The Gryffindors applauded Ravenclaw absently, then looked expectantly at Dumbledore.
But until Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner, the blue and bronze flags hanging over the auditorium remained unchanged.
Gryffindor was extremely disappointed, and some students even looked at Harry with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Slytherin glanced at the Gryffindor table first, and burst out laughing.
But in Professor Snape's cold eyes, he suddenly remembered that there was another second child in his courtyard this year. …
Harry was also very sad. He felt that what Hermione said was very reasonable just now. He had already thought about what Luna gave Professor Holmes back then. Since the other party can get a special contribution award, why didn't he have one.
Hermione and Ron whispered consolation, and even George and Fred ran over to stand for Harry.
Although the two of them didn't know why Harry was so confident just now...
Douglas sat on the teaching bench and watched what happened below.
In fact, in Dumbledore's original plan, he wanted to award Harry a special contribution award. After all, he provided the only Parseltongue, which was enough to get it.
But he was persuaded by Douglas, and told Dumbledore about Harry and Ron's plan to break into the Chamber of Secrets at night, and at the same time gave Dumbledore a bunch of reasons.
Douglas was not targeting Harry, he just felt that the other party was a little too confident now. If Dumbledore continued to award him a special contribution award under such circumstances, it would be a disguised form to encourage the other party to take untimely risks.
Originally, Douglas didn't expect to persuade Dumbledore, because in his impression, it was Dumbledore who was training Harry, although Harry didn't get any chance due to his own existence this semester.
But unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually agreed after he finished his proposal, and said, Douglas, you are right, young wizards at this stage should focus on learning magic...
This matter made Douglas feel furious. He always felt that everything was wrong. Did Dumbledore plan to abandon the original plan and do it himself because he knew about Voldemort's Horcrux in advance?
After the dinner, Douglas called George and Fred to the office and returned the Marauder's Map to them, along with three letters and packages for Mrs. Weasley, Bill and Charlie.
"As far as I know, your overall results this time are not bad, so don't be too happy.
Since you need to take the Owls exam next year, you will need to study what you want to study under my supervision starting next semester, but you will have to take an Owls mock exam every month, and it will be all subjects.
As long as you don't get above good grades once, I can only suspend your plan, otherwise I can't convince your mother, if you fail the owls exam, I can't face your mother..."
After hesitating for a long time, George and Fred finally agreed to Douglas' request and made a request.
"Professor, that "Encyclopedia of Magic Items"..."
"Of course, we trust the professor, don't we George, just worry about next term..."
Douglas sneered, knowing what the two men meant.
"Don't worry, I will show it to you next semester..."
The two wanted to say something, but were ruthlessly kicked out by Douglas.
Early the next morning, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was officially closed.
The students boarded the Hogwarts Express one after another.
It wasn't until they got on the bus that the students realized that the school hadn't announced the test results at the end of this semester.
But before they were happy, a guess quickly spread to every box.
"The school will definitely send the grades home..."
Many students were crying.
"Fortunately, Professor Holmes only teaches for one semester, and I hope there will be no exams in the next semester..."
"Well, but I still hope that the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor can keep Professor Holmes' practical classroom..."
Not long after the students left, at nine o'clock in the morning.
At the gate of Hogwarts, a pair of people walked over in a mighty manner.
Douglas stood in the Hogwarts welcome line, looking at the people coming.
The leader is short and stocky, a dark green top hat can't suppress the messy gray hair, he is wearing a pinstriped suit with a bright red tie, a long black cloak on his body, and a pair of purple skirts on his feet. Pointed boots.
He is the No.30 Second Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and on the left is Scrimgeour, Director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic.
Although he had a slight limp, he walked with a swift stride and wore a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles that couldn't hide his piercing yellow eyes.
Standing on the minister's right is the blond-haired Lucius Malfoy, accompanied by Dobby, the house-elf of the Malfoy family.
Followed by the older ones are the members of the Dangerous Animals Disposal Committee under the Department of Magical Beasts Control and Management. Perhaps because the animals were too dangerous this time, they did not bring an executioner.
Then there were a dozen Aurors, and Douglas noticed a familiar figure among them. After all, her hair turned bubblegum pink for a while, and then purple for a while, and she was too noticeable among a bunch of Aurors.
This female Auror who can control the color of her hair at will is called Nymphadora Tonks, a Hufflepuff elementary school girl who is two years younger than Douglas, and is a disguise magus (some wizards are born to change themselves appearance, they are known as Disguise Mags.)
Hogwarts is led by Professor McGonagall, the four principals gathered together, and then there is Douglas, Professor Kettleburn with a half-body metal style, and the tall Hagrid.
Although there were few people, the momentum was not lost.
Five meters away, Fudge walked over with a big laugh, and greeted several professors cordially.
"Long time no see, Minerva."
"Filius, how are you doing these days?"
"Pomona, I heard..."
"Severus, congratulations..."
"Professor Holmes, a rising star in our magical world, you are very welcome to join the Ministry of Magic..."
Finally he asked curiously, "Why didn't you see Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Professor McGonagall said with a smile:
"Albus went to pick up an old friend, I think they're already waiting in the headmaster's office..."
Fudge looked surprised, obviously he thought everyone was there.
Then a group of people walked towards the principal's office.
On the way, Douglas took the initiative to say hello to several seniors in the Auror team.
Tonks circled Douglas twice, clicked his tongue twice, and said cheerfully:
"Doug, I didn't expect you to become a professor and write so many novels while hiding your identity. I have known you for so many years, but I don't even know about it. Tell me what else you have hidden..."
Douglas laughed not to be outdone:
"I didn't expect that clumsy girl to become an Auror."
Tonks raised his neck proudly and said:
"That's natural. Don't forget that I am Transfiguration Magus. I only qualified some time ago. Kingsley said that I am a genius. Normally, I have to train for another two years."
Speaking of this, Tonks put away his pride and said with gratitude:
"I have to thank you for leading me to do so much training at that time. I didn't know until I joined the Auror training team that many of the training at that time were Auror content, especially the two courses of stealth and tracking. I was training The team got an excellent.
I've always wanted to thank you personally, but the training team is so strict that I can't just go out.So, I would like to treat you to dinner sometime, what do you think?
By the way, have you updated your recipes in the past few years..."
Douglas noticed Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror office who was walking in front, and looked back at him. Douglas smiled at him calmly.
But until Dumbledore announced the start of the dinner, the blue and bronze flags hanging over the auditorium remained unchanged.
