Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

[On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, across from the tapestry depicting "The Troll Beats Barnabas with a Club," I walked back and forth three times in front of that wall, thinking of finding a place to rest.]

When Hermione finished reading, the words seemed to be imprinted deep in her mind. At the same time, a flame suddenly emerged from her hand, swallowed the note directly, and then disappeared.

Douglas looked at her again and asked with a smile:

"Well, did you remember it?"

Hermione thought about it, and the words came to her mind clearly. Just when she was about to say it out loud, she found that she couldn't say it.

She looked at Douglas in surprise.

Douglas observed her reaction, blinked and said:

"A new little spell I've developed. It seems quite effective. It can hide a secret directly within someone's soul. It's a branch of the Fidelius Charm I developed...

Aha, this spell is very useful for hiding places during wartime... Didn't you set up a detective agency? You can use the search and use of this place as a research topic. It depends on who you want to share it with."

After saying that, Douglas left the classroom directly through the side door.

Soon Ron and Harry hurried over.

When Ron saw Hermione here, he said dissatisfiedly:

"Why didn't you call us when you came? Harry and I waited in the common room for a long time, and it was Parvati (Parvati Patil, Hermione's roommate) who told us that you were not in the dormitory at all..."

Hermione didn't want to explain the time-turner, so she asked quickly:

"Did you bring everything?"

Harry pulled out a registration form and a stack of test questions from his bag.

Soon, people came in one after another at the classroom door. Most of the people who came today were familiar classmates in the same grade.

When Ron saw Luna Lovegood walk in, he nudged Harry, who was sitting in the middle. Harry frowned slightly. He still remembered what Luna Lovegood's father had said in his family's magazine at the beginning of the school year.

He tugged at Hermione, who was explaining the activity to her Hufflepuff classmate Hannah Abbott, and Hermione followed Harry's gaze.

Luna walked slowly into the classroom, accidentally bumping into the table beside her. All kinds of strange accessories on her body swayed as she walked.

Hermione whispered:

"Don't forget our principles!"

After that, she continued talking to Hannah.

Harry shrugged and said to Ron:

"Aren't you neighbors? You'll be the one to receive her, Vice President Weasley!"

Hearing Harry's call, Ron raised an eyebrow, cleared his throat, and took out a test question:

"Good afternoon, Miss Luna Lovegood, I'm Ron Weasley and..."

But Luna's eyes bypassed him and looked at Harry.

"You are Harry Potter."

Harry didn't expect the other party to talk to him, so he replied calmly:

"I know this. Actually, we met last semester, but you said we were all full of bugs in our heads..."

Luna immediately corrected:

"It's not just any insect, it's a harassment fly. I heard..."

Ron interrupted her with a cough:

"Ahem, it's obvious that I'm the one receiving you..."

Luna turned her head, looked at Ron carefully, tilted her head and said:

"I heard you can help me find the Scimitar-Horned Snorlax?"

Ron was stunned. Was this such a high-level question right at the start?

Obviously this touched upon his blind spot in knowledge, and he quickly turned to look at Hermione.

Hermione obviously heard Luna's words, frowned slightly, and then said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Lovegood, I've never heard of that creature. If you really want to find it, you can post a quest after joining the club. Of course, that requires you to pass the test."

Luna didn't seem to hear what Hermione said. She just felt a little unhappy that she was called the Scimitar-Horned Snorkeller by that creature. She emphasized:

"It's a Crumple-Horned Snorkeller. It's a shy, friendly creature that hates light and heat. It prefers cold, damp places—such as swamps, dense forests, and caves. It might also be adept at using magic to quickly move around, similar to Apparition, making it difficult to detect."

When the students around her heard her talk about this magical animal, they looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

The Ravenclaw students knew Luna, and they all shook their heads and said to the people around them:

"Don't take the crazy girl's words too seriously..."

Ron knew he couldn't handle this, so he quickly took out a test and handed it to Luna:

"This is the test for joining the club. After you answer it, Professor Holmes will make a choice. If he thinks you are suitable, then you can join us and then he will issue the mission..."

After Luna took the parchment, she asked curiously:

"You mean Professor Holmes?"

Ron shrugged and said with a smile:

"Of course, this society was founded at the suggestion of Professor Holmes..."

Before he could finish his words, Luna lowered her head to look at the test questions, turned around and left the classroom.

Ron looked at her back, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing...

As Luna left, there was a commotion at the door.

The students in the classroom who were discussing the test questions turned their heads to look.

The person who came was Draco Malfoy from Slytherin.

It can be said that

"The first time a wish is granted, the crooked-horned snoring beast is a threat to everyone.

Porter is running a club on campus, and Pony is here to cause trouble."

Chapter 202 Is Slytherin scared?

When everyone in the classroom saw the Slytherin people come in, they all looked over.

The Ravenclaw students stood on both sides of the classroom, while the Hufflepuff students who had a good relationship with Harry stood behind Harry and his classmates.

Gryffindor had already registered in the common room, so only Harry and the other two were present.

Hermione suppressed her disgust and stood on either side of Harry with Ron.

Although all four colleges can sign up, it's Gryffindor's game after all. Slytherins either come to cause trouble or not come, so they can join the team led by Gryffindor, haha...

So, at this time no one would think that Draco Malfoy was here to sign up.

After seeing everyone's reaction, Draco sneered, then raised his chin and said to Harry:

"Didn't you say that anyone from the four major colleges can apply? What? Do you look down on us Slytherins, or does the four major colleges of Hogwarts not include Slytherin?"

Harry held his eyes, took a deep breath and said:

"Of course, we naturally welcome Slytherins. Do you want to join?"

Draco nodded and said:

"I heard that after joining, you can issue tasks. Is this true? If it's true, let's join."

After saying this, he gave a smug smile to Goyle and Crabbe behind him.

Harry and the other two also smiled smugly, quickly took out three pieces of parchment and handed them over.

"As long as you complete these fifteen test questions, you can join."

Suddenly, Draco and the other two's expressions changed, as if they were trying to make things difficult for them, and they did not reach out to take the test questions from Harry's hand.

Ron looked Draco up and down and said with a sneer:

"We adhere to the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Not only you, but even Gryffindors who want to join must fill out this test. This is Professor Holmes's requirement. If you find it difficult... then don't join."

When Ron said this, Harry and Hermione looked at him at the same time, and then looked at the small door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

The rumor became more and more outrageous, and they were worried that if it got out, they would think that this detective agency was founded by Professor Holmes.

If the professor knew about this, the three of them would be in big trouble.

When Draco and the other two heard that it was Professor Holmes' arrangement, they quickly took the test.

When they saw the test questions, they were all confused. Draco was relatively okay, but Goyle and Crabbe frowned, tugged at Draco and whispered:

"Or maybe we should just forget it."

"This question seems like a paper, and I can't even finish the homework..."

Draco shook his head and then read over every question on the test.

He looked up and asked:

"No problem, we will write it. I hope you won't find other excuses when the time comes."

After saying that, Draco turned and left. Goyle and Crabbe were stunned and quickly followed him.

Looking at the backs of several people, Ron snorted disdainfully, and then asked:

"Are you really going to let them join in?"

Hermione sighed and said helplessly:

"Do you think there is anyone who knows You-Know-Who and Black better than Slytherin? With their participation, we can get more information."

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Is that all?

Then everyone started talking.

"Is Slytherin scared?"

"Don't you think about whose classroom this is? No matter how high their expectations are, they're still afraid of too much homework."

After hearing those words, Goyle and Crabbe turned around and glared at everyone, then waved their fists.

Draco also looked around, sneered, and said:

"let's go!"

Leaving behind a laugh.

Thursday's Defense Against the Dark Arts class for Slytherin.

At the beginning of the class, Draco Malfoy was holding three pieces of parchment, one of which was two feet long, and the other two were only five or six inches long.

Douglas took the parchment, which read [Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Charon Detective Agency Registration Test], and glanced at Draco doubtfully.

"Mr. Malfoy, I think you should understand that it is Defense Against the Dark Arts class time and your detective agency is after 5pm."

Draco looked at Douglas and said seriously:

"Professor, Mr. Potter from Gryffindor said that this test paper will eventually be given to you. As your class representative, I think it is not appropriate to trouble them to forward it..."

Douglas was stunned. How did this matter fall into his hands again?

His face looked a little unhappy, but he still accepted the application forms from Draco and the other two, and then continued the class. Then the classroom was filled with the sound of people reciting.

Thursday's last Defense Against the Dark Arts class was for Gryffindor's third years.

Douglas called Harry up as soon as the class started and asked:

"Will you tell me about Dementors?"

Harry was a little confused after hearing Douglas' question, then turned to look at Hermione.

Douglas knocked on the table and said:

"What are you looking at? Do you expect Miss Granger to remind you during the exam?"

Harry scratched his head and said somewhat unsurely:

"Professor, I remember there was no mention of Dementors in the third-year textbook, right?"
