Hogwarts: I have graduated before the system came

Inside the Hogwarts Greenhouse.

Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows, and said to Professor Sprout who was squatting in the field to organize the magic plants:

"Pomona, Mr. Holmes has gone to the kitchen!"

At this time, Sprout was wearing a thick hat with patches and some mud on his body.

Squatting next to a Goldigan plant, I couldn't afford to look at my old best friend for many years.

"Minerva, you're cheating, I haven't seen Douglas yet!"

Professor McGonagall shrugged and said indifferently:

"I didn't stop Hufflepuff, an excellent student, from looking for you!

Anyway, you lost, and I need to share half of your fruit supply this semester..."

Professor Sprout snorted dissatisfiedly, but nodded anyway.

Hufflepuffs are never short of fruit.

Originally, she thought that Douglas would visit her first when he came to school, but who knew that it had been a long time, but he hadn't come to see her.

Alas, it seems like many graduated wizards.

After graduation, I forgot about my teacher.

"Yawn~"

Douglas, far away in the Hogwarts kitchen, had just sprinkled paprika on the pot.

Just a sneeze.

"It seems that this chili is not bad, enough flavor!"

It will soon be one o'clock in the afternoon.

After Douglas finished the meal, he went back to his dormitory first, and then came to the staff lounge.

The Hogwarts professors were already seated at the round table in the middle when he entered.

The table is already filled with various dishes.

Sitting next to Dumbledore were Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.

Leaning against Professor McGonagall was Professor Sprout, and Professor Flitwick was sitting next to Professor Snape.

There was an empty seat next to Professor Sprout, and next to him was Aurora Sinesta, Professor of Astronomy, and Bathhida Babling, Professor of Ancient Runes, etc...

After seeing Douglas, Professor Sprout first smiled softly, then got up.

Douglas hurried over and gave Professor Sprout a big hug.

Then he didn't sit down immediately.

He took out a copy of "Experiments in Plant Hybridization" by Muggle scholar Mendel from his bag and gave it to Sprout.

Herbalism in the magic world has not changed much for hundreds of years, and the varieties that are planted and cultivated are still hundreds of years ago.

But Douglas felt the lovely herbalist could go a step further.

After Sprout took the book, he found that he knew every word in it, but they couldn't figure out what it meant when they put it together.

But she did not reject this Muggle scholar's work, but was very grateful to Douglas for giving her this very suitable gift.

Douglas did not immediately resolve Professor Sprout's doubts.

Instead, he immediately took out other prepared gifts from the bag and gave them to the professors present.

Yes, only the official Hogwarts professors came to this party, except of course Professor Binns of the History of Magic.

For example, other employees of Hogwarts Castle, Hagrid, Filch, Mrs. Hodge, Mrs. Pince, etc. did not come to participate.

Douglas basically gave gifts to every professor, except that the professor of Muggle studies was new after he graduated.

The others are his former teachers.

As a new colleague, Douglas was also very popular. Even Professor Snape, who disliked him the most, under Dumbledore's persuasion, arrogantly accepted the books on laboratory management he sent.

Especially those spotless, very bright laboratory photos inside.

Snape, who has always had strict requirements in potion science, fully agrees.

……

Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening.

All the professors headed to the school hall, where they were getting ready for the start of the new school year.

The whole hall is magnificent, although there are no students on the four long tables.

But the table was already covered with gold plates and goblets gleaming in the light of thousands of candles.

All the teachers are arranged at the table above the dining room.

Dumbledore sat in the middle expressionlessly, seemingly thinking about something.

Douglas sat next to Professor Sprout and asked Professor Sprout for some tips in class.

Inadvertently, Hufflepuff's ghost fat friar also popped up from the table and greeted Douglas.

Soon a group of students rushed in and sat down at the long table of their college.

The quiet hall instantly became lively.

Douglas glanced around and found that there were many familiar faces.

After all, he has been away from Hogwarts for three years, and there are still many juniors who have met him.

Obviously, some of the fifth, sixth and seventh graders also recognized him.

They were discussing among themselves, and they were very surprised that they were able to serve as Hogwarts professors after only three years of graduation.

You know, in Douglas' class, because there was Bill, a top student, overpowering him.

So Douglas was not the best student.

Douglas didn't care about the discussion below, and continued to look around.

When he saw the Gryffindor long table, Douglas was taken aback, and he took a closer look.

It is true that Harry Potter and Ron are not found in the lower school crowd.

Damn it, Douglas suddenly remembered vaguely, in the original book, Harry and Ron seemed to be unable to take the Hogwarts Express normally because of Dobby the house elf.

In the end, I chose to fly over from the sky by car.

During the dinner, Douglas remembered that Harry mentioned Dobby at the time, but he thought that the Weasley family should avoid the conflict with Lucius, and the Weasley family would be with them at that time. something will happen.

Of course, it was also because he really didn't remember some plots in the original work for a while.

He has been traveling for more than 20 years, and he has not enjoyed too many benefits of the foresight of the traveler.

After all, the plot in the original book did not help him much in his life at Hogwarts.

So, slowly, many things are not remembered well.

Soon Douglas noticed Percy who was looking up and down the Ravenclaw table from time to time.

I don't know what Hermione said to him.

He looked anxiously towards the teacher's seat.

The Weasley twins were giggling from the sidelines.

Percy looked around the teacher's table and found that Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape were not there.

Only then did he remember that Professor McGonagall had gone to pick up the freshmen.

Disappointment immediately appeared on his face.

When he and Douglas' eyes met, their eyes lit up.

He ran straight towards the teacher's table, and Hermione, who was talking to Percy, followed closely behind him.

As soon as he arrived, before Douglas asked, Percy said anxiously:

"Old...Professor, Ron and Harry are missing..."

Before Douglas could answer, Dumbledore coughed softly not far away, and said:

"Don't be nervous kids, I think Harry and Mr Weasley will be all right, Severus has already gone to find them.

Go and sit down first, I think dinner will start soon. "

After finishing speaking, he handed over a copy of "Daily Prophet" at hand.

Professor Sprout in the middle took the newspaper and glanced at it.

Read it directly.

"Muggles were amazed that the Ford Anglia could fly.

Two Muggles in London convinced they saw an old limousine flying over the Post Office building... at noon in Norfolk, while Mrs Hettibelis was drying her clothes... Mr Angus Fleet of Peebles to the police Report... a total of six or seven Muggles..."

When she finished, she looked at Percy in surprise, then at Douglas.

Percy's face was pale. He knew that his father built this car without telling the Ministry...

Douglas snapped his fingers, bringing Percy back to his senses.

Blinking at him, he said lightly:

"Don't be nervous, you have to trust Principal Dumbledore, they will be fine.

As for the things you are worried about, the adults will take care of them. Listen to the principal, sit back first, and eat more to calm down later. "

Hermione glanced at Dumbledore nervously, then asked Douglas:

"Professor Holmes, will Harry and Ron be expelled?"
