New Professor at Hogwarts

Xia Ran patted Harry on the shoulder, told him to calm down, and said softly: "May I think so, Thicknesse, do you think the appearance of the Dementors... is a lie, a big lie, used to deceive the Ministry of Magic and the Of all people, and was this a lie that Harry and I spun together?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Thicknesse said haughtily.

Harry glared at Thicknesse angrily, clenching his teeth, and wanted to cast a curse on this man. Unfortunately, his wand was registered by the security checkpoint, and he would definitely be discovered if he used magic.

Of course, he also knew that using magic without authorization in front of so many adult wizards was extremely unwise and irrational behavior.

The whispers in the courtroom became louder, and the looks of many people looking at Harry, including Xia Ran, changed subtly, which undoubtedly made Harry even more annoyed.

Xia Ran smiled calmly and said: "Perhaps you have overlooked it - or you may have ignored it intentionally - are dark creatures like dementors normally something that an underage wizard can deal with? Even many adult wizards don't know the Patronus Charm, and you all should know that, right?"

"Yes." Ms. Bones nodded, looked at Harry and asked, "So, Harry Potter, you created a Patronus, a complete and mature Patronus? Dementors will not retreat easily. ."

"Yes." Harry replied.

"A physical patron saint?"

"I'm sorry, what?" Harry felt like he didn't hear clearly.

"A physical patronus!" Ms. Bones said in a booming voice. "Your patronus has a distinct form? I mean, is it not just vapor or smoke?"

"Yes," said Harry, feeling irritated and a little desperate, "a stag, always a stag."

"Every time?" Ms. Bones's voice could be found to have changed slightly as she said, "Have you ever transformed a patron saint before?"

"Yes," Harry replied, "I've been doing this for months."

"Are you fifteen now?" Ms. Bones asked.

"Yes, and..."

"Did you learn it at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Ms. Bones interrupted him and continued to ask.

Harry answered truthfully: "Yes, Professor Lupine mentioned it when I was in third grade, and Professor Frémont taught us when I was in fourth grade, because..."

"It's amazing." Ms. Bones looked at him from above and said, "Harry Potter, at his age, he can transform into a real Patronus...it's really amazing!"

Some wizards around her began to whisper to each other again, some nodded, while others showed displeasure and shook their heads.

"It's not a question of how amazing magic is, Minister." Thicknesse said in an annoyed voice, "In fact, I think the more amazing it is, the worse it is, because the kid did it in front of a Muggle! "

The wizards who looked displeased, such as Yaxley, murmured their approval.

As a result, Harry actually saw Percy Weasley nod his head pretending to be serious. He glared at Percy angrily, but Percy pretended not to notice.

"As you wish, Thicknesse." Xia Ran said softly, "In order to ensure the implementation of the two laws, the International Wizarding Secrets Act and the Reasonable Restraint of Minor Wizards Act, even some of our young wizards, Underage wizards encounter fatal dangers and are not allowed to use magic. They can only sit back and wait for death?"

"That's not what I meant," Thicknesse said angrily.

"No, that's what you mean!" Xia Ran said softly, "I know that in the eyes of people like Thicknesse and Yaxley, sacrificing for the confidentiality of the magical world - yes, there are legal provisions to support it - sacrifice Some wizards—maybe they are underage wizards at this time, and they may be adult wizards in a while—are necessary and very reasonable!"

"Just like what our greatest enemy - yes, you should all be able to guess, is the man who must not even mention his name, you call him You-Know-Who, but actually he should be called Voldemort - does and preaches , what does it mean to sacrifice some half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards for the greater good, for the benefit of purebloods?"

"Thickness, Yaxley, you said... am I right?"

Xia Ran looked at the two people with livid faces with a smile.

The courtroom was extremely quiet for a moment.

No one spoke, and there was deathly silence. Everyone seemed to be frightened by Xia Ran's words, and stared at him blankly, a little at a loss.

"You...are talking nonsense!" Thicknesse scolded angrily, "We are officials of the Ministry of Magic and are responsible for maintaining the stability and peace of the magical world. How can we come together with the Dark Lord? Ridiculous, really ridiculous! "

"Really?" Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did I misunderstand you?"

"You are slandering!" Yaxley shouted loudly, "Xia Ran, I want to sue you for slander! Everyone was present and heard Xia Ran's slander against me and Thicknesse. This is jealousy!"

"Jealous...you guys?"

Xia Ran burst into laughter and said: "Jealous that you have become Voldemort's servant, but I can't? Or jealous that you can call Voldemort his master, but I can only call him by his first name?"

Harry couldn't help but tremble when he saw many wizards on the trial bench. Thicknesse and Yaxley also looked unnatural, and he felt very happy.

"Ahem..." Ms. Bones coughed twice and said, "Okay, Xia Ran, don't talk nonsense without evidence. We will then start the trial of Harry Potter for violating relevant legal provisions. A case of unauthorized use of magic.”

"Xia Ran said that the Dementors appeared in Little Whinging because Harry Potter and his cousin were attacked by Dementors and had to use the Patronus Charm when their lives were fatally threatened. Come and drive away the Dementors!" Yaxley said solemnly, "Evidence? Witnesses? Physical evidence? Nothing?!"

Thicknesse sneered and said: "Don't tell me that in addition to Harry Potter, his cousin named Dudley Dursley is also a witness. We have seen false testimony for relatives. Is it still missing? Everyone, I hope you can all calm down and think about it carefully, and don’t let Charan Fremont take the lead and disrupt your thoughts and judgment. "

"Of course there is a witness!" Xia Ran smiled, "But please wait a moment."

At that time, among the residents of Little Whinging, in addition to Harry and Dudley who saw Dementors, Mrs. Figg also saw Dementors. She was a squib and could not use magic, but she could still see many of them. Something that only wizards can witness.

Mrs. Figg should be brought to the Ministry of Magic by Dumbledore. The question is why it took so long for him to come to court?
