After several people left, Douglas summarized all the grades, then graded them, and finally handed them over to Professor McGonagall by grade.
When Professor McGonagall mails the purchase list for the next semester to the students, the final transcript will be sent along with it.
In previous years, only owl and newt grades were mailed to students, but since the grades were mailed once at the end of the first semester, the overall response was still very good.
Many parents also sent letters to Hogwarts, saying that this method is very good. Of course, some parents sent letters to question the professor after seeing their children's grades.
Don't doubt the level of acceptance of this kind of thing by parents in the magic world. Their behavior of tearing umbrellas has been maintained for hundreds of thousands of years. For example, almost all young wizards don't know how to be sorted before entering school. What a tacit understanding.
The next morning, Douglas traveled to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, a professor of magical biology, was protected.
Because Professor Kettleburn was planning to retire, Douglas had prepared a gift.
When he came to the Forbidden Forest Cabin, he was surprised to find that Headmaster Dumbledore was also here.
After Dumbledore saw the box Douglas was holding, he smiled and said to Professor Kettleburn who was trying to walk:
"Sylva, it seems that our Douglas has also prepared a gift for you."
When Douglas saw a set of magical wooden prosthetic limbs on Professor Kettleburn's body, his face was a little embarrassed. What should he do if the gift is the same as the leader.
He bit the bullet and said:
"Professor, I have prepared a gift for you, but... But this gift may be a bit repetitive with Professor Dumbledore."
Professor Kettleburn, who has always been carefree, said indifferently:
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I told Albus just now that I want to spend some time in the Fire Dragon District after I retire. These wooden prosthetics may need to be replaced frequently..."
Dumbledore also smiled and said:
"Douglas has his own unique methods and insights in alchemy..."
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Douglas smiled, and then opened the box, which contained a silver mechanical arm and mechanical leg, which looked much more refined than the wooden prosthesis Dumbledore gave.
This thing is a mechanical prosthesis in the technology world that he bought directly from the system mall by spending points, and then modified it with magic.
Originally, there were magical prosthetics in the system that fit this world, but after purchasing it, Douglas found that it involved black magic and even soul magic. He suspected that the magical prosthetics were the ones that Voldemort would give Pettigrew Peter in the future.
He took out the arm and thigh, which happened to be the missing arm and leg of Professor Kettleburn.
Seeing this thing, Dumbledore's eyes lit up. After taking one of the arms and looking it over carefully, he looked at Douglas and said:
"Douglas, the things this time don't look like goblin crafts, but rather like the style of the Muggle world..."
Douglas nodded, and while helping Professor Kettleburn put on the prosthesis, he explained:
"The inspiration comes from some technological fantasies in the Muggle world, but the core content is replaced with magical materials... How does the professor feel?"
Kettleburn found that when the prosthesis was connected to the body, he had a feeling that this was his arm, and the same was true for the leg...
While Professor Kettleburn was trying out the mechanical prosthesis, Dumbledore suddenly asked Douglas beside him:
"Douglas, the vacation is coming to an end soon, do you have any plans for the future?"
Douglas looked at Dumbledore and blinked:
"Professor, if you don't tell me, I'd almost forget. Am I still a regular?"
Dumbledore choked when he heard the words, and smiled awkwardly:
"Hehe, Douglas, you are already a formal professor in my heart, and your treatment is no different from that of a formal professor, isn't it?
And your contribution to Hogwarts is obvious to all, finding Tom's black magic item, discovering Slytherin's secret room, and formulating a plan to capture the basilisk...
As much as I hate to admit it, you've probably heard of the Defense Against the Dark Arts job, there's a little bit of a problem..."
Douglas nodded. He understood Dumbledore's meaning, but it was hard to say that he had cracked the curse. After all, Dumbledore was only guessing about the curse and hadn't really discovered it.
"Professor, I know what you mean, but I still want to stay in this position, I think it suits me well..."
Dumbledore nodded, and did not persuade him any more. After being the headmaster for so many years, it was not the first time he encountered such a situation.
As a result, those persistent professors will eventually be unable to continue to serve due to some unexpected reasons during the summer vacation.
For example, Dumbledore, who used to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in Douglas's third grade, did not receive the resignation letter from the other party before the start of his fourth grade. Dumbledore thought that there was finally an exception.
As a result, the other party did not report to the school for three days after the start of school, so Dumbledore had to temporarily find an old friend to help.
Then mobilized some friends in the magic world to look for the other party's whereabouts. At the end of the second semester, the other party just walked out of an ancient magic relic, and the other party was trapped for almost a year.
So no matter what Douglas said, Dumbledore made up his mind to look for new professor candidates in advance during the summer vacation.
Professor Kettleburn's ability to adapt is very fast. After a while, he can not only use the entire mechanical prosthesis flexibly, but even discover some spells added by Douglas on the mechanical arm.
While Douglas was chatting with Dumbledore, Kettleburn crawled from his hut with a young snuffer on the mechanical arm, as if trying to pull the silver arm off.
"Douglas, it's a coincidence that you came here. I just gave birth to a litter a while ago. This little guy is a bit out of the pack, so I took it out and raised it alone. I remember when you were in school, didn't you want to raise a sniff... ...oh cutie, come down..."
Hearing what Professor Kettleburn said, Douglas touched his nose unconsciously.
He really heard from a student some time ago that the old professor's Nixiu gave birth to a litter of Xiaoxiu, and then he remembered that the other party retired at the end of this semester.
And today with this pair of mechanical prosthetics, there is really no intention of changing to a snuffing one.
Especially Dumbledore's smiling expression on the side made Douglas feel that his reputation was ruined...
However, he still happily lured the little Niffler with a Golden Gallon.
Niuxiu turned his head, and when he saw the Galleon, his small black eyes widened. Then, with lightning speed, he quickly jumped onto Douglas' shoulder, and successfully caught the gold Galleon in mid-air. Gold Galleon.
Impatiently grabbing the gold coin and stuffing it into his pocket, he was about to jump back onto Professor Kettleburn's mechanical arm, wanting to continue messing with that big guy.
As a result, the second time he jumped up, he was directly caught by Douglas in mid-air, and the short-limbed Nixiu was struggling in mid-air.
Douglas smiled and took out another Galleon, and threw it back and forth in front of Xixiu. Xixi stretched out his short arms to the thrown Galleon, making everyone laugh.
Kettleburn said with a smile:
"Douglas, you have to think about it, Xixiu is not easy to keep, especially at home, he may hide all your gold coins."
Douglas said happily:
"It's ok!"
As he said that, he gave the Galleon to Xixiu directly. When Xixiu put the Galleon in his pocket, Douglas took out another one and gave it to Xixiu generously this time.
After Niu Niu grabbed the gold coin, Douglas placed it in the palm of his hand.
The released Xixiu didn't run again this time, but stared at Douglas with staring eyes, but with those dishonest little eyes, he glanced at Douglas' pocket from time to time.
Kettleburn said:
"It seems that you really know Xixiu very well. I haven't named this little cutie yet..."
Douglas took out a piece of chocolate this time and handed it to Xixiu. Xixiu hesitated for a moment, then grabbed it and ate it.
He said to the little guy:
"Little guy, from today on you will be called Wangcai, follow me to keep you popular and spicy..."
Because the word Wangcai was said directly in Chinese, Dumbledore and Kettleburn on the side didn't understand what it meant, so Douglas explained it to them again.
After listening to the explanation, Wangcai seemed to like the name very much. He jumped directly from Douglas's hand into his arms, and slowly slid down his clothes towards his pocket...
Kettleburn looked at Dumbledore at this time:
"Albus, do you want one?"
Dumbledore froze for a moment, then shook his head, both Douglas and Kettleburn saw an inexplicable look in his eyes.
When he finally left, Wangcai poked his head out of Douglas's pocket and waved to Kettleburn with tears in his eyes. It was the gold coin in his mouth that spoiled the scenery.
When Professor McGonagall mails the purchase list for the next semester to the students, the final transcript will be sent along with it.
