New Professor at Hogwarts

"Okay, that's enough about the Horcruxes for the time being." Dumbledore said, "Minerva, you know, I think these things are worthy of a banquet to celebrate. Can I ask you to inform the kitchen? Woolen cloth?"

"Okay." Professor McGonagall stood up and left the principal's office neatly. The house-elf kitchen is located on the basement floor of Hogwarts.

"It's time for us to go, Dumbledore." Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said, also starting to walk towards the door.

Dumbledore said: "Arthur, Molly, if you are willing, I hope you will also attend this banquet."

"Okay, thank you then, Dumbledore, we will definitely stay and participate, just in time to see Ginny and Hermione again."

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley rushed to the school hospital to check on Ginny and see how Hermione was doing, although she was still in a petrified state.

In the end, only Charan and Dumbledore were left in the office.

"Xia Ran, I am so lucky to have a combat class this year, and you have become the professor of the combat class." Dumbledore looked at Xia Ran and said with a smile.

Xia Ran said politely: "It's also my honor, Dumbledore."

"Let's go together and notify the four colleges that the alarm has been lifted. Today is a day worthy of celebration." Dumbledore said happily, got up and walked around his desk, walking along the passage to the door first.

Xia Ran reluctantly glanced at the Gryffindor sword hanging on the wall, sighed softly, and followed Dumbledore's footsteps.

"Horcrux, that is a very evil thing." Dumbledore suddenly said while walking, "Xia Ran, you just said that Horcrux is one of the most evil black magic in history! It's hard to say Voldemort finally reached this point, is there any negative impact of Horcruxes?"

He declared the evil of Horcruxes in a casual tone, seeming to remind Xia Ran.

"I think there are many more beautiful things in the world than immortality, Xia Ran, such as love, friendship, and family affection." Dumbledore said softly.

Xia Ran knew the deep meaning of Dumbledore's words, because he knew too much about Horcruxes, and Dumbledore was worried that he would embark on the evil path of making Horcruxes, just like Tom Riddle once did.

Making a Horcrux itself requires killing. Unprovoked killing will completely change a person's mind, causing him to continue to tilt and slide in the dark abyss, until he reaches the darkest place where no sunlight can be seen.

Dumbledore didn't want another student of his - Voldemort was once Dumbledore's student, and when Xia Ran was studying at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had already served as the principal, but Xia Ran was still Dumbledore's student - — embarked on this evil and dark path.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore." Xia Ran smiled and said, "Horcruxes are not what I hope for. Splitting the soul has never been my choice. I personally think it is necessary to maintain the integrity of the soul."

Horcruxes need to be made by splitting the soul, and hiding part of the soul fragments in a certain object or container. As Xia Ran himself said, what he admires is the integrity of the soul. He traveled to Harry Potter's The reason why he can successfully travel to this world is because he has a complete soul. Not to mention other factors, if his soul is incomplete, can the time travel be successful?

Xia Ran believes that the answer must be no, so even if he desires immortality to a certain extent, he will never achieve it through Horcruxes.

"I was worried too much, Xia Ran. Please forgive an old man for being too talkative." Dumbledore said apologetically. Regarding the Horcrux, he knew Xia Ran's views and attitude. His previous worries were just unfounded worries. .

"Nothing." Xia Ran smiled softly and replied.

"Professor Dumbledore, Professor Frémont!" Hagrid's rough voice suddenly rang out, and two wizards walked hand in hand at the corner. One of them was tall and tall, and he was the gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid; the other was Looking extremely small, he is Professor Flitwick of Hogwarts' Charms class.

Working in pairs, they patrol Hogwarts Castle and protect the students in each house.

Professor Flitwick saw Ciaran chatting and laughing with Dumbledore, without any nervousness or solemn expression at all, and immediately asked excitedly: "Dumbledore, has the basilisk been solved?"

Dumbledore nodded happily and smiled: "Filius, you are still as sharp as ever. Yes, the Chamber of Secrets has been solved, the Basilisk has been killed, and Miss Weasley has also been rescued. We only need to wait a few more months. After Professor Sprout's mandrake matures, those students who are unfortunately petrified and living in the campus hospital can return to their dormitories."

"Great!" Professor Flitwick jumped up suddenly, showing his extremely excited mood.

"Hagrid, your grievances have also been cleared. I will write to the Ministry of Magic later to explain this Chamber of Secrets incident and clarify that when the Chamber of Secrets was first opened fifty years ago, the identity of your so-called murderer was innocent. Yes." Dumbledore looked at Hagrid again and said with a smile.

Fifty years ago, when Voldemort was a student at Hogwarts, he opened the Chamber of Secrets and caused Myrtle's death. At that time, Riddle slandered Hagrid as the culprit for opening the Chamber of Secrets. Although Dumbledore protected him, Hagrid was Still expelled from Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic destroyed Hagrid's wand and prohibited Hagrid from using it again.

Now the blame for all this can be removed. Hagrid no longer has to use a big umbrella to hide his wand and use magic secretly. He can learn and use magic openly.

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, thank you, Professor Frémont." Hagrid cried with joy and sobbed loudly.

Professor Flitwick patted Hagrid's thigh - he was too short compared to Hagrid and could only pat Hagrid's thigh - as a sign of comfort.

"Today we are going to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the solution of the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk. Filius, please inform the Ravenclaw students; Hagrid, please inform Gryffindor. student; Xia Ran, I will leave Hufflepuff to you. I will go to Slytherin House. I hope Professor Snape will not blame me for going to his house without permission." Dumbledore blinked and smiled. road.

Several people went to their respective directions at the next staircase. Xia Ran was very familiar with the location of the Hufflepuff common room. After all, he graduated from Hufflepuff and was next to the Hufflepuff common room. It was the house elf kitchen, and he happened to meet Professor McGonagall coming out of the kitchen.

"Has Hagrid gone to inform Gryffindor?"

Professor McGonagall then followed Xia Ran into the Hufflepuff common room, and announced to the confused Hufflepuff students the biggest good news today - and even the time limit can be relaxed to this year - the Chamber of Secrets and Snakes The monsters have been solved, Ginny Weasley has been rescued, and the petrified students can also recover in a few months!

The Hufflepuff students suddenly cheered loudly, and their book hats were flying in the sky. Even Professor McGonagall, who was always serious, did not stop her at this time, because she also had the urge to take off her hat and cheer.
