New Professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 55 Banquet

Not long after, students from the four colleges and the entire school staff gathered in the auditorium. Hundreds of students gathered together. Just like the Halloween banquet more than a month ago, people were full of joy and excitement. , noisy, talking loudly to each other, as if they had never been so happy.

The professors will no longer pay attention to discipline today. They are also talking happily, loudly praising Dumbledore's strength, Xia Ran's bravery, and Harry's bravery!

Yes, people all know that the reason why the Chamber of Secrets incident was solved mainly lies with Dumbledore, Xia Ran and Harry.

"Professor Frémont, I really belong to you!" The other professors gave Xia Ran a thumbs up, then raised their wine glasses high, shouted and drank them all in one gulp.

"For Hogwarts!"

Xia Ran sat relaxedly on the chair. The Chamber of Secrets incident was over and she could rest in peace for more than a year. When Harry was in third grade, Sirius Black was only known to a very small number of wizards who were innocent, and among them was the White Wizard. On one side - at least Xia Ran definitely doesn't agree with the dark wizard's theory - there is only Xia Ran.

So during the Prisoner of Azkaban escape in the next school year, Sirius wandered around Hogwarts, knowing that it would not cause any harm to anyone else. Sirius' target was Peter Pettigrew, who is now Ron's Mouse spotted.

As for getting rid of Peter Pettigrew, he has no such idea for the time being. If he wants to clear Sirius's blame, Peter Pettigrew must be alive. He doesn't want to alert the snake yet.

Peter Pettigrew led to Voldemort's rebirth, which is just a historical process. Unless the Horcrux is destroyed, Voldemort is immortal. From a certain point of view, his return is inevitable and will not be shaken by anything external. But it's just a matter of time, that's all.

Because Harry is also Voldemort's Horcrux, unless Voldemort himself removes the soul fragments from Harry's body, he cannot be completely killed, which means that Voldemort will always be resurrected.

"Can Sirius still escape from prison successfully this time?" Xia Ran thought to herself as she took a sip of wine.

In the original time and space, because the Weasley family won the lottery and were published in the "Daily Prophet", they happened to be seen by Sirius in Azkaban Prison. He immediately recognized Peter Pettigrew because of his unforgettable hatred. Only then did he wake up from his trance, and was able to transform into an Animagus, avoid the dementors' search in the form of a big black dog, and finally successfully escape from prison!

But we have to wait for another semester, because now is the end of the first semester of Harry's second year, and the next semester has not yet started.

Harry and the Weasley family all left the school hospital and came to the Great Hall. Only Ginny was hospitalized at the request of Madam Pomfrey.

"I bet Ginny will be okay," said George.

"She could have attended this grand party." Fred said in a tone that felt sorry for Ginny.

Mrs. Weasley said: "No, Ginny must obey Madam Pomfrey's order and continue to stay in the hospital. You two..." She glared at Fred and George and continued: "Don't even think about taking it secretly. Ginny leaves the hospital!"

Fred and George looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and concentrated on the rich food on the table.

"It's been a long time since we had a banquet in the Great Hall." Mr. Weasley said with emotion. "Since I graduated, I have never been back to Hogwarts. I have not experienced this kind of banquet with hundreds of people in many years." That’s it.”

At this time Dumbledore stood up, and the teachers and students slowly stopped talking loudly, and all looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, tapped his throat, and recited the spell "with a loud voice".

"Today is a day worth celebrating! The Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk have all been solved, and Miss Weasley is also safe and sound. Those students who were unfortunately petrified will be the same in a few months when the mandrake matures. It will be restored to its original state and return to you again.”

The crowd suddenly cheered loudly and thunderously.

Dumbledore was smiling. He waited for the crowd's cheers to stop before continuing: "Here, I have a few more words to say."

"First of all, because of Mr. Harry Potter's bravery and fearlessness, and his crucial role in the Chamber of Secrets - his Parseltongue - I decided to give Gryffindor two hundred points!"

Deafening cheers suddenly erupted from the long Gryffindor table, and everyone was delighted that the house's score had suddenly increased significantly.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, who are also Gryffindor graduates, also clapped their hands.

Many students rushed to shake Harry's hand, and Harry felt that his hands were almost numb.

Xia Ran secretly laughed in his heart. Dumbledore always spared no effort in cultivating Harry because he believed that Harry was the key to solving Voldemort - this perception was correct - but Harry deserved this kind of reward and cheers. , because of his Parseltongue, he really helped a lot in the secret room incident.

"I have also made great efforts. Maybe it's time to ask Dumbledore for a monetary reward." Xia Ran secretly thought, what points can he add as a professor? It was he who gave extra points to the students of the four colleges.

However, he has little need for money. The inheritance left by his parents, his savings from working at the Ministry of Magic, and his current salary as a teacher at Hogwarts are all enough for him to last a lifetime. He actually doesn't care about financial rewards. .

"Books about magic..." Xia Ran quickly determined his choice. He decided to find a time to talk to Dumbledore, believing that Dumbledore would not refuse his request.

Hogwarts has thousands of years of history, and the collection of various magical books is absolutely beyond imagination. The library is only a part of it. After all, we cannot leave too advanced and dark magical knowledge in the library. Most of those books are by The contemporary principal keeps it in person.

"The canceled Quidditch competition will resume in the next semester. The Quidditch teams of each college must seize the time to start training. Our Ms. Hooch will serve as the referee as always." Dumbledore announced again thing.

Mrs. Huo Qi at the staff table nodded slightly. She was also a flying class professor, but flying classes were only offered to first-year students.

There were noisy discussions at the same time on the square table. Quidditch is a sport that countless people in the wizarding world love passionately. For example, Professor McGonagall is a loyal fan of Quidditch, but Xia Ran has relatively little interest in it. .

"We will also continue to carry out teaching tasks. We hope that everyone will achieve satisfactory results after the end of the school year. The few students who were unfortunately petrified will not need to take the exams at the end of the school year." Dumbledore continued to announce.

This time, the entire auditorium was wailing.
