New Professor at Hogwarts

"Ah!!!" An extremely shrill scream broke the early morning silence of Hogwarts. Xia Ran suddenly woke up completely. He then heard many rapid footsteps coming from the corridor, as well as students. A murmur of suppressed fear.

"There was another attack? Why so fast?"

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got up. He quickly got dressed, washed his face casually, and ran out of the office with his wand.

The fourth floor he was on was also crowded with students, but the location of the attack was probably on the third floor, so he had to squeeze through the students. Fortunately, he was a professor, and the students tried their best to give him a path that could only allow one person to pass. the way.

Finally, he came to the third floor and saw a ghost floating stiffly in the air. There were three students lying down under him, who were also extremely stiff, staring straight into the void in front of them.

Xia Ran was surprised. Why did four victims appear this time? ?

"The ghosts of Gryffindor, Nearly Headless Nick and Hermione Granger, the students of Hufflepuff, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and the prefect of Ravenclaw, Penelope Crevat, these are There were four victims at once?!”

"Is the heir of Slytherin so arrogant?"

"It's Harry Potter, he's the first discoverer! He's the perpetrator!"

The little wizards couldn't help but talk about it. Professor McGonagall also came to the attack site and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Don't block the way to the school hospital!"

Wow——

The little wizards immediately made way for them, and several professors carried Hermione, Penelope, and Justin to the campus hospital. They were helpless about the ghost of Nick, who was almost headless in the end.

Professor McGonagall used her wand to conjure a large fan, and asked a student to fan Nick, who was almost headless. He went to the school hospital with the previous professors and asked Madam Pomfrey to take care of these unfortunate victims.

Finally, Professor McGonagall focused her attention on Harry Potter.

"Potter, are you the first discoverer? I need you to tell us everything you know." Professor McGonagall said seriously.

Harry looked very nervous and said: "Professor, I swear I didn't... I don't know who did it... No, I know it was done by the basilisk, but I don't know who was behind it, that basilisk." Who is Lytlin’s heir?”

"Harry, why did you come here? Did you see anything when you came?" Xia Ran asked directly, saying that the situation now is quite different from the original time and space. Originally, the third basilisk attack was not going to happen. It should have come so early, and there shouldn't be four victims, but the situation is here, and there is no way to fake it. It is very likely that because of the revelation of the basilisk, Riddle's diary became more vicious.

He felt that he could not delay any longer and must report to Dumbledore immediately, go into the secret room to kill the basilisk, seize Riddle's diary, and destroy it together!

But the questions that need to be asked now still need to be asked, in order to understand how the situation has changed.

Harry hurriedly said: "Professor, I just heard a voice - you know I am a Parselmouth - and I wanted to come over to see what was going on. As a result, I met Hermione and the others, but they stopped before I arrived. He has been killed, I swear - I will never hurt Hermione again, right?"

He hurriedly explained himself.

"Ha, what a clever way to petrify our Miss Granger, so naturally we won't think you are the murderer." Snape stared at Harry with his eyes fixed on him.

Harry immediately glared at Snape.

Snape and Harry looked at each other for a moment, and he looked away at those green eyes first.

"It seems that it is no longer safe for ghosts to escort students, and neither are ghosts." Professor Sprout said. The almost headless Nick was petrified, which really shocked all the teachers and students. Even the ghost who had died once could not Resist the basilisk's gaze? ?

People's eyes were full of horror.

Yes, how could a ghost be petrified? How could the basilisk do this? They simply couldn't imagine that if they were unfortunate enough to encounter a basilisk, they would be as lucky as these wizards. By some chance, there would always be water damage, cameras, and ghosts to stop the disaster for them, and they could survive for the time being. ——There is always hope for a cure for petrification, but if you look directly into the basilisk's pupils, you will die on the spot, with no chance of cure!

"Professor, I really didn't..." Harry couldn't help but defend himself.

"Okay, Harry, I believe you." Xia Ran nodded and said. Harry was immediately pleasantly surprised, and most of the panic in his heart dissipated, but finally a teacher believed in him.

Snape seemed to scoff.

Xia Ran said: "Professors, I think it would be better to send the students to the common room first, and then we will take Harry to see the principal." After a brief pause, he continued: "If the basilisk comes back, It would be too dangerous for students to stay here."

Several professors agreed to Xia Ran's suggestion and each brought a college student back to the common room. Harry stayed there with Xia Ran, looking quite uneasy.

Xia Ran didn't pay much attention. He looked at the Gryffindor student team and saw several red-haired heads, but the smallest girl's head was missing. He felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Harry, have you seen Ginny?" Charlotte asked.

Harry, who had been in panic all the time, was stunned when he suddenly heard Professor Frémont asking him this. Although he didn't understand what Professor Frémont was asking Ginny for, he still replied: "I just saw him in the lounge. Ginny is here, I haven't seen her in a while."

"Gone??" Xia Ran's expression changed and she said, "Quick, follow me to the principal's office!"

Harry saw that Professor Frémont's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. Even when he saw Hermione and the four victims, he was not so solemn before. Could something have happened to Ginny?

Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help but ask: "Professor Frémont, could it be that Ginny..."

"Wait until we get to Dumbledore's office." Xia Ran interrupted Harry. He thought that the fragment of Voldemort's soul might have sensed something was wrong, and manipulated Ginny to open the secret room this morning, releasing the basilisk, causing Hermione to , Penelope, Justin and the almost headless Nick were petrified, Ginny may be in danger.

Xia Ran said in her heart that she must inform Dumbledore immediately and bring his phoenix - Xia Ran had no confidence in defeating the basilisk, especially when facing the basilisk, she had to close her eyes tightly and could only rely on hearing and hearing. It felt like I had tied my hands to fight the basilisk - rushing to the secret room, I should still have time to rescue Ginny. Riddle's diary didn't pay much attention to Ginny. The person he paid attention to was Harry Potter. , and Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"I hope it's not too late!"
