Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"Professor Holmes won, didn't he?"

Harry frowned and said:

"No! The two ropes broke at the same time, as if they had planned it.

Haven’t they always had a bad relationship?”

Ginny said:

"That's why you use those humiliating spells, isn't it?"

Only the three deans seemed to have figured it out but also seemed not to have figured it out.

Then he looked at Dumbledore, who had been eating candy in the staff box.

Dumbledore felt the gazes of several people.

Then he held up the candy and asked everyone if they wanted any.

Everyone was speechless!

Douglas and Snape never had any deep hatred.

Even when it was unknown, Snape was still very optimistic about Douglas.

He could see another side of his student days in Douglas.

Researching new spells, and having a talent for potions...

He once thought that if he could study new spells like Douglas did when he was in school,

But never indulge in black magic,

He could even sense that Douglas always seemed to look down on black magic.

Maybe then, Lily wouldn't be disappointed in herself...

Of course, there were still some things about Douglas that he found annoying.

For example, the other party often hangs out with Gryffindor brats, doesn't respect Potions very much, is not a Slytherin, etc.

Snape even thought that if he didn't have so many secrets,

He would definitely choose to train Douglas well, change his understanding of potions, and regard him as his disciple to whom he could inherit his mantle.

It is indeed rare to see a student who is so flexible in his approach to magic, who is never bound by the experience of his predecessors, and who even has a different perspective on things from his peers.

Douglas had the same feelings towards Snape. It can be said that during the whole period of studying at Hogwarts,

Professor Sprout treated me like an elder in the family, taking care of me in every way.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick admired him very much and were never stingy with their praise.

Only Professor Snape always speaks venomously, expressing his disapproval of himself.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a professor to go so far as to chase someone thousands of miles away for trivial matters.

Of course, Douglas never thought of himself as a cheapskate.

Even though Snape meant well to him in his heart, the vicious words he said were really unbearable for him.

He will not accept it just because of the vague kindness.

This is also why he never thought of creating a formal hot pot at Hogwarts and chose to use a crucible.

Gradually, both of them felt awkward and uncomfortable.

The three deans and the principal, who had been observing from the sidelines, could of course see the awkwardness in their hearts.

However, they really didn't have any good solutions for the two people's personalities.

At the moment Snape challenged the duel,

Dumbledore keenly sensed something unusual.

So he immediately agreed to the duel request from the two.

At first Douglas didn't realize Snape's intention.

I thought the other party just wanted to find an excuse to teach me a lesson.

But as the other party cast a spell.

He seemed to sense that the other party had another intention.

Even because he knew Snape's ending, he could associate it with more.

Then,

One is an old wizard who has lived for more than a hundred years.

One is a double agent for two powerful wizards,

There is also a time traveler who has traveled across two worlds and has mastered both Eastern and Western magic.

With the tacit cooperation of these three people, each of them had eight hundred minds.

Achieved this one,

From an outsider's perspective, the two professors were humiliating each other, and their hatred was deepening.

But the match was a tacit agreement among the players.

So far, no win, no loss.

Chapter 93 Harry is a good man

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts monthly exam week.

Everything returned to normal.

Of course, for the fifth years and Quidditch players, things were getting increasingly tense.

On the weekend, Wood had to take Harry to Professor McGonagall to negotiate a temporary suspension of the orchard work confinement (you may have forgotten that in addition to dictation, Harry and Ron also had a task to take care of the orchard).

This will allow him to have more time to train on the Quidditch field.

Ron and Harry complained about this several times.

And threatened Harry that if Gryffindor Quidditch didn't win the championship,

He went to complain to Professor McGonagall and asked Harry to make up for the missed work later.

Of course, there were joys and sorrows in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

The lower grade students who had passed the exams were learning new spells in class.

Then go deal with the various dark magic creatures brought by Professor Holmes.

Those who failed the exam could only stand in the corner, reciting the lessons while secretly watching everyone's practice.

Of course, the worst was sixth grade.

Douglas arranged for them to go for a morning run.

But it really works for them.

One morning, when the rising sun shone on a Slytherin.

He faced the sunlight and used Professor Holmes' special version of the Glowing Charm.

This greatly encouraged them.

Then, a saying began to spread in Hogwarts:

"Holmes' morning run can help you learn spells quickly!"

This led to Douglas' morning jogging team expanding again.

And divided into three camps,

One is the couples camp, this group of people just want to be together openly and affectionately.

One is the spell study group led by the sixth grade. They believed Douglas's nonsense and believed that they could understand magic by breathing fresh air and appreciating nature.

The last group is the miserable confinement group.

And there were five first-year Gryffindor students among them, who were simply tricked by the Weasley twins.

In order to win over the younger students, the Weasley twins often told them stories about their night outings and battles with Filch.

In addition, there was a rumor circulating on campus that Douglas released the monster to test the entire student body.

Several first-year students secretly formed a team and decided to use the night tour to catch the monster, complete Professor Holmes's test, and prove themselves to be qualified Gryffindors.

As a result, ideals are full and reality is skinny.

As soon as the five of them left the Gryffindor common room, they were caught by Filch.

When Ron and Harry found out, they expressed their admiration.

Whenever they went out at night in first grade, they had to use the invisibility cloak as a cover.

Wow, five people just went out so recklessly.

time flies.

A few days before Halloween.

Saturday.

dusk.

It was windy and rainy.

Harry hurried back from the training ground, soaking wet and covered in mud.

Rushing to Professor Holmes' office to continue his detention.

Gryffindor Quidditch captain Oliver Wood's unwavering enthusiasm for training, rain or shine, made him a little irritated.

Of course, on the one hand, he couldn't delay his confinement for an hour like the Weasley twins, so his training time was very tight.

On the other hand, Fred and George came back from scouting the Slytherin and Hufflepuff teams. They saw with their own eyes the speed of the new flying brooms, the Nimbus 2001, which made the players on the field only blurry shadows.

Harry was walking through the corridors with a lot on his mind, and he almost bumped into Sir Nicholas (Nearly Headless Nick), who was also worried.

The other person was looking out the window sadly, muttering:

"...doesn't meet their requirements...just half an inch away, if..."

Harry casually greeted, "Hello, Nick!"

Nick, who was almost headless, was startled and looked around. He nervously folded up a transparent letter and hid it in his shirt.

"Oh, hello, young Potter! You look as if something is on your mind!"

Harry was just going to say hello and leave, but when he saw the other party's actions, he stopped.

I looked at the other person seriously, and through his body, I could only see the dark sky and heavy rain outside.

"Don't you have something on your mind?"

"Ah," said Nearly Headless Nick, waving a long hand gracefully.

"It's a small matter... It's not that I really want to participate... I thought I could apply, but it seems that I'm not eligible..."

If Harry hadn't seen the deep pain clearly on his face, he might have been deceived by the nonchalant tone.

Nick suddenly exploded and took out the letter again:

"Tell me, after being struck on the neck by a blunt axe forty-four times, do you qualify to join the Headless Hunters?"

Harry saw that as the ghost roared, the flames on the torches not far away began to flicker.

Suddenly I understood what Professor Holmes said. Many times, the weather affects mood, and mood affects magic.

Seeing Harry's perfunctory nod, the nearly headless Nick shook out the letter, pointed at Harry, and said angrily:

"I mean, I want things to be done cleanly more than anyone else.

I wish my head would be completely and utterly broken off,

That would have saved me a lot of pain and made fun of.

But……"
