New Professor at Hogwarts

"You mean..." Hermione looked up at Harry's lightning scar and whispered, "This scar has some special ability... um, a channel?"

"I guess so." Harry scratched his head and said, "I'm not sure, but recently, when the mysterious person's mood fluctuates violently, I can always see some scenes, like... It’s like I was there at that time.”

Ron looked at Harry blankly and suddenly said: "Harry, I think... you should go to the hospital..."

"Don't you believe me, Ron?" Harry said angrily.

"Of course..." Ron said without thinking. He immediately saw Harry's angry expression and changed his words, "Of course I believe you, man. How could I not believe you? It's just... we don't know anything about the mysterious man. , otherwise, you should ask the professor, Professor McGonagall, Professor Moody or Professor Frémont?"

Hermione also interjected: "Yes, let's ask the professors first to see if they know anything. Anyway, they must know more than us."

Harry thought so and nodded.

But to everyone's surprise, they searched around and found no trace of the professors, and no one was in the office.

"Where did they go?" The trio was very confused. Since it was almost noon, they simply went to have lunch, and then went out to have a snowball fight with Fred, George, Ginny, and Neville in the snowy square.

They didn't know that the Hogwarts professors who had joined the Order of the Phoenix, including Dumbledore himself, had all arrived at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Arthur, are you okay?" When Mrs. Weasley arrived, she was frightened when she saw Mr. Weasley's face was pale, looking very tired and weak.

Mr. Weasley smiled and said: "It's okay, Molly, everything has recovered. If you rest for a while, you will be fully recovered."

"I was really scared when I received the news last night, but because of the confidentiality, I can only come over this morning, oh, Arthur..." Mrs. Weasley said and hugged Mr. Weasley.

"By the way, thank you, Xia Ran." Mrs. Weasley said gratefully, "And Sirius and Alastor, thank you."

Xia Ran waved her hand casually, chuckled and said: "Eat something, Mrs. Weasley, everything is fine, don't worry. We won't take action easily if we are not certain about something that is too dangerous." She explained.

"Ah, Professor Snape is here. The potion is here."

When Xia Ran looked up, she saw Snape walking into the kitchen. He was wearing a big black robe, his face was gloomy, and his hair looked like it hadn't been washed for many days. He took out three bottles of magic potion from his robe. , placed it on the table, and said concisely: "Swelling agent, bone-growing spirit and wolfsbane potion."

"Severus, thank you." Lupine thanked him sincerely and took away the Wolfsbane potion. He had to make plans for his next transformation, after all, the originally prepared Wolfsbane potion had been used up.

Sirius pretended not to notice, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

Kingsley took away the bone spirit and grinned: "I took a magic spell yesterday and lost a bone. I feel better today."

Tonks grabbed the anti-swelling agent and applied it directly to her ankles. She had been walking with a limp today.

Yesterday, several people broke into the Ministry of Magic. Lupine, Mr. Weasley, Kingsley, and Tonks were captured and suffered some trauma. Therefore, Charran asked Professor Snape to bring some prepared magic today. medicine.

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Professor Snape, I think you can write a book and talk about it. It will definitely sell well all over the world. Anyone who is interested in potions will not miss your book."

Snape's mouth moved and he replied: "Forget it, it's such a waste of time."

Xia Ranxin said that when you were young, you dared to directly modify textbooks and called yourself the "Half-Blood Prince". Now that you are a potions professor, you are still unwilling to write a book? !

But this was Snape's choice, and it was entirely up to him.

"If you really want to publish a work, give it a nicer name." Xia Ran said casually.

Snape glanced at Xia Ran suspiciously, always feeling that he meant something.

At this time, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall also arrived. The kitchen was basically full and crowded, and everyone had a cup in front of them.

Dumbledore raised his glass first and said with a smile, "I wish you all a Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas!"

After a glass of wine, the meeting quickly got down to business.

"Severus, what was Voldemort's reaction?" Dumbledore asked.

Snape replied: "Very angry! The mysterious man was very angry, but the main target was Antonin Dolohov. He was defeated and captured by Xia Ran, which caused the other four prisoners to be exchanged."

Lupine, Mr. Weasley, Kingsley, and Tonks all looked slightly unnatural. They were what Snape called "prisoners."

"Does he realize it?" Dumbledore asked again.

"Realized," Snape replied.

"That's good." Dumbledore nodded, turned to look at Moody, and said, "Alastor, I need you to cover the back."

Moody nodded silently, he also understood Dumbledore's plan.

"Sorry, Dumbledore, what are you talking about?" Sirius asked with a frown. Except for Sharon, Snape, Moody and Professor McGonagall, everyone else looked blank and confused, not knowing Dumbledore's plan.

Snape especially knew that it made Sirius very uncomfortable.

"You will know later. It is not yet time to make it public." Dumbledore replied. In fact, this is about Harry. They want to sharpen Harry so that he can face death and have the spirit of sacrifice, so that he can But there is a glimmer of hope.

And Sirius couldn't let Sirius know about this matter. With his temperament, he might end up causing countless troubles.

Besides, the fewer people know about this, the better!

"How has the Ministry of Magic reacted, Shacklebolt?" Dumbledore asked again, temporarily ignoring the dissatisfied Sirius.

Kingsley replied: "Fudge was also very angry, but he also ordered all officials to strictly refrain from talking about this matter, and to treat it as if the battle in the Department of Mysteries had never happened."

"Ha!" Bill Weasley sneered, "That's very Fudge style!"

Bill originally worked at Gringotts in Egypt, but has now been transferred back to Gringotts in England. He has also begun to participate in the work of the Order of the Phoenix and often lives in the humble home.

Charlie didn't come back. He believed that the Order of the Phoenix also needed members abroad, and for the work of raising dragons, Romania was the only one in Europe that had dragon farms.

He doesn't want to give up his beloved dragon training career!

Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "What, Fudge interfered with Gringotts?"

Judging from Bill's appearance, it was obvious that the target was not aimless. It was determined that Fudge had announced some order, and it probably affected the Gringotts banking industry.
