Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Douglas stomped his feet and said seriously:

"I suggest you get in touch with Professor Lupin, spend some time chatting with him, or even tell him your purpose directly.

You can’t avoid him when investigating Sirius. If you can become friends with him, I think it will be of great help to you…”

When they appeared at the castle gate, they found Professor McGonagall standing there, seemingly waiting for them.

Several people hurriedly stopped, and Douglas said with a smile:

"Good evening, professor. Why haven't you gone to bed yet so late?"

Professor McGonagall snorted coldly and said:

"Next time, don't take students wandering outside the castle so late. How's Hagrid?"

Douglas said:

"The situation is fine now. They have developed a new teaching plan for Hagrid. I will go talk to Mr. Malfoy..."

Professor McGonagall nodded, then called Douglas aside and handed him a piece of parchment.

"This is the reconstruction plan for the Chamber of Secrets. The levels of other professors have already been completed. Because the Chamber of Secrets is so large and has so many complicated passages, professors from all subjects at Hogwarts have participated.

Now the only thing left to set up is your Defense Against the Dark Arts level.

We have specific requirements for the escape room levels this time. If a student can completely pass a subject, it means they can directly... graduate through the practical exam. Therefore, the content of your levels cannot be the same as ordinary practical courses..."

Douglas took the blueprint and saw that it was indeed clearly marked with sections. The seven core subjects and five electives at Hogwarts all had their corresponding sections. Even Care of Magical Creatures had been assigned.

Professor McGonagall seemed to see what Douglas was confused about, and explained with a smile:

"The level protecting magical creatures is Professor Keltburn's last gift to Hogwarts. From now on, Hagrid will just have to take care of the magical creatures inside."

Douglas nodded, it seemed that he would be busy for a while.

There was nothing he could do. Everyone thought he would never return to Hogwarts, so no one informed him about the summer vacation.

Chapter 193 Professor Holmes is probably a dog

Professor McGonagall walked up to the three little ones and said sternly:

"Since you were there for a reason and were accompanied by the professor, I won't punish you this time. However, next time, you will not be allowed to leave the castle alone at night... Come back to the lounge with me now..."

The three little ones lowered their heads and followed Professor McGonagall silently, not daring to speak.

Douglas walked towards the school infirmary alone.

Professor McGonagall walked the three of them to the door of the common room and left.

When they climbed through the doorway and entered the Gryffindor common room, they found it was very lively.

George and Fred were the center of attention. They brought out lots of snacks and desserts to share with everyone.

There was also a banner hanging on the wall: "The Weasley brothers' last party of this semester."

After Ginny's explanation, they realized that the Weasley twins knew that they would definitely be stationed in detention class for a long time this semester.

So, taking advantage of the time before being punished with confinement, we organized a back-to-school carnival.

Ron said angrily:

"But this banner is so unlucky. Doesn't the Weasley brothers include me? I don't want to spend a whole semester in detention with them. Doesn't Percy object?"

Ginny gave half of a cake to Hermione and said:

"Percy didn't come out at all. He's probably still in his dorm writing letters with his girlfriend."

Ron stamped his feet angrily, then drove Ginny away, pulled Hermione and Harry aside, and whispered:

"I have a new discovery to share with you."

Hermione and Harry looked at each other, then at Ron.

Ron said as if he had discovered a big secret:

“Maybe you didn’t notice it, but I heard it clearly just now.

Professor Holmes always refers to Sirius Black as Sirius..."

When he saw Hermione and Harry's surprised expressions, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said proudly:

"I was silent just now because I was thinking about this problem.

From what we know so far, Sirius Black was captured before Professor Holmes entered the wizarding world, so it is impossible for them to know each other.

But when he talked about the other party, he always acted as if he was very familiar with them and had a good relationship with them. And the task he assigned was also very problematic..."

Harry frowned and said:

"But we discussed this before. Didn't Hermione say that my cousin wanted me to learn more about Voldemort through Black?"

Hermione lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying:

"I think this may be related to Headmaster Dumbledore. I have two guesses.

The first point is Professor Holmes’ speaking habits. Maybe he is used to calling people by their first names instead of their last names.

The second point is that Professor Holmes knew Black after he escaped from prison, and Headmaster Dumbledore also knew about this matter. They believed that Black was wrongly accused, so they wanted to use your name as the savior to clear Black’s name...”

At this point, Hermione suddenly frowned and said with a very ugly expression:

"Two speculations suddenly occurred to me. One is that, just as that ridiculous magazine said, the current Professor Holmes was transformed by Black using the Polyjuice Potion.

Another question is, do you remember the Animagus we talked about in Transfiguration class today? I've heard from many seniors that Professor Holmes is very knowledgeable in Transfiguration, so maybe he knows Animagus as well?"

Harry and Ron looked confused and asked:

"But Professor McGonagall said there are only seven Animagus people in this century..."

Hermione said angrily:

"How did you listen in class? Professor McGonagall said there were seven Animagus registered with the Ministry of Magic, but what if Professor Holmes didn't register?"

Harry and Ron were still confused: "Even so, what does this have to do with Black?"

Hermione said weakly:

"Don't you think the dog in Professor Holmes's house is a bit out of place? And he's particularly friendly to Harry. I've seen him being so close to Harry more than once at the professor's house.

What if he is your cousin, and Black, who is pretending to be Professor Holmes, is just your godfather whom you have never met?

In other words, the two of them exchanged identities, creating the illusion that Professor Holmes had broken the You-Know-Who curse."

Ron said in horror:

"You mean Professor Holmes and the murderer Black are in cahoots..."

Hermione nodded heavily and said:

"But from what I know about Professor Holmes, he can't be a dark wizard. If it's really as we suspect, then Black is most likely being wrongly accused."

Harry felt a little complicated. He touched the amulet on his chest and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"I'm going to test Padfoot tomorrow to see if he's my cousin in disguise. We must keep this a secret. If he really is my cousin, he might be arrested for being an illegal Animagus.

But regardless of whether he is or not, I want to complete that mission and find out the truth behind Blake... If this mission is really given to me by my cousin, I don't want to let him down...

As for whether Blake was wrongly accused or not, it doesn’t matter to me. My cousin is very good to me…”

Ron asked Hermione doubtfully:

"Why didn't you include the suggestion that Professor Holmes had been murdered by Black? That would be the scariest thing."

"Snapped"

Hermione slammed the table, startling Ron and Harry. Many people around also looked over.

She yelled in great annoyance:

"The scariest thing now is that I've discovered I still have a lot of homework to do!!!"

As soon as the voice came out, the common room fell silent and everyone looked at Hermione.

Ron looked at Harry, and Harry said with a bitter look on his face:

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't write anything!"

Then the students who were assigned homework today began to wail, and the whole party was broken up by Hermione's shout.

Everyone took out their homework and started to gather together to seek help from their class representatives.

Hermione took out a thick stack of textbooks and wrote furiously while mumbling to herself.

Douglas went to the Hogwarts infirmary alone, but was successfully blocked at the door by Madam Pomfrey.

This time was different from the last time he went to see Dobby. He didn't want Draco Malfoy to think that he was sneaking around to threaten him, so he didn't use invisibility spells, stealth magic, etc., but visited openly.

Madam Pomfrey said bluntly:

"The school clinic does not allow visits at night to avoid disturbing students' rest."

Douglas handed over the small gift in his hand and said with an apologetic smile:

"I'm worried that my class representative won't be able to attend tomorrow, so I came to check on him..."

There's no way. The school infirmary is Madam Pomfrey's territory. Not to mention him, even if Dumbledore comes, he has to behave himself. This has nothing to do with strength. The main reason is that it is really difficult to recruit an all-round school nurse like Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey took Douglas's gift and said with a sneer:

"Why, you don't believe in my skills? It's true. Although you sent many students in those years, which increased my workload, you yourself have never experienced my medical skills..."

Douglas smiled awkwardly, then said seriously:

"Ma'am, let me tell you the truth. This matter is related to Hagrid. You should be aware of Mr. Malfoy's injury. But if he takes advantage of this matter and causes Hagrid, who has just become a professor, to be expelled..."

Before he could finish his words, Madam Pomfrey said angrily:

"That's better. Although I have a good relationship with Hagrid, to be honest, he is not a qualified professor. He sent students to the school infirmary in the first class. Who knows what problems will arise in the future...

Kettleburn was already a headache for me back then. Every time school started, I would worry about whether he would send me patients. Now that he’s replaced, it’s still the same…”

Douglas smiled wryly and said:

"Hagrid is already making changes. Some students have helped him re-plan the teaching plan. He may also need to consult you on some treatment issues when he has time. Some simple issues can be handled urgently by you..."

Madam Pomfrey frowned and said:

"Forget it. If any students are injured, have them send them to me immediately. Don't try to deal with them yourself. If the injury gets worse, they might have to be sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

You go in, he is the only one in there and can only visit for five minutes. Don't make me go in and chase him away.

If you can help Hagrid, you should help him. After all, he has suffered a lot in the past, and this incident is not entirely his fault."

Douglas smiled when he heard this and hurried into the school clinic.

Chapter 194 Draco: I made a deal

Draco was lying on the bed in the school infirmary, bored, stuffing a snack into his mouth from time to time while mumbling something.

It was obvious that life in the school infirmary was too boring. In order to let him recover from his injuries, Madam Pomfrey didn't let him do anything, even if he asked to do his homework, she wouldn't let him have anyone to accompany him or talk to.

He had to stay like this for a week. In the afternoon, his father wrote him a letter telling him that he must pretend to be serious and leave the rest to his father.

Just as he was imagining how to cook that damn hippogriff, a slight sound of footsteps was heard in the empty school infirmary.

Draco quickly swallowed the snack in his mouth and began to make whining sounds.

When he saw who was coming, he was stunned and forgot to howl.

Douglas placed a piece of fruit on Draco's bedside table and asked kindly:

"Good evening Mr. Malfoy, how are you?"

Draco subconsciously covered his arm, which was no longer painful, hesitated for a moment, and then said painfully:

"It still hurts a lot. I can't seem to feel my arm anymore... Professor, why are you here?"

He even thought that Dumbledore would come to question him, but he never thought that Douglas would come.

Douglas glanced at Malfoy indifferently, without exposing his poor acting skills.

"Oh, why can't I come? You're my class representative. I heard you were seriously injured, so of course I have to come and see you.

But your condition seems very serious, it seems you won’t be able to make it to the class representative selection on Wednesday…”
