Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

We might have frozen to death long ago.

What's more, the professor might even deduct points from your grade?"

Harry also looked very confused at this time. He tried hard to recall whether the monster in the practical class could really speak.

But after Ron said this, he felt that he had indeed heard the rustling sound just now.

He suddenly felt confused, not knowing whether what he had just experienced was true or false.

He murmured, "But why did the professor release that monster?"

Ron shrugged.

"Who knows? Maybe they think we're not good enough, so they decided to put monsters in the castle to keep us on our toes?"

Chapter 81 Rumors are flying everywhere

It’s a new week again.

Except there is an additional activity of taking the students who are punished to run around the Black Lake.

Everything else is the same as usual.

In the first fifth grade class, perhaps due to the stimulation of the ranking in yesterday's practical class.

Everyone is making rapid progress in learning the Iron Armor Spell.

But it was the second period for Gryffindor second years.

Douglas clearly felt that the atmosphere in the class was a little strange.

He always felt that his classmates were secretly looking at him, and their expressions were a little strange.

He didn't ask too much.

......

Ever since Lockhart was sentenced to five years in Azkaban yesterday.

Some marketing magazines (Douglas gritted his teeth and emphasized that he was referring specifically to The Quibbler) quickly published an in-depth report titled "Was Lockhart Wrongly Accused? A Dirty Deal Between a Bestselling Author and the Government."

Not only did it have some bad influences on him outside of school.

Even within the school, there were some students who were always talking about him behind his back.

Douglas always just laughed it off.

Instead, he comforted those who were worried about him, telling them not to worry about it, as everyone has some bumps and bruises on the road to fame.

And he certainly wouldn't treat the daughter of a magazine editor any differently in class just because the editor drew a picture of himself as the devil under a cloak.

Then, last night he wrote a short letter overnight.

Half-Blood Prince of Slytherin

It tells the story of John Prince, a young wizard who was stranded at the Wood Orphanage in London. After entering Hogwarts, he showed extraordinary talent in potions and dark magic. After his pursuit of a Muggle-born girl failed, he fell in love with another girl and shuttled between senior and junior students in different colleges, engaging in romantic stories.

After graduation, because he had accumulated too many love debts, he was hunted down by his seven mistresses, cut into seven parts, and then sealed in various magic props or animals (necklaces, rings, hairbands, bathtubs, diaries, pet snakes, and mistresses' bodies) to keep him company.

Because those magically sealed limbs can also communicate with people, so the romantic half-blood prince can always stay with these mistresses and chat with them.

Douglas was very satisfied that he could write a wizard story that combined inspiration, romance and horror in just one hour.

At three o'clock in the morning, he sneaked out of Hogwarts again through Animagus and intercepted an owl in mid-air.

Send this book and fifty galleons anonymously to Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood, editor of The Quibbler.

In the letter, he told him that he was a loyal reader of The Quibbler and wanted to thank The Quibbler for having accompanied him through one of his most difficult days.

I hereby dedicate all copyrights and authorship rights of this article to Mr. Lovegood, and all the proceeds finally received shall go to The Quibbler, contributing my part to the flourishing development of the magazine.

Fifty Galleons is the cost of the special journal.

As for whether Mr. Lovegood would be targeted by two masters of dark magic and a top white wizard after the publication, that was not something he could control.

After all, it takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.

The best way to deal with rumors is to quickly cover up one story with another.

And he was not worried about whether the other party would publish it. After all, fifty Galleons were not wasted.

As for whether the story will be popular.

There is no need to worry about it. After all, stories are both true and false, and people will naturally be anxious when they see them.

......

Therefore, he really didn't care at all about what the little wizards said about him.

What surprised him about this class was that quite a few people used a transformation technique called "Snake Speed ​​Skating!"

It is to transform the shoes into a snake that can carry people to slide quickly. It is somewhat similar to the electric skateboard in the Muggle world, but the snake created by the transformation is very realistic and will automatically avoid obstacles in front of it.

Finally, he learned from Hermione that Professor McGonagall had taught this Transfiguration spell to the third graders last week on a whim.

Because of the special nature of this spell, it is like stepping on a snake underfoot, and it has won the love of many Gryffindor students.

So everyone practiced this transformation skill hard over the weekend.

Hermione also said that Professor McGonagall specifically emphasized that the reason she chose snakes was because she felt that snakes were the fastest among reptiles, and there was absolutely no other meaning.

Douglas Haha.

Is he planning to fight in his own Defense Against the Dark Arts class?

Should we gather the four major colleges?

He knocked the wake-up stick himself and then sang the opening poem: "The horse is thin but has long hair and fat hooves; the couple sleeps fighting for the warm kang"?

Fortunately, I chose plan B in time, otherwise my morning exercise plan would have been aborted.

As expected, there were the third-year Ravenclaws and the first-year Hufflepuffs in the afternoon.

They all brought out the unique skills of their own dean.

Gryffindor's Snake Slide Charm and Ravenclaw's Translocation Charm still depend on each person's spell level. It is difficult for those with poor level to pass it.

Although Slytherin relies on potions, it also needs the support of students' physical fitness. If the physical fitness is too poor, the growth rate is very limited.

But Hufflepuff...tsk tsk...

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

The entire process was done with the help of two new vine plants that Professor Sprout had placed in the common room at the weekend.

This long vine plant only has one thick vine.

But it has a special feature. Put it on the ground, then the wizard grabs its end to adjust the direction, and then shouts to make it grow quickly.

When the vines sense the magic power in the wizard's body, they will quickly stretch ten meters in the adjusted direction as if stimulated, and then quickly retract when the wizard lets go.

After the first Hufflepuff student entered the passage carrying two pots of plants.

There were two students, one of whom was pushed against the wall by the vines because of a problem with adjusting the direction, and the other was pushed directly against the ceiling because he was in a hurry and did not adjust the direction.

The other students passed the test quickly in one go.

Because they passed the test so quickly, two other students who received simple treatment were given a second chance to pass the test.

In less than half a class period, all the first-year Hufflepuff students had completed the test.

And the first class to pass the test was Hufflepuff.

What can Douglas say?

I could only shout in my heart that Professor Sprout is awesome.

Finally, the first-grade class representative, perhaps out of excitement or fear of Douglas's sullen expression, tremblingly said he would take the two pots of plants home with him because they would need them for the second and third-grade exams...

Douglas was in a bad mood that day.

Of course, on the contrary, the Hogwarts students were in a good mood.

During lunch time, a message came from Gryffindor.

A piece of news that was exaggerated by Ron and testified by the famous savior Harry Potter, then circulated within Gryffindor, and it was unknown how many times it had reached other houses.

"Professor Holmes released the monsters in the practical class to deal with those students who went out on night dates... Of course it's true. My roommate and his Ravenclaw girlfriend were caught that way."

"Professor Holmes unleashed a monster on Hogwarts to target disobedient students..."

"I heard it's for students with weak physiques. I heard the professor likes to punish them by making them run..."

"Yours is fake... mine is real..."

"You're all wrong. The professor released the monster to punish those who talked about him and spread rumors behind his back..."

By the time the news reached the Slytherin table, it had become known that Professor Holmes, dissatisfied with Professor Snape's interference in the teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts, had released the monster specifically to target Slytherin students.

As everyone knows, Professor Snape has always wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When this news reached Ron's ears, he combined it with the voice Harry suspected of hearing that night, and a new rumor was born.

And after being spread through the patina, it became:

"That monster specifically attacks purebloods... and might even kill people..."

In fact, almost all students knew that the monster in the practical class was not very powerful and could only release a full-body binding spell at most.

Because Professor Holmes never lets students above the fourth grade deal with the monster, for fear that older students might accidentally kill the monster.

But for fun, since they were not the first ones anyway, many senior students joined in the rumor-mongering with a sense of ill-will.

It wasn't until that evening that Douglas learned a different version of the rumor from the Weasley twins.

But Douglas's expression at that time,

The Weasley twins had an indescribable feeling, but they felt that the professor took this matter very seriously.

And this is a very serious incident.

They felt that Douglas shouldn't be so nervous about a little monster that a fourth grader could destroy.

In short, they couldn't guess it.

Chapter 82 Not Found

After questioning, Douglas determined that the Weasley twins were late because they returned home.

What I heard was no longer the original version.

But what is certain is that the original version came from Ron and Harry.

Combined with important information in other versions of the rumor.

Douglas could infer that the diary was definitely at school.

And what is certain is that my arrangement has successfully stimulated the other party.

What is certain now is that the person Voldemort chooses is definitely not a low-grade student.

If he remembered correctly, the diary's Horcrux was revived by the life force it extracted.

After these days of testing, although the children's physical fitness varied, there was nothing unusual.

Douglas took out the Marauder's Map, activated it, and placed it on the table.

Only then did he notice that there were still quite a few students scattered across several classrooms in the castle.

Douglas rubbed his head and actually forgot that today was the first day of the magic practice study room.

It seems to work pretty well.

Then he called up the system panel and took a look.

Perhaps because he was not a tutor, those self-study classes were not counted in his course calculations.

But this is definitely not the focus right now.

He stared intently at the bathroom map that showed the entrance to the secret room.

Observe whether any students will go in or come out.

Maybe because the Weasley twins were there, he didn't want them to think he was a pervert and was spying on students all day.
