Hogwarts: I have graduated before the system came

Six pm.

Douglas received a message from Dumbledore's Patronus.

Invite him to have dinner in the principal's office at seven o'clock in the evening, and ask him not to tell others, special password: dragon's blood copper cauldron.

So Douglas randomly found an excuse to send the group of four who came to confinement to Professor McGonagall's office.

He didn't want to leave a few people outside the office this time, and it would be a mess when he came back.

He showed up at the door of the principal's office at seven o'clock on time.

And hugged a box of various candies from the previous owner of the Honeydukes candy store.

"Dragon Blood Copper Crucible!"

The stone monster at the door of the principal's office carefully looked around, and then parted to make way for the spiral staircase behind it.

After Douglas went in, he saw that the office's special hot pot table had been set up.

It is full of various dishes, especially some magical animal meat that is not easy to get on the market.

In the words of Dumbledore, these are all materials that his friends can't use up for research.

And the bottom of the special copper crucible burns with Gubulai fairy fire. (Gublai fairy fire is an enchanted flame that burns forever.)

This is why Douglas likes to have hot pot with Dumbledore. You can always eat things that you can't eat outside.

When Dumbledore saw Douglas coming in, he blinked and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I set a special password at the door, and Severus will never think of this password."

Douglas couldn't help but feel relieved, it wasn't that he was afraid of Professor Snape... Well, he was indeed a little scared about this matter.

He handed the present to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore said in surprise:

"That's great! There are several new varieties!"

Before Douglas could speak, Fox, who was a little older than the last time he saw him, flew onto Douglas' shoulder and pecked at his head.

Douglas shrugged:

"Oh, come on Fox, the principal you know won't allow you to eat those things!"

Dumbledore put a small pepper urchin into his mouth, and let the flames burst out of his ears and nostrils like an old urchin. (Pepper urchins are a candy sold at Honeydukes candies that cause fire to shoot out of the wearer's ears and nose. The ad reads: Breathe fire out of your nose for your friends.)

Then he said with emotion:

"Great! Isn't it? It fits today's hot pot theme!"

Douglas asked suspiciously:

"Principal, is Fox about to die?

Dumbledore beckoned Fox to fly back to its gilded perch, then called Douglas to sit down and said:

"I think so, probably for a while.

Recently, I have allowed it to enjoy its perverted spiciness, and it is always necessary to allow some little capriciousness of the elderly. "

After speaking, Dumbledore blinked at Douglas, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Douglas suspected otherwise, but had no evidence.

But he couldn't wait any longer, and took the lead in putting some dishes into the crucible...into the hot pot.

And took out the pair of unicorn horn chopsticks that Hagrid had given him.

The bowls are all prepared according to his taste.

Dumbledore sat there smiling at him.

"Aha, you make me feel how lucky it is to have a friend who can cook hot pot.

You know, I'm usually alone. "

Douglas looked at the contents of the pot, counting the time in his mind.

He said casually: "There are so many professors in the school, and no one is willing to have a hot pot with you?"

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully:

"Minerva felt that I was too old to eat such stimulants on a regular basis.

Other professors either don't like it, or are just too busy..."

Douglas nodded subconsciously, counting down 'three, two, one. '

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, he was about to pick up the piece of Romanian Longhorn meat.

But all the pieces of meat in the pot flew up and flew straight towards Dumbledore's bowl.

"Haha, you still know the characteristics of the ingredients best. Every time I cook it early or cook it for too long!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the man-eating eyes of Guan Glass, and started to feast on himself.

If Douglas hadn't looked at the other party's age...

In this way, as long as Douglas decides to do something about the things that Douglas ordered in the early stage, Dumbledore will quickly use magic to grab those foods.

In the end, it may be comfortable to eat, so I slow down.

At this time, Douglas finally ate the dragon meat he had been thinking about, and complained while eating:

"I finally understand why no one wants to share hot pot with you!"

Dumbledore said with emotion:

"When it comes to food, there's really no one like Hufflepuff. …

It's been two weeks, how are you feeling?

I heard Minerva say that you are very attentive, although the educational philosophy is different from most of us,

But it does give Hogwarts an unusual vibrancy! "

Dumbledore's turn almost missed Douglas' waist.

He finally knew that the theme of tonight wasn't hot pot at all.

......

Just when the old and the young were enjoying delicious food in the principal's office.

A roar came from a female bathroom in Hogwarts.

At the same time, he noticed that next to a copper dragon head engraved with a small snake, there was also a line of small words [Welcome home, Mr. Voldemort].

Suddenly he was startled and frightened.

Seeing that the handwriting didn't look like it was engraved recently, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that he would come over quietly after he recovered slowly.

But recently, from the child he possessed, I learned some interesting things about the school recently.

He found that it seemed that the new professor knew what kind of monster existed in Hogwarts, and tried to teach the students how to face that monster.

Although he dismissed those things, he was still very worried about whether he had been exposed.

So he could only expose his nature in advance and control the child.

When he saw this line of writing, he fully understood that not only was he exposed.

And the other party also knew the entrance to the secret room and what was in the secret room.

He drew his wand, carefully testing around the faucet.

After finding out that no trap was designed, he whispered:

"Douglas Holmes!

I'm really curious who are you?

Are you also the blood of Slytherin left in the Muggle world?

Otherwise, how would it be possible to know the location of the secret room.

Or are you a prophet..."

McGonagall's office.

Since Harry and Ron silently wrote only one Defense Against the Dark Arts content.

So they were liberated from Professor McGonagall's office first.

When leaving, Professor McGonagall also carefully checked the two of them's previous dictation.

Seems to be very interested in this dictation method.

This had to make the two very happy to worry about other students.

After all, they originally had Transfiguration as part of their confinement this semester.

Walking on the road, the two discussed Quidditch.

Suddenly Harry heard a creepy, breathless, cold, malevolent voice.

"Come... come here... let me tear you... tear you... kill you..."

Harry suddenly yelled, "What?"

Ron was stunned: "I mean the goalkeeper of the Chudley Cannons...what's the matter Harry?"

He suddenly noticed something wrong with Harry's expression.

Harry looked around and said with a strange expression:

"That—that voice said—didn't you hear that?

Who is it going to kill? "

Ron looked at Harry in astonishment, and followed his gaze.

In the quiet castle, some sounds seemed particularly abnormal.

"There is a rustling sound, like a wall...

Harry, run, don't look..."

Speaking of Ron dragging Harry desperately, he ran towards Gryffindor Tower without looking back...

When he reached the fourth floor, Harry finally couldn't run anymore.

He asked out of breath:

"You heard that voice too?

So what is it talking about?ghost? "

Ron said in surprise:

"What's the voice, I didn't hear it!

But I heard a rustling sound..."

Harry Potter was a little angry, he felt that Ron was playing him.

"Damn it, Xixi Suso, it's obvious that someone is talking, so please tell me, I'm not joking!"

Ron flicked Harry's arm, feeling a little bewildered.

"It's just the sound of Xixisuo, I didn't hear anything else!

No!

Although I couldn't tell if it was the wind or something else.

However, I suspect that Professor Holmes may have released the monster in the practical class.

That sounds alike.

In case it is really that thing, you look around.

We're both under the Body Binding Charm, until the professors find out.

We might have froze to death.

What's more, maybe points will be deducted by the professor? "

Harry also looked very confused at this time, trying to recall whether the monster in the practice class could really talk.

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

He was suddenly confused, not knowing whether what he experienced just now was true or not.

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

Ron shrugged:

"Who knows, maybe you think we are not good enough, so you decided to put the monster in the castle and let us be vigilant at all times?"
