New Professor at Hogwarts

"According to internal information, Fudge seems to be interested in attacking Gring, and wants to completely integrate the banking system into the Ministry of Magic." Bill Weasley said, "Those goblins' opinion of Fudge has dropped to freezing point. I heard some goblins say when chatting Since then, they have decided to join the mysterious man."

"Is he crazy?" Tonks asked in shock, "Gringotts has always been the territory of goblins. If this is taken away, won't the goblins rebel?"

"Who knows? Maybe this is the scene he wants to see?" Bill shrugged.

Xia Ran said decisively: "It seems that Fudge is not far away from going completely crazy. Our plan must speed up. Goblins will not easily join the war between wizards. We cannot sit back and watch Fudge push the goblins to join the dark wizard camp."

"Then let's put it in the first half of next year." Dumbledore said solemnly. Fudge's various actions and the current turbulent situation in the wizarding world also made him determined, "The plan will be launched then!"

Everyone discussed the precautions for a while. The public opinion offensive and the aftermath were all very important.

Because there was a Yule Ball at Hogwarts in the evening, Xia Ran, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Moody, after the meeting, apparated back to Hogwarts together.

At this moment, the sky is dark, dark clouds are piled up, and it seems like it will snow heavily.

"It looks like it's going to snow heavily tonight. Let's go back and change into a dress first. It would be too rude to wear such a dress to attend the ball." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Moody shook his head. He had no intention of attending the Yule Ball.

Xia Ran and Professor McGonagall will attend. To Xia Ran's expectation, Snape is also willing to attend the Yule Ball.

"I am the Headmaster, I cannot shirk it." Snape said with a gloomy expression.

Xia Ran shrugged and went back to the office to change into a dress. At this time, countless candles were lit in the castle. The lights were bright and people were coming and going. Both men and women tried their best to dress up in their best appearance.

When he arrived at the foyer, the place was already crowded with students, all milling around, waiting for eight o'clock to arrive, when the door to the auditorium would open. Some people wanted to meet their dance partners from other colleges, so they stood sideways in the hall. The crowd crowded around, looking for each other.

The faculty of Hogwarts are located in a corner. Except for Professor Moody, almost everyone has arrived. Even Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts Castle, is accompanying Mrs. Pince from the library, holding hands. They stood together and whispered.

Hagrid's figure was very conspicuous. He was looking around. Without asking, Xia Ran knew that he was looking for Beauxbatons' principal, Ms. Maxim.

"Xia Ran, good, very energetic." Professor Sprout praised. Xia Ran was wearing a blue dress with a high neckline. His hair was very short, and his face was not handsome and delicate, but he was very confident in his coordination. The temperament - powerful magic, self-confidence - but gives people a very amazing feeling.

"Sorry, Xia Ran, please give in. I have to gather the Hufflepuff students."

Professor Sprout said as he passed by Xia Ran. Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Snape were not here. Instead, they gathered the students from their own colleges and arranged them.

"Warriors please come here." Professor McGonagall shouted loudly.

Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang, Fleur Delacour and Roger Davis, and the most eye-catching Viktor Krum and Hermione Granger, I don’t know Many girls looked at Hermione with jealous eyes, extremely jealous that she had taken away Krum's dance partner position.

But Hermione's appearance changed so much today that it was difficult for her to say any humiliating words. Even when Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson passed by, they couldn't find a word to insult her at this moment. Hermione.

Hermione smiled a little nervously, took Krum's arm, and winked as she faced Harry.

Harry was shocked. He almost didn't recognize Hermione. Her previously messy brown hair was now smooth and shiny, and was pulled into an elegant bun on the back of her head.

She was wearing a robe made of flowing light purple-blue material, and somehow her aura was different - Harry guessed, perhaps because she had taken off the twenty-something clothes she usually carried on her body. This is a thick book.

"Hello, Harry," Hermione greeted. "Hello, Parvati."

Parvati was Harry's dance partner, but she looked at Hermione with undisguised suspicion. There were many people like her, especially those star-chasing girls who admired Krum and wanted to take out their wands. Come and kill Hermione.

"By the way, where's Ron?" Hermione asked.

Just as Harry was about to answer, he heard a cold snort and followed Ron and Padma into the great hall without looking back, as if he didn't even see Hermione beside him.

"What happened to him?" Hermione asked Harry confused.

"Well, he was in a bad mood. You know, that dress..." Harry replied randomly, but he didn't actually say that Ron's mood because of the dress had completely changed when he came to the hall. coming.

Harry carried Parvati into the auditorium. Different from the original time and space trajectory, this time he was not a warrior, so he did not have to wait outside. After all the teachers and students were seated, he finally entered with the other warriors. He could completely advance Go in and take a seat.

There was some regret in his heart.

The walls of the auditorium were covered with glittering silver frost, and the ceiling was a starry night sky, hung with hundreds of garlands of mistletoe sprigs and ivy.

The four academy tables were gone, replaced by a hundred small tables lit with lanterns, with about ten people sitting at each table.

He saw the situation at the guest of honor seat. Several judges were sitting in one position respectively, while Professor Frémont and other teachers were sitting at two tables on the other side. Many teachers were alone and had no dancing partners, such as Frémont. Professor Raymond.

Harry decided to go over later and ask about his situation.

At this time, Professor McGonagall called the warriors and their dance partners in, and everyone applauded warmly.

After the warriors started dancing - they were the protagonists of this dance - Harry said sorry to Parvati and then found Professor Frémont who was eating and drinking. .

"Professor, professor."

Xia Ran glanced at it and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Harry. What's wrong? You have a dance partner, so you don't have to just focus on eating and drinking like me."

Parvati seemed a little unhappy.

Harry said awkwardly: "Um, Professor, stop teasing me." Lian said seriously: "I came to you because I really have something important to do."

Xia Ran raised her eyebrows, put down her knife and fork, swallowed the food in her mouth, glanced around and said, "Let's go out, there are too many people here."

Ron followed at this time, while Hermione walked away with a sullen face. The two seemed to have had a quarrel.
