Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
No matter how simple a student is, he doesn't want a decentralized person under his hands.
What's more, the prefects of Hogwarts have unusual invisible benefits.
Now when I heard that Douglas actually distributed his special treatment as a prefect to these class representatives with no names and no points.
Prefect Quinton couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up directly and said:
"Sorry, professor, those fruits are the trophies of our prefects, and they are very limited and cannot be allocated to any class representatives."
After finishing speaking, Quinton felt a little regretful. Last night, he heard some students in the seventh grade talk about Douglas in the fourth and fifth grades.
From their description, Douglas Holmes is a person who is not at all like Hufflepuff except in terms of food.
One of the seventh-grade seniors said that it seemed that the rare scuffle among the four houses was also caused by the new Professor Holmes.
But specifically...
After all, at that time, these seventh-grade students were still children in the first and second grades.
Not sure about some things in the upper grades.
In general, this Professor Holmes is not easy to get along with, and he must be obedient in his class.
Seeing Douglas looking at him with a strange smile, Quinton regretted that he stood up hastily.
However, when he thought that he might become the hero of all the prefects, maybe the sixth-grade senior he liked would look at him with admiration, and he suddenly felt full of strength.
Douglas smiled disdainfully:
"Trophy?
Oh, yes, that's right,
I think it makes sense to explain it this way.
After all, this group of people used themselves as prisoners of war in exchange for spoils of war..."
Douglas did not expect that those prefects were so scheming back then.
There must be some kind of secret contract in private, and the fruit welfare is their battle power item, and it will be passed on to the next prefect.
Until he left Hogwarts, that period of history was completely rewritten.
Douglas is very clear that Hufflepuff and Gryffindor should not be involved in this matter.
Whether Hufflepuff is a prefect or not, he has this kind of benefit. Of course, the most important thing is that he was also a prefect back then.
And Bill was not only the prefect back then, but also the president of the student council in the seventh grade.
Of course, the most important thing is that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff don't have so many minds.
Not only Quinton, but another female prefect, Wei Na, also looked angry.
They thought Douglas was talking nonsense.
That's not what the previous prefects told them.
Seeing the ugly faces of the two prefects, Douglas did not make it difficult for them, and simply explained:
"Didn't you notice that the orchard where you closed your work is called Sherlock Holmes Orchard?
Yes, you guessed it right, that orchard was originally planted by me.
Although the school did not allow students to discuss what happened back then, I can simply say something.
And the treatment that you prefects received was not because they defeated me in the first place.
It's because I, holding the principles of peace, friendship, unity, and mutual assistance, distributed a piece of fruit from the orchard to your prefects as the reward for those laborers.
To be exact, the fruit that your prefects should have paid for those students who were locked up and punished for working in the orchard. "
Douglas never admitted that the reason for giving them fruit was the school's punishment for his behavior as the fuse of the melee.
Several students below, upon hearing Douglas' answer, gritted their teeth and looked at the two prefects and the new class representative.
At what age are there not many students in confinement?
Although he is now a professor, he is still a young man after all.
It's okay to be angry once in a while.
Douglas further explained:
"The share of fruit that my class representatives enjoy is allocated from my personal share of fruit.
Therefore, please don't involve my class representative in some matters.
Do you have any other questions?
If nothing else..."
In the end, Douglas scanned the class with sharp eyes.
At this time, a girl with double ponytails in the back row raised her hands excitedly.
Douglas originally thought that he had stunned all the students, but he didn't expect someone to challenge him.
Alas, it seems that his cold face skills are still not as good as Snape's.
But Snape's reputation was built in one class.
Douglas had to let the girl stand up.
"Professor, my name is Vincent Dinah, I, I want to know about the melee between the four colleges seven years ago, can you tell me about it?
I asked all the professors in the college, and they were not very willing to talk about that incident at the beginning.
And the senior students don't know much about that.
The school also has no detailed records of the incident.
As far as I know, the original battle was related to that orchard. Since the professor is the grower of the orchard, is he also aware of the original war? "
Douglas was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be interested in that battle back then.
He rubbed his nose in embarrassment. At the beginning, he promised Headmaster Dumbledore not to mention that matter again.
So as not to cause a new war between the colleges.
"Ahem, Miss Dana, if you can get an O in Defense Against the Dark Arts in the owls exam, I think I can tell you the cause of that incident and the result, and let me tell you a little bit about the cause of that incident at the beginning. It was caused by me and your fellow Ravenclaws who have graduated."
Hey, when the students below heard that there was not only a male protagonist in that incident, but also a female protagonist and not just one.
There were a lot of dramas in my mind.
Douglas didn't care about the gossiping girls, he clapped his hands to silence the class.
Then he said to the whole class:
"Let's get down to business, it's really not as good as one class, when I was in school, the fourth grade was already nervous for the Owls exam.
And you are all in fifth grade now, and you don't know what the challenges you are about to face are. "
Douglas was indeed right in saying this, but not all students were nervous about the Owls exams in the fourth grade.
At his instigation, Bill Weasley formed a study support group.
Well, the paid ones.
"The Owls Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam is different from the previous final exams. The Owls is a twelve-subject exam held by the Ministry of Magic to determine your future.
This exam is a test by the Ministry of Magic for what you have learned in Hogwarts for five years, and it is also after you leave the campus.
An important basis for other wizards to identify your abilities.
And Defense Against the Dark Arts is one of the twelve test subjects.
I've seen your Defense Against the Dark Arts results before, and the lower grades' understanding of magical creatures is not bad.
But last year's mastery of defensive skills can be said to be terrible.
That is to say, this year you not only have to learn the knowledge of the fifth-grade meeting, but also master some necessary spells that were left behind last year.
Of course, you don't have to be nervous. I already have a plan for your study plan for the next year. "
After speaking, he tapped the stack of papers beside him with his wand.
Soon the test paper flew in front of everyone.
"This is a basic theoretical test paper, which covers the time since you entered Hogwarts.
The theoretical basis of all Defense Against the Dark Arts learned...
Of course, in addition to this exam, we also have practical exams.
These exams are related to your study direction this year...
There is one hour left in this class.
During this hour, you are considered to be in the examination room. Don't whisper to each other, and you are not allowed to use any magical methods to cheat. "
The Ravenclaws down there felt that Douglas' last words were an insult to them.
They are hard-working, smart and smart Ravenclaws, how could they cheat.
But when they saw the questions on the exam paper, their heads were stunned.
Are these questions sure to be in the textbook?
Example: Which of the following statements is correct?
a) Only those killed by the Unforgivable Curse can become Inferi.
b) can prevent haunting.
c) People don't know that there are dementors in the tropics.
d) A jinx is stronger than a hex, and a hex is stronger than a curse.
e) If a werewolf couple conceives during a full moon, they give birth to wolf pups instead of humans.
In addition to these mind-boggling questions, there are also some sub-questions.
However, this sub-question may be for some students.
How effective is the crushing spell (shattering bones)?
a. Make objects disappear
c. Blast objects into pieces
b. make the object smaller
d. Let the object melt
What would happen to the reader if he read the book of curses, The Sorcerer's Sonnets?
a. read forever
b. Immediate death
c. Inhale pages
d. I can only speak in five-line doggerel for the rest of my life
