Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

He was punished to pick up manure specifically for fertilizing magical plants.

But the Weasley brothers, having made a mistake last night, dared to cause trouble again today.

To offend three professors at the same time, this person is truly talented.

Douglas put the note away, indicating that he understood.

Then ask all the students to line up in a long line in the corridor.

This scene attracted the Slytherin students who were preparing for the Charms class not far away to stop and watch.

Because their next class is Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is also a practical exam, just like Gryffindor's.

But unfortunately, no one dared to skip Professor Flitwick's class.

When class time came, everyone rushed into the classroom.

In the corridor, Douglas began his speech:

"Students, don't be nervous.

The content of this class is very simple, which is to summarize what you have learned in the previous three years.

I have selected some dark magic creatures that may appear in future OLS exams.

Your main task is to use what you have learned.

Defeat or subdue them.

How about it, it’s very simple! "

Haha, simple?

Everyone looked at each other.

I have almost forgotten everything taught in the textbooks for the first three years.

Although there was an exam in the last class, many people looked through their previous textbooks.

But I had learned so many dark magic creatures in the past three years, how could I possibly remember them all?

Everyone originally thought that the practical exam was just about using the spells they had learned before.

But who would have thought that it was necessary to use the right spell at the right time.

Douglas ignored everyone discussing in low voices in the corridor.

Directly named:

"Mr. George Weasley, as the class representative you go in first!"

One of the twins pushed the other one forward:

"George, the professor lets you go first!"

The one who was pushed out said quickly:

"Oh my God, George, how could you do this, Professor, I'm Fred and he's George!"

To be honest, Douglas couldn't tell which one was George and which one was Fred.

"If you find this amusing, Mr. Weasley.

How about adding a Charms class to your lockdown?

This place is not far from the Charms classroom, I think Professor Flitwick will not refuse my proposal!"

Douglas always felt that the advantages of his confinement arrangement were too great, which caused the two brothers to start playing badly.

Finally, under Douglas's threat, George finally stood up on his own.

He raised his wand and stepped carefully into the classroom.

Douglas asked the other students to wait outside and he followed them in.

As soon as you enter, you will be surrounded by a small pond. Only by passing through this pond can you enter the next level.

The pond is about two meters deep.

Just swim across safely.

George looked at the pond. There seemed to be a lot of water plants underneath, and the water was a bit turbid and unclear.

He hesitated, glanced at Douglas, and then looked at the lake in front of him.

Finally, he slowly walked towards the water.

Douglas stared at a certain place in the pond, where he could vaguely see a sickly green creature with pointed little horns. It made faces at Douglas and George, constantly extending and flexing its long claws.

This guy, who looks somewhat similar to the legendary water monkey, is Grindylow.

The grindylow in the pond was caught by Douglas from Black Lake.

Strictly speaking, it is not a very dangerous creature as long as you are calm enough.

It usually attacks people who get close to it and drags them into the water with its long, thin claws.

But he is different from the water ghost in Chinese legends. He is tangible.

As long as you stay calm when you are caught underwater.

You can get rid of them by stepping hard on their heads.

George, lying by the pond, felt around but didn't feel any danger.

So, he rowed forward with confidence and boldness.

His robe soaked in water made him feel very uncomfortable and he wanted to paddle to the other side as quickly as possible.

Then use magic to dry the water off your body.

Soon he felt something was wrong.

The faster he paddled, the more clearly he could feel an inexplicable resistance on the water surface.

It's like being stuck in a swamp.

With years of experience in pranks, he quickly realized that the pond must have been cast under a swamp curse.

The larger his movements, the easier it would be to get stuck in it.

George smiled slightly and quietly raised his middle finger towards Douglas with his left hand underwater.

When he slowed down his movements, the resistance on the water surface indeed decreased instantly.

Just when he was feeling proud,

He found that his ankle seemed to be grabbed by something.

My heart tightened involuntarily, and I subconsciously increased my paddling speed.

The effect of the swamp curse immediately became apparent.

Plus, the underwater things are quite strong.

Soon, George was dragged into the water by Grindylow.

Douglas saw the string of bubbles rising from the water.

I couldn't help but shake my head. This kid wasn't calm at all.

Through the water, Douglas could see that George underwater actually took out his wand and pointed it at Grindylow.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, a string of bubbles emerged from the water.

Finally, George, whose face turned red due to lack of oxygen, kicked wildly.

Accidentally kicked Grindylow in the head.

The pain forced one of the grindylows to let go.

But because George's movements were too violent, the water around him became like a swamp.

Let him get deeply involved.

Douglas looked at the time and saw that only three minutes had passed.

He sighed, waved his wand, and a rope next to him seemed to have eyes.

It flew underwater, entangled George, who was obviously exhausted, and quickly dragged him out of the water.

George returned to the shore and knelt beside Douglas, coughing violently.

Douglas tapped George's back gently with his wand, and his soaked clothes quickly dried.

Then Douglas took out a medicine bottle filled with black liquid from his arms and handed it to George.

After George pinched his nose and drank the liquid, he soon stopped coughing.

He looked at Douglas with an innocent and aggrieved look on his face.

"Professor, isn't this too dangerous?"

Douglas rolled his eyes at him, then pushed the door open and walked out with him.

The inside and outside of the classroom are like two different spaces.

Chapter 30 A Difficult Exam (Part 2)

When everyone outside the classroom saw George, who had just been in for three minutes, came out so quickly.

They discussed:

"No, George!"

"Yeah, that was too fast! Only three minutes!"

"Are the test questions too easy?"

"Look at that expression, did you pass? It's obvious that you didn't even make it through the first round and were kicked out!"

Douglas clapped his hands to quiet everyone down.

Then he said to George:

"Mr. Weasley, why don't you share your experiences and feelings with your classmates?"

George looked at Douglas in surprise and asked doubtfully:

"Professor, didn't you say this was a test?"

Douglas straightened his expression, sighed and said:

“This is a test, but it’s not a life-or-death test.

I allow you to share the lessons of your failure or success with your classmates.

After all, I just want to test your abilities, not let you spend all your energy on this."

In fact, Douglas did not think about preventing those who took the test first from leaking the questions to those who took the test later.

On the one hand, this situation cannot be restricted.

On the other hand, he wanted to use this test to help those students who were weak in spells related to Defense Against the Dark Arts in the previous three years.

Able to consciously relearn those spells.

Reviewing is not difficult, but reviewing in a targeted manner is difficult.

What's more, he also wanted everyone to pass the level quickly so that his class grade could be higher.

George told everyone about his situation.

The students then had a discussion.

"This is too difficult, the Swamp Curse and Grindylow exist at the same time!"

"I do have an idea. What do you say about a vanishing spell?"

"I think a Vanishing Charm would work, just making the lake disappear. But how are we supposed to get over that big hole?"

"There are rocks, water plants and other things in the pit. We can use the Transfiguration Charm to create a ladder!"

George was standing by and heard his classmates' suggestions.

He stamped his feet in anger, wondering why he hadn't thought of it.
