Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

“Well, it seems that you haven’t forgotten all this knowledge after graduation.

Of course, I hope you remember more than just that you can eat it.

Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Douglas looked around first and saw that there was no one else around.

He leaned over to Professor Sprout and whispered:

"Professor, I'd like to sponsor a batch of Nimbus 2001s for our college's Quidditch team..."

Professor Sprout looked at Douglas doubtfully:

“You want to sponsor seven Nimbus 2001s to the academy?

Douglas, when did you start paying attention to the Hufflepuff Quidditch team?

But this is a good thing, but why are you being so sneaky?"

Douglas blinked and reminded:

"Of course, we have to prevent confidentiality from being leaked. What if other colleges learn we have such advanced equipment and try to imitate it?"

Professor Sprout gave Douglas a look of disdain.

"You think I don't know?

This afternoon Cedric came to tell me that Slytherin had prepared a secret weapon.

It also happens to be Nimbus 2001...

But do you have that many Galleons?

I heard that you have been living in the Muggle area, and Gringotts has always had strict restrictions on large amounts of Muggle currency."

Douglas nodded quickly. "I have a considerable amount of funds in the wizarding world, enough to pay for these flying brooms."

Gringotts has always had strict restrictions on the exchange of Muggle currency for wizard currency.

Not everyone can go to Gringotts to exchange Muggle currency for Galleons.

First of all, Muggles are not eligible to make any exchanges at Gringotts.

Second, Muggle students at Hogwarts can exchange a certain percentage of Galleons each year.

Third, if adult wizards want to exchange wizard currency, they must have proof of income from Muggle currency. Exchanges cannot be made from sources other than normal income.

Furthermore, the exchange quantity is strictly limited and cannot exceed one thousand gold galleons per year.

(Gringotts possesses various spells for identifying magical contracts, which can detect the source of funds.)

Fourth, there are no restrictions on wizards exchanging Muggle currency.

The third one is the most critical, as it completely limits the impact of the Muggle economy on the wizarding economy.

Due to the cultural differences between the two worlds, many wizards have unhappy lives even in the wizarding world.

But when they want to live in the Muggle world, they will find that their lives will be even worse without magic.

Unless they give up their wizarding dignity, relearn Muggle knowledge and then find a job, it is obvious that basically no one will choose to do so. After all, this would be equivalent to wasting their seven years at Hogwarts.

It would be even more difficult for them to find a manual job in the Muggle world.

Sprout looked at Douglas with a strange look, then seemed to be relieved.

Then he said:

"Then let's do as you say. Consider it your compensation for what happened before!

Just have someone send the broom to my office and I'll make the arrangements then!

If you have nothing else to do, leave.

Don’t come near the greenhouse unless necessary!

As a Hogwarts professor, you should act like a professor, but why are you still acting the same as when you were in school?"

After saying this, Professor Sprout turned and left, leaving Douglas stunned.

That's it?

compensate?

Professor Sprout, who had just entered the greenhouse, said to Douglas:

"Hold on!"

Douglas was delighted. Was this a reward for himself?

Soon Professor Sprout came out carrying a basket.

"Mrs. Poppy won't need all the cranberries, so you can have them.

As a thank you for your contribution to Hufflepuff.

If you really like to eat this, I will arrange for someone to grow some in the orchard."

After saying this, Professor Sprout turned and left.

Douglas couldn't understand why Professor Sprout didn't think of awarding him an honorary alumnus medal.

No wonder, so few graduates sponsor Hogwarts...

and many more......

Douglas, who was walking back with the basket, suddenly thought of a question.

Hogwarts' operating funds are basically sponsored by the school board.

As a Muggle-born wizard, he suddenly sponsored a batch of brooms to the school.

In a sense, this is like touching the cake of twelve school boards.

Then Douglas felt a sense of fear.

He suddenly understood why Professor Sprout had defined his actions as compensation rather than sponsorship.

I also understand why Professor Sprout didn't mention giving him any commendation.

If he didn't do this, he would probably be complained by some students' parents the next day.

With the goal of doing everything for the students, they would probably force Headmaster Dumbledore to expel them.

(The school board only has the power to appoint and suspend the principal, while the principal appoints and suspends the school's teachers.)

After all, the school board doesn't want to see anyone sponsoring Hogwarts without their knowledge.

Douglas returned to the office with a feeling of fear. If he was fired because of this, it would be too unfair to work part-time.

After returning to the office, the first thing I do is drink a cup of tea to calm my nerves.

Not long after, Professor McGonagall came over and invited Douglas to have afternoon tea at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade tomorrow.

Douglas agreed when he heard that several Hogwarts professors had returned.

After Professor McGonagall left, Douglas couldn't help but think of the graceful and charming Ms. Rosmerta.

Who’s youth is without dreams?

Who doesn’t have feelings in his youth?

Chapter 46 Long Live Professor Holmes

Just when Douglas was missing his beautiful youth.

His thoughts were interrupted by a group visit from seventh graders.

Douglas saw that he didn't have enough chairs in his office.

I picked up a few books from the bookshelf and turned them into chairs.

Then he asked everyone to sit down.

While making tea, he asked:

"After this week's observation, what are your thoughts?"

The seventh graders who were about to say something quickly shut their mouths.

One of the Ravenclaw girls said:

"Professor, I feel that our Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching is very poor.

Of course, I'm not talking about you. After all, as you said, this week is the baseline test week.

Due to the instability of the teaching of this course in previous years, many of us, including ourselves, have not accumulated much knowledge in Defense Against the Dark Arts in a systematic way..."

Douglas listened carefully to everyone's report.

Then he took the parchment from their hands.

I read it carefully and commented on some of the content on the spot.

Douglas is very satisfied with this class of seventh graders.

To be precise, since the birth of Professor Year, every student who can enter the Defense Against the Dark Arts class with good OLS results.

They are all good seedlings.

Douglas put the parchment aside after reading it.

Then look around.

He tapped the table lightly and said:

"I know that the quality of Defense Against the Dark Arts has always been unstable.

Choosing this course is more of a recognition of your family education or your ability to learn independently...

Oh, you don’t have to deny it so quickly. Everyone has gone through this age.

But from what I've learned this week, it seems like you haven't mastered some of the sixth-grade spells yet?

This is far worse than what we had back then.

Don’t rush to deny it. How many people can release the Iron Armor Curse?

What about silent spells?

What about protection against the Imperius Curse? The Patronus Charm?

What about illegal black magic? How many have you seen?

Don't tell me what's in the textbook, I know it better than you do...

Oh my god, I wonder what you were doing last semester?"

Mario Nott from Slytherin couldn't help but curl his lips when Douglas mentioned last semester.

"Professor Holmes, you weren't at Hogwarts last year, so you don't know anything about Professor Quirrell.

He is nervous all day long and just reads from the textbook in class.

Of course, if someone asked a question, he would answer it, but with his stuttering speed.

We even doubt he can even cast a complete spell...

Haha, who would have thought that in the end, he would be defeated by three first-year students."

When he said this, the other seventh graders all showed a look of contempt.

Douglas sneered:

"You all think so?

So you didn't really attend Quirinus's classes last year?

Haha, you guys are like this, and you still think you can become an Auror in the future?

Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind, classmates!

If he was really that bad, why would Headmaster Dumbledore look for him?

You don't think you are more powerful than Headmaster Dumbledore, do you?"

A student below muttered:
