New Professor at Hogwarts

Xia Ran said helplessly: "This is indeed the case."

"Fact? Ha." Snape seemed to sneer, then looked at Dumbledore, and said slowly, "So, our headmaster raised Harry Potter just to allow him to go to Dumbledore when necessary. Death? Like raising a pig to be slaughtered?"

Dumbledore was silent.

"Severus..." Professor McGonagall was a little surprised. Snape had always disliked Harry, so why was he acting so weird now?

Do you think he is happy? Definitely not; he was very angry and sad, right? Not that much.

Xia Ran understands Snape's mood. Harry has always been Lily's son and has the same green eyes as his mother. This is enough for Snape, just like he wanted Harry before his death in the original time and space. Look at him the same.

He wanted to look into those green eyes!

"Severus, don't tell me that you are starting to care about that child." Dumbledore said softly.

Snape didn't answer, sitting on the chair that Xia Ran had just conjured up, silent and silent.

"Xia Ran, tell me what you learned - well, or speculated - about." Dumbledore said.

Several people's eyes were focused on Xia Ran, even the principals on the walls. It seemed that there was something surprising about that child - Harry Potter, the only one who escaped Avada's Kedavra Curse. The expected thing happened.

"The mysterious man made a Horcrux to ensure his immortality." Xia Ran said slowly, "The diary in the Chamber of Secrets that Harry opened when he was in second grade was from when the mysterious man was young—his student days to be precise. ——A Horcrux made, the Myrtle in the bathroom is the victim who the mysterious man used to split the soul fragments to make the Horcrux."

"Follow-up...well, let's put this aside for now. Let's mainly talk about Harry."

Xia Ran continued: "The first time the mysterious man collapsed was because he attacked the Potter family living in Godric's Hollow..."

When Xia Ran said this, Snape suddenly looked a little uncomfortable.

"In the end, we all know that James died and Lily died. Before she died, she released an ancient magic that reflected the Avada Kedavra used by the mysterious man, causing his body to be destroyed and reduced to something worse than a wandering ghost. The inferior remnants - I remember I mentioned this to myself after the mysterious man came back from resurrection - also, because of the Horcrux, the mysterious man never died completely, and no matter how bad his condition was, he still survived."

"However...in that room at that time, the mysterious man was struck by the rebound of the Avada Kedavra he had released, causing his body to be destroyed. Although he relied on the Horcrux to survive, his soul was inevitably divided and naturally attached to the body at that time. On top of the only living creature in the house.”

Xia Ran said, glanced around, and whispered: "That's Harry Potter."

"You mean...Harry is one of the mysterious man's Horcruxes?" Professor McGonagall was shocked, "Can living people become Horcruxes? Aren't only dead things able to be made into Horcruxes?"

"There are always exceptions to everything." Xia Ran shrugged.

Snape's face seemed to become more gloomy, and he whispered: "Harry Potter is the Horcrux of You-Know-Who, which means... if you want to get rid of You-Know-Who, Harry Potter must die." ?”

"I'm afraid you're right, Severus," Dumbledore said.

Snape looked ugly and could hardly suppress his anger. He said word by word: "Dumbledore, is this the promise you gave me?"

He glared viciously at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore did not evade, with a lot of guilt and apologies on his face. He did not expect at first that Harry was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and that death was Harry's inevitable destination!

Xia Ran suddenly chuckled, facing the dissatisfied looks of Snape, Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall, and whispered: "I have always said that Harry must die for once, but I never said that he should die." I can only die!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't the mysterious man always want to kill Harry with his own hands and get rid of the idea that Harry is his old enemy?" Xia Ran chuckled, "Then let him, let's create opportunities for him..."

"Xia Ran?!" Professor McGonagall was immediately dissatisfied.

"Professor McGonagall, don't worry, listen to me." Xia Ran raised her hand and said, "Harry has a mysterious person's soul fragment in his body. For us, if we take action, it will naturally be both - ha Lee and the mysterious man's soul fragments will both die, but what if the mysterious man takes action himself?"

He chuckled and said: "Depending on the special connection between the two, he will probably only kill fragments of his own soul, but will not be able to endanger Harry's life."

"Probably?" Snape repeated a word.

"No one is completely sure about this kind of thing, right?" Xia Ran said.

Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Voldemort can only take action. After he takes action and 'kills' Harry, he must prevent any subsequent harm."

"That's pretty much what it means." Xia Ran nodded. This was the situation in the original time and space.

"This kind of opportunity is not easy to find." Dumbledore said with a wry smile.

"Then do you have a better way?"

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, yes, if you have a choice, why bother so much?

The problem is that they have no other second choice!

"Horcruxes?" Snape suddenly said, "In addition to the diary, Harry Potter, and Slytherin's locket, how many Horcruxes does the mysterious man have? If his possessions were not completely cleared before the final layout, Horcrux, that is just a replay of the scene from more than ten years ago, and he will come back again in ten or twenty years!"

When this issue was mentioned, Xia Ran's eyes flashed, but he did not speak. He could not explain it well if he knew the details of Voldemort's Horcrux.

Dumbledore pondered: "Maybe I can find an old friend. If I guess correctly, it was from him that Tom learned about the concept of Horcrux, an ancient evil black magic."

"Who?" Snape asked.

"It should be familiar to you, Severus," Dumbledore said.

Snape's mind was spinning and he whispered: "Professor Slughorn?!"

Before he took over as Slytherin's Head of House, Slughorn was Slytherin's Head of House and his Potions teacher.

"It seems that I have to visit my old friend. I hope he has not moved." Dumbledore said.

After chatting for a while, several people said goodbye to Dumbledore one after another and left the principal's office.

The next day, because it was Sunday, there were no classes that day. Xia Ran still got up early to get familiar with the magic and improve her control over the magic.

The news of Harry's coma has spread to the four colleges, as well as the two magic schools Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Many people say that Harry Potter was so angry that he eventually passed out because of jealousy because he did not become a Hogwarts warrior!

"Are they all irrational?" When Harry learned this statement, he was immediately furious. "Who would fall into a coma due to jealousy?"

"You!" Ron said, seeing Harry's angry gaze, and said, "Okay, just kidding."

"By the way, did the professor say who that person was yesterday? The person who was captured by the mysterious man?" Harry asked again.
