Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

He raised his eyebrows at Ollivander very proudly.

What I mean is, when it comes to fooling people, I’m no worse than you.

Ollivander blinked his silver eyes, meaning that he was willing to admit defeat.

At this time, Ron suddenly said:

"But it was you, Professor, who bought me the wand, not my father..."

"Oh!"

Douglas said unhappily:

“Don’t worry about the details.

Hurry and choose your wand. Professor McGonagall only gives you an hour.

You've almost wasted all the time!"

Ron muttered in grievance, "It's you who's wasting time, okay?"

Waiting for Ron to choose a 14-inch willow wand made of unicorn hair.

Forty minutes into the hour.

Douglas prepared to take Ron back to the Leaky Cauldron, where they would wait for the fireplace to connect to Hogwarts again.

As he passed Florin Fusco's ice cream shop, he glanced at it cautiously.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Slaine was no longer there.

It wasn't that he hated being friends with Slaine.

But when he really didn't want to see Slaine, he would always urge him to submit his manuscript.

See, editors in the Muggle world wouldn't bother themselves the way he did.

Of course, it may also be because the editor in the Muggle world couldn't find him at all.

Just when he thought he had avoided Slaine, a figure rushed out of Mrs. Primpianier's Beauty Pharmacy across from Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Shop.

"Hello, dear Professor Holmes, I didn't expect to see you in London at this time of the year!"

Douglas forced a smile and hugged Slaine directly.

Then he leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"I'm out shopping with students, please don't talk nonsense!

The manuscript will be sent to the company on Monday!"

Slaine, who originally had a resentful look on his face, heard Douglas's next words.

He immediately smiled and patted Douglas on the back vigorously.

He whispered, "Deal!"

Douglas quickly let go of Slaine. It was inappropriate for two grown men to hug each other in the street.

He glanced at the storefront of Mrs. Primpianer's Beauty Apothecary.

Said jokingly:

"Aha, I'm out shopping with my students. Are you, a grown man, interested in beauty potions?"

Slaine said helplessly:

“Actually I’m here with Romi and little Rose.

They're still picking things up inside, why don't we go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink?"

Douglas said happily:

"Of course, but I only have twenty minutes, and I have to get back to Hogwarts through the fireplace in twenty minutes.

You know, this is Professor McGonagall's arrangement!"

After saying that, Slaine quickly ran into Mrs. Primpianier's Beauty Pharmacy to tell his wife.

Then, his wife Romi brought little Rose out to greet Douglas.

Then he walked towards the Leaky Cauldron, chatting and laughing with Douglas.

Ron felt neglected again.

He glanced at the Florin Fusco Ice Cream Shop next to him, then felt in his pocket.

I had no choice but to follow Douglas pitifully, maybe I could get a glass of juice.

When the fireplace connection time was up, Ron drank the half cup of pumpkin soda in his hand in one gulp.

This led to what happened right after returning to Professor McGonagall's office.

Ron burped loudly in front of Professor McGonagall.

This made Douglas roll his eyes.

After Ron and Douglas said goodbye.

As soon as I returned to the Gryffindor common room, I saw Harry sitting at a table in the corner, memorizing his lessons, looking pitiful.

Hermione was doing her homework while giving Ginny some pointers on her Transfiguration paper.

Then he reminded Harry where he was facing.

George and Fred are working on new ways to cheat.

For them, even if they failed to cheat, the worst that could happen was that they would have to spend another five or six hours memorizing books in Professor Holmes' office.

As soon as they saw their beloved brother coming back, they rushed over excitedly.

The two of them sandwiched Ron in the middle and said happily:

"Ron, good job!"

"Now we are truly brothers in distress!"

"I heard that you and Harry have to memorize four whole subjects!"

"I want to interview my dear brother. How do you feel?"

Ron struggled desperately, but still couldn't break free from the clutches of his two brothers.

Unconvinced, he said:

"Humph! I will definitely finish memorizing it.

Although you only have to memorize one book, you need to report to Professor Holmes every day.

Hey, Harry and I only go there on weekends!"

George and Fred looked at each other and wailed in pain.

No one had reminded them of this before.

Hermione came over, grabbed Ron, and said to the Weasley twins dissatisfiedly:

"If you guys aren't studying, please don't disturb Ron from studying!

According to Professor Holmes's arrangement, Ron and Harry will definitely get very good grades at the end of this school year.

What will Mrs. Weasley think of you both then?"

George and Fred wailed again.

"Oh my god, are we going to have another Percy in our family?"

"Mom will be so happy, new robes, new pet..."

"Looks like we'll have to use my brother's old stuff from now on!"

This made some of the students around laugh.

Hermione glared at the twins, then grabbed Ron and said:

"Don't listen to them and start memorizing the book. If you don't finish it by the end of the school year,

That would be truly terrifying for you!"

Ginny glanced at Harry furtively, then smiled and said to Ron:

"Hermione is right. Given the relationship between Professor Holmes and Mom, Mom will definitely know about your situation at school by then..."

Then Ron came back to his senses from what his twin brothers said and muttered softly:

“It seems they are right.

If I become a better student, can I be like Percy, no longer need to wear old clothes and can use new textbooks..."

Ron, as if injected with chicken blood, said to Hermione with red eyes:

"Hermione, can you teach me how to memorize this stuff quickly?

I want to surpass Percy and become the best child in my mother's eyes!"

Harry, Hermione, and Ginny looked at each other.

Could it be that Ron was under Percy's Imperius Curse?

When Ron finished reading the first page, he yawned deeply.

"I've memorized the first section. Is that enough for me to recite in Professor Holmes' office tonight?"

"I've been running all day today. I'm really sleepy!"

"Okay, Hermione, you don't have to keep nagging me. I won't go back to the dormitory to sleep. I'll just lie down and take a nap. I'll get up later and recite it later! That should be fine, right?"

"How about I show you my new wand? I didn't dare take it out just now because George and Fred were here!"

"Look at this paint, look at this beautiful willow wood grain..."

See this situation.

Harry, Hermione, and Ginny shrugged at each other.

It seems they were overthinking it just now.

Chapter 45 Douglas: I was almost fired!

After leaving Professor McGonagall's office.

Douglas found a Hufflepuff student in the hall and asked.

Then he walked towards the greenhouse behind the castle.

Outside the first greenhouse, there is a circle of dyer's broom planted. The flowers of this plant have an anesthetic effect.

If someone accidentally inhales too much pollen, the body will become so excited that they lose consciousness.

When Professor Sprout, who was taking care of the greenhouse, saw Douglas entering the greenhouse.

He shouted quickly:

"Oh, my goodness, Douglas, are you going to make me put up a sign on the greenhouse door saying Douglas Holmes is not allowed inside?

These cranberries were planted by Mrs. Poppy and are used to treat diarrhea and vomiting."

As he spoke, he ran over and dragged Douglas to the greenhouse door with disgust.

I was afraid that every time Douglas took a step forward, he would pick something to eat.

Douglas quickly wiped the cranberries he had picked and skillfully put them into his mouth.

Then he chuckled.

Professor Sprout glared at him and said helplessly:

"You're not afraid, these berries are poisonous."

Douglas shrugged and said proudly:

"Don't you see whose student I am? Cranberry berries have great medicinal uses.

It’s especially good for the eyes.”

Professor Sprout interrupted Douglas:
