Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Neville scratched his head anxiously. He didn't want to give up directly, but he couldn't think of a good way to get out for a while.

The pit was dug straight, with no protruding areas around it, making it impossible for him to gain leverage.

Soon Douglas's voice came over:

"Mr. Longbottom, why don't you admit defeat? You can't keep all the students waiting for you."

Neville said quickly:

"Professor, wait, wait, I'll think of a solution soon...right away..."

Neville was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He had memorized many spells, so he believed that he would be able to find a way.

"Calm down, calm down, I need to calm down. Professor Holmes said that when you encounter danger, the first thing you need to do is to stay calm..."

At this time, he saw the weeds growing at the entrance of the cave, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He took out his wand, pointed it at the weeds and began to cast a growth spell.

He might not be so confident about other spells, but he had been practicing spells involving herbology diligently.

The pile of weeds quickly grew to where he could reach them. He pulled at it with his hands but felt it was not strong enough.

So he continued to cast spells on the weeds next to him...

Just when he thought everything was safe and he could climb up, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking up, he found that the mouse was actually gnawing on the weeds that he had worked so hard to grow with magic.

Neville was furious, this was the best way he could think of to climb up.

He quickly drew out his wand and cast a freezing spell directly at the mouse. This was a spell he had practiced specifically in order to pass the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical class last year.

Originally he just wanted to scare the mouse away, but he didn't expect that the mouse might be too focused on chewing the weeds and didn't notice Neville's actions, and was hit directly by his spell.

Neville was overjoyed and quickly pulled the grass to climb up. Soon he showed his head and half of his body was lying at the entrance of the cave.

He didn't bother to completely climb out of the hole, and quickly stretched out a hand to grab the trapped mouse. Just as he was about to put the mouse in his pocket, his hand suddenly loosened, and the whole person and the mouse fell into the pit again.

But he no longer cared at this time because he really caught the mouse.

"Professor, I caught the mouse!"

He immediately put the mouse in his pocket and climbed up again.

Not caring about the dirt all over his body, he excitedly ran to Douglas and took the mouse out.

"professor......"

The classmates around him looked at Nawei, who was dirty but looked excited, and applauded.

Ron whispered to Harry:

"Are you the professor's nephew, or is it Neville? I remember that during the practical class last year, Neville gave him a high score individually, and this year he was given a cactus."

Harry thought about it and realized that it was true, but he still said:

"Neville really deserves this. After all, when no one else recognized the plant, only Neville did. What special effects does Hermione have with that plant..."

Hermione shook her hair, looked at Harry and said seriously:

"do not know!"

Because Neville started it so well, Ron's Malaysian party was automatically ignored by everyone.

So, people followed suit. Some used the freezing spell but missed the mouse, but it rebounded and froze them. Some tried to lure the mouse into a pit, but ended up falling in themselves...

Of course, there were also successes. For example, Harry, taking advantage of his status as Gryffindor Seeker, used the Snake Path to quickly catch the mouse; Hermione, relying on her knowledge of the Devil's Snare, dug it out directly and threw it at the mouse...

The person Douglas regretted entering the scene the most was Seamus Finnigan, who, with his talent, blew several large rocks into rubble.

At the end of the class, Douglas assigned the homework and gave the pot of rice to Neville as promised.

The students around gathered around curiously.

"Neville, what exactly does this cactus do?"

"This isn't a cactus. It's covered with boils, not thorns..."

"Why does this look like a diseased internal organ... Could it be an internal organ, a wizard's hairy heart?"

As he was speaking, one of the classmates directly reached out and poked Mibu Mibao on top.

Neville shouted quickly:

"Don't!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand had already touched him.

Neville closed his eyes with a tragic look on his face...

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

In an instant, a juice spurted out from every boil on the plant.

Streams of sticky, smelly, dark green juice sprayed onto the faces and bodies of all the students surrounding them.

It even sprayed into the mouths of several students, who quickly bent over and vomited...

Neville quickly comforted everyone and said:

"Don't worry, this is not poisonous..."

The students around who were not sprayed turned to look at Douglas.

Douglas smiled and nodded and said:

"Mibu Mibao is indeed not poisonous."

But the smell, like that of manure, was really bad.

When Douglas returned to the office to prepare for dinner, he found that Dobby was not there.

Only then did he remember that he had been in a hurry to go to class after kicking Blake back at noon and had forgotten to remove the fireplace restriction.

At this time, Wangcai also came out of the treasure bowl, yawning and gesturing in front of Douglas.

This was a complaint to Douglas for leaving him alone in the office for an entire afternoon and not letting Dobby accompany him.

Douglas rubbed Wangcai's little head and unlocked the fireplace's teleportation function.

As soon as I untied it, I saw a dog suddenly rush out.

Douglas was startled. Could it be that Blake had been crawling into the fireplace all afternoon? Otherwise, how could he get in here so quickly?

The dog that Sirius turned into rushed out of the fireplace and pounced directly at Douglas.

Douglas certainly wouldn't let him off. He kicked Sirius to the ground with a whip kick.

Wangcai grabbed Douglas' clothes tightly to prevent himself from being thrown out.

At this time, Dobby also came out from the fireplace and said excitedly:

"Boss, it was Dobby who didn't keep an eye on Mr. Black. He originally wanted to come directly to Hogwarts from London, but I stopped him. Then Mr. Black kept bumping into the fireplace, and Dobby didn't keep an eye on him..."

Sirius's voice suddenly came over and said:

"It's not Dobby's fault...but you're really strong. In your Animagus state, you can even arm wrestle Moon-Face when he's transformed into a werewolf..."

Sirius admired as he rubbed his shoulders.

When Wangcai saw Dobby, he slipped directly from Douglas's shoulder and then climbed onto Dobby's shoulder.

Then he used his little paw to pat Dobby's big head comfortingly.

Moved, Dobby wiped his tears with a handkerchief, then took out a gold galleon...

Douglas shook his head helplessly, and seeing the looks of the two of them, he couldn't help laughing.

Sirius also said:

"Like owner, like pet."

Douglas glanced over and said dissatisfiedly:

"Padfoot, what did you say?"

Sirius spoke first:

"Aha, Harry time has come, I'm not here to see you."

Douglas snorted coldly and hung up the peephole.

"Hmph! Sirius, you're done. You'll definitely be a son's slave from now on!"

Mibumibao:

This rare plant, native to Asia, resembles a small gray cactus, but instead of thorns, it's covered in boils that pulsate slightly, resembling diseased internal organs. The Mibumibao has a powerful self-defense mechanism. When attacked, its boils become powerful weapons, emitting a thick, foul-smelling dark green liquid. However, the liquid is non-toxic.

"The Warlock's Hairy Heart" from The Tales of Beedle the Bard

The protagonist of this story is a handsome, wealthy, and intelligent young wizard. Believing that emotions are a human weakness, he uses dark magic to prevent himself from falling in love. The wizard, somewhat complacent, feels that others envy his perfect life of solitude. Therefore, when he overhears two servants discussing him, he is furious. One servant expresses sympathy for the wizard, while the other mocks him for his inability to find a wife.

The wizard, whose self-esteem was severely hit, decided to find a beautiful, magically talented and wealthy woman to be his wife so that others would envy him.

The next day, he had the good fortune to meet such a woman. Although the girl was "strange and disgusted" by the wizard, he persuaded her and her family to attend a banquet in his castle. The wizard tried to woo the young woman with sweet words stolen from a poet, but she simply said that she would only believe his words if she thought he had a heart. The wizard took her to the castle dungeon and showed her the enchanted crystal box that contained his beating heart.

Because the heart had been separated from the body for so long, it had become shrunken and covered with long black hair. The girl asked the wizard to return the heart to its original place, and he agreed. Overjoyed, the girl ran up to him and embraced him. However, the heart had been imprisoned for so long that it had become reckless and wild, its desires fierce and perverse. So the wizard had to find a real human heart. He wanted to replace his own with the girl's, but the hairy heart was too strong to allow him to use magic to remove it. No longer wanting to be controlled by his own heart, the wizard used a dagger to rip it out of his chest. He collapsed on the girl's body, still clutching the heart in his hands.

Chapter 218 Hogwarts Rat Catching Training

When the peep mirror screen opened, Sirius waited for a long time, but did not see Harry.

He said doubtfully:

"Has something happened to Harry?"

Douglas said as he sorted out the students' homework:

"No, just now when get out of class was over, I saw him walking towards the Quidditch field."

Sirius counted the days, nodded, and continued looking into the mirror.

This time it was Douglas' turn to ask curiously:

"Harry's not here, what are you looking at?"

Sirius said without turning his head:

"Waiting for that Weasley kid to bring that damn traitor over..."

Douglas said without looking up:

"He won't bring Wormtail out lately..."

Sirius turned around and asked:

"why?"

Douglas looked up at Ron in the mirror and said:

"He came to me a few days ago and wanted to ask if there was something wrong with his mouse. He was sleeping all day long but his mouse was getting healthier and stronger.

I told him that Banban was in a metamorphosis stage and would have a second spring after a year of slumber. The best thing to do was not to move him. Then, I gave him the cage.

Sirius looked at Douglas and said expectantly:

"It's really just an ordinary cage... I mean, did you mix anything weird in there?"

Douglas said without blinking:

"Of course... no!"

Sirius, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "Really? I don't believe it!" and stared at Douglas closely.

Suddenly Douglas smiled and said:

"Well, I set a nightmare spell on the cage. As long as he sleeps in the cage, he will have nightmares all the time..."

Sirius asked doubtfully:

"What's the use?"
