New Professor at Hogwarts

The content of Xia Ran's lecture quickly spread throughout Hogwarts. I don't know how many students prepared small things to record the crowing of roosters, and the first-year freshmen showed up in groups. They went to the classroom for lessons, went to the auditorium to eat together, and then returned to the common room together. They were afraid that if they were alone and were caught by the heir of Slytherin, they would be immediately killed by the basilisk summoned by the heir.

Even some professors secretly prepared magic items to record the crowing of roosters, so that when they unfortunately encountered a basilisk, they could use the crowing of roosters to escape.

This also led to the crowing of chickens in Hogwarts Castle. The "clucking" sound kept ringing for a long time, which made people very irritated. It seemed that people thought that this would avoid the appearance of the basilisk. Likewise, they forgot Xia Ran's warning that the crow could sometimes easily arouse the basilisk's resentment.

Regarding the candidate for Slytherin's heir, the young wizards have different opinions. Some speculate about Ravenclaw students, while others speculate about Gryffindor students. Of course, Slytherin students are still the most suspicious group, but it is Hufflepah. Strange students, no one would think that they are the heirs of Slytherin.

But what worries Harry, Hermione, and Ron is that Ginny seems to have been hit hard by this. She was very upset for a while. Ron kept trying to enlighten Ginny, but finally succeeded in getting her to Ni became more and more restless and frightened all the time.

"Ron!" Percy said angrily, "Ginny is worried and crying because of you, but you still have the guts to make a joke here??"

"I told you, I didn't lift a finger against that cat!" Ron said equally annoyed.

"I told Ginny the same thing, but she didn't seem to believe it. She still thought that you might be expelled from school and was worried and sad about it." Percy said, "You'd better be calm in the future and don't let Ginny do it again." Ni is worried about you!"

Ron's ears turned red and he yelled: "I think you are worried that I will affect your future of competing for the Boys' Student Union President, right?"

"Five points from Gryffindor!" Percy's ears were also red, just like Ron's. "Be careful in the future. Don't run around when the night comes. You'll get caught two or three times." Yeah, you can’t defend yourself!”

He passed Ron, as if he didn't see Harry and Hermione beside him, and went straight back to Gryffindor Tower.

If Xia Ran knew about the quarrel between the two brothers, she would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry.

The reason why Ginny was so upset was mainly because she had a period of amnesia. She couldn't remember what she did during that period, just like she was away for a period of time during the Halloween party, and then She then heard the news that Mrs. Norris had been attacked.

She thought she had opened the secret room and released the basilisk, a terrifying dark creature, which caused panic inside the castle. She knew that her diary was a legendary special magic item, and she tried tearing the diary into pieces and flushing it into the sewer. , but it was of no use. Early the next morning, she saw the intact diary on her desk.

Ginny almost collapsed because of this. She didn't dare to tell anyone about it. She was afraid that others would think that she had opened the secret room. She also felt that she had done it. She could only hide it in the secret room. From the bottom of my heart, I don’t tell anyone, including my brothers.

Xia Ran knew about Ginny's situation, but in order to clear up Ginny's grievances, clarify that she was not the heir, and completely solve the secret room incident and the terrifying dark creature basilisk, he could not take action in advance or explain the situation to Ginny.

Ginny is a little witch who can be controlled by Voldemort at any time. If the fragment of Voldemort's soul notices something is wrong and hides it secretly, or hides it in other students' schoolbags, there is nothing he can do about it. The release of Riddle's diary means that the location of the secret room cannot be determined, and Ginny will always carry this blame and will never be able to take it off.

He had to pay more attention to Ginny to prevent Voldemort from jumping over the wall. He was completely different from the progress of things in the original time and space, and revealed the information about the existence of the basilisk in advance, which may make Voldemort less patient.

Unfortunately, Ginny was only a first-year student and would not attend his combat class. He could not see Ginny often to confirm her condition at all times.

Xia Ran had to give Percy a hint, hoping that he would take more care of her little sister, especially during this tense period recently.

"Don't worry, Professor Frémont, Ginny is my sister, I will definitely take good care of her." Percy said, patting his chest.

Xia Ran trusted Percy. Although he was a person with a strong sense of power, Percy would never be careless when it came to the safety of his family. Although he had the power in his hands, he finally came to his senses and stood in the same camp as his family. Moreover, he had not graduated yet, and his desire for power was not so strong that it temporarily blinded his soul.

Percy left Xia Ran's office with his chest held high and his head raised. He felt that he had received a lot of trust and trust from the professor. Furthermore, he cared very much about Ginny. After all, she was his youngest sister. Such a killing two birds with one stone. , how could he refuse Xia Ran's proposal?

"I hope it will be useful." Xia Ran shook her head and sighed.

In this way, almost a month passed quickly. During this period, the basilisk attack did not happen again. It seemed that it was just that night when Mrs. Norris came out and took a look. People's fear slowly subsided. It has become less frightening, and it is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning, but there are still some students who are worried, mainly Muggle wizards and mixed-blood wizards.

In this rather weird atmosphere, Hogwarts ushered in the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

On Saturday morning, while Xia Ran was still eating breakfast and reading books on spells in the office, Professor McGonagall and Snape found him.

"Please take a seat, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape." Xia Ran waved her wand and conjured two soft-backed chairs for the two professors.

"No, Xia Ran."

Professor McGonagall said straight to the point the reason for their visit: "As you know, today is the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Professor Snape and I hope that Frémont will be there just in case." Professor, you should also go to the Quidditch pitch, after all, you are the combat professor."

Snape nodded slightly.

They were indeed worried that the students would gather together today and the commotion would be too loud, which would lead to the basilisk. If any of so many students were injured or killed, they would be heartbroken.

The other professors are not the deans of the two colleges, nor are they responsible for fighting or resisting black magic. Everyone knows about Lockhart's situation. After all, only Xia Ran can choose.
