New Professor at Hogwarts

"Aunt Petunia, do you know Snape?" Harry asked Aunt Petunia urgently. He was eager to know what was going on behind the scenes.

Aunt Petunia hated magic so much that even after he went to Hogwarts, she treated him as if Hogwarts didn't exist. How did she actually know about Snape? Did he know it from his mother, or...

"No!" Aunt Petunia shook her head first, then hesitated and said, "Don't ask, your professor is here to pick you up, just leave quickly!"

"But aunt..." Harry wanted to continue asking.

"Okay, boy, didn't you hear what your aunt said? She told you to leave quickly!" Uncle Vernon said viciously, although he was also very confused in his heart.

Xia Ran drank all the water in the glass and said with a smile: "Mrs. Dursley, this is not a big deal. Your sister went to Hogwarts. You can't say that you don't know anything about the magical world. Understand? This is unrealistic. I remember Lily was not such a withdrawn person."

"Do you know Lily?" Aunt Petunia was suddenly startled and looked at Xia Ran with wide eyes.

"My parents know the Potters and have met them several times." Xia Ran shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile.

His deceased parents were also members of the Order of the Phoenix, so of course he would know the Potters, who were also members of the Order.

Aunt Petunia's fingers were tangled together. It seemed that Xia Ran's visit had awakened the dust-laden memories in her mind, and those emotions of happiness, unwillingness, anger, envy, and jealousy came up one by one.

When she was a child, she did know Severus Snape. They were neighbors, and Lily and Snape also knew each other in the same way. However, Petunia did not have the qualifications to become a wizard. After Lily received the letter from Hogwarts, She secretly sent a letter to Hogwarts in private, hoping that Dumbledore would admit her to Hogwarts, but Dumbledore declined.

It happened that Snape revealed this matter, which resulted in Petunia being greatly humiliated by Snape. Moreover, Lily also happened to see her letter. Petunia lost her face and was ridiculed, so she became Gotta start hating magic.

Later, because of magic, the Evans couple treated their younger daughter Lily Evans differently and inevitably neglected their eldest daughter. Although the Evans couple liked both daughters equally, magic was a novelty after all. No one can suppress their curiosity about things - this also makes Penny alienate her sister, either envious or jealous.

Especially after the death of Mr. and Mrs. Evans, the relationship between the two sisters was, to be honest, really average.

However, after Harry was sent to Privet Drive, she still did not refuse this responsibility. After all, he was her sister's child and adopted him. Although Harry's treatment was far less than that of Dudley, he still He grew up normally and even called this place home in his heart, otherwise the magic that Lily cast before she died would not be effective.

"Mr. and Mrs. Potter..." Vernon Dursley frowned and said, "That crazy boy? I remember... he seems to be living on relief?"

"Mr. Potter does not receive relief, and he is not crazy, but you two have nothing in common." Xia Ran spread her hands and said, "The circles of life are different, that's all. You don't adapt to the magical world, and most wizards don't adapt either. The Muggle world - especially pure-blood wizards."

"Uncle, do you know my dad?" Harry asked. He regretted asking the question later. How could Uncle Vernon not know his dad? He even remembered that his uncle had mentioned it when he was belittling his father when he was a child, and that his father had attended his uncle's and aunt's wedding.

"Nonsense!" Uncle Vernon glared at Harry, then waved his hand and said, "Boy, don't interrupt."

"Pure blood? You...what..." Vernon Dursley seemed to be recalling Xia Ran's name.

"Xiaran, Xiaran Fremont."

"Pure blood, what do you mean by pure blood? Do wizards still have mixed blood?" Vernon Dursley smiled sarcastically.

"There are differences in status between wizards. For example, Harry is a mixed-race wizard." Xia Ran said.

Aunt Petunia said uneasily: "Um, aren't you leaving? Professor Fremont... Professor, aren't you here to pick up Harry? Just leave as soon as you pick him up."

She urged Xia Ran, hoping that Xia Ran would lead Harry away from Privet Drive as soon as possible.

"Okay." Xia Ran said after looking at Penny who was feeling embarrassed, "I just hope that you guys will be a little nicer to Harry. After all, he is your sister's child, isn't he?"

Aunt Petunia's eyes suddenly widened.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Vernon Dursley blushed and said, "Are we treating him badly?" He turned to look at Harry and said viciously: "Boy, you are planning your aunt and uncle like this. ? We fed you, clothed you, and raised you without expecting anything in return. Is this how you discredit us?"

He made a move to pounce and catch Harry.

Harry quickly and nimbly dragged his suitcase and owl cage to the door.

"It's just my personal request. What kind of attitude you will have depends on your own thoughts. By the way, I can provide some help if necessary." Xia Ran smiled, "I am Hogg after all. Professor Watts.”

"Let's go, Harry."

Xia Ran said and smiled politely and exited the Dursley's living room.

The three people in the room seemed to be in a daze, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Harry, grab my arm." Xia Ran stretched out the crook of her left arm.

Harry's eyes lit up and he said, "Professor, do you want to take me to Apparate?"

"Hurry up while there is no one on the road at noon. It will be bad if Muggles see you." Xia Ran said, "By the way, hold on to your luggage and the owl."

Harry quickly grabbed the handle of the suitcase and the owl cage, and grabbed Xia Ran's elbow with the other hand. Suddenly his eyes blurred, and he felt like he was in a whirlpool. The next second Zhong then appeared in a familiar place again.

"The Burrow!"

Harry looked at the Burrow not far away with joy. This was one of his three favorite places, the other two being Hogwarts and Black Mansion.

"Harry? Mom, Harry is here, and Professor Frémont!" A red-haired girl at the door of the Burrow ran back into the house.

"Harry, let's go in." Sharon said, walking towards the Burrow.

"Oh, Harry, you have lost weight. Eat more today." Mrs. Weasley ran out of the kitchen, hugged Harry tightly, then looked at Xia Ran and said, "Thank you, Xia Ran." Of course, why don't you stay and have something to eat together? Arthur also hopes to come back and chat with you, and wants you to help persuade Percy. By the way, Bill and Charlie are back, but they are still driving in the backyard at this time. Goblin. Ginny, go get your brothers."

She gave Ginny one final command.

Ginny left the kitchen with a blushing face, and Harry pretended that he hadn't seen her.

"Sit wherever you want, as if you were at home, no need to be restrained." Mrs. Weasley said, returning to the kitchen, "The food will be ready soon, just wait a moment."

"There's no rush, Mrs. Weasley, although I'm here just waiting for a good meal." Xia Ran smiled.

At this time, several young people came into the backyard of the Burrow.
