New Professor at Hogwarts

"Let Fudge step down?"

Others were immediately surprised when they heard this. Professor McGonagall said: "Sirius, how could you have such an idea? It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous! Fudge is the Minister of Magic after all."

Lupine, Mr. Weasley, and Mrs. Weasley looked helpless beside them. It turned out that Sirius and Xia Ran had not given up on this dangerous idea.

Xia Ran said: "My idea, Professor McGonagall."

"Your..." Professor McGonagall was startled and turned her attention to Xia Ran. Sirius was always so bold and would have such dangerous thoughts. Although she did not agree, she was not particularly surprised, but Xia Ran was not like Are you such a bold person? !

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Ran, with different expressions. Some were in agreement, some were shaking their heads in disapproval like Professor McGonagall, and some were pondering and looking uncertain.

Dumbledore seemed to have a flash of light in his blue eyes. He looked at Xia Ran and said softly: "Xia Ran, why do you think so? Frankly speaking, I actually have no intention of serving as Minister of Magic. ."

Many people had expressions of regret upon hearing this. Hagrid and Sirius shook their heads in regret, but Moody seemed to know better and looked as usual.

Xia Ran also knew about Dumbledore's past, because his wrong ideas when he was young led to the death of his sister Ariana Dumbledore. Since then, Dumbledore has completely changed his mind and no longer pursues the idea of ​​wizards ruling Muggles. greater good" but instead ran around for peace, including defeating his former partner Grindelwald.

Dumbledore also recognized himself through this. He believed that he could not hold too much power, otherwise the impulses of his youth might resurface, and this was a scene he absolutely did not want to see.

"Voldemort is back. If he is really resurrected - maybe he has been resurrected now - then the dark wizards and dark creatures will have a backbone, and a powerful wizard who can really suppress them and lead them will appear, which will affect the order of the magic world and the Peace is a very huge challenge." Xia Ranxiao understood Dumbledore's weaknesses with emotion and reason. Peace was what he longed for in his life and was willing to risk his life to protect it.

Xia Ran is not a wizard from the evil camp. Generally speaking, he is also in the order camp. Moreover, he does admire Dumbledore. However, Fugui also believes that he is holding everyone back. He turns a blind eye to the facts before his eyes and is even more slanderous. Dumbledore took the initiative to create a very good situation for Voldemort, which made people very angry.

He believed that Fudge no longer needed to be the Minister of Magic. If his strength and reputation were not enough, he might have competed for the position of Minister.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case. After all, he is also not interested in power. Becoming strong is what he desires to pursue.

Xia Ran continued: "Fudge will only hinder us. His becoming minister is the situation that Voldemort wants to see most. And what the enemy wants to see, we can just destroy it."

"Xia Ran, you are right." Hagrid was the first to agree and said loudly, "That despicable guy Fudge, we were all deceived by his former modesty and gentleness. This kind of person should step down! The mysterious man is so powerful that he has consumed almost all our energy, and we can no longer let the Ministry of Magic restrict us."

Snape had a strange look on his face and said slowly: "Headmaster, what do you think? Maybe Fudge will step down." He also expressed his attitude.

Dumbledore pondered for a while, but he still thought that this was not a good plan and refused: "There is no need to say more about this matter. Voldemort is powerful, the Death Eaters and the dark creature camp are equally powerful. We in the magic world cannot have internal strife. Fudge is generally still Someone who can stabilize the situation.”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hold the power. Maybe I will be even scarier than Fudge by then."

Everyone didn't believe what he said, but Dumbledore, as the leader, said so. Even if many of them had some ideas, they had no choice but to give up.

After the memorial service, everyone took a break and chatted for a while about their respective tasks and related intelligence information, but there was not much progress. Voldemort was indeed hidden and no trace of him could be found.

While the adult wizards were having a meeting, the young wizards were of course sent upstairs to clean the old Black mansion.

Black's old house has been uninhabited for more than ten years. The house elf Kreacher may have had some mental problems because of Regulus' incident. Anyway, he didn't clean the house very much, resulting in many places covered with cobwebs. There are also many dangerous creatures living here.

Mrs. Weasley led a group of young wizards to clean the house.

"Mom, can we go to the kitchen and observe the meeting?" Fred asked.

Mrs. Weasley refused bluntly: "No! You are too young. Knowing too much will do you no good." She clapped her hands again and said loudly: "Okay, children, don't you want to do something for the Order of the Phoenix?" Is it something? This headquarters is too dirty. If you help clean it up, it is your contribution."

"Oh, my God, Mom, can you bear to have your children spend Christmas here cleaning?" George said sadly, covering his chest.

Mrs. Weasley gave George a fierce look, and George immediately restrained himself and muttered: "Well, it's really no good coming here this time."

"Children, you are really too young. Resisting mysterious people, fighting dark wizards and dark creatures is really not as simple as you think. Many people... many people..." Mrs. Weasley said with red eyes and tears. It seemed to be overflowing, "Your uncle, Fabian... Given... died in the war, and the mysterious man... Since the mysterious man has returned, the second war will start soon. Maybe the clarion call for war has started...I'm afraid..."

She shed tears sadly.

Several children quickly comforted their mother. Percy said: "Mom, don't worry. After I graduate, I will become a powerful wizard and a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic. You will be proud of me!"

"Really, Mum, Percy is enough, just ask less for us." George took the opportunity to say that he and Fred had never wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic - this was what Mrs. Weasley had always told them. planning-but I want to open a store of my own.

Mrs. Weasley had the intention to keep a straight face and teach the twin brothers a lesson, but at this time her authority was no longer enough, and she could no longer teach the two naughty children harshly.

Seeing the blank faces of Harry and Hermione, Ron explained in a low voice: "Fabian and Given are our uncles. They died more than ten years ago before I was born. They seemed to have died somewhere. It was in the hands of the Death Eater Dolohov, and my mother would cry when she mentioned it."

"We have only seen photos of our uncles. They seem to be members of the Order of the Phoenix." Ginny also whispered.

At this time the door opened and someone walked in.

"Um, maybe I should have come in two minutes later in the evening."

Xia Ran opened the door and came in, asking: "Mrs. Weasley, are you okay?"
