New Professor at Hogwarts

Xia Ran searched the Hogwarts Castle with Lupine and Snape. They worked in groups of three to prevent one person from getting into trouble or being in danger if they encountered an intruder. The three of them watched and helped each other, but they no longer had this worry. .

Xia Ran's face was solemn. He had been thinking about the origin of the red-haired wizard, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't remember that such a character appeared in the original time and space. Could it be a change in the plot?

And why did that person break into the Gryffindor common room during the Halloween dinner? Why did he do this? What's the purpose behind it?

"Sirius, hehe." Snape suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that the more than ten years of prison life have not taught him enough lessons, and he dared to break into Hogwarts. He was attracted by the red The hair wizard hit a few spells, isn't he already dead? That would be a great help to the Ministry of Magic."

Lupine looked particularly complicated. Sirius was once one of his best friends, but ended up defecting to Voldemort, leading to the death of the Potters and the death of Peter Pettigrew himself.

At this time, Lu Ping still didn't know the truth. He was still sad and angry, mixed with emotions.

Xia Ran was not prepared to tell him the truth at this time. Sirius had already been convicted, but by telling him something without evidence, he exposed the connection between himself and Sirius, arousing the hatred and anger of others. In the end, Sirius The grievances on my body were not washed away, but I was involved in it.

"Who is the red-haired wizard? He broke into Hogwarts like Sirius and went straight to the Gryffindor common room. What was his purpose?" Xia Ran was confused.

Lupine shook his head and said, "Is he also here for Harry?"

In the eyes of everyone except Xia Ran, Sirius broke into the Gryffindor common room because of Harry and wanted to kill Harry Potter.

"The red-haired wizard?" Snape said coldly, "Isn't he a relative of the Weasley family?"

"How is it possible?" Lupine was the first to not believe it, and said, "The Weasley family has a very good relationship with Harry, how could they be murderous towards Harry? Besides, the Weasley family all have red hair, so that doesn't mean The ones with red hair are the Weasleys."

The three of them searched Hogwarts Castle but found no clues or findings. After informing Dumbledore, they asked about Sirius and the red-haired wizard. Dumbledore also couldn't figure out the identity of the red-haired wizard. .

Because it was too late, the teachers and professors were exhausted and went back to the office to sleep.

The moment Xia Ran opened the door, she heard the meowing of a cat in the office. She immediately closed the door and lit the candle with a wave of her wand.

Crookshanks was seen squatting in front of a fainted figure, which turned out to be Sirius. Crookshanks licked Sirius's face with his tongue, making it slightly distorted.

"Sirius?" Xia Ran quickly walked over, checked for breath, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had breath.

"Meow?" Crookshanks looked at Xia Ran.

Xia Ran rubbed Crookshanks' big ginger head and said, "He's not dead. Don't worry. Thank you for your hard work, Crookshanks."

Crookshanks barked twice.

Sirius didn't seem to have any injuries on his body. With his distorted face, he might have been hit by a few Cruciatus Curses.

"Recover quickly!" Xia Ran pointed the wand at Sirius and chanted the spell.

Sirius stirred and then woke up, but his face was still as pale as paper, looking very tired and haggard.

Xia Ran recited another healing spell.

"Revitalization!"

Sirius suddenly felt a surge of energy coming out of his body, he was no longer so weak, and the pain in his body was also much weaker.

"Thank you, Xia Ran." Sirius stood up.

"Sit down first, Sirius." Xia Ran conjured a chair and sat down behind the desk.

Sirius sat on the chair and exhaled slowly. Crookshanks jumped on his lap. He put his fingers on the ginger cat's neck. Crookshanks narrowed his eyes in comfort.

"Today is really unexpected." Sirius said with a wry smile.

Xia Ran asked: "What's going on?"

"It's a long story." Sirius said with a wry smile, "When I checked the time, I happened to meet a red-haired wizard chanting a spell for the Fat Lady. He also saw me and seemed a little surprised. But he immediately attacked me, and he shot the Avada Kedavra, so cruel! I'm sure that the red-haired wizard is 100% a Death Eater who escaped justice!"

"Death Eaters? Do you know them? Do you have any impressions?"

"No." Sirius shook his head and continued, "I have never seen the red-haired wizard, but he is very powerful and has a very high degree of control over magic. Yes, I was caught off guard and didn't fight. You can beat him, but there will be a next time..."

Sirius's eyes radiated a ray of excitement, as if full of fighting spirit, and said: "I will definitely give him a surprise!"

Xia Ran's mind raced, and she remembered a magic potion, and asked: "Do you think the red-haired wizard drank the polyjuice potion and changed into someone else's appearance to sneak into Hogwarts?"

This is what he just thought of. Polyjuice potion, as a relatively difficult magic potion to brew, has the effect of helping wizards change into other people. Just add a little hair of the person you want to change into the potion.

"It's possible!" Sirius nodded and said, "A wizard as powerful as him will never be unknown in the magical world. He must have changed his appearance through the polyjuice potion to avoid being accidentally seen by others and exposing himself. identity."

"Who do you think he will be? Which famous wizard in the magic world? Or an ordinary wizard who hides himself?" Xia Ran touched his chin. Even though Sirius had been in prison for more than ten years, he suffered from the dementors. Suppressed, but he still has level 5 magic power and can suppress Sirius. The red-haired wizard may have reached level 6 magic power.

There are only a few such level 6 wizards in the entire magic world.

In Hogwarts, there are only the deans of the four major colleges: Professor McGonagall, Snape, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout. Of course, Dumbledore must be much stronger than Level 6. .

As the oldest magic school in the wizarding world, Hogwarts has always been strong. In terms of high-end combat power, it even surpasses the official Ministry of Magic.

Sometimes the current Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge's concerns and fears about Dumbledore are not without reason.

"Let me think about it, there are indeed some powerful dark wizards among the Death Eaters, but there are not many who are that powerful." Sirius said, "Antonin Dolohov, and my Marrying Lestrange's cousin... No, she is not that strong, and Lestrange is not that powerful, so who else? But Antonin Dolohov and others have been caught In Azkaban Prison, apart from me, the Daily Prophet did not say that there was a second prison breakout. This kind of thing must not be concealed."

"Wait!"

Xia Ran had a flash of inspiration, clapped her hands suddenly and said, "I know!"
