at me..."

Harry turned his head to look at the staff seats again and found that Professor Lupin was not looking here.
