New Professor at Hogwarts

"When will you start? Have you decided?" Sirius asked, "I can't wait, it's been so long... You know, I really hope..." He spread his hands and continued: "I can break into the Ministry of Magic! "

"Isn't now an opportunity?" Xia Ran smiled, "But we have to be more cautious. Although we have internal agents and the Ministry of Magic's security is much lax during Christmas, Death Eaters may be waiting for the opportunity."

"By the way, Xia Ran, we sneaked into the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. What are we going to take away? Or are we going to listen to a prophecy? What prophecy?" Lu Ping asked doubtfully.

This was also the answer to the question that Sirius wanted to know.

The Order of the Phoenix held a meeting a few days ago, and Dumbledore laid out this plan, led by Ciaran and Moody, with Kingsley, Tonks, and Arthur Weasley as internal agents, and Sirius and Lupin as assistants, a total of seven A wizard, working inside and outside, sneaked into the Ministry of Magic, and Xia Ran took away something, a magical item in the Department of Mysteries.

Except for Xia Ran, the other six people didn't know what that thing was, including Moody.

They were curious, what was Dumbledore's intention behind this move?

Xia Ran naturally understood that this plan was formulated together with Dumbledore and Snape.

Because of the message in time and space, Xia Ran knew that Voldemort was not only eager to get the Elder Wand, but also eager to get the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries. To hear the complete prophecy, Professor Sybill Trelawney applied for the job more than ten years ago. The complete version of the prophecy made while teaching Divination at Hogwarts.

Although the prophecy ball can only be touched by the characters involved in the prophecy, this does not prevent the Order of the Phoenix from taking this opportunity to send a signal that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​also planning on the prophecy ball!

Coupled with Snape's concealed summons, Voldemort may not be able to hide so much, and may be impatient to spend time on wooing dark wizards and dark creatures from all parties, which in turn will buy more time for the Order of the Phoenix.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the purpose of Xia Ran's trip is not to obtain the prophecy ball. On the contrary, if the time permits, their goal is to smash the prophecy ball and completely destroy Voldemort's hope of listening to the complete prophecy!

The other two people who knew the prophecy, one was Dumbledore, who was not afraid of Voldemort; the other was Professor Sybill Trelawney, who never left Hogwarts all year round, especially after Voldemort returned from resurrection. May Professor Trelawney step out of Hogwarts even if she doesn't realize it yet - as long as Hogwarts doesn't fall, Professor Trelawney will be safe.

The purpose of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​to break the prophecy ball, disrupt the sight of the Dark Wizards' camp, and draw out the undercover Death Eaters within the Ministry of Magic.

But this - sneaking into the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic and breaking the prophecy ball - is not an easy task. If there is no insider, they would not dare to take such a risky move.

"It's not to listen to the prophecy." Xia Ran said softly, "You will know by then. In fact, this plan itself is just a bait. The undercover Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic must have received the news - you also know, Si Nap is an undercover, double agent - so this may be a bad fight, and one cannot be careless."

Lupine and Sirius nodded.

They understood that Voldemort was eyeing a certain item in the Department of Mysteries, and what they had to do now was to get that mysterious item before Voldemort.

Needless to say, we knew that the Death Eaters would not give in, and a war might be inevitable.

Not long after, Moody also came to the old Blake house at 12 Grimmauld Place and asked: "Are you ready? If you are, let's set off. There is no need to contact Kingsley and the others. They have already arrived." It’s all arranged, just adapt accordingly.”

"Put on a big robe so as not to reveal your identity, especially since you two are still professors at Hogwarts." Lupine said, carrying four wizard robes and coming out with hoods, somewhat similar to those of Death Eaters. The clothes, but the colors are completely different. This robe is brightly colored, either sky blue, bright red, golden yellow, or turquoise.

The sky blue robe went to Moody, and the bright red robe went to Sirius. Lupine finally handed Xia Ran a green robe with a green hat.

Xia Ran's face immediately collapsed and asked for a change. He couldn't wear this green robe.

So Lupine switched with him.

Xia Ran put on a golden wizard robe and a hood. She felt pretty good and said, "All that's missing is a mask."

"We also have masks, you can choose for yourself." Lu Ping replied, also pulling out a box of masks from a cabinet in the kitchen, with all colors and styles available.

Xia Ran's eyes were surprised, is this mask sold wholesale? !

"You know, there are quite a few of us in the Order of the Phoenix, just for emergencies." Sirius shrugged.

Xia Ran chose a pale mask. On the snow-white mask, there were a few ink marks, like teardrops.

"Let's go."

The four of them stepped out of Blake's old house and disappeared at the same time. The sky was full of snow and wind, and no one was walking on the street, so no one noticed these four strange figures.

******

Because tomorrow is Christmas, most Ministry of Magic officials are on vacation, and there are very few wizards on duty, including several who are members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Xia Ran and Moody had both worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years and were familiar with the route. They passed the visitor phone box and went straight to the entrance of the Ministry of Magic hall.

There was almost no one in the Ministry of Magic at this moment, and no wizard had exclaimed when he saw a few people.

Statues of wizards, elves, goblins and other creatures still stand on the fountain in the Ministry of Magic hall, with the words "Magic is Power" shining brightly.

Xia Ran glanced at it, and a strangely placed newspaper came into view. Suddenly the expression on his face under the pale mask changed slightly, and he whispered: "Be careful! The situation seems to have changed!"

"Let's go to the Department of Mysteries first." Moody said solemnly. This time he did not carry his iconic cane, and his magic eye was covered by a mask. It was extremely difficult for anyone to recognize that this wizard covered in sky blue robes was an Auror. Hero - "Mad-Eye" Alastor Moody.

The four of them quickly came to the elevator and took the elevator directly to the ninth underground floor where the Department of Mysteries is located.

"Department of Mysteries," said the cold female voice in the elevator.

The fence door slid open slightly, and the four people walked out.

Lupine moved his nose slightly and whispered: "I smell a wizard."

Several people stepped up their guard.

Xia Ran held the wand tightly in her right hand, which was covered by the golden robe and could not be seen clearly by outsiders, which gave him certain convenience.

He walked slowly along a long corridor that ended with a dark door.

The Department of Mysteries is often extremely mysterious within the Ministry of Magic. He has rarely been here in the past, so he doesn't know much about it.

"There's movement!" Sirius suddenly said, and without waiting for anyone else to reply, he quickly ran to the side.

"Reckless!" Moody said, and had no choice but to follow.
