New Professor at Hogwarts

"Did you forget the Marauder's Map?"

Xia Ran smiled and said: "Although I thought of the Marauder's Map at first, I didn't completely notice this item. Sirius, you said, if the name of Peter Pettigrew is displayed on the Marauder's Map, wouldn't that prove it? Are you innocent?"

Xia Ran was a little annoyed. Lupine believed in Sirius in the original time and space, but when he questioned Peter Pettigrew, he forgot about this. It was really inappropriate.

"Yes!" Sirius clapped his hands suddenly and said happily, "I am one of the makers of the Marauder's Map, and Remus is also a maker. If Dumbledore sees the Marauder's Map, he is determined to make it as soon as possible. You can see through the truth and know whether it is true or false.”

"It's sooner rather than later. After I collect the Marauder's Map, I'll rush back to meet you and go to Dumbledore's principal's office together." Xia Ran said rapidly.

Sirius quickly reminded Xia Ran and said: "When I was in school, Filch took away the Marauder's Map, and..."

"Now it's in the hands of Brother Weasley. I met him once last school year." Xia Ran waved her hand and walked out of the office door. She quickly walked to the Hogwarts Great Hall, but the door was opened. A small gap for one person to pass through.

Xia Ran heard the lowered voices coming from the auditorium.

"Have you ever wondered how he got in, Professor?" Snape's voice asked.

"There are many ideas, Severus, but they are all equally untenable," Dumbledore replied to Snape.

Xia Ran thought to herself that it was great that Dumbledore and Snape were still awake at this time.

Suddenly he felt a headache. If Snape was present when he was talking to Dumbledore to prove Sirius' innocence, he would definitely want to kill Sirius directly.

Of course, Sirius probably had the same attitude.

"Do you remember that conversation we had, Headmaster, just...well, just before school started?" Snape lowered his voice and tried to cover it up, as if he didn't want others to hear him. .

Percy Weasley happened to be standing next to the two of them. It could be seen that Percy knew that Snape did not want him to listen to this conversation, but he was obviously very interested in his heart, so he shamelessly responded to Snape's conversation. The gloomy face pretended not to be seen, standing on the spot like a log.

The sleeping bags of Harry, Ron, and Hermione happened to be nearby. Presumably, the three of them woke up and listened quietly to the conversation between the principal and the Potions professor.

"Remember, Severus," Dumbledore said, with a hint of warning in his voice.

"Blake broke into the school without relying on internal support. This seems...impossible! We all know how good Hogwarts's defense is. I have expressed my concerns. When you specify..." Snape lowered his voice. vocal channel.

"I don't believe there is anyone in this castle who can help Black break in." Dumbledore said flatly, his tone clearly indicating that the topic was over, and Snape said no more.

Dumbledore continued: "I have to go down to find those dementors. I told them that we will notify them when we are done searching."

Xia Ran was secretly embarrassed. Dumbledore believed all teachers and students, but he did help Sirius enter Hogwarts Castle. However, he knew that Sirius was innocent, and he did not deliberately put the personal safety of teachers and students at risk. Except for Sirius who would attack Peter Pettigrew, he was unwilling to attack anyone else, and he was not a dark wizard.

Well, perhaps the exception is our Potions Professor Severus Snape.

"Aren't they here to help, Professor?" Percy asked doubtfully.

"Oh, yes, but as long as I am the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I am afraid that no dementor can cross the threshold of this castle." Dumbledore said coldly.

Percy suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Xia Ran entered the auditorium.

"Xia Ran, have you found any clues?" Dumbledore looked at Xia Ran and asked. He originally just asked as usual, just like he asked Snape just now, without expecting any definite response. As a result, But beyond his expectation, Xia Ran nodded? !

"Do you have a clue, Professor Frémont?" Percy couldn't help but ask.

Snape looked at Xia Ran with a strange look, as if expecting him to say a familiar name.

Xia Ran nodded again and said: "I have made some discoveries, but I still need something, a gadget."

"What do you need, Sharon?" Dumbledore asked.

"Professor, you will know later." Xia Ran did not answer Dumbledore's question directly, but asked Percy, "Percy, where are Fred and George sleeping?"

"Fred? George?" Percy was startled. He thought something was wrong with his two brothers. He was stunned and speechless.

Xia Ran chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with them, I just need a gadget in their hands."

"Okay, Professor, come here." Percy muttered, leading Xia Ran to Fred and George's sleeping bags, reaching out and patting them gently, and whispered, "Fred, George, Professor What's wrong with you?"

"What's the matter?" Fred immediately stuck his head out. It was obvious that he had been awake just now and might have been eavesdropping on the conversation between Dumbledore and Snape.

"Professor?" George also got his head out.

Xia Ran said straight to the point: "You still have the Marauder's Map, right? I need to borrow it for use."

"The Marauder's Map?" Fred and George looked at each other. George turned around and rummaged for a while, then came out with a roll of parchment and said, "Professor, the Marauder's Map."

"Professor, why do you need the Marauder's Map?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

Xia Ran chuckled and said: "You will know later, Professor Dumbledore, let's go out first and don't disturb the students' rest." After a slight hesitation, he continued: "Maybe we should call Harry too, right? Yes, and Hermione and Ron."

"Harry? Hermione? Ron?" The three brothers Percy, Fred, and George looked at each other.

"Okay." Dumbledore didn't ask why, but nodded directly, so the few people went back and woke up Harry, Ron and Hermione - in fact, they were not sleeping at all - when the three of them looked confused With a confused expression, he walked out of the auditorium.

Percy's last concerned look was hidden behind the door.

"Professor Frémont, you came to us..." Hermione couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Xia Ran comforted the three of them and said, "Relax, I'm not causing trouble for you."

But looking at their faces, the trio were still nervous and worried.

"Professor Snape, I hope you can listen to all the words before pulling out the wand." Xia Ran suddenly said this.

This time, not to mention Harry, Ron, and Hermione, even Dumbledore and Snape looked confused.
