Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Harry said quickly:

"Look at George and Fred, and those people who were deceived. What happened to them?"

Not only Harry noticed the abnormality, but many students below also noticed it.

Not to mention other students, just the Weasley twins George and Fred, many people in various colleges know them. They are notoriously bold. No matter how many times they were caught breaking the rules in the past, they would always greet the detention with a smile.

But now they saw something, the despair and horror on both of their faces were not concealed at all.

Were they fired because of this incident?

But why do the plaintiffs also look so desperate?

Suddenly, they saw Professor McGonagall motioning several people to return to their seats, and then Professor McGonagall's loud voice rang out in the hall.

"Everyone, please stop talking and using your hands. I want to tell you something.

The four of us deans jointly approved a proposal from Professor Holmes, and of course Professor Lupin agreed.

There will be some adjustments to how lockdown is conducted this semester…”

The purpose of the four deans gathering today is to support Holmes.

When Percy suggested to Professor McGonagall how to deal with George and Fred, Professor McGonagall astutely discovered a way to address the safety of certain students at Hogwarts this semester.

After discussing with Dumbledore and other deans, everyone agreed that this approach was feasible.

Just as Douglas guessed, after comprehensive comparison, they chose Douglas.

Originally, Professor McGonagall wanted to discuss the matter with Douglas, but was persuaded by Dumbledore.

"Minerva, we should let him choose..."

Dumbledore also mentioned Lupin at that time, but except for Snape who strongly opposed it, others felt that Lupin's physical condition did not allow him to hold so many positions.

But they didn't expect that Douglas would have the same opinion as Dumbledore.

Although it was different from the original plan, it was still within expectations.

Now everyone is relieved, after all, there are too many things to do this semester.

The students can be more obedient and feel more relaxed.

Chapter 189 Malfoy is injured

After Professor McGonagall announced the new rules, the hall was silent.

Then there was a chaotic discussion and whispered cursing.

At this time, the other deans also stood up.

Dean Snape sneered and said with a magnifying spell:

"This is a joint decision made by the four deans. Who objects?"

Then he glanced around, the Slytherins were the first to shut their mouths, and finally Snape's eyes fell on Harry, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Harry shuddered suddenly.

Under Snape's gaze, the hall finally fell silent.

Everyone turned their eyes to Douglas.

Douglas, on the other hand, looked up to study what kind of weather spell was used on the ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall today.

At this moment, the students from the four major colleges suddenly turned their attention to the Gryffindor table.

They suddenly thought of a problem. According to Professor Snape's previous habits, it was very likely that someone from Gryffindor had to attend detention classes every day.

Apparently, the Gryffindors had thought of this problem as well, and were all shouting in their hearts that it was unfair.

Ron said dissatisfiedly:

"This idea must have come from Professor Holmes. Why do I feel like this is aimed at Gryffindor?"

Sitting at the long table, Hermione muttered something with her mouth full of food:

"No, I think it's directed at Harry."

Harry and Ron didn't hear what Hermione said, but no matter how they asked, Hermione didn't say that again.

Instead, he said something inexplicably:

"Sirius Black is even more terrifying than we thought."

At the staff table, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and said:

"Douglas, do you have anything to add about what happened today?"

Douglas nodded, and then said to the deceived students:

"Since you attempted to cheat in the Defense Against the Dark Arts opening exam but failed, 10 points will be deducted from each of you. As a punishment, you will complete this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook by dictation. In addition, according to the new regulations, each of you will choose ten magazines to dictate."

The victims then remembered that their actions also violated school rules.

When George and Fred heard the news, their gloomy faces suddenly turned into smiles.

At least the two of them knew the professor was there, so they didn't just high-five and cheer.

When they looked at each other, George took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

"Professor, I want to report that there are other students trying to cheat..."

“Oh, yes, these are our potential customers…”

"Will we get extra points if we do this?"

The two men thought that since their business was going to fail anyway, they might as well drag more people into it.

At this time, the deceived students standing around them were stunned for a moment, then a smile unconsciously appeared on their sad faces, and then they nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with what the two said.

No one noticed that Professor Snape's mouth was almost smiling, while the other three deans had dark faces.

The reason they chose to let Douglas punish other students was because they were not sure how much to deduct at the moment.

It would be fine if students from all four colleges participated, but everyone will lose points.

But George and Fred still had a sense of Gryffindor honor in this matter, and would rather die than let the little snake get high scores.

So, no Slytherin was involved in this.

Douglas also discovered this problem at the suggestion of Professor Sprout.

That's why ten points were deducted from each student who cheated, and this was acceptable to the deans.

Otherwise, if this kind of behavior happened under normal circumstances, ten points would definitely not be enough to deduct.

Douglas looked at the expectant faces of those people and sighed. He immediately felt that the punishment for George and Fred was definitely too light. After all, the severity of the punishment was actually the same as last year.

He took the initiative to say:

"If we judge by their actions, not their intentions, it's not considered cheating until they actually commit the act."

Then he used the Voice Transmission Charm and whispered in George and Fred's ears:

"The Complete Collection of Magical Props."

George and Fred were stunned for a moment, then they tore the parchment into pieces and said firmly to Lupin:

"Professor Lupin, please punish us severely by making us copy textbooks!"

After the incident was over, the four deans left the auditorium directly.

Douglas looked around and asked Percy curiously:

"Why don't you see Hagrid?"

Percy said with a somewhat unhappy expression:

"In his first class today, a student was injured..."

A light flashed in Douglas's mind, and he felt that this scene was very familiar.

He subconsciously looked at Harry, then quickly glanced at the Slytherin table, but did not see Draco.

Then he cursed inwardly, thinking that he was so busy that he had forgotten about this matter.

He walked quickly to Harry's side of the Gryffindor table.

"I'm going to go see your Professor Hagrid. Want to come with me?"

Hermione quickly put down what she was holding and said regretfully:

"Oh my god, I actually forgot such an important thing. Professor, let's go."

Harry and Ron also showed regretful expressions on their faces. They had just said that they would go to visit Hagrid after dinner.

But something happened between George and Fred, and the two of them temporarily forgot about it.

He quickly stood up and followed Douglas.

After all, it was getting dark, and with the professor accompanying them, no matter how late they came back, it would not be considered a night tour.

At this moment, the topic at the Gryffindor table suddenly turned from the detention class to what happened in the Care of Magical Creatures class.

On the way, Douglas asked for details of the incident, Harry told the story, and Ron and Hermione supplemented it.

It turned out that Hagrid's first lesson was to take them to deal with hippogriffs.

At the beginning of the class, Harry set an example for everyone. He successfully rode a gray hippogriff named Buckbeak, and the other party took him flying in the sky.

At this point, Ron and Hermione looked at Harry with envy, because the other reddish-brown Hippogriff they chose was not as easy to deal with as Harry's.

Perhaps because of Harry, Draco Malfoy and his followers Goyle and Crabbe directly chose Buckbeak.

As a result, Draco's arrogance successfully angered Buckbeak.

Hermione added angrily, "He called Buckbeak a big ugly beast... and Buckbeak was bowing to him..."

But Harry still said worriedly:

"Malfoy had a long, deep gash on his arm and I was worried Hagrid would be fired because of it."

Douglas was speechless. Although it seemed that Draco Malfoy brought his own death upon himself, it was actually due to Hagrid's course arrangement.

He actually let a group of students who had no basic knowledge of magical creatures face the XXX-level creatures of the Ministry of Magic directly.

What distinguishes magical beasts from ordinary beasts is that in addition to their magical abilities, they also possess a certain degree of intelligence.

He bet Hagrid didn't take it to heart.

After all, this is something that has been passed down through the generations. In their first Care of Magical Creatures class, Professor Kettleburn asked them to look for the eggs laid by the Fire Ash Snake somewhere in the Forbidden Forest.

As a result, due to untimely search, several fire ash snake eggs directly ignited the area. A girl even had her arm burned by the self-igniting fire ash snake eggs because she did not use the freezing spell properly.

That was Professor Kettleburn's 56th stay on observation.

PS (the following content is for reference only and is not included in the main text):

Hippogriff:

British Magical Classification Level:

Physical Characteristics: A hippogriff has the head and wings of a giant eagle and the body of a horse.

A newborn Hippogriff can attempt flight in less than a week, but it takes several months for it to truly fly long distances. To approach a Hippogriff, you must maintain eye contact. The first step is to bow. If the Hippogriff bows back, it means it's safe to approach. You can then pet the Hippogriff and even ride it for flight.

Fire Ash Snake:

British Magical Classification Level:

Ash snakes are born from a burning demonic fire that has been left unattended for too long.

Habits: The lifespan of the Fire Ash Snake is only one hour. During this hour, it finds a dark, secluded place to lay its eggs, and then its body will fall apart and turn into dust.

Powers and Effects: If the Fire Ash Snake eggs are not discovered in time and frozen with the appropriate spell, they will set a house on fire within minutes.

Sylvanus Kettleburn:

Former Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts, retired after the 1992 school year.

He was a passionate man, but could also be reckless and careless. His passion for the dangerous creatures he studied and cared for led to him being seriously injured on numerous occasions, sometimes even harming others. This resulted in him being placed on probation no less than 62 times during his tenure at the school.

Like Hagrid, he often underestimates the dangers of caring for creatures like bird snakes, grindylows, and salamanders.
