New Professor at Hogwarts

"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Dumbledore's eyes lit up and he said, "Xia Ran, are you sure he will agree to my invitation?" After a slight pause, Dumbledore smiled bitterly: "I invite many people every year. Wizards, but almost no one finally agreed to my request, especially in the past two years, this phenomenon has become more and more obvious."

"Don't worry, if he comes to teach at Hogwarts, I think he will most likely agree." Xia Ran smiled confidently.

"Who?" Dumbledore was curious.

"Remus Lupin!" Xia Ran said, "Dumbledore, you must know Lupin."

Dumbledore nodded. Of course he knew about Remus Lupin, a werewolf. The Whomping Willow was planted for Lupine to enter Hogwarts, and the Shrieking Shack was born because of it. -These are mainly to cover up the movements of Lupine's transformation on the night of the full moon - How could he not know about Lupine?

When Lupine was a child, his father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, which led to the werewolf breaking into his house and biting little Lupine in a sneak attack, which resulted in little Lupine's mutation.

From then on, Lupine became a werewolf, and he would transform into an irrational werewolf every full moon night. Later, Dumbledore accepted him and was willing to let him enroll in Hogwarts, so he became qualified. The four-person Lanffindor organization: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, among which Moony is Lupine's code name.

Unfortunately, even if he graduates successfully and has an excellent resume, and Lupine is a kind-hearted person and has quite powerful magic skills, few companies will be willing to hire Luping because of his werewolf status. Even some companies that do not know his personal situation will be willing to hire him after they have been together for a long time. After that, more or less clues about his identity will be discovered.

At that time, Lupine will have to resign and leave, starting his wandering journey again, hoping to find the next job, even if it is only a short-term job.

Xia Ran has met Lu Ping a few times, and Lu Ping has also interacted with his parents. Generally speaking, the relationship is okay. Lu Ping is now in a state of looking for a job, wandering around. If he can get an invitation from Dumbledore, I think Lupine would be very happy to come.

Wasn't Harry's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in third grade in the original time and space the werewolf Remus Lupine?

And almost all the little wizards spoke highly of Lupine. He was indeed very qualified for the job of professor. He recommended Lupine to Dumbledore. It was not considered a backdoor approach. It should be said that he helped Dumbledore solve his urgent needs. After all, Dark For the position of Professor of Magical Defense, fewer and fewer wizards are willing to agree to Dumbledore's invitation to teach. Unlike other professor's jobs, where applicants are like crucian carp, Dumbledore can choose the best.

As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, it would be nice if someone could agree to it. How could you ask for more?

Besides, Dumbledore also knew about Lupine's abilities. He was not an ordinary wizard with little ability. On the contrary, Lupine's abilities were very outstanding. If his werewolf identity had not prevented him, he might have joined the Ministry of Magic and even become a department leader!

"Okay, I will write to him later and ask for his opinion." Dumbledore nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Xia Ran, for solving a big problem of mine."

Xia Ran waved her hand and said with a smile: "Professor, you rejected me before, but I applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position several times?"

Before he awakened the memory of his past life, he did apply for the professorship of this course, but due to various reasons, he was finally rejected by Dumbledore, so he applied for the professorship of combat course and succeeded in one fell swoop. .

"Hogwarts is even more lucky to have a combat professor like you." Dumbledore said with a smile. After all, the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is cursed by Voldemort. A wizard who has taught for more than a year has never appeared.

It seems that it would be better to serve as a combat class professor. Xia Ran is not sure about fighting Voldemort's curse. Isn't it possible that even Dumbledore can't solve it?

The exam time passed very quickly, and it was over in two days. After the students had nothing to do and no pressure, they could finally have fun. As a result, the atmosphere of Hogwarts Castle changed from the previous few days, and pranks were everywhere. , the administrator Mr. Filch looked very annoyed about this situation.

Lockhart quietly packed up all his things and left Hogwarts one night when it was getting dark. At that time, Xia Ran met him again. He originally wanted to rip off a sum of money, but then he thought that he was not short of money. He simply gave up, shook hands with Lockhart, and watched him walk out of Hogwarts in the night.

When Dumbledore announced the news of Lockhart's resignation at the end-of-school-year banquet, the four long dining tables cheered, and even many professors in the faculty seats smiled.

Xia Ran shook her head. Lockhart was so unpopular. No wonder he left quietly. But compared to the unlucky guy who was hit by his own forgetting spell in the original time and space, Lockhart was already lucky this time. .

"I'm just saying he won't be able to stay at Hogwarts for long," Professor Trelawney said solemnly.

Immediately, Dumbledore announced the winner of the House Cup this school year. Because Harry Potter scored two hundred points for Gryffindor, Gryffindor successfully defended the House Cup - the same as last school year. Gryffindor won the House Cup - a thunderous roar erupted from the Gryffindor table.

The banquet lasted until very late, and every teacher and student didn't want to leave too soon. Even when they went to the office and went to bed, Xia Ran still felt dizzy. He drank too much tonight.

The students left the school on the Hogwarts Express the next day. Xia Ran slept until two o'clock in the afternoon and had a hearty lunch. The house elves' cooking skills are always very good!

Immediately, Xia Ran packed her things and prepared to leave Hogwarts.

But at this time, he received an owl letter. It was an owl he did not recognize. After feeding the owl some food and drinking water, the owl fluttered its wings and flew away from his office.

Edsna stayed in her birdcage and looked at the owl.

"It turns out to be a letter from Lu Ping." Xia Ran opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled.

Lu Ping accepted Dumbledore's invitation and agreed to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the next school year. Because Dumbledore mentioned that this was Xia Ran's recommendation, Lu Ping wrote a letter to thank Xia Ran.

Xia Ran carried the suitcase in one hand and the birdcage in the other. After leaving Hogwarts, she directly used Disapparation and returned to Fremont Manor. She hadn't been home for almost a year, and the dust had accumulated. Quite a bit, after he put away his suitcase and Edesna's birdcage - Edesna flew out to hunt for food after him - it took him a long time to finally clean up his manor, and those goblins were particularly troublesome. .

When Xia Ran was planning to go to Gunter's old house, he actually received an invitation from the Burrow.
