New Professor at Hogwarts

"Severus?" Dumbledore's eyes changed slightly.

Snape was silent and nodded slightly.

Percy looked confused, but Xia Ran reacted immediately, especially Snape's slight shaking of his left hand, which was the location of his Dark Mark.

"Did Voldemort summon his Death Eaters?" Xia Ran secretly thought. Snape used to be a Death Eater, and later negotiated with Dumbledore to continue to hide among the Death Eaters as a spy. If Voldemort summoned As a Death Eater, Snape would definitely feel it - after all, he still had the Dark Mark on his body - and he had to rush to the place where Voldemort held the meeting.

However, what was slightly beyond Xia Ran's expectation was that shortly after Voldemort was resurrected in the original time and space, he summoned the Death Eaters through Wormtail's Dark Mark. This time, he failed to pass through Barty Crouch Jr.'s Dark Mark. The Mark informed all Death Eaters that their Dark Lord was back. Instead, it was only now that the Dark Mark was activated to inform all Death Eaters—or former Death Eaters—that their leader was back!

"Severus." Dumbledore looked at Snape worriedly and said, "You know what I am going to tell you to do. If you are okay with it...if you are ready..."

"No problem." Snape replied, but his face was obviously paler and gloomier than usual, and his cold black eyes shone with a strange light.

"Well, good luck to you," said Dumbledore, with a worried look on his face as he watched Snape leave the Headmaster's office through the spiral staircase.

Xia Ran watched Snape leave with emotion in her eyes.

Percy was still confused and said, "Professor, then I..."

"You may have to wait for a while, but Professor Snape will concentrate on teaching you. I hope you will study well with Professor Snape. He knows a lot of knowledge." Dumbledore said softly, "There is no one else except the four of us in this matter. Don't tell anyone except yourself, including Arthur and Molly."

"Um, okay...okay," Percy replied.

"Okay, let's go down. I think all students should know a fact. I must tell them." Dumbledore said and walked out of the principal's office first.

"Let's go." Sharon said, and Percy followed Dumbledore to the Great Hall.

At this time, the auditorium was almost full of people. All the exams were completed. The students laughed wildly and seemed particularly relaxed. The professors were worried about other things, not to mention that this was not a bad thing. The exams were completed. Well, and another major event happened in the wizarding world - Voldemort was truly resurrected and made a comeback! ——Let them have fun and relax for a while. It doesn't matter, so let the students go.

The professors looked solemn and lowered their voices to whisper from time to time.

Xia Ran sat down in her seat. On one side, Professor Lupine was still discussing with Professor Flitwick in a low voice, with worried expressions on their faces. On the other side was Professor Trelawney. Her frown also said a lot. .

"Dumbledore... vicious accusation..." Professor Trelawney seemed to be mumbling something, but Xia Ran didn't hear it clearly.

"What's wrong, Professor Trelawney?" So Xia Ran asked directly.

"Oh, it's nothing." Professor Trelawney said in an airy voice, while tugging on her shawl and the many strings of shining beads. She seemed to be unable to hold it in anymore, and couldn't help but whisper, "Dumbledore Lido, that person... I admit that he is the strongest white wizard today and is respected by many people, but can't he respect me? Oh, I understand, he must think that I did not inherit my great-grandmother's legacy Talent, these rumors have been spread for years by people who are jealous of me.”

"Um, really?" Xia Ran smiled awkwardly. Speaking of which, he believed Professor Trelawney's predictions. After all, she did make many predictions in the original time and space.

"Dumbledore doesn't believe in divination. I've always known this. When I was interviewed at the Pig's Head Bar - you know, Xia Ran, I didn't have a job at that time and my funds were tight. Of course I wouldn't recommend the Pig's Head Bar to anyone else. Go, there are bedbugs - I can tell, he doesn't like divination." Professor Trelawney still muttered in a low voice, "But he was still very polite and came to visit me in the hotel in person, maybe Now he is too lazy to pretend like this anymore..."

"...The third eye never pays attention to things in the human world! That is not an area worthy of our energy!"

Professor Trelawney said with mock disdain.

Xia Ran knew what happened when Professor Trelawney was interviewing for the Divination class. In the Pig's Head Bar - a hotel owned by Dumbledore's brother Aberforth - Professor Trelawney made the most famous move in the wizarding world at that time. The prophecy, the prophecy about Harry and Voldemort, was overheard by Snape, which also led to the subsequent deaths of the Potters and Snape's change of heart and willingness to be an undercover agent.

It can be said that that prophecy was the beginning of the current situation in the magic world!

"Dumbledore didn't want me to leave Hogwarts. I wanted to go home during the holidays, but Dumbledore rejected him directly. I originally just informed him and didn't ask for his opinion. He How could..." Professor Trelawney whispered angrily.

On this point, Xia Ran was on Dumbledore's side. The famous prophecy was made by Professor Trelawney and informed to Dumbledore. This was a fact that even Voldemort knew.

What Voldemort once knew from Snape was only the first half of the prophecy, so after Voldemort fell last time, he knew that he had made a mistake, and he had been eager to hear the complete prophecy!

In the original time and space, he even went into hibernation for a year for this purpose, and in turn used the bond between Harry and him to mislead Harry, sneak into the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, and help him steal the prophecy ball.

The prophecy ball can only be taken out of the Department of Mysteries by those who are related to the prophecy.

But that was Professor Trelawney's helpless move because he never left Hogwarts. After all, there were only two people who knew the prophecy - Snape only overheard half of the prophecy - one was the one who made the prophecy. People: Professor Trelawney, one is the person who listens to the prophecy: Dumbledore, and the prophecy ball that records the prophecy.

He didn't want to deal with Dumbledore directly so early, and he couldn't get into Hogwarts for the time being. So if he wanted to know the complete prophecy, the only way left was to use the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

But if Professor Trelawney takes the initiative to leave Hogwarts, Voldemort will never let go of such a golden opportunity. Professor Trelawney will encounter countless dangers, and she will probably not be able to come back. .

Dumbledore's disapproval of her leaving school was actually due to Professor Sybill Trelawney's consideration, and not due to distrust of prophecies or discrimination against divination.
