New Professor at Hogwarts

"Xia Ran, long time no see."

A young man with a long ponytail stretched out his hand and shook Xia Ran's hand. He also wore an earring with something like a small fan hanging on it. Unlike other Weasleys, He just looks so cool.

"Bill, long time no see, how is your job at Gringotts Egypt?" Xia Ran asked with a smile. This young man is Bill Weasley, the eldest son of the Weasley family. The position of Curse Breaker.

"Fortunately, it's quite interesting, especially when encountering various evil curses." Bill smiled. He also has a character that pursues interesting things.

"Xia Ran, how is your job as a professor? I didn't expect you to become a professor at Hogwarts in the end." A short and stocky man asked, he was Charlie Weasley.

Charlie is the second son of the Weasley family. He was once the Quidditch captain of Gryffindor. Now he is raising a dragon in Romania. He has a broad face like a good gentleman, weathered, and covered with freckles. He looks almost It turned brown and black, and looked bigger than his brother Bill.

Charlie's arms were muscular, and there was a large fire burn scar on one arm. He was shorter than his brother, but also fatter and stronger, probably because he raised dragons outside.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Great! As you know, Dumbledore rarely interferes with the professor's teaching arrangements, as long as he doesn't have any problems, but such a group of little wizards can easily deal with it."

Bill and Charlie laughed.

"Professor!" the brown-haired girl said dissatisfiedly. Her two front teeth were relatively large. She was the academic champion of this year's Hogwarts—Hermione Granger.

"Haha, just kidding." Xia Ran chuckled, "Except for a small number of professors - the majority of whom are Defense Against the Dark Arts professors - most of the teachers are very dedicated."

"I wonder who our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is this year?" George asked.

"I really hope Professor Lupine continues to teach!" Fred said.

"But he is a werewolf..." Ron said, and when he saw a few people looking at him, he quickly said, "Of course I like Professor Lupine to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, but many students don't think so. , especially Slytherin students, will definitely complain!"

"That's why Professor Lupine took the initiative to resign to Dumbledore," Ginny said.

"Damn Fudge!" Fred cursed softly.

"Professor Frémont, do you have any news?" Harry asked. He also liked Professor Lupin's teachings - especially with the contrast between Professor Quirrell and Professor Lockhart - so he was very interested in Lupin's teachings. I feel very sorry for Professor Ping's resignation.

Xia Ran chuckled and said: "You will know when the time comes, and it will definitely be beyond your expectations." Seeing the frowns on several people's faces, she smiled and said, "You will definitely recognize that teacher by then!"

He already knew from Dumbledore that Moody had agreed to Dumbledore's invitation to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new semester.

It is said that Dumbledore also resolutely dismissed the wizards Fudge had arranged from the Ministry of Magic for this reason.

Xia Ran was thinking, a wizard arranged by the Ministry of Magic? Also teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts? Couldn't it be the Umbridge who was in Harry's fifth grade in the original time and space?

Of course, now that Dumbledore has firmly rejected him, no one will dispute Moody's appointment. Is it true that he was the strongest Auror in the past?

"I asked for leave to come back to watch the Quidditch World Cup, and by the way, I participated in the protection work of this World Cup. I applied to Dumbledore, and he agreed." Bill said, "The same goes for Charlie, but after the Quidditch World Cup, we will still They have to go back to the countries where they work."

"Your father and I hope that you will all be transferred back to England. Egypt and Romania are too far away." Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the kitchen.

"I'm not going to be transferred back. I like raising dragons." Charlie shook his head and said, "And Dumbledore also needs wizards to stay abroad and pay close attention to what's going on in the magical world abroad. I don't think the mysterious man will be willing to stay here all the time. In the British wizarding world.”

"I think so too," Bill said softly, "But I'm still going to apply for a transfer back to Gringotts in Diagon Alley. I really hope this transfer order can be issued as soon as possible."

Xia Ran said: "The mysterious man has not revealed any whereabouts for the time being, no matter what his secret plan is, but it is obvious that the mysterious man is not planning to show up in the short term."

"He may have a plan to harm both us and the Ministry of Magic, and he will finally come out to get a big advantage." Bill guessed.

"Maybe." Xia Ran knew what Voldemort might be doing now, trying to steal the prophecy ball from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. Dumbledore, Snape and others also knew about this, so there was no need for him It would be unnecessary to bring it up again.

But Bill and Charlie had just returned from abroad and were not sure about this.

"He is looking for something, but..." Xia Ran said, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it during the meeting. You will know then."

Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George sighed with regret. They wanted to hear more information.

"Then let's not talk about it." Charlie said with a smile, knowing that there is no need to let the little wizards who are still studying know this kind of thing.

"Oh, Arthur, what's wrong? Percy..." Mrs. Weasley's voice seemed a little anxious, and then there were footsteps in the kitchen, and Mrs. Weasley seemed to have left the kitchen.

A group of people in the living room also came outside.

At the door of the Burrow, Mr. Weasley and Percy both had gloomy or angry expressions on their faces. The atmosphere between them was very stiff and not a word was said.

Mrs. Weasley looked anxious and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Okay, let's go back to the room and sit down first. Let's eat and eat. You have to go to work in the afternoon."

"Don't eat!" Percy said angrily, and walked directly past everyone into the house without saying hello, as if he didn't see anyone else.

Xia Ran and Percy looked at each other. Percy's eyes remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed, but Xia Ran knew that Percy had made up his mind to cut off from the Weasley family now in order to completely penetrate into the core of the Ministry of Magic.

This was what they had discussed in Spider Tail Alley a few days ago.

Xia Ran could only give him a careful look. The only good thing was that Percy was undercover from the Ministry of Magic, not the undercover Death Eater organization like Snape.

"Percy, Percy..." Mrs. Weasley shouted.

"Stop calling him!" Mr. Weasley shouted, "If he wants to leave, let him go! Let me see what he will become after entering the Ministry of Magic? If he is willing to be Fudge's lackey, let him go!" I act as if I never had this son!"

The sound of packing luggage could be heard upstairs in the Burrow.

"Oh, Arthur, what's going on? What's going on?" Mrs. Weasley asked confused.
