New Professor at Hogwarts

Xia Ran pretended to be embarrassed, as if she believed Sirius' words and was reluctant to take action, but she was a little worried, afraid that Sirius would lie and deceive.

"Aren't you going to take action?" Sirius asked, "You can continue to trap me. When you find out the truth, you will naturally let me go."

If one could avoid death, of course it would be better not to die, especially since Sirius wanted to avenge Harry's parents and kill Peter Pettigrew. Xia Ran knew that Sirius was not the kind of person who was afraid of death.

"Come in." Xia Ran waved her wand, the door opened, and the rope trapping Sirius floated automatically, taking Sirius into the Fremont Manor and landing in a corner.

From his point of view, it is impossible for Sirius and his family to completely believe him just because of their words. Therefore, even if he understands the inside story behind the scenes, he still will not let Sirius go directly in a short time. This requires a transition stage.

"Is there anything to eat?" Sirius asked, "I dare not change my human form these days. I am not living a human life. I am either picking things up in the trash or eating rats and bugs, but I am starving. "

Xia Ran suddenly laughed and said: "You have always been in the form of the big black dog of Animagus. Of course you are not living a human life anymore. Just wait."

He entered the house and happened to be hungry himself.

"Xia Ran, your craftsmanship is pretty good." Sirius had his hands free, and without caring about hygiene, he grabbed the steak and ate it. He was really hungry.

Xia Ran untied the ropes on his hands, but his lower body was still tied up, with a slightly believing but full of concerns attitude.

Of course Sirius doesn't mind this, as long as Xia Ran can initially trust him, it's best to give him more food, he is really hungry.

"By the way, Sirius, do you have any impression of your brother Regulus?" Xia Ran asked in a casual tone while eating.

"Regulus?" Sirius was slightly startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you asking Regulus?"

"I found something related to him." Xia Ran temporarily concealed the matter about the Horcrux.

"Then you are asking the right person, Xia Ran, after all, I am his brother." Sirius paused for a moment and said with a wry smile, "But I'm not sure if he regards me as his brother, after all... you know Yes, Regulus became a Death Eater."

Xia Ran didn't say anything about Regulus stepping back from the brink and stealing Voldemort's Horcrux. It was not the time yet.

"Regulus, like everyone else in my family, upholds the honor of pure blood and is proud of being a pure blood!" Sirius said, "I'm not surprised that he joined the Death Eaters. He didn't. I was surprised, but later Voldemort's face was completely exposed. He collected all kinds of dark creatures and established the Death Eater organization purely for his own selfish desires, not for the glory of pure blood - or, he thought this It’s just a very trivial point - after he gains power - especially if he can kill Dumbledore - the concept of pure-blood supremacy will definitely be promoted to the entire magical world!"

"He is scared. Regulus is scared. He doesn't want to stay in the Death Eater organization and wants to leave and break away from Voldemort."

Sirius smiled bitterly and opened his palms, throwing away the bones in his hands, and said: "Voldemort is not a good leader. Even if he is strong enough, Regulus cannot hand him a resignation report and be done with it. Either he will work for the rest of his life or else Death in the hands of Voldemort, or in the hands of any other Death Eater, I doubt that Regulus is of such importance that Voldemort needs to do it himself."

"As far as I know, he didn't die in the hands of any Death Eater, nor was he killed by Voldemort himself. He did something very important, but..." Xia Ran said and looked at the little boy. Sirius shook his head again and said, "You don't need to know this for the time being."

He was just trying to whet Sirius' appetite.

"An important thing?" Sirius showed a confused and surprised look as expected, "What is it? How did he die? Xia Ran, please tell me."

"Let's talk about it after your suspicion is completely cleared." Xia Ran waved her hand and tapped the wand, and several plates automatically flew into the sink and began to clean them on their own initiative.

Many days later passed, and it was getting closer and closer to the start of school at Hogwarts. Xia Ran and Sirius also chatted many times, and their attitudes changed - although they were always disguised.

"Xia Ran, are you going to Diagon Alley?" Sirius asked suddenly. He saw Xia Ran packing her clothes and getting ready to go out. "Please take care of Harry. As Harry's godfather, I have not done my best. any responsibility.”

Xia Ran nodded, and after leaving Fremont Manor, he used apparation and disappeared.

He received a letter from Mr. Weasley, inviting him to meet at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley.

"Xiaran, are you here? Come here quickly!" Mr. Weasley waved while sitting in the Leaky Cauldron. He could just see the situation on the street opposite.

There were many people in the bar. In addition to Mr. Weasley, there were also Mrs. Weasley, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Harry, and Hermione. They gathered around a three-sided table. The tables were pushed together and the bar owner Tom was serving food.

"Professor." Several young wizards shouted.

Xia Ran smiled and nodded, sat down in the empty seat next to Mr. Weasley, and said, "How was it? How was the trip to Egypt?"

"Awesome, Professor Frémont." Percy said first, "I think the pyramids in Egypt definitely contain very mysterious magical knowledge."

"We all know this, Percy," said George.

"Xia Ran, it's a pity that you couldn't go. Egypt is indeed a great place." Mrs. Weasley smiled and poured a glass of beer for Xia Ran.

"Thank you." Xia Ran took the beer and took a sip, looked at Hermione and asked, "When did Hermione arrive?"

"I also arrived today, Professor." Hermione and Ginny sat together and replied with a smile, "I set off from home a day early and will go to the station with Mrs. Weasley and the others tomorrow. I have told my parents Clear."

"How did you finish your homework?" Xia Ran said and immediately smiled. The most annoying thing for students during summer vacation is homework.

"Oh, Professor, don't mention the homework now, okay? Otherwise I will easily lose my appetite." Fred said exaggeratedly.

Ginny couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Fred, set a good example for your sister." Mrs. Weasley glared at Fred.

While they were talking, the dishes were served, and a group of people were talking to each other. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were listening to Fred and George's jokes and were very amused; Percy and Hermione were talking about their studies. matter.

Xia Ran chatted quietly with the Weasleys.

"They haven't caught him yet, Sirius Black, so we're going to come to the Leaky Cauldron, keep an eye on Harry, and escort him to the station tomorrow," Mr. Weasley whispered.

Xia Ran suppressed her smile. After all, Sirius was in Fremont Manor and was caught by him a few days ago, but no one knew about it.

I'm two chapters behind. I probably won't be able to write it today. I'll make it up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's also the weekend.
