New Professor at Hogwarts

The next day, Xia Ran came to the auditorium for dinner, and happened to meet Hagrid holding a dead polecat in his hand and striding towards the staff table, with a smile on his face all the time.

"Hi, Hagrid, good morning." Harry, Ron, and Hermione greeted him at the Gryffindor table.

"How about you, too." Hagrid stopped walking to the staff table and said enthusiastically, "You guys are here to take my first class, and you'll start right after lunch! I got up at five o'clock in the morning. I have prepared everything... Ah, I really hope that the first class goes well, it will be very interesting... I finally became a teacher... It's really... My dad knows You will definitely be very happy!”

Hagrid was a little incoherent at the end, but he was still smiling happily.

Xia Ran saw that the expressions of Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned into worry. Hagrid was often different from ordinary people in his perception of what was interesting.

Xia Ran decided to remind Hagrid and stopped him.

"What's wrong? Xia Ran." Hagrid was confused, holding the dead polecat in one hand.

Xia Ran asked in a low voice: "Hagrid, you didn't prepare any dangerous creatures for the first class, right?"

"Oh, no, of course not, Xia Ran, that is a very interesting guy, not dangerous at all." Hagrid said immediately.

Well, when Hagrid said this, Xia Ran felt that the hippogriff in the original space and time might still be the content of his first lesson.

It's not that the Hippogriff is dangerous - it does seem to be not easy to get close to - but the first lesson should be more conservative, especially for students like Hagrid who are easy to be fooled by Slytherin House. Targeted teachers.

"I don't know much about Care of Magical Creatures, but I am also a teacher. I think as your first class, you should be more conservative. A good-looking magical creature with no attack power may be a relatively better one. Choose." Xia Ran reminded.

Hagrid patted Xia Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xia Ran, I'm ready. There will definitely be no problem."

He said as he grabbed a few pieces of pumpkin pie and left the auditorium carrying the dead polecat.

Xia Ran felt that Hagrid didn't listen at all, but he couldn't control that much. Anyway, with Dumbledore here, even if there was a problem, he could almost solve it.

Xia Ran's first class this semester is to teach fifth-grade students. Because she is facing the pressure of the O.W.Ls exam, not only the students have a heavy academic workload, but the teachers also have to put more effort into it.

O.W.Ls is the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, an exam that fifth-year students must take at the end of the semester. This is related to their choice of courses in sixth and seventh grade, and will further affect their future jobs.

After all, many jobs require qualification certificates. In the past, Xia Ran was unable to become an Auror because she lacked relevant qualification certificates, so she wanted to become a professor at Hogwarts.

As for various more advanced spells and countermeasures, Xia Ran began to teach the young wizards.

The students immediately complained, especially Fred and George the loudest: "Professor, do you need to be so strict? Just pass."

This class happened to be held by fifth-year students from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

Xia Ran glanced at the classroom and saw that most people had this mentality. She immediately darkened her face and said seriously: "If you want to pass the O.W.Ls exam next June, you must get the best results in daily classes. At least good grades, otherwise I will regretfully reject your application in sixth grade."

The little wizards had no choice but to endure and practice obstacle spells and armor spells. Xia Ran taught spells that were more focused on defense, restraint, and obstruction. Offensive spells were for the next semester.

And how to deal with these spells, what are the undoing and counter-spells, he has to leave it to the young wizards, and let them use them in actual combat. In just two semesters, to be honest, the teaching tasks are indeed heavy.

Harry and other third-year students will come to combat class tomorrow.

Xia Ran was also thinking about how to obtain several special magic items containing Force points in the school, but she had no clue yet.

He also almost forgot to get Sirius an old wand.

So after class, Xia Ran went directly to the eighth floor and walked back and forth three times outside the Room of Requirement, meditating that I need a place with a magic wand. After he opened the door and entered, he saw a man with various skills. Although most of the wand-like rooms are old and unusable, a few are still barely usable.

He chose a wand that looked relatively intact, hid it in his pocket, and left the Room of Requirement.

"Xia Ran, what's wrong?" Sirius was wandering around the kitchen. He was hungry at noon.

Xia Ran threw the old wand on the floor of the living room of Fremont Manor and said, "No, an old wand may not be suitable for you, but make do with it."

Sirius came over, picked up the wand, and waved it casually. A few sparks came out from the tip of the wand. He smiled happily: "Thank you, Xia Ran. I haven't touched the wand in more than ten years. It's been a long time." Feel."

He looked very excited.

The two chatted for a few more words, mainly about how to target Peter Pettigrew. Xia Ran raised her head from the fireplace again, returned to her desk and sat down, enjoying the delicious food cooked by the house elves.

He had just seen that Sirius's cooking skills were really not very good, and it smelled like burnt food.

******

When Xia Ran was in class in the afternoon, she heard the students in the classroom mention what happened in the Care of Magical Creatures class. It seemed that a student from Slytherin College was injured, which led to their disapproval of Hagrid as the teacher of the Care of Magical Creatures class. Questions and concerns.

"Do you think Hagrid has violent tendencies? Otherwise, why would a student be injured in the first class?"

"Perhaps he wants to give the students a blow?"

The little wizards were talking a lot before Xia Ran arrived, and all kinds of weird speculations came out.

"Ahem..." After Xia Ran walked into the classroom, she coughed twice, and the little wizards immediately shut their mouths.

Xia Ran said softly: "Hagrid has no violent tendencies. As for showing off his power? A teacher would not do such a thing. Well, instead of discussing how other teachers teach, why not let me see how you practiced during the summer vacation? How is your mastery of spells?"

"Digory, is there any other student who is willing to volunteer to cooperate with Mr. Diggory's demonstration?"

Xia Ran looked at the whole class, and almost all the girls raised their hands.

Cedric Diggory has always been a very popular little wizard among the girls in the school. He is handsome, has a good temper, and his academic performance is not bad.

In the Goblet of Fire next year in the original time and space, Cedric Diggory was the real warrior of Hogwarts, and Harry was deliberately thrown into it by Barty Crouch Jr., a Death Eater disguised as Moody. .
