Chapter 298 Meeting an old classmate by chance

After the car stopped, Sirius winked at Harry, then quickly got out of the car and walked towards Douglas.

"I've finished everything you told me and haven't changed a word. Where's Moony Face?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Douglas's shoulder.

Douglas quickly moved away and said with a look of disgust:

"Didn't I ask you to change into a formal suit? Today we are going to visit University College London as Hogwarts Middle School. If you dress like this, others will think that we are not a serious school.

Lupine went to Newbury, where there was a good factory, and he went there in advance to make arrangements. "

Sirius blinked and said with a smile:

"Serious? Are we a serious school for Muggles? Come on, Harry."

After getting out of the car, Harry took out the small flag and held it high. When the little wizards saw Douglas, they all followed him calmly.

The whole team was like a group of junior high school kids, with a few high school students following them. Fortunately, they had all been trained before and knew how to line up from high to low.

(Five years of British junior high school, 11-16 years old, sixth form (similar to domestic high school) 16-18 years old.)

Douglas said to everyone:

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the first stop of our journey, University College London..."

Speaking of this, he quietly used the sound transmission spell:

"You remember clearly, we are from Hogwarts Middle School in the Scottish Highlands. The purpose of coming here today is for the school to organize outstanding students to visit University College London. This is also the goal you want to obtain in the future..."

Sirius on the side suddenly asked:

"Doug, I remember you said before that after graduating from Hogwarts, you studied at a Muggle university. Is this here?"

When the young wizards heard that their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had attended a Muggle university, they immediately pricked up their ears.

Percy's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he considered finding an opportunity to ask his boss to find out if there was anything in it. His boss had given him some Muggle management books before, and he found them very interesting. He heard that Muggles also had Specialized in management.

Douglas rolled his eyes, but did not refuse to answer:

"Of course, I have to choose a good school, but I was at the School of Pharmacy, University of London, right over there... They all belong to the University of London Alliance. Of course, such a complicated relationship has nothing to do with you. , your main purpose today is to visit how students at Muggle universities live."

Hermione raised her hand and asked:

"Professor, why are we visiting the university?"

Douglas explained:

"First, after you graduate, not all of you will stay in the magical world, so it is necessary to learn some non-magical skills, especially in this ever-changing Muggle world. Understanding Muggle history, culture and science will help You will better integrate into Muggle society in the future, or complete the tasks of your profession.

Second, after all, the Muggle world accounts for a large proportion of this world. At some point, you need to hide your identity. For example, you can obtain a legal identity through studying at a Muggle university so that you can move in Muggle society.

Third, although Hogwarts is the best magic school in the world, it still has its own limitations. You need to understand the latest Muggle science, technology, medicine and other fields, and verify it with the magic you learn, so that You are one step closer to magic. Breaking out of the framework of the wizarding world and looking at problems from a Muggle perspective can broaden your horizons and improve your thinking skills.

Fourth, and most importantly, only by understanding the Muggle world can we discover potential threats and better protect the secrets of the magical world.

It's about this time, does anyone have any questions? Well, if there are no problems... By the way, there is one more thing, because Muggle universities only recruit students who have graduated from high school at the age of 18, so they are very suitable for Hogwarts graduates to further their studies. "

"Hi Douglas?"

Douglas suddenly heard someone calling him and looked to the side. I saw a boy of the same age wearing a leather jacket, and next to him was a girl with blond hair wearing glasses, greeting him.

Douglas quickly recalled his memory, and then remembered that this was his former roommate at the School of Pharmacy, University of London.

"Um, Carlisle, long time no see."

I saw the man in the jacket across from me rushing up and saying excitedly:

"It's really you. You dropped out of school without saying a word, and no one knew where you went. Hi, uncle, you're so cool!"

He said and gave Sirius a thumbs up.

The corner of Sirius's mouth twitched. He was only ten years older than them, so he was no longer an uncle.

Douglas quietly used a sound transmission spell to explain to the little wizards watching the theater:

"Remember, the first step to integrate into Muggle society is to learn to control yourself from saying Muggle."

After they heard it, they nodded repeatedly.

This made Carlisle on the side look puzzled.

Douglas then smiled and said to Carlisle:

"Why are you still here? If I remember correctly, you should have graduated by now, right?"

Carlisle said excitedly:

"I have been recommended to graduate school, and I have to thank you for some wonderful ideas you told me. The professor said that those ideas are of great epoch-making significance in the entire history of pharmacy.

By the way, what are you doing now? Do you have a girlfriend? There were so many female classmates chasing you, but you didn't agree. Are you still single now?

If not, would you like my girlfriend to introduce you to some? She is a sophomore at University College London, and her classmates are all young and beautiful college students. "

As soon as these words came out, a group of young wizards seemed to realize that their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to be single all the time. He was mixed with a group of older wizards every day, but they never thought about this problem.

Penello suddenly smiled and whispered to Percy:

"What I know is that many of the senior students in the previous class and the girls in our current class have written love letters to the professor. One senior even sent a love potion to the professor last year. But none of them succeeded. .”

Percy whispered what he heard from Bill and Charlie. Some of the professor's classmates had already done this kind of thing. The girls later played what the professor had experienced back then. Of course, it was difficult to succeed.

Douglas smiled and responded:

"I am now a teacher in a middle school in the Scottish Highlands. The school has arranged for me to lead students to visit the university to stimulate their motivation to work hard."

Carlisle said in surprise:

"Why did you become a teacher? I always thought you were secretly admitted to the laboratory of some pharmaceutical company. You have such a good talent in pharmacy, but it's really a shame that a genius in pharmacy went to become a middle school teacher. ”

Sirius said proudly:

"Genius in Pharmacy? If Snivellus hears this, will he regret not letting him enter the advanced... um, I mean advanced class."

Carlisle asked curiously:

"What advanced class? Did you go to another school to study pharmacy? The University of London School of Pharmacy is the best pharmacy school in the world."

At this time, the people below said a little unconvinced:

"The professor is our most powerful professor. He knows everything. Hogwarts is also the most... ugh..."

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was quickly covered by a winking classmate.

Douglas thought to himself, let's not continue the conversation, otherwise this old Muggle classmate would think of him as mentally ill next.

"Carlisle, I'm sorry, I have something else to do. How about we find a chance to talk again?"

Carlisle rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied:

"Professor? It's not a formal title. Let's not talk about it. Do you have time tonight? Let's have a dinner together. I'll invite my professor out. I mentioned you to him. If you have a chance, you can come back and continue studying. Maybe he will recruit you to become his graduate student. You have a better future than being a teacher in a middle school. This is my phone number. Call me when you are done."

After saying that, Carlisle tore out a page from the notebook in his pocket, wrote a phone number on it and handed it to Douglas.

Then he made faces at the little wizards and said:

"Little guys, if you really love your 'professor' (emphasis added) so much, you should learn to let go. His talent in pharmacy cannot be delayed because of you. Haha..."

After that, he took his girlfriend and left.

After taking a few steps, he made a gesture to Douglas to contact him by phone.
