New Professor at Hogwarts

"Xia Ran, what's wrong? Do you want to borrow a book?" Dumbledore was looking through a large book and said without looking up.

Xia Ran didn't come here to borrow books. He came here to ask for Gryffindor's sword, which was hung on a wall in the principal's office.

"I want to take a look at Gryffindor's sword, this rare treasure left by Godric Gryffindor." Xia Ran said.

"The Sword of Gryffindor?" Dumbledore raised his head at this time, staring at Xia Ran with his blue eyes, and said, "What do you want the Sword of Gryffindor?"

"Take a look. After all, it is a special magical item from ancient times, a relic of Gryffindor. I am indeed curious about the sword." Xia Ran said half-truthfully, as a relic of one of the four giants of Hogwarts , of course he was curious, but mainly because of the Force points it probably contained.

Dumbledore did not refuse, went around and took off the sword, and said with a smile: "Just take it and ponder it, just don't break it - although the sword is a tough and sharp weapon made by goblins, there is almost no such thing in the magic world that can be broken. There are things that damage the sword - but it is Gryffindor's sword after all, and it must be taken good care of."

Xia Ran took the sword, and a line of writing suddenly appeared on the system panel that his pupils could see.

"I found Gryffindor's sword. Force points: 40. Do you want to absorb it?"

Xia Ran suppressed the joy in his heart. He didn't expect to borrow the Gryffindor sword so easily. He also suppressed the urge to absorb the force points at this moment and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dumbledore."

He turned and returned to his office. The reason why Dumbledore did not refuse his request to borrow Gryffindor's sword was actually very simple. After all, although the sword was precious, the weapon used by wizards was a wand, and the sword was more of a symbol. The meaning - after all, it is the legacy of Godric Gryffindor - Dumbledore himself has no way to destroy the sword, and he also does not think that Xia Ran borrowed the sword to destroy it.

Supported by this kind of thinking, it is completely normal to agree to lend the sword.

boom!

Xia Ran closed the door of the office to prevent any teacher or student from coming in to find him.

"Absorb it?"

"absorb!"

He felt a cool breath filling his body, as if he had eaten a large bowl of sweet rice after two days of hunger.

"Well, 40 Force points cannot promote the improvement of magic level. It feels like a waste to use them in Charms, Transfiguration, Potions or Herbalism. It is better to keep them for other sources in the future. The income from the Force Points will further increase the level of magic power." Xia Ran thought to himself.

The last time he upgraded his magic power from level 4 (advanced) to the current level 5 (elementary), he spent a full 50 force points. And from level 5 (elementary) to level 5 (medium), naturally Need more force points.

Only then did he have the intention to look at the Sword of Gryffindor. Whether it was his illusion or some other lighting reason, he always felt that the luster on the sword was a little dim.

"In this case, it's better to wait ten days and a half before returning it." Xia Ran whispered. If you return it now, Dumbledore will find something wrong at a glance. But if it takes ten or twenty days, about It was an artifact, so it would be difficult for Dumbledore to detect anything strange.

Xia Ran touched her chin again and said to herself, "I wonder if the sharpness has been damaged?"

He waved his magic wand to create a thick piece of tree, and slashed it lightly with his sword. As expected, it was as powerful as breaking bamboo, and he cut through it easily.

"It seems there is no obvious impact." Xia Ran nodded with satisfaction, waved his wand again, and the two-part tree disappeared. He sheathed the sword and placed it on the corner of the table.

He became more interested in several other special magical items now known in Hogwarts, including the Invisibility Cloak in Harry's hand, the Sorting Hat in Dumbledore's office, and Dumbledore's Elder Wand. Especially the Elder Wand and the Sorting Hat, both must have more than 100 Force points. If they could absorb them all...

"Alas!" Xia Ran sighed softly.

******

This school year at Hogwarts, except for the presence of dementors - which are actually still wandering around the outside of the school, and Dumbledore will never allow them to enter the school without permission - has somewhat affected people's mood, everything else is great. of.

As for Sirius, people thought he had fled to some remote corner, or perhaps fled the country.

"I think he escaped from the country. I have taught him that although he is impulsive - indeed he can be called brave - Sirius is not stupid. There are so many Aurors chasing him. It is impossible for him to stay in the country. That's too dangerous." Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the Charms class, said during a meal one day in late October.

Xia Ran smiled, Sirius was now in Fremont Manor, neither a remote corner nor somewhere abroad.

"You still don't know him well enough, Filius." Professor McGonagall said, "Sirius has taken refuge with the mysterious man. He will never give up when he sees Harry at Hogwarts."

"That despicable, dirty traitor!" Hagrid said through gritted teeth. His voice was louder, attracting the attention of the students dining in the auditorium.

"Shh!" Professor McGonagall reminded Hagrid.

"I met him, and I comforted him. It's such a shame to think about it!" Hagrid hammered the dining table and said, "After James and Lily died, I was the first to rush to the scene and rescued Xiao Hagrid. Lee, poor little thing, has a scar on his forehead, and his parents are dead.

"Sirius showed up at this time, riding his old flying motorcycle. I had no idea where he was or what he was doing. I didn't know he was Lily and James' secret keeper at the time, and I thought he was too. I just heard the news of the mysterious man's attack, so I came to rescue him. The boy was pale and trembling all over, but do you know what I did? I actually comforted the despicable traitor who killed people!" Hagrid shook his hand heavily! Clenching his fists, he was still extremely angry when he mentioned what happened more than ten years ago.

"Hagrid, please!" Professor McGonagall whispered, "lower your voice. The students shouldn't know this."

Xia Ran found that Snape's face was particularly gloomy. He guessed that Snape might have leaked the prophecy to him, causing Voldemort to target the Harry family and regret it. He also felt very sad about the news that Sirius betrayed the Harry family. Angry, after all, Harry's mother also died in Voldemort's attack.

"Thank you for the reminder, Professor McGonagall." Hagrid continued, "How could that boy be sad for James and Lily? He was sad because his master fell! He also wanted me to hand Harry over to He, because of Dumbledore's order - he must take Harry to his aunt and uncle's house - so I refused him. If I really gave Harry to him, what would he do? He would definitely ride When that motorcycle flies over some strait or river, throw away Harry, and we won't even be able to find his body."

"Okay, Hagrid, stop talking," Professor McGonagall said.

Just then, Lupine entered the auditorium.

Snape suddenly made a mocking sound.
