Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

After saying that, he glared at Ginny again. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Ginny stuck out her tongue, then saw Harry looking at her and quickly lowered her head to eat.

As the Gryffindor table argued,

When the Ravenclaw table revealed that Professor Holmes might have been a dark wizard.

Suddenly they heard a chaotic flapping of wings overhead.

Some smart students quickly stuffed the breakfast in front of them into their mouths, as if they were afraid that if they were late, the breakfast would be ruined.

Then hundreds of owls swarmed in from the doors and windows of the Hogwarts Great Hall.

Then it hovers over their heads for a while, and most of the time it delivers letters and newspapers to the customers accurately.

Ron glanced at Hermione and was surprised to see that she had received a copy of the Daily Prophet.

"Hermione, when did you subscribe to the Daily Prophet? Dad said they..."

Hermione interrupted Ron rudely, flipping through the newspaper and saying:

"I subscribed to it last week. No matter what the newspaper says, it is the only way for us students to learn about the changes in the wizarding world so far.

Of course, I'm referring to people like me who come from a background that doesn't have any friends in the wizarding world!"

Many people around who did not subscribe to the Daily Prophet came up to Hermione.

Hermione glanced at the newspaper and turned back to the front page:

“I didn’t expect it to be on the front page!

[Shock! The mysterious man's identity is revealed, it's actually him! ]

Don't interrupt me, wait till I finish reading...

Last night, our publishing house received a message from Mr. Slaine, a famous editor at the Obscuran Book Company, that the author of "Magic Chef", "Full-time Magician", and "Master of All Occupations", "Banana-loving Flathead Brother", has decided to reveal his true identity to everyone.

It is well known that the "Flat-Headed Brother Who Loves Bananas" has been named the best-selling author of the year many times, since 1982...

[…He is Professor Douglas Holmes, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts in the academic year of 1992…]”

Harry walked behind Hermione and saw that next to the article she was reading, there was a picture of a black shadow.

When he first heard the word "mysterious man", not only he, but all the students around him took a breath.

I thought it was Voldemort's return!

When they heard that their favorite author was actually their professor.

The roof of the entire Hogwarts Great Hall was about to be blown off.

Chapter 55: Thank you for your enthusiasm, Senior Tom

In addition to the Daily Prophet, many students also received letters from home.

Draco Malfoy was holding a letter in his hand.

He walked to the Gryffindor table with his two followers, Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe.

While glancing at Harry Potter, he said to his two followers smugly:

"My father wrote to me saying that he was going to hold a grand press conference for Professor Holmes to thank him for taking care of me at school.

And allow me, Draco Malfoy, the second-year Slytherin Defense Against the Dark Arts class representative, as the heir of the family, to personally deliver this letter to Professor Holmes to show the Malfoy family's respect for him..."

After saying this, he raised his neck and swaggered out of the hall with his followers.

Looking at Malfoy's departing back, Ron pinched his throat and said:

"Allow me, Draco Malfoy, the second-year Slytherin Defense Against the Dark Arts class representative... out of respect for his elder...

Oh my god, that's just disgusting.

Our Hermione is the class representative, but she doesn't show off like him.

"Old man, I think Professor Holmes would throw his mouth into the hot pot and rinse it eight times when he heard this name!"

Harry frowned and said:

"Don't you think this is strange?

Malfoy has always looked down on Muggle-born wizards, and I think his father must have felt the same way.

How could they be so kind as to hold a press conference for Professor Holmes?

There must be a conspiracy here!"

Neville stared, read the letter in his hand, and said in surprise:

“My grandmother said that Professor Holmes must be a very powerful wizard.

She said...

Oh!

No!

Bah! Bah! Bah!

Just as Neville was speaking, a belated owl, wobbling but as if aiming, dived into the milk jug in front of Neville.

Milk and feathers splashed all over them.

A falling feather happened to land in Neville's mouth while he was speaking.

“Oh, here we go again!”

Ron grumbled as he lifted the wet owl's claws and pulled it out.

After Hermione used a cleansing spell to remove the milk spots on her body, she complained:

"God, how much Errol loves milk, he always dives into the milk jug every time he comes."

She still remembered that it was this owl that fell into her milk jug at the beginning of the school year.

Ron glanced at Errol, who was slumped over the table, and saw that he had an ordinary envelope in his mouth.

He breathed a sigh of relief, took the envelope, opened it, and said with fear:

“I thought Mom had sent another howler letter.

Oh, Ginny, I'll show it to you after I finish reading it.

Nothing much, Mom asked if it was true that Professor Holmes was a 'flat-headed man who loved bananas'.

She said my owl couldn't seem to send a letter directly to Professor Holmes...

It seems Errol is really getting old…”

Neville still felt a strange taste in his mouth. After hearing what Ron said, he said:

"No, my grandmother also wrote to me saying that our owl couldn't deliver a letter to Professor Holmes.

The professor must have blocked his name so that the owl could not sense and recognize it.

She said it was a very powerful spell that only a very powerful wizard could perform..."

When Hermione heard this, she thought back to all the books she had read and wondered what kind of spell it was.

Ginny noticed Harry's expression and reminded him:

"Shouldn't the most important thing right now be to quickly inform Professor Holmes about the Malfoy family's conspiracy...?

I think...it seems too late!"

While Ginny was speaking, many students were holding letters, and some even took out the letters from Professor Holmes that they had brought with them.

Prepare to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office to ask Professor Holmes for his signature.

But before they could step onto the ceremonial stairs.

He was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Class is about to start, what are you going to do?

Is Professor Holmes leaving Hogwarts?

Or do you all not need to take Defense Against the Dark Arts?

You will naturally see him when you go to class.

Now, eat your meal quietly and go to class!"

Intimidated by Professor McGonagall's authority, the students reluctantly sat back at their tables.

Then they discussed in low voices.

The Weasley twins who hadn't shown up at breakfast time.

He sneaked out from behind the stairs in the hallway.

Taking advantage of the chaotic crowd, he quickly slipped to the Gryffindor table.

He asked in surprise:

"what happened?"

"I feel like I missed out on ten Galleons!"

Ron looked at the two of them and said dissatisfiedly:

"Haha, it turns out it's George and Fred who got up before dawn to memorize their lessons."

Harry pointed at one of the twins and said in surprise:

"What did you eat? Why is there something red at the corner of your mouth?"

Fred wiped his mouth quickly and complained:

"George, you didn't remind me!"

George said with a strange smile:

"Who told you to put chili sauce in tofu pudding?"

Ginny asked curiously:

"Tofu pudding? What is that? I've never seen it before!"

Hermione said:

“It seems like a kind of food, divided into sweet and salty.

When I was in class with Hufflepuff, I heard them argue about this.

It seems to be a Hufflepuff-exclusive delicacy.

How could you sneak into the Hufflepuff common room?"

As she spoke, Hermione looked at George and Fred.

George and Fred shrugged, looked at each other and said:

“Although we have tried...”

“But unfortunately, it didn’t work…”

Then he quickly changed the subject and said:

"What just happened? We were in the kitchen... I mean, we heard cheering from far away!"

"Is Hogwarts going to be closed for the holidays?"

"Oh, Fred that's not a good idea!"

"Yes, that means... we have to face Mom for a long time..."

Ginny snorted coldly:

“I’m going to tell Mom that you don’t want to see her!

unless......"

Ron pushed Ginny away:

"Okay, Ginny, stop it.
