New Professor at Hogwarts

"The Ford Anglia flies and Muggles are shocked!"

Hermione read aloud the headline on the front page of this issue of the Daily Prophet. She read aloud: "Two Muggles in London are convinced they saw an old car flying past the Post Office Building... At Noon at Novotel Mrs. Hetty Bayliss was hanging laundry, Mr. Angus Fleet of Peebles reported to the police..."

"This car must belong to the Weasley family, I'm sure I've seen it before." Hermione said in disbelief, "How dare they..."

Obviously, she thought about who was driving the car. The Weasleys were law-abiding and would not be so reckless. The other Weasley children were either abroad or staying well on the Hogwarts Express. , then wouldn’t the only ones left in the end be Ron and Harry who disappeared?

"Hey, Hermione, this is an important event that deserves to be recorded!" Fred's voice came from the opposite compartment. He looked at the "Daily Prophet" and said complainingly, "Ron and the others should record it." We also called him back."

George also looked annoyed.

"What?" Hermione seemed to suspect that she heard wrongly.

"Hermione, relax." George smiled, "Dad used magic to carefully modify that car. There will be no problems."

"No, that's not what I meant..." Hermione hurriedly retorted, but Fred and George had already left the last carriage with the "Daily Prophet" and went to find their friends to share the news.

Xia Ran thought to himself: "That's not necessarily the case."

He remembered that the Flying Car ended up having trouble, causing Harry and Ron to crash into the Whomping Willow outside the Shrieking Shack at Hogwarts.

"How cool!" Neville whispered.

"Neville, you too..."

"Don't worry so much, Hermione." Xia Ran smiled, "Harry and Ron will not have any problems. Besides, they are also wizards. Even if something happens, they can still use magic."

"Professor, that's not what I meant." Hermione said anxiously, "They shouldn't do this. It's illegal."

"There must be another reason. Harry and Ron are not Fred and George, they are not students who are trying their best to play pranks." Xia Ran said, "The "Restraint of Minor Wizards Act" will also allow young wizards to use magic at critical times. of."

Hermione still looked worried, mixed with a bit of dissatisfaction.

Neville looked yearning, which made Hermione angrier.

After receiving the "Daily Prophet", the train stopped at the platform not long after. Xia Ran got off the train alone. The house elves would help him deliver the things to his office.

In the relatively cold night wind, a lamp lit up and swayed above the students' heads, followed by a rough voice shouting: "First-year students! First-year students come over here!" It was Hagrid.

Xia Ran raised her head and said hello to Hagrid. His bearded face showed a smile. Xia Ran studied at Hogwarts, so the two of them knew each other.

"Goodbye, Professor," said Hermione and Neville as they disappeared into the darkness.

Hogwarts Castle stands on a high hillside on the other side of a black lake. There are many spiers on the castle, and windows twinkle under the stars.

After he entered Hogwarts Castle, he immediately saw Professor McGonagall.

"Good evening, Professor McGonagall." Xia Ran said.

"Good evening, Professor Frémont." Professor McGonagall said. She stood in front of the door, waiting for Hagrid to hand over the first-year students to her.

After eight years, Xia Ran finally entered the Hogwarts Great Hall again. Students from the four houses of Hogwarts were already gathered around four long tables in twos and threes, with thousands of people above the tables. Candles floating in the air illuminated the auditorium brightly. There were gleaming gold plates and goblets on the four tables. There was another long table on the upper stage of the auditorium, which was for the teachers. Seat, where Xia Ran is going.

"Look, he's our new professor!"

"I wonder if it's the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor or the combat professor?"

"Probably the combat professor. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Gilderoy Lockhart."

"What? Lockhart is our professor??"

Finally, there was a chattering discussion among a group of little witches. Xia Ran walked by, laughing secretly in her stomach. I am afraid that within two months, these little witches will find that Lockhart is not at all as wise, powerful, and fearless as they imagined. Now, he is handsome and handsome, so there may be no change.

Lockhart's personal appearance is indeed outstanding.

"Hello, Professor Frémont, I am Gilderoy Lockhart. You must know me. I am a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and the five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile. Prize!" Gilderoy Lockhart stood up from his seat. He was wearing a blue wizard robe that matched his blue eyes, and a pointed wizard hat was tilted playfully on his wavy blond hair. Showing off his bright front teeth, he held Xia Ran's hand and shook it vigorously.

The professors on the side seemed to have dissatisfaction, but this dissatisfaction was mainly directed at Lockhart, and they greeted Xia Ran warmly.

"Xia Ran, I knew you would come back." Because Professor Flitwick was too short, he stood on the chair, shook Xia Ran's hand, and said, "I have all the letters you gave me during the summer. Read it carefully, I believe that the Charms class will be very closely related to the Combat class."

"Yes, Professor Flitwick, I believe this too." Xia Ran sat down in his seat. He looked around. On his left was Professor Trelawney of the Divination class, and on his right was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Professor Lockhart was in the art class. He was greeting some little witches in the auditorium, smiling so much that he showed his white teeth.

Xia Ran clearly saw the frowns on the faces of Professor Flitwick, Professor Trelawney and others, as if they were somewhat dissatisfied with Lockhart's behavior.

Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout and others have not arrived yet.

And a male wizard with a gloomy face glanced at the auditorium without leaving a trace, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Severus Snape..." Xia Ran looked at Professor Snape. This was a double agent in the original time and space. He was also an affectionate and tragic figure. In the end, he died in Voldemort's snake. Ginny's mouth and gave his memory to Harry Potter.

Snape, who had greasy hair and a gloomy face, noticed someone looking at him. He turned around and saw that it was Hogwarts' newest combat professor, Charan Fremont. He immediately frowned tightly.

What does the sigh that flashed across Xia Ran's face mean?

But soon the whereabouts of Harry Potter attracted him even more, and Snape set his sights on the Great Hall again, hoping to see the green-eyed boy who he both loathed and disgusted, but who was also sworn to protect to the death.

But Harry Potter never appeared in the auditorium.

Xia Ran withdrew her gaze and smiled secretly: "Hey, Snape is looking for Harry Potter, but he may be disappointed unless he leaves the auditorium."

As soon as he thought of this, Snape stood up and left the great hall.

Xia Ran couldn't help but shook her head. Concern leads to chaos, and even a gloomy and determined person like Snape is no exception.

Then his eyes were firmly attracted by something.
