New Professor at Hogwarts

"If you don't have a wand, just stay in the manor. If anything happens, you can contact me through Floo. The fireplace in my office is already connected to the fireplace at home." Xia Ran said and warned again, "But Sirius, you must remember that you are still a wanted criminal by the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle world. Do not go out without authorization. It is easy for others to see through your disguise. If the Auror catches you, you will be It’s all bad.”

"I understand." Sirius nodded and said. He knew the priorities and was not a brainless idiot.

Even though he was often in a more impulsive and reckless state, after Xia Ran's persuasion, he restrained the boiling murderous intention in his heart and targeted Peter Pettigrew.

"Your wand..." Xia Ran suddenly frowned again.

Sirius spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "When I was arrested more than ten years ago, my wand was destroyed by the Ministry of Magic. No prisoner needs to use a wand. Otherwise, where would I end up after escaping from prison?" To such a situation?"

"We are wizards after all. Without a wand, we have tied our hands and feet. Even if you face a young wizard who has not graduated yet, Sirius, you are in great danger." Xia Ran frowned and said, "I'm behind you. I'll think of another way and get you an old wand."

He thought of the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts. Perhaps there should be some old wands there. Even if they were very awkward to use, in this situation, it would be a blessing for Sirius to have a wand to use. Where else could he use it? Want more?

"Okay, please, Xia Ran." Sirius said.

Now in the entire magical world, Xia Ran is the only one who believes in him, and Sirius is extremely grateful. Otherwise, he might have been kissed by a dementor and his soul was sucked away by the dementor, which would be completely the same as a dead person. .

In the past, his comrades-in-arms, including Dumbledore, Moody, Auror Kingsley, and the Weasleys, all believed that he was a despicable villain who betrayed the Order of the Phoenix, killed Harry's parents, and was willing to work as an undercover agent for Voldemort. If he appeared in front of them openly, there would be a high probability that he would be killed directly.

Even if he wasn't killed, the Dementors would definitely give him a kiss during his subsequent detention by the Ministry of Magic.

Sirius is not a person who is afraid of death. Although it cannot be said that he is completely unafraid of death, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It is just that Peter Pettigrew has not paid the price he should have paid for his betrayal and betrayal of Harry's parents. Pettigrew Peter's true identity has not yet been revealed, and Sirius is unwilling to die. He feels that he must kill Peter Pettigrew alive to avenge the Potters.

He believed that this was a major mistake he had made, otherwise the Potters would not have died.

Xia Ran gave Sirius a key to the manor, and immediately they both went to bed. Early the next morning, Xia Ran got up and packed her clothes, books and other items. Edsna's bird cage was cleaned, and he poured There was no rush to set off, he could just go directly to Hogwarts via the Floo Network. This time he didn't have to take the Hogwarts Express.

He remembered that Lupine would ride the Hogwarts Express and use the Patronus Charm for the first time in front of Harry and others.

But it wasn't a big deal, and Xia Ran wasn't interested in experiencing it again or witnessing it live.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xia Ran was ready to return to Hogwarts.

Pfft...

He twisted up a little floo powder and sprinkled it into the burning fireplace. With a pop, the red flames turned into green fireworks.

"Sirius, let's go first. Let me know if you have anything." Xia Ran said, picking up the suitcase and the owl, stepping into the green flames, shouting "Hogwarts", and a huge suction force instantly swallowed him up. When he could see things clearly again, he was back in his office at Hogwarts.

"Edsna, go." Xia Ran opened the owl cage, Edsna flew to the Owlhouse in Hogwarts, and he waved his wand and placed the suitcase.

Xia Ran took out a few large books. He borrowed them from Dumbledore when he left school. He had read them all during the long summer vacation. He just returned them to Dumbledore and borrowed a few more magic books. books.

He went up to the principal's office on the eighth floor and suddenly remembered that he had no password. He hugged a few large books and sighed, preparing to talk tomorrow.

The stone monster suddenly jumped aside, and an angry Professor McGonagall walked out quickly. She was also startled when she saw Xia Ran.

"Professor McGonagall, what are you doing?" Xia Ran asked in surprise. It was rare to see Professor McGonagall looking so angry.

"Dementors!" Professor McGonagall said in a disgusted tone, "The dementors are stationed outside Hogwarts, and they are also conducting so-called inspections on the express train. If they cause mental damage to the students, I will I really want to know how the Ministry of Magic will resolve this matter in the end?" Then he said sternly: "How can the Ministry of Magic allow dark creatures like dementors to come to Hogwarts?"

"Because of Sirius?" Xia Ran remembered that Dementors were also stationed at Hogwarts in the original time and space. The reason given by the Ministry of Magic was to protect the young wizards at Hogwarts from Sirius. In fact, more students were harmed by dementors, but fortunately there were no casualties.

The current Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, is really a mediocre leader, but he also has extremely strong self-confidence.

Xia Ran felt that ministers like Fudge should have resigned long ago.

"We have so many professors and teachers, are we still afraid of one Sirius? I'm going to talk to Poppy (Mrs. Pomfrey's name)." Professor McGonagall said and walked away angrily.

Xia Ran entered Dumbledore's office.

"Ah, Xia Ran, you are here. Have you returned the book?" Dumbledore was writing something with a quill pen and said, "Put it on the table first. Do you want to borrow a book? Go in and choose it yourself. I I have to finish this letter.”

"correct!"

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and clicked it, and a wall immediately moved to both sides. Inside were several large bookshelves filled with all kinds of magic books.

Xia Ran chose a few more books unceremoniously, and before leaving, he hesitated and said, "Dumbledore, what do you think about Sirius?"

"Sirius?" Dumbledore put down his quill and began to fold the letter, sighing, "I thought he was a very good wizard - of course, he is indeed good enough - but I didn't expect that, alas. !”

He sealed the letter, handed it to Phoenix Fawkes, and said, "Cornelly Fudge, Minister of Magic."

Snapped!

The phoenix cried softly, grabbed the envelope, turned into a flame and disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, see you at the opening ceremony." Xia Ran said and returned to his office on the fourth floor. It's not yet time for the opening ceremony. The Hogwarts Express has not arrived at the station yet, and it will probably take another hour or two. time.
