New Professor at Hogwarts

"That's it... Okay, I'll pick him up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Xia Ran touched her chin and accepted the task assigned by Dumbledore.

Huhu~~

The big golden-red bird—Phoenix Fox flapped its wings, chirped twice happily, turned into a ball of flame and disappeared into Xiaran's Fremont Manor.

The phoenix is ​​often used by Dumbledore for communication, and it can be called one of the best communication tools in the new era!

"Xia Ran, Xia Ran!"

Then a voice called from his fireplace.

As he passed by, he happened to see Mr. Weasley's head and upper half of his body floating in a turquoise flame.

"Charran, Dumbledore asked you to pick up Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked.

Xia Ran nodded and said, "Yes, Phoenix just came to deliver the letter."

There is no need to hide this.

"Well, you know, I got some tickets for the World Cup, and Ron wanted Harry and Hermione to go there together - they are the best classmates - and Hermione will be coming to the Burrow in two days, haha Li Ben, we were going to pick him up in person, but Dumbledore said he wanted you to pick him up." Mr. Weasley said sheepishly, "So, I hope...Charran, you know...although the Burrow ...Probably no better than Blake's old house..."

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will bring him to the Burrow intact."

"I will tell Sirius personally, thank you very much, Xia Ran." Mr. Weasley said.

"During the Quidditch World Cup, Sirius and the others are a defensive force and will also rush to the World Cup. In fact, it may be safer for Harry to follow you." Xia Ran said, "Who knows what Voldemort is planning secretly? ? I don’t think Voldemort will remain indifferent to the World Cup, a place where tens of thousands of wizards gather.”

"On the contrary, I hope he will be indifferent." Mr. Weasley said with a bitter smile, "This is better. After all, there are so many people at the World Cup. What if..."

He shuddered. If Voldemort really had any plans, the Quidditch World Cup would have a huge impact. After all, wizards attending the event were from all over the world, from all over the world.

After Mr. Weasley canceled the Floo fan communication, Xia Ran first wrote a letter and sent it to No. 4 Privet Street, where it was collected by Harry Potter.

"It's always good to give advance notice for this kind of door-to-door visit." Xia Ran thought again, "But this is a letter from the magical world. Maybe Harry will be scolded by his aunt and uncle again?"

So Xia Ran decided to use the post office to send letters - not an owl post office, but a post office in the Muggle world - delivering letters through normal channels.

…

Four days later, Xia Ran disapparated to London, took a car to Surrey County in southwest London, and walked to Privet Street, which is also the address of the Dursley family.

"Boy, don't let me see... the owl... the weird person..."

"I want you to tell them to dress appropriately, those people really can't say that!"

He heard the roar coming from the house at No. 4 Privet Drive outside the door.

"Vernon..." The other woman's voice trembled slightly, as if she was reminding her of something, and the previous man's roar suddenly weakened in volume.

It seemed that Harry's life was still the same.

Xia Ran thought to herself and rang the doorbell.

"coming!"

A tall, burly, fat man with no neck and a big beard opened the door. He saw Xia Ran standing outside the door and was stunned.

He seemed to have never seen such a "normal" wizard.

"Hello, Mr. Vernon Dursley? I am Sharon Frémont, Harry's professor." Sharon smiled and stretched out her right hand. Vernon Dursley shook it blankly. He raised his hand and looked at his expression, as if he was very surprised that Xia Ran knew their etiquette!

"Professor." Harry wore a pair of glasses and carried a large suitcase in his hand. He packed all the things he needed for school soon after receiving Xia Ran's letter.

Harry was slightly relieved. Fortunately, it was Professor Frémont. He knew that Professor Frémont was also a half-blood wizard, so he was not surprised that he knew Muggle etiquette and clothing. If it were Mr. Weasley...

He thought Uncle Vernon might be in for a shock!

A thin blonde woman and a fat man were sitting on the sofa in the living room. They were Harry's relatives, Aunt Petunia and Dudley Dursley.

Aunt Petunia crossed her arms, pursed her lips, and frowned tightly. Her eyes seemed to be looking at Xia Ran to see what was different about this normal wizard.

Dudley had had contact with wizards before, and as a result, a curled pig tail grew out of the back of his trousers. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon had to spend a lot of money to send him to a private hospital in London to have the tail cut off.

Dudley had just recovered from the fright, so it was no wonder that he was so nervous now. He kept touching his butt with his hands and tried his best to hide behind his mother, but this move was doomed. It was in vain because he was too fat!

"Are you a professor at that school?" Uncle Vernon still looked at Xia Ran with suspicion, as if he was a liar.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "If it's fake, do you need me to do a little magic to verify it?" He took out the wand from his pocket.

"Hiss..." Uncle Vernon immediately took a breath of cold air and quickly backed away from Xia Ran, as if he was worried that Xia Ran would recite a spell for him, and Dudley's reaction was even greater, almost all of a sudden. Hiding behind Aunt Petunia.

Aunt Petunia, on the other hand, managed to maintain a calm posture, even though she looked equally terrified.

"Okay, just kidding." Xia Ran took back her wand, came to the Dursleys' living room and sat down, and said, "Can I have a glass of water? I've been thirsty since I took the car all the way here."

Judging from the looks on the Dursleys' faces, they seemed to doubt whether they knew what a car was.

Xia Ran was speechless and prepared to pour a glass of water by herself.

"Uh, Professor, let me do it." Harry said quickly, poured a glass of water for Xia Ran, and said, "Professor, when will we..."

"Don't worry, Harry." Xia Ran smiled, and a narrow-minded thought suddenly appeared in his heart. He looked at Aunt Petunia and said with a smile, "Harry's aunt? I have heard of your name."

He shook Aunt Petunia's hand.

Aunt Petunia looked confused, obviously not understanding why she was known to the professor of this magic school.

Harry, Uncle Vernon and Dudley were equally surprised, confused and stunned.

"I just went to Spider End Alley a few days ago and met Severus. You should still have an impression, Petunia." Xia Ran said softly.

These words were like dropping a bomb. Aunt Petunia's expression changed in an instant and became extremely pale.

Harry, his uncle and Table were even more confused.

"I don't... understand..." Aunt Petunia stammered, "You pick up Harry and leave. We..."

"Professor, Spider's End, and Snape, they..." Harry asked immediately. Aunt Petunia didn't seem to know anything about the magical world as she said.

"Petunia..." Vernon looked at his wife.

Dudley looked around, as if he still didn't understand what was happening.
