New Professor at Hogwarts

When they returned to Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were guarding the Gryffindor common room. Originally, Professor McGonagall asked the three Harrys to go back to the Great Hall to sleep. But all three of them wanted to know what the final result would be, and asked Professor McGonagall to let them stay. Professor McGonagall thought about it again and again, and reluctantly agreed.

Peter Pettigrew was lying in a corner, tied tightly by a thick rope, with a look of despair on his face.

Seeing that the sky outside was getting brighter and the glow of the morning sun had begun to appear in the sky, Professor McGonagall frowned tightly, looking a little worried. After all, Dumbledore, Snape, Xia Ran and other five people had been away for so long. , but has not come back yet, and the target is the terrifying mysterious man and his followers, the Death Eaters. If she is not careful, she will lose her life. It is difficult for her to maintain a calm attitude.

"Albus is too reckless. Since he has to deal with the mysterious man, he should have called me or Professor Flitwick." Professor McGonagall couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"Minerva, I will definitely call you to join me in the next operation." A gentle voice suddenly came from outside the lounge, and five people entered the lounge one after another. It was Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin, Sirius, Xia Ran and the others.

Professor McGonagall stood up immediately and asked: "Albus, how is the situation?"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione also pricked up their ears and listened.

"When we went there, Crouch Manor was already empty. Mr. Crouch, Barty Crouch Jr., and their house elves were all missing." Dumbledore said softly, " But we found a chaise longue in the living room of Crouch Manor that retained a cold, dark aura."

"That is……"

"Voldemort!" Xia Ran interjected, "Those are the traces left by Voldemort. We are almost 100% sure that Voldemort was indeed able to leave the Albanian forest with the help of his loyal Death Eaters. Now, He is plotting his resurrection."

"Hiss!" Professor McGonagall suddenly couldn't help but gasped.

"Professor, if Voldemort wants to be resurrected, wouldn't it be..." Hermione pursed her lips and said, "He will definitely come to intercept Harry! I remember you just mentioned the requirements of the ritual, the blood of the enemy, the blood of the servant Flesh, father’s bones.”

"Yes, Miss Granger." Dumbledore said gently, "But Harry is obviously not the only enemy of Voldemort, but Harry is the only one who survived his Avada Kedavra - to be precise. Speaking of all the people who survived Avada's Kedavra - Harry may have a special meaning to Voldemort, after all, he has failed on Harry twice in a row - the first time was twelve years ago The first time, it led to the complete downfall of Voldemort, and the second time was when Harry was in first grade, when you together defeated Voldemort's conspiracy to seek the Sorcerer's Stone - he may have temporarily identified Harry."

"You mean..." Lupine frowned and said, "The mysterious person may choose other people for the ritual needs of resurrection?"

"I think it is possible, if he really has no way to catch Harry." Dumbledore nodded, "But before that, he will definitely make many plans and efforts, and will only change the target unless it is absolutely impossible." ."

Ron and Hermione looked at Harry worriedly, as if he was going to die tomorrow.

Harry immediately waved his fist and said firmly: "I will not be afraid of Voldemort. He killed my parents and so many innocent people. There is no way I will surrender to him!"

"Well done, Harry." Sirius smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Although Dumbledore looked very gentle and said nothing at the moment, Xia Ran secretly guessed that maybe Dumbledore was expecting Voldemort to use Harry's blood to resurrect him, which would deepen the connection between the two to some extent. Generally speaking, the deeper the connection, the easier it is for Voldemort to be killed by Harry, but it happens that he cannot kill Harry easily.

Just like in the original time and space, Voldemort made several attacks, but even though he had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, he was not able to kill Harry even once.

"Albus, I informed the Ministry of Magic. They will come at eight o'clock in the morning, and Fudge will come in person." Professor McGonagall said.

Dumbledore said happily: "We'd better do this under the witness of everyone." Then he looked at Snape and said: "Severus, please get a bottle of the most effective Veritaserum, I think that’s the kind of situation that would allow the minister to admit the truth.”

Snape left gloomily.

"Okay, let's all go outside the auditorium first and wait for the Minister to arrive at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said happily. With a wave of his wand, Peter Pettigrew floated up and walked along the Gryffindor Common. The entrance and exit passage of the lounge floats down to the tower.

Several people followed Dumbledore's footsteps.

Xia Ran fell at the end. He was thinking, will Fudge admit the news of Voldemort's return this time? In the original time and space, Fudge refused to acknowledge Voldemort's resurrection and return, which led to his break with Dumbledore and his subsequent downfall when the news could no longer be hidden.

Sometimes many of Fudge's actions seem difficult to understand and full of confusion. For example, he always thought that Dumbledore coveted the position of Minister of Magic.

This is a very unreasonable suspicion. After all, with Dumbledore's reputation and strength, he has had many opportunities to ascend to the throne of Minister of Magic, and no one in the magical world will think this is inappropriate behavior, but he They all refused.

Now that Dumbledore is more than 110 years old, and almost half of his body is buried, how can he still covet the position of Minister of Magic?

Fudge has been blinded by the minister's power. He is obsessed with pursuing power and cannot see the outside world clearly.

In Xia Ran's view, leaders like Fudge command the wizarding world, which is really in line with Voldemort's wishes. After all, there are not so many people who are simply holding back the achievements and failure. In fact, there are not that many people who are just helpless. It's just a contribution, not a hindrance.

This time the evidence is complete, let’s see what Fudge’s attitude is?

Xia Ran followed everyone outside the auditorium with great interest.

The professor who came to patrol the Great Hall at the moment was Professor Flitwick. Sirius and Peter Pettigrew appeared in his sight. When he saw them, he was startled and quickly pulled out his wand.

"Filius, calm down." Dumbledore said continuously, "I will explain this matter when the minister and others arrive later."

"Okay, okay." Professor Flitwick reluctantly withdrew his wand.

Not long after, Fudge came in from outside the school with a few Aurors, a big, dark-skinned man, and several serious-looking men.

Xia Ran said hello to the dark-skinned burly man. His name was Kingsley Shacklebolt. He was now a leader of the Auror Office. Xia Ran had a good relationship with him when she worked at the Ministry of Magic. , there is a certain friendship.

Fudge would not know that Kingsley was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix and recognized Dumbledore more than others. However, Fudge was present. In order to avoid arousing Fudge's suspicion, everyone else had a normal attitude, unlike Xia Ran. Said hello.

Everyone present knew Xia Ran's past work, so no one paid much attention to it.
