New Professor at Hogwarts

"Everything goes well, Dobby is finally free." Xia Ran smiled, waved her wand, and changed into a chair for herself to sit on.

He then told Dumbledore his request.

"Books?" Dumbledore nodded and said, "Yes, I do keep a lot of precious books here, and some unique ones, Xia Ran..."

Dumbledore did not refuse Xia Ran's request, and also opened his collection of books. There was a room full of magic books, and Xia Ran wanted to move them all away.

"I have taken away some of the more dangerous books from the library. Those books are not suitable for students to read and can easily have a bad influence on them." Dumbledore said, "But it doesn't matter, Professor. You are interested in them." Just borrow any book. If you really need it, you don’t have to give it back to me, but you have to make a copy for me. After all, these are the collections of all the past principals of Hogwarts."

"I just borrowed it for a look, and will return it when I've read enough." Xia Ran said, and he finally borrowed seven thick books from Dumbledore, all of which were about curses, dark magic, Transfiguration and magical creatures.

After choosing the books, he said goodbye and returned to his office. He spent the next few days reading the books. Food could be delivered by the house elf in the kitchen using a spell. Anyway, there was a toilet in his office. , living a self-sufficient life without going out, he almost never steps out of the door.

The short vacation passed quickly, especially when Xia Ran was concentrating on books. It seemed that the next semester was coming soon, and the teaching tasks fell on Xia Ran. However, he did not find it difficult. He had already mastered many of these curses. Completely mastered it, otherwise he would not be qualified to be the combat class professor.

As for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, forget about it.

The Quidditch game resumed, and there were wins and losses among the four houses. But overall, Ravenclaw had the most wins and the highest points. In the last game between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, Gryffindor won the match. Gryffindor was unfortunately defeated in the end, and Ravenclaw won the Quidditch championship this school year. Gryffindor's teachers and students—Professor McGonagall is a loyal Quidditch fan— They all looked very depressed. Xia Ran discovered that the Gryffindor little lions were not active in the classroom during those two weeks.

Ravenclaw was naturally happy. After all, Hogwarts only had two honors in a year: the Quidditch championship and the Academy Cup. Although the Academy Cup was more important, the Quidditch champion was also a very special person. A big honor.

The students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff knew that they had no hope of winning the Quidditch championship, so they adjusted their mentality very early. Therefore, even though their grades were worse than Gryffindor's, they were actually not as good as Gryffindor's. The students are so frustrated.

In the next few months of the next semester, Xia Ran borrowed books from Dumbledore several times. He felt that his knowledge had been enriched a lot, and his level of transfiguration had also risen from level 4 (medium) to level 4. (higher).

The same is true for the level of Charms. At the end of the semester, it was upgraded to level 4 (advanced). Both of these were improved by his own efforts. Now his system panel has undergone certain changes.

[Name: Xia Ran Frémont. 】

[Age: 26 years old].

[Magic: Level 4 (Advanced)].

[Force points: 0 points. 】

[Transformation: Level 4 (Advanced)].

[Potion Science: Level 3].

[Charms: Level 4 (Advanced)].

[Herbology: Level 3].

[Flying Technique: Level 3. 】

His main improvement is still focused on magic level, transfiguration and charms. Potions, herbalism, and flying are still the same as before, still at level 3. He feels that if he really gets the next force point , it can be properly divided and used to improve Potions, Herbalism and Flying. You don’t need to be very powerful, but reaching level 4 is the minimum.

Relatively speaking, he is indeed more pleased with the improvement of magic power, as well as the rapid progress of Charms and Transfiguration, and is more willing to work hard on these three. If he has extra Force points, he does not exclude the use of Potions, In the three aspects of herbalism and flying.

"It's almost June. This school year is about to end. After the summer vacation, I can rush to Gaunt's old house. Slytherin's ring and the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Hallows of Death, must contain the original Strength points.”

Xia Ran suppressed his already restless mind. He glanced at the classroom and saw a group of wizards writing furiously. This was a theoretical examination.

The brown-haired girl sitting in the front with an anxious and confident face is Hermione Granger.

The petrified students were rescued one after another on the eve of the exam - Professor Sprout cultivated the mandrake, and Snape prepared the potion - originally these students did not need to take the exam, because at least they They lay in the hospital for a semester, unaware and didn't learn anything from the teacher, so they didn't have to take exams for this academic year.

But Hermione still applied to take the exam, including Penelope Crevat of Ravenclaw.

"Penello is a prefect, she will not fail to take the exam." Percy said, satisfied with Penello's decision.

During lunch, Ginny whispered to the others, "Penello is Percy's girlfriend."

After she was discharged from the hospital, she returned to her previous lively and cheerful personality, except that she was still nervous and blushing when facing Harry Potter.

"Ginny!" Percy heard Ginny's murmur, and his face suddenly turned red, and his neck was red.

The others couldn't help but laugh, feeling that the haze of the exam in their hearts had weakened a bit.

But they still have to take the exam in the afternoon.

During the exam, Lockhart took the initiative to apply for resignation to Dumbledore. Xia Ran was also on the side and heard the conversation between the two.

"Gilderoy, do you really want to resign?" Dumbledore said in a gentle voice.

Lockhart sighed and said: "Dumbledore, to tell you the truth, coming to Hogwarts to teach is the worst decision of my life, bar none!"

"I'm so sorry."

"I don't mean to blame you. The last time I applied for resignation, you rejected me because the school year was not over yet. Now it's the final exam. You can't still use this reason to reject me, can you?" Lockhart said .

Xia Ran recalled the scene when she met Lockhart after Christmas. It seemed that he went to Dumbledore just to resign.

"Okay, Gilderoy, thank you for your support and help this year." Dumbledore still agreed to Lockhart's resignation application and said, "You can go to the banquet before leaving."

"No." This time it was Lockhart who refused, saying, "I think the students and teachers don't want to see me attending the banquet, because..."

At this time, the two people came over, and Xia Ran coughed lightly at the corner, which was a reminder.

Lockhart reached out his hand, shook hands with Xia Ran, and immediately went down the stairs to his office.

"Hey, where are we going to find a wizard who is willing to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts next year?" Dumbledore said worriedly. This was almost his biggest headache every summer.

Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?

Xia Ran couldn't help but feel something in her heart, she immediately smiled and said, "Dumbledore, I have a candidate."
