New Professor at Hogwarts

"Not bad." Xia Ran praised, "Those magic spells are usually learned by senior students in fifth grade and above. They will be tested in the two wizard magic level exams. You can come into contact with these magics during the fourth grade period. , To be honest, I am already quite anxious."

Harry and Ron smiled awkwardly and scratched their heads.

"You two haven't practiced in private?" Xia Ran said with a half-smile, "Magic still requires more practice to become proficient. Memorizing the definitions and principles is of little use."

"Don't worry, Professor Frémont, we will work hard." Harry nodded.

"Just know it well." Xia Ran said, "Today is a new course... Well, I can't say a new course, I can only say a new kind of magic."

"What is it, Professor?" Hermione asked curiously.

Xia Ran whispered: "Soul magic."

"Soul type?" The three of them were stunned and looked at each other, feeling confused.

Is there this type of magic in the world?

In fact, this is Xia Ran's goal. Harry is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and his body contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul. If that fragment of soul is not destroyed, Voldemort cannot be completely killed!

And if he wanted to destroy that soul fragment and save Harry's life at the same time, Voldemort must take action himself and rely on a special connection to destroy the fragment of his own soul without harming Harry.

Sharon, Dumbledore, and Snape definitely still hope to save Harry's life.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more appropriate to take action on a random person and kill Harry directly? When the host dies, the soul fragments that are attached to the host's survival naturally disappear.

The reason why this kind of tutoring is led by Xia Ran and Snape is mainly because Dumbledore is too afraid of Voldemort, and now Voldemort may have realized this special connection between him and Harry. Dumbledore believes that It would be better for him to have less contact with Harry.

"First of all, let me ask a question." Xia Ran said softly, "Who among you three can tell you the definition of soul? Or, in your opinion, what kind of thing or thing is soul?"

He looked at the three students who came to make up classes.

Hermione didn't raise her hand immediately this time, and she hesitated because she didn't find any books about souls in the library.

In fact, Xia Ran wanted to say that there were still some books decades ago, such as a book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", which involved souls and roughly recorded the extremely evil black magic of Horcruxes, but since Tom Riddle After the book came up with the idea of ​​making a Horcrux - and later he put it into action, when Tom Riddle was a student, he also had the nickname "Voldemort", although it was only spread in a small area - Dumbledore So he took away some of the more esoteric books in the library, as well as those that involved too much black magic, and hid them in the principal's room, and no longer allowed students to borrow them easily.

If the teacher and professor are interested, they can tell Dumbledore personally that he usually doesn't get stuck. For example, Xia Ran once browsed through almost the entire principal's office library.

Ron opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Only Harry seemed to have something in mind.

"Harry, tell me." Xia Ran named him.

"Professor, Dementors... Dementors were stationed at the school in the third grade. At that time... well, as you all know, I fainted." Harry still felt embarrassed when he mentioned that incident. Fortunately, there was no such thing here. Everyone else was familiar, which made him feel at ease.

"I saw... or rather heard, the scene of my parents' death, and the mysterious man, with his crazy laughter, telling my mother to get out of the way and not block his way, he wanted to kill me!" Harry He whispered, "My mother blocked him and begged him to let me go, and finally the mysterious man killed her."

Ron and Hermione glanced at Harry uneasily.

"I was only one year old at that time, maybe less than one year old." Harry said in a very low voice, "I think that was a scene that was engraved deep in my soul and made me never forget my parents. He died for me!"

Xia Ranxin said that it was just your own memory, but you were too young at the time and had no memory. Without external help, it would be impossible to recall it.

"The soul is different from memory." Xia Ran said with a slight hesitation, "Actually, the existence form of soul and memory itself cannot be thoroughly verified by Yan Ming..."

"Forget it, let's not go through the examination. That's not something we should consider."

Xia Ran waved her hand and said: "The soul is very different from the body. It is both virtual and real. In fact, what you see every day is inseparable from the soul."

"See it every day?" The three of them were stunned, why didn't we know?

Ron's mind suddenly changed and he shouted out loud: "Ghost?!"

"Yes, ghost." Xia Ran said, "The form of ghost existence is between life and death. It neither belongs to our world of the living nor the world of the dead, but they cannot be said to be pure souls."

"The soul should belong to the world of the dead."

"Actually, there is a magic that I have taught you, and it has been involved in this aspect."

Xia Ran looked at the three of them with a smile and asked, "Tell me, what kind of magic is that?"

A name flashed in Harry's mind and he asked tentatively: "Patronus Charm?"

"Yes, the Patron Saint Spell relies on the wizard's own happy memory as the source of power. This is actually a special kind of soul magic." Xia Ran said, "But in addition, there are two more common ones... …No, I can’t say it’s more common, but it’s more magic that fits this definition.”

"One is called Legilimency and the other is called Occlumency."

"Did Professor Snape teach you?" he asked at last.

Hermione replied: "Legilimency has never been taught, but Occlumency has, but none of us have learned it."

She blushed and looked very embarrassed.

"There is no need to blame yourself." Xia Ran shook his head and said, "These two magics are extremely difficult to learn. Eighty to ninety percent of adult wizards in the world can't do it, and even fewer are proficient in it."

"Today, we will also mention these two magics."

The three people's expressions immediately became clear, and they became more focused. They still hadn't forgotten the hardship they suffered under Snape.

Xia Ran saw it and said with a smile: "Relax, Legilimency magic is a very hidden magic. If the magic power is not enough, or you have no knowledge of this magic, it is possible that I cast this Legilimency magic on you and found me. You are not alert at all to what you want, and you cannot detect it at all.”

The expressions of the three of them fell, and Harry smiled bitterly: "Professor, if you say this, we will be more nervous, okay?"

Xia Ran shrugged.

Legilimency magic can indeed be used very covertly, peeking into your brain and memory, without you being alert at all and not discovering anything at all.

Therefore, when Xia Ran sometimes faced Dumbledore, she would pay attention to guarding her brain and release the Occlumency technique at all times.

Dumbledore is the truly top Legilimency master!
