Hogwarts: I have graduated before the system came

Hear Hermione's question.

Douglas shook his head, pointed to Professor McGonagall who was leading the first-year students into the auditorium and said:

"I'm sorry, Miss Granger, I think only Professor McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor, can answer you this question."

Percy patted Hermione on the shoulder when he saw the first-year students entering the arena, then turned around and walked back towards the Gryffindor table.

The sorting ceremony was about to begin, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't bother the professors at this time.

What's more, Professor Snape has gone to find Ron and Harry.

Although Professor Snape has always been unfriendly to Gryffindor students, it does not hinder his responsibility as a Hogwarts professor.

Of course, he believed more in Dumbledore and Douglas.

Not a single student had had an accident since Dumbledore became Headmaster.

Hermione bit her lip and followed Percy back into her seat.

Dumbledore looked at Douglas with interest, and said with a smile:

"Douglas, it seems that you are still so popular..."

Professor Sprout on the side also smiled like an aunt.

Douglas rolled his eyes at the two old men:

"That's because I met the Weasley and Granger families in Diagon Alley yesterday, and we had a dinner together.

That's why Miss Granger subconsciously asked me! "

At school, Douglas was pursued by many little witches.

He even secretly gave him a small cake mixed with love potion for Christmas one year.

Had it not been for Douglas, who was staying in school at the time, to give the cake to Dumbledore as a Christmas present.

Maybe he really got caught.

Uh, as for whether Dumbledore has been tricked...

Anyway, it was Dumbledore who told him about the love potion afterward, and for this reason at the beginning of a school.

Dumbledore also specifically emphasized that students are not allowed to use potions on their classmates without the supervision of the teacher.

The sorting ceremony will soon begin.

Professor McGonagall called the first-year students to the middle of the four long tables.

At this moment, they are the protagonists.

In the light of flickering candles, hundreds of faces throughout the hall looked at them like pale lanterns.

In the panic of these little guys.

Professor McGonagall gently placed a four-legged stool in front of the first-year students as usual.

Then he put a top wizard hat on the stool.The hat was patched, worn out, and very dirty.

i don't know what i'm going to say

my name is the sorting hat

I know my body is dirty

But that is the wisdom of the years

……

I say Gryffindor, you say brave

……

I say Ravenclaw, you say learned

……

I say Slytherin and you say shrewd

……

I say Hufflepuff and you say loyalty

……

The students on the table of the deans of the four universities all shouted excitedly.

Douglas looked surprised. He thought that the style of the Sorting House would change back after graduation.

When he was in the principal's office for the first time, he once taught the unorthodox rap in the school.

Unexpectedly, since then, the Sorting Hat Academy has fallen in love with this method.

Although the serious Professor McGonagall disapproved of the Sorting Hat's behavior at the beginning, she was not the headmaster, so she could only let Dumbledore use the Sorting Hat.

Until that school year, one time because Douglas was 1 minute late for Transfiguration class, he was fined two weeks of lock-up.

In the following opening ceremony, Professor McGonagall never stopped this behavior again.

Seeing the dazed first grader standing in the middle of the hall, the second grader smiled knowingly.

After all, they also had this expression back then.

After singing, the audience burst into applause, and the twins on the Gryffindor table even took the lead in whistling.

The Courtyard bowed to the four dining tables one by one, and then stood still.

Then Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward, a roll of parchment in hand.

To the first-year crowd, he said:

"Whoever name I call now puts on a hat, sits on a stool, and waits for sorting."

……

Just as the sorting ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Douglas suddenly saw two small heads appearing from the windows of the hall, and by the faint candlelight, he identified the disappeared Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a man with long hair and shawls appearing behind them with a strange smile.

Douglas smiled, raising his glass toward the window.

This action also aroused the curiosity of other teachers.

"Severus?"

……

ten minutes ago.

Harry and Ron had just survived a plane crash under the Whomping Willow.

Dragging the broken box, he struggled to climb towards Hogwarts Castle on the grassy slope.

This is not at all the same as the arrival of victory they thought, and now they only feel stiff limbs, and their bodies are cold and painful.

When approaching the entrance of the hall, Ron threw the broken box in his hand under the steps.

He ran to a bright window and said to Harry Potter:

"The party has begun, hey - look, Harry, the sorting is in progress.

It's a pity that we missed the singing of the Sorting House, I originally thought that this year I would be like those senior students, singing along with the Singing House..."

Harry Potter also ran over with regret on his face, lying on the window with Ron and looking towards the auditorium.

While the two were discussing why they didn't see Snape at the teacher's table.

A cold voice sounded from behind them.

"Maybe, he's waiting to hear from the two of you why you didn't come to school on the school bus!"

When Harry and Ron turned tremblingly, Severus Snape was standing in front of them, his black robes flapping in the wind.

He looked at the two with a weird smile on his face.

At this moment, Professor Snape raised his head and just saw Douglas smiling at him from the teacher's table through the window.

His face pulled, and he snorted coldly.

"You guys! Come with me!"

After speaking, he flicked his robe, turned around and walked towards the underground classroom.

Harry and Ron followed Snape tremblingly, and glanced reluctantly at the warm and bright auditorium behind them.

Maybe this is the last time I saw this auditorium.

The two thought pessimistically.

……

Before the sorting ceremony ends.

Professor Snape hurried to his seat.

Whispered in Headmaster Dumbledore's ear for a while.

After the sorting ceremony.

Albus Dumbledore rose to his feet, looking as vigorous as ever, despite his age.

He looked at the students with a big smile and extended his arms to them, as if this was the happiest day of the year for him.

"Welcome! Welcome to Hogwarts to start a new school year.

Before the banquet begins, I want to share with you a more gratifying thing...

This year, I am delighted to welcome a new teacher to our team.

He is Professor Holmes, it is very rare, after so many years, he is one of the few teachers who actively applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course..."

Douglas stood up and greeted everyone.

Suddenly there was thunderous applause in the auditorium.

The applause first came from among the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor seniors.

Immediately afterwards, Ravenclaw and a part of Slytherin's senior class seemed to sound something, although their faces were reluctant.

But still applauded.

Those junior students didn't know what was going on.

I had no choice but to drum up.

Among the teachers, only Snape looked as if he had eaten a fly.

After the applause stopped, Dumbledore said with a smile:

"Okay, I think the important things have been said, let's start eating!"

The golden plates and funny cups on the four long tables were suddenly filled with food and drinks.

Douglas glanced at the students' tables and nodded with satisfaction.

Professor Sprout on the side smiled and said:

"Although you graduated, the school did not cancel the food you suggested, which is unique to Hogwarts.

Some house-elves from traditional wizarding families are also sent to learn this meal. "

Just as the two were talking.

At some point, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Snape had already left the table.
