New Professor at Hogwarts

"By the way, Xia Ran, I need you and other professors to inspect Hogwarts Castle." Dumbledore said, "I will join the inspection team later."

"Okay." Xia Ran nodded and left the ward.

Before he had gone far, he suddenly heard a very loud voice calling his name: "Xia Ran, Xia Ran!"

It was Rubeus Hagrid, the current gamekeeper at Hogwarts, who would not be taking up the post of Care of Magical Creatures professor until the next academic year.

"Hagrid, why are you here?" Xia Ran asked, "Ah, you also went to the Quidditch pitch to watch the game just now?" He saw Hagrid wearing gold and red clothes. The representative color of Fendo.

Hagrid has giant blood, so he is very tall. Even a tall person like Dumbledore looks shorter when standing in front of him, and Xia Ran is even shorter.

He and Hagrid had known each other since they were still students at Hogwarts.

Hagrid looked a little heavy and said, "Which student had an accident? I..."

"Keep your voice down, Hagrid!" Madam Pomfrey poked her head out of the school hospital and glared at Hagrid.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, Madam Pomfrey." Hagrid apologized quickly, looking a little embarrassed again. He also knew that he had made a mistake and shouted loudly in the school hospital.

Xia Ran said: "Let's go this way."

They turned a corner and came to a place far away from the school hospital.

"The victim was Colin Creevey, a Gryffindor student. I was about to inform other professors about patrolling the entire castle today." Xia Ran said as he walked.

Hagrid looked quite sad and said: "I recognize Colin. He was a very orthodox Gryffindor. It turned out that he was the one who was killed." He said with a firm look on his face and said: "I want to raise more roosters. Oh, that’s what the basilisk is afraid of.”

Xia Ran said: "It is better to find a way to completely solve the basilisk. Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will treat the symptoms but not the root cause. As long as the basilisk exists, Hogwarts will be in danger for one more day." But she thought in her heart that the entrance and exit of the secret room seemed to be In Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, fifty years ago when Voldemort was studying at Hogwarts, he discovered the secret of the Chamber of Secrets and released a basilisk to hurt people. Myrtle was the victim that time, and directly Being killed, not just petrified like Colin, there is still a lot of hope for healing.

But asking him to go down alone to kill the basilisk is no different from asking him to die.

If a person faces the basilisk, with his current level of magic power, without the help of an outsider - a powerful wizard or a powerful magical creature - he is really just going to die.

The reason why Harry was able to use Gryffindor's sword to kill the Basilisk in the original space and time was mainly because Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes blinded the Basilisk's eyes, leaving it without its most powerful weapon. Only then did he help Harry achieve this typical case of the weak defeating the strong.

After all, basilisk pupils can directly cause death!

He does not have the help of a powerful magical creature, the phoenix, but there are many powerful wizards in Hogwarts.

"Maybe I need to think of an excuse to tell Dumbledore this information." Xia Ran thought to himself that in order to keep his biggest secret - the identity of the time traveler - he would have to think carefully about how to reveal it in the future. The location of the secret room and help Ginny clear her suspicions, provided that the fuss cannot be too big, lest the fragment of Voldemort's soul manipulates the diary and escapes.

Riddle's diary noticed that something was not going well and probably went into hiding. In the end, without evidence, Ginny had to bear the blame. Even if she was lucky - because no one actually died, science Lin Creevey and Mrs. Norris are suffering from petrification symptoms that can be cured by potions. They will not enter Azkaban Prison, but they will be expelled from Hogwarts like Hagrid fifty years ago, but they will almost die. It's doomed.

And the diary was able to return to Ginny's desk after being torn into pieces by Ginny and rushed into the sewer. Now I am afraid that the fragments of Voldemort's soul have absorbed enough of Ginny's life force.

Ginny is the youngest daughter of the Weasley family. Xia Ran has a good relationship with the Weasleys - he is still a professor at Hogwarts - and of course she must ensure the safety of Ginny and expose Voldemort's conspiracy within her own power. He knew that Ginny was innocent. This series of events was all accomplished by Voldemort's soul fragment manipulating Ginny's body.

As for how to open the door to the secret room and how to kill the basilisk?

Harry is a Parseltongue and can open the door to the Chamber of Secrets. If he kills the Basilisk... he will find a way if he thinks about it later. After all, there are many powerful wizards in Hogwarts.

…

"Professor Fleamont, Hagrid, how is that student doing?" Suddenly I heard a voice ask, it was Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Professor Lockhart and him Walking together quickly.

Xia Ran shook her head and said: "The situation is not good. Like Mrs. Loris, she was petrified by the basilisk. Fortunately, there is a camera to block it."

"That's really a blessing among misfortunes." Professor Sprout patted his chest and said.

Professor Flitwick and Snape seemed to be slightly relieved.

Only Lockhart smiled brightly, showing his snow-white teeth, and said: "Don't worry, I have always regretted not being able to compete with the basilisk - you know, I have always been good at dealing with this kind of thing." A dark creature, I, Gilderoy Lockhart, a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class, and a five-time winner of "Wizard Weekly"..."

He was still bragging about himself, and several professors immediately glared at him. Lockhart smiled and had to stop the boastful words that he had not yet had time to say.

"Dumbledore needs us to patrol Hogwarts Castle, in groups of two or three, or in groups of three. When we encounter pipelines on the road, we must be careful and careful. It is very likely that basilisks are parading through the pipelines!" Xia Ran solemnly said He said, "By the way, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout, you may need to return to the common room of your respective colleges first. I have warned the students about the precautions and make sure that no student leaves. Common room.”

Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout nodded solemnly and returned to their respective colleges. They are the deans of the three major colleges.

"Hagrid, please team up with Professor Lockhart. You must be careful. I will go to the Gryffindor lounge." Xia Ran said, and he winked at Hagrid.

Hagrid immediately understood. In the past two months, almost all the teachers and students in the school have become fully aware of Lockhart's true ability. Xia Ran meant that he should pay more attention to himself. Don't think that Lockhart is a black magician. Defense Professor, but obviously, he is unreliable.

Lockhart said with a smile: "Professor Frémont, you can go with peace of mind. With me, Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class medalist in the Order of Merlin, the basilisk will not dare to appear in front of us."

Hagrid rolled his eyes behind him.

Xia Ran was speechless and rushed towards Gryffindor Tower. When he turned a corner, he could still hear Lockhart's chattering voice, telling Hagrid his "glorious deeds" - in fact, they were all other things. What the wizard experienced - didn't care whether Hagrid answered or not.
